The Deen Show – Angelina Jolie concerns for Muslim Women in Afghanistan Forgets Frances Attack on Muslim Women

			Bismillah al Rahman al Rahim al hamdu Lillahi Rabbil aalameen as salaam alaikum, greenies a peace
Welcome to the de Shamir your host, and trending in the news is the topic of Afghanistan. All eyes
are on Afghanistan. So we got Angelina Jolie talking about Afghanistan just opening up her Instagram
account for the first time because she got a letter from a young girl from Afghanistan, we got Benny
Shapiro talking about Afghanistan, women have rights, they comply with Sharia. That means women
don't have rights within the framework of Islam under Sharia law. There's a lot that could be said
on a lot of the things that people are talking about. So to cross check some of these things and
		

			separate fact from fiction. Because in there, you're going to have Islam and these terms that you're
probably not familiar with being brought up. So we want to go ahead and educate you. We're not
siding with any political party. We just want to get to the truth, a lot of these matters. So let's
go ahead and bring our next guest out. Dr. subarea Ahmed here on the deen show.
		

			I said I'm on econ Peace be with you. Hello. likoma salam Rahmatullah already be upon you. How are
you doing? Alhamdulillah All Praise be to Allah, you see a lot of Alhamdulillah you see a lot of
people coming out of the woodwork. Now. It's interesting. You had Angelina Jolie. And I don't know
if this was a good opportunity for her now, because she didn't have an Instagram account. And now
under the pretext of helping the Afghan women, she's decided to launch her Instagram account, and
come out because someone wrote her a letter. And she's coming out to help the women of Afghanistan,
which seems like a very noble and righteous thing. What do you think about that? Well, first and
		

			foremost, as you mentioned, we are not here to support a people, the Taliban and Afghanistan or any
government any any, you know, people, we are here to dissect the truth. We want to find out there
are so many things going on from all over the world. We want to find out the truth from the friction
and what does Islam teach in all of these chaotic things, times that we are going through. So when
it comes to Angelina Jolie, you know, anytime anyone wants to help out, the people who are helpless,
we have to say there's a good date. However, we have to right away, we have to, you know, ask her a
question that he has, if you're helping out? Or if you're if you want to be the voice of the people,
		

			the girls in Afghanistan, what about the voice of the girls in this country in the US? What about
the women who are going through so much suffering in this country? Where is your voice for those
individuals? And then you may be asking, you know, whether Seville what voice of what people people
are free over here in this country? There is no suffering, right? A person may be thinking and
saying that.
		

			So what I would say to them is, I would say that, you know, what about the voice of those women,
93,000 of them each single year in the USA, they are raped in this country by Americans on on the
American women who is going to speak up who is going to be their voice. They are 20% of the ladies
in this country. They go through *, by their family members, by their friends, anyone who is
going to be there their voice, there are 7.8 million spousal abuse cases in this country, who is
going to be their voice, right? And the list goes on and on all of these meet to movement.
		

			So we have to be the voice of every person suffering anywhere in the world. may that be here? may
that be France, may that be Afghanistan or anywhere around the world. And that's what Islam teaches
us. I want to get the audience involved in the comment section below. I want you to this is pretty
straightforward and easy. If you guys can go ahead and do some research and put those numbers in the
comments to what Dr. Bill had mentioned some of these facts. And it seems like you're pointing out
some hypocrisy here. hypocrisy double standard. I mean, we have to be the voice of every person who
that who who does not have a voice. But why are we just picking and choosing only the Muslim ladies
		

			or only the Muslim girls? because that gives the impression that only Muslim ladies are suffering by
the Muslims? No, we have to let people know that this is a human problem. And it is prevalent,
unfortunately, in every country in the world. So we as humans, we as Americans, and yes, that's what
Islam teaches us as Muslims, we have to take care of every person poor, the needy, the hopeless and
the homeless, anywhere around the world. Okay, so it seems like okay, if there's a legitimate issue
here that we want to go ahead and address, we're going to dress as a community as a global human
community, right? But hold on, don't forget about like other where is the right at this time where
		

			you have women being oppressed, for instance, in France, and now they want to go to school, but they
can't go to school just because now they're wearing the hijab. They're imitating
		

