Hi all.
The following is a lecture from Shiekh Hamza Yusuf. (BTW - Shiekh literally means 'old man' in Arabic but it is a title given to scholars, dispite their age).
For those of who you don't know who Shiekh Hamza Yusuf is, he is the most prominent and one of the leading figure heads on Islam in America today. Thousands and thousands of people attend his regurlar lectures.
He is also the founder of the Zaytuna Instituite, which is one of the leading Islamic study center in the West which teaches 'Traditional Islam'.
Anyways, here is his reflections on the current crisis in the Middle East. Everyone should watch this, because he relates (like he usually does) on a 'human' global level rather than a specific Islamic level (only if his intended audience is the Muslims).

I hope we can all learn from these wise words.
