			In the month following Operation Desert Storm,
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:37
			the Saudi Arabian cultural information tent was set up in the middle of the main processing camp for
US soldiers at Khobar Towers in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:48
			The 10 provided cultural information about Saudi Arabia in the form of books and videotape, as well
as Islamic literature for free distribution and sale.
		
00:00:49 --> 00:01:01
			A series of small discussion groups with American military personnel were held during the day. And a
large open discussion group was held every evening, from sunset until midnight.
		
00:01:04 --> 00:01:12
			Many Saudi military personnel and civilians as well as American civilians, and some US military
Muslim,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:17
			shared in the discussion and in the dissemination of information.
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:38
			By the time the emerging truths were completely processed out of the country, over 3000, American
male and female black and white military personnel had accepted from the following case was made
during one of the evenness, discussions in May of 91.
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:50
			Salaam, Mohammed, the Latin from Manhattan was the whole and I belong to the guest speaker. The
questions were asked by American military personnel
		
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55
			who took part in the Desert Shield, Desert Storm operation,
		
00:01:57 --> 00:01:59
			the virgin birth of Jesus Christ,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			I would just like to say this,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:11
			only talk about
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16
			what God can do.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:20
			From an Islamic point of view, we
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			we look at
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:38
			whereby Bob, and his divinity is maintained. And men, as a creation of God is also
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:43
			we do not believe that God become men.
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:49
			More than men become the divine, knowing that God has a son,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:53
			which is the way of men,
		
00:02:54 --> 00:03:33
			that the attributes of God are unique to himself. He doesn't share these attributes with his
creation. So when we read in the New Testament, of Jesus being the son of God, we look at it in the
same context in which Adam is referred to as the Son of God, David is referred to as only the Goblin
Son of God. And this these references the Son of God, throughout the Old Testament, indicating a
closeness to God as opposed to being an actual, physical product. So, we maintain a monotheism which
is unique
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:42
			in that, God is God and man is totally in the way of creation.
		
00:03:43 --> 00:04:00
			We cannot understand how God created because that is a function of God's creation. How God says be a
thing is when nothing was when he create things we created from things.
		
00:04:01 --> 00:04:44
			We make a car from iron, which was melted from, you know, rocks and things existed before we really
make life, you'd like to say we made life in the 50s, we're actually producing life probably don't
take that matter and introduce that we're not able to create that is something unique to God, which
is beyond our comprehension. Because when you really understand that essence, then you are able to
manipulate that thing to become residency. When we understand how a tree functions, how it grows,
the principles that are involved, we're now able to manipulate the tree, make it grow in directions
that we wouldn't be able to see the type of food that it produces and all these patterns and
		
00:04:44 --> 00:04:51
			understood that whereas in the case of God, there is no understanding the essence of God, and how he
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			literally accepted in that sense that God created Adam from nothing. How
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:01
			Did God alone,
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:25
			God created from Adam without a mother, God alone, no. God created Jesus, from Mary, without a
father, how God alone knows this is his way he creates us, human beings for the father and the
mother. And all that actually takes place the essence of it, we don't know
		
00:05:27 --> 00:05:27
			that
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:38
			well, we don't look at other ways was, was it not professional, in
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:57
			the case of Jesus, how God intervened in the process of the creation, we are saying that it is
normal, especially the case of Jesus, that it was in the case of Jesus, or that it was in the case
of Adam, because Adam, either father nor mother, is the person is ready to fulfill levels of
business.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:38
			Because even biological data, scientists say we should biologically understand how a virgin may give
birth. You know, you have women who are not married, who have never had, who can go to a sperm bank,
get them grown and give birth without ever being right, or having a combination, within the realm of
understanding for how a man may come into existence, without either a father or a mother, even on a
greater level. So we don't look at the creation of Jesus in the sense of him being born without a
father, as being beyond
		
00:06:40 --> 00:06:41
			human
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:53
			to God to solve a sudden need of a human woman in the flesh, or, you know, there's got to be a
reason why
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			his birth was miraculous.
		
00:07:00 --> 00:07:00
			As
		
00:07:02 --> 00:07:11
			miracles were given to the prophecy for to show that they were indeed prophets of God, we believe is
something about Jesus.
		
