			In light of the current circumstances, as you're aware, for the last six weeks, I have been always
speaking about something that is of benefit and of relevance to the current political climate. And
so, continuation of that theme. Today, we will discuss a topic that I have mentioned many times in
my lectures in passing. But today, we're going to shed a little bit of extra light. And it is
especially relevant given the circumstances right now in Gaza, and for those slain, and that is our
history as a Muslim Ummah, our relationship with the Jewish people for the last 2000 years before
the creation of Israel for the last 15 centuries, because the fact of the matter is that it is truly
		
00:00:42 --> 00:01:30
			sad, in light of our contributions to the survival and the flourishing of this demographics, that
they seem to ignore and neglect all of the centuries of positive interactions. Because the fact of
the matter once again, Christian Europe treated this demographics in a very different way than we
did. And multiple times in history, the Muslim ummah, and the Muslim civilization played a vital
role in protecting hundreds of 1000s of persecuted Jewish people. So we need to be aware of this.
And we didn't need to know our own history. And again, only so much can be said for the history of
15th centuries. But as you're roughly aware, we went over this in detail, this earlier part and the
		
00:01:30 --> 00:02:19
			number of lectures in the year 70. See, in the time of Jesus Christ after Jesus Christ, the Second
Temple was destroyed. And so Judaism once again had its diaspora, they fled across the globe, so
they didn't have a land for the next 2000 years. Where were the Jewish people under Christian, and
then Muslim rule for 1500 years before 1947 1400 years before 1947? Where were the Jewish people,
either in Christian lands or in Muslim lands? Okay, what is the difference between how the Jewish
people were treated in Christian lands versus how they were treated in Muslim lands? This is the
summary we're going to be discussing today. And of course, the goal is to pique your curiosity, the
		
00:02:19 --> 00:03:03
			goal is to start you on the journey, obviously, in 1520 minutes, only so much we can do. We need to
understand Christianity from its inception has been extremely intolerant of the Jewish people. Why?
Because according to their theology, what did the Jewish people do to their own god to the Son of
God? Well, according to their theology, what did they do? They murdered the Son of God. So from the
beginning, there's a term that is found in Christian literature. I'm not inventing this term. It's
called Christ killers. This is what they called the Jewish people, Christ killers. And that is why,
generally speaking, in ancient Christianity, medieval Christianity, Jewish people were not treated
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:53
			as equal citizens. They didn't have the right to own property in most of European history, they were
forced to live in special areas. The ancient term for this in Venice, the Venetian term is still
used in English, guess what the term is? Ghetto, that term ghetto? Where does it come from? Now we
use ghetto to mean what a very poor, very impoverished part of the city. Well, it was called ghetto
for the first time in Venice in the 1200s. From a Venetian term to mean low class. It's literally a
term that was used for Jewish people. The term ghetto in English comes from them having to live in a
separate place of the city. Jewish people in Europe were prohibited from any noble profession. They
		
00:03:53 --> 00:04:33
			had to take ignoble tasks, they were prohibited from owning land, they were prohibited from rising
up in the ranks of nobility. In fact, the one job that they were not prohibited to do, and that's
why they started to do this more and more was the job that was prohibited by the church. And that is
lending of money. The church said, You cannot lend money on interest. And Christians, if they do, so
they're gonna go to *, they're going to be damned. This is Christian law. By the way, Jewish
people were exempt because they're not Christian. And they couldn't work and so many other areas.
This is not anti semitic. I'm teaching the history. This is a fact. Jewish people then took on by
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:59
			and large in Europe, the profession of money lending, charging interest, because they weren't
allowed any other job. They weren't allowed careers. And this was prohibited by the church, you'd be
damned. So what did they do? They became the proto bankers, the first bankers and so what's going to
happen slowly, but surely their wealth did increase. This is not a antiSemitic, it's the fact of the
matter is that they were involved in this profession and that is why rich died.
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:40
			As these from this group did begin to rise in the 15th 16th 17th centuries, but that's because they
were the ones lending money. Eventually the church had to buckle under pressure and change their law
and say it is now allowed for Christians to do otherwise Christians forbade Christians from a
lending money with interest it was out on for them, the church would excommunicate you. That's why
this group began to do this. In the 11th century, when the Crusades was announced in 1095 1096. The
first Crusaders, they left England, they left Italy, they left France, and they made their way to
Jerusalem, wanting to free quote, unquote, Jerusalem from Muslim lands. Do you know what happened?
		
