They criticize the actions of some community leaders, including those who use hateful language to incite others to do things. The complex and volatile beast of Islam is discussed, including its origins and historical precedent.

Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh How are you guys doing now many of you will be aware, many
of you will be aware of the back and forth I've had with one Douglas Murray. Now, for you who don't
know, this man is a British journalist. But he has been given a platform by the likes of the BBC,
		
00:00:44 --> 00:01:26
			the spectator. He has been part of the neoconservative movement in Britain, and in the West, and has
been a voice against, I would say Islam and Muslims for some time a critic of Islam and Muslims for
some time. In fact, let me read something to you. To give you a flavor of what this man is all
about. He says, conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made harder across the board. He says
Europe must look like a less attractive proposition. From long before we were first attacked, it
should have been made plain that people who come into Europe are here under our rules and not
theirs, says where a Mosque has become a center of hate, it should be closed and pull down. If that
		
00:01:26 --> 00:02:11
			means that some Muslims don't have a mosque to go to, then they'll have to realize that they aren't
owed one. Now the first part of that sentence that conditions for Muslims in Europe must be made
harder across the board. It's so anti Western ideology. So anti enlightenment ideology. If we're
talking about equality, if we're talking about minority rights, all of these things, it goes against
those things. Now, I'm not asking Douglas Murray to become a Muslim. I mean, we invite all of the
world to Islam to the worship of one God, of course, and that does include Douglas Murray. But what
I would, for now at least like to see is Douglas Murray being self consistent with his own
		
00:02:11 --> 00:03:03
			principles. Because this is a man who I am going to have to say as it is, is nothing but a
hypocrite, he is a hypocrite. He makes himself out to be some kind of a bastion for freedom of
speech and expression. But he's a co founder of an organization called the Henry Jackson
organization. He is the co founder of an organization that produces reports on a yearly basis. And
these reports, in fact, are an attempt to account organizations which have Muslim speakers in
universities, and he states or not him, but the report states for example, extremist hate preachers
have near unfettered access to students. And by that, of course, he means with his understanding of
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:52
			extremism, anything that goes against Western ideological or enlightenment values. So you see here,
this is really it's enraging. It's enraging how these individuals that speak about freedom of
speech, are attempting to do actions words or have words and actions do produce reports, which have
the net effect and entailment. Of curtailing freedom of speech for a minority group, which is the
Muslims, the fact or not him, but the report states that failure by university to apply that there's
been a failure by university to apply prevent duties Now, for those who don't know, or maybe live
abroad prevent is the government's counterterrorism strategy. So here we have a situation where the
		
00:03:52 --> 00:04:47
			Henry Jackson society, which is co founded by Douglas Murray is producing these reports. And these
reports aim to vilify label otherwise cancel, yes, cancel Muslim speakers, traditionalist orthodox
speakers, from speaking in universities because they're afraid that they have, quote, unfettered
access to students, students, we're talking about age 18 to 20 on adult students. So in this
situation here, clearly Murray and CO are using the guise of terrorism, to vilify a community and to
inhibit freedom of speech. Don't talk to me about freedom of speech. What kind of censoring is this?
You coward, you are a coward. And this is you know why it's clear to me that you are a coward and
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:59
			that you are afraid of public engagement and debate. Because when it came to me challenging you on
Twitter for discussion, when I came to challenge you on Twitter for discussion or debate, let's be
straightforward with you.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:41
			because we don't see eye to eye. What did you say? You made the excuses you call me anti semitic.
You call me all these words because I'm anti Zionist because I am pro Palestinian, unashamedly. So
you will never find a statement of mine and the whole public record which amounts to anti semitism.
But you coward even if I was a fully fledged anti Semite and hated Jews, which we believe in Islam
is not possible to do or you shouldn't do because the Prophet himself married a Jewish author. Yeah,
but hey, you didn't know that, did you? And he even he condemned anti semitism, which I have videos
on my channel doing the same thing. But if this is your excuse, why are you discussing with Anjem
		
00:05:41 --> 00:06:24
			Choudary? Let's take a picture. Let's take a look at a picture of you discussing with Anjem
Choudary. Anjem Choudary is widely recognized in the Muslim community, as someone who belongs to the
radical fringes, someone who has not condemned isis not condemned, al Qaeda not condemned these
groups, in many ways is sympathetic to those groups. And you have you have had a discussion with
him. But you with me? What now you're getting cold feet, you're getting bit scared? What is your
excuse? That I'm not qualified? I think you'll find that I'm much more qualified on these topics
than you are especially Islam. Why are your qualifications in Islam? What are your qualifications in
		
00:06:24 --> 00:06:36
			Islam? What is your training in Islam? What back where you've written two books to my knowledge
about Islam, but what is your qualification to speak about such a topic like theology?
		