00:07:12 --> 00:07:18
			I don't know about revision to the five, that Jesus when he was born.
		
00:07:19 --> 00:07:22
			And he came back all the people
		
00:07:23 --> 00:07:29
			because they don't, don't mention of God. He came back to the table.
		
00:07:30 --> 00:07:44
			And they were astounded that he gave birth to a child when she was supposed to be a pious woman. And
she was married to the How could it be? How could you do such a growth and evil things. And
		
00:07:46 --> 00:08:05
			the child of God revealed to her that she is appointed the child, when she pointed to the child,
Jesus spoke as a newborn baby, something was ready to mention in the gospels, something with me as
misaka requires, if you need this is one of the miracles was given to Jesus
		
00:08:06 --> 00:08:09
			in the cradle, as a newborn baby.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:18
			And as I was interested, not in the Bible, but I wouldn't expect it to be true on the back of a
fetus.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			devotion.
		
00:08:21 --> 00:08:23
			To not be honest, I mean,
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:34
			do we accept the virgin birth, and we accept that even in the Christ, we also accept that one of the
miracles of jesus was that he was gathered clean.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:41
			Moses in the shape of reverse flow is always a verse
		
00:08:42 --> 00:08:48
			that I don't I don't ever swear to God that he did many things. Yes. But at the same
		
00:08:50 --> 00:08:52
			time, when it says that
		
00:08:53 --> 00:08:57
			it says that Jesus says it is by the will of God.
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:06
			That God was made it clear that he was
		
00:09:07 --> 00:09:13
			in one accord with the Father. And we believe that was a case of all of the
		
00:09:15 --> 00:09:28
			nation's greatest of all, that we believe that all of the properties are in accordance with the will
of God. But he's the only one that had no sin, and that's what somebody believes.
		
00:09:33 --> 00:09:37
			The point is for us, we believe that Jesus
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:42
			did not die on the earth, you know, as
		
00:09:47 --> 00:09:49
			though we did not believe in a flesh
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:59
			that he was in fact raised up by God. He would come back to the earth. One of the signs of the Nazi
he was right
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:00
			We are
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:14
			married, have children on Earth as a leader of those who submit their will. When I say one of the
signs of the last day in the future, which
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:22
			is one of the things that prophesied by the prophet Muhammad and also prophesied that Jesus,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:36
			Jesus was raised up by grace, with vision, we are not able to define where our suffering, but I
think it will come back down,
		
00:10:37 --> 00:10:41
			live and die on having so close to it, I
		
00:10:44 --> 00:10:49
			believe all that I don't understand why he can't believe in the resurrection,
		
00:10:51 --> 00:10:55
			in the prison, his purpose in coming to understand that so
		
00:10:57 --> 00:11:04
			I think the fundamental difference is that you believe in the need for sacrifice,
		
00:11:10 --> 00:11:45
			and interpretation of sacrifice, and sacrifice in Islam, we as Muslims, are obliged to, or
encouraged to sacrifice on a particular day of principles, and in celebration of Abraham's sacrifice
or willingness to sacrifice. But we don't believe that this is indicative of the need for a divine
sacrifice, you know, to cleanse the mind of this sacrifice was in fact, in the sacrifice of
enjoyment, is it is a is a
		
00:11:46 --> 00:12:29
			is symbolic of their willingness to sacrifice what God has given them, recognizing that it is from
God, for the pleasure of God, because when you sacrifice the animal data was available with the
animal is the body of the animal is given to the poor, we will be given the ability to have an
animal divided animal. And we show our willingness to sacrifice of the wealth of strategies for the
sake of the needy, whose situation is usually the destiny of God. And we recognize that you have a
duty to them because of the significance of sacrifice.
		
00:12:30 --> 00:12:34
			Your customer may not be asked to leave at the end of the
		
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37
			standard on the output of
		
00:12:38 --> 00:12:39
			the clinton
		
00:12:42 --> 00:12:43
			for the wrong
		
00:12:49 --> 00:12:56
			I think the pointer is incredible the scrapping of the blood is a question of interpretation as to
whether it was actually a
		
00:12:59 --> 00:13:01
			sign of sacrifice demand.
		
