DNC Benediction by Imam Yahya Hendi.He works at Georgetown, "the first American university to hire a full-time Muslim chaplain. He earned a B.A. degree in Islamic Law and Theology from the University of Jordan, Amman, Jordan. He's a Ph.D. Candidate in Islamic Theology at American Open University, Fall Church, VA." http://www.usembassy.at/en/embassy/photo/hendi_bio.htm

This site has the curriculum from the summer of 2000 as taught in Fresno, CA.

Some of the lessons they teach;
Secularism is Shirk in the Lordship of Allah.This one was what they were teaching, one year before September 11
http://www.java-man.com/Pages/Tauhid/tauhid971214.html
The high spots of the lesson (tauhid or tawhid is the unity of Allah; mushrik and shirk are Islamic terms for polytheism, a grave sin for Muslims - Christians are considered shirk because they "attribute partners to God" through the divinity of Christ and the Trinity; shirk equals unbelief and infidelism; emphasis in bold added):
Whoever calls the people (and/or himself) to the following and obedience of another law other than the shari’a is a disbeliever and a mushrik.
The scholars of Usool-ul-Fiqh have all agreed on the axiom that “None has the right to legislate but Allah.� Don’t be fooled by their discussion of whether the intellect can arrive independently at the ruling in an issue. What they are talking about is the intellect - through training and other knowledge of the shari’a and its sources and ways - DISCOVERING or “uncovering� the eternal ruling of Allah in an issue, NOT legislating independently of Allah Most High.
Clearly secularism - which includes the rejection of the primacy of the shari’a as the ultimate source of law and which claims the right to leglislate independently of Allah general legislation which define obligation, prohibition, choice or relational rulings at odds with the order of Allah and His Prophet (sas) - is a rejection of the Lordship and the Deityship of Allah Most High. It is one of the actions of shirk akbar (greater polytheism) without doubt. There can be no distinction between the one who questions Allah’s oneness in His creation and the one who questions Allah’s oneness in His order. Both are taghoot, mushrik and in a state of rebellion against the worship of Allah Most High.
The tauhid of Allah in His Lordship is not complete with the mere acceptance of his creation and his decree. Rather, it must also include His oneness in legislating, judgeing and commanding and the acceptance of the guidance and laws brought from Him by Muhammad (sas). Detracting from Allah’s oneness in legislation is no different from detracting from His oneness in creation and omnipotence. The One who commanded us to accept His decree and omnipotence in all things is the same one who commanded us to refer and defer to His shari’a in all legal matters. He is the One who said: There is no sovereignty except Allah’s. He commands you not to worship any but Him. (Yusuf: 40)
Keep this in mind as you watch the Imam’s closing benediction tonight, which will no doubt contain soothing words for the willfully blind.
Do they even care?
