The reality, guys. Ready for it? Islam has

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

taken over the world. After I converted,

00:00:05 --> 00:00:07

I felt closer to Jesus than when I

00:00:07 --> 00:00:09

was a Christian. Repeat that again. They're taking

00:00:09 --> 00:00:11

over the caliphate. Okay. Hold on.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:13

The caliphate. Is that like Oh, there's white

00:00:13 --> 00:00:15

people in there. There's people at ballet. Don't

00:00:15 --> 00:00:17

even know how to wear the freaking hijab.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19

Don't You guys with this new bill,

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

once you threaten an American's free speech,

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

you might as well have attacked baseball. So

00:00:24 --> 00:00:27

this bill is dangerous and unconstitutional and wrong

00:00:27 --> 00:00:30

on every level. Islam speaks about Jesus.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

Your Koran.

00:00:31 --> 00:00:33

Say it the birth of our dear Lord

00:00:33 --> 00:00:35

Jesus Christ. We know there are many benefits

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

to the use of black seed. That's why

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

I used the black seed by Tasneem, and

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

50% of the profits from your order will

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

go towards establishing the Deen Center, the Masjid

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

Catholic also.

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

And people have been sending me at the

00:01:08 --> 00:01:09

same time

00:01:09 --> 00:01:10

a lot of these clips that have been

00:01:10 --> 00:01:12

recently coming out from the PBD podcast.

00:01:13 --> 00:01:15

Islam has taken over the world.

00:01:15 --> 00:01:16

PBD,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:19

because they know that, we got to meet,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:20

Patrick Ben David.

00:01:21 --> 00:01:22

Had some good things to say about him.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:24

And now,

00:01:25 --> 00:01:27

it's quite a twist now. The direction that

00:01:27 --> 00:01:28

they're they're going,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

we're gonna go ahead and cover with our

00:01:30 --> 00:01:31

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

I wanna thank, people who've been sending me

00:01:37 --> 00:01:38

Omar,

00:01:38 --> 00:01:40

was also a fan of the PBD podcast

00:01:40 --> 00:01:43

for a lot of Muslims. That's changing now.

00:01:43 --> 00:01:45

That's a big demographic that

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

Patrick's gotta really think about that they're losing

00:01:47 --> 00:01:49

here. So let's get into

00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

this program Sheikh Macheal

00:01:51 --> 00:01:53

Macheal Smith.

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

How are you doing? I'm doing good. It's

00:02:48 --> 00:02:50

Amazing. Amazing. And

00:02:50 --> 00:02:51

bless it.

00:02:52 --> 00:02:54

Let's get right into this clip. How's that?

00:02:54 --> 00:02:54

Yeah. Let's look at it.

00:02:55 --> 00:02:58

Anytime get straight into this and get some

00:02:58 --> 00:03:00

of your feedback because you're an American. Yeah.

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

Yeah. Definitely.

00:03:01 --> 00:03:04

You're also you're a former Baptist. Yeah. Catholic.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05

Yeah. Yeah. So you have a mix of

00:03:05 --> 00:03:06

both here. Yeah. Yeah.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:07

And you're,

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

born,

00:03:10 --> 00:03:11

bred, and raised American.

00:03:12 --> 00:03:14

And at the same time you were so

00:03:14 --> 00:03:17

in love, intrigued by Islam, you became now

00:03:17 --> 00:03:19

somebody who's a teacher of Islam. Right? An

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

academic in Islam. Yep. Yep. Been teaching

00:03:22 --> 00:03:24

Islamic law, tafsir, you know,

00:03:25 --> 00:03:27

breakdown of the of the sunnah, breakdowns of

00:03:27 --> 00:03:29

the exegesis of the Quran for a long

00:03:29 --> 00:03:31

time now. And so,

00:03:31 --> 00:03:33

I mean, I accepted Islam over 20 years

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

ago and right away just went into study,

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

deep study of it. And so,

00:03:36 --> 00:03:38

let's take a look at it. So I

00:03:38 --> 00:03:40

I wanna just because some people sometimes they

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

can get past certain things because now it's

00:03:42 --> 00:03:44

like, okay, it's different from our culture. But

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

let's say if we were sitting with a

00:03:45 --> 00:03:47

priest, the priest would have, like, you know,

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

all black and he'd have a white, what

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52

is that called? The Not sure.

00:03:53 --> 00:03:55

By the Thai here area. Yeah. Let's say

00:03:55 --> 00:03:58

if you had who he had, recently, Maramar,

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

the bishop. Okay. Okay. You know, he's got

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

the orthodox thing going off. Yeah. Yeah. So

00:04:02 --> 00:04:05

how would you define, this? This is, just

00:04:05 --> 00:04:07

a kind of traditional Arabic kind of like,

00:04:07 --> 00:04:07

so,

00:04:08 --> 00:04:10

with my kufi on the the kufi or

00:04:10 --> 00:04:12

the head is kind of something that many

00:04:12 --> 00:04:15

Muslims wear to represent their Islam and,

00:04:15 --> 00:04:16

just kind of close to the way of

00:04:16 --> 00:04:18

the prophet, a lot of people like to

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

dress in that way. And, you didn't become

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

Arab now, did you? Because all people oh,

00:04:22 --> 00:04:24

you're Muslim. You're Arab. My name is Michael

00:04:24 --> 00:04:26

Smith, man. Michael Smith. Michael Smith?

00:04:26 --> 00:04:28

Yeah. As apple pie in baseball, man. That's

00:04:28 --> 00:04:31

American. Right? Alright. And then Let's get into

00:04:31 --> 00:04:33

this. Here's the reality, guys. Ready for it?

00:04:33 --> 00:04:36

Islam has taken over the world. Oh, like

00:04:36 --> 00:04:38

right here. Okay. Should I pause it right

00:04:38 --> 00:04:40

there? I mean, this this Islam has taken

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

over the world kinda narrative.

00:04:42 --> 00:04:45

It's it's it's a old narrative, man. It

00:04:45 --> 00:04:47

goes orientalism back, like, way back. This kind

00:04:47 --> 00:04:50

of, like, make make Islam the monster. Right?

00:04:50 --> 00:04:53

Make Islam evil. Make everyone scared of it.

00:04:53 --> 00:04:55

I mean, it's a very old old tactic.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

Islam doesn't have global *,

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

agenda. Islam wants

00:05:02 --> 00:05:04

to show, allow people to see the truth.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:06

What did the prophet, peace and blessings be

00:05:06 --> 00:05:08

upon him, teach? What did all of the

00:05:08 --> 00:05:10

prophets, peace and blessings All the prophets. Going

00:05:10 --> 00:05:11

all the way back to Adam. Jesus one

00:05:11 --> 00:05:14

of them. I I often tell some people,

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

and I don't want people to misunderstand

00:05:15 --> 00:05:17

this. I often tell people that after I

00:05:17 --> 00:05:18

converted,

00:05:18 --> 00:05:20

I felt closer to Jesus than when I

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

was a Christian. Repeat that again. Okay. So

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

after you converted to Islam, I felt closer

00:05:25 --> 00:05:27

to Jesus. Why? Let me say why.

00:05:27 --> 00:05:30

Because I felt as if Christianity was pay

00:05:30 --> 00:05:31

you to say that? No, bro. This is

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

just my heart, man. I mean, it it's

00:05:34 --> 00:05:35

when you objectively

00:05:36 --> 00:05:38

look at what Islam is teaching, you'll you'll

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

see what what I'm saying. What I meant

00:05:40 --> 00:05:41

was that,

00:05:42 --> 00:05:45

I I felt that Christianity for me, it

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

was a religion about Jesus,

00:05:48 --> 00:05:49

but Islam was a religion of Jesus. What

00:05:49 --> 00:05:51

did he actually do? How did he live?

00:05:51 --> 00:05:52

I would read verses

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

of the bible about how he lived, what

00:05:55 --> 00:05:57

he ate, his diet, his way of prayer.

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

Right? And when I converted to Islam, this

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

is over 20 years ago now,

00:06:03 --> 00:06:05

I felt closer. I felt even closer. Felt

00:06:05 --> 00:06:07

even closer. Right? And deep. You felt closer

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

to Jesus. You felt close on him Yes.

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

Yes. As a Muslim. Yes. Because it wasn't

00:06:11 --> 00:06:14

about worshiping him. It was it was about

00:06:14 --> 00:06:15

following

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

a way

00:06:16 --> 00:06:19

that he had laid down, not making him

00:06:19 --> 00:06:21

the objective of that. Right? And that's what

00:06:21 --> 00:06:23

people kinda have lost lost sight of. But

00:06:23 --> 00:06:25

let me get back to this video. Right?

00:06:25 --> 00:06:27

This kind of idea that Islam is taking

00:06:27 --> 00:06:30

over, it kind of puts people on guard.

00:06:30 --> 00:06:32

They don't wanna objectively look at it because

00:06:32 --> 00:06:34

you just made it evil. You made it

00:06:34 --> 00:06:35

something that's trying to take no one wants

00:06:35 --> 00:06:37

to be taken over no matter what it

00:06:37 --> 00:06:39

is. So by saying Islam is taking over,

00:06:40 --> 00:06:41

what does he mean? Most of them, they

00:06:41 --> 00:06:44

go down the route of, you know, population.

00:06:44 --> 00:06:46

Muslim families are typically bigger. You know, the

00:06:46 --> 00:06:49

western secular model is kind of Yeah. Highlighting

00:06:49 --> 00:06:51

have 1 kid and a dog. You're good

00:06:51 --> 00:06:52

to go. Yes.

00:06:52 --> 00:06:55

Our our friend now, Patrick, he often is

00:06:55 --> 00:06:57

repeat saying this that you can even have

00:06:57 --> 00:06:59

more kids. It's the competition. Muslims are having

00:06:59 --> 00:07:01

so many kids. Yeah. Well, I mean I

00:07:01 --> 00:07:02

mean, it's

00:07:03 --> 00:07:06

that's definitely the numbers are there for sure.

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

Like, you can't deny the fact It's good

00:07:07 --> 00:07:11

thing having families. Yeah. Exactly. Because Islam, the

00:07:11 --> 00:07:13

prophetic model of our our prophet Muhammad and

00:07:13 --> 00:07:15

all of the prophets was a a model

00:07:15 --> 00:07:17

of caring for the immediate family, having a

00:07:17 --> 00:07:20

a taking care, investing in that next generation.

00:07:20 --> 00:07:23

And I think the individualistic society, what happens

00:07:23 --> 00:07:24

is it's all about my. It's all about

00:07:24 --> 00:07:26

me. What am I gonna accomplish?

00:07:26 --> 00:07:29

Having children, raising children takes a level of

00:07:29 --> 00:07:30

sacrifice from yourself.

00:07:30 --> 00:07:32

Right? I'm a father of 3. I understand.

00:07:32 --> 00:07:34

It's just not about my own progress. It's

00:07:34 --> 00:07:37

about investing in the progress of another generation.

00:07:37 --> 00:07:38

And the more children you have, the it

00:07:38 --> 00:07:41

becomes, it's a challenge like everyone knows. So

00:07:41 --> 00:07:43

so this idea, like, Islam is taking over.

00:07:43 --> 00:07:44

I think right away,

00:07:44 --> 00:07:47

we can recognize he's he's putting everyone in

00:07:47 --> 00:07:49

a defensive mode. Islam is taking over. Why?

00:07:49 --> 00:07:51

Because some kids were praying on campus.

00:07:52 --> 00:07:54

Prayer on campus is now a sign that

00:07:54 --> 00:07:56

Islam is taking over the world.

00:07:57 --> 00:07:58

I I think there's a problem with that.

00:07:59 --> 00:08:01

Let's continue on here. They've already taken over

00:08:01 --> 00:08:03

the Middle East. We've seen that. They've taken

00:08:03 --> 00:08:05

over Europe. Do you see what's going on

00:08:05 --> 00:08:07

in France? Time out right here.

00:08:07 --> 00:08:09

What does that mean? Let's be specific. What

00:08:09 --> 00:08:10

are you what are you saying happening in

00:08:10 --> 00:08:12

France, Germany? Like, what are the specific things?

00:08:12 --> 00:08:15

You're just naming different places. What's happening in

00:08:15 --> 00:08:17

each of those places so that we can

00:08:17 --> 00:08:20

discuss that. Right? That that's very important. This

00:08:20 --> 00:08:21

is this is the objection we have because,

00:08:22 --> 00:08:23

Patrick has my number

00:08:24 --> 00:08:27

and he had before a Muslim and also

00:08:27 --> 00:08:29

a Christian, why don't he be fair and

00:08:29 --> 00:08:31

object? Come, let's give some some

00:08:31 --> 00:08:33

some opportunity to go ahead and debate these

00:08:33 --> 00:08:37

things. Perspective. Perspectives and pushback. You know? Definitely.

00:08:37 --> 00:08:38

So go ahead and finish what you're saying.

00:08:38 --> 00:08:39

Yeah. No. I'm just saying it's abstract. He's

00:08:39 --> 00:08:41

not giving us, he's saying this is happening

00:08:41 --> 00:08:43

everywhere. What what do you mean it's happening

00:08:43 --> 00:08:45

everywhere? Right? If we look at some of

00:08:45 --> 00:08:48

the European countries that were most heavily engaged

00:08:48 --> 00:08:50

in colonialism in the early,

00:08:51 --> 00:08:53

and the the the height of colonialism,

00:08:53 --> 00:08:56

now they're having a problem that these the

00:08:56 --> 00:08:58

the places that they colonize are coming back

00:08:58 --> 00:09:00

to their own homeland. You are the first

00:09:00 --> 00:09:03

ones colonizing places. You were the first spreading

00:09:03 --> 00:09:04

your empires across the world.