00:13:09 --> 00:13:13
			sacrifices animals within a sense of the Lord knows that no need
		
00:13:20 --> 00:13:24
			we don't believe in the north becoming higher. This is a human policy
		
00:13:26 --> 00:13:27
			is all around
		
00:13:31 --> 00:13:32
			the homeless
		
00:13:51 --> 00:13:52
			sacrifice
		
00:13:54 --> 00:13:58
			is the only way you can get to heaven. Okay, well, let's say that
		
00:13:59 --> 00:14:02
			the only way to get to the census is sickness.
		
00:14:03 --> 00:14:09
			Let's say not we are not yet to know how to write that one down next.
		
00:14:12 --> 00:14:13
			To have one of these reactors
		
00:14:15 --> 00:14:20
			have a murder like we really do murder lots of other benign was
		
00:14:22 --> 00:14:23
			I guess a one on one
		
00:14:26 --> 00:14:36
			dialogue Okay, we dialogue with each other. We don't murder logically but for men going to fill out
or whatever. Let's start a difficult question How?
		
00:14:50 --> 00:14:51
			I have a question about
		
00:14:52 --> 00:14:59
			religious leaders. They talk about the Vatican where the pope say you have makeup which is your
homegirls
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:06
			Islam and the leaders, the leaders are not there, but they're elsewhere.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:24
			There are no religious leaders per se, the only religious leader, who we recognize as being
infallible in that sense, right because when we, when somebody who is recognized,
		
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26
			infallible,
		
00:15:27 --> 00:15:33
			we the only person we recognize as being accountable in the sense of religion
		
00:15:34 --> 00:15:52
			is the Prophet. And the Prophet, Allah, life of the Prophet, being humble allows you to maximize
your money. So he is the only religious leader in that sense, we are obliged to follow and we don't
have any other people who are all
		
00:15:54 --> 00:15:57
			equal to him, whereas we might want to put them in our
		
00:16:00 --> 00:16:01
			sanctuary of
		
00:16:02 --> 00:16:02
			Mecca.
		
00:16:07 --> 00:16:09
			pointed out people like
		
00:16:10 --> 00:16:11
			the Shiite Muslims.
		
00:16:16 --> 00:16:18
			The title is not a religious leader.
		
00:16:21 --> 00:16:25
			It is a lot of what is on the shelves, and maybe getting into photo details of
		
00:16:27 --> 00:16:27
			the
		
00:16:29 --> 00:16:35
			religion, per se, is considered a deviation from mainstream Islam.
		
00:16:36 --> 00:16:37
			For example,
		
00:16:38 --> 00:16:42
			in Christianity, we would call that Catholicism, earliest church.
		
00:16:45 --> 00:16:48
			ism has been a deviation from mainstream
		
00:16:50 --> 00:17:00
			Christianity, and Protestantism. Look at people like Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Mormon this
deviation from me behave Christianity. Similarly,
		
00:17:02 --> 00:17:49
			mainstream Islam, you know, 80% of the Western world look at gi ism as being a deviation from
mainstream Islam. It proposes concepts about God which are alien to the basic issue that Islam has
it has been handed down and lifted and declined in the tradition of the Prophet confession. And so
naturally, once a deviated in in terms of the actual theology, how they look at God and man, it's
not surprising then that you can find amongst them if we were in the iron coma now becomes somebody
similar to the Pope, where the main thing is not orthodox, as long as you want to call it that there
is no subtitle, which is the idea of the law.
		
00:17:50 --> 00:17:56
			With a higher law, this should be a sign of God.
		
00:18:14 --> 00:18:16
			Just wanted to say one more thing.
		
00:18:19 --> 00:18:22
			It's like he has in the past that not
		
00:18:23 --> 00:18:28
			to say that he committed the alteration. No, we don't believe that it is okay. But he
		
00:18:31 --> 00:18:39
			committed one of the most, you know, one of the worst ones, that's not recorded in the Bible. We
don't accept this. We don't believe that he did.
		
00:18:40 --> 00:18:48
			Okay, we reject it. We look at that as being something written by human beings, which is being
integrated into the messages.
		
