One of the leading Sunni Muslim scholars in the western world - Shaykh Hamza Yusuf from the US - explains the crisis of ISIS in a Friday sermon. Worth a watch for those interested in the orthodox scholarly position on the militant group! Here are snippets from his talk: These people have nothing to do with Islam. These are not notables, they have no learning, theres no scholars amongst them. Insignificant people. These people dont know what to do, all they do is kill. These people are fighting for political power, fighting for dominion...attracting the young ignoramuses...madness..plete insanity. They have nothing to do with the man [Prophet Muhammad] who was sent as a mercy to all the world. The fact that in any way, shape or form they are associated with this religion is a great tragedy.
