The speakers discuss the use of the United Front methodology and the "stedler" approach to achieving Islam in one's country. They stress the importance of unity for establishing Islam and the use of "risality" in promoting "arson" and "moneted media" to motivate people to take action. The speakers emphasize the need to learn from past experiences and acknowledge that history is a reflection of one's own culture.

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			Along the
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			jungle,
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15
			Ashley, is what revenue amount?
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			Unfortunately,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:24
			his family's not well delayed getting here.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			I was informed about
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			everything you were
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			needed the apps and so on.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38
			So, to be very honest, I have not very prepared
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:45
			very much to add to the topic, except that
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:55
			there are two issues which I had wanted to deal with in the presentation which we gave on deviation
lines,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:01
			which are directly related to this topic, and above which I will
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:09
			I
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:15
			call the communistic approach to Islamic movement.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:18
			communistic why, because
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20
			I've learned
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
			after I lost Christianity, I became a communist
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:33
			and worked to the Communist Party in America and Canada for almost four years.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			And the methodology,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41
			which they taught,
		
00:01:42 --> 00:01:44
			and which they apply,
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:51
			in the course of their revolutionary movements in Russia and China,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:52
			Cuba,
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
			high power after becoming a Muslim,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			that these methods, especially in more recent times,
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06
			have also been adopted
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			by
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11
			some of the modern exotic movement
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			seeking to
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:21
			effectively establish Islam in their country
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:26
			utilizing the methods
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:29
			and, in fact,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:31
			these methods
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:38
			to the establishment of Islam,
		
00:02:40 --> 00:02:44
			which go against the way of the
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			euro
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:56
			which
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			shows us
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			that the building of the foundation
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:10
			is essential for the establishment of the foundation.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			The foundation with regard to
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:17
			our feeder
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:20
			correct beliefs
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:23
			were given 30 years
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:28
			before Allah gave permission
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			to
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:37
			set about the actual construction of
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			a couple of
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:50
			super trusses and to be engaged in often conflicts with those forces that sought to destroy.
		
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59
			That Foundation was 13 years
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:03
			ago, which came after was only
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:06
			eight years.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15
			If we look at the methodology used
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			by some groups,
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:24
			which I call the United Front methodology, where
		
00:04:26 --> 00:04:30
			it is an issue of unity for the sake of unity.
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:38
			We are strong when we're all together, and we are weak when we are separated, divide and conquer
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47
			which makes sense in certain contexts.
		
00:04:48 --> 00:04:48
			However,
		
00:04:50 --> 00:04:53
			when we're talking about establishing
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:55
			Islam
		
00:04:58 --> 00:04:59
			we can unite
		
00:05:01 --> 00:05:02
			Everybody,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:07
			regardless on what may consider Islam, so,
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:14
			there has to be a clear cut program
		
00:05:15 --> 00:05:17
			of really basic things.
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:30
			The basic concepts which are shared by Muslims across the world, those foundational concepts,
		
00:05:31 --> 00:05:33
			we can help people who disagree on these.
		
00:05:36 --> 00:05:45
			We cannot unite, for example, a people who declare the map of the harbor to be apart.
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:51
			We cannot unite with people
		
00:05:52 --> 00:05:58
			who believe that we should only pray to Allah to intermediary
		
00:06:02 --> 00:06:04
			in approach to Islam,
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:12
			we can only united with those who are very clear on who Allah is.
		
00:06:17 --> 00:06:19
			Man's relationship with Allah
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:24
			is
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:31
			that each and every person has to be 100%.
		
00:06:33 --> 00:06:40
			Or in agreement about all of the finer points around the foundation.
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:48
			That is, we have an inquisition board. Half the people have already accepted our basic
		
00:06:49 --> 00:06:55
			questions, question about certain finer points. You know, for example, where is a lot?
		
00:06:57 --> 00:06:59
			You know, somebody says a lie is everywhere.
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			And are they Well, not a lot is above
		
00:07:07 --> 00:07:09
			the final, somebody who doesn't live everywhere, doesn't mean
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:14
			you did everything else. But you are that alive everywhere.
		
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17
			This doesn't mean that
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20
			you should be doing it by yourself.
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:30
			Because when you're going to understand what does it mean, when it says allies everywhere, you find
that the vast majority of people
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:34
			they mean that a lot is everything.
		
00:07:35 --> 00:08:04
			That is power is everywhere, but not that a lot. It is everything and everywhere. I mean, it's a
different person, first of all of that, like in the hobby, you know that everything is along the
lines everything okay that type of person, okay, we have to draw a line here, but is the person and
his concept or her concept applies everywhere, meaning that a lot of power and control is,
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:14
			is within and without everything, nothing Escape is knowledge is power and control seems to happen.
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:23
			So we should be very clear eyed what points that division has to take place. But if
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:28
			we unite, just because we say we're Muslims,
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:35
			then we end up with a situation like we found in a world
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			where she is
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			Sophie's
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:53
			a harsh, harsh, you know, Warlord, you know, all kinds of individuals were all thrown together to
deal with a common enemy.
		
