Yasir Qadhi – We Already WON! – Responds to Piers Morgan

Do you condemn what Hamas did that day?

Do you condemn October 7th? Do you condemn

that political organization? Do you condemn? Do you

condemn? All Muslims,

it is high time that we claim the

narrative,

and we shift the conversation.

Don't be intimidated

by such tactics.

Be brave. Learn your facts and push back.

You want me to condemn? Yes, wallahi, I

will condemn. I will begin by condemning the

debacle of the Balfour declaration

where all of this began. The Balfour declaration

and the Sykes Picot agreement. Let's begin by

condemning world war one. Let's begin by condemning

great Britain, handing over a piece of land

that it had nothing to do with to

a people that have nothing to do with

it. You want me to condemn? Let us

begin by condemning the first and the second

nakba, in which 1,500,000

people were displaced. You want me to condemn

genocides and massacres? Let us begin by condemning

the massacres that Israel perpetrated against Palestine, beginning

with Deir Yassin in 1947,

where 100 of bodies were filled up in

the well of Deir Yassin. You want me

to condemn hostages? Let's begin by condemning

15,000

Palestinians

held without trial, without any fair representation

in Israeli prisons. Let's begin by condemning them.

You want me to condemn killing a people?

Let us begin by the carpet bombings that

Israel constantly does for the last 25

years. And I'm gonna go there today, brothers

and sisters, because enough is enough. And if

we're all towered into silence, if we're all

too scared to speak the truth, they're gonna

get away with it. But if every one

of us raises our voices, is that every

one of us is brave enough to push

back, well then, insha Allahu ta'ala, we will

achieve a level of social credibility.

We will push back at the narrative. When

too many people speak the truth, that is

what is gonna break down falsehood. And And

that's what we need to do. So let's

go to the very events you want us

to condemn. You want us to condemn October

7th. I have plenty to condemn

even on that day. How about we begin

by condemning

the lies that you perpetrated

about what happened on that day? Lies that

went all the way from CNN, from BBC,

from New York Times, from every single newspaper.

Even our president lied straight to us and

he looked at the camera and he said,

I saw pictures of 40 decaminated

babies. I never really thought that I would

see and have

confirmed

pictures of terrorists

beheading each other. Pure lie, Israeli propaganda. I

will condemn and this is my condemnation.

How dare you lie to us and you

lie to the world. And because of that

lie, people were enraged and 1,000 lost their

lives. We all know it was a lie.

Even the New York Times had to withdraw

and retract the story. You want me to

condemn? How about the condemnation of your lies,

of the mass rapes that you said occurred?

Not a single * has been attested to

that day. I will condemn because you're the

ones who created a narrative. You're the ones

who falsely construed a narrative that was then

used to bomb, to kill, to maim, to

rampage.

You're the ones who falsely created a narrative.

This October 7th did not come out of

a vacuum. You want me to condemn?

I will condemn

75

years of brutal occupation before October 7th. That's

what I'm going to condemn. Enough is enough,

brothers and sisters. Enough is enough. And what

Gaza has done is that it has shown

the world

the hypocrisy

of those who claim to champion

human rights and freedom.

Gaza has shown the hypocrisy

of those who said, we are the world's

leaders because we are the best.

We are the world's leaders because we are

for democracy.

We are for human rights. We are for

liberties.

And what a small group of people in

Gaza have done is to shown the world

those were blatant

lies.

Absolute

lies.

The mask of deceit has fallen. And the

truth has been laid bare. And the myth

of the moral superiority

of western civilization

has been shattered

single handedly

by our brothers and sisters in Gaza. The

world is changing.

The tide is shifting.

The narrative has now been changed.

And there is no going back, all Muslims.

There's no going back. The fact of the

matter,

even if Gaza is in shambles,

the people of Palestine have won on the

global battlefield.

Never in 75 years has the Palestinian

cause garnered so much support.

Never in 75 years has the entire globe,

other than a few countries come behind Palestine.

All Muslims, remain firm.

Remain persevering.

Persist in all that you're doing. Raise your

voice. Be an influence to your family and

friends, and understand we're in this battle for

the long run, and we might not see

political victory immediately. We might not. But I

say to you loudly and clearly,

we have already won the moral victory. We

have already won the moral battle. Palestine has

won. The people of Gaza have won.
