After giving at talk at Abu Huraira Center a week ago, Sh Abdul Qadir from Kenya gave a talk on the Mother and her rights. When he began his talk, one of the activist brothers was very upset and said to me, "How can he talk about the mother at this time? When our Muslim brothers are being bombarded by French planes in Northern Mali!!! He should be telling the people about that! Rather than talking about something everybody already knows about like the mother's rights!!." I replied, "Did you see the number of youth in the Masjid, brother? They are around 70%!! Do you know what is the biggest problem facing Muslims here in Toronto and North America? It is rebellion of the youth against their mothers. Disrespect of their mothers, disobedience to their mothers, abuse of their mothers!!! What the Shaikh is speaking about is exactly what they need to hear. Talking to them about French bombing of Muslim forces in Northern Mali would mean virtually nothing to them. And what could they do, even if they knew?" The brother then said, sheepishly, "I'm sorry brother, I didn't look at it that way." We really need to prioritize properly and stay relevant in our approach.