00:05:40 --> 00:06:28
			Before they reached Jerusalem? They started massacring Jewish people were in Europe. Why? What has
that got to do with Jerusalem, they began to reason. If we're going to go to Jerusalem where Jesus
walked, we should avenge his death before we get there. And so 1000s This is the first time where
Paul Graham's happened against Jewish people, entire cities in Europe, entire cities in Germany,
this is in 1096 1097. Entire cities were decimated from the Jewish populations. It is really
pathetic what the Christians did, the women and children ran to the synagogues, begging for freedom.
And they burnt the synagogue with babies in it. They burnt it who the Christians why? Because these
		
00:06:28 --> 00:07:13
			are Christ killers. I say this because you need to know where is this anger? Where is this anti
semitic coming from? It's coming from Europe, we Muslims had nothing to do with any of this hatred,
the under you need to know the irony of how we can be accused when in reality, this notion of anti
semitism come straight from Europe. In the year 2015. The church gave a decree that Jewish people
could not live like normal citizens and the Christian land, they had to wear a different clothing.
They had to live in different places of the city. They had to have specific professions. This is the
Vatican This is the church normalizing the discrimination of Judaism. This isn't 1215 Don't be
		
00:07:13 --> 00:08:02
			surprised and a few decades 1290 King Edward of England said I don't want any of these people in my
kingdom. So he made a decree to expel every single member of the Jewish faith from England for 400
years. There were no Jewish people in England for 100 years. Why anti semitism? The King said none
of these people are going to be here. And Shakespeare writes his plays during this time. But the
stereotype the negative evil stereotype remains in the psyche of Europe. Go read Shakespeare's
plays, go read how he writes about Shylock the Jews, this is Shakespeare, not me. Shakespeare is an
anti Semite, in every sense of the term, the stereotypes, the negativity, and ironically, he's never
		
00:08:02 --> 00:08:48
			interacted with the Jewish person because there are no Jews in England when Shakespeare's writing
because of the decree only in 1680, or something that King relents and allows them back in. And that
is why, by the way to this day in England, the Jewish population is very small compared to other
places in Europe, because for four centuries, they were banned. And one of the worst manifestations
of anti semitism took place in under Lucia but not under us. When Ferdinand and Isabella re
conquered the conquest, when they conquered Granada, the Muslim land when they conquered Grenada,
the first decree less than one week, or one month after they took power 1492 They made the decree
		
00:08:48 --> 00:09:34
			it's called the decree of Alhambra because it was in the hambre Palace, there shall be no Jewish
people living in under Lucia, hundreds of 1000s of Jewish people were forced to convert to
Christianity, or were sent into exile, the entire population of Iberian Spain. And there were, we
don't know three 400,000 Half a million Jewish people, they were either forced to convert under
torture, or they had to flee for their lives. And this is one of the worst manifestations. Now you
get to Hitler in the 1930s and 1940s, which is of course, the worst anti semitic outburst in all of
human history. And this needs to be said bluntly, Hitler did not come in a vacuum. Hitler is tapping
		
00:09:34 --> 00:09:59
			in to mainstream Christian notions of anti semitism, the term anti Semite, the birth of anti Semite,
the notions of anti Semite, it has nothing to do with Arabs and Muslims. It is European and
Christian through and through 100%. Even the term is invented by the Christians and used by the
Christians. This is just a summary of Christian lands. Let's move on to Muslim lands.
		
