Mufti Menk – What Is Happening

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03

			Every piece of news, there will always be
		

00:00:03 --> 00:00:05

			a minimum of two sides.
		

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

			Someone will love you so much and someone
		

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

			will hate you so much.
		

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

			Let's take a look today at Palestine.
		

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

			We know that there is a genocide happening,
		

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

			but on the other side, isn't there a
		

00:00:15 --> 00:00:16

			story of people saying what genocide?
		

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

			Aren't we trying to say this is totally
		

00:00:19 --> 00:00:19

			unacceptable?
		

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

			And on the other side, isn't there someone
		

00:00:21 --> 00:00:22

			saying, well, you know what?
		

00:00:22 --> 00:00:24

			We have the right to defend ourselves.
		

00:00:24 --> 00:00:25

			And on this side, they're saying, well, are
		

00:00:25 --> 00:00:27

			you the only guys who have the right
		

00:00:27 --> 00:00:28

			to defend themselves?
		

00:00:28 --> 00:00:29

			Because you wait.
		

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31

			When the others wake up and start realizing
		

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

			they also have a right to defend themselves,
		

00:00:34 --> 00:00:34

			then guess what?
		

00:00:34 --> 00:00:36

			There's going to be a world war.
		

00:00:36 --> 00:00:38

			May Allah almighty not do that.
		

00:00:38 --> 00:00:40

			May Allah almighty help us resolve the matter.
		

00:00:40 --> 00:00:42

			But you and I know we are dealing
		

00:00:42 --> 00:00:46

			with the biggest and greatest criminal of our
		

00:00:46 --> 00:00:46

			age.
		

00:00:46 --> 00:00:47

			We never dreamt.
		

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

			I, for one, never dreamt in my life.
		

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

			You find people justifying it, patting them on
		

00:00:53 --> 00:00:54

			the back to say, well done.
		

00:00:55 --> 00:00:56

			You murdered so and so.
		

00:00:56 --> 00:00:57

			They don't even call it a murder.
		

00:00:57 --> 00:00:58

			They call it an operation.
		

00:00:59 --> 00:01:01

			So if you notice, they use smart words
		

00:01:01 --> 00:01:02

			to describe what?
		

00:01:02 --> 00:01:04

			The same crime.
		

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06

			And if it were done by the other
		

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

			side, then another type of a word is
		

00:01:08 --> 00:01:08

			used.
		

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

			Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist for more
		

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14

			than 50 years.
		

00:01:14 --> 00:01:16

			Do you realize what was it?
		

00:01:16 --> 00:01:19

			Verify, investigate, authenticate.
		

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22

			It took them 50 years to realize actually
		

00:01:22 --> 00:01:24

			he's a freedom fighter fighting for his land.
		

00:01:24 --> 00:01:28

			He came out a hero, Nobel Prize winner.
