Shaykh Yusuf Badat's Explanation of Radicalization on Ceeb Radio Leaves Much to Be Desired

Imam ShaykhYusuf Badat told Ceeb radio host Matt Galloway this morning that he's most concerned about the "radicalization" of local Muslim lads who take it into their heads to run off and fight with ISIS. (You can listen to their conversation here.) Badat, who's imam of the Islamic Foundation of Toronto and who serves as veep of the Canadian Council of Imams, claims that the problem is that the radicalization occurs when certain verses of the Koran are--stop me if you've heard this before (and I'm sure you have)--"taken out of context."

Badat didn't specify which verses he means, but we can be fairly certain that they include the ones Robert Spencer highlights here.

Galloway, being a typical Ceeb know-nothing, failed to challenge Badat on two sore points. First, that during this year's "Doors Open" event, Badat's Islamic Foundation displayed material calling for jihad. Second, that the Canadian Council of Imams has, yes, condemned ISIS for its violence. But it has also denounced the neo-caliphate because--and this is critical to understanding the CCI mindset--ISIS has flouted sharia law pertaining to dhimmitude.

Gee, do you think the young'uns who have heeded jihad's siren call think Badat is as big a hypocrite as I do? And isn't this hypocrisy a huge part of the problem?

You and your self described free speech appreciating and 'sense of humor' is useless without intelligence. You're evidently stupid (under educated atleast) in that you would make the comment...

I am a passionate Christian; I also know a great deal about Islam and have friends of all faiths.

The world does NOT need more self-content, ignorantly superficial voices such as your own. Clearly you are 'low class'. A worthwhile person would get to know a LOT MORE about a subject (in this case Islam) before they would careless throw out such self-satisfied 'mighty judgments' as you have.

It's clear to ANY ONE who KNOWS ANYTHING about ISLAM and who is not SUPERFICIALLY PREJUDICED that the Islamic teacher in his answers to the narrator very INTELLIGENTLY & COMPLETELY answered the questions.

THE PROBLEM with persons like yourself is that since you KNOW NOTHING, you 'fill in the spaces' where knowing & understanding would provide CORRECT UNDERSTAND'G with your own PREJUDICIAL point of view.

GET EDUCATED or SPARE US your 'PAP' point of view!
