00:00:00.000 And that you lost a role in the new Superman movie?
00:00:05.740 No, no, no, no, no.
00:00:07.080 Nothing to do with that.
00:00:08.540 Hollywood just decided to change the script.
00:00:10.980 And I'm sure Hollywood is not controlled by the Zionists. 1.00
00:00:13.300 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:00:17.520 One Ummah is a charity organization that operates on a 100% donation policy.
00:00:21.320 They do great works like providing clean water, food, aid, shelter, responding to natural disasters.
00:00:26.800 And they do this in many countries around the world.
00:00:28.440 You can share in the rewards of everything that they do and offer to the Ummah by subscribing to the ongoing Sadaqah Fund.
00:00:33.600 This charity has been around for over 10 years and I've personally known them for over 10 years.
00:00:37.180 I've personally worked with them for over 10 years and they're not paying me to do this.
00:00:40.500 Wallah, but this is a charity that I trust.
00:00:42.680 And I trust in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. 0.96
00:00:44.380 And I want you to benefit and get the most out of your charity.
00:00:48.460 So click on the link below and act now.
00:00:52.360 So, brothers and sisters, as you know, Bassem Yusuf,
00:00:54.380 who is somebody who has absolutely annihilated and shown the double standards and hypocrisy of the Western system 0.89
00:00:59.160 to Piers Morgan, the biased dog.
00:01:01.280 Yes, to many, many people, alhamdulillah.
00:01:03.620 And now, apparently, what we know that's come out recently
00:01:05.980 is that he was supposed to be casting for a Superman movie.
00:01:10.180 But, don't be surprised, don't be shocked at all.
00:01:12.520 For some odd reason, they cancelled him.
00:01:14.800 They changed the script.
00:01:16.740 Nothing to do with the stuff that he said.
00:01:19.080 Nothing to do with him being pro-Palestinian.
00:01:22.320 Nothing to do with him being a human being and saying, you know,
00:01:24.760 stop the genocide and the apartheid and the massacre 0.83
00:01:26.600 of the killing of men, women and children.
00:01:28.820 Innocent babies, 30,000 people.
00:01:31.340 No, no, no, no, no.
00:01:32.660 Nothing to do with that.
00:01:34.080 Hollywood just decided to change the script.
00:01:36.540 And I'm sure Hollywood is not controlled by the Zionists. 1.00
00:01:38.840 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:01:40.080 Oh, definitely, they're never in top positions, you know, Zionists. 1.00
00:01:44.200 You've been very outspoken on behalf of Palace and Humanity
00:01:46.660 and that you lost a role in the new Superman movie
00:01:52.300 and some other projects.
00:01:53.780 In the United States of America, you can talk about Joe Biden,
00:01:56.220 you can talk about Donald Trump,
00:01:57.740 but you cannot criticize a foreign government,
00:02:00.760 which is kind of, like, very sad, you know.
00:02:04.020 And then, because of that, I was catching the movie Superman,
00:02:07.840 and then they told me we changed the script.
00:02:10.080 After his peace, Morgan, and I want to assume good faith.
00:02:13.800 This is the thing that we need to dissect.
00:02:15.640 When I attack Israel and attack its policy, 0.60
00:02:18.900 I'm not attacking Jewish people.
00:02:20.200 They are not in those top positions calling the shots.
00:02:22.460 They don't lobby.
00:02:23.440 They don't have lobbies in place
00:02:24.540 which help influence Senate members
00:02:27.360 to make decisions pro-Israeli.
00:02:29.500 Oh, hell no.
00:02:30.540 They don't have control in these areas at all,
00:02:32.840 in the parliament.
00:02:33.440 Oh, no, no, no.
00:02:34.460 Here's a video clip of Brother Basim Yusuf
00:02:36.720 explaining the situation.
00:02:38.500 And even though he's assuming the best,
00:02:40.540 saying that, oh, maybe it's changed the script,
00:02:42.980 I'm not buying it,
00:02:43.880 and I know neither are you guys.
