Really? So I guess all the musicians who are also philanthropists are worth nothing.
Im not sure how many Muslims you have had a discussion with of this far right mentality, but in my experience when he says "demonstrate the benefit in their lives" he means that they should be demonstrating the Islamic faith EXACTLY the way he personally follows it. When they are that far right of a cleric or whatever he is, every sentence must display some sort of quranic foundation. At least some of the hard right xians in America might hang around and have a conversation with an atheist... someone of this caliber of Islam jumps in, slams it down as hard and blunt and hateful as he possibly can muster, then completely ignores anything else you have to respond because what you have to say is not good enough his ears.. only the quran deserves to be spoken of positively, everything else is suspect.