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58
			How however, right the combination was dealt with,
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:03
			then made sure that upon each other.
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:08
			And that's what's been going on trying to dig in and
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:13
			struggle Muslims, killing other Muslims
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:21
			for an extended period of time with no hope or solution in the immediate future.
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			Because the basic concepts
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:29
			were unclear.
		
00:09:31 --> 00:09:37
			And they United for the sake of friends, that is immunity.
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:44
			That approach in contradiction to the prophetic approach
		
00:09:45 --> 00:09:52
			did not compromise with the pagans of Mecca, with any segments amongst the Vegas of Mecca.
		
00:09:59 --> 00:09:59
			theology
		
00:10:02 --> 00:10:02
			was
		
00:10:04 --> 00:10:08
			a must. For all those who sought to follow the problem,
		
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10
			he made no compromise.
		
00:10:15 --> 00:10:17
			The second deviation that
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:26
			I have observed the banquet under the communistic approach is the coup d'etat approach to
		
00:10:27 --> 00:10:30
			Islamic Revolution or climate change.
		
00:10:32 --> 00:10:35
			That is establishment of Islamic government,
		
00:10:36 --> 00:10:37
			by force upon
		
00:10:42 --> 00:10:43
			without
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:48
			laying again, the proper foundation amongst the masses of the people.
		
00:10:54 --> 00:11:00
			This approach is exemplified today by the Jihad movements in Egypt. And those
		
00:11:03 --> 00:11:06
			are the groups that have run off from the si es and Algeria,
		
00:11:07 --> 00:11:15
			and also the Islamic group in Trinidad that attempted to take power there,
		
00:11:17 --> 00:11:20
			years back, all of them carry the same
		
00:11:21 --> 00:11:22
			concept.
		
00:11:25 --> 00:11:26
			Now,
		
00:11:27 --> 00:11:29
			the kilo
		
00:11:30 --> 00:11:36
			earlier, had begun this program of terrorism,
		
00:11:37 --> 00:11:41
			which became identified as Islamic terrorism.
		
00:11:43 --> 00:11:46
			We're bombs are put on airplanes and healing these
		
00:11:47 --> 00:11:50
			airline encounters in buses,
		
00:11:51 --> 00:11:51
			boats,
		
00:11:53 --> 00:11:57
			this approach to get the attention of the world
		
00:11:59 --> 00:12:07
			to draw the world's attention, people, innocent people who are not involved in the summer or
whatever were massacres.
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:16
			Now, what we find in this coup d'etat approach in the movement within the PLO,
		
00:12:18 --> 00:12:25
			is more outlets in the sense that it's yellow from its inception was not really Islamic
		
00:12:26 --> 00:12:30
			men, they're a hodgepodge example in and of themselves,
		
00:12:31 --> 00:12:37
			United Front, which goes beyond even malaria, including communists and Christians and
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			real harsh flash.
		
00:12:41 --> 00:12:47
			So that left is a much more often utilized entity.
		
00:12:48 --> 00:12:48
			Now,
		
00:12:50 --> 00:12:55
			more reasons, those that have sprung up like jihad in Egypt, that Empire
		
00:12:58 --> 00:13:02
			is one of creating economic
		
00:13:04 --> 00:13:33
			economists in creating revolution, they saw in order to politicize the the masses of the people, the
lumpen proletariat, who are ignorant, you know, they really weren't aware of the dynamics of what
was going on in the country, the capitalistic systems and how they're being exploited, etc. The way
for them to be realized was to sabotage the country's economic and
		
00:13:34 --> 00:13:37
			create a state a police say, you know, where the
		
00:13:39 --> 00:13:52
			country moves on the masses of the people very harshly. And this will cause them to turn away from
the government look at the government of the entity and then be open to be to receive the teachings
of the communists.
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:56
			Now, what we find is that
		
00:13:58 --> 00:14:03
			none of these movies are using the same methodology to try to promote islamic
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:05
			jihad.
		