00:18:49 --> 00:19:18
			Okay, well, the way I believe, okay, I believe that that did happen. But when you talk to the
adults, that happen, you know, not the ability, but the impact is happening. Okay. It was not all on
his heart, though. You know, it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that you know, getting drunk is
one of the worst things. Okay, like a mica. You know, drunk before and I've heard a lot of people
were they don't remember what they did. But if you read in the Bible, they talk about how God is
setting them up for that.
		
00:19:19 --> 00:19:21
			So that was not as Israel
		
00:19:22 --> 00:19:30
			that was a mistake as you take a mistake. No, that's like a question. Can God build a rock so that
they can listen? You know, I mean, come on.
		
00:19:32 --> 00:19:34
			No. Well,
		
00:19:35 --> 00:19:41
			the point with this is that when you say that he was not
		
00:19:43 --> 00:19:43
			responsible.
		
00:19:45 --> 00:19:47
			You're saying that a person who is wrong.
		
00:19:49 --> 00:19:59
			A crime no matter how he is, maybe he is not responsible, but according to Mosaic Law, according to
Islamic law,
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:31
			DNS is not looked at as an excuse. If you commit a crime, you murder somebody to save our broken. If
you make the mistake of broken, then you are held to account for that crime. Because you're not
unconscious, you are still cautious, you still have a will, you know, your your inhibitions may be
broken down because of what happened, how can produce great value in your vision. So you may be
willing to do things in a state of intoxication, that if you were to
		
00:20:32 --> 00:20:35
			die from doing that, you still have a role
		
00:20:36 --> 00:21:07
			and still can be great. This is why in America, if you are caught in an accident, for drunken
driving the whole way from the line coming down, because they tell you to get those rights, you have
the Will you have the ability to decide not to drive. So therefore when a person is in a state of
when he commits a crime, he is still responsible, he still has his will. So this is why we don't
accept it. Because according to this, the writing of that
		
00:21:09 --> 00:21:10
			it implies that
		
00:21:12 --> 00:21:17
			he willingly in those in *.
		
00:21:18 --> 00:21:21
			And we don't have access that that was he actually,
		
00:21:22 --> 00:21:24
			based on the features of the
		
00:21:27 --> 00:21:32
			West Village. In Atlanta, it's a question of how you can see what
		
00:21:34 --> 00:21:44
			I mentioned the Atlantic. And you know, you mentioned the Christian reputation. If that's what you
feel fine with you feel comfortable with it, that profits will come in?
		
00:21:47 --> 00:21:47
			I
		
00:21:49 --> 00:21:59
			would like a dialogue. We can exchange thoughts and ideas? Not necessarily I'm saying that you
reflect that my ideal. I'm just suggesting to you what is your sanity?
		
00:22:09 --> 00:22:11
			comments, observations?
		
00:22:13 --> 00:22:14
			We do it all.
		
00:22:18 --> 00:22:21
			Again, with 411. I have a question that
		
00:22:22 --> 00:22:29
			hopefully you might separate the Islamic religion from the politics of Saudi Arabia possibly
		
00:22:30 --> 00:22:33
			a little bit, I've read in the plan and understand that the Malaysian
		
00:22:36 --> 00:22:45
			priests and other religious heads that have come into this country, and more than two years in Jenin
		
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49
			services without any worry about
		
00:22:50 --> 00:22:53
			the negative impact from the government.
		
00:22:54 --> 00:23:07
			But I came over here many of the three didn't take across the graph and were there rain is not a
good idea to wear around and things like this we got more of a political problem versus
		
00:23:10 --> 00:23:30
			react to it. Or is that something in the formalism that I just haven't gotten to that I can't spray
and I think this is more a question of people being worried about offending other people's
sensibilities, you know, between the American military and value the American military is a
distraction to avoid problems and
		
00:23:32 --> 00:23:34
			soldiers were coming I don't know there must
		
00:23:36 --> 00:23:47
			be people here zero to avoid suggestibility, but it's lovely to say you can go down the ground
making perfectly allowable for you to walk inside of a month look as you want to see what this
		
00:23:51 --> 00:23:52
			is more or less.
		