00:02:45.820 Here's a clip.
00:02:46.420 Guys, I'm here to address this Superman fiasco
00:02:48.200 once and for all,
00:02:49.420 because the internet twists facts,
00:02:50.760 words, and basically everything else.
00:02:51.860 First of all, I'm a huge fan of James Gunn.
00:02:53.380 Nothing but love and respect for this guy.
00:02:54.600 Now, here's what happened.
00:02:55.740 Last June, one day before the actor's strike,
00:02:57.360 I get an audition for a role in the new Superman movie.
00:03:00.340 I do the audition.
00:03:00.920 I send it in less than an hour.
00:03:01.720 I get a call from my agent.
00:03:02.880 He told me, James Gunn loved the tape,
00:03:04.140 and he wants to have a Zoom call with you.
00:03:05.520 I have a great call with James.
00:03:06.760 He tells me he likes to interview his actors,
00:03:08.200 so to make sure that everybody has good chemistry on set.
00:03:10.580 Everybody who works in the business
00:03:11.400 know that this is a great day.
00:03:12.400 You do an audition in one hour,
00:03:13.120 you get the call.
00:03:13.820 It's an amazing thing, right?
00:03:14.560 Me and my agents, we celebrate.
00:03:16.680 The universe is smiling for us.
00:03:17.700 And then months go by,
00:03:19.000 October 7th ago,
00:03:19.640 on the Piers Morgan show,
00:03:20.120 I do two interviews.
00:03:21.340 And then after the interview,
00:03:23.160 right after the strike ends,
00:03:24.500 we get a call from the studio,
00:03:25.480 said Basim is no longer with us
00:03:26.640 because the script has been changed.
00:03:28.340 Now, you see where I can see that
00:03:30.120 from my point of view,
00:03:31.120 the timing was bad,
00:03:31.780 even if it was a script change,
00:03:32.820 this looks very bad
00:03:33.860 because a lot of people lost also roles
00:03:34.860 because of their political stance.
00:03:35.760 Now, this happened in November.
00:03:36.960 I never spoke about it.
00:03:37.640 I was sad for three days,
00:03:38.560 and I put it behind me.
00:03:39.240 I didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
00:03:40.600 I went on the Chris Cuomo podcast.
00:03:41.860 By the way, you have to watch this episode.
00:03:42.800 It's great.
00:03:43.100 And by the way, Chris,
00:03:43.560 you're a wonderful person.
00:03:44.700 Often on camera, he's amazing. 1.00
00:03:45.900 And I think he can kick my ass 1.00
00:03:46.540 on a one-on-one basketball game. 1.00
00:03:47.620 And he's jacked.
00:03:48.120 Anyways, after we were done with the interview,
00:03:50.020 he asked me if I lost any opportunities
00:03:52.100 because of my position,
00:03:52.800 and I tell the story.
00:03:53.860 And then as I was telling the story,
00:03:54.960 I felt that there was a little bit
00:03:55.920 of a residual of anger and bitterness in me,
00:03:58.980 and I didn't like that.
00:03:59.820 So the next two days,
00:04:00.400 I go on BBC Hard Talk with Stephen Saccur
00:04:01.460 and, you know, with Allah and Sadak Salon,
00:04:03.140 and they asked me,
00:04:04.100 again, did I lose any opportunities?
00:04:05.000 And this time I tell the story,
00:04:05.820 but this time there was no anger,
00:04:06.580 there was no bitterness,
00:04:06.980 there was nothing.
00:04:07.880 And I tried to be as empathic as possible.
00:04:09.860 And you can watch the interviews,
00:04:10.700 and because the BBC Hard Talk
00:04:11.840 we're going to go on live in a couple of days,
00:04:13.740 and it's going to be the same storm all over again.
00:04:15.540 Please watch the interviews.
