00:00:00 --> 00:00:02

			You and me, we have an advantage and

00:00:02 --> 00:00:04

			a gift that we are not grateful enough

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05

			for. As Americans,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

			it is ingrained in our head from birth,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:08

			all the books that we read, all the

00:00:08 --> 00:00:10

			movies that we watch, fiction, nonfiction, it's always

00:00:10 --> 00:00:13

			the same. You deserve freedom. It's your god

00:00:13 --> 00:00:14

			given right. You better fight for it. If

00:00:14 --> 00:00:16

			you don't fight for it, they'll bring the

00:00:16 --> 00:00:17

			hammer down harder. This is a message that's

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

			ingrained in every American's spirit all their life.

00:00:19 --> 00:00:21

			True or false? Don't be naive and think

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

			that the whole world is taught the same

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

			thing. Your cousins in your ethnic homeland and

00:00:25 --> 00:00:26

			many others, no, they're subjugated from birth.

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

			Just be quiet. Don't make too much noise

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

			because we can't afford to get in trouble.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:30

			I'm not trying to blame them or accuse

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

			them or put them down, stuff a lot.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

			You know? They have it tough. But they've

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

			been in such a tough situation their whole

00:00:34 --> 00:00:35

			life. They have to protect their kids by

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

			telling them that. Because they've seen people get

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

			their heads chopped off wholesale, 50,000 people thrown

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

			in jail. We have the luxury and the

00:00:40 --> 00:00:40

			nah,

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

			of security and safety and the freedom of

00:00:42 --> 00:00:45

			speech. So thank Allah for your blessings and

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

			be grateful because even the the heart that

00:00:47 --> 00:00:48

			you have, the willingness that you have, that's

00:00:48 --> 00:00:50

			a gift from Allah too. You didn't get

00:00:50 --> 00:00:51

			a choice of where to be born. Right?

00:00:51 --> 00:00:53

			Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