00:06:37 --> 00:07:20
			Tell me now, you come to me humbly, as a student, that's the only relationship you can have with me.
When it comes to the religion of Islam, you come to me humbly cross legged as a student in front of
me, and I will tell you about Islam, the rulings, the books that I've memorized the language I know,
the years that I've spent in the Islamic seminary and the degrees that I've acquired, you're not in
my league on these issues don't even pretend to be and how dare you try and attack the Quran and say
the book the measly pathetic little book that you have produced? Apparently, he says, it's, it's
more bought than the Quran. It's Yanni people are buying it more than the Quran. Are you that?
		
00:07:21 --> 00:07:39
			Sorry, mentally slow. Do you think people buy the Quran on Amazon? This is a tweet he put up you can
check it on the Twitter. This guy, he thinks that his book is being read by Muslims or by other
people as much and or maybe the same amount as the Quran? Are you a fool? Are you literally a fool?
		
00:07:40 --> 00:07:49
			This book has been one of the most memorized. No, it is the most memorized book in the world.
Children memorize it, and you're talking about your measly little book that you put on Amazon.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:08:09
			Anyway, let's move on to something else. Let's move on to what you actually say about Islam. Let me
expose your ignorance further. Because it's not just Islam and theology that you have a inhibition,
you have a weakness in, but you have an inhibition and you have a weakness when it relates to the
humanities. In your book.
		
00:08:12 --> 00:08:34
			The strange death of Europe, you refer to as conjuring a careful new version of history, which flies
in the face of all historical scholarship, practically all historical scholarship. We're not saying
that the whole time in Spain was good, you had the unwashed, and so on. But to try and imply that
there was intolerance throughout the whole time period when Islam was in Spain is foolishness in a
historical understanding
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:37
			on anyone's understanding.
		
00:08:38 --> 00:09:17
			And you you make blunders historical blunders, you say, Europe was never a continent of Islam. Were
you talking about? We have Europe as well. You have Spain as the example. You have Sicily as another
example. And you have other places which the Ottoman Empire had control over as other examples, as
well. Are you that? Are you literally that foolish? Are you literally that foolish? Why are you
speaking about things which you have no idea about? On this point? Let's take a look at what you've
said about Islam. Let's say Islam is a very, very complex thing. And the best way I can do this in
the very short time I have a say you have three Islamic if I'm one, two, and three Islam one the
		
00:09:17 --> 00:09:59
			Quran and the life of Muhammad, and the Hadith Islam to the tradition of Sharia, Islam, three what
Muslims do now, the first of those things Islam, the Quran or so on is bad. It is bad. There is a
lot of violence in it. And what's worse, the peaceful verses are superseded by the violent versus
the violent versus also, sadly, are more numerous in number then you've got the life of Muhammad
again, a bad man, a very bad man. It has to be said not a great role model. If you look at it. It
takes child brides abusers a small girl, multiple wives, himself a warrior himself a war criminal
himself. beheads a Jews
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:19
			This I would have thought would be a signal if not great peacefulness. So he makes a series of as
you saw with that clip here, this man makes a series of claims about Islam and this is the video he
sent me by the way on Twitter. He said this is why I speak about Islam as if to show but to
grandstand to show me something I didn't know.
		
00:10:21 --> 00:11:02
			And this is what you have to present blunder after blunder after blunder. Let's go over each one of
them. He said the Quran is bad. That's an assertion and this is a static aesthetic value judgment.
And it's not based on evidence. So I will not even dignify that with a response. He states, the
peaceful verses are superseded by the violent ones. That's not true in its entirety. In fact, that's
not true at all. You have verses like chapter 16, verse eight, lay and how qumola Lutheran LMU
KwaZulu confini Well, let me read you come in the outcome and terbaru and taboo Matsukaze to lay in
the law, you have been mucosa thin, chapter 16 Verse eight, that Allah does not forbid you to be
		
00:11:02 --> 00:11:36
			good with those non Muslims who have not tried to kill you, and not try to kick you out of your
homes, that you'd be good with them. And you'd be just with them because Allah He loved the just,
that's not abrogated, and it's not super seated by any of us. Is that peaceful? Yes or no? You
answer me my questions, since you're the one making the claims. Yeah, you answer my questions now.
Because imagine if you're right in front of me, you're talking about my body. He was trying to
punish me, the guy was trying to talk about my body. This, you're trying to talk about me? And even
your followers were saying, actually, you know, I think you know, anyways, I'm not going to say
		
