00:00:35.920 Yeah we're going to watch two videos

00:00:37.240 And we're going to react to it

00:00:37.840 One is a man walking in New York City as a homosexual 1.00

00:00:40.320 I know walking through all the...

00:00:50.480 Ah he's going over the top

00:00:51.520 Come on at least act properly

00:00:53.280 Like seriously

00:00:53.940 No honestly he's not acting properly

00:00:55.120 This is disrespectful to homosexuals 1.00

00:00:56.740 No no because look how he's walking man

00:00:58.040 Come on at least like we

00:00:59.040 He's proper exaggerating

00:01:00.860 He is why is he walking like that for

00:01:02.240 No that's what I'm saying

00:01:02.920 He's like he's mocking

00:01:04.140 Wow

00:01:10.100 That's a little too tight homie 1.00

00:01:14.460 Hey what's your name

00:01:21.160 Alrighty

00:01:22.560 He's reminding me of GTA

00:01:31.180 Whoa

00:01:32.880 Are you kidding me

00:01:35.620 Listen hell

00:01:37.620 I've never heard that before

00:01:39.760 It's Victoria's Secret not Victor

00:01:41.760 Bro that is

00:01:43.100 That's

00:01:43.600 Anyway yeah that's what I said

00:01:45.020 That's what I was there

00:01:45.560 Show up

00:01:45.920 Show up

00:01:46.500 How are you just touching some next man like he's happy to do

00:01:52.720 That's going to be harassment

00:01:53.320 But why are they going to a gay guy 0.99

00:01:56.220 Whoa he said 50% off

00:01:58.800 Where

00:01:59.100 Huh

00:02:00.480 Oh

00:02:00.920 Is that

00:02:01.900 See

00:02:02.140 He's talking about Asian 1.00

00:02:02.920 He's looking at this

00:02:03.600 He knows

00:02:04.100 That's racist

00:02:06.420 Oh he did that on purpose

00:02:10.580 Did he

00:02:11.280 What

00:02:11.600 Yeah

00:02:14.920 Purpose

00:02:15.800 Nah that's not right

00:02:30.080 Got bottee boy

00:02:31.780 I thought

00:02:33.560 that was only used in the UK.

00:02:35.060 You know that kind of...

00:02:36.300 LG slang.

00:02:41.180 Oh, oh, damn.

00:03:03.560 That's harassment, bro.

00:03:06.340 You know what would be funny if he punched him

00:03:07.980 just out of the blue?

00:03:09.740 What up, dog bang?

00:03:11.780 Nah, that's crazy.

00:03:12.620 I would never have thought that's what would happen.

00:03:14.520 Bro, bro, that's done to a male or female, bro. 1.00

00:03:17.780 Like, it's harassment.

00:03:18.800 Disgusting.

00:03:22.200 50 plus instances of verbal...

00:03:24.240 Within three hours.

00:03:26.280 It's devastating.

00:03:28.820 Gay and lesbian teens are two to three times more likely

00:03:31.200 to commit teen suicide.

00:03:32.960 Okay.

00:03:33.440 That's actually crazy.

00:03:34.420 Okay, before we wanted to...

00:03:35.860 Quickly, yeah?

00:03:37.500 What I see from this,

00:03:39.000 and I think a lot of you guys should understand from that as well,

00:03:41.600 is sadly, in today's time,

00:03:42.900 it's made out to see, like, Muslims...

00:03:46.140 You know, it's like Muslims are only homophobic 1.00

00:03:48.800 and they hate homosexuals

00:03:50.220 and this narrative is pushed out there.

00:03:52.260 This is an American country.

00:03:53.740 This is a country where freedom of expression

00:03:55.360 or wherever you want to do it, you can do it.

00:03:56.760 He's walking down the street of New York City.

00:03:58.800 New York City's vibrant, multicultural,

00:04:00.780 and look at the harassment he's getting, yeah?

00:04:04.260 Nobody deserves to be harassed in that way.

00:04:07.040 No, that is actually...

00:04:08.760 That's kind of sad, you know?

00:04:09.960 Yeah.

00:04:10.140 It's really sad because

00:04:11.160 no one wants to feel like that.

00:04:12.960 So for them to be struggling with something like that

00:04:15.020 in a homophobic society,

00:04:18.160 to be very honest with you,

00:04:19.680 it must be hard for them on a day-to-day.

00:04:21.660 Let's watch our next video, yeah?

00:04:22.860 Because then we're going to get an understanding

00:04:25.100 of this whole perception of us Muslims

00:04:28.160 towards homosexuals, etc.

00:04:30.400 I've yet to see a gay individual,

00:04:32.840 homosexual individual,

00:04:34.280 walk down the street like that.

00:04:36.040 I think that was...

00:04:37.260 Yeah, that was a bit exaggerated.

00:04:38.500 Yeah.

00:04:38.760 Yeah, it was a bit exaggerated.

00:04:39.740 Oh, he just...

00:04:53.080 Oh, did you guess that?

00:04:54.860 Did you guess that?

00:04:55.700 He just said to him,

00:04:57.120 why would you go and act upon this?

00:04:59.420 And he just said,

00:05:00.040 but I'm not.

00:05:01.080 So they went there with the assumption

00:05:03.260 that he acts upon being a homosexual. 0.90

00:05:05.600 Okay, so the guy in the middle,

00:05:07.440 white, he's a Muslim revert also.

00:05:09.220 His name is Paul.

00:05:10.060 Yeah.

00:05:10.420 The person who's struggling with...

