Ali Dawah - The Apology Experiment ｜｜ #rupertapologise

00:00:00.000 As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, brothers and sisters, hope you're all doing well.

00:00:30.660 As you guys know, Rupert Murdoch, who is the owner of many media outlets, has made a ridiculous tweet basically saying that every Muslim should be held responsible for what happened in France and that we should apologise for that.

00:00:45.300 So we thought, okay, if that's how it should be and people should apologise, us Muslims should apologise for that, let's see how when we go to the streets of London and ask certain people to apologise for certain things that certain other people do who they might work in the same sector as.

00:01:00.000 Let's see how that goes.

00:01:01.360 And I was just wondering if I could get an apology from you on behalf of all of McDonald's for all the additives that are put in McDonald's food that cause cancer and heart problems.

00:01:08.640 From me?

00:01:09.640 Yeah.

00:01:09.800 I don't know anything about it, mate. I'm just an employee here.

00:01:14.800 I know, but McDonald's, they put additives in their food that cause cancer and you work for McDonald's, right?

00:01:19.140 Yes, I do work for them, but I don't know anything about the additives and things like that, no. I just, I'm employed by them and I save the food.

00:01:25.500 They shouldn't paint you with the same brush?

00:01:26.880 Well, it depends how you look at it, really.

00:01:30.980 You see, you work for them, you're the one that's giving us all of these foods with these sedatives that have cancer. They're going to cause people to die.

00:01:38.260 But how can that be pinpointed down to me? I know, I understand you want an apology from the McDonald's people and like, people who create the food, but it's not on my behalf, I'm not the one that...

00:01:47.880 I don't know what's going on.

00:01:49.880 Excuse me, madam. Sorry, while you're here, I just wanted to ask you a question. You know what's happening in America regarding the American police and they're shooting like, usually black youngsters. 0.89

00:02:00.880 I was just wondering, as a police officer, can you apologise for what's happening in America?

00:02:04.880 I'm not going to say anything.

00:02:06.880 Okay, but, but, but, okay, but if it was the British police, do you think you apologise?

00:02:10.880 At the moment, I'm dealing with another, I'm dealing with something.

00:02:12.880 Okay, so you think you should not apologise?

00:02:14.880 Can I ask you a quick question?

00:02:15.880 Yeah.

00:02:16.880 Yeah.

00:02:17.880 Okay, do you know all the accidents that are happening because of motorcyclists?

00:02:19.880 Yeah.

00:02:20.880 Can you apologise for that, please?

00:02:22.880 Do you think you should apologise for that?

00:02:23.880 No.

00:02:24.880 But why not?

00:02:25.880 Because I haven't made anything back.

00:02:27.880 Okay.

00:02:28.880 It don't cause any problems, I don't see why I have to apologise.

00:02:31.880 To apologise for every black crime that takes place. 1.00

00:02:34.880 Do you think that, do you think you should apologise?

00:02:37.880 No, because I didn't commit them.

00:02:39.880 Okay, but the thing I can come and say, but you're black and so are they.

00:02:43.880 Yeah, but it's still...

00:02:44.880 Okay.

00:02:45.880 Okay.

00:02:46.880 Yeah, I still don't see the sense in that though.

00:02:47.880 If you do something, then you apologise for it.

00:02:49.880 You can't apologise for the whole nation.

00:02:51.880 Aye, lamppost.

00:02:52.880 Aye, wagwan.

00:02:53.880 Wagwan, bruv.

00:02:54.880 Last night I was walking down my road and you, one of your pigeons on my road wasn't on.

00:02:59.880 It was dark.

00:03:00.880 And I needed the light.

00:03:01.880 And I couldn't see.

00:03:02.880 And there was no light.

00:03:03.880 So I fell over and I hurt myself.

00:03:05.880 Are you going to apologise to me?

00:03:06.880 Are you just going to look there, just shining on me like that, yeah?

00:03:14.880 Waste man.

00:03:15.880 You're riding a bicycle, right?

00:03:16.880 Yeah.

00:03:17.880 Okay.

00:03:18.880 As you know, some bicyclists are careless.

00:03:20.880 Right.

00:03:21.880 And they cause a lot of accidents.

00:03:22.880 Yeah.

00:03:23.880 Can I ask you to apologise on behalf of them?

00:03:25.880 Well, why should I apologise?

00:03:27.880 Because you're driving a bike and so are they.

00:03:29.880 Do you think you should apologise for that?

00:03:30.880 What, for just being reckless on the road?

00:03:33.880 No, just being a bicyclist.

00:03:34.880 No, I don't think so.

00:03:35.880 But I live in an area where I see loads of the racing bikes because I live near the park.

00:03:41.880 Okay.

00:03:42.880 And they're an absolute menace.

00:03:43.880 Okay.

00:03:44.880 They are an absolute menace, but I'm not one of them.

00:03:47.880 Hi.

00:03:48.880 Hello.

00:03:49.880 How are you?

00:03:50.880 You okay?

