Summary

In this episode, I speak with Ali about her views on the hijab and why she doesn't want to shake hands with non-Muslims. We also talk about the difference between being a Muslim woman and a non-Christian woman, and why it's wrong to shake someone else's hand.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Like, if I said certain things to you forever about the hijab, you're not going to agree with it, yeah?
00:00:04.000 Neither am I going to agree with certain things you believe.
00:00:06.000 But this doesn't mean we depart our ways, we have our common factors and we go with that.
00:00:09.000 So for example, do we both agree that rape is wrong?
00:00:12.000 Yes.
00:00:13.000 Do we both agree that killing innocent people is wrong?
00:00:15.000 Yes.
00:00:16.000 Do we both agree that we should live in harmony?
00:00:17.000 No.
00:00:30.000 Lighting okay?
00:00:33.000 Yep.
00:00:34.000 Everyone's beautiful.
00:00:36.000 So, Ali, you've repeatedly contacted me on Twitter.
00:00:40.000 You've wanted to talk for a while.
00:00:42.000 It's good to finally meet you.
00:00:44.000 First things first, will you shake my hand?
00:00:47.000 No.
00:00:48.000 No, you won't shake my hand.
00:00:49.000 Why not?
00:00:50.000 Don't shake my hand.
00:00:51.000 Oh yeah, shake my hand.
00:01:00.000 Because in our religion, just like, for example, we're Orthodox Christians and Orthodox Jews.
00:01:06.000 So, I live quite near Stamford Hill.
00:01:08.000 I don't know if you've been there.
00:01:09.000 There's a massive Jewish community there.
00:01:11.000 And they have obviously beliefs, and I respect those beliefs.
00:01:13.000 So for example, sometimes when they come out from the synagogue, the women don't really walk on the same side as them.
00:01:18.000 Now, to them, we see that a bit extreme, because in Stam we don't have that.
00:01:21.000 We don't say a woman has to walk over the street, or a woman is something abnormal.
00:01:25.000 She's an abnormal creature where you can't be next to her.
00:01:27.000 No.
00:01:28.000 Islam gives a lot of rights.
00:01:29.000 For example, the right to divorce.
00:01:31.000 You know, 1400 years ago, when women were treated like, it was actually like this.
00:01:36.000 It was a man who had the rights, then it would be maybe a camel, then it would be a woman.
00:01:40.000 So now, Islam came to abolish that, because back in those days, they used to bury their daughters alive.
00:01:45.000 Yeah?
00:01:46.000 Why?
00:01:47.000 Because they were a girl.
00:01:48.000 So the Prophet Muhammad came to abolish that.
00:01:50.000 Why?
00:01:51.000 Because, why would you bury your daughter alive?
00:01:52.000 Because she's a woman.
00:01:53.000 Do you get what I'm trying to say?
00:01:54.000 So, back then, just to finish, sorry, just to finish up.
00:01:57.000 So, the woman got the rights to vote.
00:01:58.000 The woman got a right to choose who she wants to marry.
00:02:00.000 The woman got a right to not adopt her husband's surname.
00:02:03.000 The woman in Islam has a right to, for example, my wife, if she has 20 million pounds in her
00:02:09.000 account, and I'm broke, I'm not allowed to touch her money.
00:02:12.000 I need to provide for her.
00:02:13.000 So, she has a right to education, a right to own property, a right to divorce.
00:02:18.000 When you look at Orthodox Jews, they-
00:02:20.000 But that wasn't what I was asking about, was it?
00:02:21.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:02:22.000 It wasn't, but it's just to give you a little context behind, because what happens is, me
00:02:25.000 not shaking your hand automatically might make people think, hold on a second, why?
00:02:29.000 Is there something wrong with Lauren's hand?
00:02:31.000 Or like what Jada says from Britain First, Isaac, because I'm a dirty kufrad.
00:02:34.000 These kind of things, I really want to get this misconception out there, but it's got
00:02:37.000 nothing to do with you being a woman.
00:02:38.000 Well then, what is it?
00:02:39.000 Why can't you shake my hand?
00:02:40.000 Because-
00:02:41.000 Could you shake my hand if I were a man?
00:02:42.000 Oh yeah, no, of course.
00:02:43.000 Of course.
00:02:44.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course I wouldn't.
00:02:45.000 Because the thing is, for example, it's not just because of you.
00:02:46.000 If a Muslim woman came to me and said, shake my hand, I'd be like, no.
00:02:49.000 It's not because you're a non-Muslim.
00:02:51.000 Even if it's a Muslim-
00:02:52.000 It's because I'm a woman, right?
00:02:53.000 Well, yeah, why?
00:02:54.000 No, no, it's because you're an opposite gender.
00:02:56.000 You're from the opposite gender.
00:02:57.000 So, it's the same with a Muslim woman.
00:02:58.000 She would not shake the hand of another man, be it a Muslim or not.
00:03:02.000 So, it's not about you being a non-Muslim.
00:03:03.000 It's because we just believe that interaction is for your husband or your father or your brother.
00:03:08.000 And just the way the Orthodox Jews have that belief as well.
00:03:11.000 I respect that.
00:03:12.000 But, like for example, if I say to you, I have a belief where you need to touch my toe.
00:03:16.000 If I say to you, Lauren, can you touch my toe please?
00:03:18.000 You might find out a bit like, I prefer not to.
00:03:21.000 But, especially if that's my culture.
00:03:22.000 Right.
00:03:23.000 Exactly.
00:03:24.000 You know, I actually agree with you.
00:03:25.000 I think it's totally fine that you have those beliefs and that you behave in that way.
00:03:29.000 However, you are aware you are in England right now where shaking one's hand is seen as a sign of greeting and respect.
00:03:35.000 Yeah.
00:03:36.000 No, no.
00:03:37.000 Of course, you're right.
00:03:38.000 Now, for example, just because I'm in England, that doesn't matter.
00:03:40.000 I obey the law of the land.
00:03:41.000 For example, I try to stay away from crime.
00:03:43.000 Yeah?
00:03:44.000 I try to obey the law of the land as much as I can to the best of my ability.
00:03:46.000 Why?
00:03:47.000 Like I showed my passport when I confronted Tony Robinson is that that passport is an agreement
00:03:51.000 with me and this British government that I'll obey the law of the land.
00:03:54.000 I'm not going to go and do what these maniacs do, run people over or whatever it may be.
00:03:58.000 Do you know what I'm trying to say?
00:03:59.000 Do you know what I'm trying to say?
00:04:00.000 I'm here to obey the law of the land.
00:04:01.000 I'm here to live in peace side by side by you and have an interaction with me and talk to you.
00:04:05.000 And like you see today, for example, we're here to interact with people and live in harmony.
00:04:09.000 We're not here just because I live in this land.
00:04:11.000 This doesn't mean that you impose your ideas or I impose my ideas on you.
00:04:14.000 If I come and say to you, Lauren, why are you not wearing a hijab?
00:04:17.000 You're going to say, Ali, first you might say, look, this is my country.
00:04:19.000 But if we were in, let's say, Dubai, yeah?
00:04:21.000 I'm not going to come and say, Lauren, why are you not wearing a hijab?
00:04:24.000 That's your choice.
00:04:25.000 I'm not going to come and say, hey, you're in a Muslim land, put your hijab on.
00:04:28.000 No, it doesn't work.
00:04:29.000 I actually think that I should assimilate to, if I go and I move somewhere, I should assimilate to that culture.
00:04:34.000 I think that would be very important.
00:04:35.000 And I think as someone who is Christian, I wouldn't go and move to a Muslim majority country
00:04:39.000 because I don't think I'd fit very well there.
00:04:41.000 And I don't think I would be creating areas of just Christians, no-go zones,
00:04:45.000 where Muslims couldn't come into and practice their faith in a Muslim nation.
00:04:48.000 There's no such thing as no-go zones because I've been there.
00:04:51.000 You've been to no-go zones in the UK?
00:04:53.000 Yes, absolutely.
00:04:54.000 In the UK?
00:04:55.000 I've been to areas where, okay, some of the worst ones I've seen have been in kind of the suburbs of Paris.
00:05:00.000 And of course...
00:05:01.000 Can you define no-go zones?
00:05:02.000 Because I find that really funny.
00:05:03.000 No offence to you, yeah?
00:05:05.000 These no-go zones, I would be happy to walk with you and just really see if there's no-go zone areas.
00:05:10.000 Because if they really are, that means, I'll say, Lauren, you know what?
00:05:13.000 This is a problem with our community.
00:05:14.000 Right.
00:05:15.000 We need to fix that.
00:05:16.000 What do you mean no-go zone area?
00:05:17.000 How could Lauren not walk through this area?
00:05:19.000 So I would say, you know what?
00:05:20.000 Lauren, come back in a month's time.
00:05:21.000 Let's fix this problem.
00:05:22.000 Because how could you dare to sell you just because you are not a Muslim to tell you can't walk through that zone?
00:05:27.000 This is ridiculous.
00:05:28.000 The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, lived with the Jews and the Christians in harmony.
