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.