			married the mother of Jesus, who Muslims By the way, love and revere, him and his Blessed Mother.
Jesus is one of the greatest messengers sent to mankind. Muslims love him and the Muslim woman.
They're obeying the commands of God Almighty. And now they're trying to dress in his modest way of
dress. And now France, Morricone, whoever the president over there and others, there's a pressing
the women, they're not let him go to school. Why? Angelina Jolie, this is your chance to shine and
help the Muslim woman of France? Would you agree? Exactly. You know, I received a post, actually.
And in that post, it says, you can display it later. women cannot go to school or study if they go
		

			against what they are ordered to wear, and will end up getting arrested. Then it says Which country
do you think that is? People all over the world MSA is Afghanistan, the Taliban know there's France
		

			somewhere various, the freedom of choice of the Muslim ladies in France, you know, they cannot go
outside freedom to what what they want to wear. So it's important. As I said, Islam is a just fade.
Islam takes all humans as equal. And we want to stand up for rights, human rights, you know, women's
rights, equality of all the humans. So we have to be fair, we have to be just, and that's a good
message for Angelina Jolie and all the people of conscious so what action items are getting action
items. Now we're getting to the de show audience viewers in the comments. I want you to add some of
these numbers. The amount of incense, you know, the destruction of society with the * industry. I
		

			mean, it's just rapid. I mean, homes are being destroyed. The little mines are being taken away. You
know, you have also * slavery, prostate hash prostitution, and you have * slavery happening here
in our lives in this country that we love. This is something that looked this up. This is something
the * ring is just, you know, through the roof, you have so many kids being molested.
* * is just rampant. And I mean, when when you hear this, like in America, that
there is * slavery happening today. I mean, it's industry that's growing. Why isn't it being
talked about? This is an action item for you guys. Just look at the statistics. Look at this and put
		

			it in the comments below. But
		

			let's give her Angelina Jolie some action items that she can actually so she can keep keep it fair
and balanced. Yeah. So brother, Eddie, just imagine these statistics that I mentioned. If they were
done by the people, by some Muslims by the Taliban, the wall would be an uproar. There will be a
wall to wall coverage in the media. Just imagine if Taliban were * 93,000 Muslim women in that
country. What do you think will happen? There would be invasion after invasion, you know, the poor
ladies up there. They're getting raped. No, we have to stand up for any person who is getting you
know, who's getting victimized. So we have to clean up our own country. We love this country. And
		

			you know, God wants us to be fair and just and help any person anywhere in the world. You also have,
we'll switch for a moment to a conservative voice that's out there. He's also of Jewish descent. And
let's touch upon this Benny Shapiro. He's got a pretty big following. And he's also creating some
hysteria here because he's using the term Shetty saying that women have rights that comply with
Sharia. That means women don't have rights. He's using the terms Islam within the framework of Islam
under Sharia law.
		

			And he's sending off a message kind of like, okay, now, if anything has to do with shittier Islam,
that now you know, cuz tech catastrophe is about to hit and he's using some really inflammatory
language out there. What do you have to say to some of these things that, like Ben is saying vanish,
saying, you know, it's really important. We have to be really cautious when anyone brings you any
news, the Koran says in chapter 49, Surah hoogenraad, verse number six, that if any disbeliever
brings you a news investigate, so you don't harm people out of ignorance, and you don't regret it
later on. So if someone is saying, you know what Sharia says this, Jihad means that that part of
		

			that country or that those people are doing that, we have to take it with a grain of salt, we have
to investigate first and foremost. So when we investigate Sharia, for example, Sharia literally it
means, you know, the guidance that our Creator has given for humanity, so we can live with peace
with the Creator, peace with other humans, and live in justice and equality and unity within all of
humanity. So that's what Sharia means. Sharia is not about oppressing women or taking you know,
		

			oppressing the people who are who are non believers. Sharia gives rights, equal rights to the women
		

			So if someone is saying, You know what? Sharia, we have to blame. We have to blame the Taliban
because they want to implement the Sharia. First and foremost, Taliban are no angels. They're not
perfect if they are doing anything wrong and they are obviously we have to blame them and not Islam.
Not sure we are and definitely not the Koran.
		