00:10:00 --> 00:10:45
			Subhan Allah, wherever Muslims went, and there were Jewish people, the Jewish people faced a type of
flourishing, they were given a type of protection they could never find in Christian lands. And the
when Muslims conquered what is currently Iraq, what is currently Iran, Iraq had a large population
of Jews in Baghdad, from the time of the first expulsion, not even the second from 9500 BCE, because
the largest group of Jews for the first expulsion, they went to Iraq. So Muslims found large groups
of Jews in Iraq, in Iran is behind hundreds of 1000s of Jewish people again from the first and
second expulsion, and the Muslims came and found them. And they gave them protection under the
		
00:10:45 --> 00:11:29
			Treaty of Rome with Nahata Jerusalem, when Roman marched into Jerusalem, guess how many Jewish
people were there? Zero. Guess how many synagogues zero. Jews were not allowed to worship in
Jerusalem under the Christians. Guess who gave them the freedom to build the first synagogue after
the collapse of the temple? It was none other than it would have been a hotdog Rhodiola one stop
acting upon Islamic commandments acting upon prophetic guidelines, Jews and Christians are actually
Kitab they have the right to live freely, they have the right to worship they have the right to
build their synagogues and whatnot now modern, you know, liberals come along and they say, Oh, the
		
00:11:29 --> 00:12:10
			conditions of Ramadan Mahatama are second class citizenship. I'm not going to claim that OMA or the
Allah was condition is the same as secular America. It's not, but we're not comparing or murder,
we'll hop off to secular America, secular America has a different notion where, where religion plays
no role in the Islamic scheme of things. religion plays a vital role. So if you're a Muslim, yes,
you get perks and, and and privileges, no doubt about that. And if you're 100 Kitab, there are
certain things for example, you cannot convert people to your faith, for example, the the synagogue
Minar, or the temple, the temple in the scene, the synagogue cannot be higher than the minaret of
		
00:12:10 --> 00:12:55
			the mosque. I agree. These are conditions, but we're not comparing Bob to modern liberalism. We're
comparing OMA top to the rest of the world. The fact of the matter, never once in all of Islamic
history. Was there a policy to kill all Jews? Was there a policy to persecute all Jews? Was there a
policy to expel all Jews, so everyone on the Hata rhodiola, who allowed the Jewish people to come
back into Jerusalem, this is the first time they could come back and build the first synagogue under
the hood of a rush you don't. And the rest, as they say is history that in bulk dad when the
Abbasids made their basil hikma, you know the famous House of Wisdom, they hired the most competent
		
00:12:55 --> 00:13:34
			translators, regardless of their background. And because Muslim people weren't studying ancient
Greek and what not. Some of the best translators were from a Jewish background because they're the
ones studying ancient Greek, ancient Latin. And so baichwal hikma hired the top Jewish minds to be
in charge of the House of Wisdom and wonderful ultimates. And when the OMA yurts of Spain instituted
their own banquet Hickman because they wanted to compete there three philosophers, they wanted to
compete with one another. So they made their own institutes of publishing, they also hired the best
and brightest minds regardless of their background, Jews and Christians were at the top of this
		
00:13:34 --> 00:14:16
			list, you have to understand why Muslims weren't studying ancient Greek and whatnot, these
civilizations were so the whole alpha and the soul fans hired these people and gave them the best
salary so that they can work with them. And one of the most interesting examples in our own history
and under Lucia was under the thought if a kingdom of Grenada and around 10 101,030 See like
basically literally 1000 years ago, literally 1000 years ago, the prime minister of Grenada, the
sultan was Muslim. The Prime Minister was a rabbi, and his name is Ismail Ibn in a thriller,
thriller. It's my no thriller, and he was a rabbi. He was a learned man, he rose in the ranks until
		
00:14:16 --> 00:14:59
			he became the prime minister of Puerto Toba. This is a Jewish person and the people loved and
respected him the Muslim population loved and respected him. The books of history mentioned that
when the Reconquista began because the conquest took 500 years right when it first began, Ibn knows
Riddler this Jewish vizier was leading the Muslim army in jihad to defend kotoba against the
Crusaders. Can you believe this? And because in those times everybody dressed up in a particular
garb, they were Quranic, you know, talismans for the time Ibn Nadella it is said war the Quranic
coat of armor verses of the Quran and he
		
00:15:00 --> 00:15:40
			He's leading the Muslims in actual jihad against the Christians who are invading against kotoba. And
he defends, and he wins and he protects Oct. So this is the reality of Jewish life under the rule.
Now some people point out that 20 years later, a mini massacre occurs. And this you have to be
careful sisters and brothers. When you read these types of things, do your research, do your
research. It is true, a mini master Kircher against the Jews of Cordoba. But why? I'll tell you why
you won't find this too often. Because people just want to say, Oh, the Muslims rebelled, and they
massacred hundreds of Jewish people in Cordoba. It's true, but I'll tell you the story, this guy,
		
