First of all, again for having me
and the first things first is to talk to myself for one minute
after a generous introduction, which is to remember that Allah
subhanahu wa says mankind, those who seek glory, let them know all
glory belongs to Allah subhanho wa taala. What you resonate what you
have resonated with over the past three months is not Sami or
anything. Sami says what you resonated with is the justice that
embodies the Palestinian cause and your fitrah has resonated with the
justice that Islam decrees, particularly with regards to
Philistine itself, you've resonated with that not Sami Allah
elevates those who stand for justice, elevates those who stand
with Islam, and humiliates those who abandon it, and humiliates
those who abandon the cause of Islam. As long as our words are
aligned with that justice, you will continue to resonate with
what I have to say. And if I was to say something completely on the
opposite, you would not resonate with Sami anymore. And that is the
greatest proof that what you're resonating with is the cause, not
the individual. And all glory belongs to Allah subhanahu wa and
the highest honor that the servant can achieve is to be a vehicle
through which to pursue that justice, or through which that
Justice comes about, I like to think that I may have contributed
a little bit in the same way that everybody else here has
contributed to it, as wala May Allah always uses his vehicles for
his particular cause.
After talking to myself now for a minute, I'll talk to you now.
Sometimes, when you do this quite often, the message can appear the
same. And sometimes you sit in the hotel room, and I've seen way too
many hotel rooms. I've only been to London for eight or nine days
in the past three months. And Alhamdulillah, I hope to go to
London soon, but apparently it will be a piss before I come for
another leg. If they let me through the border, sha Allah, if
me through the water.
And sometimes, you know, you get comments sometimes where they say,
you know, Sami JazakAllah here for the videos and Con and for the
three months. But bro, we need new content.
And sometimes I don't know what to reply. I mean, what is it that
that you are getting used to. Is it you you heard
the truth about the genocide for too long, and now you want to
shake it up a bit.
Is it that you got bored of hearing? Not you specifically, but
those who said it, did you get bored of hearing that children are
having their limbs amputated without anesthesia? Did you get
tired of hearing about hospitals being bombed and seeing the limbs
of the patients dangling from outside dead? Did you get bored of
hearing about the babies being slaughtered? Did you get bored of
the images of the children wandering around in the streets of
Philistine crying out, Mama, Baba, and the nurses have to lie to the
child and say your parents are alive when they know full well
that the child's entire family have been wiped out. And now there
is a new term used by news, used by refugee agencies and charities
about the surviving child with no surviving family members. The fact
that the message has to be repeated constantly, over and over
again, shows how deficient the world has become with regards to
morality that we are now 100 plus days in, and still, we find that
we are still witnessing a genocide. Live Stream ethnic
cleansing. Live streamed slaughter. Live Stream. Not only
that, we're seeing a world that, throughout international law,
entirely desperate to protect this environment in which to allow this
genocide and ethnic cleansing to take place. We saw the human
rights that they kept talking about for years and years and
years as if they were the bastions of human rights. We saw them throw
out those human rights because the Israelis happened to be a
particular color, and they wanted to protect that, and the genocide
was being done to a people of another color, and those people
aren't necessarily deserving of human rights. We think that the
world has progressed, but in reality, it reminds me of 1945
when the French not that I was alive in 1945 I'm saying it
reminds me of what I read about 1945 in 1945 when the France was
liberated from Nazi Germany, the Allies will got together to write
a document, and in this document, they wrote that every man is born
free, and every people have the right to self determination. And
the Allies got together, and they patted each other on the back, and
they said, look how moral we are. Look how wonderful we are in terms
of our justice. And then the French, while they were
celebrating in Paris, their humanity and having defeated the
evil Nazi Germany. While they were celebrating in Paris, they
received news that Algerians in Stef, karata and galma had taken
to the streets because they had read this document, and they said,
Wow, we're entitled to freedom. Wow, we're entitled to self
determination. And the French was so outraged.
These people believe the document referred to them that in the space
of one week, they massacred 30,000 Algerians in the same period after
they had just been liberated from Nazi Germany, to say to the
Algerians, hey, hey, hey. This law, this human rights, this
freedom, belongs to us, not to you. How dare you challenge
France? France is great. You cannot challenge us. And they bury
the massacre. They say 12,000 and they say it without any sort of
reservation. We made it as if 12,000 is a small number. The
Algerians say 50,000 I went for the middle number, 30,000 so that
no one can say exaggeration, no one can say I was too
conservative. 30,000 Algerians in one week massacred because they
wanted the same rights that Europe, at the same time, was
celebrating when they wrote the document of the Geneva Convention.
That was 1945 we are 2024
and exactly the same attitude is being manifested by the free
world. Exactly the same attitude is being displaced, displayed by
exactly the same people whose grandfathers committed the same
massacre that they did in Algeria, and the irony that the same people
who committed the Holocaust are now the ones cheering another
genocide again supporting them. Some people are saying it's out of
guilt. I don't think it's out of guilt. I think it was a
transplanting of settlers who came from Europe. I don't watch I don't
read Reddit. I don't read Reddit. I'd like to go on record. I don't
read Reddit. However, I saw this Reddit piece on Twitter. I don't
read Reddit. For those of you who read Reddit, you know exactly why
I'm saying I don't read Reddit. I saw it on Twitter. They said that
an Israeli settler took ancestry test. Now I did ancestry test, and
Alhamdulillah, I discovered that I am about, I think it's 20% West
African,
about 30% North African, about 35 40% Arabian Peninsula. I think
there's a couple, maybe 2% European in it, but we don't need
to talk about that. In any case, there's nothing wrong with Allah.
There's nothing wrong with him.
So a settler in Israel took a ancestry test, and they found that
they were 100% Eastern European. And so they put on they said,
guys, I think there's something wrong with the test. Can someone
help me? And then someone wrote on top, is anybody going to tell him?
The reason why I mentioned the idea of the settler colonialism is
because before the settlers came from Europe,
Jews and Muslims were living side by side in Jerusalem for hundreds
and hundreds and hundreds of years.
Every time the Europeans got involved in the issue, they would
turf the Jews from Jerusalem, and the Muslims would say, you can
come back. Omel Khattab said it. Then the Christians would come
again, Europeans, white supremacist Europeans. They would
massacre, kick out the Jews again, Salah di nayyebi would turn up. He
wouldn't commit any massacre of the kind, but tell the Jews come
back.
Anti semitic white supremacist Europe that committed the
Holocaust in 1945
it's almost as if there's a muscle memory. When it sees what's
happening in Ghazal there's an excitement, but it doesn't know
where their excitement is coming from. We've seen this before, and
we enjoyed it before. Why should we stop it? Guys? This was so fun
when we did it. Germany is going all out to say, go, go, go, do
this genocide. Some people said, out of guilt. I don't think it's
out of guilt.
So yeah, ibad Allah, if you are bored with the same message over
and over and over again.
Know that you're not bored of Sami. You are bored of the call of
justice. You are bored of dawah. Perhaps you are bored of the 1400
year old message of the Quran. It's been the same for 1400 years.
Never been changed. Allah subhanahu wa made the message
eternal because the message of justice is eternal.
Fay ay bad Allah,
I will give the benefit of the doubt and say that what these
people are really suffering from is fatigue, because justice is
hard, justice is difficult.
Justice requires struggle, requires perseverance.
The Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu, alayhi wa sallam went 13 years in
Mecca being persecuted in Dawa, no army, no money, no control over
the media. His Sahaba being beaten up
by the Kaaba. Somebody came and put animal organs in front of him,
some say, on top of him.
Bila Alba put on the floor with a rock put on the top of him.
Sumayya Raghavan had killed before the Prophet Salam could even give
Tao in public boycott. Khadija and had dies during the boycott. Abu
Talib dies during the boycott. Some
of the Muslims have to flee. It gets too much. They have to go to
habasha. So after 13 years, they suffered 13 years try.
Been struggling 13 years for justice. Remember, before Prophet
saw him, said Laila Alhamdulillah, he was living a nice, comfortable
life for 40 years of his life. He had no problems with Quraysh. They
called him sadaq. They called them Amin. They called him trustworthy.
They loved him. They would leave their property with him. He was
like a spoiled child of Mecca. They loved him, spoiled, knocking
they're not in a negative way, spoiled, as in, they loved him so
much that they would treat him very well.
When did the problem start for the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu,
sallam, when he stood up and he said, la ilahalla. Muhammad
rasulallah, why do you bury your daughters?
Why do you abuse your neighbor? Why do you treat each other badly?
13 years of that suffering, 13 years of the same message over and
over and over again 13 years. But Sahaba, they don't get tired of
the message of justice, even though they're hearing it from the
same person over and over and over again for 13 years. And after 13
years, Allah subhanahu wa doesn't give him the ability over Quraysh.
He tells him to leave Mecca, leave and go to Medina and the Prophet
Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, is so heartbroken that even though Allah
has ordered him to leave Mecca, as he leaves Mecca, he turns around,
looks at it and says, Wallahi, you are the dearest land to me. And
Wallahi, if your people had not driven me from you, I would never
have left you. The Prophet is in tears, heartbroken that 13 years
of giving dawah and struggling, and those 13 years end with him
having to leave Mecca to flee in the night, when the night when
they try to kill him, and to flee being chased by Quraysh, who are
desperate to kill him, and he has to hide in a cave, and Allah sends
the spider and the bird's nest in order to try to throw off descent
from those who have chased him
13 years the Prophet Salman never tires of this message. So yeah, I
love for those who are tired of hearing it, beware what you say.
Keep it as I'm tired of Sami. Don't say you're tired of the
message, because getting tired of me is no problem. That's perfectly
fine. You know, sometimes you hear it. You know when you hear it. You
know when you when you're in a marriage, you know, sometimes I'm
tired of seeing your
face, in any case, to the issue at hand.
So after thinking very deeply about how to convey a message that
you've already probably heard many times over. I've decided that
instead of mixing it up, we'll do the same message again. And
barakallah, if we come for tolerating it, because Allah said,
fadakirah, remember for remembrance benefits the Muslim,
take it or leave it
in terms of where we are, where we stand at this moment in time,
Haaretz reported four or five days ago that Israel has proposed a two
month truce with hummus,
and hummus are now considering the details, so I have to be careful
of the, you know, just just, you know, tolerate it for now.
The ICJ
also delivered a historic moment that will go down in history. Now,
I've seen many people say that the ICJ failed miserably because they
didn't call for a ceasefire or something like that. Ibad Allah,
did any of you even think for a second that the ICJ could stop the
war or the genocide? That wasn't what Israel was concerned about.
That wasn't what genocide Joe was concerned the views expressed by
the speaker, the speaker's own, and do not reflect those of the
organization they belong to, Sami alone. And please do not consider
any reaction from this audience. Anybody who celebrates what I say
has also nothing to do with the organization or anything. They
didn't ask me what I would say. I didn't tell them what I would say.
This is a serious disclaimer. Despite the reaction of this
audience, which I have nothing to do with I'm going back to London.
They're the ones who will have to decide who comes into power
afterwards has nothing to do with them.
And no, I'm not moving to the US. It's too far to fly everywhere.
Subhanallah, I flew from Dallas, so initially,
when I came to America in November,
and I landed in on the west coast in LA. And you will know the story
by now. I landed dressed for London weather, cold London. I see
five days of summer a year, just so you know, I see the sun five
times a year, and I don't even see them in one go. You know, it's
different. It comes as separate days. So imagine my reaction when
I've flown 11 hours. And not only that, they made me fly London
Istanbul backwards three hours, and then fly 13 hours, 13 and a
half hours to Los Angeles.
When I landed in Los Angeles,
the pilot says, Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to Los Angeles
Airport. The weather is clear, skies, sunny, and it's something,
something Fahrenheit, because we didn't Celsius, because we're
sophisticated, not that I know America likes everything big. I
think maybe you didn't like the idea of 26 Celsius. So you had to
make it 70 or 80 something. You know, everything has to be big.
You know, your chick, your that bid out of yours, chicken and
waffles has to be big. The portions have to be big.
Everything has to be big. You know, your roads are big. The cars
are big. You.
Said,
so when I landed in lovely, sunny LA I stepped out, and I looked
out, and I said, Allahu, Akbar, this was 25th of November, 26 so
winter. I said, Allahu Akbar,
I never knew winter could look like this in the world.
Allahumma would never spend winter anywhere else.
But I didn't truly appreciate how big America was until some
brothers of mine, who I reluctantly call friends,
because they invited me and they said to me, Sammy, we heard you're
in America. Would you like to visit us in Chicago?
Haven't finished the story here.
Now I'm not used to coming to America. First time I came to
America was 2018 for a wedding, and even that was the East Coast.
That was only six and a half hour flight, like I had. My friend
found the Yemeni in Raleigh, and he wanted to marry her. And after
the Miami, out of this big world, you couldn't find somebody except
in America. And then, because I had to go and apply for the visa
because Obama introduced a Muslim ban. So because of Obama, Barack
Hussein, boua Mama, as we call them, when he first came to power.
And then we just now say Barack Obama, because he betrayed us so
horribly.
Barack Obama listed the sets of a number of countries that if you've
been to them, you have to go to the embassy to apply. And I'd been
to Sudan in 2013 beautiful, lovely Sudan that is now in the middle of
a war, because the UAE and Washington said, If we hold
elections, Sudanese will choose parties that align too closely
with the idea of Islam. Bin Zayed, the head of the President of the
UAE, told Jake Sullivan, according to New York Times, this isn't my
word, and the views expressed are the speaker's own. And this view
is the New York Times view as well. It's not the view of this
organization, but they wrote in the article The Dark Prince of the
Middle East, that Mohammed bin Zayed told Jake Sullivan after the
Arab Spring that these are a people in this region, in this
Middle East region, these are a people who believe a 1400 year old
book should be a constitution. Do you really want these people to
choose their leaders? And Jake Sullivan later said, we turned out
bin Zayed was more right than not when it came to these affairs,
when Sudan Omar Al Bashir is government was toppled after 30
years of sanctions. Those Sudanese, if anybody's Sudanese
here and says, revolution or greatest, greatest of respect,
there's no revolution in 2019, yes, there were protests, but not
revolution. Protests took to the streets, large protests. UAE got
excited. Washington got excited. Salah, gosh, the head of
intelligence took the opportunity. So did the general Abdul Fattah
Abu Han, so did he METI. They got together, they said, Let's ride
these protests at top of the Al Bashir regime. And then when the
people thought that they did a revolution and they demanded
elections, they very soon got a rude awakening that not
Washington, nor Abu Dhabi, nor Riyadh, believed that they did a
revolution. The Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Washington, came together with
the generals who had Topo del Bashir with leftist civilian
parties who knew they would never win an election, and they made a
deal. They said, Guys, look, if we let the Sudanese have an election,
we'll get the same result as Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and all
these other Arab Spring countries where, in Tunisia, after 90 years
of top down secularism, the Tunisians still chose Islamic
leaning parties. They didn't vote Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim
Brotherhood were the beneficiaries of a people who were inclined to
Islam, which is why today, when many Tunisians believe that Islam
is abandoned the principles of Islam. They still love Islam, even
if they don't love the Islamists very two separate, different
things here, they said, If we hold elections in Sudan, then they will
vote for people similar to how the Tunisians Egyptians voted. So they
came up with a deal. They said, Let's negotiate a transition the
generals who toppled Al Bashir after 30 years of sanctions, you
can rule for two years, and the leftist parties who would never
win an election, we will give them 69% of the parliament appointed so
that they can embark on the ideological changes that the
Washington wanted and for which it imposed sanctions to achieve in
those two years, the leftist parties and the general together,
they removed Islam from Sudan's Constitution as part of a deal
with rebel groups. They normalized ties with Israel, knowing it would
never happen democratically. Then in 2021 when the general was
supposed to hand over power to the leftist parties, he turned around
and he said, Guys, come on, these parties will never win elections.
I want to rule. Okay, listen, if you don't let me rule, I'll hold
elections. And they told them, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Elections,
please. Dala, let's negotiate again. Let's make a new agreement.
We'll call it the framework agreement. The general said, Okay,
let's negotiate. They negotiated for a year. At the end of the
year, the general said, I still don't like this agreement. I don't
want to hand over power to these leftists. He went to Egypt and he
asked, CC, can you help me out? Sisi said, Sure, I don't want you
ate to have a lot of influence, so they expanded the participation of
the civilian parties. UAE got frustrated. So did they left the
civilian parties. So they asked the head of a militia, he METI.
