What Does Religion Mean To You?
June 20, 2005 | 13 Jumada al-Ula 1426
Some of you may know that I am muslim. This statement may also shock many of you since I haven’t “acted very religious” in the last several years. Some of you have only known me post-religeous zeal. I have not talked very much about religion with many of you. As a matter of fact, I have kinda made a resolution to not discuss religion. It’s not always been the greatest thing to do in the past. People can get really sensitive when it comes to religion. But I happened to be surfing the Net and came across an article by Hamza Yusuf, one of the founding members of the Zaytuna Institute, a non-profit, educational institute in the manner of traditional Islam. I have and still have a great deal of respect for Mr. Yusuf. He has a very sensical way of looking at Islam and the world. He touches on some points I found very interesting in an interview on the BBC. Give it a whirl (you’ll need the RealPlayer). There are also a number of interesting interviews on the same page as well. Check it out here: 1 | 2 | 3.