00:11:36 --> 00:11:46
			anything, but you can go and see on Twitter what his followers were saying, what your boyfriend
maybe have been saying, and other people. But anyway, the first thing you say is that the the verses
of the Quran
		
00:11:47 --> 00:12:05
			are superseded the peaceful ones, yeah. So is this a peaceful verse or not? Chapter 16 Verse eight,
answer me the question. What about chapter four verse 90, in the Latina Soluna, were being a kubina
me SAP and LJ, all come hasira To the room,
		
00:12:06 --> 00:12:34
			except for the ones that they come to you. And there's a peace treaty between you, Youtube, all that
and all that they've come with this. This has not abrogated this verse in the abrogates, it will
cause you to ladina you call to Luna Kumala attack Tatsu in the law, hello, you have been martyred
in chapter two verse 190. Fight those who fight you and do not go across the bounds not transgress
the bounds, because Allah does not like those who transgress the bounds.
		
00:12:35 --> 00:12:38
			Is that superseded is that abrogated?
		
00:12:39 --> 00:12:40
			This is my these are my questions. I mean,
		
00:12:41 --> 00:13:14
			you tell me of you. When the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said Khattala ma hadn't
lamb yet there. Yeah, tell Jana, that whoever kills a noncombatant nonbeliever will not smell the
fragrance of heaven. Is that been abrogated? My question is, the answer is no. The Prophet told us
which you won't find in Jewish or Judeo Christian tradition, very clear. If you if you go to war, do
not kill the old person, the woman that the child may can lay here and talk tell. He said about a
woman it's not for this woman it's a woman dead in the battlefield is not for her to be killed.
		
00:13:16 --> 00:13:55
			As a dip he he reiterated the same commands. So these are just old Orientalist tropes,
misconceptions, which unfortunately, because you have been reading Bernard Lewis and ignore a rock,
who is not a scholar mentioned he is a scholar. He's not a scholar, band loser historian, once he
got to do with theology of Islam, so you don't even know how to quote proper authorities on these
points. Yeah. Because you've been reading these people, you don't know how to nuance the discussion,
you have become ignorant, you're ignorant. You don't know how to access primary source material, you
don't know how to be honest with the sources. And when you try your best you fail. Look, you've just
		
00:13:55 --> 00:14:03
			stated two sentences about Islam. And the only thing that I see you speaking about religion
directly, and you've already made two mistakes. Let's go on though.
		
00:14:05 --> 00:14:48
			You say that there are more basically, the violent verses are more numerous than the peaceful ones.
There are 6236 verses of the Quran. Now, I don't know have you read the translation of the meanings
of the Quran? Because if you have, it's impossible to come to that conclusion. It is impossible to
come to that conclusion. Are you telling me of ratio, that the violent verses are more than the non
violent verses in the Quran? Then you've you maybe have been reading the art of war, not the Quran.
You've been reading another book. This is a foolish statement that no one who has read the Quran
even the translations of the meanings of would ever make you ignorant. How dare you even think that
		
00:14:48 --> 00:14:59
			you can debate me you can speak to me you're not qualified. You're not even that popular to be on?
Let's be honest. Who are you anyway? Who are you to try and step up like this? Who are you? Who
won't you respect and you'll come and talk
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:09
			about Islam, you're talking about Muslims need to be treated in this way and that way in the other
way that they are ticking time bombs. That's another quote of his, by the way, their demographic
ticking time bomb.
		
00:15:10 --> 00:15:22
			Well, I'll tell you what, we're an intellectual. You're an intellectual ticking time bomb because
now you're starting to implode upon yourself. You are starting to implode upon yourself. And you're
continuing to do that now.
		
00:15:23 --> 00:15:37
			Then you say the life of Muhammad he was a bad man. Another assertion, did they not teach you in
GCSE? That is P E. Point evidence explanation? Did they not teach you that one? So you stating
Muhammad was a bad man?
		
00:15:38 --> 00:16:24
			was awesome session. You weak man. You are a weak man. You are a weak man. Look at you making an
error in every statement that every sentence that you utter towards Islam, about Islam, you're
uttering it with erroneous statements filled with philosophy. And totally you are an imbecile. You
are an imbecile. What kind of disability is this? What kind of intellectual disability imbecility
pusillanimity Is this, I tell you, I think you know, and I know, this wouldn't end Well, if we were
standing next to each other, and we were having an intellectual discussion. And that's why you
scurried along than you. That's the real reason why you scurried along, you put, you put your tail
		
00:16:24 --> 00:16:28
			between your legs, and you had to run away, you try to engage me on Twitter.
		