00:05:32.000 You have Coptic Christians in Egypt today who are living there.
00:05:35.000 Why?
00:05:36.000 Because they lived in harmony together.
00:05:38.000 They never had no problem.
00:05:39.000 Right, but this isn't about...
00:05:40.000 I understand that you can interpret your book in different ways, you can interpret your religion in different ways,
00:05:44.000 but it's about how people act now.
00:05:46.000 And I know for a fact there are certain areas where if I were to walk through there with someone like Tommy Robinson,
00:05:51.000 he wouldn't last 10 minutes and you know that too.
00:05:53.000 Okay, Lauren, I would say, I don't know you personally, yeah?
00:05:56.000 For example, Lucy is someone that, like I mentioned this a lot, the reason I mention it, yeah?
00:06:01.000 Not that I fancy Lucy.
00:06:02.000 Yeah, let me get this right.
00:06:03.000 Lucy, the reason I'm saying this is because I've messaged Lucy.
00:06:05.000 I've interacted with her.
00:06:06.000 She didn't come and say you, this, that or that, yeah?
00:06:09.000 But Lucy is a nice individual.
00:06:11.000 Now, when you get Tommy, it's like, I'm being honest, yeah?
00:06:13.000 It's like, you don't get a normal German and put Hitler together.
00:06:16.000 It's like, whoa, they're two total opposites.
00:06:18.000 That's why I always wonder, why does Lucy work with Tommy?
00:06:20.000 Well, she's doing her job.
00:06:21.000 With Tommy, Tommy was yesterday in Luton giving out leaflets.
00:06:24.000 Awudhu Billah.
00:06:25.000 That means, like, I seek refuge in God Almighty from Satan.
00:06:29.000 He's saying, Allah is gay.
00:06:32.000 This is hate preaching.
00:06:34.000 This is what Anjum Chowdhury and ISIS does.
00:06:36.000 What is the difference between Tommy and that?
00:06:37.000 You have free speech in this country.
00:06:39.000 It's different than...
00:06:40.000 Let's differentiate.
00:06:41.000 You have free speech here.
00:06:42.000 We don't have blasphemy laws.
00:06:43.000 I mean, the local people try to enforce them,
00:06:45.000 and they get the police to come over
00:06:47.000 and try to arrest Tommy and take away his leaflets.
00:06:50.000 They're doing a good thing.
00:06:52.000 They're doing a good thing.
00:06:53.000 Because if they did the same thing to Anjum,
00:06:54.000 they're doing a brilliant thing.
00:06:55.000 You know why?
00:06:56.000 Because this is what we get confused a bit.
00:06:57.000 Freedom of speech and hate speech, yeah?
00:06:59.000 There's a big difference.
00:07:00.000 If I came and said today, right now,
00:07:02.000 I hate the Jews and what Hitler did was beautiful.
00:07:05.000 Is that freedom of speech or hate speech?
00:07:07.000 It's freedom of speech.
00:07:08.000 That's hate speech.
00:07:09.000 That's the difference.
00:07:10.000 Maybe you don't know wrong.
00:07:11.000 Well, hate speech and free speech are the same thing.
00:07:12.000 No, no, no, no.
00:07:13.000 They're both speech that should be allowed.
00:07:15.000 I don't think you should be allowed to do things where you say,
00:07:17.000 I'm going to go kill someone.
00:07:18.000 I'm trying to kill someone.
00:07:19.000 I'm going to use your argument.
00:07:20.000 That's freedom of speech.
00:07:21.000 No, no, no.
00:07:22.000 Because that is a criminal act because you intend to do something
00:07:24.000 that would violate your life or property.
00:07:26.000 No, but what if I said, not directly,
00:07:28.000 I said, you know what?
00:07:29.000 It would be good if, you know,
00:07:31.000 these non-Muslims didn't exist.
00:07:33.000 That's my freedom of speech.
00:07:34.000 You know, I'm not saying you should do it,
00:07:35.000 but they should do it.
00:07:36.000 That's an opinion.
00:07:37.000 If you're saying you don't want to do it, then fine.
00:07:39.000 No, but that's hate speech.
00:07:40.000 That is the reason.
00:07:41.000 That is not hate speech.
00:07:42.000 Yeah.
00:07:43.000 Let me tell you why I am.
00:07:44.000 We might have a different opinion, yeah?
00:07:45.000 Here, we have hate speech laws, yeah?
00:07:46.000 Okay.
00:07:47.000 Now, when Tony Robinson says why Muslims kill for Islam
00:07:51.000 and don't bring a single verse,
00:07:53.000 and Darren Osborne reads that book
00:07:55.000 or goes on an iPad and watches his videos
00:07:57.000 and says, you know what?
00:07:58.000 These people are out here to kill us.
00:08:00.000 And there's these attacks that have happened.
00:08:02.000 So I need to take the matters into my own hands.
00:08:04.000 So what happens is that hate speech,
00:08:06.000 just the speech, it's just the speech,
00:08:08.000 causes some man to take action into his own hands,
00:08:10.000 same way as ISIS
00:08:12.000 and these people who run over innocent men,
00:08:14.000 women and children, what do they do?
00:08:15.000 They watch ISIS videos and be like,
00:08:16.000 these kuffar, they look like they're killing us,
00:08:18.000 they're doing this,
00:08:19.000 and they think, yeah, they're right,
00:08:20.000 they're after us.
00:08:21.000 What should I do?
00:08:22.000 Take the matters into my own hands
00:08:23.000 and I'll run people over on London Bridge.
00:08:26.000 Both are very poorly like this, yeah?
00:08:28.000 Tommy Robinson, ISIS,
00:08:29.000 and Anjum Chawji,
00:08:31.000 Anjum Chawji,
00:08:32.000 and Abu Halimah, they're on that side.
00:08:33.000 We, the British public, were here
00:08:35.000 and we're the ones suffering.
00:08:36.000 We're getting killed.
00:08:37.000 Fillsbury Park, Muslims got run over.
00:08:39.000 How many times non-Muslims got run over in the bridges?
00:08:41.000 Why?
00:08:42.000 Because of hate speech.
00:08:43.000 If we don't differentiate this...
00:08:44.000 It's not because of hate speech,
00:08:45.000 it is, it is.
00:08:46.000 The flyers that were saying Allah is gay
00:08:48.000 were a play on the Vice article that said
00:08:50.000 Jesus Christ is gay.
00:08:51.000 That's disgusting.
00:08:52.000 They were a play on that.
00:08:53.000 Even saying Jesus is disgusting.
00:08:54.000 How does that cause people to kill others?
00:08:56.000 Saying something like that.
00:08:57.000 That Vice article didn't inspire a single Christian
00:08:59.000 to run people over.
00:09:00.000 This shouldn't inspire anyone.
00:09:01.000 It is the individual who acts in such a manner
00:09:04.000 that is fully responsible for their act.
00:09:07.000 Yeah, no, you're right.
00:09:08.000 So what I'm trying to say is here this,
00:09:09.000 that Tommy Robinson doing that doesn't...
00:09:11.000 I didn't say him just giving out a leaflet
00:09:13.000 is just going to make somebody say,
00:09:14.000 you know what?
00:09:15.000 I want to go and doing this.
00:09:16.000 I'm saying...
00:09:17.000 We're looking at the matter as a whole, yeah?
00:09:18.000 Tommy Robinson for the past 10 years,
00:09:20.000 comes and says,
00:09:21.000 this book here has a hundred verses
00:09:24.000 who says kill the kuffar wherever you find him.
00:09:26.000 Okay.
00:09:27.000 And the reason why I went after him in Britain first
00:09:28.000 is because Tommy Robinson and Britain first think,
00:09:30.000 they have an open field,
00:09:31.000 they can do whatever they like.
00:09:32.000 So when I came into the scene,
00:09:33.000 Tommy, you know, he got the message very clearly
00:09:37.000 and clear cut.
00:09:38.000 You know why?
00:09:39.000 Because I said, I don't want to fight you.
00:09:41.000 I just want to discuss with you.
00:09:42.000 You claim something about my book.
00:09:44.000 So therefore now, Tommy Robinson,
00:09:45.000 he's preaching something.
00:09:47.000 He's saying, for example,
00:09:48.000 the Muslims are here to kill us.
00:09:50.000 They've been doing it for 1400 years.
00:09:51.000 They want to stay.
00:09:52.000 They want us chopped up.
00:09:53.000 Okay, good.
00:09:54.000 Now I'm getting to know you a bit.
00:09:55.000 So now you believe that.
00:09:56.000 If that's true,
00:09:57.000 then kindly as I asked Tommy Robinson,
00:10:00.000 and maybe you could surprise me today.
00:10:01.000 Can you show me a single verse that says that?
00:10:03.000 Can I show you a single verse?
00:10:04.000 I don't care about your book.
00:10:05.000 I care about how people act now.
00:10:07.000 I care about what's going on
00:10:08.000 and know those ones today.
00:10:09.000 I care about the rape games that exist.
