00:00:00.000 I've done the seven-day free trial of the Qur'ani app and it exceeded all my expectations.
00:00:04.520 Alhamdulillah, I was worried that it was an overrated product.
00:00:07.780 That's what he thought until he tried it.
00:00:09.380 Brothers and sisters, you can build a habit with the Qur'an by seven-day free trial.
00:00:13.500 Brothers and sisters, no credit card details required at all.
00:00:15.500 And you decide for yourself, is it overrated or is it underrated?
00:00:22.640 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:00:25.680 A tragic event has happened in Liverpool Hospital, a woman and children's hospital.
00:00:30.140 Now, can I really call it tragic? In what sense?
00:00:32.440 Well, if every individual who wants to harm innocent people ends up harming their self and their self only,
00:00:38.200 I don't know if I can call that a tragic event.
00:00:40.420 Now, his explosive device that Enzo, his name was Enzo, built, most likely if he's ended up in the hospital,
00:00:47.920 he was there to harm innocent children, babies, newborn babies.
00:00:52.100 And the explosive went out, went off, obviously on the wrong time, or should we say in the right time,
00:00:57.780 because we as Muslims believe in Qadr, predestiny.
00:01:00.240 But if you know what I'm trying to say, I'm doing a little, you know, a blow here.
00:01:02.940 You know, I think he did go off the right time and not the wrong time.
00:01:06.120 And thank God that the taxi driver was unharmed and is recovering.
00:01:12.160 It is crazy to think that an individual would go out there to a children's hospital where babies are born to detonate himself
00:01:20.800 or God knows what he had in mind.
00:01:22.360 Maybe he was going to go there and just leave this and walk off.
00:01:25.100 Now, what's very interesting is that the media jumped to straight away calling this terrorism,
00:01:28.880 which it was terrorism, not because it was an explosive device that went off.
00:01:31.420 But the thing is, as Muslims, we are used to this rhetoric where, you know,
00:01:35.700 as soon as the explosive device happens, Edward Said talks about this, you know, in his book,
00:01:40.800 when a specific explosion that happened in Oklahoma, if I'm not mistaken,
00:01:44.240 when they said this looks like a Middle Eastern Muslim attack.
00:01:48.940 And it's like, is there a specific attack that looks like it belongs to a certain religion
00:01:54.120 or a cultural background?
00:01:56.200 And they found out that that wasn't Muslim either.
00:01:58.600 And I think it was by fundamental Christians, if I'm not mistaken.
00:02:00.820 And here, this individual was brought up, I think he came to the country from Iraq or wherever it may be,
00:02:06.260 and converted to Christianity.
00:02:08.160 No one's really talking about that.
00:02:09.740 No one's really talking about it.
00:02:10.420 And even if they are, the mental illness has came in. 0.73
00:02:13.020 Well, thank God we Muslims are immune to mental illness.
00:02:15.420 You know, we never have mental illness.
00:02:17.140 It cannot be.
00:02:17.880 You know, the one who stabbed the MP, he could have not been mentally ill.
00:02:21.140 No, it's no way. 0.81
00:02:22.640 As Muslims, we are super immune.
00:02:24.320 We don't even need a jab or double jab or extra jab or super jab to be immune to mental illness.
00:02:28.820 We are 100% radicalized.
00:02:30.460 And they are in denial.
00:02:31.900 There are people making comments like, as if, you know what, we don't know how could this have happened.
00:02:38.040 Why could it not happen?
00:02:39.320 You know, as a Christian, can you not be radicalized?
00:02:41.360 I mean, if you look at history, the biggest people who have committed the biggest form of atrocities work the crusaders with the Christians. 1.00
00:02:47.000 If we look at them, they are number one.
00:02:49.080 And Islam is around number five or six. 0.98
00:02:51.000 It doesn't matter.
00:02:51.660 We're not measuring.
00:02:52.140 Death is death. 0.97
00:02:52.980 But the perpetrators here in history are Christianity. 0.62
00:02:55.820 Can it not be that he got radicalized by the Bible?
00:02:57.920 Because if he's not mentally ill, which can be plausible, that he read the books that, for example, 1 Samuel 15, verse 2 to 3, go to the Amalekites. 0.94
00:03:05.080 This is Jesus of the Old Testament, by the way, commanding Moses, go to the Amalekites and kill men, women, children, babies, you know, and donkeys. 0.99
00:03:13.940 But I'm not going to go there. 0.99
00:03:15.260 You know, I can go there.
