If there's anything that brings me to tears

00:00:03 --> 00:00:08

or puts my soul to shame, it is

00:00:08 --> 00:00:14

when I see children, mothers, fathers, elders in

00:00:14 --> 00:00:20

Gaza look at the camera and say, where

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

are the Muslims?

00:00:23 --> 00:00:25

They used to say, where are the Arabs?

00:00:27 --> 00:00:29

And they could ask that, and I'm not

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

Arab, so they're not speaking to me.

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

They're speaking to two-thirds of you.

00:00:38 --> 00:00:41

Now they consistently, they may still say, where

00:00:41 --> 00:00:42

are the Arabs?

00:00:44 --> 00:00:47

But they consistently say, where are the Arabs?

00:00:48 --> 00:00:49

Where are the Muslims?

00:00:53 --> 00:00:58

And so my question for you is, it's

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

a simple one, but it's for you.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03

Are you a Muslim?

00:01:06 --> 00:01:07

Where are you?

00:01:10 --> 00:01:10

Where am I?

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12

Are we Muslims?

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

And when those children or elders look into

00:01:18 --> 00:01:20

the camera and say, where are the Muslims?

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

Do you accept that they're speaking to me

00:01:24 --> 00:01:25

and you?

00:01:26 --> 00:01:27

Are you a Muslim?
