Shaykh Hamza Yusuf on The Ahmadiyya Qadiani
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LheIp...ayer_embedded#!

He differentiates between the 2 types of Ahmadis/Qadianis which is something I have not heard of before. Also he mentions Mawlana Muhammad Ali and if my memory serves me correctly he did the first research and refutation of Christianity, and Ahmed Deedat and Zakir Naik rely heavily on his work, though they don't mention him because he is associated with Qadianis...

Sheikh Hamza Yusuf is not endorsing the Lahore Ahmadis, but he is differentiating between them and the Qadianis. Quite a few notable Muslim figures such as Muhammad Pickthall, Maulana Abdul Majid Daryabadi, Muhammad Iqbal, Maulana Mawdudi and Dr Israr Ahmad consider Lahore Ahmadis (not Qadianis) to be Muslims of a sort.

As for Sheikh Hamza Yusuf's saying that Maulana Muhammad Ali was a substantive scholar (although explaining that he was an innovator whose books should best be avoided). it is probably based upon things such as the following,