00:09:05 --> 00:09:06

Right? And so,

00:09:07 --> 00:09:08

I think it's very interesting the perspective he's

00:09:08 --> 00:09:11

taking. Let's keep going. In London, in UK,

00:09:11 --> 00:09:12

in Germany, in the Netherlands,

00:09:13 --> 00:09:16

all over Sweden, all over Europe, they're taking

00:09:16 --> 00:09:18

over the caliphate. Okay. Hold on.

00:09:18 --> 00:09:21

The caliphate. He's throwing out buzzwords.

00:09:21 --> 00:09:24

Buzzwords. Literally just throwing out buzzwords. The caliphate.

00:09:25 --> 00:09:26

What? What about it? Like, can you explain

00:09:26 --> 00:09:28

that? And you can't just throw out a

00:09:28 --> 00:09:30

word and just expect I was like, oh,

00:09:30 --> 00:09:32

okay. Yeah. The caliphate. What about it? What

00:09:32 --> 00:09:33

are you trying to say? Oh, the pope.

00:09:33 --> 00:09:35

Oh, the, what was what I'm trying to

00:09:35 --> 00:09:37

say. It's very shallow. It's very shallow. Yes.

00:09:37 --> 00:09:39

But but it's these buzzwords that now just

00:09:39 --> 00:09:41

creates people are just like, okay. It it

00:09:41 --> 00:09:43

it creates, you know, this

00:09:44 --> 00:09:45

this tension.

00:09:45 --> 00:09:48

Yeah. So here's my recommendation to people. My

00:09:48 --> 00:09:49

recommendation is

00:09:50 --> 00:09:52

to go and talk to people

00:09:52 --> 00:09:54

face to face.

00:09:54 --> 00:09:57

Interact with another human being that shares a

00:09:57 --> 00:10:00

slightly different perspective with you. Sit with them.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:02

Converse with them. Understand them. Look into their

00:10:02 --> 00:10:05

eyes. This is our our our prophet taught

00:10:05 --> 00:10:07

a method of of dialogue. A lot of

00:10:07 --> 00:10:09

my research, as you mentioned, my two books,

00:10:09 --> 00:10:10

when hearing becomes listening in with the heart

00:10:10 --> 00:10:13

and mind, I speak about this prophetic method

00:10:13 --> 00:10:13

of connection.

00:10:14 --> 00:10:16

Regardless of who he was dealing with, the

00:10:16 --> 00:10:18

prophet Muhammad, peace and blessing be upon him,

00:10:18 --> 00:10:20

he wanted an intimate connection with people.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:23

So as long as we keep otherizing

00:10:23 --> 00:10:26

people, we're never gonna have understanding between us.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:28

Right? This is deep. This is deep. We

00:10:28 --> 00:10:30

we have to connect. And so instead of

00:10:30 --> 00:10:32

listening to people talk about other people, why

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35

don't you go and you yourself enter meet

00:10:35 --> 00:10:36

them? Let's talk, man. Right? Why don't you

00:10:36 --> 00:10:37

go to a campus and go there? Speak

00:10:37 --> 00:10:38

to them. Explain. Like, they have these things

00:10:38 --> 00:10:40

that are called, like, listening sessions, which are

00:10:40 --> 00:10:43

pretty it's pretty interesting. Right? It's let us

00:10:43 --> 00:10:45

listen and hear which are pretty it's pretty

00:10:45 --> 00:10:47

interesting. Right? It's let us listen and hear

00:10:48 --> 00:10:50

your perspective. Right? Let us and then let's

00:10:50 --> 00:10:52

let you should now listen to our perspective.

00:10:52 --> 00:10:53

And what happens is

00:10:53 --> 00:10:56

sometimes we'll realize that there's so much that

00:10:56 --> 00:10:57

we overlap and then truly,

00:10:58 --> 00:11:01

agree with. And there may be enlightenment that

00:11:01 --> 00:11:03

happens on both sides. Yeah. So you throw

00:11:03 --> 00:11:04

out you know, if you can go ahead,

00:11:04 --> 00:11:06

I mean, and and always,

00:11:07 --> 00:11:09

you throw out caliphate for example. Yeah. What

00:11:09 --> 00:11:10

like you said, unpackage that. What does that

00:11:10 --> 00:11:12

mean? I you can think,

00:11:12 --> 00:11:13

what

00:11:14 --> 00:11:16

the perception they're trying to create, again, this

00:11:16 --> 00:11:19

tension, this negative World dominance. World dominance, but

00:11:19 --> 00:11:21

hold on, if you have Khalafat, you know

00:11:21 --> 00:11:23

khalifa, if you had at a time in

00:11:23 --> 00:11:26

Jerusalem when the Muslims were under khalifa, right?

00:11:27 --> 00:11:28

What happened? Didn't Omer

00:11:29 --> 00:11:31

this is what, the 3rd caliph,

00:11:31 --> 00:11:34

right? He actually repopulated Jerusalem with Jews, the

00:11:34 --> 00:11:35

Muslims,

00:11:35 --> 00:11:38

Jews. He literally brought them back after

00:11:39 --> 00:11:41

people who follow the other 2 co hosts

00:11:41 --> 00:11:43

with all due respect, they're Christian. It was

00:11:43 --> 00:11:45

the Christians that kicked out the Jews and

00:11:45 --> 00:11:46

said, no, this is a no go zone,

00:11:46 --> 00:11:48

you cannot come here. They say the similar

00:11:48 --> 00:11:50

thing with Spain. Right? The similar thing that

00:11:50 --> 00:11:52

it was Muslims that were helping the Jews

00:11:52 --> 00:11:54

of, of Andalus at the time. Under the

00:11:54 --> 00:11:55

caliph.

00:11:55 --> 00:11:56

But, again, when you're just throwing out a

00:11:56 --> 00:11:59

buzzword, you're just throwing it. It's it's it's

00:11:59 --> 00:12:00

you're lobbing it up there in the air

00:12:01 --> 00:12:03

and hoping people take the most negative meaning,

00:12:03 --> 00:12:05

without any depth there of true true understanding.

00:12:06 --> 00:12:08

Yeah. That that's not being It's not fair.

00:12:08 --> 00:12:10

It's not academic affairs. Absolutely not. And it

00:12:10 --> 00:12:11

it's and I'm gonna say it again. It's

00:12:11 --> 00:12:13

it's shallow. We're not going deep here. Is

00:12:13 --> 00:12:15

this disingenuous? Yeah.

00:12:15 --> 00:12:17

Yes. Talking about I have much love to

00:12:17 --> 00:12:19

the moderates. Let's stop here. Let's stop here.

00:12:19 --> 00:12:22

Much love. He has much love. He can't

00:12:22 --> 00:12:25

he For the moderate Just stop it. The

00:12:25 --> 00:12:25

moderate

00:12:25 --> 00:12:27

is interesting because it's I'm okay with you

00:12:27 --> 00:12:27

if you fit my definition of what Islam

00:12:27 --> 00:12:29

is. So you, technically, now

00:12:29 --> 00:12:32

he's like, where are the moderates? Like, so

00:12:32 --> 00:12:34

you are you moderate to who? Moderate to

00:12:34 --> 00:12:35

who? So so what does that mean? So

00:12:35 --> 00:12:37

you are you moderate to who? Moderate to

00:12:37 --> 00:12:38

who? So so what does that mean? That

00:12:38 --> 00:12:40

means I don't pray 5 times a day?

00:12:40 --> 00:12:42

Yeah. That means I don't care about my

00:12:42 --> 00:12:44

brothers and sisters in Palestine

00:12:44 --> 00:12:47

who, a genocide is happening. What what is

00:12:47 --> 00:12:49

moderate to you? Again, it's a word that

00:12:49 --> 00:12:51

doesn't have depth to it because it's not

00:12:51 --> 00:12:54

defined. Yeah. Right? And so we're the moderates.

00:12:54 --> 00:12:56

Whoever we put up, he'll point and by,

00:12:56 --> 00:12:57

oh, he's not moderate.

00:12:58 --> 00:13:00

Right? And so wait. What does that even

00:13:00 --> 00:13:02

mean moderate? What are we talking about? What

00:13:02 --> 00:13:04

does that mean? Are there specific issues

00:13:04 --> 00:13:06

that there's an extreme stance on? For sure.

00:13:06 --> 00:13:08

Are there issues that there could be a

00:13:08 --> 00:13:10

a lenient stance on them in the community?

00:13:10 --> 00:13:12

Yes. But what are those issues, and what

00:13:12 --> 00:13:13

do you mean by where are the moderates

00:13:13 --> 00:13:15

at? Right? Do you mean

00:13:15 --> 00:13:17

what does that mean? Someone not practicing, is

00:13:17 --> 00:13:19

that a moderate to you? So that would

00:13:19 --> 00:13:21

be if you were there if you were

00:13:21 --> 00:13:22

there right now, these are the questions you'd

00:13:22 --> 00:13:24

ask, and then now you can go ahead

00:13:24 --> 00:13:26

and develop some kind of understanding. You can

00:13:26 --> 00:13:27

get educated. You can push back. You can

00:13:27 --> 00:13:29

go back and forth and go ahead and

00:13:30 --> 00:13:31

as I I always say, we're an open

00:13:31 --> 00:13:33

book. Yeah. Talk to us. Exactly. And talk

00:13:33 --> 00:13:35

about us. Exactly. To us. And and if

00:13:35 --> 00:13:36

we look at if we look at,

00:13:37 --> 00:13:40

the vast majority or all of those protesting

00:13:40 --> 00:13:42

from the Muslim community in the encampments around

00:13:42 --> 00:13:45

the country today, these are these are nonviolent

00:13:45 --> 00:13:45

protests.

00:13:46 --> 00:13:48

These are moderate Muslims. If if,

00:13:48 --> 00:13:50

my understanding of the word moderate, these are

00:13:50 --> 00:13:54

people who love humanity. They love their Muslim

00:13:54 --> 00:13:56

brothers and sisters. They're tired of,

00:13:57 --> 00:13:57

unchecked,

00:13:58 --> 00:13:59

militaristic

00:13:59 --> 00:14:02

aggression against a defenseless population.

00:14:03 --> 00:14:05

And they they're they're upset that the people

00:14:05 --> 00:14:07

are just turning a blind eye and letting

00:14:07 --> 00:14:10

history repeat itself. And so, that word moderate

00:14:10 --> 00:14:11

to me. So let's let it let's listen

00:14:11 --> 00:14:13

to them for a bit. Much love to

00:14:13 --> 00:14:15

the moderate Muslims out there. Respect to you.

00:14:15 --> 00:14:17

But where are they? But but Speak up.

00:14:17 --> 00:14:19

Cut your question, Naila. Because when you when

00:14:19 --> 00:14:21

you say you could talk about, be anti

00:14:21 --> 00:14:23

Semitic and anti Jewish and nothing happens and

00:14:23 --> 00:14:25

it's totally cool. I I think in this

00:14:25 --> 00:14:27

sense because it's Israel that from what I'm

00:14:27 --> 00:14:29

seeing from the setup from China and Soros.

00:14:29 --> 00:14:31

But I mean, if Kanye or anybody else,

00:14:31 --> 00:14:34

all these people mentioned anything about, you know,

00:14:34 --> 00:14:36

Jews run the world, they get canceled. So

00:14:36 --> 00:14:38

you can't say No. That it's not right.

00:14:38 --> 00:14:39

They don't get canceled. No. What do you

00:14:39 --> 00:14:40

mean, Kanye? Their

00:14:41 --> 00:14:42

corporations

00:14:42 --> 00:14:44

that chose to do business with them? Yeah.

00:14:45 --> 00:14:48

So so this is quite interesting. I mean,

00:14:48 --> 00:14:50

the other person is kind of pushing back

00:14:50 --> 00:14:51

that,

00:14:51 --> 00:14:53

we've already had a

00:14:53 --> 00:14:55

a culture in America and in the west

00:14:55 --> 00:14:55

of,

00:14:56 --> 00:14:57

the

00:14:57 --> 00:14:58

cultural,

00:14:58 --> 00:15:01

you know, stigma or the the evil of

00:15:01 --> 00:15:04

speaking against any demographic in a derogatory way,

00:15:04 --> 00:15:06

especially against the Jewish population.

00:15:06 --> 00:15:08

And what he's saying here is pretty deep.

00:15:08 --> 00:15:10

It's like, wait. There was already a status

00:15:10 --> 00:15:10

quo

00:15:11 --> 00:15:14

of being anti Semitic speaking straight up against

00:15:14 --> 00:15:16

1 democrat, specifically the Jewish community in a

00:15:16 --> 00:15:17

derogatory way.

00:15:19 --> 00:15:21

You were already getting canceled for that. So

00:15:21 --> 00:15:22

I think he's leading the way towards this

00:15:22 --> 00:15:25

this bill that came, which kinda redefines anti

00:15:25 --> 00:15:26

semitism

00:15:27 --> 00:15:27

completely.

00:15:28 --> 00:15:30

And then the pushback is now, oh, you're

00:15:30 --> 00:15:31

not canceled

00:15:32 --> 00:15:34

for speaking against Israel.

00:15:35 --> 00:15:37

It's just follow the money. Your corporation,

00:15:37 --> 00:15:39

you know, cuts you off. But I think

00:15:39 --> 00:15:40

he's pushing back saying there was already a

00:15:40 --> 00:15:44

standard. We already had a general understanding in

00:15:44 --> 00:15:46

America of, what it meant to be anti

00:15:47 --> 00:15:49

be antisemitic. Right? So,

00:15:50 --> 00:15:52

again, let's keep listening. But I think what

00:15:52 --> 00:15:54

he's pointing out there is there was we

00:15:54 --> 00:15:56

already understood that. But here's the problem. They're

00:15:56 --> 00:15:59

changing. They're moving the goal post. What's happening

00:15:59 --> 00:16:00

now is a redefinition

00:16:01 --> 00:16:02

of anti Semitism

00:16:02 --> 00:16:03

to be synonymous

00:16:04 --> 00:16:04

with the criticism

00:16:05 --> 00:16:07

of the government policies of a country.

