"The Irony of Democracy", a Zaytuna Faculty Lecture by Imam Zaid Shakir

[itsmuqeet]

Informative lecture on the American political system. In the last question on the Q&A he mentions the disappointment with Bush's election and then the voting for Obama. Given the foreign policy pursued by Obama what does he make of Muslim's voting for him? Also is there an alternate and more effective way of engaging with the political system to protect Muslim interests other than participating in elections.

Who else smiled when the Shaikh started singing at @37:15?

As salaamu alaykum, great lecture - thanks for sharing this with everyone.

Is he just wearing 2 skull-caps? I love the style - but I feel like my head is too big to fit them both on there.

Shaykh Hamza does it too - white cap/black cap. Looks baws.