			So Sharia actually, the viewers may be surprised to find out, Sharia gave humongous rights to women
in the oldest continuous University in the whole world, according to UNESCO, it was made by a Muslim
lady who was empowered by the sherea sherea gives Muslim ladies not to be forced into marriage.
That's a surprise for Ben Shapiro, I guess, surely I give Muslim ladies that they can initiate a
divorce if they if they want to. They can have their own property. So all of this humongous rights
are given by the Sharia. If some countries not implementing it, we have to blame them, and not the
perfect Sharia that Allah God has given to us. A couple of points I want to mention to Benny
		

			Shapiro, I had Rabbi Shapiro on the deen show. Oh, really? And he was talking about, we were talking
about touching upon the Jewish Sharia, that you many people don't know you have also Christian
Sharia. You have also mentioned in the Bible, because many people don't know like Christians and
Jews who are Arabic speaking. They don't refer to God as God. They've referred to guys Allah. And
they have the term also Sharia. You have a shitty I mentioned 200 plus times in the Yeah, in the in
the Christian Jewish Bible. And this is confirmed, you can check I like I said, I had Rabbi Shapiro
and we touched upon this. So you had Moses, who was and this is great, because these are educational
		

			moments, we hear these things and people speaking anok academically, and they just, you know, going
off their whims and fancies and desires. A lot of people have this just hate inside their hearts.
And they don't know what's in their hearts. But you can just guess they're just angry, uneducated,
and now they're using such inflammatory language and words just to like rile people up, maybe get
their numbers up wherever the case and is big business bashing Islam. So again, like you said, we're
not supporting any political party or group. But as soon as you bring in Islamic terms and Islam,
Now hold on, let's let's, let's fact check you. So these are the things that we mentioned that they
		

			don't know should hear. It's in the Bible. 200 plus times, Moses, Moses brought Shinya Yes, if you
if you look at x 10 commandment Yeah. 10 commandment, if you look into the Old Testament, the Book
of Exodus chapter 20, verse number three, the 10 commandments are the Sharia guidance, that Prophet
Moses peace be upon him. Right, it might be prophet that he brought from God to the people. So we
said that is the guidance, which is a humongously beneficial guidance. In a worship only one God do
not make any graven images, be good to your parents, do not lie, do not cheat, do not murder. All of
these are Sharia guidance, we say that we're given by God to Prophet Moses and his people. So yes,
		

			Sharia is there in the Old Testament, and Sharia guidance is there in the New Testament, and then
the last prophet of God, Muhammad peace be upon him. He was given the complete guidance, a complete
Sharia using that humanity can prosper, get united, be moral, be just, and peace would be there
between humanity, definitely between humanity and the Creator. Yeah, we want to give credit where
credit is due, like, for instance, Angelina Jolie. She was at one point, I believe she was speaking
out and creating awareness for the greatest genocide that happened after world war two in Bosnia,
you had * camps set up there. And you had the techniques and these were people, their priests
		

			were blessing their guns, you know, and they were doing this on behalf of Christianity. That's what
they thought, but we know that this had nothing to do with Jesus's Christianity, but they are
Christian and did shut next and they were doing some really horrific evil things. in Srebrenica,
where many people don't know you can look this up. And this is a whole different topic. But when
people are doing good, we're going to come in that good, of course, so this is very important. Now
she's coming out hopefully she has a good intention. She's trying to do some good we'd invite her to
come onto the show. And she could talk about this and even Benny Shapiro, we bring him on, and let's
		

			have a conversation. It's very important to have these conversations to fact check things. So people
don't walk away thinking like okay, should he you know, Boogey Man coming to get me Islam backwards
oppresses women, you know, you know human being, and we could touch upon this, our human being will
make
		

			grave errors make mistakes, a they might end up or group of human beings might end up oppressing a
society of people but Islam can never be
		

			pressive it could never be that's an example of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. There's an
example coming from the Quran. You know, one example that we can give to Ben Shapiro, for example,
that there is a synagogue in Afghanistan that has been there for literally centuries, when Taliban
came to power, they actually protected they gave the Jews in Afghanistan a right to openly go and
pray in there, right. So the Jews have the they have the autonomy, to have their own culture, their
own synagogue their own freedoms. And that was the example coming from also Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him. When he went from Mecca to Medina, in the very first migration, he found a big number
		

			of use of there. So what he did was he made a constitution with them called as the Medina charter.
And in the charter, it says that the Jews and the Muslims would be one people, were going to look
out for each other. In the US, you have your own synagogues, your own culture, your own freedoms,
your own punishment system, your own justice system. So there was a so they were a autonomous Jewish
State within the true Islamic State. So that is the gold standard, that that we need to follow.
That's the big question. What is your measuring stick in life, your morality measuring stick? What's
your moral compass, we had, for instance, Habib, who's now like somebody who many people know of, he
		