00:16:08 --> 00:16:10

That doesn't make sense. Yeah. If a we

00:16:10 --> 00:16:13

should all be able to objectively

00:16:13 --> 00:16:14

criticize

00:16:14 --> 00:16:17

if a country is doing something wrong.

00:16:18 --> 00:16:21

And to just label it as antisemitism,

00:16:21 --> 00:16:22

to

00:16:22 --> 00:16:26

truly criticize into question whether something is ethically

00:16:26 --> 00:16:27

right or wrong.

00:16:28 --> 00:16:30

No one is right just because of who

00:16:30 --> 00:16:30

they are.

00:16:31 --> 00:16:33

It's about the actions. It's about what you're

00:16:33 --> 00:16:35

doing as a country, as a nation,

00:16:35 --> 00:16:39

your policy towards another people that judges whether

00:16:39 --> 00:16:40

you are right or wrong. No one has

00:16:40 --> 00:16:42

a monopoly on truth, and everyone should be

00:16:42 --> 00:16:45

subject to be questioned. Why are you guys,

00:16:46 --> 00:16:48

committing genocide? Why are you wiping out a

00:16:48 --> 00:16:48

population

00:16:49 --> 00:16:51

of defenseless people? What's going on? What's the

00:16:51 --> 00:16:53

reason for that? So now you're gonna end

00:16:53 --> 00:16:55

up getting labeled if you question

00:16:56 --> 00:16:59

now because the slogan was never again. Right?

00:16:59 --> 00:17:02

So now we are seeing something happen here

00:17:02 --> 00:17:04

at the Holocaust, this is happening. Right before

00:17:04 --> 00:17:06

eyes. You know kids pulling out body parts,

00:17:07 --> 00:17:08

right? Where is your

00:17:08 --> 00:17:11

love of Jesus and his way which he's

00:17:11 --> 00:17:13

talking about love your neighbor, love, love, love,

00:17:13 --> 00:17:16

blessed are the peacemakers and people like Candace

00:17:16 --> 00:17:17

Owens, you've heard of her, when she speaks

00:17:17 --> 00:17:20

out she gets canned, now fired. Yep. So

00:17:20 --> 00:17:21

other Christians also

00:17:21 --> 00:17:23

start to, you know, see that this is

00:17:23 --> 00:17:25

not the teachings

00:17:25 --> 00:17:26

of love

00:17:27 --> 00:17:30

and when you have Carl Tuckerson coming on

00:17:30 --> 00:17:32

and he brings on the Palestinian Christian out

00:17:32 --> 00:17:35

there. Yep. Did you see that? Yeah. And

00:17:35 --> 00:17:37

he's call they're calling this out. Like Yep.

00:17:37 --> 00:17:39

See, I I think we're seeing the awakening

00:17:39 --> 00:17:42

though, especially with this new bill. Once you

00:17:42 --> 00:17:44

threaten an American's free speech,

00:17:44 --> 00:17:47

you might as well have attacked baseball. So

00:17:47 --> 00:17:48

this bill is dangerous and unconstitutional

00:17:49 --> 00:17:51

and wrong on every level. Right? Like, you

00:17:51 --> 00:17:54

cannot go after free speech in America.

00:17:54 --> 00:17:56

Right? And people are seeing it for what

00:17:56 --> 00:17:56

it is.

00:17:57 --> 00:17:59

People are now questioning that we're not questioning

00:17:59 --> 00:18:00

before. There were many of us that already

00:18:00 --> 00:18:03

understood this. Right? But people are questioning now

00:18:04 --> 00:18:06

how much the political contributions

00:18:06 --> 00:18:09

are contributing to the these these politicians

00:18:09 --> 00:18:10

formulating their

00:18:11 --> 00:18:13

opinions. They're not principled. They're just following the

00:18:13 --> 00:18:15

money. You have a Matt Walsh from What

00:18:15 --> 00:18:16

is a Woman? You've heard him. He's also

00:18:16 --> 00:18:17

from the Israeli

00:18:17 --> 00:18:18

Wire or.

00:18:19 --> 00:18:22

Declaring aspects of the bible hate speech. Of

00:18:22 --> 00:18:24

course. Yeah. So he was also coming out.

00:18:24 --> 00:18:26

He was on the same network or media

00:18:27 --> 00:18:27

with,

00:18:28 --> 00:18:30

Kenneth Owens Yeah. Part of the Ben Shapiro

00:18:30 --> 00:18:30

squad.

00:18:31 --> 00:18:33

And so he's coming out. He's someone who's

00:18:33 --> 00:18:37

a strong advocate like many conservative Christian Americans.

00:18:37 --> 00:18:39

Americans like you said, this is like baseball,

00:18:39 --> 00:18:40

right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:18:40 --> 00:18:42

Free speech. Yep. But it's eroding now. Yeah.

00:18:42 --> 00:18:45

Because of lobbying Yeah. Because of what, certain

00:18:45 --> 00:18:45

people's,

00:18:46 --> 00:18:48

state interest that you cannot even criticize Mhmm.

00:18:48 --> 00:18:50

A foreign country. Mhmm.

00:18:51 --> 00:18:52

In a in a way that I I

00:18:52 --> 00:18:55

honestly feel like some ways that the bill

00:18:55 --> 00:18:57

does more harm to the people you're try

00:18:57 --> 00:19:00

they're trying to protect than good. Because the

00:19:00 --> 00:19:03

average American, when they look at the threatening

00:19:03 --> 00:19:05

of free speech, is now following that chain

00:19:05 --> 00:19:07

back. Like, woah. What just happened?

00:19:08 --> 00:19:08

How did

00:19:09 --> 00:19:12

did did a foreign country's lobby have so

00:19:12 --> 00:19:15

much power in our congress? Right? And and

00:19:15 --> 00:19:17

and it could have a negative impact for

00:19:17 --> 00:19:19

what they're actually trying to do. Right?

00:19:20 --> 00:19:24

Just just just how the average American, conservative

00:19:24 --> 00:19:27

Americans, and even for across the IOR, like,

00:19:27 --> 00:19:27

wait.

00:19:28 --> 00:19:30

How are they how is another country having

00:19:30 --> 00:19:31

so much impact

00:19:31 --> 00:19:34

on the policies that we're we're we're implementing

00:19:34 --> 00:19:34

here?

00:19:35 --> 00:19:37

And then, to see let's get to the

00:19:37 --> 00:19:39

root of the matter here because now the

00:19:39 --> 00:19:41

narrative is that, okay,

00:19:41 --> 00:19:41

if

00:19:42 --> 00:19:45

certain people, Palestinians or other Muslims had their

00:19:45 --> 00:19:45

way,

00:19:46 --> 00:19:48

we're trying to protect ourselves from them. But

00:19:48 --> 00:19:50

now you in studying, I mean, so you

00:19:50 --> 00:19:52

went from being a Baptist Christian, Catholic,

00:19:52 --> 00:19:54

and obviously you put it on the line.

00:19:54 --> 00:19:56

I mean your family, you gotta go against

00:19:56 --> 00:19:57

the odds, you know, a lot of challenges,

00:19:58 --> 00:20:00

but the truth. I mean, you wanted obviously

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

the truth

00:20:01 --> 00:20:02

and the belief in 1 and only one

00:20:02 --> 00:20:04

God being morally upright, the Quran is a

00:20:04 --> 00:20:06

preserved book. Anyone who comes at it with

00:20:06 --> 00:20:07

a sincere heart will see this is from

00:20:07 --> 00:20:08

the creator that helps us. Yeah. It's a

00:20:08 --> 00:20:11

continuation of the message of Esa, Jesus. The

00:20:11 --> 00:20:13

continuation of the message of Jesus and Moses

00:20:13 --> 00:20:14

and Abraham,

00:20:14 --> 00:20:15

same way of life.

00:20:16 --> 00:20:18

Now you are convinced and now you've been

00:20:18 --> 00:20:21

studying Islam for 20 years, In that studying

00:20:21 --> 00:20:23

of 20 years, is Islam teaching you to

00:20:23 --> 00:20:25

hate Jews? Not at all. Come on. Not

00:20:25 --> 00:20:26

at all. You just say come on. No.

00:20:26 --> 00:20:27

I mean Like, it's a joke, man. It's

00:20:27 --> 00:20:30

that's what people don't realize. Like, it's it's

00:20:31 --> 00:20:32

almost laughable when people

00:20:32 --> 00:20:35

who have actually spent time around Muslims, let

00:20:35 --> 00:20:37

alone someone who's had the privilege and honor

00:20:37 --> 00:20:38

of studying

00:20:38 --> 00:20:39

deeply

00:20:41 --> 00:20:43

Islamic law and Islamic scripture. And for the

00:20:43 --> 00:20:45

last, you know, 15 years of my life,

00:20:45 --> 00:20:47

I've been a teacher of these things. So

00:20:47 --> 00:20:49

for me, as you said, it's almost laughable.

00:20:49 --> 00:20:50

And I I don't I don't mean to

00:20:50 --> 00:20:52

patronize anyone or laugh, but,

00:20:53 --> 00:20:55

this idea that there is any type of

00:20:55 --> 00:20:58

hate for Jews or hate for Christians in

00:20:58 --> 00:20:58

Islam,

00:20:59 --> 00:21:00

is quite interesting because

00:21:01 --> 00:21:03

the the Quran speaks so much about this

00:21:03 --> 00:21:05

term, the people of the book. Right,

00:21:06 --> 00:21:07

in in a in a in in a

00:21:07 --> 00:21:10

way that they're so close to Islam. Right?

00:21:10 --> 00:21:12

Having the tradition of other prophets. Of course,

00:21:12 --> 00:21:15

we believe in the finality of the prophethood

00:21:15 --> 00:21:17

of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.

00:21:17 --> 00:21:21

We believe that his message abrogates the previous

00:21:21 --> 00:21:24

messages but continues in the theme of monotheism

00:21:24 --> 00:21:26

and devotion to God.

00:21:26 --> 00:21:27

But this this kind

00:21:28 --> 00:21:30

of a world dominance view of Islam having

00:21:30 --> 00:21:32

this alter low key agenda,

00:21:33 --> 00:21:36

it's it's it's it's it's funny. It's just

00:21:36 --> 00:21:38

laughable. And and what's not funny about it

00:21:38 --> 00:21:39

low key is the,

00:21:40 --> 00:21:41

number of people that,

00:21:42 --> 00:21:45

are just influenced by such shallow dialogue like

00:21:45 --> 00:21:47

we're we're witnessing here. And so my recommendation

00:21:47 --> 00:21:50

to those people kill all mosquitoes in the

00:21:50 --> 00:21:52

area and just Go ahead. Yeah. My recommendation

00:21:52 --> 00:21:54

to such people is what I said earlier.

00:21:54 --> 00:21:57

I think if they truly had dialogue with

00:21:57 --> 00:21:59

the Muslims around them, and there are Muslims

00:21:59 --> 00:22:02

around them, if they truly had dialogue with

00:22:02 --> 00:22:05

Muslims around them and not been spoonfed from

00:22:05 --> 00:22:05

these,

00:22:06 --> 00:22:06

clickbaity

00:22:07 --> 00:22:09

things, then they'd realize, like, wait.

00:22:10 --> 00:22:12

That guy I know, Ahmed down the street,

00:22:12 --> 00:22:14

my dentist or my doctor or, you know,

00:22:14 --> 00:22:15

the guy in the Uber who's driving me,

00:22:15 --> 00:22:16

like,

00:22:16 --> 00:22:18

that's the true representation

00:22:18 --> 00:22:21

often of what Islam is, not this right

00:22:21 --> 00:22:23

here. It's such a strange relationship because you

00:22:23 --> 00:22:24

have our our friend Patrick.

00:22:25 --> 00:22:28

He's got his, 2 cohosts, 3 actually, 3

00:22:28 --> 00:22:29

I believe are Christian,

00:22:29 --> 00:22:31

so you're sitting next to someone if he's

00:22:31 --> 00:22:34

following his religion also and this is with

00:22:34 --> 00:22:34

no

00:22:35 --> 00:22:35

disrespect,

00:22:36 --> 00:22:37

This is just fact, just look it up.

00:22:37 --> 00:22:38

I mean you have

00:22:39 --> 00:22:41

here us as Muslims we say Jesus, peace

00:22:41 --> 00:22:43

be upon him, we actually love Jesus. This

00:22:43 --> 00:22:44

is the ironic thing. What you're saying is

00:22:44 --> 00:22:46

so deep, go ahead. But then you got

00:22:46 --> 00:22:48

over here this person who's bashing Islam but

00:22:48 --> 00:22:50

he's gotta do Taqiyyah that they accuse Muslims

00:22:50 --> 00:22:52

of, there's no such thing, this is a

00:22:52 --> 00:22:54

Shia concept of a certain branch of Shias,

00:22:55 --> 00:22:56

So we are people who are taught to

00:22:56 --> 00:22:57

be honest, upright,

00:22:58 --> 00:23:00

hold to a strict moral code. So here

00:23:00 --> 00:23:03

if he is going to actually imagine your

00:23:03 --> 00:23:05

co host is someone who if he's following

00:23:05 --> 00:23:07

tenants of, he hates Jesus.

00:23:08 --> 00:23:10

Right? He thinks that But now you can't

00:23:10 --> 00:23:11

say that. You can't say that. But But

00:23:11 --> 00:23:14

that's what it actually says. That's the text.