They said to Him, Burhan lives two streets down from you. If you
could go in the middle of the night, do you think you'd be able
to assassinate him? He said, Sure, no problem. So he goes two streets
down. Burhan gets a.
POF the general runs away, and then the whole country is plunged
into war, and the UAE is so dead set on Sudan not choosing that it
would rather support a militia that is committing genocide in
Sudan than allow the Sudanese to have any elections to choose their
leaders, because these are a people who believe a 1400 year old
book should be a constitution, and therefore they should never be
trusted to vote. That's Sudan in a nutshell. I had been to Sudan in
2013 and I loved it, which meant I had to go to the embassy to apply
for my visa, and
I didn't want to go and apply for
my visa. And my friend told me why. I told him I can't come to
your wedding. He said why? I told him, because I don't want to go to
the American Embassy and ask them, please, can you let me in your
country? I told my feelings beneath my digging. My dignity,
like you know, Allah said. Walaka, Karam nabini, Adam, we go. We gave
man dignity. Why should I throw in my dignity? He goes, you throw
away that wretched dignity of yours and you come to my wedding
after the Mahi. I'm not the one. I'm not the one who chose an
American to get married to. You. Could have brought her to
Birmingham and get married to her in Birmingham. Why should I go to
America and tell them, please, for for a wedding for you. He said,
Yes, for me. So no, I'm not going. It's only you'll go anyway. I told
him, You want me to stand in the queue in an American embassy and
then go to the window and tolerate that interview process? He said,
Wallahi, if you don't go,
this will be Fila convey new abenik. This would be the end of
our relationship, because there are only eight people coming from
the UK, and there are 400 of her lot.
So I thought, yeah, let me make engineer it so that they reject
me. That way it won't be my fault. Why would I want to go to the Eye
of Sauron? You know, like, I don't understand it. Why would I like,
why? You know, I have no rah I have no desire to come to America.
I did at the time. Now, I've grown to love the country, to be honest.
But in
any case, Allah Berg,
so when I went to the interview, of course you go, I prayed Fajr,
and I went. I booked an early appointment. For some reason, I
went and stood in the queue in the cold in London, because we have
five days of summer, if you remember,
and I went in, stood in the queue. I went in, and I said, Yeah, is
this friend really worth all of this? And then I went to the guy
in the interview. Now, I know on the west coast you guys have this,
because when I came to LA, I went in the morning to go to a cafe.
And when I went to the cafe, I realized, like, to be honest, West
Coast people are a bit too happy. So for example, like, you'll go in
the morning, and then somebody's joking past. He goes, Hey, how are
you good morning? And you're like,
oh, did I say something? You're continuing. Just go on your way.
Why are you so happy so early in the morning?
What's east coast? People are a bit more similar to us. London is,
to be honest, East Coast is like, Hello. Would you want
so I went to the interview. The guy tells me, what purpose do you
visit? That's
the beginning of the hurting, of the dignity. I'm going for a
wedding where Raleigh,
how long you staying? Not a second longer than I need to. I
didn't actually say that. I didn't have the nerve. I
said I'm staying for 10 days. Said, Okay, what do you do?
Talking about risk consultant, he said, What's that? And by this, I
thought, You know what? This is a bit too much. Yani, Salah Ani, I
don't need to go to America. I don't need to go through this
process. Yanis, you know, my grandfather was a mujer head
against the French, you know, in the mountains, kicked out the
French. If he was alive and he saw that, he'd tell me, shame on you.
You know, denying it. So I said to him, You know what, Google? Sammy
Hamdi,
some fire. He said, What? I said, Google, Sami Hamdi, I thought he
tell me, No, I'm not. He said, Okay. I
said, I was quoted at Fox News yesterday. I didn't actually give
a quote to Fox News, so don't judge me. I had given a quote to
Al Jazeera, and they had taken on Fox News.
So he went, because he looked a bit right wingy as well, whatever
that means. So he goes,
Oh yeah, you were quote on Fox News and break bar. Oh, and he
looked happy about break bar, which, to be honest, is not my
proudest moment, but I never gave them. I didn't give a quote to
break but they watched the LG z, and then they took it. And then he
said to me, Well, welcome to America.
In my heart, I almost said, I just need to buy a mega hat and I'll be
able to go through the board every time Subhanallah, you know. But so
because of Obama, I had to apply for a visa and the like, and a
Muslim ban and whatever. So when it came to the with regards to
Sudan and with regards to America, and then Gaza and the like, the
reality is that when it comes to
this process of the ICJ ruling,
that many Muslims are now saying that we are upset because it
didn't call for a ceasefire. Ibad Allah, you're looking at it the
wrong way. The iCj was never supposed to call for a ceasefire.
The ICJ was never supposed to stop the genocide. The reason the
Israelis were so worried about the genocide, about the ICJ ruling, is
because the ICJ has decided that Israel is going to stand trial for
genocide, something that was unthinkable five months ago.
Some who did imagine five months ago that you could.
Even question the foundation of the Israeli state. Who would have
thought five months ago that Israel would be on trial at an
international court for genocide and not even genocide Joe would be
able to get Israel off the hook,
that not any of Israel's allies would be able to get them off the
hook. For the next five years, Israel is going to be dragged
through an international court being accused of genocide. That
means, you know, when companies go to invest in Israel, usually, you
know, part of my job is due diligence. I have to investigate a
company to make sure that they don't have any red flags. So a bit
of a spy, you know, bit Mission Impossible, but the more the nerdy
version, you
gotta have to get corporate documents and find out who owns
what the shares, and that kind of stuff. Kind of stuff and and then
you make a decision. This person had a court case. This person had
whatever that kind of stuff. That means when companies now do your
work in Israel, they have to be careful they don't work with
companies that might be implicated in genocide in the ICJ because if
they do so, then the ICJ rulings are recognized in the UK and also
recognized in the US. That means any Muslim can raise a case
against any company that works with the Israelis in the UK and
the US, and the judge would not ask whether they have
jurisdiction. The judge would judge it because the ICJ has
already given jurisdiction, which means companies will be less
inclined to give in investors Israel. It's a hit on Israel
regards to genocide, and that hit in terms of the economy. Wala Han,
the views expressed other speakers and I have no idea what these guys
are doing. You gotta be careful with these things. Hold it in
the US is immediate reaction was to employ its spin. NPR, now for
the to understand the spin and PR, it's important to remember that
New York Times in C that New York Times and CNN have gone from being
media companies to PR agencies. I'll give you an example, just so
nobody thinks I'm exaggerating. I'm not speaking emotionally. I'm
speaking seriously. For example,
if you remember the IDF bombed the jabelli a refugee camp, and they
killed 400 Palestinians. Now, when they killed 400 Palestinians, the
IDF said openly, we did it because we wanted to target a hummus
commander.
And then they said that after the bomb, we're not sure that we even
killed the homeless commander, which kind of makes sense when you
have the Peter bread, sometimes it seems hard to get the older
humper. It's important
to use the correct terminology to make sure that Google algorithm or
YouTube algorithm doesn't censor anything.
When the IDF commander went on CNN, the CNN presenter asked them
what happened in jabelli refugee camp, and the IDF guy says, We
bombed it. And the CNN presenter is shocked for 10 seconds. He
forgets to ask the question. He's renowned Zionist presenter as
well.
So then the Zionist guy, you know, says the CNN present says, Are you
sure? He says, Yeah, we bombed it. He said, But 400 people were
killed. Said, collateral damage. The CNN presenter goes, we'll go
to the next interview, you know, like, this is good. Then CNN, they
got together, and they said, Guys, look, we know the IDF did
everything, but we know their PR is poor. Is there any way we can
repackage this? They said, Yeah, sure. We won't say that Israel
bombed it. We'll just say explosion at jabelli refugee camp.
And the New York Times said, Yahara Malik, what kind of PR is
this blast at the jabelli refugee camp? I
remember BBC. They had a Palestinian in London, she lost 40
members of her family in Palestine. But the BBC, they
showed this simply, they said, Palestinian Londoner loses 42
family members. So somebody joked and said, Let's send our search
party to find out where they where she lost
them. The point is that we see that PR in terms of what's
happening so CNN and the New York Times, when it came to the ICJ
ruling,
the PR machine went to spin the ICJ ruling as saying that they
didn't find Israel guilty of genocide. John Kirby gave a press
conference in which he said the ICJ ruled that Israel is not
committing a genocide. The ICJ ruled that there's enough evidence
to show they committed a genocide and they should stand trial. But
to be honest, I have to give it to John Kirby, because I think what
he did was very American, and explain
why. I noticed, with Americans, you guys are very good at
branding. You see in my hotel room, I decided I was looking
going through the guy channel, and I saw football, so I thought,
fantastic. And I saw a bunch of men holding a ball with their
hands, throwing the ball with their hands, catching the ball
with their hands, throwing it with their hands, running, catching it
with their hands, and touching down with their hands. And they
said, goal, American football. And I said, Allahu Akbar. The branding
is so powerful that they think this is a hand, and they market it
is, and they think this is a foot, and they marketed this as
football. And no one asks how it's like the Emperor with no clothes.
No one wants to tell the American Football Association that there's
no feet associated with their game. So I understand when John
Kerr.
They have the kicker. They always give that caveat, because there's
one phase of the game, one phase one in which they kick the ball.
They said, Allah. It's like when we play soccer or football, you
know, we have the throw on because we have the throw on. We should
call it handball. That's the logic that it follows over here. So when
I see John Kirby, you know, doing the semantic gymnastics. I think
it's a very American thing to be honest. You know, the the
rebranding of genocide as something that's minor, or the
like Netanyahu, of course, has accused the ICJ of being
antiSemitic, because every criticism Palestine is
antiSemitic. You know, even if you put the Palestine label on
homelessness, antiSemitic, because, you know, so the point
here being is that the ICJ ruling has rattled the US. It's rattled
the Israelis. It's rattled the allies. Why? Because, as this case
continues, the judges will ask the question about how genocide was
made, and they will pursue the road of who provided the weapons
for this genocide to take place, and they will find that genocide
Joe is the one who provided weapons, not only that the court
will discuss over the next five years why Biden decided to off to
go to Congress and ask for $14 billion to give to Egypt and
Jordan to take in Palestinians in order to facilitate the
displacement, something which is quite extraordinary when you think
about so. When I went to sunny, blue sky, sunshine. Sun, Sunny.
La,
of course, it's my first time in America. 2018 was my first time.
And then I came again in November. And to finish off that story, when
I landed in blue sky, sunny LA again. Remember the brothers, they
asked me to come to Chicago.
Now I thought that your domestic flights is like Europe. I can go
to Paris in 35 minutes by plane or two hours by train.
I can go to Germany, to Frankfurt one hour 15 I can go to Croatia
Zagreb in two hours. I can go to Istanbul, the length of Europe, in
three hours.
So when they told me come to Chicago, I didn't know the
geography of America very well. I studied. They were like, we'll pay
for your flight. Bismillah.
When they set the ticket, the ticket says estimated flight time,
four hours.
I thought, maybe something wrong with the ticket. What do you mean?
Four hours to fly, just to Chicago,
and that's a domestic flight with no TV on the plane. They give you
this basic package of we have free Wi Fi. You can access the Wi Fi
and watch on your device, but there are no ports to charge your
phone. My phone dies in an hour,
and this is the worst part. May Allah forgive them, even though I
love them. I love you guys. Allah, I do. And when I came to Chicago,
I came to see you as well, because I didn't want to leave Chicago
without seeing you missing this You did me wrong.
I took off from sunny, blue sky. LA, and I said, I'll thank you so
much West Coast for this beautiful treatment for London. I didn't
realize how starved I was of the sun until I saw you in November.
And Wallahi, I will bring my family here, because they need to
see this, even if it's a long flight. And I took off, and I
said, how wonderful America is, how beautiful America is, how
sunny America is. And then as we're approaching Chicago, the
pilot says, We've begun our descent. Please put your seatbelts
on. And I'm like, I can't see Chicago.
Why there's so many clouds and you can't see anything. The plane is
in the clouds, jumping through the turbulence, you know, like, and
you're like, Oh, yeah. And then while we're in the clouds, the
pilot goes, you can hear the wheels go,
and the pilot goes, camera crew preparing for landing. You're
like, What do you mean? Pray for landing. I can't see anything. And
then, literally, maybe 30 seconds before we hit the runway, Chicago
appears and it's miserable.
I step out of the airport the brothers, they say, Sammy, Welcome
to Chicago. We're so happy to have you here. And I'm the kind of
person who puts his foot in his mouth. Sometimes I won't lie to
you, you know, like I'm not sometimes I'm not dignified in
these things. So I walked in and they say, Sami, welcome. I said,
walla. Brother salah. Hayani, haram. Ali, from shame on you.
Yani, do you mean? How can you pull me out of LA
to bring me to this place for something we could have done via
zoom.
I could have,
you could have told me to come Chicago first, then la Yani, you
know, I'm used to, just to give me a taste of that.
Oh, and then,
in any case, the point of the story is, when I landed in LA,
we're talking about the $14 billion that Congress, that Biden
asked Congress to displace, that will be investigating the ICJ over
the next five years. And it's important that you keep talking
about Philistines so everybody remembers it. Because the only
reason the court was brought, the case was brought to the ICJ, is
because the Ummah was so loud, they shifted public opinion, and
that's what galvanized people to mobilize, including the South
Africans. God bless them. We have so many Muslim countries, so many
Muslim governments, so many constitutions that say Allah, so
many massages.
So many Imams, so many wonderful taraweeh praise, with 1000s of
people praying in this message, not a single one of these nations
thought of bringing the case to the ICJ. It took South Africa, a
non Muslim state, in order to bring it forth,
and may Allah reward them. And I'll tell you why, because South
Africa knows what apartheid feels like, and so they recognize
apartheid when they see it done to the Palestinians and also the
South African apartheid movement. The Muslims played a major role in
supporting Mandela. They were among the leaders as well, because
the South Africans know that when they were going to in order to
fight back against their apartheid, they knew that their
warmest allies were the Muslims as well, who were also South
Africans, who were with them in their ranks, who suffered with
them were imprisoned with them and mobilized with them. And the South
Africans recognize that, and they know the relationship between the
Muslims and South Africa is one of one body, and that's why Masha
Allah, they are standing for the Palestinians, as the Muslims once
stood for South African apart of us, they want stood for South
Africa against apartheid as well. And this, Alhamdulillah, I mean,
shows you that when you do a good deed, it comes back to you.
Alhamdulillah, Rabbi Alamin, back to my story of LA.
So I land in LA, and of course, it's my second time in America,
after having gone to see in the East Coast and gone to see in
Raleigh. And I enjoyed Raleigh, to be honest, but I won't lie to you.
And I enjoyed New York. You know, when you land in New York, I can't
lie to you, you know, I'm sure everybody has the same feeling you
enter Alicia Keys is in your head.
Yeah, concrete jungle. So anyway, you go in. And then when I flew
from New York and the plane took off, I can't lie to you, the plane
took off, and I said to my friend, pay him next to me. If I never
come back to America, I don't think I would regret it.
That was before I came to the west coast.
So anyway, I came to LA and of course, inside you feel like a
five year old. You want to go see the sights of, you know, where you
saw in the movies. You know, I watched Beverly Hills Cop growing
up. So I wanted to go see Beverly Hills.
So I went. I wanted to go see, you know, Hollywood, you know how they
have this wooden sign, H, O, L, L, y, w, O, O, D, and I don't know
why it shows the American branding. It's just how many
letters, H, O, L, L, y, w, O, O, D. It's nine letters on a hill in
a random place in LA. But the branding was so amazing, I had to
go and see it. So I drove because in LA, it's an hour to get to
every place. Our freeway, and the freeways aren't free, it's always
traffic. So you go one hour, and I went up and I saw it, then I went
to Beverly Hills. When I got to Beverly Hills, I was stunned,
because I saw tents lined up in this very rich area. And I said to
my friend, what are these tents? And he said, homeless people. I
said, may Allah, help them. There's only about 10 tenths. Then
I went, there's this area, I think it's like a parking lot, or maybe
like a former station, subway station, and it's loaded with
homeless people.
Biden said to Congress
that, okay, we have homeless people, but is that really a
priority when we have the chance to fund genocide and ethnic
cleansing? Come on, guys, we have 14 billion we have the chance to
fund to solve the homeless problem, or to fund genocide and
ethnic cleansing? Is this even a debate, guys, I need 14 billion to
fund ethnic cleansing.