00:15:40 --> 00:16:23
			Ibn noccalula, he died and he was buried with honors his son 21 years old, was given the next
visitorship as an honor that your father was the vizier, you become the vizier, his son his use of
Ibn Nadella use of turned out to be a traitor. And the first thing he does he writes a letter to the
next kingdom. If you invade on such and such a date, I'll make sure you you win over the kingdom of
distract the army and whatnot. But there's one condition you must make me the ruler and I'll pay
taxes to you. Okay, so this guy use of he attempted a coup d'etat and he got his people to support
him and obviously his people are but Jewish background The letter was uncovered the Muslims went
		
00:16:23 --> 00:17:09
			wild mobs attacked the palace and literally shredded epinephrine the use of the son of the famous
one they literally shredded him and and you know, tortured him to death. And then they turned on his
core killed him them. And then it is true sad. The mobs turned on the Jewish Quarter because they
thought this was a Jewish revolt against the city and innocent people lost their lives. But the
point is, no soap on gave the command. No government instituted this. And the reason why it happened
was not because they were Jewish it because it's because the notion came that the entire community
is treacherous to us. That's why this happened. Then, things went back to normal and Jewish
		
00:17:09 --> 00:17:22
			communities began to flourish within 150 years, the greatest Jewish mind in all of Jewish history
was born and raised and studied in kotoba. Who is this person who can tell me
		
00:17:25 --> 00:18:19
			more Musa Bnei Mamoon Rambam is what the Jewish people call him the holy Rabbi that M bomb memorize
this name. That's a title honorific title Mu sub name a moon Moses Maimonides. In the entire history
of Judaism, there is no theologian that is more respected and venerated than rom bomb. Rambam Moses
Maimonides, born and raised in October, traveled the Muslim world died and is buried in Egypt in
Cairo. He spoke fluent Arabic, he went through the mud rasa systems in those days if you wanted to
study you want to the madrasa right and the madrasa is religious, so you study the sciences, along
with Quran and Tafseer and Hadith and fiqh. So most of them a moon as a Jewish student, when he was
		
00:18:19 --> 00:19:00
			not just given the freedom, he excelled in his studies, and his biographers mentioned this, I'm not
making this up, read his modern day biography. He lived like a Muslim, prayed like a Muslim recited
Quran like a Muslim, nobody forced him it was free, and the Lucia you could be who you are. But he
was in such all of Islam, that some people say he secretly converted for a few years, Allahu Adam,
but he lived like a Muslim in the dorms. And there was no pressure because in under Lucia, there was
a type of religious freedom that was not found anywhere in Europe, you could be a Christian, you
could be a Jew, Jew, you could be as a Rastafarian, you could be a Muslim, and everybody lived
		
00:19:00 --> 00:19:36
			freely and under Lucia. But Rambam decided to act like and memorize the Quran like a Muslim.
Eventually, he goes back to his rabbi, you know, a profession, and he begins writing. Now, this
deserves an entire lecture. I don't have time to get into there, but it is one of my areas that I
love to read about because intellectual history is my area. Moses Maimonides, listen, I'll just
summarize it. He took Islamic concepts. And he Judah sighs them. Mainstream Judaism is influenced by
Moses Maimonides. And Moses Maimonides is influenced by
		
00:19:38 --> 00:19:59
			Islamic thought. Now, this is not a conspiracy again, look this up. In fact, there's an entire entry
in the Stanford Encyclopedia I just saw this today is to make sure that I can reference to the
Stanford Encyclopedia online which is one of the most largest online encyclopedias the Stanford
Encyclopedia of intellectual thought has an entire article The Islamic influences on Moses may
		
00:20:00 --> 00:20:23
			quantities, and of them his proofs for the existence of God, his concept of God is coming straight
out of al farabi, al kindI his notion of prophethood. And what is prophethood? His notion of even
theology pause here put note. Sounds strange, I know. But Judaism by and large, did not concentrate
did not care about belief. Judaism cared about what
		
