Br. Omar Nasser, the brother that made the documentary on Islam in America, he's the one interviewing Imam Siraj Wahhaj in this video.

He was recently involved in a car accident (may be a hit and run) which left him in coma for 4 days. He has since come out of the coma and been discharged, although he is in serious condition and at home resting. Please make dua that the brother is granted a full and speedy recovery.

muslims will argue about ANYTHING>>>>

shut your mouth already and listen to the video.

[zaqmpl]

I guess he doesnt answer that question because he does not believe in the division of Islam. You either believe in allah and the prophet and follow his steps and his following companions. Are you do not. It is as simple as that!