When I was in Raleigh in 2018 to go for the wedding, we were in the
car, and the bride's brother in law started vomiting in the car.
Now I want to tell you something about how great my lovely city of
London is, and my great nation of the United Kingdom, God save the
king.
If I wake up one morning and I go,
it felt funny. I'm
sure there was a cheesiness to it.
Sumaya to my wife, I think,
just go to the doctor and ask the doctor and get a peace of mind.
Okay?
And I do this, I promise you. I know it's very strange to you
guys, but I call the doctor, doctor. I'll cough this morning.
Who join me to do it by I need to see you
why I think it's serious.
I have a space one week from now. Yeah, that will do that's fine,
but it might get serious in next couple of days. Can we do an E
consult online? Yeah, sure. We can do e consult. Okay, on the E
consult, you exaggerate. So it's usually the next day.
So he says, You have to come in. So you go in. Now listen, I know
it's foreign to Americans, but this is genuinely how it happens
in the UK. So you go to the doctor, and you go, Doctor, I
coughed. He says, show me how.
And you go, and the
doctor says, there's nothing wrong with you. I told him, check. He
goes to me, there's nothing wrong with you. I told him, doctor. I
mean this with the greatest of respect. I asked Google, and
I think it might be cancer, and
I want to get it early so that it doesn't get worse. He tells me,
get the * out of my room.
I tell him, I'm a fine. He goes, you're fine. I get paid.
Peace of mind right over a cough. God bless the National Health
Service, and may Allah protect it from those Tories who are trying
to defund it and get rid of it. Say, Amin. I know you guys don't
have it, but you don't need to be jealous about it. You can say
Amin, so it can be protected for people like me. Okay,
so we're in Raleigh, and the brother starts vomiting in the
car. When
he vomited in the car the first time, his face goes green. We're
like ekhi, as I did with
my let's just go to a doctor and check it out. And he's so
horrified by the suggestion he vomits again.
He actually did vomit again, but not a suggestion.
So we have a couple of doctors with us, a Palestinian doctor,
Omar, Abdel, Hadi Allah,
so Arab the head. He goes, Listen, like he does a bit of what I did
with the Google. He goes, it might be meningitis. You need to at
least go check out, just in case. And I went, yeah, it might be
many, many, what? Many meningitis, yeah.
And I googled it to make sure what it was look serious.
So you've almost the third time. And want me the third time. I'm
not exactly he vomited a third time. And then we were like, You
know what? Forget it was what. We have 999, but you guys, you have
to be funky, so you do 911 right? So 911 I said, no, no. And all the
Americans went, No, no. And we British went, What? What?
Don't call the ambulance.
Why?
No, not one guy went here in America got paid. Yeah, he stingy.
Over $100 dude, a $100 Get an ambulance.
Biden, when he went to Congress, he knows about the health care
problem. Biden said, I have $14 billion in Congress.
Is homelessness, is health care. Congress, you know the priorities
we have a choice between homelessness, health care and
genocide and ethnic cleansing. No brainer. We fund the ethnic
cleansing makes sense. Problem is, however, that the Gallup poll
comes out on the 26th of October, which shows that Biden is behind
in the polls,
and in particular in six swing states
that just so happened to be the swing states where Muslims have
the deciding vote,
Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Michigan, Michigan. Everyone gets
upset when I say Michigan. I'm like, Why do you want to be so
French and pronounce ch the way the French do. Do you know what
the French did in Algeria? It's wrong with you. So, Michigan,
Arizona,
and there are two other states. I don't really laugh, and I'm
serious.
I went to Strasbourg once. And you know, I speak French,
unfortunately. But any case, colonial hangover. So I thought,
You know what, I'd go in and I'd practice my French as well. So I
go in, and this is what sometimes you get this experience when you
go to France. So for example, if you were to speak Arabic, a non
Arabic speaks Arabic, how would the Arab person respond?
Mashallah? Well, sometimes, because I remember no, no to me as
I take it back, Arabs don't respond that way. Because in my
hometown, in city Buzi, in Tunisia, we had a Chinese guy
arrive once, and he walked in and he spoke the best for Saab ever
had. He went into the market. He went, haya kumula in New orledo
Me,
not Tamati, me. And the guy, he goes, I want a bit of very poetic
I would like a piece of bread, and I'd like some tomatoes and
whatever. And Muhammad and the shopkeeper sitting there with his
baby, and went shinui, the Chinese speaks Muhammad. Come in here
every guys, say it again. Say it again. Say it how you
said Allah. And you're
like, Guys, have some shame. What's wrong with you? When I went
to France, I had this, not not the same experience, but the different
one, where you go and you're going to push the cross on civil play.
Can I buy a croissant, please? And the guy will go, I speak English.
Sorry, bro.
You know, we'll do whatever.
So in those six swing states, blink and Biden, they realize that
they're behind in the polls in states where the Muslims have the
deciding vote. Now I'm aware sometimes, and when I say this
because Muslims have been afflicted with this trauma, PTSD,
because they fail to appreciate the victories that Ummah has made
in the past 90 years, such as breaking the hold of colonialism
over much of the Muslim world, such as the Algerians who
liberated Algeria, the Egyptians who liberated Egypt. Kicking out.
The colonial powers didn't leave because they felt guilty. They
didn't wake up one day. The French didn't wake up one day and say,
well, Allah, they'll say, Allah, they said that. You know, you
know, what we did to the Algerians is so bad, we need to leave. The
Algerians kicked them out. The Ummah kicked out the colonizers.
America could not get a military base in the region until 1991 when
Saddam invaded. Kuwait. He made that city decision to invade. I
know everybody likes to say, Yeah, but Kuwait were doing this. Kuwait
were doing that. In any case, Saddam knew when he invaded it
would give the opportunity for the Americans to come in. In any case,
and then you had the Arab Spring. Authoritarian.
Regime is toppling. Many people see chaos as something that
reflects a disaster for the ummah. Chaos means that the power is not
able to subjugate the other. Chaos means that the repressive powers
are unable to fully subjugate those forces that want freedom.
The Chaos means that the people are banging on the door to freedom
and the repressive powers are struggling to shut it, which is
why you have all of that chaos. It's a tough and turbulent
process, but it's better than the repressive, oppressive powers when
they had full power to repress the other side. I would rather have a
balance where freedom can win than one in which the repression is
completely suffocated the freedom movement. In any case, I'm aware
that as a result of the self defeatism and trauma of the Ummah,
I'm aware when Sammy says it, you might not believe it. So I've
brought you, you know, Sahih, like traditions of journalism.
I'm going to bring you Axios, the Israeli paper, and I'm going to
bring you political I think it's European, but anyway, it's a
prestigious thing, so it's not Sammy who's saying it.
Axios said one week ago, two weeks ago, time is a bit of a blur,
because all your domestic flights are more than three hours.
You know, I couldn't believe it. On this particular trip, I flew
Detroit to Arizona, three hours, 56 minutes
domestic flight. They called it the nerve the branding is
phenomenal. Then I flew San Diego to Seattle two hours and a half,
which is London to Tunis.
Then I flew Seattle to Houston, three hours or three hours 50
something, again, another four hour flight. They call that
domestic flight, apparently, which is longer than London to Istanbul.
And then you fly here from Dallas. It's three hours and a half on
Southwestern half the flight is smooth. Half the flight is
turbulence. You feel like the plane is going to fall out the
air. And you think, what on earth possess me to get on a plane in
this place, I want to go home. I didn't actually say I want to go
home. I just shut her head. And
the point is that when you look at those particular swing states,
Axios reported and said if Biden loses, quote, a sliver
of the Muslim vote in these states, Biden loses the election.
Politico said if Biden loses 100,000 votes in Michigan,
Biden loses the state. That's why Biden, on the 28th of October,
came out and said, We don't want that 14 billion to help the
displacement of Palestinians. We are against the displacement of
Palestinians. Now I thought that genocide Joe was lying, because I
know that he lied about the beheaded babies. And then the
White House thought it was too great to lie. They had to come out
and say, Biden didn't mean there was a beheaded babies. He was
actually just repeating what Netanyahu told him, and then Biden
repeated it later on. And you know, May Allah guide them. You
know, May Allah guide them and bless us with good health at that
age. Inshallah,
I didn't say anything. May Allah bless us with Him. May Allah guide
them. I mean that sincerely, may Allah bless us with better state
of health inshallah.
So Biden goes to Netanyahu, and as a result, they need to remarket
and repackage the genocide and ethnic cleansing. Why? Because
Blinken identifies a problem. Blinken identifies the problem in
that when he's looking at those polls, he believes that those
polls are not changing because the Muslim nations have taken any
particular position of the genocide in the beginning, Blinken
is confused. Blinken says, and before I say this part, the views
expressed, once again, belong to the speaker alone and do not
reflect the organization. They did not ask me what I would say. I do
not tell them what I would say. So when they land in Jeddah,
please let them through the beef is between us. Let them do their
ummra.
Let them do their ummah. Let them do what a Hajj and the like, and
whatever. I know you have the concepts. Now in Jeddah, I haven't
said anything to them about the concepts. I'm going to talk about
the concept not Jeddah.
Blinken said that these poles were falling in the polls, not because
the Muslim states have taken any particular position. Blinken told
Netanyahu, I went to Saudi Arabia. I got a fatwa. The chief imam of
Makkah gave a fatwa. He said, Yeah, ibad Allah. Make dua for
Hazrat.
Cry on your DUA if you want as well, to add some extra oomph to
it, but don't talk about it
because it's a fitna that might lead you to turn against your
rulers. So obey your rulers and obey your scholars. And Imam in
Suleiman Raj he mosque in Riyadh came out and said, ya ibad Allah,
we make dua for Gaza, but let's not talk about issues that we know
nothing about. Let's trust that our rulers have more information
than we do so when they do nothing for Gaza and when they bring Jared
Kushner to give a keynote speech in the middle of Genesis, he
didn't actually say that part. That's me. But in any case, that
when our rulers trust that they have the information required and
that they're acting accordingly, because your opinions are like
those of slugs, and the more you talk about it, the more of a.
Didn't you become on your leaders? I have a Turkish friend who was
flying out to Medina, and he sent me a message. I don't know why
he'd send me a message before he goes to Saudi but any case,
he said, Sami, I'm going to Medina,
and I'm sure, I'm sure that they're going to be talking about
Raza. Sami, I don't think that they're going that far, that they
they're not talking about Raza at listen to Akka Allah, go and make
dua. Get to see it again one day Inshallah, he said, I mean, Amin,
abi, Amin, it's Turkish. So he lands, and he sends me the voice
note of the khutbah. I actually have it here for anybody
interested.
Later. He hears the word Razan. He clicks record on his WhatsApp.
Good concentration in the khutbah, mashallah,
the voice note says, from what I heard of it is ya ibad Allah. We
make dua. The Allah sends his patience on Gaza, but ya ibad
Allah, beware the rabble rousers who are using Gaza to turn you
against your leaders. Say, Alhamdulillah for the stability
you have here, and that's because of our leaders. Obey your rulers,
obey your scholars. Don't talk about issues that you don't know.
My wife and I, we run this travel company. My wife likes the idea of
reconnecting the memories of the ummah. So we take people to
different places, Bosnia, Barbados, Uzbekistan, Malaysia,
Korea, Japan, all these other different places. So she gives
talks sometimes at these summits to promote the halal economy and
the Travel Market. Every year she present in Istanbul at the world
at the World Halal Summit. So she went. This year, she met a
Malaysian friend of ours who used to advise the Malaysian
government, and he said to her one day over dinner, he said that to
in front of the group, they were talking about Saudi and talking
about the videos and saying, is Sammy okay? Is he safe? Is he
this? Does he go near the embassy? She said, No, he doesn't go
anywhere
near it. Wow. I need to stop doing Allah. They actually didn't ask
that. I wasn't a joke. But in any case, I get, I don't like it when
people ask that question. In any case, he told Sumaya, my wife, he
said, Tell Sammy that I'm going to Umrah in December. And I've
received the WhatsApp message that says that we have, we have been
asked by the Saudi authorities not to bring kefirs, not to bring Free
Palestine stickers, and not to record ourselves making dua for
Gaza. I told the sumer every time I do a video telling the Ummah
what bin Salman is doing, I get a backlash for the first two months
and then apologies for the two months afterwards. I'm not in the
mood for a backlash at the moment, come back from Turkey first,
because Erdogan wants to make peace with Vincent man. And also,
when you're on the train on the tramway, please stop talking to me
in Arabic. There are racist attacks taking place. Speak in the
poshest English that you know you're half English. They have an
inferiority complex to English, but they might do some duty to
speak Arabic. I beg you. Speak to me in the poshest English that you
have, like the way you've seen those period dramas Downtown Abbey
and these ones, she said, oh, dear husband, okay.
She actually did,
May Allah guide attacks inshallah
say. I mean, I'm in that sincere, honest.
So when I was in sunny, blue sky, lovely sunshine. La, on this
beautiful west coast, I was at a dinner, and I said we were talking
about it. And I said, guys, I heard a rumor that the Saudi
authorities are saying, no kefirs, no Free Gaza stickers, no
whatever. I said, That'd be ridiculous. Have been said, man,
does it? That's mad, you know, but I haven't seen any proof. They
were like, Wait, here it is Habibi, and I'm going in December.
Here is the message. And I read the WhatsApp message, and it says
it's with a heavy heart that will inform me that we've been told,
etc. So I did what semi does. I went and did a podcast about And
Alhamdulillah. I got backlash from Saudis,
apparently. Now it's being implement. The rule is being
implemented, not on Western Muslims, because they're a bit too
loud, but on Eastern Muslims, those who perhaps you know, might
listen a bit more, which is why some of you will be able to go and
wear your kefirs, and some of you will find yourselves under
pressure. Alhamdulillah, I'd like to take some credit for it in at
least, you rattle the government a bit. And I like to think that if
the Ummah was louder about these issues, I think they will reverse
those policies entirely. But unfortunately, many of the Ummah,
they believe that Islam is about going to Mecca and Medina, not
about standing up for what's right. They believe Islam is about
living a life where you can pray five times in the masjid and make
dua, even when the person next door is funding a genocide in
Sudan, you want to go make Hijra to a country where it has Islamic
schools, even if the government of that particular country is using
your presence in that country to say that we are massacring the
Ummah elsewhere, but these Muslims are saying we have a good Muslim
life over here. Let them live their Muslim life while I continue
to do what I want to do elsewhere. Let the Ummah be Ummah that stays
in the masajid that never leaves the maserjid that celebrates the
masurgy and stays in it and makes the masajid solely for ibadah. Let
this ummah be an ummah where they read in the Sira that the masjid
were the center of community in everything, whether it's to do
with the fate of the state. Let the Ummah read that Khalid Ibn
Walid was demoted by umm Abu Khattab in the masjid. Let the
Ummah read that the Sahaba used to discuss the next plans in the
masjid. Let the Ummah read about that. Say.
Celebrate it, but never, ever do it in the masajid. Let them make
it so that where Sahaba made the masjid the Center for everything,
let the or let this ummah be that the masjid is mainly for ipada and
not to talk about anything else. And I respect American law. I know
American law is very similar to that. So I'm not saying them that
they should make it a center. I'm just saying that the Ummah has
become an ummah sometimes where perhaps it values the rituals over
the very substance of Islam, which is that they stand up for justice.
Because for those Americans listening, there's actually an
interesting point the companions of the Prophet sallallahu, alayhi
wa sallam, only a minority of them are buried in Medina. The majority
are buried outside of Medina, because their interpretation of
Islam was to go out and stand for justice. Was to go out and spread
the deen was to go out and take action while the ummah of today
wants to go back in. They want to say, mashallah Sahabah went out
and I want to go back in. So it's a very strange my ummah of today,
sometimes they read the Sira, but do the opposite of what they read.