			was a UFC fighter. And he got some heat, because he made a statement about these ring girls. I know
the ring girls, he said, this is like, they're pretty much useless, the job is useless, you follow
me not saying the women themselves, you know, Islam honors, the woman honors, there are, you know,
and so our mothers, you know, Heaven, as Prophet Muhammad said, is under the feet of your mother. So
this is something that you can end up wanting to hellfire. If, in today's society where you have
young kids don't f bombs, at their mothers, their parents, you know, throw them in throwing them
into nursing homes at the first chance they get so, and forgetting about them, right. So the grave
		

			respect towards our elders, it's kind of normal in the society, right? exposing women as *
objects, it's rampid. Here, you know, this is abuse at a high at a really high level. So where are
you now to go ahead and correct these wrongs that are happening, you follow me? And but here's the
thing, that's when the moral compass is on, what are you judging by? Its kind of you think, okay,
the less I wear, the more I'm free?
		

			You know, I have said this many times, yes, we have to call out any abuse of any rights anywhere in
the world. But us is in no position to call out, you know, racism in some other country, human
rights in some other country, women's rights in some other country, when we know that right in our
country. All of these abuses, you know, just last year, all of these racial riots that we saw, just
imagine if the same thing would have happened in Afghanistan. Media would be like in a big uproar,
the whole world would be in a in a in a big uproar wall to wall coverage. Look at this Muslims, you
know, no justice, no look at how they're oppressing the blacks and the people of color. So we have
		

			to be fair, we cannot be hypocrites, we cannot have double standard. Islam wants us to be fair. And
just yeah, here's one of the things that Lena jolly felt compelled to join in a movement when women
and young people in Afghanistan are losing the ability to communicate on social media and express
themselves freely. So we're talking about freedom of choice. I mean, this is I, you know, with all
due respect, we have not seen more people losing their ability of freedom of speech now here, like
we're experiencing here in the US. And now to go ahead and to make those comments. Again, without
mentioning the things that are going on here. You have so many people who will talk about certain
		

			topics, and they're getting their YouTube channels, their Facebook channels, everything is just
being taken down. People are losing them. So what happened to freedom of speech here that people are
losing? And now we're going to criticize someone in another country? What about our home right here?
Yeah, yeah. You know, they, I know, a few Muslims, coloreds, when they made some statements about
LGBT. They're really talking about the alphabet movement. Yes. Okay. So LGBT movement, right, the
homosexuality, the lesbian, all of that they have been banned from traveling to this country.
		

			So where is the freedom for those individuals to freely, you know, talk their mind and to have a
discussion and you know, and fear comments regarding that topic. Yeah. So it's important. Yeah,
yeah, that's that's one I mean, people have talked about, you know, other topics and they know they
cannot say certain words because they will get their videos taken.
		

			down, you know, so again, this is just a for Angelina Jolie and many others. I mean, this is we got
to keep it all across the board where it's fair and balanced. So one topic, you know, some people
some University may have in mind when they see the photos there and also the images coming from
there is, you know, this enforcement of the hijab, or the modest covering, no one has the right to
enforce people may say, right, women have women have the right, whatever they wear. But that's not
the case anywhere in the world, anytime in history. As all of us we know that
		

			unrestricted freedoms for any individual never happened in the history of humanity. I mean, a
society cannot be civilized with unrestricted freedoms, they have to be some restrictions to the
freedoms, yes, freedom should be there we are all four freedoms, Islam is there for freedoms, you
know, in fact, the Quran says in chapter two verse number 256, law IQUA Fie, that, that there is no
compulsion in faith, people have a freedom to choose their fate. However, it's important in our
country, there is restriction to what we can be or what we cannot wear. If he disobeyed those
restrictions, they would be arrested, there would be fines, you know, when you go to the airplane,
		

			people have always been, you know, taken out from the airplanes, because they were not wearing
something proper. When people go to schools and colleges, they're always a dress code. When we go to
a restaurant, there is a dress code. So right now there is a dress code for the mat for the mask.
Many places, you have to wear the mask, which is a mandatory. So Taliban and Afghanistan, if they
are enforcing certain laws of modesty. They're not going against anything that all of us all over
the world, that we are doing it likewise anyway,
		

