00:00:00.200 It wasn't the 52 people who were killed.
00:00:03.340 It wasn't the countless others who had their lives changed forever
00:00:06.600 because their family members were taken from them.
00:00:10.120 It was the hundreds of people that night
00:00:11.580 who couldn't make it home from nightclubs in Christchurch
00:00:13.920 because all the...
00:00:30.000 This journey, this road that I travel on
00:00:41.900 it all seems crazy over the years
00:00:44.820 I picked up thousands of tagalongs
00:00:47.080 inspired by my story
00:00:48.800 from a juvenile
00:00:50.060 where my clothes had holes in the...
00:00:52.400 and my afro was picky
00:00:53.820 to the 90s
00:00:55.360 Moschino and Versace
00:00:57.060 no laces in Arachis
00:00:59.120 new millennium
00:01:00.260 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh
00:01:02.440 brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:01:03.460 hope you guys are well inshallah
00:01:04.240 I'm about to go out
00:01:05.320 before I go out
00:01:05.880 I really found the need to make this video
00:01:08.460 last night I went to Smarter Jannah's house
00:01:10.440 to record the podcast
00:01:12.100 with brother Slim and Adam Saleh
00:01:13.560 which you can find out
00:01:14.420 and it was a very very interesting discussion
00:01:16.620 got a bit heated
00:01:17.680 but it's worth watching
00:01:19.080 it's going to be out tomorrow inshallah
00:01:19.980 on Storytree Profiled
00:01:20.900 the podcast of Slim and Adam
00:01:22.380 and it's going to be out on my channel as well inshallah
00:01:24.380 the reason I mention this
00:01:27.220 because when I was going to his house
00:01:28.160 I came across this video
00:01:29.200 that was sent to me
00:01:29.820 and it was going viral
00:01:30.620 of an Australian comedian
00:01:32.720 and this comedian
00:01:33.540 is basically making jokes
00:01:36.820 he's making jokes
00:01:37.660 about the 52 people
00:01:38.900 that were literally massacred
00:01:40.800 right
00:01:41.200 and his name is
00:01:43.260 on Twitter
00:01:43.800 Isaac Butterfield
00:01:44.720 I think that's what his name is
00:01:45.720 yeah
00:01:45.860 so it's quite popular in Australia
00:01:47.240 and in the morning I woke up
00:01:49.360 you know
00:01:49.520 we're going to watch the video together
00:01:51.300 and then in the morning
00:01:52.620 when I woke up
00:01:53.120 I saw a video of him
00:01:54.120 kind of explaining his side
00:01:56.620 like you know
00:01:57.060 look I'm a comedian
00:01:57.720 we make these kind of jokes
00:01:58.560 I make jokes about all kinds of stuff
00:02:00.500 etc
00:02:00.780 the thing that we need to discuss here
00:02:03.040 is this
00:02:03.320 the statements that he said
00:02:04.400 and if we think about it
00:02:06.460 how it connects with Orientalism
00:02:08.000 yeah
00:02:08.220 and the whole white man's burden
00:02:10.400 you know
00:02:10.860 of trying to save the other
00:02:12.640 you know
00:02:13.200 and we're going to talk about that as well inshallah
00:02:15.080 let's get straight into it
00:02:16.020 let's watch this video
00:02:16.640 and I want you guys reaction as well
00:02:18.200 and then we're going to dissect it
00:02:19.980 and go through it
00:02:20.740 and analyse
00:02:21.900 inshallah
00:02:22.400 let's get straight into the video
00:02:23.180 so this was the very video
00:02:24.780 Australian extremists stormed
00:02:26.120 this building
00:02:26.500 this mosque
00:02:27.120 this room
00:02:28.100 where people were saying their prayers
00:02:29.720 and going about their business
00:02:31.060 and for me
00:02:32.140 the saddest thing about that
00:02:34.340 it wasn't the 52 people who were killed
00:02:37.420 it wasn't the countless others
00:02:39.800 who had their lives changed forever
00:02:41.420 because their family members
00:02:42.660 were taken from them
