The most lacking aspect of the Muslim space here is deep Islamic fundamental knowledge. We can ridicule these ignorant fatwas all we want, but I don't think anyone here has the ability to do Sheikh Assim's job. We need to spend time genuinely learning the ilm of hadith, fiqh and tafsir etc. We need to form decentralized institutions of study for these fields that can raise scholars that rival the oil funded Sheikhs giving fatwas for the governments that pay them. The ummah can't thrive without it.
