00:00:00 --> 00:00:02 
			I feel the Muslim Oman is more united
00:00:02 --> 00:00:04 
			in Nigeria than India. Okay.
00:00:04 --> 00:00:08 
			At least you have one common religious head
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09 
			by Sultan of Sokoto.
00:00:10 --> 00:00:13 
			He is the head of more than 100,000,000
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14 
			Muslims in Nigeria.
00:00:15 --> 00:00:16 
			Technically, we'll be 131,000,000,
00:00:16 --> 00:00:18 
			but I don't even object. So even if
00:00:18 --> 00:00:20 
			the Christians are 50 50 percent, so to
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 
			say more than 100,000,000 is safe. Right. We
00:00:22 --> 00:00:24 
			don't have such head in India.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 
			So India should learn from Nigeria. Okay. At
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 
			least you have a caliphate. Okay. Only in
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32 
			Sokoto. At least you have. So there is
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33 
			some resemblance to
00:00:34 --> 00:00:36 
			Islam, what Islam say, which is not there
00:00:36 --> 00:00:39 
			in India. In India, Muslims are divided. Divided
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41 
			in terms of denominations or in terms of
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 
			sects? No. I'm talking about in terms of
00:00:43 --> 00:00:43 
			religion.
00:00:44 --> 00:00:45 
			They may be divided other way. They may
00:00:45 --> 00:00:46 
			be divided in politics. They may be divided
00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 
			in business. That's different. Right. Correct? I'm talking
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 
			about talking about religion first. At least they
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54 
			unite. At least they respect that one person
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56 
			is is the religious leader. If not all
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 
			majority do that, and I've seen that in
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 
			India and religion, they are divided. So there's
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 
			no one leader even of a small percentage
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04 
			of the Muslim. Leave aside the whole of
00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 
			the Muslim Ummah. If the Muslim Ummah would
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08 
			have been divided in Nigeria,
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 
			today Muslims have been persecuted by the new
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11 
			government.
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12 
			India today,
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 
			after Narendra Modi came to power, he is
00:01:15 --> 00:01:16 
			trying to polarize
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 
			the Indians so that he comes to power.
00:01:19 --> 00:01:20 
			And he did that.
00:01:20 --> 00:01:23 
			He killed thousands of Muslims in Gujarat and
00:01:23 --> 00:01:25 
			became the chief minister. Then he became the
00:01:25 --> 00:01:26 
			prime minister.
00:01:27 --> 00:01:28 
			So if the Muslim in the United States
00:01:28 --> 00:01:29 
			will not happen.