			we may disagree with the methodology that they're using, maybe the aggressive methodology, but the
principle, the concept of modesty is there in any country, in the Bible is there Old Testament in
the New Testament is it is there in the first book of Corinthians, chapter 11, verse number five,
and six, the Christian ladies, they are commanded to also cover their hair, Second Amendment, right.
So when our Creator has given a dress code for both males and females, we have to cover certain
parts of the body, we cannot wear tight, close, we cannot be transparent, close, we cannot wait
close of the opposite gender. So these are the commandments that maintains the chastity and the
		

			harmony, and the justice and peace in the society. So we may disagree with the way that they are
implementing it. But we cannot disagree with the concept of modesty. Yeah, just to touch upon that,
yeah, you have certain medical interventions that are happening now and against people's
		

			consent. And many people are being forced into a corner. And they might not agree with things. But
this is how now
		

			it's being pushed on a certain pretext. And you don't really at the end of the day, you're losing
more and more of your freedom. So that's interesting, as you make that example over here, you also
now in another country, the whole point is, we have enough problems here. Why are we Why are we you
know, if we took the majority of that money, and spent it here you have people that like Chicago,
you know that you you know, they called Chicago shy rack. Oh, really? Yeah. You heard that term?
Yeah. Yeah. Because there's so much violence and shootings and whatnot, you have places like
Detroit, and other places that Imagine if we took that money, and we opened up youth centers, we
		

			made more Park, we increase the level for education. Imagine if that money was taken invested in
some of these urban areas and other places around the cities. Imagine you know how much more in
health care and imagine how much more good can be done $2 trillion,
		

			my taxpaying dollars and your taxpaying dollars and their taxpaying dollars that we have spent up
there, in a funny sound, right. You know, there is a literally 1000s if not millions of people in
this country who are in the student depth, they cannot purchase cars, they cannot purchase homes.
They're in a vicious cycle. We could have used that money, right over here for the education of our
youth, our children and our families. In all of these ways, they close to like $10 trillion in the
war in Afghanistan in different places. So there's precious money that we should be using over here.
How many single mother homes how many homes that are people don't have homes, they're living in
		

			cardboard boxes, just look at La, you look at you know, Chicago, look at these major cities where
people are homeless, right? Imagine how many people we can give homes take care of how many people
give jobs so they can have homes, how many people that money can go hands be spent wisely, properly
if put back here
		

			Yeah, you know, it's not just the money part is the loss of lives, loss of suffering, that's a whole
different, but we have to touch upon it in our more than 1 million people. People say 3 million, 4
million, 5 million just in Iraq, of the embargo, and the drone missiles and the occupation. And
this, you know, mega bombs, same thing, 1 million people, innocent people in Afghanistan, they had
to suffer. Our people in this country has to suffer, right? More than 5000 families, their youth,
they died, the soldiers over here. What about all of them? So it's important for us that yes, if we
see that there are problems in other country? Yes, let's work with them to solve the problems. And
		

			that's what Islam teaches. We have problems, enough problems in this country in our problems in
France, you know, Australia, Europe, South America. So invasion is not a solution.
		

			invasion is not a solution, right? war is not a solution. War should be the last resort, we have to
exhaust all the means, but we can prevent many, many sufferings. First, we have to take care of our
country. Many have said war is a racket, and you go until the country's and you plunder. And you
steal. And what happens is now it becomes a business. And it's sad to say, the other innocent Afghan
people's expense. So you mentioned something about the 51st state. Yeah, you know, it's really
important. Some of us may be surprised to find out that, you know, how come you USS pulling out of a
one is done. We may, you know, for us Americans, we think that you know, avani Stan is part of the
		

			US. It's not the 51st state of the US. No, we were uninvited guests in a one star in Afghanistan is
what he call it is called as the graveyard of the Empires. The Mongols came to rule of understand
they were defeated. Right. The Mughals came to rule of one Eastern, they were defeated. The British
three times in history, they wanted to rule of one is done. They were kicked out. Russia recently,
and us right now.
		

			So, you know, it's important that ruling and all of that, but you know, one important topic by the
ad is the opium trade.
		

