I agree with your post, but on one thing I would like to 'pick a bone' with you. what has his being 'white' got to do with anything brother? There is nothing strange about a scholar being white. There have been dozens of notable white scholars of Islam in history. Be careful not to use words that carelessly insult the Caucasian Muslims, be they from Muslim families or from non-Muslim families. Colour has got nothing to do with anything.