00:03:16.600 The point I'm trying to make here is that people, when it comes to Islam, automatically blame Islam.
00:03:21.460 In Islam, it's forbidden to kill innocent people.
00:03:23.580 Nowhere in the text would ever tell you to attack innocent men, women, and children.
00:03:27.840 So the thing is here is that we could use that.
00:03:30.820 We could be doing the same game and making this a Christian issue because there's clear text in the Bible clearly calling for the death of innocent men, women, and children. 0.94
00:03:39.580 The point is this, that people have double standards and hypocrisy.
00:03:42.200 And now they're just trying to, even using his actual name.
00:03:45.120 He changed his name to Enzo.
00:03:46.680 Yes, he changed his name to Enzo.
00:03:47.820 And he was looked after by a, I think he's an archbishop or he's a priest, I don't really know, by this family.
00:03:55.400 And the interview went a bit like this.
00:03:57.860 And there's something they said there which caught my attention.
00:04:00.620 In the interview, they are saying that he was a lovely man.
00:04:03.520 A lovely man.
00:04:04.320 Last time I remember, Cage, who's an organization who, you know, deals with, you know, these kind of issues, the oppression that takes place towards Muslims, etc.
00:04:13.260 Remember they made a comment about the guy who joined ISIS.
00:04:15.520 I think his name was, oh John, I totally forgot, it just went out of my mind, that he was a lovely man.
00:04:20.620 You know, they were scrutinized and attacked.
00:04:22.660 How could you call him a lovely man?
00:04:24.280 You have this Christian couple who they looked after him in his house, calling him a lovely man.
00:04:29.140 It's okay.
00:04:29.780 Don't worry about it.
00:04:30.440 It's fine.
00:04:31.220 Also, are they going to be questioned, this couple?
00:04:33.760 Are they going to be questioned of maybe radicalizing him?
00:04:36.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:04:37.400 Sweet couple, let it be.
00:04:39.180 But if it's, if it was, if that was a Muslim family, you have to question their whole entire lineage. 0.86
00:04:45.760 Entire lineage.
00:04:46.800 These are the double standards that we are talking about here.
00:04:49.320 This man was a Christian. 0.97
00:04:51.060 Yes, he was mentally unwell. 0.98
00:04:52.960 I believe he was mentally unwell.
00:04:54.340 You know why?
00:04:55.340 Because he was.
00:04:56.620 I'm not going to make excuses.
00:04:58.080 I could easily twist the story, make it the other way. 0.94
00:05:00.480 When these attacks happen, it has to be a Muslim. 1.00
00:05:02.940 But why is it that Muslims are not mentioned?
00:05:04.680 For example, a Somalian young boy, 20 years old, saved the life of an elderly white lady
00:05:10.680 where she was being attacked by a non-Muslim guy.
00:05:13.680 He went there to defend her and he lost his life dying.
00:05:17.480 May Allah have mercy on him.
00:05:18.320 Because Allah says in the Quran, if one person saves his soul, it's as if he saved the whole of humanity.
00:05:21.840 Why can't we ascribe that to Muslims? 0.99
00:05:24.180 But no, Muslims only do bad stuff. 1.00
00:05:26.060 That is our point here. 0.98
00:05:27.080 And I want to say a heartfelt sorry for all the far right Islamophobe bigots
00:05:31.740 who are in tears, crying, you know, are so devastated that he was a Christian named Enzo.
00:05:38.700 And what's really sad is that they are probably, if innocent people died here,
00:05:43.320 they are more, they would have been more upset, like Tommy Robinson was.
00:05:47.160 They would be more upset at the fact that this man was not a Muslim.
00:05:51.200 Then the innocent people may have lost their lives. 0.99
00:05:54.220 And that is how sickening their minds are.
00:05:57.620 Till next time, and before I end, I will not be surprised if he left some kind of a letter 0.94
00:06:02.600 or some kind of a letter that is found that he reverted back to Islam
00:06:05.900 and he got recruited by ISIS.
00:06:09.480 These days ISIS are taking responsibility for everything, even my burnt toast. 0.97
00:06:13.640 Till next time.