00:02:43.640 it was the hundreds of people that night
00:02:46.400 who couldn't make it home
00:02:47.300 from nightclubs in Christchurch
00:02:48.740 because all the cabbies were dead
00:02:50.060 that's the video
00:03:05.420 that specific segment
00:03:06.600 now
00:03:07.220 I watched this video in the morning
00:03:09.320 and the video in the morning
00:03:10.280 what he's done is
00:03:11.120 he's talking about the cancelled culture
00:03:12.380 you know the cancelled culture 0.94
00:03:13.320 of everyone just gets cancelled etc
00:03:14.600 look I'll be honest with you
00:03:15.700 do I believe he should lose his job
00:03:17.940 because of that statement he made
00:03:19.100 not really
00:03:21.120 do I believe what he said
00:03:22.500 was absolutely disgusting 0.93
00:03:24.100 and vile 0.95
00:03:24.960 yes 0.99
00:03:25.700 does the Muslim population 0.99
00:03:28.280 the Muslims as a whole
00:03:29.540 or even if he was talking about the Jews
00:03:30.780 or etc
00:03:31.180 would they deserve an apology
00:03:33.040 yes
00:03:33.960 so the thing here is this
00:03:36.560 and I really want you guys
00:03:37.760 to send this video to him
00:03:38.540 because I really want him to understand that
00:03:39.640 because I was very emotional
00:03:40.420 I was upset
00:03:41.200 you know
00:03:41.960 and where he's coming from
00:03:43.700 he's saying this is my job
00:03:44.700 this is how I earn money
00:03:45.700 and I'm just a comedian
00:03:47.260 I don't mean what I say
00:03:48.660 and he's made that very clear
00:03:49.620 he's saying look
00:03:50.040 I don't mean what I say
00:03:51.200 I've joked about the 9-11 1.00
00:03:52.700 I've joked about the Holocaust 1.00
00:03:54.600 he claims that
00:03:55.460 I don't know
00:03:55.960 he says that
00:03:56.460 now really
00:03:58.340 if that was said about the Jews
00:03:59.860 if we were to say
00:04:01.060 you know what
00:04:01.420 6 million Jews died
00:04:02.820 yeah
00:04:03.260 and if you made a joke about
00:04:04.600 6 million Jews died
00:04:05.640 and you know what
00:04:06.760 the global economy
00:04:08.380 is going to crash
00:04:09.360 because all those bankers are dead
00:04:10.740 yeah
00:04:11.260 because some people say
00:04:12.220 you know
00:04:12.460 it is actually anti-Semitic
00:04:13.700 to claim
00:04:14.460 that the Jews are the bankers 1.00
00:04:15.780 under control of the world
00:04:16.400 if someone was to make a joke like that
00:04:17.820 let's be real
00:04:19.820 the Israeli
00:04:22.080 the Israeli
00:04:23.400 the lobby
00:04:24.380 the Israeli lobby
00:04:25.080 would absolutely demolish
00:04:26.920 and it would be in chaos
00:04:28.660 he would lose his job
00:04:29.520 he would never ever
00:04:30.580 be doing that
00:04:31.400 now
00:04:31.940 in his joke
00:04:32.720 I want to analyse his joke
00:04:33.760 because in his joke
00:04:34.500 it's very interesting
00:04:35.520 because Edward Said
00:04:37.320 talks about this
00:04:38.360 in his book
00:04:39.020 about Orientalism
00:04:40.600 yeah
00:04:40.840 and he talks about
00:04:42.240 his interview
00:04:42.780 and he's talking about
00:04:45.580 that
00:04:46.400 when the Oklahoma bombings
00:04:48.180 happened in America
00:04:48.820 the news reporters
00:04:50.180 and people
00:04:50.660 were coming and saying
00:04:51.300 this looks like
00:04:51.880 a Middle Eastern explosion 0.99
00:04:53.020 or you know
00:04:53.680 and I think 0.79
00:04:54.020 what the hell
00:04:54.640 does a Middle Eastern explosion 0.73
00:04:55.880 look like
00:04:56.360 what did you see
00:04:57.100 like a turban 0.99
00:04:57.900 on the floor
00:04:58.860 and his beard
00:04:59.680 what did you see
00:05:00.680 what do you mean by that
00:05:01.960 when the Oklahoma bombings
00:05:03.300 happened
00:05:03.480 they realised
00:05:04.040 that it was not
