Listening to Yasin speak it is obvious that he has great yearning is to be the Caliph of the “United States of Islam” the ultimate goal of his system of Islamic community building. His love of preeminence was evident when he said, “I am not going to take for granted that a Muslim immigrant or a Muslim who is from the inner city that they understand that we should see ourselves as the greater global community” – inferring that he was in the position to grasp such a global vision. .... Topics that came up during the program were quite different than in the interview. No amount of speedwriting could keep up with rhetoric like “Islam has never destroyed anyone’s culture except those that are subversive to the order of God.”
Or this apparent anti-immigrant comment directed towards the immigrant Muslims in the audience: “If any immigrant Muslim thinks you have a right to be a leader in my country – you are a conspirator.”
