Today's Reuters Inteview with Hamza Yusuf Hanson

I just learned about this:
US Muslim scholar says Iran attack would be insane
By Talal Malik
Reuters - 14 Feb 2006 16:46:15 GMT
Excerpt: "Yusuf said the dispute over cartoons of Prophet Mohammad published in European newspapers, which sparked violent protests, had degenerated into a brawl and said both Muslims and free speech supporters had been insensitive...'Criticise Islam all you want - but don't denigrate sacred symbols and sacred beliefs,' he said, adding that the response of some Muslim protesters had been no better...'Stomping on the Danish flag was no response -- the flag has a religious symbol on it. So, it has just become reduced to a brawl,' he said."

Shaykh Hamza Yusuf is scheduling to appear at the Oxford Union tomorrow evening, and the event is supposed to be covered by CNN and Reuters.

Assalam Alaikum.

How do we get hold of the talk given by Imam Hamza Yusuf? Are tapes available, and from where?

Our contacts in the UK have not provided us the masters for us to edit and produce. Once we get the files, we will evaluate the feasibility of releasing this lecture.
