00:00:00.000 Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh brothers and sisters and dear friends welcome to my channel
00:00:04.160 Hope you guys are doing well
00:00:05.280 Obviously you guys might be aware of the last vegas shooting that happened about a day ago two days ago
00:00:10.120 What we did is we thought you know what obviously it's a tragic event and this tragic event has happened all over the world
00:00:14.900 It's happening in Burma right now
00:00:17.140 It's happening all over the world it's happening it's all madness
00:00:20.120 But the thing that we wanted to highlight as well
00:00:22.760 Besides the tragic event is that how the media once again
00:00:27.600 The bias that they're using and calling this individual a wolf, a lone wolf, a killer, a crazed man or whatever it may be
00:00:35.580 So what we thought is let's go to the streets of London and speak to some people
00:00:38.820 And get their take on it and ask them if this was a Muslim who committed this act
00:00:42.260 How would it have been?
00:00:44.640 Like you know would it have been indifferent and why is that the case?
00:00:47.580 So let's go and find out
00:00:48.700 Do you know what happened yesterday in Las Vegas?
00:00:50.620 Uh yeah
00:00:51.120 If the perpetrator was a Muslim how do you think the headlines would have been?
00:00:54.940 The same?
00:00:55.500 Hopefully
00:00:57.500 Hopefully yes it would have been nice
00:00:59.500 But do you really think that would have been the case?
00:01:00.500 I don't know
00:01:01.500 You know what happened yesterday?
00:01:02.500 What happened?
00:01:03.500 In Las Vegas
00:01:04.500 No
00:01:05.500 Oh there was a mass shooting
00:01:06.500 Okay 0.99
00:01:07.500 Yeah and this guy is a killer 0.99
00:01:08.500 Yeah 1.00
00:01:09.500 He's a white guy
00:01:10.500 Uh huh
00:01:11.500 If this was a Muslim what do you think the heading would be? 0.98
00:01:13.500 You know what term is my brother mate
00:01:14.500 You know what term is
00:01:15.500 What do you think the headlines would be if this guy was a Muslim guy?
00:01:19.500 He's a Muslim guy 1.00
00:01:20.500 He's a terrorist 1.00
00:01:21.500 He's a terrorist 1.00
00:01:22.500 He's a terrorist 1.00
00:01:23.500 He's a terrorist 0.98
00:01:24.500 Because the United States have tried to claim this 0.90
00:01:26.500 Yeah
00:01:27.500 Yeah
00:01:28.500 Like Islam like 1.00
00:01:29.500 Yeah 1.00
00:01:30.500 That's bull**** 0.99
00:01:31.500 Straight away 0.99
00:01:32.500 I was saying to say like 0.99
00:01:33.500 Even if he wasn't Muslim if he was like black 1.00
00:01:35.500 Or like something like that 0.99
00:01:36.500 Straight away they're saying he's a terrorist 0.96
00:01:37.500 But you know it's come out that he's got a mental illness or something 0.98
00:01:40.500 Like 0.99
00:01:41.500 I mean if he's not a Muslim 0.99
00:01:42.500 Yeah 0.96
00:01:43.500 Or maybe if he's not black 1.00
00:01:44.500 He's a terrorist 1.00
00:01:45.500 He's a terrorist 0.99
00:01:46.500 So why do you think that is?
00:01:47.500 Why do you think this double standard is in place?
00:01:49.500 Because of the racist governments that we have like
00:01:52.500 First of all they've got Donald Trump in America
00:01:54.500 Yeah 0.99
00:01:55.500 Who's straight away a fascist xenophobic 0.94
00:01:56.500 Yeah 0.98
00:01:57.500 Like
00:01:58.500 He doesn't like people for not being American like 0.96
00:02:00.500 And then he doesn't like people for being Muslim, black, Mexican, whatever 0.92
00:02:04.500 Because of that it's leaning towards the white community first like
00:02:07.500 I personally feel like white privilege but I also feel guilt for being white
00:02:13.500 In these situations like
00:02:15.500 Wow
00:02:16.500 Even in a society where inherently like without even thinking about it 0.98
00:02:20.500 A white life costs more than a black or a Muslim life 1.00
00:02:24.500 You know what that's very powerful what you just said there man 0.96
00:02:27.500 It's very true
00:02:28.500 Thank you guys for taking your time out to speak anyway man
00:02:30.500 Look after yourself
00:02:31.500 If that was a Muslim 1.00
00:02:32.500 What do you think they would have said? 0.99
00:02:33.500 Terrorist
00:02:34.500 Huh?
