Read Imam Zaid’s article about his response to the tragedy at Fort Hood.
From Imam Zaid:
This is my response to the Fort Hood tragedy and events both associated with it and ensuing from it. I begin by expressing my deepest condolences to the families of all of the dead and wounded. There is no legitimate reason for their deaths, just as I firmly believe there is no legitimate reason for the deaths of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani civilians who have perished as a result of those two conflicts. Even though I disagree with the continued prosecution of those wars, and even though I believe that the US war machine is the single greatest threat to world peace, I must commend the top military brass at Fort Hood, and President Obama for encouraging restraint and for refusing to attribute the crime allegedly perpetrated by Major Nidal Malik Hasan to Islam. We pray that God bless us to see peace and sanity prevail during these tense times.
KALW – CrossCurrents – Zaytuna College with Imam Zaid Shakir
Imam Zaid appeared on CrossCurrents to discuss the opening of Zaytuna College.
Zaytuna College will be the first Islamic college in the country, based right here in Berkeley. The syllabus will include Islamic studies, and the humanities like history, and philosophy. One of the people making it happen is Imam Zaid Shakir, an African-American convert to Islam, who was born in Berkeley. Today, he’s an internationally reknowned scholar of Islam. Host Hana Baba sat down with Shakir and asked him if he expected any conflict to arise from teaching both western philosophy and Islamic ideas.