			All of us we know, drug problem is a problem. Unfortunately, that is plaguing many parts of the
world, especially the Western countries have won a stand before the Taliban came to power in 1996.
There used to have like 95% of the opium trade. It was from Afghanistan before before the Taliban
came to power. After the Taliban came to power in 1996, all the way to 2001. They eradicated the
opium problem, and the narcotic problem. So one of the statements that they made when they came to
power now is that we want to make a one Eastern narcotic free. That's a good thing, right? That's a
good thing. But after they were kicked out by our forces in 2001, again, the opium trade, thanks to
		

			the blessings of the US, it went up again, 95% that's destroying humanity of our youth, our
children. I'm not saying that, you know, that they're angels. No, they are just like us. They are
making mistake, we have to support them. We have to educate them. This is what Islam says. But we
have to look at the realities, opium trade and the narcotics and the drug problem. At least they
want to solve it. We don't have a solution over here. I mean, you got all your your pipes, you know,
leaking in your house, and your house is flooding. And now you're over here, going to someone else's
house to try to, you know, patch up their plumbing. I mean, take care of, you know, we have so many
		

			issues happening, and I see what you said. I mean, it's just now going you had drone attacks, you
know, happening over there. You've had innocent people dying, innocent children. And it's just
interesting. Where were you like, for 20 years, someone like Angelina Jolie. And you had I had a
guest on the other day who was talking about that money that was spent in Afghanistan that went into
people's actually came back here. He was talking about how Coca Cola bottles and others, they were
priced up to like almost like 3040 bucks for for a kentico rally. So he would just bring brought
back here, there was no rows, no schools, there was there's nothing built there. Yeah. And the only
		

			winners I would say, it's not the one people it's not the, you know, American people. It is the war
machines, all of these big corporations, all of these, you know, all of these production plants, all
of these, you know, big CEOs, they were making money out of these wars.
		

			So we have to realize that it is coming from my and your taxpaying dollars.
		

			Have you heard the name of
		

			sister Yvonne Ridley? Yeah, just had her head around the program? Yes. Yes. Yes. So interesting,
right? We can demonize Taliban at the end of one is done all we want. Yes, they're not perfect.
We're not here to support them.
		

			Yvonne Ridley, way back about 20 or so years ago, she was captured. He was a US UK journalist. He
went off on a stand for reporting and she got captured by the Taliban. And she was there for a few
months or so. And she became really afraid. And she will he was abusing them and spitting at them
with a smile, the Taliban told her, you know, Why are you behaving like this? So with us, you are
our guest, we want to take make the best treatment of you. She was given a royal treatment and she
was freed. He went back to UK, England. And they're of our own choice, she embraced the fate of
Islam because of the behavior of the Taliban. So what we can what can we conclude from this? One
		

			major thing is the idea in the verbatim Word of God Almighty, the Quran, when the news comes to you,
from a facet from evildoer, from
		

			a person like this, you need to really do your research, go and check it up, you cannot just blindly
follow. So let's talk about that. And what lessons we can take from all this. You mentioned also
because that's the buzz now, you know, it's about women, and like the whole world's worried about
these women. I mean, so what do you say to this, you had also a reporter, an executive, others on
the ground? So you have other news coming out? That's no, no ours? Are our channels still up? We're
still good, you know. So it's like seeing through the media manipulation, the lies, the distortion,
and the agenda that many people push through naive minds, if you're naive, if you don't really have
		

			some fact checking done, then you're going to end up falling for a lot of the misinformation. Yeah,
so one important action item for all of us is chapter 49 of the Quran, verse number six, that
encourages and commands every single one of us, the believers to investigate the news. And we should
know that things are really fluid up there. We cannot make any conclusions when the things are
fluid. And we have to take everything with a grain of salt. Because, you know, obviously, the US we
lost the war, okay, this is just granted for presidents, right? involved in this war $2 trillion.
		

			You know, all of the suffering 20 years, we lost the war, we have to just take it, take it, right.
It's a hard pill to swallow for some people. However, losers demonize the winners.
		

			This is just a fact of war, people demonize each other in the war. So we have to take the news with
a grain of salt coming from both sides. I'm not just saying from the US, coming from both sides. So
we have to watch neutral news, Al Jazeera, for example, or BBC, for example. So we have to expand
our scope of the news media, the news channels and the social media. Number two is important that we
when we look into the realities of the ground, we also have to find out that what are the women in
Afghanistan, what are they saying, What are they doing? So NPR, they did a report in which they they
had a live interview with a journalist up there. And that journalist they were asked the question,
		

