Ali Dawah - REACTING TO MAJID NAWAZ ATTACKED

00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends.

00:00:29.000 So, I'm going to get straight into it insha'Allah.

00:00:32.460 Majid Nawaz has been attacked in Soho.

00:00:35.680 So this is what he's tweeted.

00:00:36.520 Tonight I was racially attacked while alone outside Soho theatre from behind as I bent down to pick up my phone. 0.98

00:00:43.060 The white male assailant called me a effing paki as he hit me in the face with maybe a signet ring and ran away like a coward. 0.98

00:00:51.960 He took nothing. He was just a racist. 1.00

00:00:55.540 So, basically, another thing that he said, so this was after his treatment, etc. went on. 0.88

00:01:01.600 He said that,

00:01:31.600 I don't know why he keeps repeating that for their professionalism, even though after the kind policeman asked my profession, he did ask, what's LBC?

00:01:40.000 I thank Stephanie Powell, also a white non-Muslim, that's the third time, manager of Hawksmore Seven Dials, who was kind enough to re-bandage my head personally in a restaurant after it became apparent that my wound was still bleeding. 0.50

00:01:54.060 I thank our doctors and nurses, all non-Muslims, both time, who treated me with diligence and care. 1.00

00:02:00.520 Now, let's get something straight.

00:02:02.880 Firstly, I want to make a disclaimer.

00:02:04.720 We are against any kind of acts of violence.

00:02:09.260 Period.

00:02:09.580 But we just want to go a bit further here now.

00:02:12.740 I don't want to come here and just, you know, yeah, you know, we just, you know, condemn, etc.

00:02:16.660 Hold on a second.

00:02:17.260 Let's give a bigger picture.

00:02:19.440 Yeah, we need to not look at the pixel, but we have to look at the picture.

00:02:22.660 Yeah.

00:02:23.360 Then we can maybe understand the pixel.

00:02:25.820 Now, brothers and sisters, this makes it very simple.

00:02:27.560 Yeah.

00:02:29.100 Majid Nawaz is somebody who has tweeted stuff like this, and he is constantly, constantly.

00:02:34.480 He says the same nonsense.

00:02:38.220 This is one of those.

00:02:39.200 We Pakistani Muslim men all know what is believed and taught among conservative members of our community about Western women.

00:02:46.700 Islamists will deny this in deceit. 1.00

00:02:49.540 Leftists will reject this in shock.

00:02:51.600 Populists will use this to hate.

00:02:53.620 Liberals must address this in haste.

00:02:55.860 He even does poetry.

00:02:57.260 MashaAllah.

00:02:59.020 As an Asian man himself, a non-Muslim Asian man, you know, he's got races.

00:03:04.700 Racially got attacked.

00:03:06.920 I want to make something clear.

00:03:08.800 Yeah.

00:03:09.140 Because there's a big irony here.

00:03:11.180 Yeah.

00:03:12.220 The guy who attacked him, if he knew that Majid Nawaz is buddies with Tommy Robinson and supports the far right, to be honest, maybe not directly, indirectly, he may have not even carried that attack out.

00:03:26.200 But then again, the reason why this man carried out this attack is because most likely and maybe he has been listening to LBC.

00:03:36.220 And when you listen to the radio, you do not see the person you're listening to.

00:03:39.720 You only hear the person. 0.94

00:03:41.700 So, therefore, he must have been listening to Majid Nawaz's pathetic excuses and reasons why he attacks and makes grooming gang a Pakistani men issue. 0.96

00:03:52.460 And always constantly attacks Muslims, claiming to be a Muslim, even though we know very clearly that he is not a Muslim in no way, shape or form. 0.95

00:04:01.520 He is constantly pushing this speech forward.

00:04:06.480 He's always talking about this.

00:04:07.760 Now, what's really funny is the following, yeah?

00:04:11.080 When his post, what I read to you, when he talks about non-Muslim ladies, non-Muslim police officer, non-Muslim this, non-Muslim that, he's basically trying to say, maybe, maybe, that's what I'm getting from that message, yeah?

00:04:22.360 Not all non-Muslims are the same. 1.00

00:04:24.440 This was just one non-Muslim that came and did this attack. 0.87

00:04:27.920 Even though we know many attacks have been happening because of the far right, yeah? 0.76

00:04:32.100 Okay, and racist people, yeah?

00:04:33.140 Now, look at the irony. 0.85

00:04:35.500 He's claiming that, look, you know, don't judge them all, but you are the same person who goes and vilifies Asian men to be these groomers who are there out to hunt and attack Islam.

00:04:48.340 Yes, you claim to be a Muslim, but you attack Islam more than probably Tommy Robinson.

00:04:54.020 And then you get surprised when you're grooming, yes, you're actually grooming these men who was most likely, if this man got caught, I would love to ask him a question.

00:05:01.400 Did you listen to LBC, a man called Majid Nawaz?

00:05:04.460 People are like, yeah, you know, that's one of the reasons why I built my hate.

00:05:07.660 Well, guess what, mate?

00:05:08.580 The man you attacked is Majid Nawaz, you know?

00:05:11.620 This is your teacher.

00:05:13.260 You are grooming these people to build hate.

00:05:15.760 They build hate.

00:05:17.220 And this is what exactly Tommy Robinson does.

00:05:18.920 And this is what ISIS does. 0.98

00:05:20.780 They build hate and their foot soldiers carry out their attacks.

00:05:23.780 This is what happens.

00:05:24.640 And now you're surprised?

00:05:26.260 You're upset? 0.76

00:05:27.000 Why did this man come and pick on an Asian man that looks like a Muslim and decided to attack you?

00:05:34.320 You're surprised?

00:05:35.360 You should not be surprised.

