Introduction
Hussain Yee or Hussein Yee (born 1950) is a Malaysian Islamic scholar and preacher.
Background
Early years
Born into a Buddhist family, Hussain Yee embraced Islam at the age of 18. Yee studied under the Salafi writer Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani.
Positions held
In 2015, he gave a keynote address at the Australian Islamic Peace Conference (AIPC), which was attended by religious leaders from Jewish and Christian faiths.
Controversy and response
Yee has said that Muslims should not say Muslim terrorists were not responsible for the September 11 attacks on the United States, just based on "suspicion".
Hussain Ye later responded to the accusations and denied ever saying that “Jews were behind 9/11 attack", and accused The Australian's of "inept journalism".
