Well said :) Who is afraid of Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips? Scheduled to speak before Muslim professionals in Zamboanga City, the organizers decided to cancel his visit and lecture after LGU officials expressed alarm on the possible topics of his lecture, news having spread that he lectures on jihad and has been banned in some western countries. Bilal Philips, however, is a scholar of Islam who has talked about a lot more positive aspects of Islam than the West would acknowledge. My take on this is, if we are really a nation that respects the constitutional rights of people to free speech, assembly and exercise of religion, shouldnt we avoid exercising prior restraint on an act that has not happened yet? - Mehol K.
