Shadee Elmasry – How is that offensive

People say oh my gosh, it's offensive. What is offensive?

Every idea set of ideas has its own parameters. If we can accept

that, then we will know how to interact anywhere. Every set of

ideas has its own parameters. Okay? I mean, you can't tell me

someone who is a Wall Street broker and owns two homes and yet

wants to claim that he's a communist, and owns a home in

Greenwich, Connecticut, and another one in Hawaii. All right,

and he's a, you know, one of these Wall Street mavens, and then tells

me I'm a communist. Right? Well, this doesn't make any sense. So

likewise, religions have certain principles. And I've we reached

you gotta believe in the Prophet that's the first principle. Okay,

and Napoli and receiving his message and not believing in Him,

puts you out, you've chosen to be outside the camp of Islam.

Alright, so I think it's quite obvious to any Muslim with any

sense of common sense, really, that these are the principles of

Islam and they have to be observed