00:02:35.500 Terrorist
00:02:36.500 Why is that?
00:02:37.500 That's how they're really trying to portray it
00:02:38.500 Erm
00:02:39.500 You can
00:02:40.500 You know it says killer
00:02:41.500 Yeah? 0.98
00:02:42.500 If this was a Muslim 0.99
00:02:43.500 What do you think 0.87
00:02:44.500 Terrorist
00:02:45.500 Why?
00:02:46.500 Because there is
00:02:47.500 What's the difference between this guy and those guys?
00:02:50.500 Besides one of them shouting Allahu Akbar
00:02:52.500 What's the difference?
00:02:53.500 Nothing
00:02:54.500 We're just wondering if the perpetrator was a Muslim
00:02:56.500 How do you think the headline would have been?
00:02:58.500 What word do you think they would use instead of killer?
00:03:00.500 Terrorist
00:03:01.500 Why?
00:03:02.500 Fear mongering and because of the Western world intolerant like Eastern ideas like Islam and just general misrepresentations of what Islam is
00:03:13.500 But see this headline here in today's newspaper it says killer amassed arsenal of 42 guns
00:03:18.500 Yeah
00:03:19.500 What do you think the headlines would be if a Muslim done such a thing? 1.00
00:03:21.500 If it were Muslim I think they would start with Muslim killer 1.00
00:03:24.500 Muslim killer 1.00
00:03:25.500 Yeah 1.00
00:03:26.500 Muslim killer yeah 1.00
00:03:27.500 Yeah I want you to know that I was Muslim 0.99
00:03:28.500 That's like a double standard from the media's perspective
00:03:30.500 Right
00:03:31.500 Don't even start about the media there all these years
00:03:32.500 But this is the minimum standard right
00:03:33.500 I want to ask you a question
00:03:34.500 You know what happened yesterday?
00:03:35.500 Yes
00:03:36.500 What happened?
00:03:37.500 There was a shooting
00:03:38.500 You know that yeah?
00:03:39.500 Yeah
00:03:40.500 If the perpetrator was a non
00:03:42.500 If he was a Muslim 0.99
00:03:43.500 Oh I'm aware that only brown people can be terrorists 0.99
00:03:45.500 Yeah yeah 0.95
00:03:46.500 What do you think the title would have been?
00:03:47.500 Oh it would have been well
00:03:49.500 They'd be looking for any evidence that he's a Muslim
00:03:51.500 They'd be searching
00:03:52.500 I don't know what they do 0.97
00:03:53.500 Like white people can't be terrorists in like the UK 0.95
00:03:55.500 Yeah 0.99
00:03:56.500 Sadly
00:03:57.500 It's a shame
00:03:58.500 This guy
00:03:59.500 This guy is the guy that done the killings
00:04:00.500 Now if you look at this headline
00:04:01.500 Killer amassed arsenal of 42 guns before unleashing deadly spree
00:04:06.500 What do you think the headlines would be?