00:23:14 --> 00:23:15

Right? Listen to this. This is from the

00:23:15 --> 00:23:16

Talmud,

00:23:16 --> 00:23:19

and this is where Jesus Christ, our lord

00:23:19 --> 00:23:19

and savior,

00:23:20 --> 00:23:23

is being boiled in hot excrement. Like, you

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

can't deny what's there. Yeah. But now this

00:23:25 --> 00:23:28

is interesting because they don't want us talking

00:23:28 --> 00:23:29

about that. That's the thing now. That's what's

00:23:29 --> 00:23:31

so interesting. Shut down the conversation. What's crazy

00:23:31 --> 00:23:33

what's crazy about our tradition is,

00:23:34 --> 00:23:36

without going deep into the history, there was

00:23:36 --> 00:23:38

a moment when the early Muslim community,

00:23:38 --> 00:23:39

they migrated to,

00:23:40 --> 00:23:40

Abyssinia,

00:23:41 --> 00:23:43

in order to flee the persecution they were

00:23:43 --> 00:23:46

going through, which was a Christian country,

00:23:46 --> 00:23:49

and they were they were questioned about what

00:23:49 --> 00:23:49

they believe

00:23:50 --> 00:23:51

in Jesus.

00:23:52 --> 00:23:54

And, Jafar, who was the cousin of the

00:23:54 --> 00:23:56

prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, may

00:23:56 --> 00:23:57

Allah be pleased with them, all of the

00:23:57 --> 00:23:59

companions of the prophet.

00:23:59 --> 00:24:02

He gave this beautiful speech about who Jesus

00:24:02 --> 00:24:03

was,

00:24:04 --> 00:24:06

and it left the Christian priest in that

00:24:06 --> 00:24:08

gathering, history tells us, weeping

00:24:08 --> 00:24:10

and and and aweing in the beauty in

00:24:10 --> 00:24:12

which and the reverence with which

00:24:12 --> 00:24:14

Islam speaks about Jesus.

00:24:14 --> 00:24:15

Your Quran,

00:24:16 --> 00:24:17

say of the birth of our dear lord

00:24:17 --> 00:24:18

Jesus Christ.

00:24:19 --> 00:24:21

In the name of god, most gracious,

00:24:21 --> 00:24:22

most merciful,

00:24:23 --> 00:24:25

relate in the book the story of Mary,

00:24:27 --> 00:24:29

how she withdrew from her family to a

00:24:29 --> 00:24:30

place in the east,

00:24:31 --> 00:24:33

how we sent to her our angel, Gabriel,

00:24:33 --> 00:24:34

who said,

00:24:35 --> 00:24:36

I am a messenger from your God,

00:24:37 --> 00:24:39

to announce the birth of a holy son

00:24:39 --> 00:24:40

to you.

00:24:41 --> 00:24:42

She said, how shall I, Mary, have a

00:24:42 --> 00:24:44

son when no man has touched

00:24:46 --> 00:24:47

me? And Gabriel replied,

00:24:49 --> 00:24:50

for your Lord says,

00:24:51 --> 00:24:52

it will happen.

00:24:53 --> 00:24:56

We appoint him as a sign unto man

00:24:57 --> 00:24:58

and a mercy from us.

00:24:59 --> 00:24:59

About

00:25:01 --> 00:25:03

about Jesus. Right? Peace and blessings be upon

00:25:03 --> 00:25:06

him. That is truly what's in our book.

00:25:06 --> 00:25:08

That is what's in our history. We love

00:25:08 --> 00:25:10

Isa, alayhis salaam, Jesus.

00:25:11 --> 00:25:13

But, again, what you're saying is so important,

00:25:13 --> 00:25:16

and people are sleeping on this that,

00:25:17 --> 00:25:20

what does the scriptures of other,

00:25:20 --> 00:25:22

the Talmud and different things, what does it

00:25:22 --> 00:25:23

actually say about

00:25:24 --> 00:25:27

who Jesus was? Listen to this, this is

00:25:27 --> 00:25:27

from the Talmud

00:25:28 --> 00:25:30

and this is where Jesus Christ our lord

00:25:30 --> 00:25:31

and savior

00:25:32 --> 00:25:34

is being boiled in hot excrement

00:25:34 --> 00:25:35

as a punishment

00:25:36 --> 00:25:38

for mocking the words of the of the

00:25:38 --> 00:25:39

rabbis.

00:25:39 --> 00:25:41

It's not really nice. We're actually saying his

00:25:41 --> 00:25:43

name correctly. What do you have? J e

00:25:43 --> 00:25:44

s u s, if you take the j?

00:25:44 --> 00:25:45

Because

00:25:45 --> 00:25:47

in the Semitic languages, you didn't have that

00:25:47 --> 00:25:48

j in from the e. Right?

00:25:49 --> 00:25:50

That wasn't

00:25:50 --> 00:25:52

even his name. Yeah. Issa. Yeah. So you

00:25:52 --> 00:25:54

would have take the j off. You have

00:25:54 --> 00:25:56

Isus. How would you pronounce it without the

00:25:56 --> 00:25:57

j? Esus.

00:25:57 --> 00:25:59

Ah, yes. That's beautiful. What what do you

00:25:59 --> 00:26:01

have here? I've never noticed that. Wow. Esus.

00:26:01 --> 00:26:02

Yeah. Esus.

00:26:02 --> 00:26:04

Yeah. We love Esus. Jesus. Let's go to

00:26:04 --> 00:26:05

this next

00:26:06 --> 00:26:07

clip here. This is the original one that

00:26:07 --> 00:26:09

was sent and then this one came out.

00:26:09 --> 00:26:11

All this stuff is developing. Yeah. And then

00:26:11 --> 00:26:13

this is with the protest that's happening and

00:26:13 --> 00:26:15

free speech being eroded. There was a video

00:26:15 --> 00:26:17

you showed me about, in UCLA. What were

00:26:17 --> 00:26:20

they doing in UCLA? So, yeah. There was

00:26:20 --> 00:26:21

a a a bunch of protesters,

00:26:22 --> 00:26:25

that were 100 of students converting to Islam

00:26:25 --> 00:26:28

and participating in an Islamic call to prayer

00:26:28 --> 00:26:29

as you saw it on the lawn.

00:26:30 --> 00:26:31

I sent it to Rob.

00:26:32 --> 00:26:35

Or Okay. Let's stop for a moment. Okay.

00:26:36 --> 00:26:37

First of all, we could talk about the

00:26:37 --> 00:26:40

aspect of whether it's accurate or not. And

00:26:40 --> 00:26:41

we could talk about that.

00:26:42 --> 00:26:44

But before that, here's the question.

00:26:45 --> 00:26:46

So what?

00:26:46 --> 00:26:47

Religious freedom.

00:26:48 --> 00:26:50

What like, from a American perspective,

00:26:51 --> 00:26:54

the right to to religion, the right to

00:26:54 --> 00:26:55

believe what you wanna believe.

00:26:56 --> 00:26:57

But, again, we're not

00:26:58 --> 00:26:59

it's a double standard.

00:26:59 --> 00:27:01

So what if a lot of people are

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

accepting Islam?

00:27:02 --> 00:27:04

That's part of American what it means to

00:27:04 --> 00:27:07

be American. We were bounded on religious freedom.

00:27:07 --> 00:27:10

Right? But how it's demonized. See that? How

00:27:10 --> 00:27:11

it's demonized.

00:27:11 --> 00:27:13

But here's the other thing.

00:27:13 --> 00:27:15

I assure you that's not probably what happened.

00:27:16 --> 00:27:18

What happened is these a lot of people

00:27:18 --> 00:27:20

interfaith. They see Muslims praying.

00:27:20 --> 00:27:21

People participate.

00:27:22 --> 00:27:24

People participate. Oh, I'll pray with the Muslims.

00:27:24 --> 00:27:25

Right? Did they all convert?

00:27:26 --> 00:27:28

I mean, what's the reality of that?

00:27:29 --> 00:27:32

But, again, just number 1, making it like,

00:27:32 --> 00:27:34

oh, hundreds of people are converting. We're taking

00:27:34 --> 00:27:36

over. Again, what's the narrative? Take over. Take

00:27:36 --> 00:27:38

over. Take over. Put everyone in defense. Fear.

00:27:38 --> 00:27:40

Fear. Fear. That's it. That's it. What does

00:27:40 --> 00:27:42

that lead to? Violence. Violence. Now second of

00:27:42 --> 00:27:45

all so the first thing is, so what?

00:27:45 --> 00:27:46

Second of all, that's probably not even what

00:27:46 --> 00:27:49

happened. They were defending Muslims who were praying.

00:27:50 --> 00:27:52

Right? And and Muslims were praying Jummah, their

00:27:52 --> 00:27:55

Friday prayer, their their we pray 5 times

00:27:55 --> 00:27:56

a day. Of course, we're going to pray.

00:27:56 --> 00:27:57

Like,

00:27:57 --> 00:28:00

that's what a Muslim does. A moderate Muslim

00:28:00 --> 00:28:02

prays. Like, that's what we do. We pray.

00:28:03 --> 00:28:05

And people sometimes join us. What's what's the

00:28:05 --> 00:28:08

big deal? Like Yeah. How come this is

00:28:08 --> 00:28:09

worth noteworthy?

00:28:09 --> 00:28:11

That's what I wanna know. Why is this

00:28:11 --> 00:28:13

noteworthy? Unless you're creating a narrative

00:28:14 --> 00:28:16

that the point of all of this is

00:28:16 --> 00:28:19

to take over America with Islam again. What

00:28:19 --> 00:28:20

is it, bro? Feel like we're back in

00:28:20 --> 00:28:22

the, like, early 2000. I don't know. Like,

00:28:22 --> 00:28:25

what's going on? Yeah. With the shari'ah's coming

00:28:25 --> 00:28:26

to get you, the boogeyman. What what do

00:28:26 --> 00:28:28

we make of? Muslims are, like, 1%. What

00:28:28 --> 00:28:30

is it? Of, America? I don't know the

00:28:30 --> 00:28:33

numbers exactly, but it's absurd. It's absurd. Yeah.

00:28:33 --> 00:28:34

But if you just I like defining words.

00:28:34 --> 00:28:36

So if if if what he said now

00:28:37 --> 00:28:38

and he seemed like a nice guy when

00:28:38 --> 00:28:39

I met him also.

00:28:40 --> 00:28:40

And,

00:28:41 --> 00:28:43

if you define the word Islam,

00:28:43 --> 00:28:44

if you say, okay,

00:28:45 --> 00:28:49

people students are are converting to or converting

00:28:49 --> 00:28:49

to

00:28:50 --> 00:28:52

people are accepting submission to the will of

00:28:52 --> 00:28:53

God because

00:28:53 --> 00:28:56

and having peace because that's what Islam literally

00:28:56 --> 00:28:58

means, doesn't it? Yeah. Peace acquired

00:28:58 --> 00:29:00

by submitting your will to the will of

00:29:00 --> 00:29:02

God. Yeah. What he means is they're changing

00:29:02 --> 00:29:04

their worldview to becoming a Muslim worldview and

00:29:04 --> 00:29:07

that's problematic for the West. Yeah. This is

00:29:07 --> 00:29:10

age old orientalism again. But the same show

00:29:10 --> 00:29:11

was actually aligning.

00:29:12 --> 00:29:15

Right? They were bringing on Andrew Tate, Habib,

00:29:15 --> 00:29:17

and the whole thing with a man could

00:29:17 --> 00:29:18

be a woman, a woman could be a

00:29:18 --> 00:29:20

man, and they were really like they were

00:29:20 --> 00:29:22

liking that Islam was the last stronghold

00:29:23 --> 00:29:25

with all of the sexualization of children, the

00:29:25 --> 00:29:27

moral code of Islam. Now it's kinda You

00:29:27 --> 00:29:30

know why it changed? Right. It's changing because

00:29:31 --> 00:29:32

the world global community

00:29:33 --> 00:29:36

has now woken up, awakened to the realization

00:29:36 --> 00:29:39

that what Israel is doing in Palestine

00:29:39 --> 00:29:40

is genocide.

00:29:41 --> 00:29:42

And so now

00:29:43 --> 00:29:45

we can't at all show any

00:29:45 --> 00:29:47

softness. We have to go to our other

00:29:47 --> 00:29:47

allies.

00:29:48 --> 00:29:49

Right? We have to just defend them tooth

00:29:49 --> 00:29:50

and nail.

00:29:50 --> 00:29:51

And,

00:29:53 --> 00:29:54

we need to the Quran says,

00:29:55 --> 00:29:57

and I'll I'll I'll read the Arabic and

00:29:57 --> 00:29:59

then translate if that's okay. Yeah. Absolutely.

00:30:02 --> 00:30:03

Yeah. Absolutely.

00:30:07 --> 00:30:08

Allah

00:30:08 --> 00:30:10

tells us believers, and this is what we

00:30:10 --> 00:30:11

should

00:30:11 --> 00:30:12

strive to be, that,

00:30:13 --> 00:30:15

be people who stand up to justice,

00:30:15 --> 00:30:17

witnesses for God

00:30:17 --> 00:30:19

even if it be against yourself. And what

00:30:19 --> 00:30:20

that means is

00:30:20 --> 00:30:22

the truth is the truth.

00:30:23 --> 00:30:24

Regardless of who does it,

00:30:25 --> 00:30:26

they need to be called out for it.

00:30:26 --> 00:30:30

What is happening on in Palestine right now,

00:30:30 --> 00:30:30

rafaa Gaza,

00:30:31 --> 00:30:34

what's happening there is a genocide. These are

00:30:34 --> 00:30:34

defenseless

00:30:35 --> 00:30:37

people. The strong one of the strongest world's

00:30:37 --> 00:30:38

militaries

00:30:38 --> 00:30:40

is wiping out a population.

00:30:40 --> 00:30:43

Just call it what it is. Sleep good

00:30:43 --> 00:30:43

at night.

00:30:44 --> 00:30:47

Realize that you spoke truth in a tough

00:30:47 --> 00:30:47

moment.

00:30:48 --> 00:30:50

Right? It doesn't matter who does it. Here's

00:30:50 --> 00:30:51

the crazy part.

00:30:52 --> 00:30:54

The thing people are having trouble with is

00:30:54 --> 00:30:55

that the

00:30:56 --> 00:30:59

victims in World War 2 are now the

00:30:59 --> 00:31:01

oppressive nation. Not all. I am by no

00:31:01 --> 00:31:02

means saying all.

