    AlHamduLilAllah, I wish the large numbers of converts to Islam in North America, especially, are able to access sites like Ma'rifah so that they could simply come out of their bewilderment in the Salafi camp. They get disfranchised in the salafi camp, thirsty for spirituality, and a big majority of these do come towards Tasawwuf and change, but a sizeable community just do not have access to such excellent Sunni Spiritual web pages. They simply remain there, some apostasize, others go into shiism as I saw on shiachat, or perennialism.

    This bewilderment is much much more among the Arab youth like Egyptians, Algerians, Tunisians, and now massive in Bangladeshis (just go to Dhaka), though the Bangladeshis are in progressive Islam. It is taking massive strides in common Nigerians but has evaded Indonesians mostly but not completely. Unfortunately, Ma'rifah is not geared towards the 600 million 'arab.

    Shaykh Hamza Yusuf did make an effort with his MBC TV program "Rihla with Shaykh Hamza Yusuf" for the program "Yalla Ya Shabab" if I remember correctly.
