That's where we come from. But that's a part of what we've lost.
We have to begin again, to understand that we have a concept in Islam is called the concept of jihad.
It is justifiable disagreement. It's not disagreement, just because I'm disagreeable
is justifiable disagreement. And the important takeaway from this is the following. Because this is what makes our conversation so difficult.
If I go into the conversation,
understanding that there is the possibility of multiple justifiable points of view, then the point of the conversation is to learn what those justifiable points of view are, and to separate those from those points of view that are not justified.
The virus, no my point about that. But if I don't have that mentality, then I'll go into the conversation on the understanding that there was one right view.

And as soon as she's done, what?
The whole time she's speaking or the whole time he's speaking, you may not know no defense mechanism.
This is what we have to get away from brothers and sisters.
And this is why it's so important for us on a very fundamental level, to get back to a basic religious literacy in our community.
There are many things, as I said that there is no discussion on but look at all of the issues that have been raised in this conference. What is the best way to create wealth in our community? There's going to be one point of view about that. And even if there is one point of view, because at some point, we got to make a decision, how are we going to arrive at that?
We want to have to have the kinds of discussions that will enable us to come up with the very best point of view. And that means a willingness to listen and