00:04:07.500 I think I know where you were going
00:04:09.500 This guy was a Muslim
00:04:10.500 Yeah 1.00
00:04:11.500 Terrorist
00:04:12.500 Ah yeah 1.00
00:04:13.500 Terrorist killer 1.00
00:04:14.500 Obviously
00:04:15.500 So why do you think that the headlines are so different
00:04:18.500 When like
00:04:20.500 White privilege 0.52
00:04:21.500 Like a white guy has done it
00:04:23.500 Because like 0.98
00:04:24.500 White supremacist 0.98
00:04:25.500 And his race is never mentioned 0.99
00:04:26.500 His religion
00:04:27.500 You know this shooting is one of the deadliest shootings
00:04:30.500 In the US
00:04:31.500 In American history
00:04:32.500 Yeah I used to live in the US
00:04:34.500 Outside my school there was a police car all day
00:04:37.500 Just in case someone was going to do something
00:04:40.500 Because the media has double standards 0.98
00:04:42.500 When it comes to white killers 1.00
00:04:44.500 White terrorists 1.00
00:04:45.500 This same day 0.99
00:04:46.500 There was killings taking place
00:04:47.500 In another part of the world
00:04:48.500 In Burma
00:04:49.500 I heard
00:04:50.500 They're happening generally everyday
00:04:52.500 So I mean
00:04:53.500 In Burma
00:04:54.500 The Rohingya
00:04:55.500 The Rohingya
00:04:56.500 Yeah exactly
00:04:57.500 Oh yeah yeah yeah
00:04:58.500 Supposed
00:04:59.500 So I'm actually surprised that you know
00:05:01.500 Because there's a lot of people that actually don't know about this
00:05:03.500 It might help that we're international relations students
00:05:05.500 We're into
00:05:07.500 Okay guys so
00:05:08.500 So you've seen it for yourself
00:05:09.500 Now what I want to do is
00:05:10.500 I didn't get much good conversation
00:05:12.500 But Musa got into a bit of a good conversation
00:05:13.500 Yeah
00:05:14.500 With...
00:05:15.500 How did that go?
00:05:16.500 Like how did that change your perspective?
00:05:17.500 You know what bro?
00:05:18.500 I mean I'm sure you guys saw the conversations for yourself
00:05:20.500 So I'm not going to talk too much about
00:05:21.500 What we discussed yeah?
00:05:22.500 Because you know we already saw it
00:05:24.500 You really saw it
00:05:25.500 But one thing that made me feel happy
00:05:27.500 Yeah
00:05:28.500 And a little bit better
00:05:29.500 About what's going on in the world
00:05:31.500 Is that there are certain people
00:05:33.500 That aren't necessarily Muslims 1.00
00:05:34.500 That do notice these things
00:05:37.500 Sometimes you know on our social medias
00:05:39.500 As Muslim public figures
00:05:40.500 And other Muslim you know popular pages
00:05:42.500 On Instagram and what not
00:05:44.500 We're always talking about this
00:05:45.500 The double standards of the media
00:05:46.500 Look at this 0.75
00:05:47.500 Look at the hypocrisy
00:05:48.500 What not 0.99
00:05:49.500 It's always Muslims talking about it 1.00
00:05:50.500 But it was nice bro
00:05:51.500 To see you know
00:05:52.500 You know some people
00:05:54.500 That look like normal people
00:05:55.500 That aren't necessarily Muslim 1.00
00:05:57.500 Talking about this
00:05:58.500 Saying yes I've seen the double standards
00:06:00.500 There was one guy
00:06:01.500 I mean I'm sure you guys saw it
00:06:02.500 Who actually said to me
00:06:03.500 He was an...
00:06:04.500 He seemed like an English guy
00:06:06.500 But he was white 0.71
00:06:07.500 He was a white guy
00:06:08.500 And he goes
00:06:10.500 I feel...
00:06:11.500 I feel so much white privilege
00:06:13.500 In this day and age
00:06:15.500 I feel it so much
00:06:16.500 That I actually feel ashamed to be white
00:06:19.500 So like...
00:06:20.500 It's like there are people out there guys
00:06:22.500 That do understand what we go through
00:06:25.500 And there are people out there
00:06:26.500 That do understand the double standards
00:06:27.500 So...
00:06:29.500 On our part
00:06:30.500 One thing that I do want to say
00:06:31.500 Is that when you go out there
00:06:32.500 And you see...
00:06:34.500 English people
00:06:35.500 People that aren't wearing the hijab 0.96
00:06:36.500 Or what not
00:06:37.500 Don't just generalize them
00:06:39.500 The way they just...
