Mufti Menk – We Don’t Want To Be From Amongst Those

			But we carry that flag across the globe
		

			because we don't want to be from those
		

			who don't learn from the mistakes of others,
		

			from the shortcomings
		

			and the downfall and the destruction of others.
		

			When you see someone making an accident with
		

			a vehicle at a certain juncture,
		

			every time you come to that part of
		

			the road, you must alert yourself. You must
		

			be careful. You know, this is where I
		

			saw someone making an accident, so therefore, I
		

			need to be extra vigilant. The same applies
		

			to us. We witness people across the globe
		

			doing things that have resulted in absolute destruction
		

			in some countries. We need to stay away
		

			from that. We need to learn from that.
		

			And if we don't talk about it, we
		

			won't be able to educate our people. And
		

			I firmly believe that if we have amongst
		

			us elements
		

			that promote
		

			intolerance,
		

			we need to weed them out. And we
		

			need to make sure that that will not
		

			be promoted in any way because,
		

			true religion true religion
		

			belongs to the almighty.
		

			And that Almighty has never taught us to
		

			resolve our matters through violence and hatred. So
		

			this is the message I have for this
		

			beautiful nation,
		

			as well as for all the nations across
		

			the globe. And Insha'Allah, we will repeat it
		

			and reiterate it as, the programs continue in
		

			this beautiful day for the next 2 days.
