Moosaa Richardson warns us of the fraudulent replacements for Islam's scholars, those who say we need Western scholars and we can no longer "outsource" our fatwas overseas! The ambition of various entertainers, storytellers, and pretenders to knowledge is exposed, along with their ambition to take the place of the scholars in the lives of the Muslims.

A very timely example of their detrimental interference in Islamic rulings is provided: adopting Western politics and embracing their democratic systems, something encouraged as absolutely necessary by the fraudulent, but forbidden by the real scholars of Islam.
