00:00:04 --> 00:00:09
			The third misconception is that
Muslims are terrorists.
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			What is the meaning of the word
terrorists? Terrorists, by
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			definition means a person who
causes terror.
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:23
			Whenever a robber sees a
policeman, he's terrified. So for
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:28
			the robber, the policeman is a
terrorist. Whenever any criminal
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			sees a policeman, he's terrified.
So for the criminal, the policeman
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			is a terrorist.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:39
			Whenever any robber sees a Muslim,
he shouldn't be terrified whenever
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			and if they perceive the Muslim,
he should be terrified. Whenever
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:47
			any anti social element sees a
Muslim, he shouldn't be terrified,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:51
			like the police, every Muslim
should be a terrorist to the anti
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:52
			social elements.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:58
			I'm aware that this word terrorist
is more commonly used to terrorize
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			an innocent human being.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:05
			In this context, no Muslim should
ever realize an innocent human
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			being
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:14
			many a time, two different labels
are given to the same person for
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15
			the same activity.
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:22
			Six years back, when the Indians
were ruled by the British
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22
			government,
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:27
			and the people who were fighting
for the freedom of the country,
		
00:01:28 --> 00:01:32
			and these people by the British
government, they will call us
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
			terrorists, whereas by the common
Indians, they will call us freedom
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:42
			fighters as patriots, same people,
same activity, to the labels.
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:46
			If we agree with the view of the
British government, that the
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:50
			Britishers had tried to rule over
India, then you would call these
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:52
			people as terrorists.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:58
			Well as if you agree with the view
of the common Indians, that the
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:02
			Britishers had come to the trade,
they had no right to rule over us,
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:06
			then you would call these people
as freedom fighters as patriots,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11
			same people, same activity, but
two different labels.
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:15
			And you can use several such
examples. Allah subhanaw taala
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:19
			says in the Glorious Quran in
surah surah chapter 49 Verse
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:23
			number six, yeah, you are letting
me know in jail confessor,
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:27
			combinable, and Fatima Yahoo, and
unforeseeable column which are
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:32
			hella for to spill Halima for
ultimatum in all you who believe
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:37
			when a message comes to the check
it up before you pass it on to the
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			third person.
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:42
			We have the example of the
American Revolution that took
		
00:02:42 --> 00:02:45
			place in 1775.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:51
			George Washington by the British
government, he was called a status
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:51
			number one.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:58
			And later on, he becomes the
president of USA, imagine that it
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:02
			is number one, becoming the
president of USA, and he happens
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:06
			to be the godfather of all the
precedents, including George Bush.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:12
			We have the example of Nelson
Mandela, when South Africa was
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:17
			ruled by the white apartheid
government, Nelson Mandela was
		
00:03:17 --> 00:03:23
			imprisoned in Robben islands for
more than 25 years. And by the
		
00:03:23 --> 00:03:26
			white apartheid government, you
must call as terrorists number
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:27
			one.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:29
			Later on.
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:34
			When South Africa gets its
freedom, and the white apartheid
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:40
			government is thrown out, Nelson
Mandela gets fried. And he becomes
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:45
			the president of South Africa and
gets the Nobel Prize for Peace.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:50
			Imagine terrorists number one,
getting the Nobel Prize for Peace.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:55
			So your video lives, the media,
whatever label it gives to a
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:01
			person, that label gets stuck to
him. The media is very powerful.
		
00:04:03 --> 00:04:07
			It can turn black into white,
white into black, he will into
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:09
			villain villain into hero.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:16
			This is the power of the media. We
Muslims, we our backward we need
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:21
			to use the same media we have to
make it halal to strive to convey
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:22
			the message of Islam.
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			And I do know that 99% things
would come on the television that
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:33
			are haram but we need to do the
same media we have to make it
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:36
			halal to strive to convey the
message of Islam.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:42
			Today is the age of science and
technology, the youngsters that
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:47
			are going on the wrong track. We
need to use the same media to
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49
			bring the youngsters on the right
track.
		
00:04:52 --> 00:04:57
			And as long as we are within the
purview of the Islamic Sharia, we
		
00:04:57 --> 00:05:00
			need to do the same media that to
me
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03
			Make it allow to convey the
message of Islam to the non
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			Muslims to those who are unaware
of it