00:10:10.000 I care about the terrorist attacks that happened.
00:10:12.000 I don't give a damn about what it says in your book.
00:10:14.000 I've seen verses for sure,
00:10:16.000 but I give a damn about how people are acting right now.
00:10:18.000 I know there are areas that I walk into
00:10:20.000 and people tell me cover your hair
00:10:22.000 because you're in danger,
00:10:23.000 but the police have laughed and said,
00:10:25.000 you have a death wish
00:10:26.000 because I've walked into certain areas.
00:10:27.000 In Luton the other day,
00:10:28.000 we were there with Tommy
00:10:29.000 and the police said,
00:10:30.000 I know you're going to get hurt
00:10:32.000 if you stay here any longer.
00:10:33.000 Okay.
00:10:34.000 And the reason that is happening
00:10:36.000 is because you guys have decided Muslims,
00:10:38.000 not every single one,
00:10:39.000 but most of the Muslims within the UK and Europe now
00:10:43.000 have decided they want to bring their culture
00:10:46.000 and how they view free speech or blasphemy laws
00:10:49.000 and they want to impose it on this nation.
00:10:52.000 I think you should be able to have your Muslim culture
00:10:54.000 and your Muslim religion in your own country.
00:10:56.000 Don't bring it to a Christian nation that has our own laws,
00:10:59.000 our own values, our own free speech.
00:11:01.000 Okay.
00:11:02.000 Firstly, you said,
00:11:03.000 I asked you for a simple verse.
00:11:04.000 I said, you claim something, yeah?
00:11:06.000 Yes.
00:11:07.000 And no offense to you,
00:11:08.000 but they say the highest form of ignorance
00:11:09.000 is talking about something
00:11:10.000 that you don't know nothing about.
00:11:11.000 So when you come and say to me,
00:11:12.000 yes, I believe what Tommy believes.
00:11:14.000 And I say to you kindly, Lauren,
00:11:15.000 can you bring me a single verse?
00:11:16.000 Sure.
00:11:17.000 I'll do it right now.
00:11:18.000 So you said, yeah, please do it.
00:11:19.000 So you come and say,
00:11:20.000 Ali, I don't need to bring a single verse.
00:11:22.000 And to be honest,
00:11:23.000 once again,
00:11:24.000 I don't want this to turn bitter
00:11:25.000 and I don't mean offense to you,
00:11:26.000 but the fact that now you're going to Google
00:11:28.000 shows your ignorance higher because-
00:11:30.000 Sorry, I don't memorize every verse.
00:11:31.000 No, no, you don't need to memorize.
00:11:32.000 It's just like the fact that you have to go to Google
00:11:35.000 to find it,
00:11:36.000 or wherever you're going,
00:11:37.000 to find a specific verse,
00:11:38.000 which you can,
00:11:39.000 because you know why?
00:11:40.000 This is the reason why I went to Tom Robinson
00:11:41.000 because all the verses talking about
00:11:42.000 are that I sent to them
00:11:44.000 and there's content.
00:11:45.000 And like you said,
00:11:46.000 we're not here.
00:11:47.000 Lauren, I'm not here to come and say to you,
00:11:48.000 Lauren, we have come to take over.
00:11:50.000 The Khalifa is going to be here.
00:11:51.000 We're taking the Sharia's coming.
00:11:52.000 Soon you're going to wear a niqab.
00:11:53.000 I'm, look, live your life.
00:11:55.000 Look, look, I'm here.
00:11:56.000 I've come to this land, yeah?
00:11:57.000 If you wanted a memorization contest,
00:11:59.000 then we could have done that.
00:12:00.000 I'm not doing a memorization contest.
00:12:01.000 You ask me for a verse,
00:12:02.000 I can get you a verse.
00:12:03.000 It shouldn't matter if I'm going to Google.
00:12:04.000 It shouldn't matter.
00:12:05.000 It's the fact that it exists.
00:12:07.000 It's totally fine, Lauren.
00:12:08.000 You can go to this.
00:12:09.000 All I'm just saying is,
00:12:10.000 is that if I'm going to talk about Christianity
00:12:12.000 or something,
00:12:13.000 I need to say, you know what?
00:12:14.000 Have I been fair?
00:12:15.000 Yes.
00:12:16.000 Am I here to have an agenda?
00:12:17.000 Look at that.
00:12:18.000 Anyways.
00:12:19.000 The wind.
00:12:20.000 Hate speech from the wind.
00:12:22.000 Yeah.
00:12:23.000 Just take that down.
00:12:24.000 Sorry.
00:12:25.000 Sorry.
00:12:26.000 Yeah.
00:12:27.000 So basically,
00:12:28.000 yeah,
00:12:29.000 so we're not here to come here
00:12:30.000 and take over and say,
00:12:31.000 look, we've come to this land, yeah?
00:12:32.000 Like you said, yeah?
00:12:33.000 We've come to this land.
00:12:34.000 When we come to this land,
00:12:36.000 it is cast as treachery for me
00:12:39.000 to conspire against this country
00:12:41.000 and say,
00:12:42.000 I'm going to take matters into my own hands
00:12:43.000 and run people over.
00:12:44.000 Why?
00:12:45.000 Because Tony Blair-
00:12:46.000 We're not talking about just running people over.
00:12:47.000 No, no, no.
00:12:48.000 We're talking about the cultural influence.
00:12:49.000 No, no, no.
00:12:50.000 What do you mean by culture?
00:12:51.000 Grooming gangs, yeah?
00:12:52.000 I've said this before
00:12:53.000 and I'll say it again, yeah?
00:12:54.000 Grooming gangs.
00:12:55.000 Let's look at these individuals, yeah?
00:12:56.000 Has any of them come and said,
00:12:58.000 I groom these girls
00:13:00.000 because my religion tells me
00:13:02.000 that they're kufar
00:13:03.000 and they're filthy
00:13:04.000 and I need to do this.
00:13:05.000 No.
00:13:06.000 They drink alcohol.
00:13:07.000 Not permissible in this town.
00:13:08.000 They go clubbing.
00:13:09.000 Not permissible in this town.
00:13:10.000 You're raping girls.
00:13:11.000 Not permissible in this town.
00:13:12.000 You know what I'm telling you
00:13:13.000 something really profound?
00:13:14.000 You...
00:13:15.000 Look, imagine this, yeah?
00:13:16.000 I'm not even allowed to shake your hand.
00:13:18.000 And we are here being accused of grooming gangs
00:13:21.000 when I can't even touch your hand.
00:13:23.000 This is a problem that is prevalent
00:13:25.000 within Muslim cultures
00:13:27.000 and Muslim communities.
00:13:28.000 And you may be different
00:13:29.000 than many of them.
00:13:30.000 You may be, but it is prevalent.
00:13:31.000 And we all know this.
00:13:32.000 We all know this.
00:13:33.000 That it is prevalent
00:13:34.000 within these communities.
00:13:35.000 And that a lot of it goes overlooked.
00:13:36.000 And when Tommy goes to the court cases
00:13:38.000 of these Muslim grooming gangs,
00:13:39.000 it's their families out there
00:13:41.000 that are screaming,
00:13:42.000 they're innocent,
00:13:43.000 they're innocent, they're innocent.
00:13:44.000 They say that a moderate
00:13:45.000 is the one who...
00:13:46.000 Muslim families.
00:13:47.000 Sorry?
00:13:48.000 The families of these rape gang members.
00:13:49.000 Yeah.
00:13:50.000 And people say all the time
00:13:51.000 that the moderate is the one
00:13:52.000 who will sit and watch
00:13:53.000 as the extremist kills you.
00:13:54.000 Of course that would.
00:13:55.000 To be honest,
00:13:56.000 if you're silenced on a matter,
00:13:57.000 you might as well...
00:13:58.000 You might...
00:13:59.000 You're part of it.
00:14:00.000 You get what I'm trying to say?
00:14:01.000 So that's why, for example,
00:14:02.000 anyone that's...
00:14:03.000 If I see somebody getting killed
00:14:04.000 and I watch it,
00:14:05.000 and I'm going,
00:14:06.000 I'm guilty.
00:14:07.000 Why can I not step in?
00:14:08.000 If you see evil,
00:14:09.000 try to stop it with your hand.
00:14:10.000 If you cannot stop it with your hand,
00:14:11.000 stop it with your heart.
00:14:12.000 I mean,
00:14:13.000 with your tongue.
00:14:14.000 And if you cannot speak out against it,
00:14:15.000 at least eat it in your heart.
00:14:16.000 Yeah?
00:14:17.000 So now,
00:14:18.000 these grooming gangs,
00:14:19.000 they're going doing this.
00:14:20.000 I have zero problem
00:14:21.000 with Tommy Robbins
00:14:22.000 going after terrorists
00:14:23.000 and grooming gangs.
00:14:24.000 The issue is,
00:14:25.000 why is it for some reason
00:14:26.000 when they are Muslim,
00:14:27.000 you love it?
00:14:28.000 I'm saying,
00:14:29.000 why don't you go after...
