If we're not thinking as an OMA, we're not thinking about it as a Muslim community. We don't make our own food. We don't educate our own children. We don't actually own as much as we think we do after credit and mortgage is taking into account. We can't make things for ourselves. Therefore, we are not self sufficient. Remember when the oil embargo happened in the 70s? What are the King of Saudi Arabia say threateningly, he said, we'll go back to dates and water if we have to. That's power, right? To have the ability to produce for yourself is to not be able to be messed with by anybody else. We can't satisfy all of our needs as a community. Again, we've got the Holy Trinity.

If this is how assimilation happens. All the things that I've been pointing out how the you know, the fracturing of the family and the breaking up and the feeding of dreams and the dreams that you imagined for yourself that aren't your own dreams.
They're not your own dreams, they were fed to you. Okay, this is how assimilation happens. It's not sustainable. It's not viable in three generations. If these are our dreams, we will not be Muslims or maybe your children, your grandchildren will not be Muslims.
