As Salau Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatahu

This is a start for the film industry to recognize the American Muslim and Musleema, their decisions, choices, discriminations, and determinations to be a voice among voices in one nation.

@TRUTHSeekersAiNV yea yea yea, gimme a break. How do you know what is in his heart? The video is about 7 minutes. Can you see the Ghaib? Last I heard only Allah can see the unknown. Why is it when a Muslim tries to do something, there is always another takfiri to label him a kafir? When Shamsi Ali tried to have talks with Rabbi's & hold multi-faith talks here in Canada u guys showed up; and acted like animals. Show some class.

@TRUTHSeekersAiNV Are you a Salafi? Because you sound like it. Here's a hadith for you The Prophet (saaws) said that whoever declares another Muslim a Kufar without justification the accusation bounces around until it becomes true of one of you. Go study what the fiqh according to four imams says about what qualifies someone as a Muritad (apostate) and then make wudzu and pray rakatain for taubah. You need guidance and a shy tongue.

Amazing the comments here. All professing to know "The Right Way." but still acting as if you are worthy to judge the intentions of this man's heart. You are not Allah. Only Allah is the true judge. When a man or woman is on the pathway to knowledge, they are on their way to Allah. You should pray that they never return. If they return that is to say that they've found it..when you think you've found it, you lose it. For it is infinite. None are Worthy of judging the heart of another.

I find it strange how people want to judge and label us (especially within our own community). Who can call anyone real or not.  I am so glad he is doing this.
