"Who speaks for Islam?" has become the ultimate question to ask in the post 9/11 world. Some ask it without really looking for fresh critical voices or invite them but give them 3 or 4 minutes in between commercial breaks to explain the crisis of religious authority in Islam. Others, like here on Link TV, genuinely seek to understand how that authority is legitimated today in the Muslim world. Ray Suarez, one of the smartest journalists in this country, invited a number of people you don't always hear or read about in the mainstream media. People like Sheikh Hamza Yusuf from the Zaytuna Institute in California, Hatem Bazian, an Islam legal expert, Aminah McCloud, religious studies professor at DePaul University, Souheila Al-Jadda, an American journalist, and Michael Scheuer, a CIA analyst who has been very critical of the superficial perception the West holds of the Muslim world. The point here is not whether you agree or disagree with these voices, but that a tv station, no matter how small its audience is, is willing to devote one hour to debate intelligently the most critical issue facing the world today. Journalists have a crucial role to play in separating the chaff from the wheat when it comes to what Muslims believe and what Islam is and isn't, and as Suarez says at the end of this broadcast, "We can't fix it until we understand it."  Some topics on which the safety of the world rests just cannot be treated transiently and superficially.
