Muslims improving place in U.S.: cleric says

Muslims are steadily improving their position in U.S. society, contrary to the media image of a community besieged by suspicions of links to militants, a leading U.S. Muslim cleric said on Sunday.

...

Hendi also told his Saudi audience that he did not believe in judging Muslims and non-Muslims over practices such as wearing the hijab head cover or praying five times a day.

...

"I deal with a woman whether she wears a hijab or not, that's my position. Maybe some of you will disagree," he said.

...

"There is no need for labels -- 'you're an infidel, Muslim, Islamist, you'll go to heaven'. I deal with citizens whoever they are and God is the judge."


Makes sense!
