00:00:20.760 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends
00:00:26.180 Hope you guys are well inshallah
00:00:26.940 Do I condemn the attacks against Salman Rushdie?
00:00:32.620 That's the first question that's usually asked a Muslim
00:00:34.060 Do you condemn? You, yes you, do you condemn?
00:00:37.140 Yeah?
00:00:38.240 Brothers and sisters, let's break this down
00:00:40.360 Let's look at the elephant in the room
00:00:42.540 I want to ask a simple question
00:00:45.260 I asked this to Cosmic Skeptic
00:00:47.620 Yeah? The little boy
00:00:49.260 Yeah?
00:00:50.460 The same question
00:00:51.400 And I want to break it down to you guys so you can understand
00:00:54.380 This phenomena
00:00:55.780 It's a phenomena
00:00:56.960 That we as Muslims and Islam is being accused of being intolerant against freedom of speech
00:01:03.640 That we cannot deal with criticism 0.69
00:01:06.000 And Islam is so weak that anyone that criticizes you know we crumble
00:01:09.480 Let's look at this phenomena 0.96
00:01:11.020 I want to ask a simple question
00:01:12.180 You guys might know or not know
00:01:13.780 In Turkey, you know, one of its founders or heroes should we say is Atatürk
00:01:17.600 Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
00:01:18.740 I'm Kurdish Turk
00:01:19.740 I know of him
00:01:21.000 If I was to write a book about Atatürk
00:01:23.360 And I was to insult his mum, his dad, his daughter, his son, his granddad
00:01:28.620 If I was to do this
00:01:29.960 And I saw these books
00:01:30.800 Do you agree with me
00:01:33.100 That Turkey as a country 1.00
00:01:37.680 And the people within itself
00:01:39.240 Within it living there
00:01:41.000 Do you think there will be uprisings?
00:01:43.220 Yes, they would be
00:01:43.880 Do you think they'll be upset?
00:01:45.120 Yes, they'll be
00:01:45.660 Do you think a faction of Turkish people
00:01:48.360 Would want to come together and execute me?
00:01:51.420 Yes 0.90
00:01:51.760 It's basic human psychology
00:01:54.080 To be upset to a person that you love
00:01:58.320 Okay, good
00:01:59.260 Let's move on
00:01:59.760 I'm Kurdish myself
00:02:00.800 I was involved with certain political things when I was young
00:02:05.000 My dad was also
00:02:05.820 My family was deeply
00:02:06.660 And when Abdullah Öcalan
00:02:08.380 Which is one of the leaders of the PKK
00:02:10.240 He was arrested and taken to Turkey
00:02:13.960 And now he's actually in an island
00:02:15.300 There was people that I knew
00:02:17.420 Yes, where we would go to certain protests
00:02:19.160 Which were one of those I didn't attend
00:02:20.440 Like I was too young
00:02:21.560 They went and set their self on fire
00:02:23.680 Let's put this into perspective
00:02:24.840 They put petrol over their self
00:02:26.100 And they set their self on fire in central London
00:02:28.280 This was all over the news
00:02:29.100 These people were ready to set their self
00:02:31.720 I mean
00:02:32.060 I don't know who you love that much 0.94
00:02:33.800 But subhanAllah to set yourself on fire 1.00
00:02:35.000 It's a whole different level
00:02:36.440 Now let's put this into perspective
00:02:38.020 If I was to write a book
00:02:39.760 Against Abdullah Öcalan
00:02:41.460 The head of the PKK group
00:02:43.060 The Kurdish group, yeah
00:02:43.720 And I was to insult him
00:02:46.400 And there's a lot of Kurds that live in London
00:02:48.520 A lot of Kurds
00:02:49.800 I promise you
00:02:51.060 I promise you
00:02:52.040 I will not be alive for two weeks
00:02:55.380 In two weeks
00:02:56.460 I'll be done
00:02:57.360 Because there's a lot of Kurdish gangs 0.99
00:02:58.260 And mafia, etc
00:02:58.980 They would get rid of me like this
00:03:01.200 Now
00:03:02.260 Let me give you another example
00:03:04.240 And I'll give many examples
00:03:05.060 If I was to go to Russia
00:03:06.520 And I was to insult Putin
00:03:07.860 And wrote a book about Putin
00:03:08.840 Yeah
00:03:09.220 You guys get the point
00:03:10.060 If I was to walk in Russia 0.92
00:03:11.420 And I said
00:03:11.660 Look, I'm selling my book today
00:03:12.600 Do you think
00:03:13.740 I will be surprised
00:03:15.280 If a Russian spy 0.57
00:03:17.060 Or somebody just took a gun out
00:03:18.120 And went bang 0.97
00:03:18.620 And shot me in the head 0.99
00:03:19.300 The point I'm trying to say 0.83
00:03:21.960 Is the following
00:03:22.400 Every individual
00:03:24.440 Be it the secularists
00:03:25.880 Be it the nationalists
00:03:27.580 Be it the religious people
00:03:29.340 Any group that you look at
00:03:31.420 If they have someone that they love
00:03:33.360 They would go to levels
00:03:35.540 Some may condemn it
00:03:37.260 Some may say
00:03:37.640 You know what
00:03:37.920 We condemn it
00:03:38.840 We condemn it
00:03:40.020 We don't want violence
00:03:40.780 But we condemn this
