Excuse me, why me? Why not? Is it because he's not a Muslim? Is this why you're giving it to me?
00:00:17.160
It was Birmingham or it was a group of people, Muslims, who were fighting.
00:00:20.920
Do you know something? Do you know something? I don't invite Muslims. I fight extremists.
00:00:27.040
The question I wanted to ask you, right? I've had a few fights over the years. Not with Ali, obviously. Or not with Mr Hijab.
00:00:45.040
If someone's a wrong one, then they're wrong. It doesn't really come into religion.
00:00:53.520
And the point, you've said a few things in the past, and I'm going to bring it up.
00:00:58.760
What you've said is that you believe a child, what I would class as a child, would be...
00:01:07.760
If they decide that they're mature enough to have sex, then that's a decision that they should make.
00:01:19.760
When is a woman or a child ready for a sexual relationship? When?
00:01:34.760
Okay, so for example, if we go to Google and we ask...
00:01:37.520
Don't ask Google or Alexa, I'm asking you, Ali.
00:01:40.480
Okay, but I don't... I'm not a dictionary. I'm going with the actual definition.
00:01:46.720
No, from Islamically, a woman who reaches the age of puberty, if she is mentally, sexually and physically ready, if there is no harm factor...
00:01:57.520
And this is why I find that what's great about Islam and the Sharia law, not the one that you think of, they're really getting chopped up, yeah?
00:02:08.140
The Western... No, no, it's actually on topic, yeah?
00:02:16.080
Because a female who's 16 years old, they're not all the same, yeah?
00:02:21.460
So she may not be... She might be reaching the age of puberty at 16, mentally, sexually, physically ready.
00:02:26.360
But Islam says if she... If there's a harm factor...
00:02:35.060
Islam says each individual girl has her rights, yeah?
00:02:40.260
That's one thing the Sharia came to protect, yeah?
00:02:43.840
So the thing is that in this country, it says you're 16?
00:02:48.360
Even though we know teenage girls having sex in the bushes and getting pregnant is an epidemic.
00:02:57.220
So what I'm trying to say is this, Islamically, we don't say to our daughters,
00:03:07.220
No, no, don't put them in the same bracket as...
00:03:12.640
...and your daughter has reached the age of puberty...
00:03:16.900
Are you going to force her to go and get a boyfriend?
00:03:19.820
The question that I want to ask you, see, we know what Ellie does here.
00:03:24.180
You want me to answer how you want me to answer?
00:03:48.680
Okay, they could be mature enough in your view?
00:03:57.000
Generally, for example, if you go to a doctor...
00:04:06.020
In America, in some parts of America, it's over.
00:04:10.740
In France, now I think they've dropped it to 50.
00:04:13.580
So now, according to our country, France is condoning pedophilia.
00:04:18.040
According to United Arab Emirates, we as a UK are a pedophilia country.
00:04:25.920
So, do you see the problem with giving it a number?
00:04:31.360
But do you see, if that's not the case, that means France is condoning pedophilia.
00:04:33.640
Do you have a problem with a country giving it an age limit legally?
00:04:41.780
Islamically, what we see is the welfare of the child is vital.
00:04:46.020
So what that means is we can't come and generalise and say, okay, everybody, 14.
00:04:50.500
Because there might be a girl that's 14, or 15, or 16, that is not ready, but legally,
00:04:55.380
a man might come and say, okay, let's go out, and we're going to have intimacy, but maybe
00:05:03.260
In the Quran, does it say that about that, about the well-being of the child?
00:05:06.460
In the Quran, does it say that about the well-being of the child and the woman?
00:05:09.600
There is, there is some verses in Surah Nisa, I can find it for you, but...
00:05:13.860
So, for example, the Prophet Muhammad teased me upon him when he married Aisha, and this
00:05:17.820
is one of the arguments that a lot of people bring.
00:05:23.660
So, the issue is, look, the Prophet teased me upon him, he married, he married, he
00:05:35.160
Just so, just so, just so you don't have a doubt, I think I'm some kind of a...
00:05:41.000
I'm going to show you my password, you know, when I ask you...
00:05:44.780
Show it, show it, I didn't, I didn't ask you anything.
00:06:01.000
Now, the Prophet, peace be upon him, is our role model, yeah?
00:06:07.840
Now, today's society that we live in, it sounds troubling and disturbing.
00:06:12.560
I'm not going to come and say, oh, that sounds great to the ear.
00:06:15.160
But, what do you think it's okay to marry someone between the ages of 9 and 16?
00:06:37.480
I'm trying to go in through the front door, but you're not opening it.
00:06:43.160
The Prophet, peace be upon him, marry her at 6 and waiting 3 years shows us, indicates
00:06:52.280
Because if this argument of him being a paedophile, yeah?
00:06:55.500
If this was an argument, the question that needs to be asked is, why would a paedophile say,
00:07:17.820
So, what I'm trying to say to you is, the fact that the Prophet, peace be upon him, waited
00:07:20.500
3 years, shows that, for us, that she wasn't ready to consummate the marriage, yeah?
00:07:32.220
Are you telling me that, for example, in history, there is many examples?
00:07:40.060
What I believe is Islam, and I'm telling you about Islam.
00:07:45.740
Do you believe it's okay to have a relationship?
00:07:51.860
That's what you're asking, but I don't need to answer, yeah?
00:08:02.280
What I believe now, and only what I would believe is this.
00:08:09.180
I'm asking if you think it's okay to have sexual relations with a girl between the ages
00:08:17.940
Firstly, number one, because of the law that we live in.
00:08:21.020
Number two, Islamically, because she is not mentally, sexually, physically, really,
00:08:25.180
and there's a harm factor, because Allah says this in the Quran, do not harm yourself
00:08:30.540
So, if I'm not allowed to harm myself and harm other people, how am I going to be with
00:08:35.740
So, categorically, you do not agree with someone having a sexual relationship...
00:09:29.060
Are you talking about the United Arab Emirates?
00:09:31.560
Are you talking about the United Arab Emirates?
00:09:53.220
because if Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,
00:09:57.000
that did this, I'll see to you guys, you guys...
00:12:51.160
A contradiction of what he actually does believe.
00:13:49.120
Yeah, you know when you were talking about the sister?
00:14:32.000
yeah, we just had a really nice discussion with Rob.
00:14:42.980
And there's a lot of misconceptions that he has
00:14:56.680
sometimes we have a debate with an atheist, yeah?
00:14:58.700
And sometimes we have this perception in our head
00:15:38.620
As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.