00:03:51.880 I'm good, how are you?

00:03:52.880 I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.

00:03:53.880 Basically, I feel really awkward.

00:03:55.880 Basically, I stayed in a travel lodge about seven, eight months ago.

00:04:00.880 And I actually got bed bugs.

00:04:02.880 So I was wondering if I could get an apology from you.

00:04:05.880 Okay.

00:04:06.880 What room did you stay in?

00:04:07.880 It wasn't in this hotel.

00:04:08.880 Oh, it wasn't in this hotel?

00:04:09.880 It was in another travel lodge.

00:04:10.880 Oh, okay.

00:04:11.880 Have you contacted them?

00:04:12.880 No.

00:04:13.880 Okay.

00:04:14.880 So I was just wondering, I just, because you know, you work for travel lodge.

00:04:18.880 If I could get an apology, it would be very nice.

00:04:20.880 Well, you'd need to speak to the hotel directly.

00:04:23.880 You don't think that you deserve, I deserve an apology from you?

00:04:27.880 Not from me personally or this hotel, but definitely from that hotel, yeah.

00:04:30.880 May I ask why?

00:04:32.880 Because it wasn't here that you stayed.

00:04:35.880 But it's travel lodge.

00:04:36.880 Yeah, but it's still individual hotels.

00:04:39.880 But shouldn't I paint you over the same brush?

00:04:42.880 No.

00:04:43.880 Why?

00:04:44.880 Because we obviously have higher standards, that wouldn't happen here.

00:04:49.880 Okay.

00:04:50.880 Basically, you know that incident that happened two years ago in America, in a Batman movie,

00:04:53.880 where some guy went in and started shooting people?

00:04:55.880 Right.

00:04:56.880 Okay.

00:04:57.880 We're just wondering if you can apologise for that?

00:04:58.880 Because you're a cinema and that was a cinema as well.

00:05:00.880 Right.

00:05:01.880 Can you apologise for that event that took place?

00:05:04.880 And you didn't have enough caution in place?

00:05:06.880 I'm not really sure it was my place to apologise for something that happened in a different country.

00:05:10.880 But don't you work in the cinema?

00:05:12.880 I work in this cinema, yeah.

00:05:14.880 I didn't work in the one over there.

00:05:17.880 Okay, but still you're a cinema, aren't you?

00:05:19.880 Yeah, but not in America.

00:05:21.880 Okay, so you don't think you should apologise?

00:05:23.880 For...

00:05:24.880 The killing that happened in that movie?

00:05:26.880 You think I should apologise for a guy...

00:05:28.880 Yeah, because you work in the cinema?

00:05:30.880 I...no.

00:05:31.880 Do you think you're on apology to the British public?

00:05:35.880 No, I don't think so.

00:05:36.880 But you're Caucasian? 0.97

00:05:38.880 But I haven't...

00:05:40.880 I haven't, like, tried to rape someone.

00:05:42.880 Yeah, but you're Caucasian. 0.99

00:05:45.880 It doesn't make a difference to me.

00:05:47.880 Basically, man, I'm really just upset with Tesco.

00:05:51.880 Right.

00:05:52.880 Because when I go to Asda, Asda always has these competitive prices.

00:05:56.880 And Asda's always helping me make savings.

00:05:58.880 You know, every little helps.

00:05:59.880 That's what you guys say.

00:06:00.880 No.

00:06:01.880 But Asda's the one that helped me save them little pennies, man.

00:06:03.880 Do you think that you deserve to give me...

00:06:04.880 Do you think I deserve to get an apology from you?

00:06:06.880 No.

00:06:07.880 No.

00:06:08.880 No. Why?

00:06:09.880 No, I prefer...I prefer Tesco, yeah.

00:06:12.880 You sure?

00:06:13.880 Yeah.

00:06:14.880 100%?

00:06:15.880 100%.

00:06:16.880 You guys sell ice cream, right?

00:06:17.880 Yeah.

00:06:18.880 Can I ask you one question?

00:06:19.880 Yeah.

00:06:20.880 You see, ice cream is, like, a big cause for diabetes, right?

00:06:23.880 Yeah.

00:06:24.880 So, can I get you to apologise for selling ice cream because you might be causing diabetes?

00:06:29.880 No.

00:06:30.880 No?

00:06:31.880 No.

00:06:32.880 But it causes diabetes, though.

00:06:33.880 Yeah, but this is my job.

00:06:34.880 I don't choose to sell ice cream.

00:06:35.880 I had fried chicken in KFC.

00:06:37.880 Yeah?

00:06:38.880 But it wasn't cooked properly.

00:06:39.880 So, I was saying...

00:06:40.880 You went to KFC.

00:06:41.880 This is not KFC.

00:06:42.880 Yeah.

00:06:43.880 Yeah, but you sell chicken.

00:06:44.880 Yeah, I do sell chicken.

00:06:45.880 So, why would I apologise on behalf of KFC?

00:06:47.880 Because you sell chicken.