00:31:03 --> 00:31:05

What I'm saying is that this state that

00:31:05 --> 00:31:07

was created as a result of

00:31:07 --> 00:31:10

World War 2 are now the perpetrators of

00:31:10 --> 00:31:11

injustice.

00:31:11 --> 00:31:13

And people have to be strong enough to

00:31:13 --> 00:31:14

go,

00:31:14 --> 00:31:15

you were oppressed,

00:31:16 --> 00:31:18

but now what you're doing is wrong.

00:31:19 --> 00:31:20

You don't have

00:31:21 --> 00:31:22

the standard of truth just to be with

00:31:22 --> 00:31:25

you because of who you were. Mhmm. By

00:31:25 --> 00:31:26

no means and I don't wanna be misquoted.

00:31:26 --> 00:31:27

So I'm saying again, by no means am

00:31:27 --> 00:31:30

I saying those people who were who were

00:31:30 --> 00:31:32

massacred in World War 2. This is an

00:31:32 --> 00:31:33

evil evil that happened?

00:31:34 --> 00:31:34

Sure.

00:31:34 --> 00:31:37

Undoubted evil that happened. By no means am

00:31:37 --> 00:31:39

I saying those exact people. Yeah. Of course.

00:31:39 --> 00:31:40

Right? This is generations later.

00:31:41 --> 00:31:41

But,

00:31:42 --> 00:31:45

wherever oppression happens, whoever is the one doing

00:31:45 --> 00:31:46

wrong,

00:31:46 --> 00:31:48

the Quran is teaching us even if you're

00:31:48 --> 00:31:49

doing wrong,

00:31:50 --> 00:31:50

you're wrong.

00:31:51 --> 00:31:52

So even if our friends,

00:31:55 --> 00:31:56

the Quran and that same verse says, if

00:31:56 --> 00:31:58

it be your close brother, if it be

00:31:58 --> 00:31:59

your own parents,

00:32:00 --> 00:32:02

what we want is to stand next to

00:32:02 --> 00:32:03

truth.

00:32:03 --> 00:32:04

And right now,

00:32:04 --> 00:32:07

the objective eye, if they truly look look.

00:32:07 --> 00:32:08

Let me give an example.

00:32:10 --> 00:32:11

They were looking into,

00:32:13 --> 00:32:13

different

00:32:14 --> 00:32:17

potential war crimes that are happening in Philistine,

00:32:17 --> 00:32:20

and White House representatives were being asked by

00:32:20 --> 00:32:20

reporters,

00:32:21 --> 00:32:24

you know, hey. We need someone to look

00:32:24 --> 00:32:26

into this. Who's looking into it? And the

00:32:26 --> 00:32:28

White House, you know, press,

00:32:29 --> 00:32:31

reporter was saying, yeah. We're asking Israel to

00:32:31 --> 00:32:33

give us more details. And the reporters are

00:32:33 --> 00:32:36

dumbstruck. They're saying, you're asking the accused

00:32:37 --> 00:32:38

to investigate

00:32:38 --> 00:32:39

themselves?

00:32:40 --> 00:32:42

And they just kept repeating the same thing.

00:32:43 --> 00:32:43

And

00:32:44 --> 00:32:46

it there's just the double speak is so

00:32:46 --> 00:32:48

clear now. So for the people that have

00:32:48 --> 00:32:49

missed this, this is just like the person

00:32:49 --> 00:32:52

who's accused of murder, of *, or whatnot,

00:32:52 --> 00:32:53

and then the prosecutor says,

00:32:54 --> 00:32:56

let let him investigate himself and bring us

00:32:56 --> 00:32:58

his findings if he's guilty or not. It's

00:32:58 --> 00:33:00

absurd. And what I think people are doing,

00:33:00 --> 00:33:03

they realize it, but the average American realize

00:33:03 --> 00:33:04

it, and then they're just kinda getting on

00:33:04 --> 00:33:06

with life. Yeah. Like, oh, okay. Yeah. There's

00:33:06 --> 00:33:07

this cognizant

00:33:08 --> 00:33:09

cognitive dissonance that's happening.

00:33:10 --> 00:33:12

Right? And what these protests are trying to

00:33:12 --> 00:33:12

force

00:33:13 --> 00:33:15

is that there is no cognitive dissonance.

00:33:15 --> 00:33:16

Realize what's happening.

00:33:17 --> 00:33:18

Answer the question.

00:33:18 --> 00:33:21

Like, what is is what this nation is

00:33:21 --> 00:33:24

doing to this population of defenseless people? Is

00:33:24 --> 00:33:26

this is this right? You know? Do are

00:33:26 --> 00:33:28

you okay with this? Are you okay with

00:33:28 --> 00:33:29

your tax dollars

00:33:30 --> 00:33:31

funding this

00:33:32 --> 00:33:34

when we have so many domestic problems?

00:33:34 --> 00:33:35

Yes.

00:33:35 --> 00:33:37

So many domestic problems

00:33:37 --> 00:33:39

but 1,000,000,000 of dollars

00:33:40 --> 00:33:41

due to a loyalty,

00:33:42 --> 00:33:44

but our loyalty should be to truth and

00:33:44 --> 00:33:45

justice and what's right

00:33:46 --> 00:33:46

and wrong.

00:33:47 --> 00:33:49

And and every pundit

00:33:49 --> 00:33:50

is getting caught in doublespeak.

00:33:51 --> 00:33:52

They know it. I don't understand how they

00:33:52 --> 00:33:54

look in the mirror when they Yeah. It's

00:33:54 --> 00:33:55

it's clearly hypocrisy.

00:33:56 --> 00:33:57

Then you have Palestinians who are saying, we

00:33:57 --> 00:33:59

got nothing against Jews.

00:33:59 --> 00:34:01

If it was my own brother stealing my

00:34:01 --> 00:34:03

home, if it was a Muslim stealing my

00:34:03 --> 00:34:05

land, I would be against him also. Yep.

00:34:05 --> 00:34:07

Just like any American Yep.

00:34:07 --> 00:34:10

Who came over or, you know, stealing,

00:34:10 --> 00:34:13

someone came, the migrants or whoever coming from

00:34:13 --> 00:34:14

a plane,

00:34:15 --> 00:34:16

boat, whatever from

00:34:16 --> 00:34:19

Mexico, this place, that place started, you know,

00:34:19 --> 00:34:21

taking over your house. Yeah. You know what

00:34:21 --> 00:34:22

I think is happening, though, on a deeper

00:34:22 --> 00:34:25

level? I think, like, the evangelicals

00:34:25 --> 00:34:27

have for a long time, long time, well

00:34:27 --> 00:34:30

before October 7th, have been pushing a narrative

00:34:30 --> 00:34:32

that we that the evangelical

00:34:33 --> 00:34:35

sector should love the cause of Israel,

00:34:36 --> 00:34:37

because

00:34:37 --> 00:34:39

if they get their job done, Jesus comes

00:34:39 --> 00:34:42

back. Right? There's a there's a conflict. Yeah.

00:34:42 --> 00:34:44

That's the engineering of prophecy psychology. Yeah. Like,

00:34:44 --> 00:34:46

this whole it's a so it's really interesting

00:34:46 --> 00:34:47

when you talk to but I wanna speak

00:34:47 --> 00:34:49

on a positive note for a moment. Yeah.

00:34:49 --> 00:34:51

I was, you know, we had a group

00:34:51 --> 00:34:52

chat,

00:34:52 --> 00:34:54

a a a Zoom call last week, and

00:34:54 --> 00:34:56

there were a number of prominent,

00:34:57 --> 00:34:57

Christian,

00:34:58 --> 00:34:59

African American

00:34:59 --> 00:35:00

Christian priests,

00:35:01 --> 00:35:04

pastors, deacons, you know, religious leaders

00:35:05 --> 00:35:07

who are all in all of their churches,

00:35:09 --> 00:35:11

preaching and talking about the plight of Philistine

00:35:12 --> 00:35:15

openly. Yes. Openly. So we're seeing a shift.

00:35:15 --> 00:35:17

People are realizing, like, people with eyes see.

00:35:17 --> 00:35:19

They're seeing what's going on.

00:35:19 --> 00:35:21

Yeah. This is that, when I had a

00:35:21 --> 00:35:24

Christian senior pastor, he broke down this dispensationalism,

00:35:25 --> 00:35:26

the rapture,

00:35:27 --> 00:35:29

and Scofield Bible. I want people to look

00:35:29 --> 00:35:30

into this. So you had

00:35:32 --> 00:35:33

the Cyrus Scofield,

00:35:33 --> 00:35:34

he was a con man and he got

00:35:34 --> 00:35:36

these teachings from, John Nelson,

00:35:37 --> 00:35:37

Darby,

00:35:38 --> 00:35:41

these outside really far extreme teachings from Christianity.

00:35:41 --> 00:35:43

Okay. And then he took these and he

00:35:43 --> 00:35:46

started preaching them, people like untime prophecies and

00:35:46 --> 00:35:48

whatnot. Then he got funded by the Zionist

00:35:48 --> 00:35:50

American Organization. They took him to the UK,

00:35:51 --> 00:35:54

Oxford printing press printed the Scofield Bible

00:35:54 --> 00:35:56

and now you have the exegesis

00:35:56 --> 00:35:59

of certain verses that are either connecting them

00:35:59 --> 00:36:01

to this monastery that is you heard about

00:36:01 --> 00:36:02

that? A little bit. A million copies for

00:36:02 --> 00:36:05

free, then you had the Late Great Planet

00:36:05 --> 00:36:08

Earth, another series, 40,000,000 copies, so the passage

00:36:08 --> 00:36:10

is telling us that this was a well

00:36:10 --> 00:36:11

funded effort

00:36:11 --> 00:36:14

to go ahead and push this propaganda

00:36:14 --> 00:36:15

through the

00:36:15 --> 00:36:17

Scofield Bible. Now the Christian

00:36:18 --> 00:36:19

who is all about love love love and

00:36:19 --> 00:36:21

love your neighbor and love for humanity, Jesus,

00:36:21 --> 00:36:23

Prince of Peace and all this stuff,

00:36:23 --> 00:36:25

now he's led to believe, programmed to believe

00:36:25 --> 00:36:27

that this is part of their akida, this

00:36:27 --> 00:36:27

is part of their belief to support this

00:36:27 --> 00:36:28

when

00:36:30 --> 00:36:32

1st 1800 years of Christianity Didn't exist. It

00:36:32 --> 00:36:34

didn't exist. So this is a new phenomenon

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

that's happening so hopefully our Christian friends and

00:36:36 --> 00:36:38

neighbors can go investigate this and they can

00:36:38 --> 00:36:40

start speaking out also because you actually have

00:36:40 --> 00:36:43

more Zionists than you have Christian Zionists, and

00:36:43 --> 00:36:45

now they're trying to engineer this whole

00:36:45 --> 00:36:47

virgin cow,

00:36:47 --> 00:36:48

the heifer,

00:36:48 --> 00:36:51

the red cow to take over Moshedu Aksar,

00:36:51 --> 00:36:52

and you know about this. Yeah, I know,

00:36:52 --> 00:36:53

I'm familiar with it. It gets deep.

00:36:54 --> 00:36:56

Let's go ahead and, let it play and

00:36:56 --> 00:36:56

then,

00:36:58 --> 00:37:00

Oil London's a big oil gift. He loves

00:37:00 --> 00:37:03

oils. It's like Oh, there's white people in

00:37:03 --> 00:37:04

there. There's people at ballet. Don't even know

00:37:04 --> 00:37:06

how to wear the freaking hijab. Don't You

00:37:06 --> 00:37:08

guys not No. No. Stop here. Yes. It's

00:37:08 --> 00:37:12

even painful. You're getting frustrated. Yeah. There's white

00:37:12 --> 00:37:14

people. What does that mean? Yeah.

00:37:14 --> 00:37:17

So they're they're very shallow. It's almost That

00:37:17 --> 00:37:19

is because that insinuates that this is an

00:37:19 --> 00:37:21

Arab. This is for brown black people. What

00:37:21 --> 00:37:23

do white people do? I'm actually, like, anyone

00:37:23 --> 00:37:25

with a slight level of intelligence

00:37:26 --> 00:37:26

is, like,

00:37:27 --> 00:37:29

what is what is white? What is black

00:37:29 --> 00:37:30

in Islam? Like,

00:37:31 --> 00:37:31

are there

00:37:32 --> 00:37:33

I don't even know where to start. I'm

00:37:33 --> 00:37:34

so sorry. It's just because

00:37:35 --> 00:37:38

there's white people there? Do you know what

00:37:38 --> 00:37:38

Palestinians

00:37:38 --> 00:37:40

look like? Do you know what,

00:37:41 --> 00:37:42

people from Lebanon,

00:37:43 --> 00:37:45

Syria look like? Have you seen this is,

00:37:45 --> 00:37:48

again, the I'm telling people to meet people.

00:37:48 --> 00:37:51

Because when you see a red haired Palestinian

00:37:52 --> 00:37:55

kid, you're gonna be like, oh, wow. Right?

00:37:55 --> 00:37:55

When you see

00:37:56 --> 00:37:58

this that there's white people there. That's such

00:37:58 --> 00:37:58

an

00:37:59 --> 00:37:59

Bosnia,

00:38:00 --> 00:38:03

the countries that are Eastern European. The brother

00:38:03 --> 00:38:04

who sent me the this video,

00:38:05 --> 00:38:08

he's from, he's a he's, from Syria. He

00:38:08 --> 00:38:11

looks white. That's like that this is so

00:38:11 --> 00:38:13

shallow. This is so, like,

00:38:13 --> 00:38:15

bottom feeder. Like like

00:38:16 --> 00:38:17

people Bottom feeder.

00:38:17 --> 00:38:19

Like, there's white people there. Like Yeah. Come

00:38:19 --> 00:38:21

on. Come on, guys. Come on. Do better

00:38:21 --> 00:38:23

than that. Yeah. These are Muslims praying.