00:04:16.180 I really talked about it in a very calm way,
00:04:17.600 and I just wanted to look
00:04:19.260 and view it from the other side.
00:04:20.920 But as I said in the interview,
00:04:21.860 I do want to believe that there was no intention,
00:04:24.080 and I think it was an honest oversight.
00:04:25.560 And I hope I'm true,
00:04:26.260 and I hope there was nothing else but that, right?
00:04:28.100 And I haven't thought about it,
00:04:29.040 and I don't like to complain
00:04:29.960 or victimize myself or sulk.
00:04:31.240 I'm actually very grateful
00:04:31.900 for the character that I have,
00:04:32.620 and the life that I have,
00:04:33.400 to travel and to earn my living
00:04:34.340 by making people laugh
00:04:35.060 is the greatest gift ever.
00:04:36.300 Prophet Basim Yusuf,
00:04:36.980 if you can see what kind of a character he is,
00:04:38.180 what kind of a person he is,
00:04:39.540 for that matter,
00:04:40.400 that he is assuming the best.
00:04:42.300 The Prophet, peace be upon him,
00:04:43.120 said,
00:04:43.980 the believer is not bit from the same place to us.
00:04:46.440 So what we say is this,
00:04:47.220 brothers and sisters, yeah?
00:04:47.900 We do not buy it.
00:04:49.380 We do not buy it.
00:04:50.840 It is very clear and categorically
00:04:52.620 that the Western system,
00:04:54.380 not just from the political angle,
00:04:55.800 from all angles of freedom of speech
00:04:57.760 to everybody except Muslims, 0.98
00:04:59.540 yes,
00:05:00.760 whatever it is for that matter,
00:05:01.700 but even when it comes to the movie industry,
00:05:05.420 you dare,
00:05:06.840 you dare
00:05:07.940 to side with humanity
00:05:09.620 against people being massacred
00:05:11.620 and killed,
00:05:12.000 oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:05:13.740 Can you imagine,
00:05:14.660 we are living at a time
00:05:15.800 in the 21st century
00:05:16.860 with our uplifting morality
00:05:18.640 that when a group of people,
00:05:21.040 Muslims and non-Muslims for that matter, 1.00
00:05:23.200 who are hitting the streets,
00:05:24.340 going to the streets
00:05:25.060 and protesting
00:05:26.060 and people like Basim Yusuf
00:05:27.120 who are calling
00:05:27.940 the double standards and hypocrisy
00:05:29.240 of the Western world, 0.85
00:05:31.320 they are being categorized as what?
00:05:33.160 You are pro-
00:05:33.980 kh- 0.76
00:05:34.500 mass,
00:05:35.300 yeah?
00:05:35.760 Okay,
00:05:36.300 brothers and sisters,
00:05:37.080 as you can see, 0.97
00:05:38.480 the double standards and hypocrisy, 0.99
00:05:40.060 it's their face mask, 0.99
00:05:42.540 the mask has been dropped
00:05:43.980 from all of these individuals,
00:05:46.360 absolute, 1.00
00:05:47.300 utter hypocrites, 1.00
00:05:49.080 the Ukrainian war 1.00
00:05:49.920 to what's going on there.
00:05:51.160 You can see,
00:05:51.760 guys,
00:05:51.980 I've always said it
00:05:52.940 and I'll see it again,
00:05:54.120 like Mohammed Ijab said,
00:05:55.220 you know,
00:05:55.800 they are strategically consistent,
00:05:58.780 they are not morally consistent.
00:05:59.900 We as Muslims were blamed
00:06:01.700 for ISIS-carrying atrocities,
00:06:04.200 claiming to use our scripture.
