i don't see Dr Naik as a person to "diffuse situations." on the other hand, King is so full of sh*t that ANY dialogue with him seems useless. i also see many, not all, of the evangelicals here are as full of crap as King.
as for a grass movement? a good idea would be for Muslims to practice Islam instead of the assibiyyah and jahilliyah that is usually front and center.
as for ideas for prominent Muslims that would be ideal for interacting with the mass media:
the Mufti from Zimbabwe , Ismail ibn Musa Menk would top
MY list as an ideal spokesperson.
other candidates, in my opinion:
Dr Bilal Philips, along with Menk, would be a top choice. a notch below would be Dr Bashar Shala and
maybe Kammal El Mekki.
i'm tending to agree more and more with Br Yusuf Estes in that "debate" is futile, especially when "Christian Crusaders" aren't listening anyway and are so brainwashed with "lies of Christianity" that it serves little purpose. [not that these punks can't use a good slap down]
presenting Islam at it's best is a better value and Mufti Menk shines in this area. and mentioning Br Estes, he continues to advance as a English speaking rep.
if people treat us like we suck, it's cuz we do...
not as much as those evangelicals though...
