00:00:00.000 First, we're going to speak to Dr. Gad Saad, author of Suicidal Empathy, back with us tonight.
00:00:05.940 Your reaction to September 11th and in this moment on the 25th anniversary, 0.95
00:00:12.500 what is budding so quickly in the West, the Islamic expansion we've seen in the West? Go ahead, sir. 1.00
00:00:21.660 Look, Islam is a dual religion in that it views the world in a duality.
00:00:28.220 There is, I'm going to use the words in Arabic and then I'll translate them.
00:00:31.600 There is Dar al-Harab and Dar al-Islam, which basically loosely means the house of Islam and the house of war. 0.86
00:00:40.040 Meaning any country that has yet to be conquered by Islam, by any means necessary, is existentially under the house of war. 0.92
00:00:49.860 Any country that used to be Islamic, that reverted to being non-Islamic, is under the dominion of the house of war. 0.97
00:00:57.360 So, for example, Andalusia in current Spain is under the house of war because there was once upon a time when the Muslims were ruling that region. 0.93
00:01:08.720 So being an expansionist religion, as you mentioned in your monologue, the ultimate fundamental tenet of Islam is to ensure that every millimeter of the globe is unified under the unifying flag of Allah. 0.91
00:01:24.580 Compare that to, say, Judaism.
00:01:26.320 Judaism forbids proselytizing.
00:01:29.280 That's why you only have 16 million Jews, but you have nearly 2 billion Muslims.
00:01:34.640 And to your point, of course millions of Muslims are perfectly lovely.
00:01:38.420 That doesn't mean that Islam's fundamental tenets are consistent or congruent with ours.
00:01:44.560 And the moment, again, I mean, you lay that out so well and so terrifyingly.
00:01:50.360 And the moment, again, that you push back on any of this, you get called an Islamophobe.
00:01:56.320 which is brilliantly hilarious. 0.97
00:01:59.200 And you wonder how hard Islamists laugh at how scared we are of seeming offensive to them
00:02:06.220 because they would never even consider that concern, 0.72
00:02:10.680 which is why I said it seems like their ideology is actually the stronger.
00:02:14.640 It's actually the more intelligent.
00:02:16.040 If you wanted to take over the world, you'd go with them. 1.00
00:02:18.720 You wouldn't go with the Christians or the Jews. 1.00
00:02:20.460 We're not fit for that game. 1.00
00:02:22.360 Exactly.
00:02:22.760 They've told me in Arabic, not recently because now they recognize me, but 20, 25 years ago when I wasn't recognizable, they would tell me in Arabic, the West is a woman to be mounted, right?
00:02:35.940 So all of our virtues, all of our empathy and compassion and tolerance and kindness and magnanimity is viewed as feminized weakness to be mounted.
00:02:46.060 And to your point about Islamophobia, we had to escape Lebanon under imminent threat of execution. 0.80
00:02:52.800 My parents were kidnapped by Fatah. 0.65
00:02:54.920 My grandparents escaped Syria because of Islam. 0.60
00:02:57.840 My brother-in-law's family escaped Egypt because of Islam. 0.76
00:03:01.400 My wife's family were murdered during the Armenian genocide because of Islam. 0.80
00:03:06.920 And so if I share those realities across many generations and many different countries, I am apparently Islamophobic.
00:03:16.360 So the only way to avoid being Islamophobic is if I just die quietly, then I'm tolerant.
00:03:23.300 Anything short of that makes me bigoted because I wish to survive. 0.68
00:03:27.560 That's exactly right.
00:03:29.800 How unbelievable is that?
00:03:33.440 I want to talk a little bit, and just on the same topic here.
00:03:35.780 We saw something happen in Germany over the weekend that I'm sure was a pleasant surprise to you.
00:03:41.460 This election in Sachsen-Anhalt, this is a German state just west of Berlin.
00:03:47.620 The AfD party, they've been dubbed by their own government as extremists, as the most vile thing.
00:03:55.040 They've been pushing for the deportation of all of these mostly Middle Eastern migrants.
00:04:00.140 And they overperformed vastly in this election, something like 45 percent of the vote.
00:04:04.580 the global elite are furious at the results of this election.
00:04:08.020 Take a listen to this Washington Post reporter.
00:04:11.600 It's important to note that the place where the AFD, this right-wing party, broke through
00:04:17.420 in yesterday's elections, Sachsen-Anhalt, is a former East German city.
00:04:24.160 It's relatively poor.
00:04:25.620 It's a place where people haven't seen a lot of opportunities,
00:04:28.480 so they're very vulnerable to this kind of rhetoric.
00:04:32.060 Isn't it amazing to see people just completely incapable of understanding that perhaps this culture, these people, don't want to just invite in such a dramatic change and just invite in all of the migrants and the poorest of the Islamic world into their nation.
00:04:50.160 They just can't seem to comprehend how that would be possible. 1.00
00:04:53.120 They must just be idiotic racists. 1.00
00:04:55.660 Exactly. 1.00
00:04:56.260 So it's because they've internalized the parasitic idea of cultural relativism.
00:05:01.400 which basically argues that you are in no position, racist, to ever cast any judgment on the practices and beliefs of another culture. 0.99
00:05:11.200 If they wish to have child brides, shut up, racist. 1.00
00:05:14.360 If they wish to cut off the clitorises of five-year-old girls, shut up, racist. 1.00
00:05:18.500 So once I accept that cultural relativism is a laudable virtue to possess, 0.99
00:05:25.020 then it renders me impotent to say that some people are less likely than others to assimilate
00:05:30.980 within our Western tradition. And that's what all these imbeciles are engaging in. 1.00
00:05:35.080 That's exactly right. Dr. Gadsett, I love talking to you. Thank you so much for coming back on. 1.00
00:05:39.200 Thank you, sir. All right.