00:05:36.700 You are breeding these people.

00:05:38.780 These people are a byproduct of you and the likes of you.

00:05:43.260 So don't come here asking for sympathy.

00:05:45.720 I have no sympathy.

00:05:47.340 I'm sorry.

00:05:47.780 And you are the very same man.

00:05:49.820 When I called LBC and I asked you the atrocities that the Israeli government, the Zionists, not the Jews. 0.96

00:05:58.300 We have a lot of Jewish friends that come to the park.

00:06:00.920 Stanford Hill.

00:06:01.840 There's a lot of Jewish community.

00:06:03.240 I know some people there.

00:06:04.540 We're not talking about the Jews. 0.63

00:06:05.840 We're talking about Zionists. 1.00

00:06:07.560 Yes?

00:06:08.380 These people that you support.

00:06:09.860 And when I rang you and I asked you to condemn Israel for the atrocities of shooting little boys for throwing stones, shooting them with a sniper rifle and killing them, you said no.

00:06:22.560 No, N-O, Israel is not a terrorist state.

00:06:26.080 Is that an answer for you? 0.99

00:06:26.860 Okay, Israel is told to shoot innocent little kids in the head for throwing stones.

00:06:31.800 So I just wanted to ask you because the way you defend Israel, to me it seems like you get paid really well by it.

00:06:37.020 He did not criticize Israel once.

00:06:39.860 I can't nothing.

00:06:41.380 I'm telling them about Israel.

00:06:42.680 People, kids being shot in the head.

00:06:45.120 And he's telling me, oh, let's talk about the stoning thing.

00:06:47.620 The rights of Palestinians, even their children, are wholesale denied and it's appalling.

00:07:02.020 Shame on you.

00:07:03.280 I cannot believe you.

00:07:04.200 Hang on, you can react to my answer.

00:07:05.520 But first agree, I've answered your question.

00:07:07.080 Have I answered your question?

00:07:08.180 A decade ago, where he's staunchly against, he was actually exactly saying what I was saying.

00:07:13.000 Why should we accept a racist occupying a part-time state on Israel?

00:07:18.360 What was it that made this U-turn with him?

00:07:21.580 Is it, Ali, is it that Jews are paying me? 0.74

00:07:25.180 Is that what you're saying?

00:07:26.400 Oh, by the way you're defending them, I would not be surprised if you're getting good amounts.

00:07:30.500 Good amounts from Jews, yeah, Ali? 1.00

00:07:31.860 Are you, no, Israel, I didn't say Jews, I've got Jews.

00:07:35.300 No.

00:07:36.380 And now you're here today.

00:07:38.120 If you're looking for sympathy, you have zero sympathy from me.

00:07:41.320 And a lot of Muslims will agree with me. 0.94

00:07:43.800 You need to stop your hate.

00:07:46.380 Because if you don't, you're going to breed it further. 0.98

00:07:49.580 And it happened to be this racist man, who's probably an Islamophobe, who wanted to carry out an attack and attack an Asian person, it happened to be you. 0.97

00:07:59.600 If it wasn't you, know that it was going to be another Asian man, another Muslim man, whoever it may be. 0.96

00:08:06.900 It might have been a sister.

00:08:08.360 It might have been a Muslim sister. 0.97

00:08:10.620 So, very simply and to the point, is that if you do not carry on, if you carry on with this approach, then do not be surprised if the chickens come home to roost.

00:08:24.420 And like I said before, on his post about non-Muslim, non-Muslim, non-Muslim that he's talking about, then do not generalize and make it seem like all of the Asian people.

00:08:35.520 I'm not Asian, yeah?

00:08:36.780 So I'm not here, you can't say I'm defending, I'm not Asian myself, okay?

00:08:40.380 But to generalize and build hate, this is what's going to happen.

00:08:45.880 And you've clearly said, not every non-Muslim is the same.

00:08:48.660 There are some non-Muslims, a lot of, not some, excuse me, there's a lot of non-Muslims, I know personally, who are lovely people, who are nice people, very, very nice people.

00:09:00.140 And that's how it is.

00:09:01.240 The same goes with a lot of people.

00:09:02.680 It's a minority, like the far-right, far-right extremism.

00:09:06.400 You have some Islamic extremists, like ISIS, yeah?

00:09:10.720 And these people live off each other, they're business partners, yeah?

00:09:13.500 One carries an attack, he says, look, look what they've done to us, let's carry an attack.

00:09:16.120 And then they go, look, this is what they've done to us, and it's going to carry on.

00:09:19.520 This is going to be an endless cycle.

00:09:21.140 I hope you learn a lesson, and you've actually lived it for yourself, what every single one of us go through on a daily basis of thinking, okay, who's going to attack us today?

00:09:31.160 Sisters are feared, are scared to go out on the streets. 1.00

00:09:34.240 Because of why? 1.00

00:09:35.120 Because of your nonsense, your rubbish, yeah? 1.00

00:09:38.520 That you're promoting and spewing out there, and then your foot soldiers, yeah? 1.00

00:09:43.720 Who, you know, score our own goal by attacking their own teacher, yeah?

00:09:48.360 That's what's going to happen if you don't stop.

00:09:51.160 So, hopefully this has taught you a lesson, and you will stop this, and hopefully people can live in peace.

00:09:58.600 And they do not get brainwashed.

00:10:01.100 That was about it, brothers and sisters.

00:10:02.460 It was just a little reaction video.

00:10:03.840 I want to make this very simple and clear.

00:10:04.960 I have no sympathy for this guy, somebody who supports Israel and the atrocities against the Palestinians, yeah?

00:10:12.600 Who did not condemn them once when I said, are they not a terrorist state shooting innocent people? 0.55