00:38:24 --> 00:38:25

Look.

00:38:26 --> 00:38:28

They're telling them not to record. Now what?

00:38:28 --> 00:38:29

These are Muslims praying. What's the deal?

00:38:30 --> 00:38:32

And it's funny. I'm tired of Look. The

00:38:32 --> 00:38:33

white people white people just sitting there. They

00:38:33 --> 00:38:35

have no idea what's going on. What is

00:38:35 --> 00:38:37

this? Like, they're praying? They're praying. I don't

00:38:37 --> 00:38:38

have a problem with that. No. No. But

00:38:38 --> 00:38:40

some people Look. You notice he has to

00:38:40 --> 00:38:42

balance the way he's like that that just

00:38:42 --> 00:38:43

there that by the way, you know what

00:38:43 --> 00:38:45

I would say? You know what I would

00:38:45 --> 00:38:47

say? Here's what I would say. Christians, why

00:38:47 --> 00:38:48

don't you go pray as well? Oh, yeah.

00:38:48 --> 00:38:50

They'll not you'll never see a Christian watch.

00:38:50 --> 00:38:51

Woah. Woah. Hold on. What does he mean

00:38:51 --> 00:38:54

by that? He so here you see the

00:38:54 --> 00:38:56

main host kind of in a tough place

00:38:56 --> 00:38:58

because he realized how shallow what the guy

00:38:58 --> 00:39:00

is saying. Like, the footage they're showing shows

00:39:00 --> 00:39:03

nothing. It shows people sitting down watching Muslims

00:39:04 --> 00:39:04

pray.

00:39:04 --> 00:39:06

So it actually like Jesus, actually. Yeah. So

00:39:06 --> 00:39:08

that's a whole another song. That's a whole

00:39:08 --> 00:39:09

another thing. Told you. Matthew 2639,

00:39:10 --> 00:39:11

and he went a little further, fell on

00:39:11 --> 00:39:13

his face, and prayed to God. Jesus prayed

00:39:13 --> 00:39:14

like this. You should be praying like we're

00:39:14 --> 00:39:16

praying. When I told you, like, when I

00:39:16 --> 00:39:19

converted, I felt closer to Jesus than before.

00:39:19 --> 00:39:21

That's what I was talking about. These verse

00:39:21 --> 00:39:23

about how we worship. How he washed before

00:39:23 --> 00:39:25

he prays. Abolition. Anyway, so it's that's a

00:39:25 --> 00:39:27

whole another discussion.

00:39:27 --> 00:39:27

But,

00:39:28 --> 00:39:28

again,

00:39:29 --> 00:39:31

the one host is trying to make this

00:39:31 --> 00:39:32

look so scandalous.

00:39:33 --> 00:39:35

And the main host actually realizes, like, what

00:39:35 --> 00:39:37

are we we're not seeing anything. We're seeing

00:39:38 --> 00:39:41

other non Muslims sitting watching Muslims pray.

00:39:41 --> 00:39:43

How can we make this a big deal?

00:39:43 --> 00:39:45

And then now he switches it to, why

00:39:45 --> 00:39:48

don't you Christians go pray? Let's finish listening

00:39:48 --> 00:39:49

to that because I wanna see what he

00:39:49 --> 00:39:51

means by go go pray. No. Why why

00:39:51 --> 00:39:53

don't you go on campus? Good. No. Why

00:39:53 --> 00:39:55

why don't you go on campus and pray?

00:39:55 --> 00:39:57

So what? This to me is an element

00:39:57 --> 00:39:58

of competition.

00:39:58 --> 00:40:00

Switched the switched the he switched the goalposts.

00:40:00 --> 00:40:03

He switched what do you mean? Meaning, like,

00:40:03 --> 00:40:05

the one guy wasn't talking about that. He

00:40:05 --> 00:40:07

was talking about Islam taking over. Yeah. And

00:40:07 --> 00:40:09

now the other host, he sees that's a

00:40:09 --> 00:40:11

dead end because it's like

00:40:11 --> 00:40:13

there's nothing there. So now he's switching the

00:40:13 --> 00:40:14

direction.

00:40:14 --> 00:40:17

He goes, well, they're better than you now.

00:40:17 --> 00:40:19

Look how they're praying more than you. You

00:40:19 --> 00:40:21

should be praying too. Uh-huh. Wait. I I

00:40:21 --> 00:40:22

thought you guys brought the video up to

00:40:22 --> 00:40:25

show Islam taking over. Yeah. And now that

00:40:25 --> 00:40:27

it's switching a direction

00:40:27 --> 00:40:29

to what? Started with the boogeyman coming to

00:40:29 --> 00:40:30

get you. Yeah. Now it's like, oh, they're

00:40:30 --> 00:40:32

better than you. You need to pray too.

00:40:32 --> 00:40:33

Why are you just sitting

00:40:34 --> 00:40:35

there? Okay. I is that what we're talking

00:40:35 --> 00:40:36

about now? Okay.

00:40:37 --> 00:40:38

You're catching those snakes.

00:40:39 --> 00:40:41

They're simply out praying you

00:40:41 --> 00:40:44

5 times to 1. They're out praying you

00:40:44 --> 00:40:45

like you wouldn't believe. I don't have a

00:40:45 --> 00:40:47

problem with this. Yeah. I've Everything that ever

00:40:47 --> 00:40:48

becomes big

00:40:49 --> 00:40:51

that does well, they had they are better

00:40:51 --> 00:40:52

at rituals.

00:40:52 --> 00:40:53

They're better at traditions.

00:40:54 --> 00:40:56

They're better at those things. Whether it's last

00:40:56 --> 00:40:59

names, companies, religions, cultures, all of that. When

00:40:59 --> 00:41:01

I see something like this and I say,

00:41:01 --> 00:41:03

okay. Guess what? Yeah. I don't know where

00:41:03 --> 00:41:05

he's going right now. He's Okay. He's just

00:41:05 --> 00:41:07

talking. Yeah. Okay. So,

00:41:08 --> 00:41:11

let's, we're almost out of time. So what

00:41:11 --> 00:41:14

are we, what's the summary? What what The

00:41:14 --> 00:41:17

summary here's here's what what what I'm gonna

00:41:17 --> 00:41:21

say to my, my fellow countrymen. My message

00:41:21 --> 00:41:21

is

00:41:22 --> 00:41:24

go across go out of your comfort zone

00:41:24 --> 00:41:25

and and meet other people.

00:41:26 --> 00:41:28

Have dialogue with people. Talk to other Muslims.

00:41:29 --> 00:41:30

Don't take

00:41:30 --> 00:41:32

your understanding of other people

00:41:33 --> 00:41:35

through these sources. That's not that's not how

00:41:35 --> 00:41:37

you learn who who humanity is, who who

00:41:37 --> 00:41:38

people are.

00:41:39 --> 00:41:41

In every city across the country, there are

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

Muslims who,

00:41:42 --> 00:41:45

can talk to you and explain explain where

00:41:45 --> 00:41:47

these encampments are. There are people there who

00:41:47 --> 00:41:48

are giving

00:41:48 --> 00:41:49

time

00:41:49 --> 00:41:51

of their week sitting in these places because

00:41:51 --> 00:41:53

they believe so passionately.

00:41:53 --> 00:41:55

Go sit there. Talk to them. Just understand.

00:41:57 --> 00:41:58

So,

00:42:01 --> 00:42:04

the Quran speaks about coming together and and

00:42:04 --> 00:42:06

talking to one another. And I truly believe

00:42:07 --> 00:42:09

that if we put our biases aside

00:42:09 --> 00:42:10

and we objectively

00:42:11 --> 00:42:14

look at the loss of 35 to 40000

00:42:15 --> 00:42:17

lives, majority of which are women and children

00:42:17 --> 00:42:19

in the ongoing onslaught,

00:42:19 --> 00:42:22

I think we can come to a conclusion

00:42:23 --> 00:42:25

that these people who are already under

00:42:26 --> 00:42:26

decades

00:42:26 --> 00:42:27

of oppression

00:42:28 --> 00:42:29

and colonialization

00:42:30 --> 00:42:30

and apartheid.

00:42:31 --> 00:42:33

This is what the reality was

00:42:33 --> 00:42:35

that now it's gone up to a level

00:42:35 --> 00:42:36

of genocide.

00:42:38 --> 00:42:40

Talk to other people that understand these things,

00:42:40 --> 00:42:42

and you'll don't listen to these things because

00:42:42 --> 00:42:44

they don't really give you a fair representation

00:42:45 --> 00:42:46

of what the other side is saying. And

00:42:46 --> 00:42:48

so my message to people is

00:42:49 --> 00:42:50

open your eyes. Look at,

00:42:51 --> 00:42:53

these these bills that are being formulated

00:42:53 --> 00:42:55

and trying to be passed. It's only been

00:42:55 --> 00:42:56

through the house. I don't think it's gone

00:42:56 --> 00:42:58

through the senate yet, so it still has

00:42:58 --> 00:42:59

to be pushed through the senate and stuff.

00:42:59 --> 00:43:00

But,

00:43:01 --> 00:43:03

realize how much lobbying and money is playing

00:43:03 --> 00:43:04

into

00:43:04 --> 00:43:06

our our our our country's

00:43:07 --> 00:43:07

trajectory,

00:43:08 --> 00:43:10

and just wake up wake up. They're fooling

00:43:10 --> 00:43:13

you. You've been duped and you are we're

00:43:13 --> 00:43:15

we're getting to see this live now. You're

00:43:15 --> 00:43:16

gonna give up all of your most of

00:43:16 --> 00:43:19

your constitutional rights now because of the fear

00:43:19 --> 00:43:19

of,

00:43:20 --> 00:43:22

a boogeyman, Islam coming to get you. Yes.

00:43:22 --> 00:43:23

So now

00:43:23 --> 00:43:25

they're pushing this and

00:43:25 --> 00:43:27

you need and and the show is based

00:43:27 --> 00:43:30

on a lot of the principles of the

00:43:30 --> 00:43:32

constitution that they talk about, you know, when

00:43:32 --> 00:43:34

they were talking about their they were criticizing

00:43:35 --> 00:43:36

when people were going out there

00:43:37 --> 00:43:39

shutting down the speech of one who's advocating

00:43:39 --> 00:43:40

for

00:43:40 --> 00:43:41

there to be

00:43:42 --> 00:43:43

a washrooms

00:43:43 --> 00:43:46

that a man can't go into a woman's

00:43:46 --> 00:43:48

washroom and people are speaking out, they're shutting

00:43:48 --> 00:43:49

it down, the

00:43:50 --> 00:43:53

the the, the democrats and whatnot, but now

00:43:53 --> 00:43:56

you're shutting down free speech when people are

00:43:56 --> 00:43:58

just putting putting their humanity on. These are

00:43:58 --> 00:44:01

Jews also who are speaking out. Yeah.

00:44:01 --> 00:44:02

You also have Christians Yeah, that's important to

00:44:02 --> 00:44:05

talk about. Yeah, Christians are certain Christians who

00:44:05 --> 00:44:08

are not brainwashed with this whole Cyrus Scofield

00:44:09 --> 00:44:10

Yeah. Theology and whatnot,

00:44:11 --> 00:44:13

they're speaking out and they're saying this is

00:44:13 --> 00:44:16

wrong, you know? This is we also, if

00:44:16 --> 00:44:16

it was

00:44:16 --> 00:44:17

innocent

00:44:18 --> 00:44:21

Jewish children or Christian children, Islam calls us

00:44:21 --> 00:44:23

to stand up against us. We we don't

00:44:23 --> 00:44:24

have a problem condemning it. Why do you

00:44:24 --> 00:44:26

have a problem condemning it? Meaning, why? Why

00:44:27 --> 00:44:29

Yep. I I I I'm a 100%. Everything

00:44:29 --> 00:44:31

you're saying is exactly spot on. We will

00:44:31 --> 00:44:34

condemn this. You know, it one thing I

00:44:34 --> 00:44:35

know we're gonna wrap it up, but one

00:44:35 --> 00:44:37

thing I find interesting is one of the

00:44:37 --> 00:44:39

things that I read was in that bill

00:44:40 --> 00:44:43

was this saying that the Jews killed Jesus,

00:44:43 --> 00:44:45

right? That is another example on the list

00:44:45 --> 00:44:47

that's gotten some attention. It's the it is

00:44:47 --> 00:44:50

that it's anti Semitic to claim that Jews

00:44:50 --> 00:44:53

killed Jesus. That's what the IHRA says, but

00:44:53 --> 00:44:55

that is not a claim invented by antisemites

00:44:56 --> 00:44:57

that's in the gospel.

00:44:57 --> 00:45:00

And and and I saw a congressman try

00:45:00 --> 00:45:01

to, you know,

00:45:02 --> 00:45:04

walk it back that, oh, to say all

00:45:04 --> 00:45:06

Jews and stuff like that.

00:45:07 --> 00:45:10

And and what's interesting here, what's interesting in

00:45:10 --> 00:45:11

this moment

00:45:11 --> 00:45:14

is when it comes to Jesus,

00:45:15 --> 00:45:16

may the peace and blessings of God be

00:45:16 --> 00:45:17

upon him.

00:45:17 --> 00:45:18

Muslims

00:45:18 --> 00:45:19

deeply

00:45:19 --> 00:45:20

love,

00:45:20 --> 00:45:21

venerate,

00:45:21 --> 00:45:23

respect. I don't know what else to say.

00:45:23 --> 00:45:24

We love Jesus.

00:45:25 --> 00:45:27

He's in our book. There's so much positive.

00:45:28 --> 00:45:30

Of course, we don't believe he's the son

00:45:30 --> 00:45:32

of God, but he's a prophet of God.

00:45:33 --> 00:45:36

And now the Jewish we're talking text now.

00:45:36 --> 00:45:36

Text.