00:23:58 --> 00:23:58
			If I may
		
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03
			add myself I personally have taken
		
00:24:05 --> 00:24:09
			maybe 30 guys 30 soldiers in combat
		
00:24:11 --> 00:24:15
			on several occasions during the holy month of
		
00:24:16 --> 00:24:17
			Ramadan.
		
00:24:20 --> 00:24:22
			Muslims, not only myself but
		
00:24:24 --> 00:24:27
			1000s and other nationalities are
		
00:24:29 --> 00:24:36
			in the appropriate matches of the prayers are gorgeous. Especially most of what is at the mercy of
other bits.
		
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39
			And panaprium the base
		
00:24:41 --> 00:24:42

00:24:44 --> 00:24:48
			decided rather and it was it was fantastic. It was gorgeous to me.
		
00:24:51 --> 00:24:58
			Out of the green socks on a rematch, dissolvable factorization and the contract

00:25:48 --> 00:25:49
			Hey, guys
		
00:25:56 --> 00:25:56
			with
		
00:25:57 --> 00:25:58

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09
			to how to say this brother to allow

00:26:20 --> 00:26:23
			a brother who has a loved one such as
		
00:26:32 --> 00:26:39
			and some of the women's more available and some of them more in Asheville and in somewhere where
they're either
		
00:26:41 --> 00:26:42
			in some
		
00:26:43 --> 00:26:48
			government, I want to know why, why the variation is available
		
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52
			person as a Muslim and others aren't or
		
00:26:55 --> 00:26:55
			there are
		
00:26:57 --> 00:27:03
			the requirements for the woman the basic requirements of the covering of everything except for her
face.
		
00:27:04 --> 00:27:23
			And she's also recommended, you know, to cover more as she wishes, right. So you will find women
taking whatever level they prefer. But the the basic, like the bottom line is when you do everything
except for phases.
		
00:27:25 --> 00:27:32
			And in fact, this is something which when you look back in the case of Christianity,
		
00:27:33 --> 00:27:42
			and Judaism, when you see anything that they make of Jesus, and the women who are around Mary
Magdalene, rather whenever
		
00:27:44 --> 00:27:45
			you find them were
		
00:27:46 --> 00:27:47
			covered up.
		
00:27:50 --> 00:28:04
			But I thought this is because the unity of Islam. And Islam is is something which is modified. You
know, when each generation, where did you find, for example, the nuns have, you know, radio
scientists were all habits all covered up.
		
00:28:06 --> 00:28:09
			But I went on and a dress got shorter, you
		
00:28:11 --> 00:28:11
			have a
		
00:28:13 --> 00:28:23
			little slice person, a little thing on their head, and it wasn't like everybody else's religion has
modified itself change with the changing of time.
		
00:28:24 --> 00:28:25
			Not really not the religion of God.
		
00:28:28 --> 00:28:29
			If it was right,
		
00:28:31 --> 00:28:37
			right now, good and evil and that things are relative. This is really a big part of
		
00:28:40 --> 00:28:43
			what we believe to be a decision of God for good or evil. I think
		
00:28:44 --> 00:28:45
			sometimes the greatest
		
00:28:48 --> 00:28:53
			evils of alcohol exist back then.
		
00:28:56 --> 00:28:58
			Race to the back
		
00:29:01 --> 00:29:02
			of a sexuality
		
00:29:04 --> 00:29:07
			by the Bible
		
00:29:08 --> 00:29:10
			was long and sinful.
		
00:29:15 --> 00:29:22
			lambdas modifiers. say well, okay, so there's a lot of potential around today, and you're all
clamoring for the right. Are we gonna make it?
		
00:29:25 --> 00:29:27
			Because we have to give some consideration.
		
00:29:33 --> 00:29:33
			We should be
		
00:29:39 --> 00:29:42
			well, being on the topic of homosexuality.
		
00:29:45 --> 00:29:46
			Maybe one of our
		
00:29:49 --> 00:29:58
			topics, but it's a common occurrence of time to deposit the growing trend in America and other
countries throughout the world.
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:00
			How is
		
00:30:01 --> 00:30:11
			the what is the position on homosexuality less religion and how is this use or if it is or how is it
dealt with so how is it
		
00:30:14 --> 00:30:16
			How is it being accounted for
		
00:30:18 --> 00:30:18
			you know