00:05:12.080 And then you've got two new Muslim reverts,

00:05:14.720 which we're going to cover the face,

00:05:15.680 we're not going to show them,

00:05:16.740 how they're reacting,

00:05:18.120 how they're treating him.

00:05:27.520 Yeah, that's a bit of a flawed point,

00:05:29.340 saying how can you be gay 0.84

00:05:30.680 if you don't act upon it,

00:05:31.520 because before I got married,

00:05:33.300 and before I was...

00:05:34.680 Obviously, when you get married,

00:05:36.060 you're sexually active, 0.68

00:05:36.960 to be very blunt.

00:05:38.520 I was straight.

00:05:39.860 Yes.

00:05:40.100 Now, just because I wasn't acting

00:05:41.520 and sleeping around

00:05:42.640 and having sex with people... 0.63

00:05:44.180 Doesn't mean you're not straight.

00:05:45.560 Yeah, exactly.

00:05:46.240 You're a straight man

00:05:46.680 with straight feelings

00:05:47.360 and not act on them.

00:05:48.280 Well, but it's the same question to you.

00:05:49.960 Exactly.

00:05:50.200 Because you are a good Muslim

00:05:51.720 and you're following God's law.

00:05:53.300 Same way for me,

00:05:54.420 we all follow the same law

00:05:55.660 called the Ahab al-Sharia,

00:05:57.060 which says that sex is for 0.80

00:05:58.500 heterosexual marriage alone. 0.65

00:06:00.360 You don't break that law.

00:06:01.700 I break other laws, by the way,

00:06:02.920 which I'm not going to go into.

00:06:03.600 I'm not a good Muslim, 1.00

00:06:04.820 but this just happens to be

00:06:05.900 one law, I don't break.

00:06:07.080 It's funny, that, isn't it?

00:06:07.760 We all commit sins.

00:06:09.280 And Mohammed, peace upon him, 0.96

00:06:11.200 said the best of those who sin

00:06:13.200 are those who repent.

00:06:14.680 Okay.

00:06:15.160 Of those sexual acts.

00:06:16.700 Looking at a man in that way,

00:06:18.520 is that a sin?

00:06:19.040 He's asking me a question.

00:06:20.140 That's a good question.

00:06:21.100 Brother, let me ask...

00:06:21.820 And stick on that point.

00:06:22.660 Let me ask this question.

00:06:23.820 Homosexual acts are prohibited 0.82

00:06:25.500 in the Torah,

00:06:26.780 they're prohibited in the Injil,

00:06:28.380 they're prohibited in the Quran

00:06:29.360 and the Sunnah.

00:06:30.500 The acts are...

00:06:31.480 Feelings, which we can't deal with,

00:06:33.780 same-sex feelings,

00:06:34.620 are not addressed by that.

00:06:36.200 The Sharia is concerned with our actions. 0.96

00:06:37.920 That's actually a very interesting

00:06:39.220 question he made.

00:06:40.160 I haven't actually thought

00:06:41.000 of things like that before.

00:06:41.920 That's very interesting.

00:06:42.940 Why is it?

00:06:43.260 He just said that

00:06:44.080 the Sharia 0.55

00:06:45.360 deals with

00:06:46.520 the actions that you do,

00:06:48.320 not in regards to your feelings.

00:06:49.640 And that's true.

00:06:50.560 Because I might be walking

00:06:52.460 down the street

00:06:53.020 as a married man

00:06:53.920 and I might...

00:06:55.440 You know,

00:06:55.920 while lowering my gaze,

00:06:57.480 a girl who's,

00:06:58.400 mashallah, very pretty,

00:06:59.720 she catches my eye.

00:07:00.880 Yes, al-staffarullah.

00:07:01.600 Now, if I...

00:07:02.200 Obviously, al-staffarullah.

00:07:04.020 But if a thought comes in my mind

00:07:05.640 because of that,

00:07:06.360 I'm not accountable for that thought.

00:07:07.940 Yeah, because the Prophet

00:07:08.900 said that this Ummah is...

00:07:10.600 The thoughts that we get,

00:07:12.380 if we don't act upon them,

00:07:13.300 we're not sinful.

00:07:14.480 Yeah?

00:07:14.800 And not only that...

00:07:15.440 Because obviously,

00:07:15.980 shaitan will put thoughts in it.

00:07:16.800 And not only that,

00:07:17.460 as Muslims,

00:07:18.140 if we believe that

00:07:18.600 if we have an evil thought

00:07:19.380 and you don't act upon it,

00:07:20.240 you get a reward.

00:07:21.200 Judaism, Christianity and Islam

00:07:22.620 all believe that

00:07:23.940 homosexuality is a sin. 1.00

00:07:25.280 It's a major sin.

00:07:25.840 Yes, we believe that.

00:07:26.440 There's no denying that.

00:07:27.720 However, Islam is the only one 1.00

00:07:29.100 that says you don't act

00:07:30.520 according to the action.

00:07:31.640 The way I look at a woman,

00:07:32.800 the way I look at a woman,

00:07:34.060 yeah?

00:07:34.300 Do you look at a man that way?

00:07:36.080 Looking at a woman 1.00

00:07:36.940 or a man,

00:07:38.860 or a man,

00:07:39.860 it's a sin.

00:07:41.600 Yeah?

00:07:41.760 You should lower your gaze.

00:07:42.860 I don't know why he's comparing that.

00:07:43.860 That's why I think...

00:07:44.320 To be honest,

00:07:44.680 this conversation to me

00:07:45.760 so far has been pointless.

00:07:47.260 He has made it clear

00:07:47.920 what he's on,

00:07:48.520 which is that

00:07:49.280 he gets inclinations

00:07:50.460 but he doesn't act on them.

