Gotta give you props for that.Haven't you ever heard one song by a new artist, or on a new album, and gotten really excited and started telling everyone about it, and then you realized soon after that your celebration was pre-mature?I remember I did something like this with Snoop's "Game Is To Be Sold" record off No Limit in 98. I had been anticipating the record for so long, when I heard the first track I thought it was a classic, and then later I finished listening to the album and realized it was trash.
What song was it? Just because I point out your hypocrisy some times doesn't I'm always trying to egg you on. I just wanted to know what song you heard that made you like him so much.And what songs you heard that later caused you to dislike him.
Like Tanjit said, the Muslim leader you were talking to was not saying something contradictory. Islam is a monotheistic religion, there is no Pope figure in Islam (who can forgive sins), there are no statues (to use as intercessor to Allah), there is no worship of a human figure (such as Christians worshipping Jesus). Your prayers, your worship, everything is all directed towards Allah. Everything is done for the purpose of pleasing Allah. And the social awareness that unification of hearts that one recieves in congregational prayer, is pleasing to Allah.Social awareness is coming out of self-interest, to be self-less. To be aware of your role and responsibility towards others, and how this is essential towards your spiritual advancement.
This life is temporary and every day (Allah) decorates parts of the Earth and destroys others. Everything is coming and going, so man can never conquer his environment and satisfy all his needs. The selfish person will always be empty inside chasing after this world. But the one who (chases after Allah, and) does righteous deeds, will be in a state of harmony and submission (to Allah).

I still think he's alright.
