Number one, if they are not living close by to a Muslim community,
they should try to move close by to a community that Jamar even if
they are downgrading the size of their home. Number two males need
to be put for some sort of rigor or to be men. And part of the
problem too is that I feel we have too many softies in our community.
They've been never too much. They've given too much comfort.
And so maybe you can't afford this lamp school, but try to find the
environment even if it's for the summertime. We have can't see

them some discipline and toughen them up a little bit. I grew up
doing martial arts and also play football. I think it's a rite of
passage for every young man who's been punched in the stomach or
