My gripe with this is grouping meat with processed foods. Processed food is relatively new compared to eating meat which has been going on for centuries. Meat On a side note, being a vegetarian(or rather being a pescatarian) is probably wiser if you live in a western country. There are huge issues with meat mass production from bogus halal labels to unethical treatment of livestock. In fact you can't even trust the meat in Saudi and other gulf countries. Many restaurants over there will use imported meat from Brazil or Mexico.
In fact, one of the reasons the verse enter into Islam fully was revealed was because Sayyiduna AbdAllah b. Salam abstained from camel meat due to his Jewish past. It wasn't even fard for him to consume it but it was being made clear, you are now Muslim so don't hold onto past persuasions, so Hamza needs to stop appeasing kafirs.
He is an utter idiot. What about in the time of Hazrat Ismail Alaihi Salaam when meat was the core diet? And where does Islam state that one must be a "semi vegetarian"? Coming to his speech is he prepared to issue a verdict on a vegetarian who accepts Islam and refuses to eat meat considering it to be "morally incorrect" to do so? The Prophet ate meat period, so what is the ruling on such a vegetarian convert who considers it incorrect to eat meat?
Besides, he's just being sneaky with words as usual and pandering to vegans and hindus. There's no such thing as a semi-vegetarian. What does semi-vegetarian even mean - that 50% of your diet is meat? That means you're a non-vegetarian and a meat eater. (Reminded me of zameel who doesn't lie, but rather only issues untrue statements) Guess its the semi-Muslim in him speaking!
Mark hanson against eating meat and biryani... yes biryani Someone tell him meat doesn't cause diabetes! https://youtube.com/shorts/Lf9KsWnG7nw?feature=share
has he forgotten it was his forefathers who colonised america that subsequently led to the protestant carnage across the globe. why does he not mention this barbaric tradition?
somebody send the stooge (hamza, who else) a list of the military interventions by america if he didn't know already. and if he did... sharm tum ko magar nahin aati. --- https://sites.evergreen.edu/zoltan/interventions/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_interventions_by_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations ---
Says some weird stuff. " unfortunately in our tradition we have a militant tradition, military figures are really revered" (min 35:00+) Al iyadhubiLlah! https://www.minhaj.org/english/Over...ate-terrorism-religion-politics-Pakistan.html "Radical and conservative attitudes are ideological in nature and give birth to militancy and terrorism."
Sorry if this is off topic. Didn't want to make a new thread about it but : https://www.weforum.org/agenda/authors/hamza-yusuf-hanson World Economic Forum features HY on their website...
He's (walid saleh) a kafir dog and a munafiq. Read this "peer reviewed paper" and count the blasphemies! https://www.academia.edu/39655290/M...3_Surat_al_Zukhruf?email_work_card=view-paper Don't think I'm behaving like indian police, just shooting a guy (metaphorically) in "encounter" with takfir without running the due course of the Shariah law (to achieve the same result through the right approach). I ask any Muslim with Noorani Qaida level knowledge of Islam and same minimal level of shame and decency to please read that paper and see if I'm being unjust and trigger happy with khariji style takfiring! (Just try to spot the utterly disrespectful sarcasm and blasphemies in the first few paragraphs for a start)
berkley center at georgetown university seems to be quite the cesspool for mixing religion with western academia and brewing kufr read about their building bridges seminars here https://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/projects/the-building-bridges-seminar these seminars are frequented by tim winter, maria dakake, caner dagli and the other contributors of the study quran and mark's super duper shia friends like reza shah kazemi, and so on download and read the proceedings of the 10th seminar themed 'prayer: christian and muslim perspectives', read 'A Muslim Response to Christian Prayer' by caner dagli (he pretty much shares joseph lumbard's views on trinity) https://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/publications/prayer-christian-and-muslim-perspectives i don't know if mark hanson has participated in these seminars, but he's also been to the berkley center (he also said no group takfir in response to a qadiani's question at this same venue) https://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/people/hamza-yusuf
a shamelessly (and accidentally) candid expose of this shameful project by some dajjal called abdullah drury https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09596410.2016.1148886 https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/obtuse what about the entire Baqarah and Aal-i Imran? are they "obtuse", offensive and inaccurate too, to christian and jewish academics (wal 3eyadhu billah)?
btw, hamza on respecting ganapati https://sunniport.com/index.php?threads/mark-hanson-on-respecting-ganpati.14860/#post-72629 ---- one should know nasr and his guru, schuon to understand where hamza comes from. besides, hamza's blabbering about hinduism is plain gobar.
"essays" in the study quran and their authors (continued): The Quran and Sufism - by william c. chittick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Chittick https://www.williamcchittick.com/ (don't be misled by excessive name-dropping of Ibn Arabi and Rumi; the guy has shiite-perennialist thought just like nasr) ---- The Quran and Islamic Art - by jean-louis michon (deceased 2013) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Louis_Michon ---- The Quranic View of Sacred History and Other Religions - by joseph lumbard (see post # 7 for his intro and a blatantly kufriya comment from this essay) ---- Quranic Ethics, Human Rights, and Society - by maria massi dakake (see post # 7 for this hijabless shia lady intro) ---- Conquest and Conversion, War and Peace in the Quran - by caner k. dagli (see post # 7 for intro to him) ---- Death, Dying, and the Afterlife in the Quran - by mark hanson (aka hamza yusuf) search the entire forum for his shameless comments. this essay is just another exercise in utterly shameless equivocation and somewhat of an expansion and rehashing on his old "Who are the Disbelievers?" piece as well as his other cacophonies. for example:
