Mohammed Hijab – Educating Patrick Bet-David on Islam

			Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam told us to whoever builds a mosque for Allah, Allah
were built in a similar house in Jannah. And we know the great reward that will not only be gained,
but rather, will fill your grave after your death. Whenever someone prays that whenever someone
gives shahada in the masjid whenever someone learns something in the masjid, yes, that will be
something that you will have on your scale.
		

			Salam Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh How are you guys doing? I came across a video from this man
called Patrick bett Davis, you may know him from his channel called Value tainment. Let's take a
look at the video and come back and respond in kind a bit of the Christian religion have an
influence on him but also the Muslim in the Muslim religion as much as you know, people in America
want to make it it's a very peaceful thing. You've heard Bill Maher say just before what Bill says,
you know, most Muslims are not terrorists. But Bill Maher also says, but most Muslims, most
terrorists are Muslims, right? So when you read that, like wait a minute, you can't say that he's
		

			well, he's not wrong, right? When you have this kind of conversation, there's a part of him where I
think the way the Muslim community looks at women, it is very submissive, it is very, you know, I
get to do this and you can it is very, I can have multiple wives, you can have multiple husbands, it
is very, you can't get to sleep around which you don't use your body. All this kinds of cliches, I
have to say, our cliches which we've heard as the Muslim community. All too often. They've been
repeated, regurgitated, reiterated. And I have to say,
		

			they are boring. Now for us. I mean, we've heard this so many times before, it doesn't mean to say
that just because of the monotony, that it induces within our very psyches. That is not worthy of a
response, which is what I'm doing here. Now.
		

			In this video, what I will say is that there were two assertions that were really made by this man,
		

			Patrick, but Davis first was one, which he agreed with the proposition, let's say that Muslims,
		

			the majority of terrorists, or the majority of terrorists, are Muslims, putting it exactly in the
terms that he put in. First and foremost, what is a terrorist? That's really think about it.
Obviously, if you go on, you know, Cambridge dictionary or something, it's gonna say that a
terrorist as someone who uses violence for political objectives. However, if you look in the fields
of political science and international relations, there is no consensus as to what the definition of
the term terrorist actually means. But what I will say is this, if what we're talking about is the
targeting or the killing of non combatants, people that are otherwise not engaged in warfare for
		

			political objectives, let's say, and we look in the historical record for the last 2000 years, I
think it's almost impossible to make the case that the Islamic civilization in whichever way you
would like to define it, even a way that Samuel Huntington does, in his book, The Clash of
Civilizations, that in whichever way you wish to define it, the Muslim civilization is not the full
runner. In this, for example, in fact, there was an article that was written with tabulation that
was made by Naveen chef.
		

			Of course, every kind of tabulation or categorization, will compartmentalization will have some
level of methodological obscurity problem and limitation. But having said that, he concluded
		

			that the Christian civilization
		

			was the most in terms of civilian deaths, active in committing them with 178 million people who
sates who have died in wars related to the Christian civilization, compared to only 31 million
Muslims. People have died as a result of wars in the Muslims of civilization. Now, I'm not saying
any of that is good. And of course, what Muslims do or Christians do is different to what Islam and
Christianity is, or there is no necessary link between the two notions. But what I will say is,
these kinds of historical facts when they are put forward, they almost always ignored when we talk
about the colonial conquests, when we're talking about the expansion of Spain, for example, into the
		

			Americas, when we are talking about manifest destiny in America, when we are talking about the
British colonial empire. And India when we are talking about when we're talking about the 11 wars
that were waged by the United States of America, of which many of them are contemporary to us. Many
of them are now
		

			I've times million people died in Iraq, for example, in the same part of the world that this Patrick
pet Davis Davis is from. Now I'm saying to you, let's be honest and fair in our assessments, what
are you talking about, if you want to make a case that there is something inherently violent about
Islam, then go ahead and make the theological case. But of course, the word Islam in this discourse
was a very short 130 seconds, I have to say, very cowardly kind of discourse, where he was putting
it in, in a very conniving kind of way in his normal podcast, but Davis,
		

			because he wasn't presenting this to someone who can challenge his ideas, very cowardly. But what I
was gonna say was this kind of discourse, there's almost always equivocation between Islam as a
religion, and Islam as a civilization of some sorts. So what is the claim that has been made that
Islam as a religion, the text, the primary texts, are is inherently violent? And if so, can you make
can you put the evidence forward? Or is it that you're talking about the civilization? In which case
how you do to find the civilization? Let's have a proper discussion about this issue? Secondary
secondarily? I'll say, well, secondly, he mentions in, in making the argument against Islam for 30
		

			seconds, the issue to all the issues to do with gender, while say, in this case is as follows. We've
already spoken in my content, you'll find the many different places where we challenged feministic
presuppositions the fundamental flaws of feminism, that you know, why feminism was false, and so on.
However, what I will say is this, it's not enough to, to preach to the choir, to try and energize
the base to make the assertion
		

			that okay, well, Islam allows a man to marry for and a woman can only marry one, or that a woman has
to be submissive in marriage. It's clear, I think, for any fair academic person,
		

			that there are differences in Western dominant Western ethics and Islamic discourses, there are
differences to do with the with the tension of the individual to the community, or the husband and
the wife, the family and the community and the society.
		

			All of these things, yes, there are different questions, there are different answers, as per you
know, which ideology you are looking at. But the question is, why would that make for example,
Islam? false, wrong, unfair, unjust do any of those things? Is there an argument that you're making
him because I'm still waiting to hear the argument, but the point is Patrick Davis, unfortunately,
you spoke to Andrew Tate for five hours. And he's one of the, you know, voices of traditional family
and hierarchy within households. And so, why don't you bring these interrogations to him? Why now
and you're speaking to a feminist?
		

			Are you giving her practically everything you want? She wants to hear? I don't think you're
conducting yourself in a very
		

			courageous or dignified way. And I will say to you, unfortunately, you have not made a satisfactory
argument, which is worthy, actually, of any kind of refutation.
		

			Further than what I'm about to what I have already said here. If you do want to discuss this matter,
I'm always open to discuss the matter. And challenge your views was Salam aleykum Warahmatullahi
Wabarakatuh how are you? Are you wasting your time on social media again, your brothers and sisters
in Islam net from Norway are establishing a masjid a Dawa center. Establishing a masjid to convey
