00:04:12.200They released three dogs that they didn't attack me, because God was with me.
00:04:16.020I saw God in the midst of persecution.
00:04:19.340And I know that God exists, and as He dies for us, we will live and will die for Him.
00:04:25.660So One Free World International did not exist because this is my job.
00:04:29.800It exists because that's my calling upon my life.
00:04:32.000So when I founded One Free World International, to fight for others that used to be in the same position like myself.
00:04:37.700Wow, that's such an incredible story, Majee.
00:04:41.020Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
00:04:43.840So can you walk us through the state of Christians, specifically in the region that you came from, in the Middle East?
00:04:50.840Because when I think back to countries like Egypt, you know, hundreds of years ago, thousands of years ago, they were a place of different groups living side by side.
00:05:01.180I know there was once a sizable Christian population in Egypt.
00:05:03.940There was once a sizable Jewish population as well.
00:05:06.440So what has happened to Christians and other religious minorities in Egypt and the broader Middle East, and why?
00:05:15.260Well, in reality, the majority of Egypt was Christians, actually.
00:05:19.800In the 7th century, when a Muslim leader by the name of Umar ibn al-As, he entered Egypt and he forced most of the Christians to convert to Islam.
00:05:27.820And there was around 30 million Christians at the time, you know, I mean, now we are less, we are maybe 10% of the population of Egypt.
00:05:38.900So this is something that happens all around the Middle East, where the Muslim extremism like to take over and and basically punish the minorities and for them to convert to Islam or killing them or punishing them in another way is to force them out.
00:05:54.060We saw this in Iraq, we saw this in Egypt, we saw this in, in Iran, we saw this in many countries around the world, that they are based Muslim countries.
00:06:06.960And today, we see this happening in Afghanistan.
00:06:11.840Today, we see Taliban took over and the first thing the Taliban is doing is basically hunting down the Christians, hunting down the Hazaras, hunting down the women and children, especially women that want to receive education.
00:06:24.240We see them hunting down the minorities.
00:06:27.720But Christians really is the canary in the coal mine.
00:06:31.380The minute that you see persecution happening to the Christians is immediately mean that every other minority will be persecuted as well immediately, and especially as well, the minority female minorities, the right will be taken away immediately as well.
00:06:45.240So we see this happening in Afghanistan and one free world international preparing a mission in a matter of few days to go there and the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
00:06:54.060In an order to help with the refugees and to help with the persecute Christians to get out of Afghanistan if this is necessary.
00:07:04.540I know Afghanistan was all over the news earlier this year and the sad story of the Taliban taking over.
00:07:09.760I want to ask you, though, with all of this persecution happening, with all of this horrible treatment of Christians, you mentioned that it doesn't really make the legacy media.
00:07:20.200When we in Canada hear about refugees, we're often hearing about Muslim refugees that are being forced out of Muslim-majority countries, but we don't often hear about the treatment of Christians.
00:07:31.560So I just wonder why is it that the Canadian government and the legacy media in Canada and the U.S. and throughout Europe and the West, why don't they focus on the plight of Christian people in this region?
00:07:43.640I think it's a white guilt. I don't know if this is a politically correct statement to me, but I'm not really politically correct. I believe it's a white guilt.
00:07:53.240So basically, the West and Canada and the United States and so on, they are countries that build on a Christian and Jewish values, according to our Bible.
00:08:06.620And I don't understand why Christians is not something like when our Canadian government speaking about minorities in Afghanistan, they never mentioned the Christians.
00:08:18.020And I think it's really quite rubbish politically correctness that in our Canadian society and the politically correctness, just to make it clear, it's not just in Canada, it's in the United States, it's in England, it's in most of Europe and Australia and so on.
00:08:32.220I think it's a cancer in our Western society. We have to speak the truth. We have to be proud of who we are. We have to understand that, you know, there is no race can be blamed for every crime on Earth.
00:08:47.600You know, we have to move forward and politically correctness is the very cancer that will destroy our Canadian fabric and our Western fabric.
00:08:57.120And I think we just need to get out of that and face the truth and speak the truth.
00:09:00.660I really appreciate that. I love Canada and I wish that more of our political leaders would be patriotic and proud of Canada.
00:09:08.520Yes, we have errors in the past. We've made horrible mistakes. There's been bad policies and bad leaders.
00:09:16.940And just the very fact that people are still coming from all over the world to come to Canada, they're fleeing persecution to find safety in Canada.
00:09:27.420So I wanted to ask you as well, because I remember when ISIS was sort of ravaging Syria and Iraq and they were committing genocide against the Yazidis in the Sinjar Mountain region.
00:09:40.300And your group played a leading role, a pivotal role in helping those Yazidis, specifically Yazidi women who were the victim of slavery.
00:09:50.240You helped them escape a tremendous, tremendous story, helped them resettle in Canada.
00:09:54.360I'm wondering if you could tell our listeners and our viewers a little bit about how you helped the Yazidis and what you did for those women.
00:10:01.700Well, when I just entered in Yazidi territories and Sinjar Mountain and so on, and all of these areas, they was taking them more than seven thousand years.
00:10:13.620They raped them. They used them as a sex slaves.
00:10:16.980It was the most horrible crime that we witnessed in our modern history.
00:10:24.260Falling in front of our eyes on the TV and the social media.
00:10:31.700And our our organization was on the ground immediately.