00:07:51.840 For example,

00:07:52.280 Allah says in the Quran

00:07:52.820 he's created man weak.

00:07:53.640 We have weakness towards women, 1.00

00:07:54.560 yeah?

00:07:55.040 So sometimes if we have

00:07:56.280 shaitan bringing evil thoughts 0.80

00:07:57.940 into our head,

00:07:58.840 yeah?

00:07:59.240 If we don't act upon it,

00:08:00.500 that's like,

00:08:01.240 you know,

00:08:02.320 what's the difference?

00:08:03.460 Me,

00:08:03.860 us men having tests

00:08:05.720 from women,

00:08:07.060 for example,

00:08:07.500 our weakness is women, 1.00

00:08:08.260 yeah?

00:08:08.300 You know what's very profound?

00:08:09.160 You know what would be profound?

00:08:09.960 If you don't cut me.

00:08:10.480 Let me finish my point,

00:08:15.300 yeah?

00:08:16.920 That was a sick one.

00:08:19.260 What was I saying?

00:08:19.900 See,

00:08:20.040 I forgot.

00:08:20.800 What was I saying?

00:08:21.340 Still in the bars.

00:08:22.740 Us having thoughts,

00:08:24.460 like for example,

00:08:25.160 men having a weakness

00:08:25.840 against women 1.00

00:08:26.940 is a test.

00:08:28.740 Same way a man 0.98

00:08:29.780 might have a feeling

00:08:31.080 or a woman

00:08:31.520 might have a feeling

00:08:31.980 against the same gender,

00:08:33.280 yeah?

00:08:33.720 It's about leaving it

00:08:35.060 for the sake of God

00:08:35.820 and saying,

00:08:36.160 you know what?

00:08:36.940 I want to please God,

00:08:38.160 yeah?

00:08:38.360 And I want paradise,

00:08:39.260 so this is a test.

00:08:40.340 I'm going to abstain from it.

00:08:41.980 Yes,

00:08:42.400 as a Muslim,

00:08:44.360 is that wrong?

00:08:45.120 Yes,

00:08:45.400 as a Muslim,

00:08:45.880 looking at a woman

00:08:47.160 or a man,

00:08:48.000 lustfully,

00:08:48.520 is wrong.

00:08:49.420 You know why this is very dangerous

00:08:50.620 for Muslims,

00:08:51.260 yeah?

00:08:51.740 Because you saw the first half

00:08:52.920 of this with Christianity 0.54

00:08:53.660 when they forced gay marriage 0.98

00:08:56.100 in the church.

00:08:56.980 Do you understand?

00:08:58.320 And then from there now,

00:09:00.100 you have gay marriage

00:09:00.860 in the church

00:09:01.300 and it's infiltrated.

00:09:02.040 He just said

00:09:06.300 gay marriage is haram. 0.90

00:09:07.560 He's clearly saying,

00:09:08.200 I understand.

00:09:08.240 So what are you talking about?

00:09:09.080 What's the point of this conversation?

00:09:09.860 That's what I'm trying to say.

00:09:10.280 It's like,

00:09:10.660 you're having an argument

00:09:11.620 and the guy's just like...

00:09:12.080 It's like you're just trying

00:09:12.720 to have a dig at him

00:09:13.620 because he has these inclinations.

00:09:15.140 It's like me having a dig at Ali

00:09:16.860 for being ugly.

00:09:17.600 I can't blame him.

00:09:20.280 Every creation of Allah

00:09:21.500 is beautiful.

00:09:22.780 You know,

00:09:23.080 advising people without knowledge,

00:09:24.900 it just...

00:09:25.460 Yes.

00:09:26.060 It just...

00:09:27.060 It makes you look a bit...

00:09:28.300 It makes you look

00:09:29.040 and it just causes destruction.

00:09:30.540 You end up destroying people

00:09:31.940 as Iman

00:09:32.440 rather than saving it.

00:09:33.400 Yes, yes, yes.

00:09:33.840 Exactly.

00:09:34.020 And that's what they...

00:09:35.160 Like, if Paul didn't have knowledge,

00:09:36.920 like,

00:09:37.260 he probably would have left.

00:09:38.460 Yeah, not only that,

00:09:39.380 he would have been left.

00:09:40.300 He would have assumed

00:09:41.440 that all Muslims are like that. 0.99

00:09:42.780 Yes, exactly.

00:09:45.820 You can't say,

00:09:46.660 I'm more of a Muslim than me.

00:09:48.180 That's wrong.

00:09:48.820 You can't say that.

00:09:49.700 You can't speak to anyone.

00:09:51.260 One minute, one minute.

00:09:52.080 There's other people

00:09:52.740 in Hyde Park, yeah,

00:09:54.120 who are propagating

00:09:55.000 this shirk

00:09:55.520 on an active level.

00:09:56.900 Yes.

00:09:57.660 Actively.

00:09:58.280 Yes.

00:09:58.800 Associating partners with Allah.

00:10:00.200 Yeah.

00:10:01.160 Do these brothers have

00:10:02.360 as much al-wala wal-bara

00:10:03.700 which is love and hatred

00:10:05.520 for Allah

00:10:06.080 to go and hate that more?

00:10:07.700 Yeah.

00:10:07.820 Because it seems like

00:10:08.980 they have...

00:10:09.540 Exactly.

00:10:10.020 Because this shows

00:10:11.700 lack of Tawheed.

00:10:12.720 Lack of Tawheed means

00:10:13.520 the understanding

00:10:14.340 of oneness of God.

00:10:16.100 So it just goes to show you.