00:03:41.580 A small fraction of them
00:03:42.900 Might say
00:03:43.140 You know what
00:03:43.460 No actually 0.99
00:03:43.780 We want this guy killed 1.00
00:03:44.900 We want him beheaded 1.00
00:03:45.940 We want him finished 0.99
00:03:47.080 Now why is it
00:03:49.300 That this phenomena
00:03:51.140 That Muslims 1.00
00:03:52.400 And Islam
00:03:53.240 Is the only religion 0.99
00:03:54.120 Which study do you have
00:03:55.800 That has been carried out
00:03:57.080 Cross-culturally 0.66
00:03:57.720 Around the world
00:03:58.660 That shows us
00:04:00.000 And tells us
00:04:00.860 That you know what
00:04:01.360 We've done a cross-cultural examination
00:04:02.880 We went to different nations
00:04:04.480 And different groups
00:04:05.100 And different colours
00:04:05.680 And different races
00:04:06.320 All of them said
00:04:07.840 They have no problem
00:04:08.940 We've been insulted against
00:04:10.720 A person that they may have loved
00:04:12.580 Has been
00:04:13.300 Attacked
00:04:15.760 And all of them said
00:04:16.820 We would have no problem
00:04:17.960 We'll be okay with this
00:04:18.860 No problem
00:04:19.620 Carry an insult
00:04:20.360 It will help you insult it
00:04:21.260 If this hasn't been carried out
00:04:23.760 Why the double standards
00:04:25.380 And the hypocrisy
00:04:26.180 And this goes back to
00:04:27.960 Salman Rushdie
00:04:29.180 The point is the same
00:04:32.520 Wherever you go
00:04:34.040 Wherever you go
00:04:35.840 You will see the same results
00:04:37.300 Because you're dealing with
00:04:38.320 Human beings
00:04:39.520 And some human beings
00:04:41.040 Get upset
00:04:41.780 And take the frustration out
00:04:43.540 Frustration out
00:04:44.200 By swearing at the person
00:04:45.320 That does this
00:04:45.840 Some go to the level
00:04:47.220 Of blackmailing
00:04:48.840 Not blackmailing
00:04:49.560 Threatening
00:04:50.180 Writing letters
00:04:50.940 And some go down the route
00:04:52.720 Of trying to kill
00:04:53.860 The person themselves
00:04:54.880 Why is it different
00:04:56.980 With Islam? 0.99
00:04:58.640 The question that needs
00:04:59.660 To be asked is
00:05:00.340 Not do you condemn it
00:05:01.700 What is the difference
00:05:04.400 With Islam 0.66
00:05:05.360 And Muslims? 0.98
00:05:06.680 That is the question
00:05:08.800 That I want to ask
00:05:09.760 And this is the key
00:05:11.980 Question here
00:05:13.300 Brothers and sisters
00:05:13.820 Until you answer
00:05:15.560 That question
00:05:16.240 Don't come to us 0.98
00:05:17.780 And dare
00:05:18.580 To say
00:05:19.580 Do you condemn it?
00:05:21.440 And like
00:05:21.760 Douglas Murray said
00:05:22.980 When the Christchurch attack
00:05:24.680 Happened
00:05:24.960 What did he say?
00:05:25.800 He said
00:05:26.040 We cannot blame anybody
00:05:27.200 But the perpetrator
00:05:28.100 Okay
00:05:28.980 As a Muslim
00:05:29.560 You're asking me
00:05:30.080 Ask me the question
00:05:30.720 Do I
00:05:31.260 Do I
00:05:32.040 Condemn?
00:05:33.460 The only one
00:05:34.140 That's responsible
00:05:34.640 For this attack
00:05:35.360 Is the assailant himself
00:05:36.420 I want to be in line
00:05:37.960 With my dear friend
00:05:38.520 Douglas Murray
00:05:39.080 Yes
00:05:39.700 Who's advocate
00:05:40.300 For freedom of speech
00:05:40.980 But tried to stop
00:05:41.740 All the Muslim speakers
00:05:42.320 From speaking to universities 1.00
00:05:43.200 Bloody hypocrite moron 1.00
00:05:44.420 Yeah fool 1.00
00:05:45.040 That's it 0.98
00:05:46.100 That's all I have to say
00:05:46.640 Brothers and sisters
00:05:47.080 This is the bigger question
00:05:48.100 And I challenge anybody
00:05:49.380 Anyone
00:05:50.240 To come to
00:05:50.960 Speaker's Corner
00:05:51.400 And debate me
00:05:52.620 On this topic
00:05:53.160 Of this phenomenon
00:05:54.780 That I talked about
00:05:55.940 Until then 0.99
00:05:56.780 Shut your mouth 1.00
00:05:57.700 And don't come 1.00
00:05:59.100 And tell us
00:06:00.040 That as Muslims 0.99
00:06:00.740 That Islam is intolerant 1.00
00:06:01.800 Come to me 0.99
00:06:02.580 And bring the evidence
00:06:03.300 Of this cross-cultural
00:06:04.080 Examination
00:06:05.000 This big study
00:06:05.540 That was done
00:06:05.840 Cross-culturally 0.66
00:06:06.320 Around the world
00:06:06.980 Around the globe
00:06:07.760 That everybody was okay
00:06:09.060 All kinds of groups
00:06:09.700 And races were okay
00:06:10.380 With except Muslims 1.00
00:06:11.060 Till then 1.00
00:06:11.640 Shut your mouth 1.00
00:06:12.220 Like my dear friend 1.00
00:06:13.380 Says Muhammad Hijab
00:06:14.000 You're finished
00:06:16.180 I still know
00:06:17.660 Some brothers and sisters
00:06:18.120 And guess what
00:06:18.880 Oh yeah
00:06:19.180 Just to finish on this note
00:06:19.900 Since we're on this topic
00:06:21.940 Inshallah brothers and sisters