They read the Hadith and celebrate it, but do the opposite, but it is
what it is. And maybe if you have some branding tips for me, you can
help me out, inshallah to convince them otherwise. I mean, you made
the handball, football and that stuff, so you can help me out with
inshallah. In any case,
Blinken told Netanyahu that we have the Muslim nations. I got the
fatwa from Abdul Rahman Al sudas
and all of the durus in Saudi are, obey your ruler. Obey they don't
talk about Razak because it's a fitna UAE gave us a statement that
blamed the Palestinians for what happened. Abdullah bin Zayed
tweeted, I spoke to my good friend Blinken. Two hours later, UAE
issued a statement that we are blaming the Palestinians, and then
they panicked a bit when there was a backlash. So they were the first
to send aid to Raza, and now, when they got frustrated with
Netanyahu, they were also the first to send in CNN to see what's
happening in Gaza, because bin Zayed said, look, listen, I'm
getting a lot of backlash from my ummah. I don't know if he
considers his OMA, but in any case, I'm getting a lot of
backlash from these Muslims. I'm getting a lot of backlash from the
Western Muslims. People are very loud about my role. I want
Netanyahu to go. I want to put him under pressure. I'm going to bring
CNN in the hope that they might force Netanyahu to be toppled, so
that another Israeli leader can come to power, so that the Muslims
can get off my back and I can continue normalization without the
pressure of them telling me that I have to do something.
So Blinken when he goes to Netanyahu, Netanyahu says, What's
the problem? I don't understand the Muslim nations. Netanyahu
gives a speech. He says, We thank our friends for understanding our
position. His friends went America. He was talking about the
Muslim leaders.
He actually was. He said, barakallah. He didn't say, but
ALA, forgive him in any case.
So when Blinken goes and says to him, Blinken identifies and says,
the issue is not the Muslim leaders.
The issue is 1.9 billion Muslims won't stop talking about Aza
1.9 billion Muslims won't stop talking about Philistine,
which means the algorithm, which used to promote certain raunchy
figures and love Island and Kanye West and his troubles with former
wives and stuff like that. Instead, now the algorithms are
all promoting Palestinian content. Blinken said before, Palestine was
the issue limited to the Muslims, but now Sarah Dave, Michael Smith,
Jeremy, Joe.
Any more names?
Bob, Peter. You
know, it's funny that Bob thing I met Imam Tom fakini.
So while I'm talking to me, just said, I mentioned his name a
couple of times, and he went, Yeah, Tom, Tom. Is that? What's
wrong with it? He goes, it's just here. They call me Tom. I said,
Well, let me tell you, as an English person, it's Tom. He goes,
whoever makes you happy, bro.
In any case, Lincoln said that as a result of the Ummah being so
loud, the Ummah refusing to talk about it, the algorithm is now
favoring Palestinian content, and that's changing people's minds,
because we're falling in the polls over an issue where American
troops aren't even on the ground. We're falling in the polls because
they genuinely don't like our policy. So Bibi. Bibi is
Netanyahu, his nickname. May Allah never give us any symbolic names.
Can you imagine if you had Nick? Oh, please no nicknames like that.
Yara, Yara, don't let me make a verbal mistake while I'm speaking
with someone grabs onto it and attaches to me a label that I
don't like. Yeah. Gula, Amin, hula. Amin, those who don't say, I
mean, may Allah give you a
nickname.
In any case, Netanyahu says to Blinken, says to Netanyahu,
according to Axios, according to Axios, the elevated source that we
need a new marketing strategy for genocide and ethnic cleansing. He
said, what's the marketing strategy? He said, instead of
saying we're committing genocide against these animals, why don't
we send them a letter, a very nice, cute letter, where we tell
them, Listen, we're coming to bomb your home and take your land they
want. Land. They want to build a nice Red Sea resort on it, or
Mediterranean resort is my geography. I'm in America. It gets
muffled. Sometimes we
want to build a nice resort on it, but we
want to give you an opportunity, four hours a day to leave your
house and to be and to leave
now you.
If you don't leave or kill you, but we thought we're just going to
be nice and give you four hours if you want to leave, and we'll let
you leave through a humanitarian corridor under the protection of
the Israeli army. The
problem is Axios reports that Netanyahu responded and said, Hang
on. Hang on, hang on. Why have you gone from not calling for a
ceasefire or a cause to now calling for a humanitarian cause?
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Inna fiqhal, be in my heart. There is
something strange. I smell a plot over here. Is this Biden trying to
lure me into a ceasefire, like in May 2021, Allah, Subhanahu Taala
says in the Quran that you think the hearts are united, but kuruba,
hum shatta, the hearts are divided. That's why, when the
humanitarian pause was implemented, Biden, when he came
off the plane, he was asked, he said, It's it came late, but at
least it came expressing the frustration with Netanyahu. But
the point of this particular part of the story about Allah is what
made, what made Blinken shift from wholehearted support to a genocide
to arguing for a humanitarian pause, to pushing for a hostage
truce, to pushing for a sustainable ceasefire, and now
talking about a low intensity, and now offering a two month truce to
Hamas.
Was it Saudi Arabia? No. Was it UAE? No. Was it Turkey's Erdogan,
where trade between Turkey and Israel has increased apparently
30% since the start of the genocide, because Erdogan believes
he has an economic crisis, because for 20 years, interest rates went
up, and he was putting the interest rates up. And then one
day he woke up, I think maybe because he's worried about his
later age, getting closer to Allah, he woke up one day and said
that it was Halal in the 20 years, and now it's haram. I need to
bring it back down. And he crushed the currency. As a result, when he
crushed the currency, Erdogan said, I need my economic crisis.
You know, there are still the tax there. You know, it was very tough
election, very difficult election, and I need to work to take care of
my economy. I've reconciled with UAE. I told them, please, taala,
let's reconcile. Please, please. And the UAE said, halal is 50
billion, and let's reconcile together. And they said, harder,
50 billion, Barak, allahufi, and we will not talk about UAE at all.
They went to Saudi Crown Prince. They told them, yes, simul, Amir,
please. Like, we're sorry about hasho, like we'll throw the case
out. We'll throw it out of the courts, and we'll invite you to to
to Ankara as well. And Bin Salman took advantage, if you notice,
when he landed in Ankara to meet Erdogan. The the they have this
tradition when a leader comes, where the general, where the
soldiers, they stand, and the leaders supposed to say, meraba
Askar, you know, welcome so and they go
in Salman, the Wiley Fox. He walks in. Instead of saying, me ask her,
he says, as the soldiers go,
because he wanted an image to show that Erdogan claims to be a
Sultan. But they don't even know how to respond to Alikum salah.
They know how to respond to Salaam Alaikum. Very cheeky play for
somebody who's just introduced alcohol to Saudi Arabia. Yeah,
really like Mashallah. You know, it's
in any case,
the pay the people who brought this change from no ceasefire to
humanitarian ports to hostage truce, to sustainable ceasefire,
to low intensity warfare, to this offer of truth from the Israelis
to Hamas. What brought it about was public opinion, and this is
where I enter the tail end of the talk, because I won't go on for
too long, because people have complained sometimes that there's
never a Q and A because I go on for too long. So I promise this
time I'll show due respect and leave it for if you have
questions, they say that when there are questions, it means you
didn't do a good job in addressing the points. In any case, points.
In any case, it's an indictment whenever there are so many
questions. In any case, the point is that when you look at the
situation as it's unfolding today, it's true that we're seeing a
genocide unfolding. It's true we're seeing an ethnic cleansing
unfolding, but yay, ibad Allah, when you look at the ICJ ruling,
do you think that Israel wanted to see an iCj ruling like that. No.
Do you think that Biden is happy that he's falling in the polls
over the Palestine Israel issue? Do you think that Israel is happy
that it spent billions on a PR, that the Ummah broke for free? Do
you think Israel is happy that it seemed you know whether that
spokesman the one who threatened the ITV, but I don't know if
you've seen it, the ITV presenter says, in the UK, ITV is a
sophisticated channel in the United Kingdom, it's not like your
channels here in America where, you know, I can't lie to you. I
see in the hotel room sometimes, and I think, let me just watch
American channels. Oh my God, you will not believe what happened
today, something about Walmart or something, whatever, you know, it
gets you excited and then gives you a deflated news, you know,
gets you geared up. Oh, my God, something Fox News. Oh, and just
breaking in. It's, it's a hot weather today. And, you know, I
remember, I remember in 2018 when I came to New York, I was in JFK
Airport, and I went to pick up a car, to rent a car to drive to
Washington, because I heard road trips are really good. And also, I
didn't really want to. Really want to fly. I don't like flying, so I
told my friends, let's go on a road trip, because it's beautiful.
That ride is not really as beautiful as anyone thinks it is.
This part is beautiful, like West Coast. It's lovely, especially,
was it a PPH, 1p, 1p, pch, I said. PH like, it's a science thing,
you know? Yeah.
Masha, Allah, you know, Allah, may You know you guys conquer the
world the Liberty you know your your branding is everywhere. You
know your Oreos taste like they're a Deaf wish they don't taste like
our Oreos. Your Fanta is just too orange for me to drink. You know,
like, I think in the in the UK, we have more stringent laws. The
point is, when I was in New York, to give an example of the
headlines, when I picked up the car and I'm walking through, I
dropped my bags, and I rushed to the TV, and the guards went like
that, and they said, Excuse me, what are you doing? And I
panicked, because I realized, Wait, I'm in America. You can't
just drop your bags like that. And I was like, kfcs run out of
chicken. They said, What? I said, look, the headline is there, you
know, CNN, KFC runs out of chicken. And I thought, only in
America,
only in America. American dream. In any case, when you look at the
fact that Biden is now concerned, and you look at Levy, the ITV
channel, there's a presenter. He talks to the spokesman of Israel,
and he says that, but it didn't all begin on October 7, did it?
And the Israeli spokesman says, I warn you against contextualizing
October 7 a really nasty threat, basically saying, I will make you
lose your job if you try to make this a serious discussion and
debate about what actually happened on October 7. The reason
he threatened him so publicly and not in a sophisticated way, is
because all of their sophistication has been broken by
you. All of their ability to have this sophisticated control over
the narrative has been broken by you. When I went back to the Akane
podcast, because someone made a joke these Americans, they said he
finished his podcast and picked up this very English teacup and he
drank his tea, I was like, what teacup are they talking about? So
I thought, let me go back and see the video. What tea cup they're
talking about, so I can buy another one. In any case, before
the yakin podcast came up, IDF, Adva.
So I thought, I need to do pahara. I need to so I'm going to listen
to Saru, to sharim, Surah Paha, which is the surah his melody in
in his his recitation when I was 16 years of age is what really got
me into the Quran. When I listened to it before I was just praying,
you know, like, if dad wasn't watching, you just do turbo.
After that Surah, I took my prayers very seriously, especially
because, you know, when you memorize a big Surah as a
teenager, there's a bit of prestige to it, because all your
friends are just reading call out of Rabbi Ness, melikin Ness, and
then you come out and you go, all of a book, umayyah, Musa.
Genuinely, you feel you start, and they're like, Sammy, you know, you
take way too long in prayers. Now, I'm like, It's surah. Paha. It's a
long surah.
I was a teenager. Don't judge me on it, but teenagers, honestly, it
gives you a bit of prestige amongst your friends. I would
encourage it anyway. And Shreem is very easy to memorize his narma is
his melody and the like. Although in recent times, I've taken a
great love for Sudanese macomet When they read, you know, like a
no rain Alhamdulillah. I mean Rahman or Rahim, Maliki, omidina.
Can Abu do a canister in a surah told Mr. Rana, and I'm telling
him, I will be a him one of
and he holds this breath for the whole way. And you go,
beautiful Sudanese, Nah man,
when I open soda shalim to make Tahara from seeing the IDF advert,
it's like the IDF wanted to do the
Bismillah for me, because it popped up before. So for those of
you who know social media advertising, for those of you who
know social media advertising, you'll know that in order to get
an advert on things that are unrelated to the issue, you need
to spend a * of a lot of money. You need to spend a lot of money
like I remember when I first started Facebook adverts, many
years when I was trying to start the international interest to make
it spread. You make it spread. And I'll be like, I want it to be
popular in America, UK, English speaking countries, Malaysia, this
place. And I would just watch the reach go like, bigger and bigger
and bigger, but the price go higher, higher, higher, higher. I
said, I can't afford this. And then eventually you can only
really afford to spread the message within your area of
London.
So for them to spend that much money shows that they spent
billions in order to restore control over the narrative. Even
the channels that brought the Palestinians, they were stunned,
because this generation of Palestinians are eloquent in
English. They're able to present their case, and they were able to
push back on that. Do you condemn hummus? Do you condemn hoo?
Condemn hummus. Until now, it's become absolutely irrelevant,
because everybody now is focused on the genocide. The Israelis are
realizing that the ones who are moving the goalposts of the
narrative are no longer the Israelis. The ones who are
controlling the narrative are no longer the Israelis. The ones who
are controlling the narrative are 1.9 billion Muslims amplifying the
voice of the Palestinians, responding to the call to the
Palestinians. They are tweeting. They are sharing. They are doing
their Tiktok. They are breaking the algorithm. They are absolutely
it's so stupendously popular that the Al is penetrating all the
bubbles of the algorithm that it makes a girl in LA. You remember
when I started, I said the West Coast, and I mean this sincerely,
with the greatest of respect to you, if the Earth was flat, this
would be where the end of the earth is.
Because all the world lives next to each other on the other side of
the world. Like I said, England, France, Germany, you guys have to
fly at least six hours before you even get to the Atlantic. In any
case, the point being is that a girl in LA says she grew up in a
Zionist environment, never having seen Palestinian voices. But as a
result of Tiktok HAFA, the Allahu Aha, say Amin, because if you
don't say Amin, it says, if you prefer the narrative be controlled
by BBC and CNN, wala allahuman, never let them control the
narrative. Ya Rameen, a Zionist girl on Tiktok, says, as a result
of Tiktok, hafallah kamaha, as a result of Tiktok, I finally heard
Palestinian voices, and she says, I can't unsee what I've seen, and
I'm dedicating my channel now to Palestinian content to talk about
Philistine another girl says, You know what? I want to understand,
because I've been seeing videos of Palestinians that have been
amplified by the ummah of 1.9 billion that broke the algorithm
and broke the bubbles of the Tiktok algorithms, which means
that the Palestinian content reached every single handheld
phone in the world. She says, I want to understand. I've been
watching these videos of Palestinians. They're being bombed
and killed. But they keep saying, has one Allahu. AK, they keep
saying, in Allah, who own? They keep saying, everything belongs to
Allah, Subhanahu. Wa and we will continue to struggle, and we will
continue to resist. I want to know where they get their resilience
from. And they keep quoting these passages from the Quran. So I'm
going to o use my Tiktok, and we're going to go through pages of
the Quran together. You my audience every day. We're going to
do so. One week later, she says, La Ilaha, illallah, Muhammad, Al
Rasul Allah, and I saw with Haifa Yunus at one of the conventions,
people looking and looking at Raza, and while our hearts weep
and our hearts are breaking, and while some of us in the audacity
of some of us to call the Palestinians weak, when the world
is so taken by their strength, so taken by their resilience, that
the number of people entering Islam just over the past three
months is phenomenal, because they don't see weakness in the
Palestinians. They see absolute strength and resilience. And they
say, I want to be like those Palestinians. I want to learn the
resilience of these Palestinians. And they are the conclusion that
they are coming to Subhanallah, the conclusion they are coming to.
Why do they open the Quran? Because they the conclusion they
come to is this resilience is not a genetic thing. This resilience
is a Quranic Islamic thing, and that's why they enter Islam,
because they are searching for the resilience that the Palestinians
have, that they have concluded can only come from Allah, Subhanahu wa
taala, what a blessed people may Allah, accept the Shuhada.
That's why ya. Ibad Allah, beware when you say the Ummah is weak.