00:10:17.720 I mean,

00:10:18.500 some of us fail to understand

00:10:19.920 the potential of non-Muslims. 0.94

00:10:22.720 If today,

00:10:23.740 a non-Muslim that I'm speaking to

00:10:25.140 accepts Islam,

00:10:26.200 as soon as he's accepted Islam,

00:10:28.180 he's like a newborn baby.

00:10:29.580 Yeah, of course.

00:10:29.780 All of his previous sins

00:10:30.740 are forgiven.

00:10:31.380 Of course.

00:10:31.720 Me as a Muslim,

00:10:32.720 I've got loads of sins.

00:10:34.400 So that's what we fail

00:10:36.040 to understand that

00:10:36.920 looking at non-Muslims, 0.66

00:10:38.900 we look down upon them.

00:10:40.260 Yeah?

00:10:40.440 But a non-Muslim 1.00

00:10:41.200 is a potential Muslim.

00:10:43.120 This whole thing

00:10:43.940 about gay and not gay,

00:10:46.000 look,

00:10:46.260 we don't want to be here today

00:10:48.280 to tell you

00:10:48.940 you're not a Muslim, 1.00

00:10:49.680 don't go and pray to you

00:10:50.700 or you're clear.

00:10:51.420 I'm not here to tell you

00:10:52.040 you're not a Muslim either.

00:10:53.080 Well, why is it all about me?

00:10:53.980 No, I'm not making it up.

00:10:55.140 I'm trying to help you.

00:10:56.160 I'm trying to help you.

00:10:57.200 They're saying

00:10:57.620 they're trying to help him,

00:10:58.520 but honestly,

00:10:59.240 they need to help their self

00:11:00.740 because sadly,

00:11:02.000 Paul is speaking

00:11:02.660 more Islamically

00:11:04.020 than they are.

00:11:04.980 Listen, listen,

00:11:06.200 let me tell you

00:11:07.020 what I'm saying.

00:11:08.260 Let me tell you

00:11:09.100 what I'm saying.

00:11:09.800 What goes on behind those walls

00:11:11.500 is between you and Allah. 0.99

00:11:13.300 If you want to go

00:11:13.980 commit sin,

00:11:14.860 don't commit sin.

00:11:15.860 That's right to you.

00:11:17.080 No, but he's right.

00:11:17.780 Why is it about him?

00:11:18.220 He can say the same thing.

00:11:19.300 We're talking about

00:11:20.280 a sin,

00:11:21.400 which is a sin.

00:11:22.340 Yeah, it's like

00:11:22.960 any other major sin.

00:11:24.440 It's a sin.

00:11:25.220 I can just turn around to you

00:11:26.800 and say,

00:11:27.080 bro, look, okay,

00:11:27.960 if you're committing zinnah,

00:11:29.360 just know that

00:11:29.840 your Lord's watching.

00:11:30.640 It's the same thing.

00:11:31.680 And not only that,

00:11:32.720 it's not just Muslims.

00:11:33.580 It's not just two guys here.

00:11:34.800 You've got a guy on the left

00:11:35.740 and a guy on the right

00:11:36.380 which are non-Muslims.

00:11:37.120 Yeah, Rastafarian. 0.93

00:11:38.020 One's a Rastafarian 1.00

00:11:38.640 and one other guy's

00:11:39.540 no, he's an atheist.

00:11:40.280 Oh, he's an atheist?

00:11:40.700 He has no moral grounds

00:11:41.620 to say anything.

00:11:42.760 We're going to finish.

00:11:44.020 We're going to finish.

00:11:45.060 Let me finish.

00:11:46.040 If everyone's talking at me,

00:11:47.420 let me speak.

00:11:49.200 I'm a Muslim

00:11:49.860 who has same-sex attraction,

00:11:51.220 but you want to put it

00:11:51.700 in a different language, yeah?

00:11:52.980 My sexual attraction

00:11:53.700 is not to Muslim,

00:11:54.640 but to men.

00:11:55.020 It just happens to be the case.

00:11:55.780 I can't help that.

00:11:57.140 There are lots of Muslims like this. 1.00

00:11:58.540 Always have been throughout history, yeah?

00:12:00.600 Well, I choose,

00:12:02.160 as an Englishman,

00:12:03.220 to be a Muslim

00:12:04.020 and living under God's law,

00:12:05.520 which is revealed

00:12:06.520 in all the revelations of God.

00:12:08.820 I accept that the place,

00:12:10.100 the only authentic

00:12:11.580 allowed place

00:12:12.240 for sexual intimacy

00:12:13.120 is in heterosexual marriage

00:12:14.780 between a man and a woman 0.97

00:12:15.840 or a man and two women

00:12:16.720 or whatever, yeah?

00:12:17.700 I accept that.

00:12:18.940 I actually have to live

00:12:20.160 by that rule.

00:12:21.220 Look,

00:12:22.440 that's not just me saying,

00:12:23.540 look, yeah,

00:12:24.020 I know adultery,

00:12:25.660 acting on adultery

00:12:26.280 is wrong.

00:12:27.240 That's why

00:12:27.780 I'm not going to do adultery

00:12:29.320 and I'm going to do the right thing

00:12:30.520 until I'm going to stay away from that

00:12:32.160 until I get married.

00:12:32.800 It's like me saying,

00:12:33.740 one minute,

00:12:34.180 but why do you get thoughts for?

00:12:36.100 Why do you get these feelings?

00:12:37.560 That's what I'm saying.

00:12:38.340 What's wrong with you?

00:12:39.100 We need to understand,

00:12:40.040 just because you get these thoughts

00:12:41.100 doesn't mean you're homosexual.