00:14:30.000 He doesn't love it.
00:14:31.000 Do you think he loves it?
00:14:32.000 He hates it more than anything.
00:14:33.000 No, no, no, no.
00:14:34.000 Let me tell you something.
00:14:35.000 Look,
00:14:36.000 I'm saying,
00:14:37.000 why don't we go after both terrorists,
00:14:38.000 be it Muslim or non-Muslim?
00:14:39.000 Grooming gangs,
00:14:40.000 be it non-Muslim or non-Muslim?
00:14:41.000 Peter Fowler raping little girls,
00:14:42.000 be it Muslim or non-Muslim?
00:14:43.000 The reason Tommy has to talk about...
00:14:44.000 I'm just saying,
00:14:45.000 look,
00:14:46.000 I'm not saying what he's doing is wrong.
00:14:47.000 I'm saying,
00:14:48.000 why?
00:14:49.000 Muslim.
00:14:50.000 This is what confuses me.
00:14:51.000 Why did the Jews end up getting killed?
00:14:53.000 Let me tell you.
00:14:54.000 You know what happened?
00:14:55.000 Hate speech.
00:14:56.000 Because it all started off with...
00:14:57.000 Let me tell you...
00:14:58.000 Hate speech.
00:14:59.000 Hate speech.
00:15:00.000 It doesn't work out.
00:15:02.000 It happens gradually.
00:15:03.000 Do you think you hit that team and say,
00:15:04.000 you know,
00:15:05.000 we're going to gather all the Jews together
00:15:06.000 and execute them?
00:15:07.000 No one's going to do it.
00:15:08.000 They vilified them slowly.
00:15:09.000 They put posters up.
00:15:10.000 They made them look like
00:15:11.000 these big noses
00:15:12.000 and these evil looking creatures
00:15:13.000 and they start putting tags on them.
00:15:15.000 These are the Jews.
00:15:16.000 So what happened is,
00:15:17.000 eventually,
00:15:18.000 they will vilify to a point,
00:15:19.000 when it came to the point of execute,
00:15:20.000 people ready to do it.
00:15:21.000 This is why hate speech is so dangerous.
00:15:23.000 You can say plenty of that.
00:15:25.000 I can say the mosque that you guys have
00:15:28.000 right outside of Whitechapel
00:15:30.000 that says men only in this entrance
00:15:32.000 is hate speech.
00:15:33.000 You better get rid of the mosque.
00:15:34.000 Why is that hate speech?
00:15:35.000 Because that's very...
00:15:36.000 That's unequal to women.
00:15:37.000 The fact that you won't shake my hand.
00:15:39.000 It's unequal.
00:15:40.000 Feminists would be irate.
00:15:41.000 They'd be running around naked
00:15:42.000 saying that's...
00:15:43.000 I'm sure you don't like feminists here.
00:15:44.000 You don't like feminists here.
00:15:45.000 No, I don't.
00:15:46.000 My point is that they can be...
00:15:47.000 This can be used in any context.
00:15:49.000 And the reason that hate speech is dangerous
00:15:51.000 is because who defines what is hate speech.
00:15:53.000 It's criticizing Islam hate speech.
00:15:55.000 Some people think so.
00:15:56.000 Some people think so though.
00:15:57.000 And that's the reason
00:15:58.000 Tommy has to talk about this a lot.
00:15:59.000 No, no, no, no.
00:16:00.000 Because the mainstream media
00:16:01.000 doesn't criticize Islam.
00:16:02.000 They're afraid to
00:16:03.000 because they're afraid of the repercussions.
00:16:05.000 They're afraid of the Charlie Hebdos
00:16:07.000 that are going to happen.
00:16:08.000 They're afraid of being attacked.
00:16:10.000 They're afraid of being arrested.
00:16:11.000 This has gotten to a point
00:16:13.000 where it's so restrictive
00:16:14.000 that you can't make jokes about Islam.
00:16:16.000 So that's where I have a problem with you.
00:16:17.000 It's who defines hate speech.
00:16:19.000 I would say any religion.
00:16:20.000 For example,
00:16:21.000 if you want to criticize my religion,
00:16:22.000 this is the reason why we do Dawah.
00:16:23.000 Dawah is inviting people to Islam.
00:16:24.000 Why do we do it?
00:16:25.000 Because we are out here seeing...
00:16:27.000 Ask us about our religion.
00:16:28.000 Criticizing.
00:16:29.000 Why does this say that?
00:16:30.000 Why do women have to wear hijab?
00:16:32.000 Why do women...
00:16:33.000 I'm saying...
00:16:34.000 Ask us.
00:16:35.000 But when you come and say,
00:16:36.000 you are this,
00:16:37.000 and you are that,
00:16:38.000 why are you putting your names wrong?
00:16:39.000 Ask me about my religion.
00:16:40.000 Why are you insulting me?
00:16:41.000 So when it comes to...
00:16:42.000 You said, for example,
00:16:43.000 is it hate speech
00:16:44.000 when it says men entrance,
00:16:45.000 women entrance?
00:16:46.000 So are you telling me
00:16:47.000 when you go to the toilet
00:16:48.000 and it says men's only,
00:16:49.000 are you going to come and say,
00:16:50.000 you know what?
00:16:51.000 Look at this.
00:16:52.000 It's ridiculous.
00:16:53.000 Why is it when you do sports...
00:16:54.000 I'm not going to say that,
00:16:55.000 but some people do.
00:16:56.000 Right now they're getting rid of
00:16:57.000 some of the men's and women's washrooms.
00:16:58.000 I'm saying it's who defines hate speech
00:16:59.000 that matters.
00:17:00.000 No, no, no.
00:17:01.000 Getting rid of them.
00:17:02.000 Look, look.
00:17:03.000 Me and you go into boxing.
00:17:05.000 If I say, you know what, Lauren?
00:17:06.000 Look, it's equality.
00:17:07.000 Equality is not justice.
00:17:08.000 If I say, okay,
00:17:09.000 let's have a boxing match.
00:17:10.000 It's not fair.
00:17:11.000 We're in different powers.
00:17:12.000 I don't know.
00:17:13.000 Maybe you might be stronger than me.
00:17:14.000 You never know, yeah?
00:17:15.000 I'm just saying that
00:17:16.000 we are created differently.
00:17:17.000 I agree.
00:17:18.000 So I'm sure you're against feminists as well, yeah?
00:17:19.000 Yes.
00:17:20.000 Yes, exactly.
00:17:21.000 So we're in the same chapter.
00:17:22.000 So we have something in common.
00:17:23.000 Because Allah says to us in the Quran,
00:17:24.000 you're a Christian.
00:17:25.000 Yes.
00:17:26.000 You're the people of the book, yeah?
00:17:27.000 Allah says to us in the Quran,
00:17:28.000 talk to the people of the book
00:17:29.000 with wisdom and kind words
00:17:30.000 and come to a common term.
00:17:31.000 So what I'm saying is, Lauren,
00:17:32.000 believe me,
00:17:33.000 I genuinely believe
00:17:35.000 you have this perception about us
00:17:37.000 and maybe you watch some certain things,
00:17:39.000 but I genuinely believe,
00:17:40.000 since you're talking to me,
00:17:41.000 I think it changes a lot of perspective
00:17:42.000 about how you think about Islam.
00:17:43.000 You know why?
00:17:44.000 I think about you differently
00:17:45.000 as an individual
00:17:46.000 because you are an outsider.
00:17:47.000 You are an outlier from the average.
00:17:48.000 I'm a Muslim.
00:17:49.000 I follow Islam.
00:17:50.000 I've said this to Tommy, yeah?
00:17:51.000 I'm an Orthodox Muslim.
00:17:52.000 I don't sugarcoat my religion.
00:17:53.000 I don't want to say,
00:17:54.000 hey, you know that verse,
00:17:55.000 it actually meant,
00:17:56.000 look, this is,
00:17:57.000 I'm an Orthodox Muslim.
00:17:58.000 This is how we are.
00:17:59.000 I hate to kill you.
00:18:00.000 I respect you as a woman.
00:18:01.000 If I saw anybody harassing you down the road,
00:18:03.000 I will be the first person to be there
00:18:05.000 and make sure that stops that.
00:18:06.000 That doesn't happen, yeah?
00:18:07.000 Wouldn't happen here.
00:18:08.000 No, no, no,
00:18:09.000 wherever.
00:18:10.000 No, I don't care.
00:18:11.000 Maybe at Speaker's Corner.
00:18:12.000 Yeah, there's a bit of a circus there.
00:18:14.000 What I'm saying is,
00:18:15.000 Lauren,
00:18:16.000 I have nothing against you as a person, yeah?
00:18:17.000 I genuinely believe
00:18:18.000 you're a lovely human being
00:18:19.000 who wants to do the right things,
00:18:20.000 but I believe your judgment is a bit clouded
00:18:22.000 because of the people
00:18:23.000 that you hang around with.
00:18:24.000 Let me ask you one question
00:18:26.000 because I'm sure you have things with you.
00:18:27.000 Yeah.