00:06:40.500 The way the media generalize us
00:06:41.500 You know
00:06:42.500 We need to think that
00:06:43.500 You know what
00:06:44.500 There are people that understand us
00:06:45.500 And what not
00:06:46.500 And we need to approach it like that
00:06:47.500 So when we talk to someone
00:06:48.500 You don't need to necessarily approach everyone
00:06:50.500 Like everyone out there is your enemy
00:06:51.500 No
00:06:52.500 No of course not
00:06:53.500 I think in fact the majority of the public out there
00:06:55.500 Are understanding people
00:06:57.500 Are very aware people
00:06:58.500 I mean that's what I would have to say about it
00:07:00.500 Yeah it's true
00:07:01.500 And one more thing
00:07:02.500 Just to mention this
00:07:03.500 I think we should
00:07:04.500 By this video
00:07:05.500 We're not trying to
00:07:06.500 Be insensitive towards the lives lost in Las Vegas
00:07:10.500 What we were trying to actually do
00:07:12.500 Through this video
00:07:13.500 Is show how
00:07:14.500 Every life matters
00:07:15.500 Every life matters
00:07:16.500 Exactly
00:07:17.500 You know there was the whole
00:07:18.500 Black Lives Matter movement
00:07:19.500 We're trying to show that
00:07:20.500 Every single life matters 0.98
00:07:21.500 If black people in Ghana are dying 0.99
00:07:24.500 African people are dying 1.00
00:07:26.500 That's African people dying 1.00
00:07:28.500 That's lives being lost
00:07:29.500 If people are dying in Las Vegas
00:07:31.500 That is lives being lost
00:07:32.500 Yeah of course
00:07:33.500 But why is it that
00:07:34.500 The media, the celebrities
00:07:35.500 Are always talking about Las Vegas now
00:07:37.500 Just because that happened
00:07:39.500 But when people are dying in Africa
00:07:40.500 No one's talking about it
00:07:41.500 Yeah
00:07:42.000 When people are dying in Burma 0.66
00:07:42.500 No one's talking about it
00:07:43.500 You know
00:07:44.500 Yeah and the reason
00:07:45.500 Like some people when they come out
00:07:46.500 And say black lives matter 1.00
00:07:47.500 They're not saying
00:07:48.500 They're not going out there
00:07:49.500 To make it seem like
00:07:50.500 Only black lives 1.00
00:07:51.500 No because there's a lack of sympathy 0.98
00:07:53.500 For their life
00:07:54.500 That's where they're saying
00:07:55.500 Look our lives matter too
00:07:56.500 Yes
00:07:57.500 That's what we want to do today
00:07:58.500 When we went out
00:07:59.500 Is because we didn't want to
00:08:01.500 The fact that all lives don't matter 0.99
00:08:03.500 Is the reason why we're going out there
00:08:04.500 To show that all lives do matter
00:08:06.500 That's the reason we're going there
00:08:07.500 To do that you know
00:08:08.500 It's not because we're saying
00:08:09.500 Muslim lives are different 1.00
00:08:10.500 No of course not
00:08:11.500 So that's why
00:08:12.500 What I would say is
00:08:13.500 I'm just going to wrap it up inshallah
00:08:14.500 At the end of the day
00:08:15.500 This just proves that
00:08:17.500 And even there's a lot of far right groups
00:08:18.500 And bigots, racist individuals
00:08:20.500 Who are upset 0.99
00:08:21.500 And they really wanted this to be a Muslim 1.00
00:08:23.500 And there was people like
00:08:25.500 You know
00:08:26.500 Tommy Robinson was like
00:08:27.500 He was like
00:08:28.500 I actually saw his thing
00:08:29.500 He was like
00:08:30.500 There's something fishy going on
00:08:31.500 You know they're in denial
00:08:32.500 The guy
00:08:33.500 Literally they're in denial
00:08:34.500 I spoke to one guy
00:08:35.500 You guys would have probably seen it
00:08:36.500 Where he said
00:08:37.500 You know ISIS are claiming this
00:08:38.500 He said to me
00:08:39.500 You know ISIS are claiming this
00:08:40.500 He goes that's absolute BS
00:08:42.500 It's funny