00:14:08 --> 00:14:15
			They try to bring predominate of Egypt, Egypt with me economically, by attacking what is the key
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:21
			figure in economics tourism. So we had a half the tourists
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:34
			bombed in a machine gun, a button, you know, massacre, the tourists drive the shorts away, so they
will come in the country and help to bring the country to its knees. And when
		
00:14:35 --> 00:14:35
			he
		
00:14:37 --> 00:14:42
			also resigned, for example, in Algeria, the foreign workers or
		
00:14:43 --> 00:14:57
			people were from Philippines, from France, or wherever, for he in the country and their governmental
projects. These people are shut down, simply because they're fine. And then the fund is all fine and
the soldiers get out of the country. Otherwise
		
00:14:59 --> 00:15:00
			why are they talking about
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			So that the economic situation the country would worsen in both cases, in which case,
		
00:15:07 --> 00:15:11
			he would lose confidence in the government, and then turn to
		
00:15:13 --> 00:15:17
			Islamic quote unquote, movements for silence.
		
00:15:21 --> 00:15:21
			However,
		
00:15:24 --> 00:15:27
			this approach is not in keeping with the prospective model,
		
00:15:28 --> 00:15:42
			it is a shortcut, and attempt to, to get to evolution without taking the necessary steps for
planning, change, instead of educating the masses of people
		
00:15:44 --> 00:15:50
			in a circumstance where one has relative freedoms, who come to educate, and
		
00:15:51 --> 00:16:13
			they create a state of recession, which then forces people to be on the ground, very little Islamic
education to now take place. Common people simply because they have beards or whatever their attack,
some of the common people under attack that causes them to raise question marks on the government.
However,
		
00:16:15 --> 00:16:23
			many of the common people, many more of the common people, when they see a policeman shot, this
policeman is one that
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:46
			is a good guy, he has a wife and so many children, he got involved in any kind of, you know,
oppressive actions towards them and proxies defending their and protecting them from criminal
activities in their area, whatever. And then somebody arrives by and loads them away, simply because
he has a uniform on the policeman,
		
00:16:47 --> 00:16:56
			the maximum the people in the village cannot be drawn towards that she has not be drawn towards a
struggle, girl be turned away from that struggle, because they can only see the hero.
		
00:16:58 --> 00:16:59
			And surely,
		
00:17:00 --> 00:17:01
			because
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:03
			these rules
		
00:17:04 --> 00:17:10
			are quite clearly laid out in Islamic Sharia
		
00:17:14 --> 00:17:24
			which, for those involved in Spanish struggle to take the lives of innocent women, children and old
people.
		
00:17:28 --> 00:17:29
			So,
		
00:17:30 --> 00:17:43
			they have neglected the responsibility of educating the masses of people and infiltrating the
various organs of government
		
00:17:44 --> 00:17:51
			with the chronically conscious individual, so that when the time comes to change, that leadership,
		
00:17:52 --> 00:17:57
			the leadership cannot call upon the military
		
00:17:58 --> 00:18:03
			to attack the masses of people, because they will not find that support.
		
00:18:04 --> 00:18:11
			And in this way, shame takes place without a right to bloodshed.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:15
			So,
		
00:18:16 --> 00:18:21
			these two approaches are the two that I wanted to just mention to you briefly.
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:26
			As a warning for those who consider them,
		
00:18:27 --> 00:18:30
			we should learn from those sides that
		
00:18:33 --> 00:18:34
			recognize the failure
		
00:18:36 --> 00:18:43
			and at the same time know that it is fundamentally wrong, because it is not in keeping with the
methodology of profit.
		
00:18:48 --> 00:18:50
			And at the same time,
		
00:18:51 --> 00:18:56
			know that there are no shortcuts to change.
		
00:18:58 --> 00:19:18
			There are no shortcuts to climate change. The ways with climate change is in accordance with the
methodology the proper Foundation has to be made. The people have to be educated, when enough people
are Muslims in in in Medina that
		
00:19:20 --> 00:19:21
			there is no problem
		
00:19:24 --> 00:19:27
			because he had a sound base amongst
		
00:19:28 --> 00:19:32
			the Jews, even though the shoes are the ones who founded Medina,
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:37
			Medina and the other
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:46
			side that that joined and measures out in 100 lonely remotely havens and they would have accepted
the leadership of the Jews
		
00:19:48 --> 00:19:50
			among them, then the Jews had
		
00:19:52 --> 00:19:59
			no more support problems that could be installed as the leaders and everybody else had to submit.
There was no physical suffering.
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:04
			But it didn't mean that before the anti Islamic person died out.
		
00:20:06 --> 00:20:13
			It was considered a subtle but it would not be an open struggle would not be, you know, massive
bloodshed taking place in the community.
		
00:20:14 --> 00:20:17
			So, we need to learn from this era.
		
00:20:21 --> 00:20:22
			Understand that this era,
		
00:20:23 --> 00:20:38
			maybe history, historical facts that we learn and we recite to our children as a storage, no, you
know, facts on our culture. Know that history that
		
00:20:40 --> 00:20:41
			way.
		
00:20:43 --> 00:20:44
			The only way
