Mohammed Hijab – Why Muslims Don’t Need to Convice the liberal White Man

			We are not able to do these things, but we want to do those things.
		

			The point that you guys finished your
		

			talk about morality and about individual choice. I think, from my experience, one, one good angle to
take on this might simply have to put them on the back for the questions. This
		

			is the question of fundamental who decides right or wrong, you know, we live in a society with the
laws, where they're saying this is something right and should be allowed to be open. And we say, No,
we can. So on any on any issue, who who's defined right and wrong. And when you break that down, if
you look, if you if you say
		

			that the fundamentals depending on where you're from, what your experiences are, people are going to
be from what you think we come from your mind what you think is right, what you think is wrong. For
us, obviously, we said his last
		

			adventure, and I say, Well, no, I mean, if you can, if you can prove as a creator, I mean, don't
create it as a means of knowing on multiples, and also, and he made those, then obviously, he knows
what's right or wrong for the creation itself. So ultimately, that equation comes back to that
point, which is I think I'll do right. But let me tell you something, let's be let's be completely
honest. Yeah.
		

			Let's be totally honest.
		

			Let me give you two
		

			thought experiments. Okay, two thought experiments.
		

			If somebody is a white man, in England,
		

			he comes to one of our sisters when,
		

			and in a very gentle and nice way. says, Listen, I just want to ask you a question of sincerity.
		

			Authenticity. Why do you wear this
		

			on your head?
		

			And then she starts answering, she said, Look, we believe in God, we believe that you know, this is
happening. And you know, God is telling us these things are right, either things are wrong. And this
is what I'm Yeah.
		

			Is there anything unusual about what I've just said? Like, if any of you are privy to that
conversation? Would you consider that to be an unusual conversation? No. Okay, that's socially
acceptable. And respectful. Whatever. Yeah.
		

			If I was to give you a thought experiment to Muslim man maybe looks like me.
		

			And he approaches to lesbians in the streets holding hands. I said, Please, just hold on for a
second, I have a question.
		

			Are you in a relationship with each other? Etc? Okay, whatever, you know, yes.
		

			Can I ask you to tell me why?
		

			You believe it's okay to be in a relationship like that?
		

			No.
		

			It's not socially acceptable. Some of them would say, it's not a good business, I promise, I promise
you the majority that will say it's none of your business. And the answer, they said, It's none of
your business would be socially acceptable. Would you accept? Would you do that, but if the Muslim
says this to the guy, it's none of your business, it would be seen as a little bit rude.
		

			Now, the reason why I'm saying these two things is, we are expected to bow and bend over backwards
for the white man.
		

			That's the truth of the matter. We are what we are. And the one thing is that sometimes you just
don't need to offer a single justification.
		

			And that's where the height of confidence is.
		

			I tell you, I've been doing this in my life,
		

			with certain people, not people who I consider to be sincere. But they'll come to me especially at
you know, the press a little club and getting a tax reason. And I've been answering the most and
they don't know how to I can guarantee you this is a very effective strategy. They'll say, Why did
you say this? Is that missing? Whatever? Why did you do this? And why are you doing this way
wherever it may be? And sometimes the best answer is this is this one. Because I want to
		

			relay
		

			because I want to,
		

			if you think about it really carefully, just for a second, how can you refute that?
		

			Because I want to is almost irrefutable.
		

			We're gonna say, Oh, you shouldn't want to wait.
		

			Now to get into this. Why'd you want to join the newsletter? Because this
		

			goes back to that, right? What I'm saying is sometimes we just have to wait. This is inventing a new
culture. What made the civil rights movement so successful in 1960s, with black people in
particular, is because they had an attitude shift. It wasn't necessarily because they had the best
intellectual arguments is because they were willing to change their attitude from a servile
submissive
		

			slavish attitude. Yeah, we'll take it from the back. We'll give it give it flogged me. Yeah, no
problem. So you know what, no, actually, what are you talking about? And it was that it was that
attitudinal shift, which created the change for us we don't need to we don't need to learn
arguments. We need to change attitudes.
		

			Because Because Because if we want to win them I'm convinced that that's a different story. Yeah,
well remember we started the premise here is if there are not sincere if they're sincere like these
that Americans that we've seen around come in honestly ask him any questions we see them you know,
we have to we have a duty of care, but if they're coming and you know who we are human beings, we
have a certain level of lifestyle we have a certain level on the faculty of understanding you know,
who is the world we shall see one from who is trying to leverage you and manipulate you and agonize
you and that's why the last one he says yeah even realizing that I'm in the way of putting them into
		

			my Donita Sophia to be hoping you're gonna and then let's look at the eyes and I'll tell you
		

			what I have a
		

			look at the model that the strategy has been put in at the last minute they're very humble with the
behind that
		

			of caffeine they are mighty with the believers
		

			the awesome that the way we should be okay if you want to protect yourself in the dunya you have to
have Dyson just why famous poet he said with Jackie boy don't take it literally he said men
		

			are less
		

			oppressive people will be oppressed. Yeah no meaning
		

			if you don't act mighty and tough and rough they're gonna they're gonna do you're gonna be the
shepherd of the sheep you're gonna deal with you're gonna get done with
		

			that's why I'm probably should that
		

			you know is that consumers are confused a couple otterly
		

			you know, he said to us your thoughts let it be the hacker in the in the necks of the of the
individuals who like your opponents? Where is that the hunter Bidadi Doolin for hunting and if you
go to a place of humiliation, the leave the place?
		

			Where is lucky to have volume in Cambodia? Man, if you see someone who's oppressive, then we'll
present with them. Once again, be rough with the rough and be wild with the wildlife. What is that,
though, Jonathan fair challenge. And if you see the one who's wild guy, the beaver move on with
them. So we need to just remember.
		

			It's our attitude that needs to change these guys. They shouldn't just ask questions like why do you
believe that? If they're coming at you with roughness?
		

			Then just remember come at them or office. Would you mean why not? This? What do you mean, why do
you believe is okay? Well, you explained yourself.
		

			We're not the defendant and then the plaintiff, the plaintiff. They're not the judges were the on
trial. None of that is applicable to so I think it would change the attitude a lot for me
