00:00:29.780 This journey, this road that I travel on, it always seems crazy, over the years, I picked
00:00:48.620 up thousands of tiger lungs, inspired by my story, from a juvenile, when my clothes had
00:00:54.440 holes in them, and my afro was picky, to them nighties, Moschino and Versace, no laces
00:01:01.180 in Arachis, new millennium.
00:01:03.700 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends.
00:01:06.540 I'm going to show you guys a clip.
00:01:07.840 It was the first week that I was back at Speaker's Corner.
00:01:10.460 And yes, Speaker's Corner gets a bit wild, it gets a bit intense, it can get a little
00:01:14.320 bit aggressive as well.
00:01:15.720 And I've been going there for about five, six years.
00:01:18.320 Now the reason I'm doing this video is not to justify anything at all, it's just to talk
00:01:21.720 to you guys about history, and what exactly has been going on in the park.
00:01:25.460 The park has been there for about 150, maybe more than that.
00:01:28.380 It's a historical place where people come and have discussions and debates.
00:01:31.420 Now, when I went to the park, for about one hour full, a group of Christian crusaders... 1.00
00:01:37.740 This missionary activity at the park, would you say it's conducive to dialogue?
00:01:43.140 No, it's not conducive to dialogue.
00:01:44.480 No, it's not.
00:01:45.500 Shout...
00:01:46.080 This method of discussion is not conducive.
00:01:50.220 It's not, it's not, um, it's not practical.
00:01:53.180 Shouting over someone doesn't mean that you're right.
00:01:55.840 And I really don't like it.
00:01:59.300 No, I don't like it.
00:02:00.920 And were you, were you...
00:02:02.000 Imagine if we were having a discussion, I'd start shouting over you. 1.00
00:02:05.080 Like, um, this is what I think about atheism.
00:02:08.300 No, you're wrong.
00:02:09.160 No, you're wrong. 1.00
00:02:09.760 Shut up. 1.00
00:02:10.180 Shut your mouth. 1.00
00:02:10.780 Shut up. 1.00
00:02:11.260 No, no, no. 1.00
00:02:11.840 What about, what about the Quran?
00:02:13.080 What about this?
00:02:14.140 It's not a way to discuss.
00:02:15.660 It's not a way to go into charity.
00:02:17.080 Absolutely.
00:02:18.000 And, um...
00:02:19.000 That's what I'm going to call them.
00:02:19.760 You know, they're actually militias.
00:02:21.060 One of them has admitted this in a clip.
00:02:22.700 He claimed, he said, he's got a t-shirt on that supports Christian militia.
00:02:25.760 Imagine if I had a t-shirt that supported ISIS or something like that. 0.91
00:02:30.160 What would have happened?
00:02:30.780 But he can openly come and say, I'm a Christian militia.
00:02:33.480 You know, saying this to the person that he's speaking to, another Muslim.
00:02:37.020 And this Muslim just, you know, is very pacifist about it. 1.00
00:02:39.760 What's happening, man?
00:02:41.620 How are you?
00:02:42.480 How are you?
00:02:43.000 Good.
00:02:43.580 How are you?
00:02:44.200 Good.
00:02:44.760 I was just asking you.
00:02:46.960 You know, it's Arabic, or is it?
00:02:48.880 Is it Hebrew?
00:02:51.100 It's a Christian militia.
00:02:53.540 Ah, okay, okay.
00:02:54.620 What I was going to ask, yeah?
00:02:56.160 You know, but anyways, the point is this.
00:02:58.840 Recently, in the past decade or so, the Christians have changed their way of giving their so-called,
00:03:04.940 their dawah, their apologetics, yeah?
00:03:07.020 It's totally changed.
00:03:08.040 Before, back in the days, it was, you know, you can talk about the Trinity and the Bible
00:03:12.800 and Jesus' love and the Holy Spirit and love, love, love, and we love everybody.
00:03:16.960 But it's starting to really change.
00:03:19.540 Now, let's watch this clip.
00:03:20.680 This was the first time after the lockdown that I've come to the park, set up my stool as peaceful,
00:03:25.520 and for one hour, non-stop heckling.
00:03:30.580 It's the park, it's normal, it happens, I totally ignored it.