00:12:42.660 Look, I don't think

00:12:43.140 there's one Muslim

00:12:44.020 on the face of this earth

00:12:45.300 that can tell me

00:12:46.640 with confidence

00:12:47.720 that my brother,

00:12:48.900 I have never had a thought

00:12:49.880 from the shaitan in my head.

00:12:51.420 Yeah,

00:12:52.060 about anything.

00:12:52.800 Forget that,

00:12:53.340 the sahaba had bad thoughts

00:12:54.460 about Allah and his messenger.

00:12:56.020 Having these thoughts

00:12:56.880 doesn't make you homosexual.

00:12:58.280 Do you get it?

00:12:59.040 Because it's like saying,

00:13:00.120 you know what,

00:13:00.400 in my head I sometimes

00:13:01.040 think about murdering somebody.

00:13:02.260 It doesn't make you a murderer, yeah?

00:13:04.280 Obviously it's wrong

00:13:04.940 what you're thinking.

00:13:05.760 It's about overcoming that.

00:13:07.200 Why,

00:13:07.520 for the love of God,

00:13:08.940 I don't know

00:13:10.100 what the benefit is

00:13:12.680 of mentioning

00:13:13.460 that you are

00:13:14.300 because then

00:13:16.360 you are going to attract

00:13:17.300 a lot of ignorant people

00:13:18.180 like this

00:13:18.640 and it might cause

00:13:19.660 a bit of controversy.

00:13:20.200 But they went up to him.

00:13:20.860 He didn't come up.

00:13:21.460 That's the thing.

00:13:21.940 Maybe they heard

00:13:22.800 from somewhere else.

00:13:23.500 I don't know.

00:13:23.860 I don't know.

00:13:24.520 But, yeah.

00:13:25.560 I don't need to be lectured

00:13:27.660 by a well-meaning Muslim

00:13:29.480 about what I do

00:13:30.460 in my private life.

00:13:32.300 Because I can question you.

00:13:35.080 If you go into the road,

00:13:36.940 you know there's a Muslim

00:13:37.680 involved drinking alcohol.

00:13:39.360 That's for all.

00:13:41.600 Let's also think about

00:13:42.720 alcohol drinking.

00:13:43.880 Let's think about Muslims

00:13:44.760 who are straight 0.72

00:13:45.660 who sleep around.

00:13:46.460 You know,

00:13:46.760 you know,

00:13:47.360 subhanAllah,

00:13:48.040 it's a very profound point

00:13:49.340 that he mentioned.

00:13:50.600 Abdullah bin Abbas

00:13:51.480 was actually of the view

00:13:52.500 that, you know what

00:13:53.600 the greatest sin is

00:13:54.500 after shirk?

00:13:56.300 Drinking alcohol.

00:13:57.760 Really?

00:13:58.060 Consuming alcohol.

00:13:59.200 Let's talk about racism.

00:14:01.380 Let's talk about

00:14:02.080 all these other forms, yeah?

00:14:04.020 But it just happens to be

00:14:05.020 that they're...

00:14:05.780 The thing is,

00:14:06.500 the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam

00:14:07.620 would look for any excuse

00:14:09.240 to keep someone as a Muslim. 0.82

00:14:10.580 Nowadays,

00:14:11.300 the Muslims look for any excuse 1.00

00:14:12.960 to make someone

00:14:13.520 into a non-Muslim. 0.91

00:14:14.500 Yeah?

00:14:15.080 But the thing is,

00:14:15.920 everyone sins.

00:14:17.220 Everyone's sins are different.

00:14:18.760 Everyone is going

00:14:19.580 at their own pace.

00:14:20.500 The thing is that,

00:14:21.180 you know what you just said, yeah?

00:14:23.340 Everyone sins.

00:14:24.980 Like,

00:14:25.480 that's...

00:14:26.100 That is accepted

00:14:27.180 by everyone, yeah?

00:14:28.280 But you know

00:14:28.900 the craziest thing is,

00:14:30.280 they're not even talking

00:14:31.080 about a sin here.

00:14:32.700 They're questioning him

00:14:33.720 for having thoughts.

00:14:34.960 Yeah.

00:14:35.520 This is not Islam. 1.00

00:14:37.860 We don't pick on brothers

00:14:39.620 because they have

00:14:40.320 same-sex attraction

00:14:41.220 as if it's the worst thing.

00:14:42.780 It's not a sin

00:14:43.520 to have feelings.

00:14:44.580 It's what you do

00:14:45.620 with those feelings.

00:14:46.640 If you have them desires,

00:14:48.600 then that's you.

00:14:49.320 That's not me.

00:14:49.940 Bruv,

00:14:51.820 I can come to you

00:14:52.480 and say,

00:14:52.740 bruv,

00:14:52.980 if you have them desires

00:14:53.740 about women,

00:14:54.360 that's you.

00:14:54.860 That's not me.

00:14:55.660 That's what I'm saying.

00:14:56.380 So,

00:14:56.700 if you want to go

00:14:57.480 and do that,

00:14:58.240 then come and...

00:14:58.900 Bruv,

00:14:59.080 I can say the same thing.

00:14:59.780 If you want to go

00:15:00.320 and do that,

00:15:00.820 you go do that.

00:15:01.580 I'm sorry.

00:15:02.040 Do that.

00:15:02.660 I suggest you do that

00:15:04.040 and don't tell anyone

00:15:04.880 I'm sorry.

00:15:05.160 I suggest you do that

00:15:06.500 as long as you don't

00:15:07.040 tell anyone.

00:15:07.700 Like,

00:15:07.860 that's the same thing.

