00:00:32 --> 00:00:33
			few hours.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:42
			Some people don't. And we welcome that sister as well. So if I can have Sister Ray, and she's there
aren't too many of us.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45
			In any case she has made

			For the last few years, there have been profitable investments and embracing the song The night
before Hold on. It's interesting. So he's asking the whole class thing tomorrow, tell them we're
ready to start getting nasty, any questions about how it started? I just wanted to give him an
opportunity to serve him for two minutes. And John, three minutes, just a few words about why now,
what brought you to this point. And also, like I said, walking home and in the room with us. And so
I think there are people saying, you know, our house, no, we're not living in Dallas.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:57
			But under that we say welcome home to the community have some and of course the dollars Islamic
center community in particular, are strong if you can just talk to, you know, why now? And what
about the circumstances in the world of just everything that's
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:03
			caused this change of heart, after all these years of looking into this for different life.
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			So on Star Citizen, political.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:50
			It's my honor to be here with you all tonight. Sheikh Omar is a dear friend and brother to me. And I
want to start there, because my friendship with him means everything to me. And never once we've
been friends now for nearly 10 years. Never once. That's the question of media squeezing in any way.
Tony today said, Sean, this is something I've been praying about for eight years. It surprised me.
And it made sense to me. Because this, this decision, it felt easy, even for my wife and I both. And
my wife
		
00:02:51 --> 00:03:45
			was amazing woman, she did not make this decision. And because I pressured her, she made this
decision that she felt in her heart as well. And that was even another confirmation for me. But I
don't know that I wouldn't be here today without the past six months of suffering from pain and
trauma that we've seen in Gaza. And so many men and women and families there have welcomed me as
their friend, and allows me to walk with them through their grief and their pain, but also through
their faith, strength and resilience. And it has touched me in the most profound ways to see people
right now in the most dangerous, generic place on the planet, still be able to sometimes look at
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48
			nothing but rubble and the remains of their family
		
00:03:49 --> 00:04:03
			and still see meaning and purpose in life and their faith and their devotion to this. It's not only
an open heart, it's opening heart of millions of people around the world. So
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:09
			thank you for allowing me here. Certainly, our honor.
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:53
			Our dear brother, Uncle Max, who introduced many of us to Islam, generations ago, first even
softened my heart is known as the teenage boar. And to all of my dear Muslim friends and men and
women, who would have been the most kind and compassionate people in my in my life and in my wife's
life. Many of them flew here from around the world to be with us. And I'm so grateful for that. And
so more than anything, it's been friendship, sincere friendship, and just the deep devotion and
faith of the Palestinian people that has moved my heart.
		
00:04:54 --> 00:04:59
			I can't wait. I haven't had a chance to check in with them and my friends there yet. Oh,
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:14
			I was able to tell many of them that today what's going to happen and I can't wait to check back in
with them and continue sharing how, how happy and excited we are about the rest of our lives. So
thank you for welcome
		
00:05:25 --> 00:05:25
