WOOHOOO. Why Islam Symposium mashallah was OFF THE HOOK. haha im not even jokin man. Imam Zaid Shakir, Siraj Wihaj, Hamza Yusuf, Abdullah Idris Ali, and Dr. Jamal Badawi. Hamza Yusuf mashAllah finished it off for the best. it was suppose to start at 6, but ofcourse started at 7:30 which i was fine with. finished at 12ish. They all put jokes in, which always makes it more good 2 hear. Imam Zaid Shakir spoke abt various things, such as African Americans have more right 2 this country then ppl comin here sayin bad stuff abt them. when they the 1 with the foreign accent. hah. which is mad tru. Hamza Yusuf basically spoke how America is a good country n how its basic principals are straight outta Islam, but thers sumd efects ofcourse there is mostly. n hes scottish. n hes like htere motto ..it suntin lik how u treat us is how we treat u..n he goes thats how us muslims are..u mess with us .we mess with u ahha. mashAlah i had a great time. i volunteered alhamdulilah durin the fundraisin part. man ppl get really annoyin. but i mean alhamdulilah three people pledged 50,000!! and 2 i think 25,000 and 3 or more for 10,000 mashallah.
