The moment

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

you hear the word fundamentalist,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

you start thinking of a Muslim. You start

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

thinking of an extremist.

00:00:09 --> 00:00:12

I tell the people I am an extremist.

00:00:12 --> 00:00:16

I'm extremely kind. I'm extremely merciful. I'm extremely

00:00:16 --> 00:00:19

loving. I'm extremely just. I'm extremely honest.

00:00:20 --> 00:00:22

What's wrong in being an extremist?

00:00:23 --> 00:00:24

Why are we apologetic?

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

But we should only be an extremist in

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

the right direction.

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

We should not be an extremist

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

in the wrong direction.

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

As Allah

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

says in the Quran

00:00:36 --> 00:00:37

00:00:37 --> 00:00:40

chapter number 2, verse number 208.

00:00:43 --> 00:00:45

Enter into Islam wholeheartedly.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:48

You can't say partly.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51

So why are we Muslims? Why are we

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

apologetic?

00:00:52 --> 00:00:55

We have the best deen. We have the

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

deen with us.

00:00:56 --> 00:00:59

It's time for us to turn the tables

00:00:59 --> 00:00:59

over.
