Brother Noori, I wanted to comment on each of the videos. I will post all video links in one post (more to come) I am not saying this is an interfaith harmony gathering. I am commenting as to why they invited christian fathers. Habib 'Ali is calling them 'father'. What does that have to do with Tasawwuf? And I did not mention Dr Tahir, anywhere, if that person is who you are referring to by 'tq'. Sorry, about the multiple posts.
ya akhi you are unnecessarily posting link after link while all the videos from the event are available in the side listing. secondly, just inviting christians to the conference does not make it an interfaith-harmony demonstration as tq did. until and unless there were such statements (i did not watch all of them in full), we should refrain making such claims. yes, you are right, qaraDawi was praised, hasan nasrAllah was praised and many other eccentricities therefore we cannot call it a true sufi conference.
Habib 'Ali Zain al-'Abidin has been doing the same speech for a decade! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyIFs1lktc8&feature=related He does not mind the mixed gathering either. They are pulling in all innocent shuyukh who have nothing to do with this show-off like Shaykh Yusuf al-Rifa'i
Here they are making a woman translate?! She even touched his hand!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OY8xcvqYtwU&feature=related This show-off of tasawwuf is a copy of what Mark Hanson does in North America.
The utterly dirty rafiDi (I know him very well) nasrallah of hezbulla being praised and applauded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmmc0V1tjSs&feature=related They even invited christian leaders and are proudly declaring it. Is this a Sunni Conference, or an interfaith gathering? ali Juma, who is the fake mufti of egypt, is sitting on the panel opening the progm. Brothers please check three non-mahram women sitting right behind Habib 'Ali at 2:15. He is sitting with the coptic mushrik.
In this video, you can see the 'Iraqi Kurd. He does not even know how to put on the 'Amama Shareef properly. He is wearing it like those twelver mullas in the south. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mvg55IE2Ty0&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=95kWCXqTgrg&feature=related Here qaradawi the modernist wahabi is praised as one of the saliHeen. List at 9:10
Here you have a woman speaking on the stage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWOvYdCyMXE&feature=related watch at 5:16
This is now becoming accepted behaviour. Habib 'Ali is sitting with a coptic mushrik in the beginning of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu9jUoOz_eY&feature=related We should promote Sunnism, not Sufism. Sufism is inclusive to Sunnism. Such gathering only help to increase jahalat among the masses. Is this how one will counter salafism? This is modernism, not sufism.