			What do you see on the street? Are the women up there? What are they doing? Do you see them? And he
reported back to NPR saying that, you know what, they're women. They're roaming around, there is a
coffee shop, I can see women there, they're socializing up there. And then when you see this news
anchor, you know, there is this lady
		

			of one news executive says, we thought we would be shut down by now. So this lady, a Muslim lady,
she's an anchor person, right? She's an anchor person. And she's saying that, you know, I'm there
live every day, having the news, and Taliban has not shut me down. And she is not the only person
there are many, many ladies like that. They're not perfect, but we have to know that there is more
to what our media is saying. So we as humans, an action item is investigate more, look into the
other channels, other you know, non American channels, I would say talk to Muslims talk to Muslim
scholars. But the most important thing is to not judge Islam by the actions of some people out
		

			there. Right Islam is perfect. Sharia is perfect. The Quran is perfect. The noble example of
Muhammad peace be upon him is perfect. So do not judge that which is perfect by the act.
		

			On the ground of those individuals who are not perfect, you know, Dr. Karen Armstrong, she said,
just like we don't want to judge Islam by the actions of some terrorists, we don't want to judge
Jesus by the actions of some Christian terrorist. Yes. So I would like to invite our guests to read
the Quran, which is a source of Islam. That's how you can find out that what Islam stands for, look
into the noble life of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, you will be amazed to find out that
		

			how he brought unity to humanity, how he eradicated racism, how we eradicated poverty, how he
uplifted women, equal to men in the eyes of Guardians, different responsibilities, but equality of
reward, how he brought morality, how he made a society as sober society, right? No one was drinking,
and no one was taking drugs. Just imagine a society like that in our time. So that is the beauty of
Islam. That's the guidance of Islam. And we invite you to study Islam. That is a beautiful
invitation. And just to repeat, we're here not to support any political party. But to give a clear
example of through the proper means, which is the Quran and the example of Mohammed, what Islam is,
		

			and what Islam isn't. So now, just really quickly, for the people out there who now they use this as
a pretext, you know, to want to still invade a country or countries. And they say, look, well, these
are the guys, you know, because the countries are invaded because of 911. And it's a harboring place
for terrorists. So under this pretext, this is why they feel they should be there. Or they're trying
to just go ahead and use inflammatory language to get people riled up to kind of get some other
country over there, get somebody over there to get back to square one.
		

			There is a professor in the in the Chicago campus here in the University of Chicago, and he wrote a
book called dying to win. He did a 25 year study on terrorism. And his main conclusion is that it's
not Islam or the Quran, or the Muslim culture that is making people extremist up there. It is the US
occupation is Dr. Pape, rubber paper. Yes, exactly. So non Muslim scholars who are specialists in
this field, they are saying that it is our own doing, that we are making terrorists. You know, they
were some drone missile operators, they came on the news, and they said, you know, what, 95 point
90% actually, of our drones, they hit the wrong target. They're hitting women and children and how
		

			homes and farmers and parties, and people are dying, children and women and you know, so they said
that, you know, we are creating the terrorist.
		

			So the best thing that we can do is, you know, Koran says in chapter five, verse number 32, that
saving one life is like saving all of humanity taking one life is taking the life of all of
humanity. Islam says that every life is precious, may that be women and children and black and white
and, and different religions, Islam and I mean, Muslims and Christians, all life is precious in
Islam. That means we as humans, we have to be equal. And just when we deal with other people, they
should not be any, you know, un vetoes, when it comes to Israel, for example, against the
Palestinians, no, all life is equal in the eyes of the in the eyes of God. So if we behave with that
		

			mindset, inshallah, God willing, there would be justice in the world, racism would be eradicated.
women would be uplifted, they will not be objectified. humanity would be an ideal humanity with our
with Allah's mercy and guidance. How just do you think people would be with themselves, and instead
of getting into a state of cognitive dissonance, where now that the truth was brought to them, they
investigated it further. And they saw like close to 4000 architects and engineers, and surveys have
been done, where people are demanding a new investigation. And now if they look at this study that
was done in independent study of $300,000, and they looked at all the evidence, and they saw that
		

			hold on, that actually, Islam we know Islam and Muslims. I mean, Islam is clearly nothing to do, nor
as encouraged killing innocent men women and showed us it is clear, it's lucidly clear. But now,
when the whole new slogan, the slogan comes out, never forget. But now when this really sinks in,
never forget that Islam. And like David Ray Griffin, who is a scholar in this area, he's actually a
Christian. And he says that all the evidence paraphrasing what he says that somehow linking Muslims
to this act has been fabricated. So and this is not some conspiracy theorist. These are this is an
act
		

			Academic and many academics, you know, structural engineers and others are coming out and saying
that, really mysims had nothing to do with it. So this is would someone be sincere with themselves
to accept that true because this, again, was a catalyst. So you got to, you have two things you can
deal with these people living in a cave. They just hate our way of life. They hate us, you know what
I mean? So they're gonna come, they don't even have TVs.
		