00:20:24 --> 00:21:10
			what law, Judaism cared about how you act, it had almost nothing to do with al Qaeda. That's why
they don't have any book on Aqeedah, the first book of, of Jewish theology who wrote it from Burma,
the first book, and you read this book, and you are reading al farabi, al kindI you are reading
Islamic mortality fought his conception of God of the attributes of Kadar his conception of
Prophethood it is coming straight out of his madrasa training. And this is now mainstream Jewish
belief. I'm not making this up. This is well known mainstream Jewish theology is coming straight out
of under Lucien madrasa. He just changed it, you know, made it a little bit and so and he wrote a
		
00:21:10 --> 00:21:51
			creed to this day, to this day, the righteous are the observant Jewish people, the first thing they
do when they wake up, they read Moses Maimonides, one page creed, and it begins an amino I believe
in I believe in just like a pinata how we just like other updaters it literally begins I believe in
and there's 13 points. I believe in God there is one last Jedi kala types of literally coming out of
Islamic thought he has no partner cannot be described in this literally goes through and it goes all
the way and I believe in resurrection. I believe in the Messiah that's going to come one of the 13
points I believe in the Messiah. So this is coming from Musab, they may mourn. By the way. One
		
00:21:51 --> 00:22:38
			interesting thing about rom rom Wallah he is so ironic so ironic. He became the best physician of
his time because he mastered Ibn Sina. So he read Ibn Sina he mastered Ibn Sina now he's the best
physician, he works his way up, guess who he becomes the personal doctor to none other than
Salahuddin Allah up. Salahuddin Allah you will be takes him as his personal court doctor for a
period of time he travels with Salahuddin he is the primary doctor of Salahuddin a UB nobody can
accuse our religion of anti semitism. Nobody can accuse our soul pawns our whole affair of hating
people because of the different fate. It didn't happen that way. If you were talented, you were the
		
00:22:38 --> 00:23:22
			best doctor. And it's so ironic. Salahuddin is conquering Jerusalem, and Rambam is his main Doctor
SubhanAllah. How can we not remind our Jewish brethren of this reality look at from where, to where
look at the past. And now look at how that has flipped. Eventually, he went to Egypt, he lived in
Egypt, by the way, he wrote most of his writings in which language Arabic, the chief rabbi of
Judaism is writing his books in Arabic, this is well known. You can see them and looked at look at
them online. And he has a book called the guide of the perplexed. And there are a number of papers
about this, that this is coming straight out of this movement of badass. Literally, Imam Al Ghazali
		
00:23:22 --> 00:24:04
			wrote a book called mental burden. And there is a book that he wrote for his people, the Guide for
the Perplexed, and it has the same motifs the same notion. Again, it's not copy paste, because in
the end of the day, he's an intellectual thinker, but he takes ideas he takes notions from Islam,
and he Judah assizes them, which is what we expect to do. But where's the origin? What's the colonel
from our faith tradition? It is true to say, it is true to say that never in the last 2000 years
before the creation of this country has the Jewish people flourished as they did under Muslim Spain
under Islamic under Lucia their greatest minds, their largest synagogues. You can visit their
		
00:24:04 --> 00:24:57
			synagogues to this day in October in Granada, they still have their synagogues that were built not
under the Christians under the Muslims were now in 1492 Ferdinand Isabella, come the first decree
all Jewish people will leave or convert or die be killed. Where did these 500,000 Jewish people go?
The sofar and Muhammad the second gave a decree. Anybody who flees from under Lucia shall be
welcomed in our lands anywhere you are. And he said any vizier any governor, any businessman who
impedes their settling, who stops them to settle in any city shall be punished by this will find
himself Sovann met the second welcomed hundreds of 1000s of Jewish people in 1492. with open arms he
		
00:24:57 --> 00:24:59
			literally saved them from Mexico.
		
