Zaid Shakir – Imam at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Visit to Silicon Valley

			We're here
		

			today not only came along
		

			masquerade as the leader of
		

			the market
		

			for a person committed genocide
		

			so first and foremost
		

			anyone
		

			anyone
		

			no matter what their religion
		

			everyone regardless of their religion, their creed, price pressure ethnicity, of course we're murder
was the genocide
		

			cultural determination
		

			is not just on only the shape is on our country The shame is on Silicon Valley
		

			I would not invite a representative of ISIS here.
		

			We all know that
		

			celebrate someone who works to exterminate other people who wouldn't invite
		

			a representative
		

			of a Mexican drug cartel that's orchestrating murder and pogroms against innocent people. So our
question is, why is Silicon Valley,
		

			the United States, inviting Modi here, inviting someone who orchestrated, genocidal campaign not
just against the Muslim
		

			against the seeds of India, against the Christian of India, against the borders of India? Why would
they invite someone who is committed to genocide, committed to ethnic cleansing, committed to
extinguishing the cultural heritage of the Muslim community in India, of the Christian community in
India, of the Sikh community? In India? That is our question. As this is a question, we asked our
government This is a question, we asked Silicon Valley. Why is this genocidal murder? Why is this
picture hanging on the SAP system? We went to have a picture of someone a leader of ISIS on the SAP
center, we wouldn't have a picture of a leader of one of the Mexican drug cartels on the south
		

			center as an honored guest. So why is floating on your guest isn't just about money? Is it just
about influence? Is it just about politics and vote? We say no to that kind of politics. We say no
to that sort of economic influence. And we say yes, to the poor people of India, we say yes to the
disenfranchised community of India, we say yes. To those people who are suffering on the receiving
end of the genocidal campaign that has been launched by not only Modi for the party that he
represents, brothers and sisters. We have to raise our voices we have to protest. For most
importantly, we have to organize. We have to unify our ranks as a unified front of
		

			many communities, many religious community, many ethnic communities joining together and one voice
to say shame on.
		

			Shame
		

			shame on our government.
		

			F Modi's visa was referred when he was in Prime Minister, it should remain revoked because the
leader of a state that's committed to it
		

			genocide should be no different than the leader of a party committed to genocide. We're saying
essentially, if Adolf Hitler was not the leader of Germany, his visa will be revoked for when he
becomes the prime minister, when it becomes a furor, he's welcome. We would say that's absurd. Well,
it's also observed that someone who consciously participated in a genocidal campaign that left 1000s
of innocent people dead, should be treated as any other criminal, to be treated as any other
criminal. So we have to unite, as this side says, Those who are from the Hindu community, the Jain
community supporters,
		

			the Christian community, and those of us from the Muslim community, for for the people, and for
units, and for cooperation, and for living in a state where everyone's rights are respected, where
everyone can feel that they are protected, and have equal protection under the law. They have to
unite, bring our voices together, bring our votes together, our influence together, and make those
who would allow killers and tall country to hold them accountable, to hold them accountable. And
that's the only time we'll begin to see visas revoked for criminals, such as this criminal mode for
murderers, such as this murderer, orchestrators of genocide, such as this orchestrator of genocide,
		

			and the American people should be aware of this, and should withdraw with support from anyone, no
matter who they represent. As he said, if they're Muslim, or just as guilty, we should have equal
opportunity, condemnation of murderers of genocidal
		

			murderers no matter who they are. But here we're gathered to protest this particular murder. This
particular architect of DataCite, has won voice, as you can see many different communities, one
voice, one message that the appearance of moody is unconscionable, and it is unAmerican, and
unacceptable. And we're here to say that and to tell our federal power citizens and to unite with
others who share that message, brothers and sisters, we, in conclusion,
		

			we are trying to build a world of cooperation. We're trying to build a world where these terrible
weapons, nuclear weapons, and other weapons of mass destruction will not be used against those we
oppose will not be used against those who might have a different religion will not be used against
those who might be from a different economic class, or caste will not be used against those. We
differ when we're trying to build a world where we can talk with each other, we can uplift each
other, where we can share and cooperate with each other. And those like moody, Rowdy are trying to
build a different sort of world, a world that will take us backwards to the days of sectarian
		

			violence, to the days of communal and sponsored genocide. We don't want that world because that is
not the world our children can live in. That is a world that faces our children, and the future of
our children at stake. We want a world where our children can come together as a human stem can
discuss our issues, and resolve all problems, you peaceful, diplomatic negotiation, and not through
war and violence and genocide. That's what we stand for cooperation, and not condemnation. We stand
for communal harmony, and that communal genocide, we stand for coming together to solve our
problems, and not working in isolation, as separate segregated communities to answer fate and create
		

			new problems. The world of genocide, your world of violence, the world of non cooperation, is the
world that voti represents. And we believe that this is an American type of world. This is a
		

			on democratic type of world, we represent something else. And we're here to raise our voices to tell
our fellow citizens that we represent something else. And anything else is shameful. It is shameful.
It is unacceptable. It is wrong. Shame shame mo