00:45:36 --> 00:45:39

The Jewish Talmud says very clearly, like, this

00:45:39 --> 00:45:42

is not this is factual data, but now

00:45:42 --> 00:45:43

we can't say that anymore if this bill

00:45:43 --> 00:45:45

is passed. We can't say that. It's like

00:45:45 --> 00:45:48

opening the Quran and and saying here that,

00:45:49 --> 00:45:51

that there's a chapter named after,

00:45:52 --> 00:45:54

meet Jesus' mother. It's factual, it's there. It's

00:45:54 --> 00:45:56

there. It's chapter 19 of the Quran, right?

00:45:56 --> 00:45:59

It's there. The chapter of Mary. Of Mary.

00:45:59 --> 00:46:00

The mother of Jesus. We're not hiding it.

00:46:00 --> 00:46:01

It's there. Go look what it says. So

00:46:01 --> 00:46:03

so what's happening now

00:46:03 --> 00:46:03

is

00:46:04 --> 00:46:06

the part of their their their

00:46:06 --> 00:46:07

belief system,

00:46:08 --> 00:46:09

which would make a

00:46:10 --> 00:46:11

should make a Christian unsettled

00:46:12 --> 00:46:14

is being forbidden to be said anymore.

00:46:15 --> 00:46:17

Do you understand where I'm going with this?

00:46:17 --> 00:46:17

Whereas

00:46:18 --> 00:46:21

whereas that is actually what they believe. They

00:46:21 --> 00:46:24

don't like Jesus, quite frankly. Right? Like,

00:46:24 --> 00:46:26

they they did not. Right? And that's where

00:46:26 --> 00:46:28

they're gonna say, well, you can't say that

00:46:28 --> 00:46:30

now because you're you're painting a wide brush

00:46:30 --> 00:46:32

on everyone. Okay.

00:46:32 --> 00:46:33

Historically,

00:46:33 --> 00:46:34

a group

00:46:34 --> 00:46:35

of Jews

00:46:35 --> 00:46:38

were the ones who killed or attempted to

00:46:38 --> 00:46:41

kill Jesus. Right? And their Talmud speaks in

00:46:41 --> 00:46:44

a negative light of him. That is factual

00:46:45 --> 00:46:45

data.

00:46:46 --> 00:46:48

And the Muslims just factual data. No spin

00:46:48 --> 00:46:49

here, guys.

00:46:50 --> 00:46:53

The Muslims love Jesus and the Virgin Mary,

00:46:53 --> 00:46:54

mother of Jesus.

00:46:55 --> 00:46:57

That's just factual data. Can you say without

00:46:57 --> 00:46:59

a doubt that it is anti Islam

00:47:00 --> 00:47:01

to be anti Jewish?

00:47:03 --> 00:47:05

Of of course. Of course. Because g Yes.

00:47:05 --> 00:47:06

Yes. And I'll and I'll give evidence. Like,

00:47:06 --> 00:47:08

you correct me if I'm wrong. Right? You've

00:47:08 --> 00:47:10

You've been teaching for 20 years because

00:47:10 --> 00:47:11

Jesus, Moses,

00:47:12 --> 00:47:13

by ethnicity

00:47:14 --> 00:47:16

they were Jews. Right? Yeah. But by faith

00:47:16 --> 00:47:18

they were ones who submitted their will to

00:47:18 --> 00:47:20

God, so they were Muslim. Mhmm. So to

00:47:20 --> 00:47:22

be anti Jewish is to be, what, anti

00:47:22 --> 00:47:24

Mary, anti

00:47:24 --> 00:47:25

Jesus,

00:47:25 --> 00:47:28

to be anti Semitic is anti Palestinian. Arabs

00:47:28 --> 00:47:30

and Palestinians are Semitic peoples. Let me let

00:47:30 --> 00:47:32

me answer your question more direct on. You

00:47:32 --> 00:47:34

asked me, is it anti Islam to be

00:47:34 --> 00:47:36

anti Jew? And I'll say this straightforward,

00:47:36 --> 00:47:37

unequivocally,

00:47:37 --> 00:47:38

very clearly.

00:47:39 --> 00:47:41

When prophet Mohammed arrived in Medina, there was

00:47:41 --> 00:47:42

a community

00:47:42 --> 00:47:43

of Jews already

00:47:44 --> 00:47:46

living there. Yes. He formed a treaty with

00:47:46 --> 00:47:48

them, and he called The Medina Charter. Yes.

00:47:48 --> 00:47:49

That he called us all.

00:47:51 --> 00:47:53

Now in English, that means we are one

00:47:53 --> 00:47:54

nation. One nation.

00:47:55 --> 00:47:57

That's our prophet doing that. Goes one nation

00:47:57 --> 00:47:58

under God.

00:47:59 --> 00:48:01

It's in our books. Before the constitution.

00:48:02 --> 00:48:03

That is really profound.

00:48:04 --> 00:48:04

The

00:48:05 --> 00:48:07

He's in it says it clear. We are

00:48:08 --> 00:48:10

so long that we uphold justice and we

00:48:10 --> 00:48:11

are not treacherous

00:48:12 --> 00:48:14

and we do not break the covenant. We

00:48:14 --> 00:48:15

are all one nation.

00:48:16 --> 00:48:18

Mhmm. The problem is not Judaism.

00:48:18 --> 00:48:21

Come on. The problem is colonialism

00:48:21 --> 00:48:22

and Zionism.

00:48:22 --> 00:48:24

This is my right to take this land

00:48:24 --> 00:48:25

from you.

00:48:26 --> 00:48:27

That's the issue.

00:48:27 --> 00:48:28

That's the problem.

00:48:29 --> 00:48:31

The god given right that this is mine

00:48:31 --> 00:48:34

that feeds into that white supremacy stuff too.

00:48:35 --> 00:48:36

Right? So, again,

00:48:37 --> 00:48:39

I hope that our listeners I hope I'm

00:48:39 --> 00:48:41

not preaching to the choir. You know? I

00:48:41 --> 00:48:43

hope that there are people from different dom

00:48:43 --> 00:48:44

denominations

00:48:44 --> 00:48:46

that listen to this and and find it

00:48:46 --> 00:48:48

within themselves to, you know, dialogue

00:48:49 --> 00:48:51

with other Muslims and get a fair view

00:48:51 --> 00:48:53

and perspective and to not be spoon fed

00:48:53 --> 00:48:54

by this,

00:48:55 --> 00:48:57

bottom feeder content. This is not Bottom feeder.

00:48:57 --> 00:48:59

I like the top up. Deep stuff. This

00:48:59 --> 00:49:02

is not academically sound. It's not deep. They're

00:49:02 --> 00:49:03

just throwing stuff in. Literally,

00:49:04 --> 00:49:05

you know, they, you know, they they throw

00:49:05 --> 00:49:06

something on the wall, see if it sticks.

00:49:06 --> 00:49:09

That's what's happening here. Yeah. And, unfortunately, I'm

00:49:09 --> 00:49:11

looking at the view count, how many 1,000,

00:49:12 --> 00:49:14

80,000 people just sat there and listened to

00:49:15 --> 00:49:16

someone throw stuff on the wall and see

00:49:16 --> 00:49:17

if it sticks, and

00:49:18 --> 00:49:19

you could have spent that time talking to

00:49:19 --> 00:49:21

an actual human being Come visit the Muslim.

00:49:21 --> 00:49:23

Come to the mosque. Come.

00:49:23 --> 00:49:24

You can call us. 1-800-662-4752.

00:49:26 --> 00:49:27

We got a hotline. You can go and

00:49:27 --> 00:49:30

ask questions. Before we conclude also, you as

00:49:30 --> 00:49:32

a Baptist Christian, also a Catholic,

00:49:32 --> 00:49:35

and now also one of the talking points

00:49:35 --> 00:49:37

that they like to mention is that now

00:49:37 --> 00:49:38

someone who

00:49:38 --> 00:49:40

they make this, subtle

00:49:40 --> 00:49:43

and sometimes even direct that if someone accepts

00:49:43 --> 00:49:45

Islam, if you're someone who's supporting

00:49:45 --> 00:49:47

or your humanity is on it, you don't

00:49:47 --> 00:49:50

wanna see babies dying, that somehow you're anti

00:49:50 --> 00:49:50

America,

00:49:51 --> 00:49:51

you're and you now, Michael Smith, now that

00:49:51 --> 00:49:52

you've accepted Islam, are you like anti

00:50:10 --> 00:50:11

American to exercise free speech, free religion. American

00:50:12 --> 00:50:13

to exercise

00:50:13 --> 00:50:14

free speech, free religion.

00:50:15 --> 00:50:17

It's that's not un American. That is what

00:50:17 --> 00:50:19

America is about, diversity,

00:50:19 --> 00:50:21

about difference, about saying no. You know what?

00:50:21 --> 00:50:24

That's wrong. What's what's American? Rosa Parks sitting

00:50:24 --> 00:50:26

on a bus saying I'm not moving. That's

00:50:26 --> 00:50:29

Right? Civil rights, that's American. We're because we

00:50:29 --> 00:50:29

we we our country is supposed to allow

00:50:29 --> 00:50:30

that demonstration of no.

00:50:35 --> 00:50:37

They're not gonna just stifle that and push

00:50:37 --> 00:50:39

it down. So,

00:50:40 --> 00:50:41

what does it mean to be un American?

00:50:41 --> 00:50:43

If you guys think you have a monopoly

00:50:43 --> 00:50:45

on what it means to be America, be

00:50:45 --> 00:50:47

American, I just think you haven't got on

00:50:47 --> 00:50:49

the ground and walked through the inner cities

00:50:49 --> 00:50:51

of Philadelphia and New York and different places

00:50:51 --> 00:50:53

and seen the diversity that exists.

00:50:54 --> 00:50:57

I think that, yes, we may be against

00:50:57 --> 00:50:59

certain aspects of what you think it means

00:50:59 --> 00:51:00

to be American.

00:51:00 --> 00:51:01

Right?

00:51:02 --> 00:51:03

But but that's not you don't have a

00:51:03 --> 00:51:05

monopoly on what it means to be American

00:51:05 --> 00:51:07

straight up. We want the best. I I

00:51:07 --> 00:51:08

mean, I love my country, America. Well, you

00:51:08 --> 00:51:10

might not agree with certain I don't agree

00:51:10 --> 00:51:11

that now a man should go in a

00:51:11 --> 00:51:13

woman's bathroom. I mean was that American? No.

00:51:13 --> 00:51:15

But now we have free speech, now we're

00:51:15 --> 00:51:17

gonna according to the law within comp with

00:51:17 --> 00:51:19

what's permitted, we're gonna go and speak out

00:51:19 --> 00:51:21

against certain certain evils that now people

00:51:23 --> 00:51:25

have started to evolve to do in morality

00:51:25 --> 00:51:27

and whatnot. If you go back at a

00:51:27 --> 00:51:29

certain point in time in America

00:51:29 --> 00:51:31

you would not see where, like, the cohost,

00:51:31 --> 00:51:34

sorry, with all due respect, you know, someone

00:51:34 --> 00:51:34

who's,

00:51:35 --> 00:51:36

you know, there's not no low blow or

00:51:36 --> 00:51:38

anything, but you see, like, people it's a

00:51:38 --> 00:51:40

hypocrisy when you see

00:51:40 --> 00:51:42

someone, you know, we're pushing family values and

00:51:42 --> 00:51:44

you got people who are, you know, pushing

00:51:44 --> 00:51:45

out, they're promoting Onlyfangirls.

00:51:46 --> 00:51:47

Right? Mhmm. Mhmm. Promiscuity.

00:51:48 --> 00:51:49

Yeah. You know, all these things. Now is

00:51:49 --> 00:51:51

that American? So when Muslims speak up they

00:51:51 --> 00:51:53

say, look, like, you remember you watched some

00:51:53 --> 00:51:56

of these old films, like, where you'd have

00:51:56 --> 00:51:56

the father

00:51:57 --> 00:51:59

if the 2 were coming together, the father's

00:51:59 --> 00:52:01

in the back and marriage was more promoted.

00:52:01 --> 00:52:03

Right? Yes. Definitely. This is Islamic. This is

00:52:03 --> 00:52:05

a this was a part of America at

00:52:05 --> 00:52:07

one time. Right? And I think that's where

00:52:07 --> 00:52:09

they had great work happening, please. You had

00:52:09 --> 00:52:12

in Chicago here, you had at one point,

00:52:12 --> 00:52:13

you had tickets being issued

00:52:14 --> 00:52:15

if you were not properly dressed at the

00:52:15 --> 00:52:17

beach. Wow.

00:52:17 --> 00:52:19

In Chicago you could see the men wearing

00:52:19 --> 00:52:22

tank tops and the women also not being,

00:52:22 --> 00:52:23

you know Well, even till today, there's something

00:52:23 --> 00:52:26

called indecent exposure. Indecent exposure. Well, it just

00:52:26 --> 00:52:27

keeps getting We can go deeper into it

00:52:27 --> 00:52:29

but Alright. There's a there's a idea.

00:52:30 --> 00:52:32

Yeah. I mean, that's another rabbit hole to

00:52:32 --> 00:52:34

talk about, but the idea of, like, there's

00:52:34 --> 00:52:37

a level of shame at some level. The

00:52:37 --> 00:52:39

fact that there are laws on indecent exposure

00:52:39 --> 00:52:41

shows that we understand as a human being

00:52:41 --> 00:52:44

that there's some level of exposure that is

00:52:44 --> 00:52:45

too much.

00:52:45 --> 00:52:48

But all that changes is over time, that

00:52:48 --> 00:52:49

standard changes.

00:52:49 --> 00:52:51

But you already have laws that there's a

00:52:51 --> 00:52:52

such thing as indecent.