00:15:08.420 He didn't do anything.

00:15:10.040 He's not...

00:15:11.040 Tell a Muslim 1.00

00:15:11.960 it's okay

00:15:12.560 to go and do...

00:15:13.320 I'm not saying

00:15:14.260 that it's okay.

00:15:15.040 I'm saying

00:15:15.380 I don't accept it.

00:15:16.440 I'm not going to go

00:15:17.080 and do it.

00:15:17.680 You don't...

00:15:18.620 Your decisions

00:15:19.760 ain't going to have

00:15:20.380 to be in the society.

00:15:22.000 I'm just going to

00:15:22.720 assume their best

00:15:23.380 because, you know...

00:15:23.980 No, what do you mean

00:15:24.660 assume the best?

00:15:25.220 How is this relevant?

00:15:26.640 No, we don't have...

00:15:27.580 Bro, if something is...

00:15:28.380 They're two new revet brothers.

00:15:29.720 We have to just...

00:15:30.520 No, I'll assume the best,

00:15:31.740 yeah, about them.

00:15:33.040 No, you have no right

00:15:34.220 to go to anybody

00:15:35.200 and question and be like,

00:15:36.420 are you doing this?

00:15:37.200 No, no, no.

00:15:37.760 What is Islam's position

00:15:38.980 on being a homosexual?

00:15:40.880 On active homosexual?

00:15:42.340 Being actively gay?

00:15:44.180 Practicing the act

00:15:45.000 of being gay?

00:15:45.780 Islam is against that 1.00

00:15:46.740 and we're here

00:15:47.560 as three Muslims

00:15:48.500 we don't disagree with that.

00:15:49.880 Islam is against that. 0.98

00:15:50.960 It's very, very clear.

00:15:51.600 It's outright against that.

00:15:52.620 We have an issue

00:15:53.400 of the way that

00:15:54.540 homosexual... 0.85

00:15:55.560 Someone that's homosexual 1.00

00:15:56.620 is being treated.

00:15:57.820 Yeah, I mean...

00:15:58.380 And it just goes to show you

00:15:59.360 we're not homophobic.

00:16:01.240 It's about...

00:16:02.200 You can't go...

00:16:03.300 Look, I can't go

00:16:04.600 and start looking down

00:16:05.840 and treating homosexual 0.88

00:16:06.880 like, I can't go.

00:16:08.660 Like me, for example,

00:16:09.600 I might disagree with it.

00:16:10.560 Like people...

00:16:11.280 There's other people

00:16:11.760 like you saw that

00:16:12.280 in the first video.

00:16:13.380 Like people...

00:16:13.880 Even though we don't agree

00:16:14.700 with that.

00:16:15.160 Some of them might say,

00:16:15.580 you know what,

00:16:15.760 I think it's wrong.

00:16:16.600 There's Christians and Jews

00:16:17.280 which are trying to say

00:16:17.700 this is absolutely wrong.

00:16:18.940 Yeah?

00:16:19.280 However, you don't go

00:16:20.180 and start belittling

00:16:21.140 and swearing

00:16:22.220 and insulting and treating

00:16:23.160 because look at

00:16:23.900 Lut alayhi salam, yeah?

00:16:25.240 What happened, yeah?

00:16:26.480 What happened with Lut alayhi salam, yeah?

00:16:27.920 He came to those people

00:16:28.640 at that time.

00:16:29.500 Now, obviously,

00:16:30.540 we believe God Almighty

00:16:31.340 destroyed that nation, yeah?

00:16:32.740 Lut alayhi salam,

00:16:36.880 and preach to them

00:16:37.500 and say to them,

00:16:38.320 look, you know, etc.

00:16:39.020 He would offer solutions.

00:16:40.180 On top of that,

00:16:41.360 he offered...

00:16:41.400 Like you said daughter, isn't he?

00:16:42.460 He offered his own daughters

00:16:43.900 in marriage.

00:16:44.240 He said, don't do this.

00:16:45.500 I'll marry my daughters.

00:16:46.840 Yeah?

00:16:47.120 A solution.

00:16:47.740 How many of us as brothers

00:16:48.860 would go to someone

00:16:49.980 who has gay inclinations

00:16:51.040 and say, take my daughter? 0.98

00:16:52.080 And help him.

00:16:52.980 First thing we do

00:16:54.020 is we state the punishment

00:16:55.580 that was done.

00:16:56.240 We don't state

00:16:56.860 what happened before.

00:16:57.760 Like, I'll be honest,

00:16:58.740 even before today,

00:16:59.800 I didn't know this as well.

00:17:01.060 Yeah?

00:17:01.640 And then you guys said this.

00:17:02.940 This is very, very profound.

00:17:04.920 Offering the solution.

00:17:05.900 Telling someone to stop,

00:17:07.200 you know, smoking cigarettes,

00:17:09.500 you have to give them a solution.

00:17:10.720 Yes.

00:17:11.140 Tell them there's this session going on,

00:17:13.740 they take patches,

00:17:14.560 take this, take that.

00:17:15.600 I mean, in Jamaica,

00:17:17.060 Akala was saying that

00:17:18.060 they're very homophobic in Jamaica.

00:17:20.460 But the thing is

00:17:21.560 that they're a majority Christian nation

00:17:23.560 or Rastafarians or whatever.

00:17:25.760 No one ever says

00:17:27.040 that it's because

00:17:28.240 it's written in the Bible.

00:17:29.960 It's because it's in the teacher

00:17:31.620 of the Rasta.

00:17:33.440 Yeah?

00:17:33.900 Or Ja or whatever.

00:17:35.080 Yeah?

