Usuli Institute Khutbah: "The Prophet's Pulpit and French Islamophobia," 16 October 2020

Dr. Khaled Abou El Fadl delivers the Friday khutbah and jumu'a prayer at The Usuli Institute (www.usuli.org). He discusses the weighty responsibility of taking the Prophet's pulpit - literally every pulpit from which any Friday khutbah is delivered around the world - and the qualifications required of those who take the pulpit. He discusses the recent Islamophobic developments in France driven by its president, bolstered by the silence of Muslim leadership.