00:18:28.000 I think this is the most important question
00:18:29.000 of them all though.
00:18:30.000 Would you say that you are a Muslim first
00:18:32.000 or would you say you are British first?
00:18:34.000 I've said that to Tony before.
00:18:35.000 I'm a Muslim first and I'm a British.
00:18:36.000 And that's my problem with you ultimately.
00:18:37.000 No.
00:18:38.000 Why?
00:18:39.000 I think you're perfectly nice,
00:18:40.000 but that's my problem.
00:18:41.000 Why is that perfect?
00:18:42.000 Because I think that the Muslim community here
00:18:43.000 has a far higher allegiance to their in-group
00:18:46.000 than they do to overall European culture,
00:18:49.000 British culture,
00:18:50.000 the idea of the UK.
00:18:52.000 I think they have a far greater allegiance
00:18:54.000 to their own religion and their own values
00:18:56.000 and that is fundamentally going to be the split
00:18:59.000 that will happen forever.
00:19:00.000 Unfortunately,
00:19:01.000 I don't think there will ever be a time
00:19:02.000 that Islam and Western values will be compatible.
00:19:05.000 There will forever be segregated areas.
00:19:07.000 Of course, of course.
00:19:08.000 You need to understand something.
00:19:09.000 We're not going to be like...
00:19:10.000 If I said certain things to you
00:19:12.000 about the hijab,
00:19:13.000 we're not going to agree with it.
00:19:14.000 Neither am I going to agree with certain things you believe.
00:19:16.000 But this doesn't mean we depart our ways.
00:19:17.000 We have our common factors and we go with that.
00:19:19.000 So for example,
00:19:20.000 do we both agree that rape is wrong?
00:19:22.000 Yes.
00:19:23.000 Do we both agree that killing innocent people is wrong?
00:19:24.000 Yes.
00:19:25.000 Do we both agree that we should live in harmony?
00:19:27.000 No.
00:19:28.000 Do we both agree that we should live in harmony?
00:19:30.000 No.
00:19:31.000 Okay.
00:19:32.000 So that difference is now on your side
00:19:34.000 because I'm saying let's live in harmony.
00:19:35.000 You're saying let's live in harmony.
00:19:36.000 You're saying no.
00:19:37.000 So I'm going to say...
00:19:38.000 I'm saying we shouldn't be tolerant of...
00:19:39.000 I don't believe tolerance is a virtue.
00:19:40.000 I believe that tolerance is something...
00:19:43.000 We shouldn't be tolerant of intolerance.
00:19:45.000 And I think that there are aspects of your religion
00:19:47.000 that are completely incapable of mixing with Western values
00:19:52.000 and Western culture.
00:19:53.000 And you agreed with me on that.
00:19:54.000 But I'm mixing quite well.
00:19:55.000 I think I'm doing quite well in the UK.
00:19:56.000 I don't see anybody coming and saying to me...
00:19:58.000 You know what Ali?
00:19:59.000 The way you do that is not right.
00:20:00.000 Like you don't see me coming and saying...
00:20:01.000 If I was to do something like, you know, we believe in no Sharia.
00:20:04.000 This is a no gold zone area.
00:20:05.000 You're going to say, look, you're coming to my country.
00:20:07.000 And now you're setting up these areas that I can't come into.
00:20:10.000 And if this was from Islam, I would say, yeah, it's not from Islam.
00:20:12.000 So if this is not from Islam, now you're conflating a group of maniacs to Islam.
00:20:16.000 You can't do something as simple as shake my hand when we say hello.
00:20:19.000 Why do I need to?
00:20:20.000 That is something that is standard within culture here.
00:20:23.000 Now, I'm just saying.
00:20:24.000 That's one example.
00:20:25.000 There's plenty more.
00:20:26.000 What I don't want to see and what I believe is inevitable
00:20:28.000 if we keep going down the route we're going,
00:20:30.000 is a Muslim majority within the UK.
00:20:33.000 Where soon the slight differences that we have,
00:20:35.000 where we may disagree on rape, murder, other things,
00:20:37.000 at least you and I individually...
00:20:39.000 And that Islam doesn't seem to come too.
00:20:41.000 Right.
00:20:42.000 Where we may agree on those things,
00:20:44.000 once you have a Muslim majority in this country,
00:20:46.000 which I think is inevitable,
00:20:47.000 the whole culture of the UK will change.
00:20:50.000 I think we can both agree on that.
00:20:52.000 Okay.
00:20:53.000 Let's suppose that happens.
00:20:55.000 What is your solution?
00:20:56.000 Let's suppose, for example,
00:20:57.000 not that we're going to impose,
00:20:58.000 we're going to have our own way of lifestyle, for example,
00:21:00.000 that we live.
00:21:01.000 We're not going to come and say,
00:21:02.000 you be like this,
00:21:03.000 because we're living under the British rule.
00:21:04.000 Why wouldn't you?
00:21:05.000 When you're 51% of the population
00:21:06.000 and you can vote in your government,
00:21:07.000 why wouldn't you?
00:21:08.000 Well, to be honest,
00:21:09.000 then that's democracy, isn't it?
00:21:11.000 Exactly.
00:21:12.000 Exactly.
00:21:13.000 So, one second.
00:21:14.000 I'm saying,
00:21:15.000 if we come and say,
00:21:16.000 you know what?
00:21:17.000 We want this.
00:21:18.000 If we, for example,
00:21:19.000 come and want certain things,
00:21:21.000 then this is the democracy.
00:21:23.000 I'm saying,
00:21:24.000 when it comes to democracy,
00:21:25.000 I don't really believe in it.
00:21:26.000 I'm just saying you do.
00:21:27.000 So,
00:21:28.000 if a group of people,
00:21:29.000 for example,
00:21:30.000 you guys,
00:21:31.000 who conquered this land first?
00:21:33.000 You guys,
00:21:34.000 I'm not going to say you guys,
00:21:35.000 I'm going to say certain individuals did.
00:21:36.000 They came,
00:21:37.000 if you look at America,
00:21:38.000 this is what you,
00:21:39.000 I'm not going to say you,
00:21:40.000 forgive me if I'm saying you,
00:21:41.000 the group of people just came
00:21:42.000 and imposed their ideas.
00:21:43.000 It's the same thing happened.
00:21:44.000 So,
00:21:45.000 let's suppose,
00:21:46.000 if that happened,
00:21:47.000 what's going to change?
00:21:48.000 Do you think we're going to come
00:21:49.000 and start saying,
00:21:50.000 you will have your rights.
00:21:51.000 Like I said before,
00:21:52.000 Christian Jews and Muslims
00:21:53.000 live together.
00:21:54.000 The Jews can live their lifestyle.
00:21:55.000 The Christians drink alcohol,
00:21:56.000 drink alcohol,
00:21:57.000 no problem.
00:21:58.000 That's your lifestyle.
00:21:59.000 We're saying,
00:22:00.000 this is what we follow.
00:22:01.000 You want to follow that?
00:22:02.000 Yes, but what about when you're
00:22:03.000 the majority of the population?
00:22:04.000 It depends on how you all vote for,
00:22:05.000 that's fine,
00:22:06.000 you can have the Christians here,
00:22:08.000 the Jews here,
00:22:09.000 that's totally fine.
00:22:10.000 This is a misconception that you have here,
00:22:11.000 is when we,
00:22:12.000 when the Prophet Muhammad,
00:22:13.000 peace be upon him,
00:22:14.000 was in full power,
00:22:15.000 the Christians,
00:22:16.000 and look,
00:22:17.000 look at,
00:22:18.000 look at history.
00:22:19.000 There's,
00:22:20.000 I can't reference it off my head,
00:22:21.000 like I haven't memorized it as well.
00:22:22.000 There was a lot of Jews saying that,
00:22:23.000 when we lived under Islamic rule,
00:22:24.000 we were not being persecuted,
00:22:25.000 finally,
00:22:26.000 from the Christians.
00:22:27.000 We were living in harmony.
00:22:28.000 The Christians and the Jews
00:22:29.000 and the Muslims lived in harmony.
00:22:30.000 This is your area.
00:22:31.000 You want to live there?
00:22:32.000 You want to sell alcohol?
00:22:33.000 No problem.
00:22:34.000 They lived in harmony.
00:22:35.000 Look, do some research.
00:22:36.000 The only problem with what you're saying,
00:22:37.000 is you can say,
00:22:38.000 do some research,
00:22:39.000 and read about the past,
00:22:40.000 read about this,
00:22:41.000 which I have,
00:22:42.000 but I'm looking at today,
00:22:43.000 and how Islam is today,
00:22:44.000 and we can look at how Islamic countries
00:22:46.000 treat homosexuals in their nation.
00:22:48.000 We can see how that happens.
00:22:50.000 We can see how that goes down,
00:22:51.000 how it's illegal.
00:22:52.000 That happens in Jamaica.
00:22:53.000 That doesn't matter what happens in Jamaica,
00:22:54.000 it also happens in Islamic nations.