00:17:36.020 No one ever says that.

00:17:37.360 You know what the mad thing is?

00:17:38.240 People will associate

00:17:39.140 this behavior

00:17:40.200 with Islam.

00:17:41.640 It's got absolutely

00:17:42.340 nothing to do with it, mate.

00:17:43.480 But do we now believe

00:17:45.280 that we can be

00:17:46.280 homophobic in our behavior?

00:17:48.320 And say,

00:17:48.500 oh, look at this guy,

00:17:49.240 look at this guy.

00:17:49.900 No.

00:17:50.300 This is not from the teachings

00:17:51.220 and the mannerisms

00:17:52.040 of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.

00:17:52.920 And be violent.

00:17:53.500 If a gay man came to 1.00

00:17:55.220 the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:17:56.020 and said,

00:17:57.080 oh, Messenger of Allah,

00:17:58.100 I need help with this.

00:17:59.580 I am acting in this way.

00:18:01.620 Do you think the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:18:02.360 would turn away from him

00:18:03.160 and say,

00:18:03.380 oh, get lost.

00:18:03.980 You're disgusting.

00:18:04.660 This, that.

00:18:05.120 The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:18:05.760 would give him solutions.

00:18:06.760 Because Islam came 1.00

00:18:08.280 to be a solution

00:18:11.040 for our problem.

00:18:12.160 The Prophet Muhammad said,

00:18:14.480 the greatest jihad

00:18:16.180 is to fight the evil

00:18:17.480 within yourself.

00:18:19.200 So, you know what it is?

00:18:20.520 If somebody is gay, 1.00

00:18:22.760 if somebody is gay, 0.63

00:18:23.940 it should be something

00:18:24.720 that they are fighting against,

00:18:26.860 they are trying to improve.

00:18:28.260 And that's what sounds like

00:18:29.000 we're not here to do.

00:18:30.800 If there's one thing

00:18:31.680 I want many Muslims to realize

00:18:33.420 is that people like me

00:18:34.280 are human beings.

00:18:35.540 Okay, we've got our trials

00:18:36.680 that God has given me

00:18:37.620 a test in life.

00:18:38.900 We've given many tests.

00:18:39.640 This is one test

00:18:40.380 that He's given me

00:18:41.140 that I have to live with

00:18:42.560 and try and practice

00:18:43.260 as best as I can.

00:18:44.400 Yeah?

00:18:44.740 But I'm a human being.

00:18:46.340 So, just don't see me

00:18:47.320 as a gay.

00:18:48.300 I am poor.

00:18:48.980 That's my name.

00:18:49.920 You know, I live in a certain place.

00:18:51.300 I have a family and so on.

00:18:52.580 That's what I want to say.

00:18:53.460 But I'm struggling

00:18:54.140 with an issue.

00:18:54.980 It's a test of Allah. 0.85

00:18:56.200 It just happens to me.

00:18:56.920 Now, this gentleman

00:18:57.460 who I don't know many ones

00:18:58.720 may have these

00:19:00.400 very different tests.

00:19:01.660 I have no idea what they are.

00:19:03.140 It's none of your business.

00:19:05.000 What is he saying?

00:19:05.600 What is he saying?

00:19:06.040 Do you have thoughts, though?

00:19:06.720 Do you have thoughts?

00:19:08.060 No!

00:19:08.580 What are you talking about?

00:19:10.140 Okay, are you telling me

00:19:11.280 that you don't have thoughts

00:19:12.040 about females? 0.98

00:19:12.920 The brother, I'm sorry.

00:19:13.680 Yeah, but how are you

00:19:14.240 having homosexuals? 1.00

00:19:15.060 The brother, the Quran says,

00:19:16.420 the Quran says,

00:19:17.100 No, no, no.

00:19:17.480 See you there.

00:19:18.160 Why don't you have this list?

00:19:18.860 No, no, I told you.

00:19:19.960 Sorry.

00:19:20.680 Yeah, good.

00:19:21.340 That guy in the back,

00:19:22.400 he's just biting his nose

00:19:23.460 into everything.

00:19:24.280 What do you see?

00:19:24.980 He's this guy.

00:19:25.560 He's just, he just,

00:19:26.520 he has an issue

00:19:27.040 because we've refuted him

00:19:28.420 many times.

00:19:29.180 So he's just there

00:19:29.920 trying to stir up.

00:19:31.880 The Quran says,

00:19:33.080 you will not be left alone

00:19:36.040 so you probably have your test,

00:19:38.640 we all have our test.

00:19:39.680 I just want us all to see

00:19:40.940 us as brothers together

00:19:42.020 struggling on the way.

00:19:44.180 If someone comes up to you

00:19:45.420 and says,

00:19:46.140 Oh, I'm hooked

00:19:47.420 to this particular drug.

00:19:48.820 What are you going to do?

00:19:49.600 Start judging them,

00:19:50.440 start saying,

00:19:50.800 you're not a Muslim anymore. 0.96

00:19:52.000 Go and do what you're doing.

00:19:53.500 Just don't have thoughts

00:19:54.300 of drugs.

00:19:54.840 And he's like,

00:19:55.160 look, but I can't get rid of it.

00:19:57.040 I mean, imagine if it was

00:19:58.420 your child.

00:19:59.360 Yeah, the thing is

00:20:00.160 with other people,

00:20:01.160 it's different.

00:20:01.940 Exactly, that's my point.

00:20:02.760 Imagine that this guy

00:20:04.260 is your relative.

00:20:05.060 You would speak to him

00:20:06.620 differently.

00:20:07.240 You would do anything

00:20:08.640 to help them

00:20:10.240 to, you know,

00:20:11.940 understand them.