			So they're coming all the way over here, you know, to try to hurt us, or this is a big racket, this
is a big business. And that's the motivation behind 99% of these words, are you ready to accept that
truth? What do you think? You just with yourself? Yeah, we have to be just and we cannot be
gullible, you know, do not blindly follow the media, you know, media has their own agenda. They want
to have more sponsors, they want to have more business. So they want to just show that news that is
going to bring the most viewers, the news may be true, there may be small truth to it, but they will
just, you know, spin the truth. So it's important for us, a prime example would be invasion of Iraq,
		

			with the pretext of weapons of mass destruction. And now we found out now that
		

			who was that Prime Minister of UK, he has to come on the TV, he has to apologize that you know what,
we made a mistake, weapons of mass destruction. In 2003, when you was invaded Iraq with the false
pretext. That's a beautiful exam. That was a lie based on a clear lie. 1 million people who's going
to come on their back alleys on their back now, yes, of the US and the UK and the 54 allies who
supported them. These Muslims died and look at the power of the media and all these experts and
everybody coming together and they were able to come together and orchestrate this, this invasion to
come in and kill all these people. Look at that, Ben Shapiro, if you're listening this Yeah, I want
		

			you to do a show on this, how the universe is at fault. And who was the presidents of the right, it
was Bush, a conservative president, it is a porter, that Ben Shapiro supports him, come on, if you
are truthful, if you're a Jew, if you are a Bible believer, you have to have the guts to come and
say, us first wrong, we need to compensate them. Right. Every family should get millions and
millions of dollars, from your taxpaying dollars, because you supported a wall like that. Humans
Islam is just is equitable, we have to make sure that you have to stand up for every person,
		

			a Jew, a Christian, a Muslim, and atheist everyone. So we cannot just go and bomb people and then
say, you know what, we are sorry, no, go and compensate them.
		

			So at the end of the day, my dear friends, my dear viewers, right, by the way,
		

			this is not a show about geopolitics. This is a show about. We want to make sure that our Creator
has created with a purpose.
		

			And just as discussing about a one is done in the US and the war and all of that is not enough we
have to look at the higher the greater purpose that our our Creator has given to us. And that
purpose is that we should be worshiping the Creator. We should be adjust to people, good to the
neighbors good to parents, you know, follow the laws, the wonderful laws Allah has given. And Allah
has promised in the Quran Chapter number two, verse number 25. If a person has the right belief,
means not worshipping a human, an idol, an animal but worshiping only the creator and doing good
deeds the way our Allah has mentioned in the Quran, and through the example of Muhammad peace be
		

			upon him, right belief and doing good deeds, Allah promises the people eternal paradise.
		

			So that's very you and me and all of us, we want to go. So we need to make sure that by following
God's guidance as present in the last testament,
		

			which came through Muhammad peace be upon him, that is the way for our salvation and I hope and pray
that God has mercy on us, may God Unitas may god empower us. May God help us to defeat Islamophobia,
anti semitism, xenophobia, racism, anything out there and that is possible when we wake up when we
realize there is a creator there is a last testament the Koran example of Muhammad peace be upon him
and that's the way for having the best in this world. inshallah God Willing paradise in the
hereafter. A lot to think about. We got the message hopefully get to Angelina Jolie, Benny Shapiro
and others out there, the conservative voices people out there, we got a lot in common and other
		

			things that we can build on and I hope that people can benefit from some of this. Some of the things
that we've just discussed, thank you very much lox, calm Assalamualaikum. And thank you guys for
tuning in here to the deen show. help get this message out to Angelina Jolie, Ben Shapiro, and we
invite them to come on the program so we can have a nice discussion about these things, putting
things from a different perspective.
		

			From the perspective of really sincerely trying to get the truth out there, especially if you're
uneducated in Islam, continue to tune in, read the Quran for yourself. And check yourself where you
really get your information and be sincere and do what our guest was talking about. Ask the creator
alone for guidance, and he will facilitate a way and be hungry and have that earnest desire to
really want to know the truth, because the truth shall set you free. We'll see you next time hannity