00:52:53 --> 00:52:53

So decency,

00:52:57 --> 00:52:59

and I'm gonna monopolize? Now you are holding

00:52:59 --> 00:53:02

out what's American, what's not, and who's American,

00:53:02 --> 00:53:04

who's not, and what not. Yeah. So that's

00:53:04 --> 00:53:06

see, these chill what's the hard part is

00:53:07 --> 00:53:08

that the people he was showing in those

00:53:08 --> 00:53:11

videos, praying, these college students, young Muslim, these

00:53:11 --> 00:53:14

are 3rd sometimes 3rd generation

00:53:14 --> 00:53:17

Americans. Yeah. Right? The that's why a lot

00:53:17 --> 00:53:18

of this goes back to,

00:53:18 --> 00:53:19

immigration too.

00:53:20 --> 00:53:22

A lot of it goes back to xenophobia.

00:53:23 --> 00:53:24

Right? A lot of it goes back to

00:53:24 --> 00:53:27

xenophobia because as we see the rates of,

00:53:28 --> 00:53:30

the family growth rates

00:53:31 --> 00:53:33

What's the what's the term? I'm sorry. But

00:53:33 --> 00:53:34

the the rate at which,

00:53:34 --> 00:53:36

certain demographics are reproducing

00:53:37 --> 00:53:38

is outweighing

00:53:38 --> 00:53:40

is is is out stretching the Yeah. Rate

00:53:40 --> 00:53:43

of reproduction in our in other demographics. Right?

00:53:43 --> 00:53:46

And so there's a threat. People feel threatened.

00:53:46 --> 00:53:48

Right? But there's nothing to be afraid of.

00:53:48 --> 00:53:50

Like, that's what we have to understand and

00:53:50 --> 00:53:51

that's what we have to talk about. Tell

00:53:51 --> 00:53:53

tell us what was it finally you felt

00:53:53 --> 00:53:54

closer to Jesus,

00:53:55 --> 00:53:55

Michael

00:53:56 --> 00:53:59

Smith, former Christian, obviously now what was it

00:53:59 --> 00:54:01

at the end that finally had you accept

00:54:01 --> 00:54:02

submission to the will of the creator and

00:54:02 --> 00:54:04

of the creation Oh, man. Well, this is

00:54:04 --> 00:54:06

Islam. I know we're at the end of

00:54:06 --> 00:54:07

our show here, so I'm gonna give the

00:54:07 --> 00:54:09

short version of it.

00:54:10 --> 00:54:12

I honestly and I don't mean to

00:54:13 --> 00:54:16

offend anyone, but I have always felt as

00:54:16 --> 00:54:17

I was studying Christianity

00:54:18 --> 00:54:20

that it was rather confusing. The nature of

00:54:20 --> 00:54:23

God was confusing. The trinity. The trinity and

00:54:23 --> 00:54:25

the nature of who Jesus was.

00:54:25 --> 00:54:28

I find a lot of double speak when

00:54:28 --> 00:54:30

they, people say, lord,

00:54:30 --> 00:54:33

they say attach lord to Jesus Christ

00:54:33 --> 00:54:35

or they pray to Jesus Christ. I think

00:54:36 --> 00:54:38

people some people will outright say, oh, he

00:54:38 --> 00:54:40

is God. No. He's the son of God.

00:54:40 --> 00:54:42

You know? There's a lot of haziness there

00:54:42 --> 00:54:43

even amongst certain,

00:54:44 --> 00:54:44

denominations

00:54:44 --> 00:54:46

of what the nature of Jesus

00:54:47 --> 00:54:47

was.

00:54:49 --> 00:54:51

And I felt as I studied Islam that

00:54:51 --> 00:54:54

it was just crystal clear

00:54:54 --> 00:54:55

crystal clear

00:54:55 --> 00:54:58

who Jesus was, who God was, who prophets

00:54:58 --> 00:54:59

were,

00:54:59 --> 00:55:02

and the role and function that they served.

00:55:03 --> 00:55:03

And,

00:55:04 --> 00:55:06

as a Muslim, we worship 1 God. We

00:55:06 --> 00:55:09

believe in all the prophets. The prophets come

00:55:09 --> 00:55:11

and give us a message. We follow that

00:55:11 --> 00:55:13

message to the tee because that's what the

00:55:13 --> 00:55:16

prophets brought us. It's a struggle. Some days,

00:55:16 --> 00:55:18

you're weaker. Some days, you're stronger.

00:55:18 --> 00:55:20

But that's the struggle of life to be

00:55:20 --> 00:55:21

upright.

00:55:21 --> 00:55:21

And,

00:55:22 --> 00:55:24

for me, I'll say it was the Quran.

00:55:25 --> 00:55:26

I I read the Quran,

00:55:27 --> 00:55:28

and it just spoke to me. It was

00:55:28 --> 00:55:31

familiar to me. It was familiar but clarifying.

00:55:32 --> 00:55:33

Right? Familiar but clarifying.

00:55:34 --> 00:55:35

I I converted

00:55:36 --> 00:55:37

right after September 11th,

00:55:38 --> 00:55:38

and,

00:55:39 --> 00:55:41

I I I think one thing that helped

00:55:41 --> 00:55:42

me a lot, there wasn't a lot of

00:55:42 --> 00:55:44

Internet at that time. I don't remember. It

00:55:44 --> 00:55:46

was way back in the day. And I

00:55:46 --> 00:55:48

just dealt with people. I talked to people.

00:55:48 --> 00:55:50

I read the Quran myself. I talked to

00:55:50 --> 00:55:50

people.

00:55:52 --> 00:55:52

And,

00:55:52 --> 00:55:55

yeah, that's pretty much it. That's pretty much

00:55:55 --> 00:55:57

it. What advice would you have for, Patrick,

00:55:57 --> 00:56:00

Ben David? Really, I mean, he he had,

00:56:01 --> 00:56:03

a lot of Muslim family. He's a lot

00:56:03 --> 00:56:06

of Muslims are are feeling very, disrespected. Islam

00:56:06 --> 00:56:07

is being dis

00:56:10 --> 00:56:12

ara, what advice would you have for him,

00:56:13 --> 00:56:15

so he can be more fair and balanced

00:56:15 --> 00:56:17

and he doesn't end up creating more resentments

00:56:17 --> 00:56:19

within the Muslim community? I I don't I

00:56:19 --> 00:56:21

don't know him. I I haven't really listened

00:56:21 --> 00:56:22

to a lot of his stuff to be

00:56:22 --> 00:56:23

honest.

00:56:24 --> 00:56:25

To And I wanna say, we're we're me

00:56:25 --> 00:56:27

sitting with him, sitting in and seem like

00:56:27 --> 00:56:29

a very nice man. To all influencers,

00:56:30 --> 00:56:30

who have a platform. And Yes. I say

00:56:30 --> 00:56:31

to them, be

00:56:35 --> 00:56:37

upright. Be honest. Honest.

00:56:37 --> 00:56:39

Be be be,

00:56:39 --> 00:56:41

be honest. Be honest

00:56:41 --> 00:56:42

and

00:56:42 --> 00:56:44

don't worry about the money. And I'm not

00:56:44 --> 00:56:46

saying he is. Yeah. But a lot of

00:56:46 --> 00:56:48

time, there's pressure because where where my kids

00:56:48 --> 00:56:51

kids get food from. Right? And I'm not

00:56:51 --> 00:56:52

saying he is. I don't know him. So

00:56:52 --> 00:56:53

this is not at all an attack on

00:56:53 --> 00:56:55

him. I don't know the man at all.

00:56:55 --> 00:56:57

But a lot of times, our pocketbooks and

00:56:58 --> 00:57:00

the impact financially is what's going to determine

00:57:01 --> 00:57:02

who's on who's on shows,

00:57:03 --> 00:57:03

who's

00:57:04 --> 00:57:04

speaking,

00:57:04 --> 00:57:06

what narratives are going.

00:57:07 --> 00:57:07

And,

00:57:08 --> 00:57:09

when you speak truth,

00:57:11 --> 00:57:12

it's gonna be difficult

00:57:13 --> 00:57:15

speaking truth. They say when Martin Luther King

00:57:15 --> 00:57:17

before he was assassinated,

00:57:18 --> 00:57:19

his popularity

00:57:19 --> 00:57:22

rate was so low. Who? Martin Luther King

00:57:22 --> 00:57:23

Jr. Martin Luther King?

00:57:24 --> 00:57:26

His popularity rate was so low

00:57:27 --> 00:57:28

despite that.

00:57:28 --> 00:57:30

Despite now we look back and there were

00:57:30 --> 00:57:32

there's a holiday for him. Wow. Right?

00:57:33 --> 00:57:36

What if you're searching for likes and attention

00:57:36 --> 00:57:39

sometimes Even Muhammad Ali, same thing. Exactly. So

00:57:39 --> 00:57:41

what I'm trying to say is

00:57:42 --> 00:57:43

there has to be a moral,

00:57:44 --> 00:57:47

compass that is focused on God and focused

00:57:47 --> 00:57:48

on my responsibility

00:57:48 --> 00:57:50

for God. And that one day, I'm gonna

00:57:50 --> 00:57:52

stand before God and be questioned about everything

00:57:52 --> 00:57:55

that I said. And sometimes speaking the truth

00:57:55 --> 00:57:56

is not going to be advantageous

00:57:57 --> 00:57:58

to your sponsors, to this, to that, to

00:57:58 --> 00:58:00

that, and a third. But, at the end

00:58:00 --> 00:58:02

of the day, we're all gonna stand before

00:58:02 --> 00:58:04

God and be questioned about what we did.

00:58:04 --> 00:58:06

Thank you. Thank you for Thank you. Helping

00:58:06 --> 00:58:08

us to go over this latest developments with

00:58:08 --> 00:58:10

this, so the people that they can benefit

00:58:10 --> 00:58:12

of this and, most importantly, the people viewing,

00:58:12 --> 00:58:15

and they can get a different perspective. No.

00:58:15 --> 00:58:17

It's amazing. I love it. My my research,

00:58:17 --> 00:58:19

my book that I've written, when hearing becomes

00:58:19 --> 00:58:22

listening and with the heart and mind, they're

00:58:22 --> 00:58:23

all about the prophetic

00:58:23 --> 00:58:26

the prophetic model of it connecting with people

00:58:26 --> 00:58:28

and how important it is to connect with

00:58:28 --> 00:58:30

one another. And so when we see everyone,

00:58:32 --> 00:58:32

polarizing,

00:58:33 --> 00:58:35

more than ever, we need to come together

00:58:35 --> 00:58:37

and really just understand each other. Those two

00:58:37 --> 00:58:38

books are heart

00:58:38 --> 00:58:39

with the heart and mind. With the heart

00:58:39 --> 00:58:42

and mind. And when hearing becomes listening. And

00:58:42 --> 00:58:43

where can people get those books? I'm Uzole

00:58:43 --> 00:58:45

O Come Up. O Come Up? Come Up.

00:58:45 --> 00:58:46

Yeah. Thank you.

00:58:47 --> 00:58:50

And it comes down to having the rectitude,

00:58:51 --> 00:58:52

the moral integrity,

00:58:53 --> 00:58:54

and we will continue to go ahead and

00:58:54 --> 00:58:55

have this dauntless

00:58:56 --> 00:58:59

persistence to relaying the truth, to helping people

00:58:59 --> 00:59:00

understand the truth,

00:59:00 --> 00:59:04

and the truth shall set you free. And

00:59:04 --> 00:59:06

if you go ahead and continue to tune

00:59:06 --> 00:59:08

in, you're gonna get more of the proper

00:59:08 --> 00:59:10

perspective. And if you really want to,

00:59:10 --> 00:59:12

like our guest here, what did he do?

00:59:12 --> 00:59:14

He read the Quran. So

00:59:14 --> 00:59:16

people really promote,

00:59:18 --> 00:59:21

being someone who is sound in their reasoning,

00:59:21 --> 00:59:22

reading,

00:59:22 --> 00:59:23

learning, growing.

00:59:24 --> 00:59:26

Have you read the Quran? You're talking about

00:59:26 --> 00:59:27

Islam. Why don't you pick up the Quran

00:59:27 --> 00:59:29

and actually read it for yourself?

00:59:30 --> 00:59:32

Get a good copy of the Quran. The

00:59:32 --> 00:59:34

translation is only one version and we'll give

00:59:34 --> 00:59:37

you that for free at the deanshow.com.

00:59:38 --> 00:59:40

Go ahead. We'll get it to you. We'll

00:59:40 --> 00:59:41

take care of everything

00:59:41 --> 00:59:42

so you can go

00:59:42 --> 00:59:44

ahead and see and judge for yourself. And

00:59:44 --> 00:59:45

if you have any questions,

00:59:46 --> 00:59:48

don't be a keyboard warrior. Call us. 1800

00:59:49 --> 00:59:50

662

00:59:50 --> 00:59:51

Islam. That's again, 1-800-662-4752.

00:59:54 --> 00:59:57

Ask those tough questions and see for yourself

00:59:58 --> 00:59:59

and try to set up a meeting with

00:59:59 --> 01:00:01

a Muslim, visit a mosque. You see it's

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

not a bomb making factory,

01:00:02 --> 01:00:04

and no fault for this nonsense

01:00:05 --> 01:00:07

that they're programming you with Islam. Muslims are

01:00:07 --> 01:00:09

a boogeyman coming to get you. Far from

01:00:09 --> 01:00:11

that, we are here to better our communities,

01:00:11 --> 01:00:13

our societies, our families. Subscribe if you haven't

01:00:13 --> 01:00:15

already. We'll see you next time. Until then,

01:00:15 --> 01:00:16

peace be with you.

01:00:16 --> 01:00:17

Eddie is taking

01:00:18 --> 01:00:21

this Amana of the people very seriously. He

01:00:21 --> 01:00:22

was just sharing a story with me that

01:00:22 --> 01:00:25

they had some benches inside that needed to

01:00:25 --> 01:00:27

be moved and Eddie together, father and son,

01:00:27 --> 01:00:28

were lifting these benches. Join us in this

01:00:28 --> 01:00:30

project, Inshallah, so we can establish

01:00:30 --> 01:00:31

a beautiful
