Sheilh Hamza Yusuf, who converted to Islam almost thiryyear ago and being considered a “moderate (read apologetic) Muslim”, who advised President Bush after theSeptember 11, 2001 tragedy and whose steady condemnation of Islamic terrorism has earned him, in some Muslim circles, criticism as a US propagandist, was harassed by the US Custom officials on his return from Toronto after attending a three-day conference last month. Along with him at least 38 other US citizens who attended the "Reviving the Islamic Spirit" conference were held up to six hours at bridges crossing the US-Canada border, according to Homeland Security officials and civil rights activists.
