Glad yawl found the sermon illuminating and useful. Shaykh Hamza is true scholar not only of impeccable credentials, but also a man filled with love in his heart. In the years I've known him, of him, and his work, I've never seen him espouse sectarianism, be arrogant, or assume GOD's judgment in any way, shape, or form. He looks for common ground and celebrates diversity, and "understanding" the other POV from their perspective is far more important to him than forging an "agreement." He doesn't coerce people who listen to him. May GOD continue to grace him with His blessings.
Here's a lecture from him, more food for thought.
