00:02:15.760

00:02:21.100
on the same day by the same individual to all jewish people only jewish people he didn't discriminate
00:02:25.580
only attack jews okay so it's it's very clear his motives are very clear we can't we can't say this was
00:02:30.880
you know this is very clear he only attacked jews yeah and for for totally unprovoked people just
00:02:37.540
minding their own business going about their own things going to synagogue yeah doing uh their own
00:02:43.380
personal matters and this guy just came up to them out of the blue and attacked them now we've got
00:02:48.760
some footages and we've got some pictures of this individual uh well he has been caught rabbi
00:02:53.380
when was he caught was he caught yesterday yesterday yes in west yorkshire in west yorkshire so he
00:02:58.220
lives up there or he ran up there he lives up there he's from up there yep okay all right so
00:03:02.800
brothers and sisters you know the prophet this reminds me of the prophet peace be upon him said
00:03:05.760
he said the lowest form of iman faith is to move harmful things in the road so if i'm walking down
00:03:12.180
the road and i see a hazard and i think you know be the jewish community or people in general might trip
00:03:17.140
over it it's my duty as a muslim to move that from the road so it causes no harm now let alone me
00:03:22.260
moving objects when a person who's a muslim who's dressed up in a thaw comes to a jewish area let
00:03:28.200
alone moving harm is causing harm to the people and i don't know what kind of delusion he's under
00:03:33.240
i hope he doesn't think that this is some kind of a reward that he's going to get from god
00:03:37.120
because he'll be very deluded because this is very against let alone humanity you know to target
00:03:42.280
a group of people who are you know you're just walking about your business is disgusting and as the
00:03:46.440
muslim community you know we suffer this as well you know so we know how it feels you know i when i walk
00:03:51.040
down the road or somewhere i have to look behind me sometimes you know i'm involved in the dawah
00:03:54.380
especially the sisters exactly yes the hijabs because since they go with hijab people recognize
00:04:02.140
them and and sometimes buses don't stop for them and they they they suffer and and and i've spoken
00:04:09.320
out many on many occasions on their behalf and rabbi um hash yeah rabbi you know what it is this
