Harmony and Dissention

I was reading some comments about Hamza Yusuf Hanson on the Internet and found a number of dissenting views regarding his Islamic faith. Some find him very inclusive and other find him a heretic. Some attack him from outside the faith as being too radical and others attack him from within the faith as not belonging to Islam at all. More later....
While surfing into the Zaytuna website, I linked to another site.
An interesting website, The Common Word, printed the following statement regarding Muslims throughout the world agreeing on certain principles in a letter responding to the Pope. Muslim scholars from every branch of Islam signed on to this response.
"Not only can A Common Word Between Us give them a starting point for cooperation and worldwide co-ordination, but it does so on the most solid theological ground possible: the teachings of the Qu’ran and the Prophet r, and the commandments described by Jesus Christ u in the Bible. Thus despite their differences, Islam and Christianity not only share the same Divine Origin and the same Abrahamic heritage, but the same two greatest commandments."
