It is unfortunate that the respected Abdassamad Clarke was not accorded with the respect, or greet in a manner befitting, someone of his age, knowledge, and record of service for helping transmit tradition/classical knowledge to Muslims in the West.

I really think that we lost a golden opportunity to learn much from the respected scholar due to the way some members interacted with him.

sorry brother I really do not understand what you are saying, are you saying that there is something wrong with having deep al-Murabitun type thoughts about harmonizing the European psyche with Islam via its ancient cultural heritage and the beautiful amaal of Madinah?

As far as I am concerned that was a compliment and I am the one who wrote it.

Are you speaking on behalf of Abdessamad Clarke or just stating your opinion?

I follow the Maliki school myself and am in many ways influenced by the writings of the Murabitun thinkers, and if you do not know Abdessamad Clarke and the Murabitun are indeed involved in the above process as is obvious from Sheikh Abdul Qadir as Sufi's instructions to his followers in Europe that there is a value in reading the classic European literature, furthermore Abdessamad Clarke has himself written a commentary on the certain parts of the ancient Celtic literature.