00:06:49.880 Do you think you owe me an apology?

00:06:52.880 Because you went to KFC?

00:06:53.880 Yeah, I ate chicken.

00:06:54.880 And you sell chicken.

00:06:55.880 Muslim is a Muslim.

00:06:56.880 Chicken is a chicken.

00:06:57.880 Yes, exactly.

00:06:58.880 I was scaring on babes.

00:06:59.880 What are you saying?

00:07:00.880 You're right, yeah?

00:07:01.880 Listen, I was just going to say, like, you want to apologise for being such a fit now and

00:07:07.880 that.

00:07:08.880 Being a little hot here and that.

00:07:09.880 You want to say sorry for distracting all of us men out here?

00:07:14.880 Okay.

00:07:18.880 No?

00:07:21.880 As you know, certain females abort their child. 1.00

00:07:24.880 Yeah?

00:07:25.880 Are you aware of that?

00:07:26.880 Yeah, yeah.

00:07:27.880 So, I was just wondering, as a female, can you apologise for what they're doing?

00:07:30.880 Apologise for them aborting?

00:07:32.880 Yes.

00:07:33.880 There's certain...

00:07:34.880 Sorry?

00:07:35.880 On those who are aborting?

00:07:36.880 Yeah, those women who abort their child. 1.00

00:07:38.880 What are my views concerning them?

00:07:40.880 No, no, no, not your views.

00:07:41.880 I want you to apologise for what they're doing.

00:07:43.880 Why would I apologise?

00:07:44.880 Because you're a female. 1.00

00:07:45.880 Yeah, but what?

00:07:46.880 No, because I feel that everyone takes, like, is responsible for their own actions.

00:07:51.880 Okay, but they're...

00:07:53.880 If you were to commit an offence, for example, I'm not going to have to apologise for the

00:07:57.880 wrong that you've done.

00:07:58.880 So, that's what, that's my view.

00:08:00.880 Okay, so you're telling me...

00:08:02.880 Okay, you're telling me...

00:08:03.880 Sorry, I apologise.

00:08:04.880 Okay, you're telling me they're females, you are also female, you should apologise. 0.98

00:08:08.880 No, because then that's just generalising everyone.

00:08:11.880 Thank you.

00:08:12.880 Thank you.

00:08:13.880 Basically, we're just raising awareness.

00:08:14.880 I'm sure you've heard about what happened in Paris last week.

00:08:16.880 Yes.

00:08:17.880 Basically, you know Rupert Murdoch?

00:08:19.880 Er...

00:08:20.880 I've heard the name.

00:08:21.880 Okay, well he's an idiot in the media.

00:08:22.880 Basically, he made a really bold statement saying that all the Muslims need to apologise 0.99

00:08:27.880 for what happened in Paris, even though they were criminals that were from the Muslim community,

00:08:32.880 but they don't represent Islam.

00:08:33.880 Okay.

00:08:34.880 But obviously, they were, you know, he's in the media trying to say all Muslims need to apologise.

00:08:37.880 So, we're just trying to show the double standard, you know, like...

00:08:39.880 Okay.

00:08:40.880 You shouldn't have to...

00:08:41.880 You understand what I'm saying?

00:08:42.880 Yeah, definitely.

00:08:43.880 So, we don't have to apologise, do we?

00:08:44.880 No.

00:08:45.880 Thank you.

00:08:46.880 Fantastic.

00:08:47.880 Take care of yourself.

00:08:48.880 So brothers and sisters, as you saw with your own eyes and heard it with your own ears,

00:08:51.880 a lot of people found it really stupid to apologise for something that they're not blameworthy of.

00:08:56.880 And it's the same thing with us Muslims.

00:08:58.880 We should not apologise for certain individuals who do certain things under the name of Islam.

00:09:03.880 So, I think we should ask for Rupert Murdoch to apologise for even making such a ridiculous tweet that we should apologise.

00:09:12.880 So, obviously, we would like you guys to take the course of action, which is the following.

00:09:16.880 To tweet Rupert Murdoch and ask him for an apology for his ridiculous statement.

00:09:22.880 Please hashtag Rupert apologise and make it go viral.

00:09:26.880 And inshallah he will get the message and will come with an apology.

00:09:29.880 So brothers and sisters, make sure it goes viral.

00:09:32.880 And on top of that, please share the videos as much as you can.

00:09:35.880 And inshallah you guys have benefited and enjoyed the video.

00:09:37.880 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

00:09:40.880 We're talking about Rupert Murdoch.

00:09:42.880 Yes.

00:09:43.880 OK, in my opinion, Rupert Murdoch is an absolute idiot.

00:09:46.880 He is just ridiculous and I apologise for white Christians and I'm Jewish for Christ's sake.

00:09:53.880 Rupert Murdoch, you're wrong.

00:09:55.880 You're wrong.

00:09:56.880 You're wrong.

00:09:57.880 You're wrong.

00:09:58.880 You're wrong.