Beware when you say the Ummah is in a state of weakness. You might
be weak, and therefore you're projecting it on Ummah, but the
Ummah has actually never been weak. Ibad Allah, I used to
believe the Ummah was weak. I used to believe the Ummah was weak. I
used to sit in London in my very comfortable home, hamdullah,
because my father, mashallah, was an activist, and he established a
media company later, and he raised me, and he taught me everything I
know about politics. He used to merge politics and Deen. He made
it very seamless for me. Whenever any problem would happen, he'd
tell me something about Hadith or about the Sira. So by the time I
became 2021, years of age. It was just natural to attach the seerah
to everyday problems. I know some people have said that that seems
to be a very like unique thing with alike. It's not a unique
thing in my house. If you're impressed with what I have to say,
You have not met Muhammad Al Hashim al Hamdi, my father, who is
my teacher, who raised me and taught me how to do it. In any
case,
when you look at the way
that they're turning towards the deen in Islam, the Ummah has never
actually been weak. So when I thought the Ummah was weak,
I went to Bosnia. I read Ali aziba, which his book inescapable
questions. And I was fascinated to discover Muslims in the heart of
Europe who had been Muslim for 700 800 years, and I they were
ethnically Europeans, and they were still holding on to Islam. So
a Bosnian friend of mine said, I'd love to show you Bosnia, let's
make it a lad strip. I said, lads, trip cool. We rent a car and we
just go. We in Europe. What you can do is, unlike here in America,
where you can only you're in the same country, and you have to
drive 50 hours just to get from one coast to the other 50 hours in
Europe will take you from London all the way to Riyadh and Jeddah
or that kind. So when you go to Bosnia, you can go Bosnia,
Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia, all in the space of 10
days, value for money. In any case, when I landed in Bosnia and
I got to discover the Bosnians, I finally got to hear their story,
based on what I read on Aliyah begovich. I was able to engage in
some conversation, some facts, and I got to ask them about it. And I
discovered that the Bosnians, they have a masjid in Sarajevo called
the lazy Hus rebe Masjid. Now, sometimes when we take our groups,
we take them to the Razia hust and then they go in two minutes and
they come out. And I realize why they go in two minutes and they
come out because they don't know the story of.
Azerbaijab stands in 1532 in the middle of SA says, Allahumma, have
no kids, but I'm going to leave behind this Waqf, this masjid,
this madrasa and this library. Allah, please accept it for me,
for Yamal qayama, because I don't have kids to make dua for me.
Afterwards, the Ottomans are kicked out of Bosnia in the 1600s
maybe early 1700s if I get my dates wrong, Allah Keri, we can go
and research it. The point is that after the Ottomans are kicked out,
Islam continues in the heart of Bosnia. They don't give it up,
proving that it was not spread by the sword. The Austro Hungarians
shut down a few mosques, but they don't shut down the vasi huzra Bay
mosque. Then the Yugoslavian Kingdom eventually emerges, and
they do a census where they identify that the Muslims are
identifying as Muslims first, not their ethnicity. So they say this
is quite problematic for our Yugoslav identity. So to prevent
these Muslims from organizing, we're going to divide their areas
into nine banvien as nine provinces, and we're going to make
sure that Muslims are the minority in each of these provinces, so
that they're unable to organize together.
In 1938 under the communist regime. One of the philosophers is
asked to address the Muslim question.
The answer to the Muslim question is to shut down Muslim
associations, execute half of the student leaders, put the rest in
hard labor, Ban the Quran. Ban the manifestation of the deen, Ban the
hijab, and essentially repress the Muslim minority in Bosnia. The
Bosnians don't give out. The Bosnians don't give up. The
Bosnians keep teaching the Quran. All the Bosnians have to do to get
comfort is give up La ilaha illAllah Muhammad Rasulullah, and
go to their ballet dances and go do whatever the Yugoslav communist
regime want them to do. If they give up la ILA, Muhammad
Rasulullah, they won't be persecuted. The Bosnians refuse to
do so.
In 1980s Yugoslavia collapses. Bosnia is formed in 1988 1989 as
Yugoslavia collapses, the Muslims form their own state, and Aliyah
is in Begovic says, because his tolerance comes from Islam, not
from white supremacist Europe, which used to massacre the Jews or
the like, we are going to establish a nation where all
religions live together, and the Muslims will be the majority. The
Serbs invade and they commit a genocide and they commit an ethnic
cleansing.
1995 the Muslims are still in Bosnia, and even today, Islam is
still preserved. The Ghazi huzra Bay mosque remains standing. Since
1532
the Ummah has never been weak. You look at Turkey. Ataturk comes to
power, imposes secularism and tells the military to do a coup on
everybody who threatens to re Islamize the Turkish state.
They ban the printing of the Quran. They execute scholars. They
imprison the others. They turf the others. They massacre the Kurds,
who come to revolt because they want to re establish Islam. And as
a result, Adnan mandere eventually comes to power. 1960s restores the
Adan. They do a military coup. 1980 they do a military coup
again. 1997 ibkan comes to power. They do a coup again. Why?
Because, despite the ban on hijab, despite the ban on Quran, despite
the ban on Hadith, despite the ban on women having education if they
were hijab, the Muslims refused to give up la Illa Allah, Muhammad
rasulallah, even though, if they give it up, they will live a life
of comfort, they say, We would rather struggle. They give up la
illallah, Muhammad Rasulullah. 1997 ibakan comes to power.
There's a coup, and then 2003 they break the system completely. They
deliver Erdogan to power. Turkey is unrecognizable from the days of
Ataturk, because now it's haven for the Muslims. The Ummah has
never actually been weak. Rather, it is the Ummah has been
unappreciative
of the fact that Allah decides the outcome as he wishes, how he
wishes, and when he wishes. And therefore the Ummah is
dissatisfied with the way that Allah conducts his own affairs.
And therefore they believe, if it's not an outcome that they
want, there must be something horribly wrong with it.
That's why ibad Allah, when you look at the impact that you've had
on Ghazal Palestine, let's be brutally honest here.
The ones who forced Biden to buckle is you the one who made
Macron call for a ceasefire. Is you the one who made the Deputy
Prime Minister of Belgium call for sanctions against Israel. Is you
the one that made it possible for the ICJ to hear the case. Is you
the one who made it impossible for Biden to rescue Israel from the
ICJ. Is you the one who made the CNN presenter apologize for giving
24 hour coverage to unsubstantiated allegations of
beheaded babies? Was you? I asked the elders, have you ever seen a
media presenter apologize for their coverage of Ghazal
Palestine?
Never,
in the space of three months we saw BBC, CNN and these others
apologize for their coverage. Do you think they apologized because
Biden asked them? Do you think they apology because Netanyahu
said, guys, I know, come and get genocide, but be fair in your
media coverage. They apologized because they received such
backlash on social media that they got concerned by how many people
were told by Ghazal Palestine, and therefore they decided that they
needed to apologize in order to rescue themselves. Moving forward
now, yay. Ibad Allah, I said,
this is where I wrap up. 25 minutes ago, somebody made a joke
that when semi says it, he's going to talk for another 50 minutes. I
promise five minutes and I'm done.
Moving forward, yay. Ibad Allah Biden was asked, Are you concerned
that you're going to lose the Muslim vote?
He said, Why should I worry? The other side is Trump. He wants to
put Muslim ban
because Biden believes that the comfort of the West Coast is so
valuable and so comfortable. And I've seen your houses with some
increase you and increase you in the resources that you have. I
confess that when I went home to London and I entered the house and
my family greeted me. Sumeya said to me, what's wrong? You look like
I'm happy to be home. She goes and what's wrong? I feel
claustrophobic.
Everything feels so tight in London.
Biden believes that the comforts that you enjoy
are such that you will not sacrifice them at all to punish
him for a genocide.
Biden believes that for you to see Trump on TV says horrible things
is something is a scenario that is so horrible for you that you will
forgive Biden for the genocide. The reason why I put it that way
is not to mock you in any way whatsoever. It's mainly to
gaslight you and emotionally blackmail. You know, it's not
that, it's partly that, but it's not that, you know you can cut
that out later. In any case, the
point that I'm saying is this,
let's suppose the worst case scenario happens. No, the worst
case scenario is genocide, drug it's a second term. But in any
case, let's suppose the second worst case scenario happens,
which is Trump comes to power.
But Allah, let's do a comparison here.
Is Trump going to send somebody to seize you home and give it to
white supremacists?
Is Trump going to deploy the army to commit a genocide against you?
Is Trump going to oppose the Muslim ban and make it so you
can't see Sammy for four years, likely, but don't miss me too
much. I promise. I'll come after four years, and I won't be too
upset about it either, even though I might miss America. But I've
seen nearly all of it now. I've been through I think I've been to
nearly every single state. I'm probably more American than most
of you here, to be honest. You know Mashallah. I've driven across
mashallah and I've been to Mississippi and Tennessee and New
York, and, you know, I've been to California and Seattle. You know,
Seattle was a very interesting experience. I have to say, I
didn't realize it was the world capital of America. My goodness,
they made it very clear.
They made it very clear mashallah, it's a very beautiful city, but in
my opinion, one of the most beautiful city. Most beautiful
cities in America have been to mashallah, even though it was
raining. But I don't mind the rain, because I'm from London.
Like I said, five days a summer. I thought it was beautiful Seattle.
I think everybody should visit it. I don't know about living there,
but visit it, yeah. The point is that when you look at the worst
thing that Trump will do, it reminds me a lot of I have my
brother Yusuf. He's a businessman in Tokyo and mashallah, successful
one speaks Japanese, fluid. Very strange experience. When you go to
Tokyo, he's next to you. He'll be like you. I told him, Yusuf, I
want to have halal ramen. I want to have Japanese food. I don't
want this fob off, you know? He said, Okay, we'll go Japanese
restaurant and we'll get ramen, and we'll go get halal ramen. So
he's ordering for me, you know? Now they also this guy. Do you
want to catch up with that, yeah, like a ketchup I like to use, if
that wasn't Japanese, like that wasn't, it's a very so anyway,
Yusuf, one day, we were sitting talking to each other, and I said
to me, Yusuf, you know what? Hayata Tuni Hadiya, it's not all
about money. Like, there's more to life than money. He told me, Sami
Wallahi, you're right. I promise I accept that you're right. But I
would rather cry in a Mercedes than your Toyota Yaris.
And I feel like, when with this Trump conundrum, it's very similar
to that,
because the reality is this, ay bad Allah, the fact that the
Democrats believe that genocide,
that genocide, is not important enough to you to make you do
something to punish genocide. Joe shows you how little they regard
you.
The fact that he's still more worried about the Zionist bloc
vote than losing the Muslim vote. The fact that the Democrats are
saying that the Muslims will forget by November,
shows you how much they hold you in this day. Now, right now, I
assume sometimes congress people, they come to see right now, here's
how I imagine they do it. Usually the congress people don't actually
research Islam before they come
because in history, only two minorities have every have ever
demonstrated an ability to punish candidates. One is the Zionists,
and the other is the black caucuses. Muslims have never
really punished anyone. Muslims have delivered candidates like
they delivered bush in Florida, but they've never really punished
candidates, which is why, when you tend to vote tend to vote for
someone, they tend to betray you very soon afterwards. That's the
difference.
This is the first time in American history where the Muslims have a
chance to show their ability to punish a candidate.
This is the first time that the Muslims have the ability to punish
a sitting US President.
Now, when the Congress person comes to you because you never
punished anyone, they don't do the research beforehand. They do the
research in the car they're driving towards the masjid, and
they will say to their assistant, I want to wow these Muslim
audiences. What can I say to wow them? And the Secretary will go
things Muslims do.
And.
They gotta. They got a greeting. It's uh
assamecom. Sam, amakam, Sam, Mako, all right,
Sam, I make him everybody, and everybody goes Mashallah. It's
actually Assalamu alaikum. But, you know, but Asmaa may come is
fine, or if he comes to you in aid, he'll be like, Mubarak, Eid.
And you were like, it's aid Mubarak, but thank you so much for
coming. Thank you for giving us the time of day. Thank you so much
for coming. I'm not saying that's what you guys do here. I'm not
saying that. I'm not saying that. I'm saying I've seen Mercedes do
it other Mercedes.
That's when you guys don't have the ability to punish now, I
reckon, I reckon, I reckon. And hear me out on this. I reckon
that if Muslims punish a sitting US president, the views expressed
are the speaker's own.
I'm going back to London. I hope he let me through the border
again. But I promise, it's just my opinion. They and it has nothing
to do with the organization. They are innocent. I'm the
I reckon that if Muslims punished a sitting US president,
I reckon that when I see a live stream of you guys praying
taraweeh praise next year, I'll find the Congress person praying
in the back.
I reckon that the next time the Congress person
comes to this, Masjid, he would have done his research in such a
way that he will stand before you like this, and he will say,
and everybody, we got a tough, you know, ride ahead and you know, we
got to stay together for our causes and Our principles.
Because, as the Prophet Muhammad said in MLM, it.
And for those and genuinely and another one might come and say,
Guys, the road ahead is tough. It's tough the road ahead. But as
the Prophet Muhammad would say in Amal Sri yushra,
very much possible. Didn't Biden say, Inshallah, and everybody went
wild. Didn't Biden say Inshallah, and everybody went wild. Where do
you think he learned inshallah from? Because they told him
Muslims like these references, but you're not important enough for
him to learn beyond inshallah. But if you punish a sitting US
president, if you show the ability to punish the Congress, person
will fear that you have the ability to punish, and therefore
he needs to take you seriously.
But if a seeking US president commits a genocide and wins a
second term, because the Muslims say that, yeah, they committed a
genocide. But, and I know these imams are going to emerge very
soon, not the Imams here. I don't know what they think. They didn't
tell me. And these are my views, and nobody else's, but you'll get
some wise guys who come later on, before September, they'll say,
Yeah, I bad. Allah, be calm and think carefully. Yes, there was a
genocide,
but we are making an application for parking for the masjid
Yai bad, Allah, think carefully, yes, they committed the genocide,
but
I won't be invited to the White House. Iftar,
yeah, I bad. Allah, yes, they committed the genocide,
but
you'll be like, but what? But,
but you know, but you know what? Let's think calmly, not
emotionally. Why are muslims so emotional? A
woman in Atlanta to be a bit serious. She stood up after I gave
a talk in Atlanta, after I'd finished, and she said to me,
Sammy, you know you're here at the wrong time. What do you mean?
You're here at the wrong time. She said to me, all of these people
here will forget by September.
They need somebody to remind them, because when the fever of the
genocide leaves, people will start to look and say, Do I really want
to suffer four years of Trump? But ya? Ibad Allah, there is a
wonderful tweet that I saw by an American Sudanese activist called
Hindi,
where she said, So Kamala Harris gave a video where she said, we're
launching the first campaign to counter Islamophobia.
Allah. Allah, do you
think that she's doing it because she actually feels for you? She's
doing
it because the Democrats got together and they said that these
muzis are angry like they're really now I'm calling muses
because they won't give you the respect to call you Ma. To call
you Muslims.
I should be serious. I don't know what's wrong with you
people. They're saying, let's throw them a bone that they can
chew on. And then they sent an email out. Trump wants to put the
Muslim ban, but we stand against it. So I struggled for a bit. I
was racking my brains, how do I address this? How do I address
this? How do I address this? Not because I have any involvement.
I'm a UK citizen. I'll be leaving inshallah for whatever, and I'd
like to visit America again with, you know, sha Allah. I know I
didn't plead in the embassy, but I've grown to love America. So,
you know, I'd like the opportunity to come back and try the food
scene in Houston and the food trucks in.
New York skyline is nice. When you go in. It's not so great, but the
skyline is lovely mashallah, and I'd love to come to sunny
California in the winter. Inshallah, with the lovely
sunshine and the Pacific ocean and the beach and the halal areas are
really nice.
The point is that
she put the tweet out after they sent an email saying, Trump wants
to be a Muslim ban. And she said, I want to inform the Democrats
that we Muslims survived four years of Trump.
20,000 Palestinians did not survive four years of Biden
Abad Allah. Let me put it to you quite bluntly. You have two bad
choices in November unless ALLAH intervenes and does something
because Allah is always in charge of affairs. I'm only analyzing
based on what's in front of me, but I'm aware Allah can change the
situation as he wishes. But supposing that your choices in
November are between Trump and Biden. You are regardless of who
wins, you're in for a tough four years. But the only choice that
you really have in November is this, you can live four years with
dignity in that you punish the sitting US president, and you show
the world that if they commit a genocide, there's no way they can
win a second term, because all Muslims are ready to struggle and
ready to be in discomfort for the sake of their brethren and their
Ummah on the other side of the world, that they will never give
up Philistine they will never give up because they will never give up
their brothers and sisters, and they will get their justice If the
Muslim leaders won't do it, the Muslims of America will do it, and
they will do it, and Arab araza will come from London and plead
with them and beg them to do it as well. You could choose to live
those four years with the dignity, with the dignity that you punish
the sitting US president and you don't care about the consequences.
Or you can live those four years in humiliation where Biden wins
the second term because you chose not to punish him, and he spends
four years not giving you the time of day because he'll laugh in the
White House, and he'll say, can you believe that we killed 20,000
of their brethren, and they still voted blue.