00:16:30 --> 00:16:32
			But you wouldn't engage me face to face.
		
00:16:34 --> 00:16:40
			And then he says, he abuses more child, or a small girl, give me the evidence of that.
		
00:16:41 --> 00:17:16
			Where's the evidence of abuse? When are Aisha herself, who you refer to? I issue herself. She states
that the Prophet, he never hit any of his wives. He was never abusive to any of his wives or his
servants. And as an American self said that he the Prophet never saw much as uttered vocalizations
of contempt. You're talking about abuse? What's the evidence? You're historically impotent? You're
incapable intellectually incapable of producing the goods, the knowledge goods on these matters?
		
00:17:19 --> 00:17:27
			And then he says, multiple wives. What's the problem with having multiple wives? You haven't given
us a moral reason why having multiple wives is wrong.
		
00:17:29 --> 00:17:32
			A warrior? Why is that bad thing to have a warrior? Prophet?
		
00:17:33 --> 00:18:12
			Being a warrior is a good thing. So you're mentioning these things, Warrior. And then he states, he
himself beheads the Jews. Okay, I want you to give me one evidence from the Sierra, the biography of
the Prophet, where he beheads Jewish people because they're Jewish. In fact, if you beheads any
Jewish people at all, the Prophet Muhammad, Salah Salem, never beheaded a Jew, that never happened,
you are a liar, you are a liar. And if you're talking about Benu, kaleida, the 600 Jewish people
that were executed because of treachery, and even that treachery was, was realized by historians in
the western Academy, people like Karen Armstrong, who are in her book, the short introduction to
		
00:18:12 --> 00:18:54
			Islam, unequivocally and unambiguously details, the main reason for such a thing, author benaco Life
localiza being or not even Ben Kurata, I should say, the combatants among them were it was because
of treachery, well, treachery that happened in the Battle of Hunter. And if it was a matter of
genocide and disposal disposing of Jewish people, then why did the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu
wasallam do a constitutional Medina? Why did he guarantee the rights of the Jewish people? Why did
he not do the same thing with Bonavia and Ben, okay, Luca, why, why did he marry a Jew? Why in the
Quran in chapter number 59, verse number four, it states on this issue of benaco rather delicate the
		
00:18:54 --> 00:19:05
			end the home sha Allah, Allah rasool Allah, it gives the reason for why the hostilities took place
between the some Muslim tribes and some Jewish tribes. That is because they oppose Allah and His
messenger.
		
00:19:07 --> 00:19:33
			It's not because Delhi can be in the homea hood. That's because they were Jewish, bro. With all due
respect, you don't know what you're talking about. You do not know what you're talking about. Yeah.
And so this is the thing you can you can be a critic of Islam in your little echo chamber, but you
are a coward. And you are not courageous as Jordan Peterson said you are because if you were, and I
give credit Jordan Peterson for having a conversation with me, which was courteous, which was
courteous, and cordial.
		
00:19:34 --> 00:19:59
			If you were you would at least talk to me and with whatever energy you come to me with, I'll come to
you with that energy. But the energy that you become into the whole Muslim community with talking to
us about ticking time bombs, talking to us about unequal rights for our community, talking to us
about religion being a religion of opportunism. Yeah, the religion itself is an opportunity for
religion and other such things for a man that's unqualified, I'm trained to otherwise I'm aware
		
00:20:01 --> 00:20:50
			You really can't make a case for yourself, can you? So next time you utter the word Islam, or next I
knew utter the word Muslim from your mouth, or next time you or your your institute that you found
it co founded. produce reports. Remember that it's hypocrisy that runs through your veins, not not
just blood, but hypocrisy that runs through every artery and every vein in your body. You talk about
freedom of speech, and Kancil culture, but you do to the traditionalist Muslims and Orthodox
Muslims, what you claim the left has done to you. That's the reality of the situation. That is the
reality of the situation. And you, you do anything, but embody either spirit or word of what the
		
00:20:50 --> 00:21:29
			liberal theorists said, which is the I disapprove of what you say, but I defend to the death, your
right to say it. You don't embody that in either spirit or sentiment because you are a coward and
you are a hypocrite? And that is the reality of the situation. And for those who want to see bridges
being built, and, you know, civility, and lack of toxicity and so on, I say, as the Arab say Allah
Mazatlan. Yeah, we want that as well. The Muslim community does actually want coexistence and
harmony we do. But you can't reasonably ask me or my community to be an accomplice to our own
murder.
		
00:21:31 --> 00:21:33
