The same accusation could be levelled at a number of scholars who have changed styles in talk etc within the last 10 years. dont know why Shaykh Hamza comes in for more criticism. Naming names is not the point so I wont but a number of scholars having links with the Indian subcontinent have changed.........yet we don't level the same accusations at them.

oh no, what we say is mashallah, the guy is using hikmah, yet for shaykh hamza.......

The reason about Shaykh Hamza Yusuf being more of a target is because of his popularity. Still, it should not discredit the fact that he has been saying and promoting some things that are controversial and sometimes contrary to widely held opinions.

@brother tommyharacho:

There isn't a necessity to show a point by point refutation of Shaykh Hamza Yusuf since it invariably leads to arguments and closure of threads. Know that he has his supporters and his detractors and both have valid points.