They still voted for me. I one guy would be like, I'm telling you,
these Muslims have no dignity. They have no self respect. And
somebody would say, don't you think we should at least visit
them? Why visit them? Why go to them and say they'll come knocking
on our door? They came to us after we come into the genocide. And
even when you go visit them on the door, they'll be like, come back
tomorrow. And then the Zionists will walk in. They're like,
please, please come in. You are relevant. These guys have no self
respect. These are relevant. This is why I meant by gaslighting and
emotionally blackmail. Now I'm not gaslighting you. I'm not
emotionally blackmailing you, even though you may feel it is that
way, and if you feel it's that way, maybe, Inshallah, you'll
think about why you feel that way, even though I'm not doing it in
the way, perhaps that I am doing it.
But what I'm saying, yeah, ibad Allah, is this the data shows that
Muslims have the potential to have the deciding vote. And I, as
somebody from London, am envious of you, because all the polls in
London show in the UK, show that the opposition party, which also
supported the genocide, is set to in a landslide election. Now it
may not be the case, because only Allah knows the *. I thought
the Brexit vote would be very tight. Sorry, I thought the Brexit
vote would be a landslide in favor of staying in the EU and I was so
convinced of it, I didn't even go to vote. And then I woke up one
day. I woke up the next day, and I said, in LA Lila, you were in open
borders. Is going to be finished soon because a bunch of racists,
they put some billboards showing Hitler esque imagery. I should
have gone and voted. So I'm telling you, as a person who made
the mistake, a bad Allah, I don't have the ability to make the
difference in the UK, but Wallahi, you have the ability to make a
difference. Wallahi, you have the ability to do something. You have
the ability to make us proud. You have the ability to deliver
justice. You have the ability to show the world that no one can
commit a genocide and win a second term, Allah, Subhanahu wa it is as
if he could have chosen any state in America to be the deciding
state. It just so happens that the swing states that will make the
difference happen to be the states where the Muslims have the
deciding vote. Biden knows this so much that he's been looking for a
mosque in Masjid, in Michigan, Michigan, in order to try to find
a mosque that will receive him. But who's seen Godfather here the
film Godfather, right? You know that scene towards the end where
Marlon Brando Don collioni tells his son Michael, when they're
fighting with the barzinis, and he says, The the friend, the friend
who brings the message from the other side. He says, that's the
that's the traitor, the Masjid. I'm not saying it.
I'm just saying, just food for thought, popular references,
cultural references, you know, just to show I'm a bit hip as
well, you know, to be honest, like, the reason why I know a lot
of these new like, you know, Iggy, Azalea, Nicki Minaj, Nicki
minhaja, but Mickey Minaj, the reason why I know all of them, to
be honest, is not because I knew them growing up. It's because bin
Salman introduced me to them. No, really, really, I did not imagine
the horror when my father said, Sami bin Salman has invited this.
Is he a Gallia? Is healia? Is he a rallia?
I told him, who's that? So we googled it, and we actually typed
in, is he a gal?
Instead
of Iggy, don't search it.
And don't search it with your father right now.
Don't do it. Don't
the idea that the land of the Two Holy moss introduced me to that
Sarai is the most horrifying thing, I think I can, I can think.
And when I thought maybe that, maybe because her first
performance, the trousers ripped, so she had to be taken off stage.
So I thought maybe, you know, there would be some like, oh, did
someone just Google it? It's just a don't google
it. I thought you Googled
it. Put your phones away.
The point is that
I thought that after the first performance, when her trousers
ripped, that maybe they will do, you know, because you know she did
her performance, bow down to the Goddess, you know, bring your
prophets and back. But then she tweeted afterwards and said, you
know that they invited me again to perform.
And you know, and even for those who want to understand why I'm so
upset about Saudi on the night that Israel began its ground
invasion. They cut off the internet on Razan, they began his
grand invasion. It was a Saturday on that Saturday night, Shakira
dancing. Now there's a
joke. I've been making a survey semester, so I won't make it.
Yeah, so it's about to do with the lyrics of a song, in any case,
which I didn't know until bin Salman introduced me.
You know, the point is, yeah, ibad Allah, to end on this point, even
though now It's been 40 minutes since I said that. But I promise
this. This is where, because, notice I didn't say, I promise
I'll finish on this point. I said I will, because somebody has Sheik
told me, yes, Sami, if you're going to keep saying it with
sincerity, just don't say I promise. So you don't have to
Kafala afterwards. And I said, Yallah khalas, so this time, I
promise I'll finish on this point. Ibad Allah, what you choose to do
with your vote is your choice.
The reality is that we saw a genocide live streamed. We saw an
ethnic cleansing live streamed. Another choice before you is
whether you want to go down in history, because historians will
write whether you want to go down in history as the people who
topple genocide Joe and punish the genocide, or a people who were so
detached from the Ummah and so happy with the comfort that you
have that you thought you know what? Yes, he punished a genocide,
but we were realpolitik. We were political thinkers who thought
long term. We thought 20,000 Palestinians, but we were smart.
We still voted for Biden because we want to build influence and
leverage, like we've been doing for 30 years. That proved
absolutely useless when it came to stopping this genocide. We went to
all the White House iftars, and we made the links. We made the
contacts. We were there in the circles of power, because if we're
not on the table, we're on the menu. We went to them and we said
we 30 years we had no leverage, but 10 years more after genocide,
this would be the turning point where we can have leverage, where
next time we can say to the president, please, ya rahis,
please, Prince, please, please, don't do genocide. Please, listen,
you guys will vote for us anyway. Please, I need to give me
something to take back to my community. Take them that Trump
wants to do the Muslim ban, and that will satisfy them. Can I have
a bit more? Please tell him that we'll do a counter Islamophobia
initiative. Thank you. Thank you, masa. Thank you.
You can tell how upset, how upset I am, how upset and how angry I am
that there are some in this community who are still asking,
What if, when it is put before them, let's punish genocide. Joe.
And they reply and say, What if Shame, shame, and are that 20,000
Palestinians can be killed, and you are in a position to punish
genocide, Joe. And still, some members of the community say, what
if,
iba Allah, we are an ummah of justice. We are an ummah that
stands for justice, and we are Ummah ready to struggle for
justice. And November Inshallah, you will show that to the world.
And when genocide, Joe Inshallah, has toppled, the views expressed
our mind. I'm just giving them a scenario here, when genocide Joe
is punished, and I received the messages, Bro, did you see it?
These Muslims, they did it. These American Muslims that we all
thought were liberal and pro LGBT, because there's a speaker who
introduced us to them and convinced us that you were all of
pro LGBT in any case. And then I discovered in America that you
went in any case, semi these the most the American Muslims. They
did it. They did it. What did they do? What did they do? They toppled
genocide. Joe. And everybody will say it's because of the Muslim
vote. And the world will say that Biden, the President of the United
States of America, messed up so badly that Israel is on trial for
genocide, and he lost the second term, and the Muslims are
celebrating, and the Muslims are shouting and saying that we
toppled genocide Joe, and we toppled him for Palestine.
Because, yeah, genocide, Joe, you tried to erase Palestine. We kept
it alive. We kept moving for Palestine. And we will tell you
loud and clear, when they bring those ballot boxes, I'm going to
watch that news reporter, and it appears that many ballots on the
ballot box didn't even have a cannon on them. They said they
wrote, free Palestine. And one person we have, a writer, said,
from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. And then
everybody repeated like, I.
Like we become like a meme, and I will say, Allah humma, make me
like those American Muslims. Allah humma, celebrate those American
Muslims and lift them and celebrate them. But if genocide
Joe wins, because the Muslims choose not to punish him, will be
like, Alhamdulillah, like those humiliated American Muslims, yeah,
May Allah help them deal with them, but at all fiqh and
apologies for taking too long a
I'm fine, like I can stay as long as you want, but it's up to you
guys. Whenever you guys are tired, I'm fine. Alhamdulillah, not just
the ballot box. You know, if you really organized well, and I don't
know if you'll be able to do this, not because it's not possible,
because I don't know if the owner will be able to organize properly
for this, like, I mean, the Americans here, you know, there's
a way you can punish Biden at the presidential election and deny
trump the house, but you can punish Biden in the presidential
election, make sure he loses, and you can deny Trump control of the
House, which would require you to identify the areas where you can
actually make a difference. I was shocked to discover that there are
some areas where the candidate in the last election won by like 2000
votes, in an area with 10,000 registered Muslims, of which only
2000 Muslims went to vote, which means the 8000 Muslims who didn't
vote could have tipped the favor one way or the other.
Now for these people, I always say that, you know, there's a in the
Quran, Allahu, alabi. Allah is not oppressive to his believers. So
sometimes, when you find the humiliated people, there's a
reason they've been humiliated, and often it's because Allah gave
them the ability to do something, to make change, and they chose not
to deploy that power to make change.
That's why, when Allah told Musa as to tell his people to go, to
enter
the area, to enter where Jerusalem is. And they said, We won't go,
because there's a powerful people there. The odds are against us.
The world is against us. We can't do it. And he said, Allah has
given you the order. And they replied sarcastically mocking him.
They said it, have enter wala Bucha, fakati la ina Ha, Huna
karidun, if Allah has said it, go you and your Lord and your Lord
and fight. We'll be here waiting, and we'll see what happens. And
Allah says He forbade them from entering it for 40 years because
there are people who didn't deserve to do it. The reason why
I'm saying that is because there is a way to punish Biden in the
presidential election and a way to mobilize Muslims and those who
people of conscience who are rallying for Palestine, those
Jewish groups that shut down Congress, that went into sitting
in Congress, the African Americans who are turning away from Israel,
all these groups, there's a way you can identify because the
Muslim, at the end of the day, is not Democrat or Republican. The
Muslim votes based on the causes. The Muslim mobilizes based on
causes. Ali bin Abi Talib said that we don't judge causes based
on who stands with them. We judge men and women based on who's based
on whether they stand with just causes. And I noticed earlier when
he said the men women and over there, and I thought it's very
reflective of America, you know, pronouns, he, she, they. But in
any case, I just thought was quite funny. You just got, in any case,
the point here being is that if you really mobilize, if you really
calculate the data, you could viably from February to March,
gather the data that you need to identify the areas in California
where you can make a difference, and there are some areas where you
actually can. I've seen some of the numbers. Then you can spend
March till June, gathering the resources. And mashallah, you guys
have a lot of those resources. Then you can spend June, July,
August, training your communication strategies or the
like, your hashtags, get your accounts ready, or the like. Then
September information Blitz to remind an ummah that might forget
that a genocide took place earlier in the year. And then by November,
you're ready. The reality is the Zionists already have a plan like
this, already set. They know what they're doing. They know where
they're going. They know the message they're doing. They know
the areas where they're contesting, and they know where
they're going to punish the Muslims are ready to do something,
but they do not have the strategy yet to be able to do it. Ibad
Allah, having will is not enough. You need to move also and
mobilize, which is why ALLAH SubhanA said that when my
believers take one step towards me, I take 10 towards them. If
they walk towards me, I come running. The reason why is Allah
is emphasizing the idea of taking the action in order to mobilize,
how many of you know areas where you can contest and you can
actually make a difference in California or in lalilahi, wa
ILAHA, and this is where I give rather a bit of a dark message,
ibad Allah. Allah, sometimes he gives opportunities, but that
doesn't mean you will take those opportunities.
The fact that you have the chance to punish by them doesn't mean you
will. Because to take that chance, you need to move, act, mobilize
and struggle. You need to give from your time to volunteer. You
need to give from your money to sponsor those where you might say,
I went to, for example, to some places where they said, Sami, our
state is not a swing state. It's dead set going to vote. Biden and
one of them stood up and said, but I have an idea, Sammy. I said,
What's your idea? He said, we're an affluent community in this
particular city. This is not California. Is another city. He
goes, we can gather resources to send 1220, 3040, people to help
the brothers in Michigan,
or to help those in Arizona, where it's a swing.
Eight we can pool our resources the way Zionists do, to push for
teams to do so. Tech guys from San Francisco said we'd be willing to
go fly out to these other places to help them with their tech
campaigns, the local tech campaigns, because I don't know
how to make an app, but I do know that people are willing to
entertain this. I remember after Atlanta when I spoke, the reason
why I said Atlanta, I was so happy to speak in actual swing state,
not that I'm doing anything in this country, everything within
the
law. A man of 75 years of age came to me and said to me, Sammy, look,
Elon Musk has blocked my Twitter account, and it said we have
suspended your account for three days because we think you're a
bot. I told him, had you what happened? He said, I never had
social media, but I saw your video, and you said, retweet,
like, and it all makes a difference? So I asked my grandson
to set me an account on Twitter, Tiktok and Instagram, but I don't
know how to use it. So on the Tiktok on Twitter, I was just
retweeting and liking everything that the Palestinians were doing,
like you said, but now they've blocked me. I don't know, *,
can I ask a question? He said, What I told him, did you actually
tweet? Though? He
goes, Why would I tweet? You said, Just Retweet and like, I said,
Yeah, but had you like, you got to retweet you a tweet so they know
you're a person, and then do the retweeting. Because, well, what do
I tweet? I have nothing to say. I don't know. Why don't you just
write, in the morning, good morning. In the evening, good
night.
The reason why I tell you this story is to show you yay, bad
ALLAH, do we have a strategy to simplify the information to such
an extent that those who are desperate to do something for
Philistine are able to do it. Some people don't need the complicated
strategy. Some people just need simple instructions on what to do.
Those of you who are involved in tech, I mean, California is a lot
of tech guys, right? I've seen other minority groups set up apps
where all you have to do is put your postcode or zip code, as you
guys call it here, put your zip code, and it gives you the details
exactly of who was pro ceasefire and who was against ceasefire and
what candidate most people are going towards. Tech guys, have you
got the information yet to do an app for it? Activists. Have you
given the information to the tech guys? YouTubers, Tiktok, social
media people, have you got the information so you can break it
down, so we can retweet and share those one minute, two minute
clips, so we can inform the community? No, no and no.
Next question, I think, when it comes to the first question, with
regards to Saudi Arabia, Mufti Taqi Osmani, I've heard they're
saying that he gave he said that if those of you thinking of doing
hamara, you should give that money to Hazra instead. When some people
have suggested that they should boycott Umrah, the reason why I'm
against it is for two reasons. The first is the Prophet Muhammad,
sallAllahu sallam, wanted to do Umrah when Mecca was under
Quraysh. Albeit, there was a political reason for it as well,
which is to show that they were committed to performing the
literal ritual rites and asserting they came to Mecca when quresh
were involved in Mecca. Nevertheless, I think that's also
a precedent that we do that Umrah continues regardless. The second
reason why I'm against boycotting Amra, no, it's not a hard
position. I'm not saying against in the sense that I'm fully
convinced, but I'm just thinking out loud here. Now for those of
you who actually follow footborne, foot born,
someone says soccer. Although I read someone told me recently that
soccer actually came from the British. It's from the
abbreviation. So the British are the ones who misguided you, and
then, you know, led you astray. But no, but also, I do realize you
Americans are too quick with abbreviations. America is all
abbreviations. Brother, are you going to syvp?
Listen, you know the organization WMP, and you know this. And I'm
like, I don't, can't follow this conversation. I just give the
proper names here, JAMA, in any case, in football, the band on
door winner last year, which is the best player in the world? Was
an Algerian. Kareem, Benzema,
lovely, lovely player, mashallah, majestic, elegant in the way that
he plays. So Karim Benzema, the Saudis made him a lucrative offer,
and he went to move to Saudi Arabia. But he didn't move to
Riyadh, to El Hilal. He moved to Jeddah. And he specifically said,
if I move to Saudi I need to move to Jeddah. Then he gave an
interview to the athletic because for me, a lot of people say, send
me. What do you read to keep up today, I'll be honest with you at
breakfast. I read the football gossip about who's moving where,
and who's going whatever. And I read the athletic and I read it in
depth, like, I love football. When I got married, I said to my wife,
yes, Alhamdulillah, don't have any of these, like vices that you know
you should be worried about. This. Football is sacred, Yani, and if
there's a if there's a match tonight, or Champions League, or
Arsenal are playing, or the like I told the P and I'm not asking
anything from you, but in those moments, just give me my space,
please, because Arsenal tend to lose quite often, you know, like
in any case, Kareem Benzema, when you went to Jeddah, he gave an
interview to the athletic and they asked him, why did he move to
Jeddah? He said, Because I'm Muslim and I wanted to be close to
Mecca. And the Vincent man Twitter army were so upset. They were so
angry. They said, What does it mean coming to Jada for Mecca is
all Saudi has, is Mecca Medina. Someone needs to open Zema. Why
we're spending so much money to bring him here? And they were not
so hungry. There was in Algeria, we have a concept called Scara.
