Yasir Qadhi – We Condemn – We Condemn

All Muslims,

it is high time that we claim the

narrative,

and we shift the conversation.

Don't be intimidated

by such tactics.

Don't fall prey to these types of 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 the

Declaration, and the Sykes Picot Agreement. Let's begin

by condemning World War I. 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. Let's begin by condemning that.

You want me to condemn?

You want me to condemn? Let us begin

by condemning the 1st and the second Nakba,

in which 1,500,000

people were displaced.

You want me to condemn? 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 hundreds of bodies were filled up in

the well of Deir Yassin. You want me

to condemn? 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 of people,

let us begin by the carpet bombings that

Israel constantly does for the last 25 years.

And as for, 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 if every one of us is brave

enough to push back, Well then, insha'Allah,

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 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 decapitated

babies. Pure lies, Israeli propaganda.

I will condemn and this is my condemnation.

How dare you lie to us? You're supposed

to be our president. You're supposed to speak

the truth and you lied 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 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 razzah has done,

What Gaza has done

is that it has

shown the world

of those who claim to champion

human rights and freedom.