00:22:56.000 That's my point.
00:22:57.000 What I'm trying to say is,
00:22:58.000 look,
00:22:59.000 obeying the law of the land,
00:23:00.000 what that means is,
00:23:01.000 for example,
00:23:02.000 if a certain land has A, B, C, D, E, F,
00:23:04.000 you follow A, B, C, D, E, F.
00:23:05.000 If you don't like it,
00:23:06.000 bye-bye.
00:23:07.000 Now you'll say the same to me.
00:23:08.000 Absolutely.
00:23:09.000 This is our country,
00:23:10.000 okay,
00:23:11.000 if you are going to come and make no-goal zone areas,
00:23:14.000 and force us to wear the hijab,
00:23:15.000 bye-bye,
00:23:16.000 I'll say you have every bloody right,
00:23:17.000 I'll be right behind you.
00:23:18.000 I'll say, of course,
00:23:19.000 because this is your land.
00:23:20.000 And what about when Muslims are the majority?
00:23:23.000 Even if they're the majority,
00:23:24.000 I'm saying to you,
00:23:25.000 look,
00:23:26.000 at the time of the Prophet,
00:23:27.000 the Prophet had full military power.
00:23:28.000 He came and spread Islam in a peaceful manner,
00:23:30.000 not by the sword, yeah?
00:23:32.000 So when this happened,
00:23:33.000 the Prophet never came to the Jews and said,
00:23:35.000 except Islam,
00:23:36.000 we're going to cut your head off.
00:23:37.000 Christians, except Islam.
00:23:38.000 It didn't.
00:23:39.000 They lived in harmony.
00:23:40.000 They lived in harmony together.
00:23:41.000 No, no, no.
00:23:42.000 But would,
00:23:43.000 if Muslims were the majority in the UK,
00:23:44.000 would they create a government
00:23:45.000 that supported your Islamic boundaries?
00:23:47.000 I have no idea.
00:23:48.000 You have no idea?
00:23:49.000 You have no idea?
00:23:50.000 No idea at all.
00:23:51.000 You can't even take a guess?
00:23:52.000 No, no, no.
00:23:53.000 I can't take a guess,
00:23:54.000 because the thing is,
00:23:55.000 it's a hypothetical situation.
00:23:56.000 Is it?
00:23:57.000 Because I think we've seen this happen in history
00:23:58.000 time and time again.
00:23:59.000 No, no, no.
00:24:00.000 If we suppose,
00:24:01.000 if we were to do that,
00:24:02.000 we look at the Prophet,
00:24:03.000 peace be upon him, how we live,
00:24:04.000 he lives side by side with the Christians,
00:24:05.000 and the Jews, he actually lives...
00:24:06.000 But that's what you believe,
00:24:07.000 and you believe a very different thing
00:24:08.000 than a lot of Muslims act.
00:24:09.000 No, no.
00:24:10.000 This is Islam, Lauren.
00:24:11.000 No, okay.
00:24:12.000 Now, that's an individual.
00:24:13.000 There's a lot of people that look like you,
00:24:14.000 that do a lot of bad things,
00:24:19.000 but people like you...
00:24:20.000 But they identify as Muslim.
00:24:21.000 Muslim is an ideology.
00:24:22.000 No, no, no.
00:24:23.000 One second.
00:24:24.000 Just because someone identifies
00:24:25.000 themselves with something,
00:24:26.000 if my religion doesn't teach that,
00:24:28.000 it's like me driving my car
00:24:29.000 and crashing it,
00:24:30.000 and kicking my car.
00:24:31.000 Oh, it's your fault I crashed.
00:24:32.000 I'm the one who's driving it.
00:24:34.000 Does the car say,
00:24:35.000 go and run people over?
00:24:36.000 No.
00:24:37.000 We don't blame the car.
00:24:38.000 We blame the individual.
00:24:39.000 So, how is it fair for you
00:24:40.000 to come and say,
00:24:41.000 Muslims do this and this,
00:24:42.000 therefore Islam is at fault?
00:24:44.000 That's like...
00:24:45.000 Well, if I were you right now,
00:24:46.000 if I were you,
00:24:47.000 I would be spending far less time,
00:24:48.000 asking to debate me on Twitter,
00:24:50.000 far less time...
00:24:51.000 I don't want to debate you.
00:24:52.000 I don't want to debate you.
00:24:53.000 No, no.
00:24:54.000 No, no.
00:24:55.000 No, no.
00:24:56.000 I would be spending far less time on them,
00:24:57.000 and far more time
00:24:58.000 on all of the quote-unquote
00:24:59.000 fake Muslims that you say.
00:25:01.000 No, I won't say fake Muslims,
00:25:02.000 I'll say bad Muslims.
00:25:03.000 Bad Muslims.
00:25:04.000 Alright.
00:25:05.000 So, okay,
00:25:06.000 so we're on the same page.
00:25:07.000 No, no.
00:25:08.000 Of course they're Muslims.
00:25:09.000 I've never said they're not Muslim.
00:25:10.000 Just look,
00:25:11.000 if I saw someone that looks like you,
00:25:12.000 who came and started kicking this baby
00:25:13.000 on the floor,
00:25:14.000 I know, for example,
00:25:15.000 she's British.
00:25:16.000 People say you're not British,
00:25:17.000 but just because you're British
00:25:18.000 doesn't mean you're like Lauren.
00:25:19.000 Lauren won't do that,
00:25:20.000 but you are.
00:25:21.000 You're a maniac.
00:25:22.000 You're an individual person.
00:25:23.000 These individuals,
00:25:24.000 look, there's 1.8 billion Muslims.
00:25:26.000 Do the math.
00:25:27.000 Seriously, calculate.
00:25:28.000 Even mathematics is against this.
00:25:29.000 Look at the statistics
00:25:30.000 of how many terrorists there are.
00:25:31.000 Let's just cover them all together.
00:25:32.000 0.001.9%.
00:25:34.000 How could you get that mathematically
00:25:35.000 and say,
00:25:36.000 it's getting a box of apples,
00:25:38.000 one bad apple,
00:25:39.000 throw the whole thing in the bin.
00:25:41.000 Where's the logic in that?
00:25:42.000 The logic is that,
00:25:43.000 while not all Muslims are terrorists,
00:25:45.000 and we all recognize this,
00:25:47.000 most terrorists tend to be Muslims.
00:25:49.000 There's certainly a disproportionate problem
00:25:51.000 within this region.
00:25:52.000 And you look at something like
00:25:53.000 the terrorists that were in Molenbeek,
00:25:55.000 where they just walked around the community,
00:25:57.000 they lived there,
00:25:58.000 and there were so many people
00:25:59.000 that just ignored it
00:26:01.000 and saw it as fine.
00:26:02.000 They didn't report them.
00:26:03.000 That's the thing.
00:26:04.000 Well, there may be only a few people
00:26:06.000 who will do radical acts like that.
00:26:07.000 The rest will turn their way.
00:26:09.000 They'll turn their way,
00:26:10.000 and they'll say that's fine.
00:26:11.000 What do you define as terrorism?
00:26:12.000 What do I define as terrorism?
00:26:13.000 A politically motivated act
00:26:15.000 used to inflict fear.
00:26:17.000 Into? Innocent?
00:26:18.000 To innocent people, of course.
00:26:19.000 Okay.
00:26:20.000 So therefore, if we go by that,
00:26:21.000 does that mean, for example,
00:26:23.000 those...
00:26:24.000 I'm talking about state terror.
00:26:27.000 Yeah? Okay.
00:26:28.000 So does that mean, for example,
00:26:29.000 there was a study done by...
00:26:31.000 No, study.
00:26:32.000 U.S. generals who said that
00:26:33.000 the drones that we are bombing,
00:26:35.000 Pakistan and Yemen,
00:26:37.000 we are actually producing more terrorists
00:26:39.000 than we're killing on the floor.
00:26:40.000 Because what's happened is,
00:26:41.000 you're bombing innocent people,
00:26:43.000 and they're building this hatred.
00:26:44.000 And these idiots are thinking,
00:26:46.000 they're bombing us,
00:26:47.000 we'll go and do the same back to them.
00:26:48.000 So when you look at terrorism,
00:26:50.000 show me, show me,
00:26:51.000 2 million people nearly killed in Iraq
00:26:53.000 and Afghanistan alone.
00:26:54.000 I was against the war.
00:26:56.000 Okay, I know, I know, I know.
00:26:57.000 But what I'm trying to say is,
00:26:58.000 this is what breeds terrorism.
00:26:59.000 When you go to these countries
00:27:01.000 and blow them up,
00:27:02.000 and the ones who did the 9-11,
00:27:03.000 yeah?
00:27:04.000 They were Saudi national.
00:27:05.000 What the hell is it going to do with Iraq?
00:27:07.000 So I'm saying,
00:27:08.000 when you look at state terrorism,
00:27:09.000 if you're going to go by that definition,
00:27:11.000 then believe me,
00:27:12.000 USA is the biggest terrorist.