00:20:13.060 Understand,

00:20:13.880 don't reprimand.

00:20:14.920 So that's my position.

00:20:15.960 It is Islamic position.

00:20:16.940 I do my best.

00:20:17.800 He said one

00:20:18.880 very important thing.

00:20:20.100 He's a human being.

00:20:21.840 Yeah.

00:20:22.280 And the fact that

00:20:23.800 you're a sinner, 0.96

00:20:24.640 you're still a human being, bro.

00:20:26.020 Like a story of a companion

00:20:27.720 who came to the Prophet

00:20:28.580 and asked permission

00:20:29.560 to do zina.

00:20:30.540 The Prophet didn't 1.00

00:20:31.740 randomly start saying,

00:20:32.760 Oh, you're getting these thoughts.

00:20:33.840 Why are you getting these thoughts?

00:20:35.220 Da da da da da da.

00:20:36.060 He immediately,

00:20:37.400 he understood him.

00:20:39.400 He gave him that respect

00:20:40.820 and then he spoke to him

00:20:42.860 in a reasonable manner

00:20:43.900 using logic.

00:20:45.340 I'm going to meet you, bro.

00:20:46.260 I'm going to meet you, bro.

00:20:47.020 He's getting married.

00:20:47.720 I'm a brother.

00:20:53.400 It's the same thing.

00:20:55.620 One day, who knows?

00:20:57.320 And smoking is the wrong word.

00:20:58.840 He's got a strong logic.

00:20:59.840 I'm sorry.

00:21:05.980 He just dropped...

00:21:06.800 Forget the mic.

00:21:07.760 He just...

00:21:08.360 Not the mic.

00:21:09.480 You know the sound system.

00:21:10.700 Some woofers, everything.

00:21:11.760 He dropped everything

00:21:13.200 in the whole building.

00:21:14.060 Sound system.

00:21:14.520 Let's just sum it up, yeah?

00:21:15.720 For non-Muslims

00:21:17.480 who are watching, maybe.

00:21:18.460 And for Muslims

00:21:19.220 to understand as well

00:21:20.260 where we're coming from.

00:21:22.220 For Muslims, yeah?

00:21:23.120 Yeah.

00:21:23.620 You have to understand

00:21:24.560 that we all have struggles.

00:21:26.260 Yeah?

00:21:26.400 And when I say struggles,

00:21:27.920 I'm not talking about sins.

00:21:28.820 I'm saying we all struggle, yeah?

00:21:31.060 We all have thoughts.

00:21:32.080 We all have to control ourselves.

00:21:33.900 Your struggle,

00:21:34.880 watching this,

00:21:35.500 might be music.

00:21:36.600 Okay?

00:21:36.940 Every day,

00:21:37.920 you might see your friends

00:21:38.740 listening to music

00:21:39.340 and you're like,

00:21:39.780 oh, I can't...

00:21:41.200 I really want to listen to music.

00:21:43.300 Yeah.

00:21:43.600 Someone else's struggle,

00:21:44.760 they might come from a background

00:21:45.980 where they were committing

00:21:46.780 a lot of zina.

00:21:47.840 That might be zina for them. 0.99

00:21:49.320 Okay?

00:21:49.740 Yeah.

00:21:50.360 Someone else might come

00:21:51.360 from a musical background

00:21:52.460 where they used to make music.

00:21:53.740 That might be a fitna for them. 0.57

00:21:55.080 I know brothers like this.

00:21:56.420 In all of these different scenarios

00:21:57.600 I've mentioned.

00:21:58.240 Of course.

00:21:58.540 And then,

00:21:59.120 someone might come from a background

00:22:00.540 where they were gay 0.88

00:22:01.260 and they were acting upon that.

00:22:02.320 They became Muslim

00:22:03.000 and now they can't

00:22:04.260 keep acting upon that.

00:22:05.680 There's no difference

00:22:06.680 between all of these situations.

00:22:08.620 All of these situations

00:22:09.720 are sins

00:22:10.360 and it's people struggling

00:22:11.980 to not act upon them.

00:22:13.040 Okay?

00:22:13.300 Since I speak bars, yeah?

00:22:15.160 Don't judge somebody

00:22:16.140 just because they sin

00:22:16.920 differently than you.

00:22:18.540 Yeah, that's not yours though.

00:22:19.540 Someone else has said that before.

00:22:20.540 I'm pretty sure

00:22:25.240 someone else has said that before.

00:22:26.980 Violated some major copyrights.

00:22:28.500 Look, so just a quick wrap up

00:22:29.420 for non-Muslim homosexuals

00:22:31.780 and those Muslim homosexuals 1.00

00:22:34.300 who have those tendencies

00:22:35.080 is that look,

00:22:37.020 it's your struggle.

00:22:38.240 You're going to be accountable

00:22:38.960 to God.

00:22:39.720 This is what we believe

00:22:40.220 in our religion.

00:22:41.280 And like I said before,

00:22:42.320 it's the same thing

00:22:42.920 as somebody having

00:22:43.520 an inclination towards women.

00:22:44.780 So if you're a non-Muslim,

00:22:45.960 yes, you can become a Muslim.

00:22:47.500 You can become a Muslim.

00:22:49.200 Yes, you should try

00:22:50.900 to stop the act.

00:22:52.000 Yeah?

00:22:53.040 Because it is a major sin.

00:22:54.420 And that's about it guys.

00:22:55.240 Hope you guys have benefited

00:22:55.960 and hope you have really understood

00:22:57.440 as a Muslim

00:22:58.360 how we react to homosexuals. 0.95