00:25:00 --> 00:25:42
			We should or forced conversion. And he was angry at Ferdinand and Isabella. And he goes, this is not
a good policy. But he thanked them. He goes, but you are giving us your good minds. You're good
workers. Don't worry, we will take them because of this sisters and brothers. Where did they go?
They ended up in Morocco. In Tunisia. They ended up in Egypt, hundreds of 1000s of large Jewish
communities were living in the Middle East in Yemen. They were living there because Ferdinand and
Isabella expelled the Jewish people, Muslims welcome them. And they said to Fidel, come and live
here, and they lived here up until 1947. And by the way, before we even get to 1947, let's not
		
00:25:42 --> 00:26:34
			forget another chapter in Muslim Jewish history. And this one, I was honestly surprised when I found
out under Nazi rule, when you're all aware what Hitler did, he made a policy, all the people of that
background shall be exterminated, the most inhumane barbaric policy in the entire history against
the Jewish people was Hitler. He literally exterminated them by you know, gas chambers and whatnot.
Guess who intervened where possible in multiple countries, Muslims, sometimes at risk to their own
lives stood up and protected Jewish people and Wallahi brothers and sisters, I say to honestly, I
have visited Auschwitz and to how I have studied this chapter in history, while law here I swear to
		
00:26:34 --> 00:27:14
			you, if I were alive at that point in time, I would hope to Allah that I have the courage and
bravery to stand up against the tyrant of tyranny of Hitler, and to protect innocent women and
children, the way they were brutalized the way they were rounded up and just kill for no reason.
innocent babies, we saw 1000s of toys and 1000s of shoes of children literally just piled up there
killed for no reason, I would hope I would have that courage as well. And I was so happy to hear so
many people stood up the Sultan of Morocco, interesting Morocco was under the French rule. And so
technically, it was not independent. Yet when the French said, give us your Jewish people. So Vaughn
		
00:27:14 --> 00:27:58
			Mohammed, the fifth said no way. These people are our brethren. They have lived with us for
centuries, they shall not be handed over. So so far, Mohammed refused to obey the Nazi policies
under the French rule of the Nazis. Tunisia as well refused. The Ottomans refused in Bosnia, the
Muslims refused, and perhaps the most brave act of courage, because it wasn't a government was
brave. In France, the Muslims who were under the Nazi occupation. So the Nazis if you remember your
history, they invaded France and it took it over. So you have Nazi rule in France for a few years,
you literally had Nazis ruling France before the liberation in 1947. So Nazis are in control.
		
00:27:59 --> 00:28:47
			Muslims were allowed to live as second class citizens. The Imam of the masjid will Kadir, the Imam
of the masjid the Grand Mosque of Paris, I visited it. It's a very beautiful Masjid built in the
1930s. It's still standing to this day. It's a beautiful iconic Masjid in Europe, the Imam of the
masjid gave a secret talk to the Muslims, and he encouraged the Muslims. If you know any Jewish
friends of yours, bring them in, we will protect them in our mosque. The basement of the masjid
became a home for the Jews under Nazi rule in France. And this was engineered by the Imam, the chef.
And some people weren't, didn't have space, he forged Islamic documents and told them to dress like
		
00:28:47 --> 00:29:29
			Muslims. And it is said he saved over 1000 people by this policy. 1000 Jewish people in France were
saved by the Muslim community who literally banded together, they didn't tell any secrets that there
were families in the basement of the masjid and those that didn't have space, the Imam personally
forged IDs that these are Muslims, because you know, at the end of the day, what did the Nazis No,
they look different. They talk different, they dress different colors, they pretend to be Muslims.
This is what you call Islamic rule. This is what is a crock of the Muslim. When this tyrant comes,
you're not gonna allow him to do this, you will protect them. And so it is truly sad that all of
		
00:29:29 --> 00:30:00
			this history has been completely forgotten. What happened, obviously, you're aware, in 1947 It is
estimated there were around less than a million Jewish people living in Arab and Muslim lands less
than him and maybe 900,000. That's a huge number. By the way, especially after World War Two. After
World War Two, you had more Jewish people across the Middle East and Arab lands than anywhere in
Europe, right. So almost a million living in Yemen, in Cairo, in Iran in Morocco. These are all
people
		
00:30:00 --> 00:30:42
			bullets of Jewish background, what happens in 1947, the country of Israel is formed. And they make a
call a plea that if you come here you will be given perks and land if you come here, you will be
given a better economic status. And so majority of them migrated. Why did they migrate? Put yourself
in their shoes, it's their land. From their perspective, obviously, they're getting their own
people, they're getting a citizenship, they're getting land that they feel is going to be safer for
them. Some of them believe in Zionism. And yes, I'm not going to deny because of the atrocities in
1947. And the massacres against Arabs, it is true in a number of Muslim lands. For the first time in
		