00:05:04.500 a Middle Eastern attack 0.65
00:05:06.440 it was actually
00:05:07.680 a domestic
00:05:10.140 terrorist attack
00:05:11.680 done by two 0.99
00:05:12.440 white males
00:05:13.600 right
00:05:14.120 two or three of them
00:05:14.940 that killed
00:05:15.680 how many people
00:05:16.820 yeah
00:05:17.100 so the problem
00:05:18.280 is this
00:05:18.940 that we still
00:05:20.520 have this
00:05:21.080 colonial master syndrome
00:05:23.200 we have this
00:05:24.120 understanding
00:05:24.800 this way of thinking
00:05:26.280 that it's still
00:05:27.700 within us today
00:05:28.420 because what is he saying
00:05:29.440 he's saying
00:05:30.100 I'm not sorry about
00:05:31.920 this this this
00:05:32.840 this and this
00:05:33.460 I'm more
00:05:34.360 upset
00:05:35.320 that club goers
00:05:36.560 yeah
00:05:37.100 so club goers
00:05:37.920 those who are going
00:05:38.460 clubbing
00:05:38.960 those who are
00:05:39.360 entertaining themselves
00:05:40.000 those are the ones
00:05:40.720 you know
00:05:41.120 who are living that
00:05:41.720 you know
00:05:42.240 the 21st century
00:05:45.080 lifestyle
00:05:45.580 and they're slaves
00:05:47.160 you know
00:05:47.420 they're the cab drivers
00:05:48.220 you know
00:05:48.480 what he's doing
00:05:49.080 is he's putting
00:05:49.680 these people
00:05:50.620 who have died
00:05:51.120 children
00:05:51.520 men
00:05:51.860 women 1.00
00:05:52.220 innocent people
00:05:53.240 who are dead
00:05:54.040 he puts them
00:05:54.660 into the category
00:05:55.300 of cab drivers
00:05:56.180 they're cab drivers
00:05:56.900 they serve us
00:05:58.200 they serve us
00:05:59.640 I'm more sorry
00:06:00.580 in the context of
00:06:01.460 you know
00:06:02.020 these club goers
00:06:03.660 are not going to have
00:06:04.140 any cab drivers
00:06:04.800 to go back home
00:06:05.640 you can see
00:06:06.900 the deep
00:06:07.740 subliminal message
00:06:09.040 now I'm not saying
00:06:09.520 they did this
00:06:09.940 intention on intention
00:06:10.700 I'm not like
00:06:11.440 a conspiracy theorist
00:06:13.240 okay
00:06:13.560 but the point is
00:06:14.840 you can see
00:06:15.700 that the only thing
00:06:17.120 they saw
00:06:17.520 he didn't say
00:06:18.080 oh we've lost
00:06:18.660 52 solicitors
00:06:19.460 52 accountants
00:06:20.680 52 doctors
00:06:22.320 or 52 nurses 0.92
00:06:23.340 cab drivers
00:06:24.880 club goers
00:06:26.120 club goers
00:06:26.800 are suffering
00:06:27.160 because of
00:06:28.080 cab drivers
00:06:29.820 are dead
00:06:30.120 now 0.92

00:07:51.020 your kids
00:07:51.620 your innocent souls
00:07:52.720 where Allah says
00:07:53.920 in the Quran 0.53
00:07:54.260 killing one soul
00:07:55.520 is as if you killed
00:07:56.180 the whole of humanity
00:07:56.980 that's how dear
00:07:58.460 and precious
00:07:58.920 a life is
00:07:59.880 how would you feel
00:08:02.060 that I make a joke
00:08:03.260 when you're suffering
00:08:04.440 and grieving
00:08:05.280 in pain
00:08:06.400 and you are probably
00:08:08.120 going through
00:08:08.440 psychological trauma
00:08:09.820 to bury your loved ones
00:08:12.100 Isaac
00:08:13.220 I just want you to tell me
00:08:14.300 would you say
00:08:15.500 would you defend
00:08:16.260 my freedom of speech
00:08:17.260 of the joke
00:08:18.400 that I make
00:08:18.980 about your

00:08:23.440 and
00:08:24.920 your wife
00:08:26.960 would you see it
00:08:28.460 as a joke
00:08:28.900 and on top of that
00:08:29.640 you've got a bunch
00:08:30.380 of people laughing
00:08:31.640 imagine they're Muslims 0.99
00:08:32.760 and they're like

00:08:41.420 so upset
00:08:42.080 and so hurt
00:08:42.840 that your loved ones
00:08:44.240 are just a mere joke
00:08:45.920 so Isaac
00:08:48.080 like I said before

00:09:12.180 because of an attack
00:09:13.120 that we dehumanise them
00:09:14.800 to a level