00:27:14.000 Like, I'm talking about the government,
00:27:15.000 I'm talking about the government.
00:27:16.000 I'm not talking about individuals.
00:27:17.000 They're innocent, yeah?
00:27:18.000 Because if you're going to go by
00:27:19.000 killing innocent people,
00:27:20.000 then look at this.
00:27:21.000 Look at Mao Zedong.
00:27:22.000 He killed 50 million people.
00:27:23.000 Are you going to say,
00:27:24.000 well, I was not for the wars,
00:27:25.000 and I've been against the serious strikes,
00:27:27.000 I've been against all of it.
00:27:28.000 Wait, wait, wait.
00:27:29.000 I'm like terrorists.
00:27:30.000 Terrorists will walk with a bomb
00:27:31.000 strapped to their chest
00:27:32.000 into a concert full of children,
00:27:34.000 and you're going to compare them to people
00:27:35.000 who bomb a location that has weapons,
00:27:38.000 and in most cases,
00:27:39.000 they aren't aiming for children.
00:27:41.000 They aren't specifically going for children
00:27:43.000 as their heart is.
00:27:44.000 If you're sick to me,
00:27:45.000 just repeat it back to yourself.
00:27:46.000 One is going with a bomb
00:27:48.000 and blowing himself up.
00:27:50.000 One is in the sky
00:27:51.000 and he's throwing bombs to Lauren.
00:27:53.000 One is an explosive
00:27:55.000 that kills innocent people.
00:27:57.000 One is an explosive
00:27:58.000 that's going to kill
00:27:59.000 a bit more people, yeah?
00:28:00.000 They are both disgusting
00:28:01.000 and violent in my eyes.
00:28:02.000 I don't see them as both the same.
00:28:03.000 It's not aimed for civilian targets.
00:28:05.000 Okay, but this guy can come and say,
00:28:07.000 you know what?
00:28:08.000 They're different.
00:28:09.000 Yeah, but the guy who's blowing himself,
00:28:10.000 he will probably go and say something crazy up.
00:28:12.000 He's aiming at this guy
00:28:13.000 and they will just say,
00:28:14.000 it's disgusting.
00:28:15.000 No, they don't.
00:28:16.000 They say Allahu Akbar
00:28:17.000 and they say this is for Islam.
00:28:18.000 It doesn't mean nothing.
00:28:19.000 It doesn't make it halal.
00:28:20.000 If I have a bacon sandwich
00:28:21.000 and say Allahu Akbar,
00:28:22.000 it doesn't make it halal.
00:28:23.000 It does not make it permissible.
00:28:24.000 So the issue here is this,
00:28:25.000 that terrorism is terrorism,
00:28:26.000 be it Muslim or non-Muslim.
00:28:28.000 Darren Osborne ran over people, yeah?
00:28:30.000 Okay, and he was directly influenced
00:28:32.000 by Tommy Robinson and Britain first.
00:28:34.000 They checked his iPad.
00:28:35.000 He was searching them up
00:28:36.000 before the couple of days before.
00:28:37.000 And what about the words of the Quran,
00:28:38.000 since you asked me?
00:28:39.000 What about kill them?
00:28:40.000 Persecution is worse than slaughter.
00:28:41.000 Or when you meet unbelievers,
00:28:42.000 smite their necks.
00:28:43.000 What about these words?
00:28:44.000 That's Surah Baqarah,
00:28:45.000 verse 194, yeah?
00:28:48.000 That is clearly talking about the pagans.
00:28:50.000 If you read it here, it says...
00:28:51.000 The pagans?
00:28:52.000 Yes, the pagans.
00:28:53.000 Why does that make it any better?
00:28:54.000 No, no, no, you missed the point.
00:28:55.000 This is pagan Arabs
00:28:57.000 who are attacking the Prophet.
00:28:58.000 There's a context behind it.
00:28:59.000 That's why I was loving it.
00:29:01.000 You know what?
00:29:02.000 When I went to Tommy Robinson,
00:29:03.000 I said single words.
00:29:04.000 You know what?
00:29:05.000 I applaud you for at least bringing a verse, yeah?
00:29:06.000 This is what I wanted from Tom Robinson.
00:29:08.000 He was brought, anyways,
00:29:09.000 and he wrote a book, yeah?
00:29:10.000 Now that verse you're giving is,
00:29:11.000 we're talking about military, yeah?
00:29:12.000 When Japan was coming to attack USA, yeah?
00:29:16.000 United States or America
00:29:18.000 were not just going to fall towards them,
00:29:19.000 they're going to attack them.
00:29:20.000 And the general's going to say,
00:29:21.000 wherever you find the Japanese,
00:29:24.000 kill them.
00:29:25.000 You're not going to go and say,
00:29:26.000 wherever you find them,
00:29:27.000 give them a pat on the back.
00:29:28.000 You're going to kill them.
00:29:29.000 That context is actually,
00:29:30.000 you know what it says?
00:29:31.000 Fight them and kick them out
00:29:33.000 from where they kicked you out.
00:29:35.000 So here the context is,
00:29:36.000 you do what they have done to you.
00:29:39.000 But Allah says,
00:29:40.000 Allah does not love the ones who transgress.
00:29:41.000 Meaning,
00:29:42.000 do not go to boundaries
00:29:43.000 where you kill innocent men,
00:29:44.000 women and children.
00:29:45.000 So that's talking about a certain group
00:29:47.000 who is attacking the Prophet Muhammad.
00:29:48.000 And Allah says in that specific verse,
00:29:50.000 and kick them out from where they kicked you out.
00:29:53.000 So if I can say to you,
00:29:54.000 Lauren, slap her back the way she slapped you back.
00:29:57.000 Now, are you going to be a terrorist?
00:29:58.000 No.
00:29:59.000 This specifically says,
00:30:00.000 those who disbelieve.
00:30:01.000 No, no, no.
00:30:02.000 I will strike terror into the hearts
00:30:03.000 of those who have disbelief.
00:30:04.000 So strike them at their necks
00:30:05.000 and cut off their fingers.
00:30:06.000 Yes, but...
00:30:07.000 You're talking about disbelievers?
00:30:08.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:30:09.000 It's talking about those pagans.
00:30:10.000 They refer to that.
00:30:11.000 For example,
00:30:12.000 when America gives an order,
00:30:13.000 killed the Japanese,
00:30:14.000 is it talking about the innocent Japanese?
00:30:16.000 Or is it talking about the Japanese
00:30:17.000 that are attacking you?
00:30:18.000 See the difference?
00:30:19.000 So therefore,
00:30:20.000 when it says disbeliever,
00:30:21.000 nowhere,
00:30:22.000 not a single scholar has said
00:30:23.000 that you are allowed
00:30:24.000 to kill innocent people.
00:30:25.000 Haram.
00:30:26.000 Nowhere.
00:30:27.000 That's why I clearly said
00:30:28.000 to Tommy Robinson,
00:30:29.000 she showed me one verse.
00:30:30.000 And you know what?
00:30:31.000 I don't blame you.
00:30:32.000 Because if you brought one verse,
00:30:33.000 he was going to get...
00:30:34.000 Here's the thing though, Lee.
00:30:35.000 This is what's important.
00:30:36.000 And there's many verses.
00:30:37.000 There are many people that will point
00:30:38.000 and they'll talk about this.
00:30:39.000 They'll say,
00:30:40.000 the Bible has many verses
00:30:41.000 that are violent.
00:30:42.000 And they'll say this
00:30:43.000 and they'll go back to the Old Testament.
00:30:44.000 What is the most important
00:30:46.000 is how these verses are brought
00:30:48.000 into the real world.
00:30:49.000 How these words are brought
00:30:50.000 into the real world.
00:30:51.000 And there is a clear difference
00:30:52.000 between how Christians interpret the Bible
00:30:55.000 in the Old Testament
00:30:56.000 and how Islam is interpreting
00:30:58.000 these verses today.
00:30:59.000 You can see how it's interpreted
00:31:00.000 in Islamic nations.
00:31:01.000 How women are treated.
00:31:02.000 How women who are raped are treated.
00:31:04.000 How they're stoned.
00:31:05.000 How gays are thrown off roofs
00:31:06.000 in Islamic nations.
00:31:07.000 We can see how this plays out
00:31:09.000 when Islam is the majority
00:31:11.000 of the culture in a nation.
00:31:13.000 What I would say is that
00:31:14.000 to be honest
00:31:15.000 when a lot of people
00:31:16.000 come and say that to me
00:31:17.000 I usually tell them
00:31:18.000 you need to stop watching paranormal activity.
00:31:19.000 The reason I say that
00:31:20.000 and I'm talking about you.
00:31:21.000 The reason I say that
00:31:22.000 is because
00:31:23.000 this is the problem.
00:31:24.000 When you open TV
00:31:25.000 and see this stuff
00:31:26.000 you're like oh my gosh.
00:31:27.000 How barbaric are they?
00:31:28.000 The rights women have in Islam.
00:31:30.000 You know sometimes
00:31:31.000 I think to myself
00:31:32.000 I wish I was born a woman.
