00:00:55.280yeah okay imagine you know many many i also just want to counter something the islamic golden age
00:01:03.840is kind of a myth actually no it it is a myth it is a myth um the vast majority of scholars
00:01:13.200scientists authors um you know mathematicians during the islamic golden age were actually
00:01:21.840Iranian. Many of them were in fact fake Muslims. So they only pretended to be Muslim in order to
00:01:31.520stay alive and to, of course, not be murdered by their Muslim overlords. There's no such thing as0.91
00:01:38.980the Islamic Golden Age. If anything, it should be called the Iranian Golden Age. I just find it
00:01:45.020absolutely ridiculous how the Arab Muslim colonizers are constantly trying to claim0.82
00:01:53.440other cultures and other civilizations as their own. And, you know, why are they trying to actively0.94
00:02:02.360erase the identity of the scholars by just claiming that, you know, they're all Muslim,
00:02:11.920For example, when people are talking about Shakespeare, instead of saying that Shakespeare was a British poet, imagine someone just saying, yeah, Shakespeare was a Christian poet and everything that he did was because of Christianity.
00:02:30.020Does that make any sense to you? No one talks about Shakespeare, the Christian poet. No one talks about Bach, the Christian composer, or Mozart, the Christian composer. They identify people by their nationality and where they were from. And yet, for some reason, when it comes to the Islamic Golden Age, first of all, they erase their identity. They never mention, you know, that they were Persian. They basically say all this happened because of Islam, right?
00:02:59.120Okay, well, if the Islamic Golden Age happened because of Islam, why the hell are modern day0.96
00:03:07.760countries that are governed by Sharia law, 7th century Islamic hellholes? If Islam is what led0.88
00:03:17.160to the Islamic Golden Age, why is Afghanistan such a hellhole? Why is Iran, which is now occupied by
00:03:25.640the Islamic Republic, a hellhole. So you have to think critically about these things. And
00:03:31.180the reason that the Islamic Golden Age happened early on is because that was the same time
00:03:41.020that they were conquering all these different peoples from different civilizations. Every
00:03:47.400civilization that they conquered and captured, they basically took their knowledge, took their
00:03:53.860scholars, forced everyone to become Muslim, and then they claimed all of that in the name of
00:04:00.560Islam. You have to think critically about these things. Unfortunately, history is always written
00:04:06.520by the victors, kind of how they're rewriting history when it comes to the Crusades, right?
00:04:12.240You have these people just trying to make it seem as if the Crusades happened because the big bad
00:04:17.440Christians just decided to attack the Arab Muslim invaders. Very similar with the Islamic Golden
00:04:23.860Age. I'll give you one example. I'll give you one example. They like to say that a Muslim invented
00:04:29.300algebra, which is totally false. First of all, algebra originates from India. And then Al-Khwarazmi,
00:04:37.980who we call the father of modern day algebra, he was inspired by the Hindus. And then when he
00:04:47.340created modern day algebra, he did that despite being labeled as a Muslim. And in fact, he was
00:04:53.760Iranian. So the father of modern day algebra was Iranian. But you never hear about that. All they
00:05:00.840say is that he was Muslim. He was Muslim. It was a Muslim that did this, Muslim did that.
00:05:06.520Not true at all. That's just one example. And like I said, like 90% of the people involved0.83
00:05:14.640in the Islamic Golden Age were Iranians and were from the Persian Empire.
00:05:20.940Let's say decades or centuries from now, those buildings are still standing there.
00:05:25.260And, you know, the whole, everything's changed and, you know, Islam maybe is gone or whatever.