00:03:32.920 And also, we had another individual who's psychologically disturbed, insulting, swearing. 0.94
00:03:36.840 I just totally ignored it because you can't be crazy with a crazy person.
00:03:41.940 Now, watch the following clip.
00:03:43.440 In the following clip, I go to pray.
00:03:45.140 On my way back, my own property, which belongs to our organization, Salaam,
00:03:49.220 somebody was sitting on it.
00:03:50.560 This individual, which everybody knows, which her voice could actually kill somebody, 0.74
00:03:54.520 and if she is married, her husband probably would hang himself.
00:03:57.840 Now, what happened was the following, one of the sisters, 0.78
00:03:59.800 is that I came back after prayer, and I saw her sitting,
00:04:02.940 and she knows very well, and she, out of respect, at least she has a bit of respect,
00:04:06.340 she got up, and I thought, okay, it's my property.
00:04:08.200 I came and got it.
00:04:09.400 Now, let's watch this carefully.
00:04:10.180 I'm going to come back.
00:04:10.820 You're sitting there.
00:04:12.580 Can you not?
00:04:14.860 I haven't liked this conversation, sir.
00:04:17.180 No one wants to talk to you.
00:04:19.260 Move out of the chair.
00:04:20.120 Move out of the chair.
00:04:20.720 Move out of the chair.
00:04:21.260 Move out of the chair.
00:04:21.840 Move out of the chair.
00:04:22.340 Move out of the chair.
00:04:23.420 Move out.
00:04:24.120 Move out of the chair.
00:04:24.420 Move out of the chair.
00:04:25.360 Move out of the chair.
00:04:34.280 Move out of the chair.
00:04:36.640 Move out of the chair.
00:04:41.860 Move out of the chair.
00:04:42.560 Move out of the chair.
00:04:42.980 Move out of the chair.
00:04:45.080 Move out.
00:04:45.840 Move out of the chair.
00:04:46.360 Move out of the chair.
00:04:47.200 Move out of how many people is sitting here walking,
00:04:48.060 down and figuring out this way.
00:04:49.180 Move out of the chair.
00:04:49.740 This is what you don't do.
00:05:00.000 You've done it for Islam again. 1.00
00:05:19.740 What do you want?
00:05:33.500 Of course, it is a part of Islam.
00:05:38.500 It is a part of Islam to lie and not out of it. 1.00
00:05:46.980 No, he started, he started.
00:05:52.980 Did you push her?
00:05:53.980 No, he didn't, he didn't.
00:05:55.980 Is this the bravery of Islam?
00:06:00.980 Is this the amazing woman? 0.71
00:06:03.980 Oh, you're getting aggressive now, yeah?
00:06:06.980 Listen, there was nothing going on.
00:06:10.980 Don't be a hero.
00:06:25.980 Don't be a hero.
00:06:27.980 Don't be a hero.
00:06:30.980 Don't be a hero.
00:06:31.980 Don't be a hero.
00:06:32.980 Leave it. 0.95
00:06:33.980 Leave it. 0.95
00:06:34.980 Now, what did you guys see there, brothers and sisters?
00:06:37.980 Yeah?
00:06:38.980 I got my property.
00:06:39.980 She comes violently, takes it back to sit on it. 0.99
00:06:42.980 And I move it before she sits on it and she bounces on the floor because of gravity. 1.00
00:06:46.980 You know?
00:06:47.980 You know?
00:06:48.980 The gravity, the law of gravity couldn't help but, you know, she fell down like a basketball 0.93
00:06:53.980 and bounced.
00:06:54.980 And I had no sympathy for her at all.
00:06:55.980 And I have no regrets and I would have done the same thing again and again and again.
00:07:00.980 Now, what happened is a group of Christian crusaders, including Bob and another guy, 0.83
00:07:04.980 you know, he's, I don't know who he was here, this is a militia, Christian militia,
00:07:09.980 coming to the rescue, you know, this attitude.
00:07:12.980 So, the question needs to be asked is why are Christians in the last decade have changed
00:07:17.980 their whole way of giving their Dawah, their apologetics?
00:07:22.980 They do not talk about the Trinity anymore.
00:07:24.980 They do not mention the Bible at all.
00:07:26.980 Some of them actually reject the Bible and accept that it's been corrupted.
00:07:28.980 They do not talk about Jesus.
00:07:30.980 They do not talk about the Holy Spirit.