00:10:36.700We was able to rescue more than 600 years.
00:10:38.700We was able to help resettling much more families here advocating on their behalf with the Canadian government, the Canadian government that the liberal government that refused to recognize this as a genocide three times in our Canadian parliament before the UN recognize it as a genocide is the most horrible thing.
00:10:57.700And here the Canadian government receiving more than 40,000 Syrian refugees and only 900 Yazidis.
00:11:06.700It is based on politically correct, purely politically correctness and and voting system, you know, the Yazidis is a small little group, so nobody care about their voting voices.
00:11:19.700But, you know, when we are dealing with the 40,000 Syrians, you know, you're you're satisfying the Muslim community, per se, or you are getting them to.
00:11:28.700To vote for you once they are the three years mark and so on, I think we have ready to focus on the most vulnerable minorities.
00:11:37.700And to bring them here, you know, we're talking about, you know, Yazidis Christians, Bahá'Ăs, Ahmadiyyas, Uyghurs, Falun Gong, Tibetians, we are talking about many minorities that deserve to be here to be rescued.
00:11:52.700And Canada is the land of the free is the land of the refugee and the temple of human rights.
00:11:59.700And I really encourage our government to do more for the minorities instead of being politically correct.
00:12:06.700Isn't it funny, Majid, Justin Trudeau is more than happy to say that Canada commits genocide.
00:12:13.700He even said that Canada is currently committing genocide against First Nations peoples.
00:12:18.700And yet when there is overwhelming evidence of a genocide happening committed by ISIS, one of the most despicable organizations we've ever seen.
00:12:27.700For some reason, to your point, there was three votes and they said no three times.
00:12:34.700I know you sort of alluded to the idea of voting blocs and, you know, trying to appease a broader population of Arab Muslims.
00:12:43.700But, I mean, can you help us understand why the Canadian government, the federal government, Justin Trudeau, the, you know, the feminist, the person who's supposed to be the champion of refugees, why he wouldn't recognize these awful crimes as being what they were, which was genocide?
00:13:00.700I think Justin Trudeau is the only one can answer this question.
00:13:05.700But from my understanding and from what I've been reviewing and just my humble opinion anyway, I think if he did, he will upset maybe some some sectors in the Muslim religion or from the Muslim community.
00:13:18.700Because ISIS, of course, standing for the Islamic State and we understand that that this is maybe would not be politically correct.
00:13:26.700Maybe there is the international obligation for Canada to do more. So he was worried about that. Maybe he was worried to upset you.
00:13:33.700Of the Muslim countries as well. I cannot really understand our prime minister, per se, I, the Bible said, pray for our prime minister, pray for our government and we I do this daily.
00:13:47.700I pray for Justin Trudeau daily. I pray that he will resign quite honestly, just, you know, that's my prayer.
00:13:52.700The Canadian government, we have to understand something, the Canadian government have to listen to Canadians.
00:13:58.700And we become the silent minority, sorry, the silent majority.
00:14:04.700The Canadian government have to understand and any government, I don't care if you are liberal or conservative or or green or NDP or whatever you are.
00:14:13.700Listen to your people, you know, don't worry about politically correctness right now.
00:14:17.700This is how the beginning of a disaster of picking away our rights, we see what's happening in Brexit.
00:14:23.700We see what's happened in when Donald Trump won the election in the White House.
00:14:29.700It was the silence majority, you know, and many people will blame the right, the extreme right wing for, for, for stuff like this.
00:14:37.700I tell them no blame the left, that they just keep choking us and choking us and not listening to our voices.
00:14:44.700That now we become the majority that become forced to be silenced.
00:14:49.700And, and, and I advise everybody, listen to us. There is no left and right.
00:14:54.700We are all Canadians. We're all in the same boat.
00:14:57.700Listen to our voice and see the true pain of the people.
00:15:00.700And then you will really become the champion of the people.
00:15:05.700A final question for you. So, so you, you come from Egypt.
00:15:09.700I'm not sure how long you've been in Canada for, but I'm wondering, you know, it's Christmas and so many Christians around the world have slightly different traditions and, and, and things that they do to celebrate.
00:15:21.700So I'm wondering if you can tell us a little bit about you, your family, your community.
00:15:25.700What, what specifically do you do to celebrate Christmas?
00:15:28.700Well, Christmas is the most sensitive time of the year for the Presque Christians.
00:15:33.700And many people doesn't know that, but the attacks on Christians actually increases tremendously during Christmas time.
00:15:40.700So think about that while you are going around the tree, Christmas trees and gifts under the trees and Santa Claus.
00:15:47.700And I pray and I bless everyone enjoying Christmas with your family.
00:15:51.700Please enjoy it as a precious, precious, precious time.
00:15:54.700But from December 24 until January 7, which is the, the, the, the, the, the Christmas, you know, this is the period that Chris has been attacked severely.
00:16:05.700And just last year, I think 26 countries, uh, Christmas was attacked during Christmas ceremonies and 26 countries, especially in Nigeria, Egypt, North Korea, uh, uh, uh, Iran, uh, in, in many, many countries.
00:16:21.700That it's a long list of countries, uh, that'd been attacked Sudan.
00:16:25.700So we are expecting attacks during this time.
00:16:28.700So the majority of time during Christmas and new year and all the way to January 7, we really, our organizations are just focusing on monitoring the situation around the world and presenting as much help as possible as we can.