00:05:29.040And people look at it and go, wow, that was a golden age, that country, that civilization,
00:05:35.220because look what it led to. Now we would say, well, no, I mean, they had their Islam, sure,
00:05:40.380but this is actually money and westerners built it western technology western workers and it just
00:05:46.460so happened that these arabs had the money to spend on it that i submit to you is the best way
00:05:50.620to understand the golden age that happened historically it didn't happen due to anything
00:05:55.340to do with islam quite the contrary it happened despite islam okay and it was basically so let's
00:06:00.540uh if we go to i just said that guys i just said that right so he just said the islamic golden age
00:06:07.660didn't happen because of islam it happened despite islam oh my gosh maybe maybe he's actually going to
00:06:17.420say the truth oh my gosh guys okay the abbasid as i was telling you which is the primary golden age
00:06:22.380um this is now okay so now the abbasid empire is more persianized and it's it's in it's in baghdad
00:06:28.860okay and it's it's very it's heavily persianized and um at the time a lot of the i just said that
00:06:37.580guys i did because that all used to be part of the persian empire and then when the arab muslim
00:06:43.180invaders came and they conquered persia the vast majority of iranians right in order to survive
00:06:50.300they you know pretend converted to to islam persia and persians you know now you know iran um we were
00:06:58.220conquered but we were not colonized so we kept our language we kept our identity we kept our
00:07:06.220culture we kept all of that the vast majority were just uh you know pretend muslims so that
00:07:14.300the arab muslim invaders would just you know leave us alone so oh wow okay this is this is really
00:07:20.220interesting no wonder you guys were recommending me to to to play raymond ibrahim he's actually
00:07:29.020wow he's okay like i'm i'm blown away here i'm gonna go back because this is um
00:07:34.620wow now we would say well no i mean they had their islam sure but this is actually money
00:07:40.940and westerners built it western technology western workers and it just so happened that
00:07:45.820these arabs had the money to spend on it that i submit to you is the best way to understand the
00:07:50.060golden age that happened historically it didn't happen due to anything to do with islam quite
00:07:55.340the contrary it happened despite islam okay and it was basically so let's uh if we go to the abbasid
00:08:00.940as i was telling you which is the primary golden age um this is now okay so now the abbasid empire
00:08:06.380is more persianized and it's it's in it's in baghdad okay and it's it's very it's heavily
00:08:12.380persianized and um at the time a lot of the people keep in mind when these arab muslim conquests
00:08:19.660happen most of so let's say egypt and syria which were highly christian let's say in the 8th century
00:08:25.8209th century 10th century there's still majority christian and there's jews also as well especially
00:08:31.500in alexandria and various cities and you have a lot of zoroastrians and persia okay you have
00:08:36.860all these different groups who are living underneath now islamic rule they're the
00:08:41.340ones who are doing all the stuff that we call the golden age okay it's christian
00:08:45.820he just said it oh my gosh okay i need to go find more stuff by raymond ibrahim and his thoughts on
00:08:56.720the you know islamic golden age oh my gosh like he basically just confirmed what i've been saying
00:09:03.560see guys like i know my stuff i know my stuff you guys have to trust me okay like everything i say
00:09:08.920you know just because you haven't heard it before you might be like what is she talking about
00:09:13.820But I'm telling you guys, I have yet to say something incorrect, and everything that I say, right, it's true. It's true.
00:09:24.620Most of, so let's say Egypt and Syria, which were highly Christian, let's say in the 8th century, 9th century, 10th century, there's still a majority Christian.
00:09:33.040And there's Jews also as well, especially in Alexandria and various cities, and you have a lot of Zoroastrians and Persia.
00:09:40.520Okay, you have all these different groups who are living underneath now Islamic rule.
00:09:45.100They're the ones who are doing all the stuff that we call the Golden Age, okay?
00:09:49.440It's Christians, it's Jews, and especially it's the Persians in the Abbasid era.
00:09:54.960And it's not because of anything special about Islam.
00:09:57.840I mean, they are literally not Muslims.
00:10:00.140And a few of them who are, are literally, they just converted, they're first-generation converts,
00:10:05.760which means they're still primarily whatever their former religion was.
00:10:10.060So the best that you can say is that the Muslims, you know, sponsored it, maybe paid for it.
00:10:40.060And yet, for some reason, the Arab Muslim colonizers, they like to go out and they like to talk about the Islamic Golden Age and how Islam did this and Islam did...
00:10:53.920You guys have no idea how frustrating it is for us Iranians when you have these like, you know, these these these radical Muslims and they go out and they're like, oh, the Islamic Golden Age is...
00:11:05.980And then meanwhile, I'm sitting there and I'm like, really, because the Islamic Golden Age
00:11:10.180wouldn't exist without the Zoroastrians from Iran, who are actually the ones doing all of
00:11:18.440all of the inventions and all of the findings and everything like that. Right. There you go.
00:11:24.560If anything, we should call it the Persian Golden Age. There you go. There you go.
00:11:30.980I feel very, very vindicated with that statement.
