what a load of clap trap 'everything is interpretation' there are many ayat that are clear cut meaning and definite text. He uses this principle allow him to manouvre and a deviate from the core prinicples in Islam.

Secondly, his primary definition for jihad being against the nafs not only goes against clear cut text but is also based on a fabricated hadith. Jihad does not mean violence against innocent civillians, however the actions of some palestininas defending their homelands and attacking those who have taken their land are allowed to fight in Islam. Tariq uses farbicated or weak over strong and clear evidences all the time, he is able to do this because of his 'everything is interpretation' principle.

His principles have been destroyedc in this recent talk on 'reformation' that i found, given by Br. Kamal Abu Zahra.
