Quotes Made at this Event

Against Method: "Yet, I never heard anyone talking about, "Should we torture Russian spies, if we capture them, to find out what they were doing. Should we have a Guantanamo Bay for Russian spies". I never heard that; It just wasn't part of America at that time. It's why, for me, to be in this country, and to hear people talking about: "The Torture Question" When did it become a QUESTION? Because I thought it was a medieval concept that we've thrown off. I thought human dignity, no matter what a person did, they were entitled to be protected in their body. That's what I thought this country was about. So what went wrong here? "
Shaikh Hamza Yusuf
Against Method: "I don’t recommend this book, it’s too radical. But I read it "
Shaikh Hamza Yusuf
Against Method: "He stated that the scientific method is useless and all discoveries come from intuition. "