00:07:31.980 They do not talk about the Father.
00:07:33.980 They do not talk about Paul, Mark, Matthew, Luke or John.
00:07:35.980 None of that.
00:07:36.980 And all of them do something very strange.
00:07:43.980 Which is what?
00:07:44.980 They have now started to talk about Islam.
00:07:47.980 Nothing but Islam. 0.99
00:07:49.980 Now, one begs the question, why?
00:07:51.980 Let's go in history.
00:07:53.980 In the year 850, there was about 48 or between 47 to 50 Christian missionaries.
00:08:00.980 They were called the martyrs of Cordoba in Spain under the rule of the Islamic Empire.
00:08:05.980 And what were these Christians doing, these missionaries? 1.00
00:08:08.980 They realized that a lot of Christians were leaving Christianity and embracing Islam.
00:08:14.980 And that really got to them.
00:08:16.980 And intellectually, they knew they had no ground.
00:08:19.980 It was baseless.
00:08:20.980 And that's exactly what's happening again today.
00:08:22.980 And what did they go down the route of?
00:08:24.980 Martyr.
00:08:25.980 Now, this lady, she tried to be a martyr by falling on the floor. 1.00
00:08:28.980 But no one really bought it.
00:08:29.980 But they were actually blaspheming, insulting the prophet in public,
00:08:33.980 knowing the execution was going to be the capital punishment.
00:08:37.980 That didn't stop them.
00:08:38.980 Why? Because they wanted their fellow Christians to sympathize and not become Muslims. 0.99
00:08:42.980 Brothers and sisters, the same thing is being done here. 0.85
00:08:46.980 These people have adopted hate so much.
00:08:50.980 It has gone in within them so much that forget talking about their own faith that totally abandoned.
00:08:56.980 And why do they do that?
00:08:58.980 Because Shahadas happen over and over and over again in the park. 0.93
00:09:02.980 And guess what?
00:09:03.980 After that incident, we had a beautiful young...
00:09:05.980 Well, I'm going to call him a young man.
00:09:06.980 He's in his...
00:09:07.980 I would say 30, 40s.
00:09:08.980 Came Michael, who accepted Islam in Salam Corner. 0.81
00:09:11.980 And that made perfect sense.
00:09:13.980 Because I have never in my life come across anyone in Speaker's Corner that's accepted Christianity.
00:09:17.980 Now, I'm not here to say one is better.
00:09:20.980 This doesn't...
00:09:21.980 Someone accepting Islam that makes it true. 1.00
00:09:23.980 What I'm seeing is that, brothers and sisters,
00:09:25.980 if this is happening and these people are resorting to this,
00:09:28.980 and slowly you can see that they are raging and raging in there,
00:09:31.980 because we're just totally ignoring them.
00:09:33.980 This shows you, brothers and sisters, how powerful Islam is. 0.79
00:09:36.980 And when I see this visually with my own self,
00:09:39.980 and see the insults that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam gets,
00:09:41.980 and we get and we get attacked,
00:09:43.980 Wallahi, it reminds us of what the Anbiya went through.
00:09:46.980 And it also reminds us how strong Islam is,
00:09:49.980 that these people cannot attack it theologically,
00:09:52.980 academically, intellectually,
00:09:54.980 but all they have to do is heckling, abuse,
00:09:57.980 and martyring themselves on the floor like a basketball.
00:10:01.980 Brothers and sisters, be aware and make sure
00:10:05.980 that you do not buy this, ignore it, smile at their faces,
00:10:08.980 and carry on being an ambassador of Islam,
00:10:11.980 like our brother Isa, may Allah have mercy on,
00:10:13.980 who is a brilliant example with his akhlaq and his adab,
00:10:16.980 and we are going to carry that inshaAllah.
00:10:17.980 This was a little reminder,
00:10:18.980 and here's a little full clip of her falling again.
00:10:21.980 Isn't it interesting?
00:10:22.980 Till next time,
00:10:23.980 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,
00:10:25.980 in this beautiful day,
00:10:26.980 to the beautiful souls watching there inshaAllah.
00:10:28.980 And if you want to accept Islam, 0.69
00:10:29.980 please come visit our Speaker's Corner,
00:10:31.980 and we can have some discussions.
00:10:35.980 Thank you.
00:10:36.980 Thank you.