Now, Scara means that, you know, when you have somebody who's.
I'm gonna do that. You can't be but you've discovered something
that when you do it really annoys them. So for example, when your
older brother hits you, I don't have an older brother. I was
older, but I didn't do the hitting.
I just realized I put myself no in any case, but let's say, for
example, an older brother is hitting the younger sibling and,
you know, the guy and the other sibling goes, You're stupid. Don't
call me stupid. You're dumb. No, don't call me dumb. But you know
it hurts them, so you keep doing it. Scarafi, because it annoys
them. My
conclusion was that because bin Salman, people were so upset that
Benzema went to Jeddah for Mecca Medina, because more people go to
Mecca Medina than they go to Iggy Azalea raves. I think people
should continue going to Omar Al scar AFI bin Salman, like Scala so
that bin Salman, no matter how much he does vision 2030 he cannot
get rid of the Islamic identity of Saudi Arabia. He can build
whatever projects he wants, whatever cities he want. So there
will always be the land of the Two Holy Mosques, whatever, even if he
decides to change the history from 1744 to 1727, and he does a new
emblem, where he says, Saudis represented by the logo of a
horse, the logo of a Suga market, the logo of a date, and the logo
of whatever, and a flag that has nothing on it. Even when he does
all of that, the Muslims are reminded. So I think that was with
Saudi in terms that's the in that particular case, I'm not sure that
it's keen to boycott them. You mentioned the issue of being
silent on Saudi Arabia, and I will give you a personal answer. While
I would like the Ummah to be loud about Bin Salman's decentization
process on Saudi Arabia, one of the things that I'm not sure about
is whether my way of going about it was the right way, which is to
be loud about Saudi Arabia and talk about it. Because I can't lie
to you, I'm the kind of guy on my Facebook or Instagram when I see
anyone put a picture of the Kaaba, I do snooze for 30 days.
When I see anybody post a picture, I've landed in Makkah, like to go
and do AMR or the like I do, snooze this account for 30 days
when I see people taking pictures I'm in the Kaaba, Allah has given
me the blessing. I'm not a person who says, masha Allah. I'm a
person who does snooze for 30 days. It hurts me that people can
go and I can't go.
It hurts that when my Saudi friends, who love me sincerely,
they come to London, they won't have coffee because they say, in
bin Salman's era, you can be guilty by association. I don't
know if I want the Ummah to have this particular pain Wallahi. If I
had known in 2014
that that would be the final time that I would pray in the Haramein
for that long period of time. It's been almost 10 years. If I had
known I wouldn't have prayed Fajr in the hotel. I would have prayed
it in the masjid. If I had known that, I would not that I would get
to a stage where I don't even go over their airspace. They want to
fly me to Australia. I don't know transit in any Gulf state, not
even Qatar. No transit.
I would rather fly to Tokyo and go down or fly to California and then
cross the sea.
I don't know if anybody in Norman should go through that. I'm trying
to think of a better way to apply pressure on Saudi Arabia. And
unfortunately, I'm not the most intelligent individual. I can't
think of a better way to do it? I think maybe there are better
battles to start with, such as Imran Khan, who is in prison in
Pakistan. For example, Imran Khan is in prison for the only reason
is that they think he will win the next election and that he will
have the power of the people to support him. And that's such a
horrible crime in Pakistan that they put him in prison.
Now I think that if the Ummah was loud about Imran Khan, I think
they can get him released in prison, and I'll tell you why.
When Imran Khan was toppled in a vote of no confidence, I had never
spoken about Pakistan before. I was like, whatever. Like Pakistan,
Pakistan, India cricket match, they call it a sport. I don't know
why it's a sport, but any case, I know the English made it hers a
wise guy wants to say it. I think the English made it just because,
you know, they didn't want to exert too much effort. Oh, I dare
say, Let's bowl the board. And the person goes up.
I dare say, that's a six.
It's not like football. Run, run. In any case, when
Imran Khan was toppled in a vote of no confidence, I got a phone
call from the South Africa broadcasting center, and they said
to me, Sammy, we want to do an interview here about happening.
Imran Khan. I told them, guys like, I can give you numbers of
Pakistani analysts. They said, No, no, no, we want you. I said, Guys
Like, honestly, like, I don't think it's my position to talk
about Pakistan.
They said, No, no, no, we want you. Who's going to watch it
anyway? And I respect South Africa broadcasting center, but I don't
think it's going to go viral. So I gave my opinion he's been toppled
because he wanted to suggest a successor for the Chief of Staff
and the intelligence, and they were so horrified that a
democratically elected prime minister would even think for a
second that he has the power to tell the establishment to do
anything.
Somebody from PTI, I cut the clip, and it went viral, like online.
And then I got establishment people calling me, telling me,
stay out of Pakistan's business. And then I saw Pakistani sharing
the video, and I saw establishment getting upset. And as a North
African whose blood can be a bit hot tempered.
Of times I said, given that they're upset by it and given
they're telling me not to do it, I decided to keep talking about
Imran Khan.
I believe that if the Ummah rules about Imran Khan, they can get him
released. Some people, they tell me, yeah, but semi, we don't know
the internal politics. Maybe, you know, some people are saying
because of economic policies or politics, I tell them guys, if
Imran Khan was toppled because of his internal politics, fine, but
he wasn't. He was toppled only because they think he's going to
win the next election. And yes, Sidi, let's suppose because he do
the election and let him lose the election, and all be quiet. But
this ummah isn't an ummah that stands for the rest of its body.
It stands for Philistine because Allah gave its special status in
the Quran. But many Muslims don't know that the Bosnians are under
pressure from the Serbians, who are threatening another war. Some
Muslims celebrated when Russia invaded Ukraine. They said,
multipolar world Putin. I was in Sarajevo when I was in Sarajevo
when Putin invaded, they said, If Putin enters Kyiv in two weeks,
the Serbs will invade and try to commit agenda the genocide against
us Bosnians. Sammy explained to us why this ummah is Jala and doesn't
understand the situation here in Bosnia. I said, Wallahi jahila,
please forgive them. May Allah guide them.
How many of you know that Uzbekistan is now shaking off the
chains of Soviet Russia, and Putin is so upset that Erdogan is
encouraging it, that the Putin is trying to send more troops now to
some of these former Soviet states, in order to warn them not
to re Islamize and to stay on the course on Soviet Russia. But the
reason being is that these states, I believe that more Muslims are
going to these countries, which gives them an opportunity to re
Islamize, and if more Muslim money is poured into these economies.
They can liberate themselves from Russia. But instead, you choose to
go to only Morocco, Dubai, Malaysia, and what's the other
place, Turkey, because they're safe places. So when you say
silence about Bin Salman, I think there are battles that are worth
fighting at this moment in time, such as Imran Khan or the like.
And to raise awareness, and everybody should be tweeting
hashtag Imran Khan. Just do it randomly. Scara, just trust me on
it. But I think with Saudi Arabia on a personal front, and this is
why, when students, they come and they say, I want to do what you
do, like talk about politics, I tell them, I don't think you do,
you know, I don't think you want to condemn yourself to, you know,
being shut out from many of these Muslim nations, and then watch
your friends go back and forth and put pictures up about it. Having
said that, I'll finish on this point. There's nothing that
frightens bin Salman more than English speaking Muslims talking
about Saudi Arabia, because English speaking Muslims affect
his image in the capitals that he wants to impress. And English
speaking Muslims, for those who don't know, if you look at the
statistics of the largest populations on Earth. English
speaking Muslims are the fifth largest population on Earth. The
number one population is China. To number one population is Muslims,
two point something billion. Then it's China, one point something
billion. Then its India, one point something billion. Then I think
it's the US, 360 million. And then it's English speaking Muslims,
three 30 million. That's America, Europe, bits of North Africa,
Middle East, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and India.
English speaking Muslims are the fifth largest population on Earth.
If English speaking Muslims raised awareness for issues to do with
the Ummah everywhere, collectively, can you imagine the
impact they would have. But unfortunately, the Ummah doesn't
pay attention to its memories. It hasn't reconnected its memories,
and that's why I argue that the greatest tragedy of this ummah
when it comes to colonization, wasn't the physical colonization,
it was the way colonization ripped the limbs of its Ummah so that we
no longer paid attention to the affairs of each other, where we
started respecting the borders that were imposed on us, by saying
we won't talk about issues that are outside of these borders,
whereas you read Ibn Khaldun, Ibn Kathir and these old scholars that
you celebrate, and they're talking about politics from Morocco all
the way to Jakarta and beyond, as if they as if it's just one place,
as if it's just normal for a Muslim to know about these
affairs. And
some people will say, How do I reconnect with those memories? In
my opinion, you reconnect those memories by going out to those
countries. Many of you will say, you haven't been to Bosnia, but
you've been to Switzerland. Bosnia, Switzerland, views, but
all halal and cheaper, but
because you're not connected to the Bosnian community, you decided
to put your money in an economy that hates you instead of an
economy that desperately needs you. And some of you might be
thinking, Sami, like you're giving us these little like whatever,
like examples, that kind of thing. I'll tell you interesting story,
and I promise I'll hand over here. You know, sometimes a shape Bishop
youth garden, and please tolerate me just, just for this particular
I'm aware. Sometimes, you know, some my my family, sometimes they
say, Sammy, he goes through the gears one first gear, and then he
goes straight to fifth gear
when we so we have like, three, four itineraries for Bosnia. So
eventually the Tourism Board reached out to us, and they said
to us, you do trips to Bosnia, but you only do mosta and Sarajevo and
everything in between. Why don't you do beyond, like Western
Bosnia? We said we don't have the resources to go and explore it.
They said we'll pay.
You to go and explore Western Bosnia. We'll go all those 1000
kilometers and go and explore it. We said, Okay, fine. They sent the
itinerary. They included a city called Banja Luka.
Banja Luka, for those who don't know, in 1993 had 18 massages. The
ethnocentric Serbs that committed the genocide destroyed all 18
mosques, turned the ruins into garbage dumps, and then when the
smell got too badly. They made it into parking lots so that they
could say that we're always stepping on Islam that we want
here.
When I saw it on the list, I told my wife, I told her, Over my dead
body, I'm going. Banja Luka. I'm not going. No way. I'm not
betraying my Bosnian brothers and sisters by going. I read about it.
I read aliens, a big adventures book. I know the Bosnian Street.
I'm not going. She told me she'd be quiet. He can hear you. I said,
I'm not going. I'm not going. No, no, no. She told me, let's just go
see another guy heard me said, Sammy, let's just go see it. Just
have a look at it. We won't stay tonight. I'm not going banner,
Sammy, this goes, I'm not going banal. And then my wife, as always
do, put her foot down. We're going, I
was like,
so we're driving. And for those who don't know Bosnia, Bosnia,
basically, the roads are literally upper mountain, Ghana, mountain.
Upper mountain, Ghana. There's a joke they say in Bosnia, they say,
if Allah I and Bosnia to be the size of the United States.
So on the way, going to Banja Luka, I'm going stuff Allah,
Allah trade, I'm so weak. Star for Allah. I'm going Banja Luka. And
then we go around the place, and then we see banyuki starts to
appear. First thing you see is a minor
we stop by the ferhadi, a masjid. We walk in, the Imam comes out,
and I do what Sammy does. He puts his foot in it. I go in. I go the
Imam says, salaam. I was like, Imam, we doing here?
Said, What do you mean? What am I doing
here? Banya Luka,
she's okay. And
where did this come from?
He says, in 2002 he was 22 years old, the Bosniak community, the
Muslims, their hearts were broken that the massage in Banja Luka had
been destroyed, and they felt that the Mladic and karatsich who
committed the genocide
could claim that they achieved their aims by kicking out Islam
from Banja Luka.
So with their limited resources, because they're not a rich
economy, they gathered money together, pulled money together to
send this imam of 22 years of age to Banja Luka with a quest to
rebuild the 18 masurgeon.
I said to him, but how did they let you do it? He said, they
didn't, initially the local government, because they created a
semi autonomous area in northern Bosnia called Republika Srpska. He
said, so one Bosnian had an idea. He said, Why don't we go to
UNESCO? And we asked, what other conditions to protect the
masurgeon under UNESCO. Pre UNESCO conditions, UNESCO said 90% have
to be original materials.
Look at my ummah.
They gather the money to buy the parking lots.
They dig up the parking lots. They dig up the original materials.
They re UNESCO says it has to rebuild as it was before they
rebuilt the masjid, as it was before they go to Turkey, they
find the original plans, and they go and they rebuild the Masjid.
They have rebuilt 17 of the 18.
They built a madrasa alongside.
And I said to him, what made you go to do all of this, and I'm
sitting in the masjid going, Allah jahil, how I don't have foresight,
I don't have whatever. Look at these people. These are heroes of
the ummah. The Ummah is not weak. I'm weak. The Ummah is not Jai LA.
I'm a jahid. The Ummah is brave and strong. I'm the one who's weak
and pathetic,
I said. And he said to me, the Imam. He looks at me and he goes
to me, Mladic and Karachi said they would kick Islam out of
banyak Luka, Sami, we are here. They will never turn off the light
of Allah subhanho wa taala,
I told the Walla will bring people to Banyan Luka. I will bring the
Muslim. I will include it on itinerary. Sumaya. Sumaya, we have
to include it on itineraries. The Muslims have to come to banya,
Luka, they have to come to the madrasah, they have to come
wherever. And then when I come down Amit, I said, But Ya Allah,
what if the Muslims struggle with by with the local community, as if
Allah had heard my concern. We're walking down the boulevard. It's
really beautiful. And the woman sees Sumaya, and Sumaya was hijab
and abaya, so she stopped, Somaya, she grabs, excuse me, where are
you from? She's half English, half Algerian. I've got
and she says, Oh, Algeria, she told us a funny joke. I can't
remember, but it's about Mother Teresa alcohol in
Algeria, I think he said, Yeah, I can't remember. Anyway. It was a
funny joke, anyway. And she says, By the way, I just want to tell
you, you're more than welcome here. I was like, Allah. And then
there was a huge protest that just suddenly emerged in the boulevard,
a huge protest against the separatist, racist Serb leader of
Republika Srpska,
and being Sami, I want Allah humma. Message received. Message
received. The reason why I tell you the story is.
Is to explain to you why there are ummah. In the Ummah, there are so
many projects similar to this that require support of the ummah. The
backing these were Bosnia has gathered money. And you know who
also helped them? By the way, Christian, Irish Christians, they
sent money to help them as well. This all I mean
by the Ummah is not connected to its memories. Imagine if the Ummah
had heard about the story and how much they would have supported it.
And for those of you who think that you're not valuable in terms
of where you choose to travel, there is a hotel near in Sarajevo
where they used to hold the Winter Olympics. It's run by a Christian
Serb, and it's all halal. They did an interview with him. They said
to him, why are you a Christian Serb and you have all Halal hotel?
And he said, because all my clients are Muslims. They spend
money. They're not like you stingular,
when I see that tourism boards, non Muslim tourism boards approach
us and they say, We want a piece of this $320 billion Muslim
market, that is 11% of the World Travel Market. What do we need to
get Muslims to come and the Koreans that we say to them that
you know, they want halal, me that they go *. What is hella?
Is just where can we get hella? You can
just order it. So if we just get Halal week, Muslims will come.
They had an initiative last year called Halal week in November,
which lasted one month. Halal week, they identified it in
November, that's when 1000s of Muslims would go to Korea. And so
in that month, around 35% of Korea's restaurants would swap the
halal meat and use halal meat to welcome the Muslims into Seoul.
And they would get chefs who would do live performances of how to
make Korean dishes with halal meat to welcome the Muslims. When we
spoke to Barbados, they said, We want Muslims to come. We said,
Yeah, but halal meat is hard to get by. They said, What's halal
meat? Oh, just the meat. They would just give us two weeks
notice, and the Hilton will produce halal meat for you. Just
let us know when you're coming. Really, it's that simple. Yeah,
your beaches are full of bikinis.
They said, Is that a problem? We say it's a big problem.
Just saying, Okay, we'll just cut off a section on the beach and
make it a family area. We'll just leave it for the Muslim That easy.
That easy.
Spanish Tourism Board,
we gave a presentation last year. We were arguing that the next
stage of Muslim travel is city tourism instead of nation tourism.