00:31:34.000 Because the honour
00:31:35.000 the woman has in Islam
00:31:36.000 the prophet said
00:31:37.000 the rights a mother has
00:31:38.000 over the father
00:31:39.000 is three times.
00:31:40.000 The prophet said
00:31:41.000 if you have two daughters
00:31:42.000 and you look after them
00:31:43.000 and you take care of them
00:31:44.000 the gates of paradise
00:31:45.000 will be open for you.
00:31:46.000 They look like they have
00:31:47.000 plenty of rights
00:31:48.000 walking around
00:31:49.000 in the black sheets
00:31:50.000 and not being able
00:31:51.000 to walk with a man
00:31:52.000 without a man.
00:31:53.000 One second.
00:31:54.000 One second.
00:31:55.000 If you have a right
00:31:56.000 this is what I really
00:31:57.000 get confused about.
00:31:58.000 If a woman has a right
00:31:59.000 to walk in a miniskirt
00:32:01.000 or whatever
00:32:02.000 she has a right
00:32:03.000 you can do whatever you like.
00:32:04.000 Not in Islamic nations.
00:32:05.000 One second.
00:32:06.000 How is it
00:32:07.000 that a woman
00:32:08.000 who chooses to cover up
00:32:09.000 is sexually
00:32:10.000 you know
00:32:11.000 she's oppressed.
00:32:12.000 I believe a woman
00:32:14.000 who has to look a certain way
00:32:15.000 for a man
00:32:16.000 is more sexually oppressed
00:32:18.000 because she is
00:32:19.000 she's forced to feel uglier
00:32:21.000 and uglier
00:32:22.000 and you need to wear this makeup
00:32:23.000 and that makeup
00:32:24.000 and you need to look this way.
00:32:25.000 It's oppression.
00:32:26.000 It's like slavery.
00:32:27.000 This is mental gymnastics.
00:32:28.000 This is mental gymnastics.
00:32:29.000 I know I like doing gymnastics
00:32:30.000 sometimes yeah.
00:32:31.000 But what I'm trying to say
00:32:32.000 is I believe every woman
00:32:33.000 is beautiful in her own way.
00:32:34.000 She should not have to change
00:32:35.000 for a man.
00:32:36.000 And my lips have to look bigger
00:32:37.000 and my eyes have to look this way
00:32:38.000 and my backside have to be like this.
00:32:39.000 We're seeing
00:32:40.000 look
00:32:41.000 Islam says
00:32:42.000 as a woman
00:32:43.000 you're a human being.
00:32:44.000 You Lauren
00:32:45.000 are a human being.
00:32:46.000 You don't need to
00:32:47.000 get into that society
00:32:48.000 and this pressure
00:32:49.000 and make you feel like
00:32:50.000 I need to look this way
00:32:51.000 I need to look L'oreal
00:32:52.000 because I'm worth it.
00:32:53.000 And all this kind of stuff.
00:32:54.000 You're a human being.
00:32:55.000 I respect you.
00:32:56.000 So when I look at you
00:32:57.000 like for example
00:32:58.000 I'm not
00:32:59.000 the reason why that's there
00:33:00.000 is it's a modest here.
00:33:01.000 Now I'm not saying that
00:33:02.000 you should do it.
00:33:03.000 I'm just saying
00:33:04.000 why a Muslim woman wear it.
00:33:05.000 So when she has that on
00:33:06.000 as a human being
00:33:07.000 I can see her face.
00:33:08.000 I'll talk to you as a human being
00:33:09.000 and what I'm trying to say.
00:33:10.000 And I'm not saying
00:33:11.000 those who do not wear it
00:33:12.000 you should not.
00:33:13.000 But I'm saying there's a lot of men out there
00:33:14.000 and a lot of men
00:33:15.000 you know
00:33:16.000 they have this weird
00:33:17.000 way of thinking
00:33:18.000 men are men
00:33:19.000 as you know.
00:33:20.000 They tend to you know
00:33:21.000 look at women and use it like
00:33:22.000 okay she looks this way
00:33:23.000 and treat it like a sexual object.
00:33:25.000 Now that's
00:33:26.000 besides the whole point.
00:33:27.000 So a woman choosing to cover up
00:33:29.000 because she wants to
00:33:30.000 that's her choice.
00:33:31.000 If she wants to cover up
00:33:32.000 and she feels modest in that
00:33:33.000 I'm going to be okay with that.
00:33:34.000 I'm saying you know
00:33:35.000 but I don't want to.
00:33:36.000 It's your choice though
00:33:37.000 and I respect that.
00:33:38.000 But that's how you feel about it.
00:33:39.000 I'm talking about
00:33:40.000 when Islam is the majority in a nation
00:33:41.000 whether that becomes law
00:33:42.000 whether that becomes something that
00:33:44.000 she doesn't have a choice to do anymore
00:33:45.000 and that tends to be the case.
00:33:46.000 No no no no no no
00:33:47.000 I've told you before
00:33:48.000 the Christians, the Jews and the Muslims
00:33:49.000 lived in harmony together
00:33:50.000 they did.
00:33:51.000 They're certainly not now
00:33:52.000 and that's what matters.
00:33:53.000 I care about reality right now
00:33:54.000 what is going on
00:33:55.000 how the world is at the moment.
00:33:57.000 You can talk about
00:33:58.000 this whole Garden of Eden
00:33:59.000 that existed at one point
00:34:00.000 you can talk about
00:34:01.000 how it should be interpreted
00:34:02.000 and what a perfect world would look like.
00:34:03.000 and I talk to so many people
00:34:05.000 in the political realm
00:34:06.000 that discuss things like that
00:34:07.000 and I'm just no longer interested
00:34:09.000 in how people want the world to be
00:34:11.000 I'm interested in how it is
00:34:12.000 because that's
00:34:14.000 once we accept how the world is
00:34:16.000 then we can fix it
00:34:17.000 and right now
00:34:18.000 Islam has a problem
00:34:19.000 within Europe.
00:34:20.000 So can we
00:34:21.000 first from the stuff that we discussed
00:34:23.000 can we both agree that
00:34:24.000 we're against rape and terrorism
00:34:25.000 and all this kind of stuff
00:34:26.000 we're against that right?
00:34:27.000 Yes of course.
00:34:28.000 So we both agree that
00:34:29.000 we are both
00:34:30.000 we hate these women gangs
00:34:31.000 we hate this rape
00:34:32.000 and terrorism that's happening right?
00:34:33.000 Of course.
00:34:34.000 So we're both on the same page Lauren yeah?
00:34:35.000 That's what I wanted to tell you
00:34:36.000 that if you look into Islam more
00:34:38.000 and understand it more
00:34:39.000 we are not here for that.
00:34:40.000 We're just here
00:34:41.000 to live our lives peacefully
00:34:43.000 in harmony
00:34:44.000 with you guys.
00:34:45.000 Did I treat you bad today?
00:34:46.000 I think you speak for yourself
00:34:47.000 and not for everyone.
00:34:48.000 You did not treat me bad.
00:34:49.000 It was quite an enjoyable conversation.
00:34:50.000 Yeah yeah yeah.
00:34:51.000 You didn't realize that
00:34:52.000 have I treated you bad?
00:34:53.000 No you haven't.
00:34:54.000 Have I made you feel like?
00:34:55.000 You refused to shake my hand
00:34:56.000 which is a slight
00:34:57.000 British proper European culture
00:34:58.000 but
00:34:59.000 I have my culture
00:35:00.000 if I say to you
00:35:01.000 can you try to my toe?
00:35:02.000 Exactly.
00:35:03.000 So I respect you know how I do
00:35:04.000 but the thing is
00:35:05.000 you know I need to go back
00:35:06.000 because I've done that.
00:35:07.000 Of course.
00:35:08.000 It was really nice talking with you.
00:35:09.000 I'm sure I hope
00:35:10.000 I hope there's something
00:35:11.000 that I've planted a seed
00:35:12.000 where you can
00:35:13.000 I would genuinely want to
00:35:14.000 please read the Quran
00:35:15.000 with an open mind.
00:35:16.000 Just get to know us Muslims
00:35:17.000 with an open mind
00:35:18.000 even our discussion today
00:35:19.000 had an impact on you
00:35:20.000 and I hope it does
00:35:21.000 because it did have an impact on me.
00:35:22.000 I don't believe you're the same
00:35:23.000 as Tony Robbins.
00:35:24.000 I believe you're a lovely individual.
00:35:25.000 You don't have that.
00:35:26.000 And same with Lucy.
00:35:27.000 I've said this again
00:35:28.000 and I'll say it again.
00:35:29.000 You two are lovely people.
00:35:30.000 You've got enough to be with Tony Robbinson
00:35:31.000 and I believe he's a hate creature
00:35:32.000 who causes hate.
00:35:33.000 And I hope you guys
00:35:34.000 will really open your eyes to that.
00:35:35.000 I think Tommy's a lovely person
00:35:36.000 but I wish you the best of luck.
00:35:38.000 Thank you.