00:06:06.420 Ironically now,
00:06:07.880 which is actually,
00:06:08.900 we were speaking out against it,
00:06:10.620 ironically now, 0.98
00:06:12.180 the Zionist dogs, 1.00
00:06:13.900 scums, 1.00
00:06:14.680 from the parliament, 0.99
00:06:16.000 top to bottom,
00:06:16.660 are all quoting
00:06:17.520 biblical scripture of Amalekites
00:06:19.060 and just to find what they're doing,
00:06:21.180 not only that,
00:06:22.060 they are showing
00:06:22.860 and enacting
00:06:24.440 in ethics of war
00:06:26.000 that they do not care about.
00:06:27.480 Men, women, and children,
00:06:28.120 there were rabbis,
00:06:29.380 these Zionist rabbis 1.00
00:06:30.340 coming out and saying,
00:06:31.040 yep,
00:06:31.380 you do not care about men,
00:06:32.320 women, and children. 0.99
00:06:33.080 You cannot make this up.
00:06:36.140 We want to thank Israel.
00:06:37.980 Thank you for showing
00:06:39.120 the whole world
00:06:40.160 because statistics show everywhere
00:06:42.200 that the whole world
00:06:43.680 is realising
00:06:45.000 and waking up
00:06:46.660 to the lies
00:06:48.420 that you've been propagating
00:06:49.360 and the media channels
00:06:50.500 that you guys control,
00:06:51.340 you Zionists. 0.97
00:06:52.240 And from top to bottom,
00:06:54.100 you think money's going to buy it?
00:06:55.520 It will never buy it.
00:06:56.540 And you will be exposed.
00:06:58.080 And a day will come 0.95
00:06:59.020 that the Muslims,
00:07:00.880 the Christians,
00:07:01.340 and the Jews
00:07:01.680 will live in peace
00:07:02.340 in Palestine.
00:07:03.600 And an end will come
00:07:04.720 to the apartheid state.
00:07:06.320 And may Allah allow us
00:07:07.420 to witness that day.
00:07:09.120 And inshallah,
00:07:10.300 us seeing that day,
00:07:11.300 before we die,
00:07:12.340 we will die in peace.
00:07:14.240 And may Allah allow that day 0.86
00:07:15.560 to come inshallah
00:07:16.260 where these Zionists, 0.97
00:07:18.140 nationalists,
00:07:19.820 atheists 1.00
00:07:21.000 will see this.
00:07:22.540 Inshallah.
00:07:23.500 Till next time,
00:07:23.980 brothers and sisters.
00:07:24.880 May Allah bless you guys inshallah.
00:07:25.940 And I want to salute
00:07:27.060 Brother Bassam Yusuf
00:07:27.980 for having good morale,
00:07:31.000 for having amazing character
00:07:33.500 that he even says,
00:07:35.000 you know what,
00:07:35.460 it was a change of script.
00:07:36.700 They did not change the script.
00:07:38.100 What did they do?
00:07:39.200 They tried to change the script,
00:07:41.220 but you are in the right place
00:07:42.520 of history.
00:07:43.240 Because the script of history,
00:07:44.540 which is written by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:07:45.760 the qadr of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala,
00:07:47.320 it is very clear.
00:07:48.380 And best believe,
00:07:50.000 like Allah says,
00:07:51.100 do not ever think
00:07:52.680 that Allah is unaware 1.00
00:07:54.080 of what the evildoers do.
00:07:57.080 He only delays them for a day
00:07:59.460 that their eyes will stare in horror.
00:08:02.400 And that day is surely going to come.
00:08:04.440 We do not need the ICJ.
00:08:05.980 The God's judgment
00:08:06.800 is going to be the just judgment.
00:08:08.760 And we are going to see that.
00:08:10.020 And to the far right dogs, 1.00
00:08:11.540 you utter hypocrite scums, 1.00
00:08:13.600 you double standards, 1.00
00:08:15.220 cowards. 1.00
00:08:15.620 That's what you guys are. 1.00
00:08:17.360 Till next time.
00:08:18.200 As-salamu alaykum.
00:08:19.140 Wa al-rahmat wa barakatuh. 0.69