00:30:42 --> 00:31:24
			history, these types of sentiments that we now are familiar with, began to develop against the
Jewish population. I'm not going to deny this. But why did it happen because of politics of Israel?
Not because they were Jews, because Israel massacred 1000s, hundreds of 1000s of Muslims expel
hundreds of 1000s of Arabs, well, then there's going to be a feeling of sentiment, why are you guys
doing here go where you belong and whatnot. So all of this put together in the next five to 10 years
from 900,000. Jews and Arab and Muslim lands. Currently it is estimated that are less than 15,000
across all lands 200 Here 500 Here, all of them have come to Israel. But one final point and with
		
00:31:24 --> 00:32:14
			this, we conclude SubhanAllah. This is something you need to know all Muslims. This division of
living under Muslim living under Christian it had and has and continues to have a profound impact on
the demographics of the country of Israel. Judaism is divided into multiple groups, the three most
important groups number one, Ashkenazi, number two Sephardim number three Mizrahi, these three
divisions go back to whether they were living under Europe or under Muslim rule. And the most
Europeanized Jewish people are the Ashkenazi Jews. These are the ones they never lived under Muslim
lands. These are the ones that have a different cultural background. They're more European,
		
00:32:14 --> 00:32:57
			generally they're more secular. Generally, they're the ones in charge. Generally, they're socially
economically privileged, and they're the government's ever since the founding of Israel. Sephardim
are those Jewish people that were kicked out of kicked out of under Lucia, and Mizrahi are the
Jewish people who lived in outer blondes, Yemen, Iran, other places for many millennia, there are
the smallest generally, Sephardim and Mizrahi are more pious, they're more orthodox, they're more
religious, they're more believing in God. And a lot of you don't know this. In Israel, they are
treated like second class citizens in Israel, because they can tell by your looks, they can tell by
		
00:32:57 --> 00:33:37
			your name, they can tell by your culture, the Ashkenazi Jews who have a white skin color, or the
superior class. And, of course, there's even a lower category that Felicia which are coming from
Ethiopia, and you should see how they are treated in Israel. They are the lowest of the low, but
above them are the myths and all he's done above them are the Sephardim, Sephardim and mizrahi's.
They are ghettoized in Israel in the 40s and 50s. They were not given the land they were promised.
They were not given the perks that the Ashkenazi Jews were given to. They were not given government
positions. And this caused I'm not joking. You could look this up in the 60s and 70s political
		
00:33:37 --> 00:34:26
			parties, some of them semi violent from the Sephardim from the Mizrahi were formed to fight against
whom, against whom the Arabs no Ashkenazis to fight for their rights. And these days, there is a
massive party in in Israel called the shots party, S H. A s the shots party, it is the fourth or the
fifth largest party. It is a party that was founded to protect the rights of the out of Jews, ie the
Sephardim and the Mizrahi Jews, so that they have equal rights as the Ashkenazis you have to realize
racism is rampant in that group of people, even amongst their own, any Jewish person who lived in
Muslim lands, who spoke Arabic who comes from an Arabic culture is not treated with the same respect
		
00:34:26 --> 00:35:00
			as the Europeans. And this is well known, open secret, go look it up, go do your research in this
regard. So this is one point and then want to conclude on this point, sisters and brothers and that
is that we are not mentioning this Wallahi we're not mentioning this to remind them of a debt they
owe us no, we did this because Allah told us to do it, not because of them. We did this because our
profit system taught us this is how we treat minorities. We would do it all over again. But we just
want to show the world this is Islamic law. This is Islamic Sharia the freedom
		
00:35:00 --> 00:35:39
			them that they had the intellectual, you know, curiosities, the books that they produced, they
couldn't produce a fraction of them in Europe in medieval times. And that is what we give to the
world. It is truly sad. And we don't say this as a debt or a favor. We're just pointing out the
facts. It is truly sad that the same descendants of those whom we saved those who were given refuge
with us, they have flipped the script, and they are doing what Hitler did to them they are doing to
the very people who protected them. And we just say this as a historical fact and record otherwise
we complain to Allah and Allah alone. These are facts we should all know. And we are proud as
		
00:35:39 --> 00:35:49
			Muslims of our history, and we're proud of our shitty app and there's nothing to be ashamed of