Though English people sometimes they go Paris six days. For
example, we believe that there are cities in the Muslim world like
cordaba, like buchara likes that deserve five days, but the reason
why there's a lack of infrastructure and investment to
keep them there for five days. So the Spanish tourism board said, Do
you think you could do this for Cordoba? Because when people say
they visit Andalusia, they say, I spent two days in Seville, one day
in Cordoba, two days in Granada, they think it's a big thing, but
it sounds like they just want to fill up gas in Cordoba, and they
just pass the city.
You for them, we thought there would be backlash. The church was
upset. They said, Why are they investing so much in Halal
tourism? Spanish tourism board said, Look, we're in an economic
crisis. These Muslims spend money. We want them to come. We're ready
to give them halal and me, and also the hotels, they're ready to
get halal certification. And two hotels already have halal
certification, because they want Muslims to come and spend their
money. Sometimes we think that resistance is only in speaking
out, and this is why I wanted to get to this point. Sometimes we
think resistance is speaking out. But what I've learned sometimes is
that there are battles that are fought in all different domains
that make an impact. Overall, I've seen two nations agree to invest
in a city in Uzbekistan. They agreed to invest, I think it was
about 10 million. I was invited as an independent consultant because
sumayi couldn't go. She told me, Go in my place.
They agreed that they should invest in this city.
What they're arguing over is whether they should call it the
Islamic capital of Uzbekistan, or the Uzbek capital, sorry, the
Islamic cultural capital of Uzbekistan, or the Uzbek cultural
capital of Uzbekistan. One side, backed by Erdogan, says, I'm not
putting my money in, unless you call it the Islamic cultural
capital. The other side, European side, is saying, I'm not putting
my money in unless it's called the Uzbek cultural capital. I saw, and
I thought Subhanallah wars are fought in so many different ways.
So you asking about Amra? I think that if the numbers of Mecca
Medina always surpass the concepts, it will hurt bin Salman,
he won't be happy about the money, because the money will that he
gets from Hajj and Amra, to be honest, it's only 5% and he's
still struggling economically, because it's overwhelmingly of the
oil. So really, when you say you're benefiting him in economic
you're not really doing much with the Omar and Hajj, in terms of
benefiting him economically by going to Omar and Hajj, it hurts
him when he goes, because it shows that while he's trying to attract
you with you, specifically with igzia, I think he used Pitbull or
David getter to do that. But in any case, the point is, while he's
doing all of that, none of you are going to these concerts, and the
minority that do are going afterwards to make Toba and Mecca
Medina, because they think that's how think that's how it works. No,
really, listen, I heard, this is not a joke. I was actually told
this after the genocide, there is a brother who is, you know, has
some vices, and he went to his local Imam, and he said, you know,
Imam, you've been telling me that if I don't stop, I'm going to go
jahannam. You're a liar. Imam. He said, What do you mean? He goes.
Nothing I do compares to genocide. Hellfire wasn't made for people
like me. It was made for people like those Zionists who are
committing that genocide. I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't you worry
about me. These people are pure evil. They're not do nothing what
I do. The point that I'm making here is there are other ways in
which you can make a difference, ways that you didn't think and
ways that will make a difference as well. Hong Kong has a unique
website only for Muslim travelers, who tell Muslim travelers come
Dawa can be done in so many different ways. If only you knew,
if only you knew. And the final point, I promise this is the final
point I know so long answers your question. I'm sorry. It's like you
said, Where's your ear? And I did that, and I still haven't found
it. But the point is that the final point that I will say is
this, Dawa can be done in so many different ways.
And the reason why I emphasize this point is that it's important
to put the world into context. Yes, the Muslim world is
struggling, but Islam is consistently the fastest growing
religion. Yes, they are persecuting Muslims abroad, but
Islam grows more and more in the belly of the beast. Yes, they are
trying to wipe out Islam elsewhere, but they cannot
understand why. Every time they do it, like they're pummeling Gaza,
they can't understand why people are entering Islam. When they're
pummeling Gaza, they can't understand why more people enter
the deen, the more they hit Islam. It's because Islam is protected by
Allah subhanahu wa. I went to France and I met a French
journalist. I'm doing I want. It's just I'm desperate to to really
push this point. I went to France, and I'm a journalist, and I said
to this journalist, he was like, to me, you know, Sammy, on our
whole problem, we have a huge problem. I said, What a problem.
What's the problem? This one didn't tell me, I speak English.
He actually spoke to me French. He said to me, you know, the new
French generation, the heroes of the Muslim in Golo County, the
Muslim killing Benzema, the Muslims in the Muslim Paul Pogba
Sammy, this is this is this is tragic. Like the French values of
this new generation won't know what French values are. The same
way, design is not concerned that the new generation of Americans no
longer support Zionism. When they said to Tiktok, we need you to
restrict Palestine, Tiktok said, You guys are mistaken. It's
nothing to do with the algorithm. It's just a new generation, a pro
Palestinian.
And that's what I mean in that when you're asking about ser de or
the like, what can you do to bin Salman
rasan Abu sittah has a good podcast with a thinking Muslim,
which I encourage you to watch, where he says, We survive by
existing.
We win by existing.
We win by upholding the symbolism. Because what we're telling the
world is that no matter how much you persecute and torture the
Muslim ummah,
we will never give up La Ilaha, illallah, Muhammad, Rasulullah,
even if it means we'll get the comforts that you promise us,
because the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is dearer to us.
As Imran Khan said, is dearer, dearer to us than anything that we
own, and we are ready to sacrifice everything for his honor and for
his Lord, Allah subhanho wa taala. And I think that when you see the
power in this sentiment, a power that was reflected in Algeria.
When the French were left Algeria, what hurt them so much was that
they said 132 years of a civilizing mission, and these
Algerians still took to the streets. And when they celebrated
independence, they didn't say, Oh, we kicked out the French. Algeria
is free. They said a special chant. They said, Ya Muhammad,
mabuhay,
Al Jazeera, rajatlik, O Muhammad, Prophet Muhammad. They shouted the
Algerians on independence, to show you how much they love the
Prophet. They shouted on the streets, yeah, Muhammad. Mabu
Kali, O Prophet. Muhammad, congratulations. We have returned
Algeria to you.
We have returned and the French said, How is it 1400 years after
the Salem that
no matter how much we persecute and commit genocide on these
people, they still love this prophet, Muhammad, sallAllahu,
sallam, more than they love our values and our culture. And Bin
Salman is terrified that no matter how much he deisma Saudi Arabia,
this ummah will never buy into this new vision. And more
importantly, it seems the Americans aren't buying into
either, because eight years in Division 2030, and he's still
desperate to get investment, and he's still trying to offer
normalization in exchange for support, because companies are
going to Saudi Arabia, but they're not investing in Saudi Arabia.
They're taking government checks to build his cities, but refusing
to set up headquarters there, because nobody wants to live in
those cities. You'll want to go. I know
that was a long winded answer, but it was the only way I knew how to
answer it and build these messages for us and this haven and stuff
here. Yeah, I personally don't care how you vote, as long as it's
not for genocide. Joe,
I have mulled over from time to time whether Muslims should reach
out to the Republicans,
at least to sound out the waters.
As a guest, I can say it because I'm going back to London, and to
be honest, if people get upset about it. Addy, no problem. I'm in
London. You guys are here. It's up to you guys. What you guys do. I
felt that in some communities, in Muslim communities, it's
blasphemous to even make the suggestion.
What I do find.
Interesting is that before Gaza became an issue,
the issue that was really getting the Muslims going was the issue of
the LGBT and trans in the schools. And I was very interested in July
when Fox News reported on the Muslim parents protesting against
the school in Michigan,
and the Republicans covered it and Fox News, and they said, look at
these Muslims. And they said their version of Masha Allah, but they
said, you know, look at these Muslims, how they're standing up
for an issue that we believe in and we should be standing up for
as well. So the Muslims LED and the Republicans actually expressed
sympathy for it. Many of you will have seen that documentary, even
though I don't like, you know, and
easy Ben Shapiro, these guys, and Matt Walsh and whatever, but Ali
benevi Talib said, like, focus on the cause, right? You've all seen
a documentary. What is a woman? And
I can't lie to you, I felt like it was in a dystopia. He asked one
question, what is a woman? And I've never seen people do so many
semantic gymnastics just to he even goes to a Woman's March and
says, What is a woman and they can't answer him, what world we
live in.
The point is, it was clear before July that there was common ground
within which the Republicans were showing some sort of admiration
for the Muslim community, having said that they're already hardcore
Zionists, so I don't know how to navigate that field. What I do
know is that the Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, in
the first 13 years of his dawah, every Hajj season, would go to
every tent to look for a tribe that would support him or to
deliver his message to each tribe. And for 13 years, he would be
rejected each Hajj season until he met Osaka.
My question is, did it demean the Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu,
sallam, to keep going to those tents, even though Quraysh used to
laugh at him for it? No, it didn't. Some people are really
going to Ambassador. It's going to be like he used the Prophet Sallam
to justify talking to Republicans the nerve.
No, no, but I'm going to stick to it, because I believe that the
Prophet Muhammad, sallAllahu sallam, when he gave his dawah, he
gave it to everybody, including obey Ibu salud, who was the head
of the hypocrites, knowing full well he was the hypocrite. And I
also know that in the Quran, when Allah talks about dawah, we always
talk about the first ayah, not the following ayah, Allah says, Woman
Asmaa Hala in an email, Muslim, is there any better speech? The one
who calls to Allah does good deeds and say, I'm from the Muslims, but
we never read the following ayah when we mention it, which is, well
at the state will has said that well as say, yeah, the good deed
and the bad deed are not equal, suggesting that when you give this
dawah and do good deeds and say you're from the Muslim mean, you
might receive a backlash. And Allah saying that the bad deed and
the good deed are not equal. Do not respond with the bad deed.
With a bad deed, remember to uphold the integrity and principle
of the good deed. And Allah says, idfability here as and afterwards,
it FA means two things in this area. IDFA means conduct yourself
and it for also means push back. It fell bad, push the door. It FA
ability * and push back with that which is best strategically,
because Allah says, He tells you why. For either lady, Bena
kawabana, who Ada watunka and Nahua Lee on hameen, for it may be
the one with whom you have enmity with today, the one who is your
enemy today, tomorrow becomes your warmest ally. And Allah tells you
who achieves this, wana ulaqaha, illa, ladina, sabaru, the ones who
achieve this are the ones who are patient. Patience here, Allah is
defining it not as patience sitting at home, patience with the
process of dawah to somebody who hates you, who is your enemy? And
Allah is saying, if you show perseverance in this dawah, Allah
will make it so the one who is your enemy today tomorrow becomes
your warmest ally. Wana, Yala, kailaina, SABR wama, ulaka, illa,
waha, zanali, those who have a great blessing, meaning Allah's
intervention is what results in the enemy becoming a warmest ally.
I'm going to say something that will sound blasphemous to the
Muslim community. I think there is merit, despite Trump's rhetoric on
Israel and Zionism, to sound out some of the Republican candidates.
Because I saw Tucker Carlson. I don't watch him. I don't watch
him. I don't watch Tucker Carlson. I don't encourage people to watch
him. Don't watch him. Don't judge me.
But I've heard and I've seen clips of Tucker Carlson and Republicans
asking, Why on earth are we spending so much money supporting
the Zionists, asking, Why on earth are we allowing the Israelis to
drag us into these conflicts? Which shows the Republicans are
not united when it comes they may be united in Zionism. They are not
united in their support for Zionism.
I think there is room there. If someone asks you, as a political
analyst, to lay out the groundwork, I would say that there
is room, at least, to explore the potential opportunity to talk no
Imam, in my opinion, at this moment.
Is brave enough to take the lead, because the Muslim community, you
know, we're really good at just tearing people down. We're very
merciful for Red Pill movements and that kind of thing. But we're
very horrible to our own who take the step forward and try to do
something. You know, the Zionists, they invest 10 times in a failure,
because they know the 11th time he creates Google, we invest one time
he fails, and we tell him, never again. You have community. Don't
invest in him, even though we read in the Sira that when the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam sent Khalid Ibn Walid to
a tribe. Khalid Ibn Walid achieved his mission, but transgressed, and
the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Sallam is on record as saying,
Allahumma in the Abraham Allah I'm innocent of what Khalid has done
the ummah of the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu sallam, at that time
they saw Khalid Ibn Walid do Toba. They sent him back out with the
army. The ummah of today, I fear, would probably have said to Khalid
RadiAllahu, anhu, ya Khalid, we never knew, never letting you lead
an army again. Did you see what the Prophet said about you? You
think we're ever going to let you lead an army after what the
Prophet SAW said about you in the Hadith, and if ever a minority
said, Yahweh, lead. You are talented. Go and lead the army.
Probably we would have had some Imams who say, Don't do it. The
Prophet saw him said in the Hadith, I'm innocent of what
Khalid has done. I am innocent of what Khalid does. That's why I
think sometimes it's strange that the Ummah can read something and
say, masha Allah, that the prophet sent Khalid out. But when one of
our Imams makes a mistake and makes Toba, we cancel him and make
sure that he's never allowed to take the initiative again. That's
why, when you're asking the question now, what you should do
with your vote, the views expressed on the speaker's own and
do not affect the organization. I'm not telling you how to vote.
I'm encouraging you to come to the conclusion on your own, so people
in a way that people can say, Sammy didn't tell you, but if I
was in your position,
if Sammy was an American citizen, God save the king.
If Sammy was an American citizen, he would punish genocide. Joe and
given that there's still time until November, he would explore
the divisions amongst the Republicans with regards to their
stance on Israel, and he would try to take a few Muslims just to sit
down and have coffee. And he would say to himself, Rasulullah
sallallahu, Sallam used to go to the tents in hajj, and he didn't
have an army or power, and he was ridiculed by Quraysh. Let the
Ummah ridicule me if they want to be like Quraysh, let them be like
Quraysh. Let them ridicule me. See why I did that. Let them ridicule
me, and let me go and stand out the Republicans, la ASA, la Allah,
maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe I discover they're not as United on
Israel as they seem to be, and they will say to the Muslims, you
promised to punish Biden, and maybe we can work together on
other issues. I don't know if it will work. What I do know is this,
and I promise, it's a final sentence, I promise, I promise.
What I do know is this ay bad Allah,
we may not punish genocide Joe, even if we try, it may well be
Allah has written something different Musa, as Musa has one
interpretation of a situation, and he denounces it. Khadr has a
different because he knows the unknown. Musa is not necessarily
wrong alayhi salam, but Allah is showing he's in charge, and He
guides the outcome as he wishes. I don't know what Allah Subhanallah
has in terms of the outcome. What I do know is that my intention is
to punish genocide Joe for the sake of the Palestinians in the
way of Allah subhanahu wa, I ask Allah to make my path easy, to
achieve the justice and to give me the wisdom to identify where the
correct path is, and if this path will lead to harm, to guide me in
a way off this path, even if I continue to go with it. That's
what I want Allah to do, because the outcome belongs to Allah,
Subhanahu, WA ultimately. What I'm saying to you here is not that you
will punish genocide, Joe, I'm telling you to strive for justice
for the Palestinians, because Allah has said, the striving is
appreciated, not the outcome. Allah has said, the striving and
mobilization for the sake of justice is what Allah appreciates,
because Allah is in charge of the ark, and I trust that whatever
happens, Allah will choose the best outcome for the Muslims. Even
if we are going in the wrong way, Allah will guide us. I'm convinced
of this so based on my limited understanding of politics and what
I have now, Wallahi of genocide, Joe wins the second term after
committing a genocide, I feel I will be a humiliated, um, and I
won't be able to look myself in the mirror, and I won't be able to
look Rasulullah in the face when somebody in in his companionship
in Alfredo, Inshallah, if we ever get there, Inshallah, I hope we
get there, if somebody in his companionship say so, genocide,
Joe, you guys had the power to punish him. Why didn't you what
must say, Rasulullah. Ya Rasulullah. I told him to do so,
but, you know, they just felt it was a bit No, no, I want to face
that says, Ya Rasulullah, even if he wasn't punished, I did
everything that I could, and I'm proud of what I did. That's why I
meant by and this is why I finished on this particular point.
Your choice. There are four years EGF.
Four years of difficulty coming, whether it's Biden or Trump, the
choice for you is this, do you want to go through those four
years with dignity, or do you want to go through those four years
humiliated? I believe dignity matters. November, you will show
me whether it matters
to you.
Inshallah, Allah.
