Imam Zaid Shakir’s response to Front Page Magazine’s personal attack
Imam Zaid Shakir, may Allah bless him with the best in all realities and protect him, has issued the following statement:
“Although I do not expect propaganda organs like Front Page Magazine or Muslims Against the Sharia to be interested in the truth, I would expect that you would do a minimum amount of fact-checking. Contrary to what you print in your story “Horowitz Speech on Radical Islam Has Repercussions at Northwestern”, I was not a co-founder of Masjid Al-Islam in Oakland, California, nor have I ever been affiliated with that mosque. I was a co-founder of Masjid Al-Islam in New Haven, Connecticut. Our mosque was founded to serve, in the words of our motto as “a moral voice in the community.” The mosque has been and continues to be a source of spiritual guidance and social and economic services for a largely poor and an underserved inner-city community. A correction on your part, while not anticipated, would be appreciated.” – Imam Zaid Shakir
This statement is in response to Horowitz Speech on Radical Islam Has Repercussions at Northwestern published by FrontPage Magazine and and reposted by Muslims Against Sharia (where we originally found the story and shared it with our beloved Imam)
We humbly request all students and friends of Imam Zaid to link to this announcement (on your blogs, websites, social networks, etc.) to spread the word about this issue.

Islamophobes are on a low…apparently the Islamofascist week this year ended up having a really low turnout. I think maybe it was because of the Obamania?
But generally, I think people are getting tired of these losers and recognize that their nothing but bad writers who just spew hate. No arguments, no substance.
End of story.

Good response.

As Muslims, why do we continue to give legs to this nonsense?
Ignore it, and it goes away, insha Allah.
Muslims Against Sharia Says: December 6th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
The following correcting was added to MASH post:
“Correction: The article below incorrectly states: “Imam Zaid Shakir, who co-founded the Islamic fundamentalist mosque Masjid al-Islam in Oakland, California.” As Mr. Shakir pointed out, he co-founded an Islamic fundamentalist mosque Masjid al-Islam in New Haven, Connecticut. We thank Mr. Shakir for providing correct information.”

Firstly, your 'correction' or 'correcting' is not a correction.
Secondly, you have attributed a false statement to Imam Zaid Shakir.
Thirdly, it seems you have utilized the following:
http://www.nolo.com/definition.cfm/Term/85BAB88...
Please note that this definition is not from a Sharia standpoint.
Question: Have you ever visited Masjid al-Islam in New Haven? Or are you basing this on hearsay? Delusions? Brainwashing?
Here's a thought: why spend your time slandering community leaders when there are SO MANY other pressing matters afflicting us? Why not spend your time and efforts in curbing drug abuse, domestic abuse, corruption, ignorance and MISEDUCATION? How do your efforts establish family foundations, social activism, beneficial education and community improvement?

Why does every Islamonazi dipshit has such a deep sense of entitlement?

Are you calling me that? It's obvious you love slander. Not a deep sense of entitlement (or shallow one either), just stating the obvious. Another statement of fact: you're slow (it's been a month, dude). One more thing, can't answer my questions? Stop wasting my time and your time.
