The Street Mimbar aims to supplement the general Khutbahs until there is an unbiased, non-sectarian, balanced approach adopted by the manabir. Although this Ummah is a literate 1, it is ironically a majority non-reading 1, despite the 1st command from Allah: "Read". So when it comes to Islamic Education this Ummah is totally dependant on the sometimes-questionable education of some Scholars. This is also pathetic since the Prophet (S) said "Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave". Criticism and suggestions are invited from all as to whether such Khutbahs are needed or not. In the words of 1 of the Successors to Allahs Prophet "If I'm correct support me, if I mistake, council me. To speak the truth to a leader is allegiance to conceal the mistakes is treason." We will mature when we realise that we have dhalims who cloak themselves in Islam & whether we are Sunni or Shi'i, (we hate using these labels, but have to make a point here) it is incumbent on us even if we are Shi'is to expose a Shi'i dhalim & even if we are sunnis to expose a Sunni dhalim.

Many of the khutbahs are broadly worded but it is of utmost importance that state criticism is not extended to individuals who have nothing to do with their governments until such time they become supporting constituents of their governments.

Lastly, in trying to satisfy Allah & create a better tomorrow we sometimes find ourselves in an Islamic opposition to Islamic governance. To some people this may sound odd- how can you have Islamic opposition to Islamic governance?! Simply put, Islamic governance is not perfect because it is run by individuals who are capable of erring & therefore Islamic opposition is the identification of these mistakes & the attempt at correcting them. We have to mature to understand that we can have legitimate well founded & established Islamic & political opposition to a legitimate Islamic government.
