00:00:00.000 Even the Republicans are, to some extent, suicidally empathetic because if you watch,
00:00:04.780 even the ones who very forcefully criticize Islam as being incongruent with American values, 0.73
00:00:12.980 they'll always use linguistic coverage to protect Islam. 0.96
00:00:18.380 So it's Islamism. 0.97
00:00:20.160 It's radical Islam. 0.99
00:00:22.220 Political Islam and Islamism is an indelible, inherent feature of Islam. 1.00
00:00:28.860 Much of Islam is Islamism. So if you do a content analysis of all of the canonical texts of Islam, 0.98
00:00:38.180 which are the Quran, the Hadith, the deeds and the sayings of Muhammad, and the Sirah,
00:00:44.620 which is the biography of Muhammad, you could do a quantitative analysis of how often is it
00:00:50.100 preaching brotherly love? How often is it really concerned about the infidels? And so Islam in its
00:00:57.780 nature is political. Why? There are many reasons why, but let me just give you one. And then if
00:01:02.880 you want to drill down, we can do so. Islam is a fully proselytizing religion, meaning that it is 1.00
00:01:11.420 incumbent in an ideal world to turn the entire world into the one true faith. It is a peaceful 0.85
00:01:20.780 religion, if by peaceful, it means the following. Eventually, the entire globe, every millimeter
00:01:28.380 of the globe will be united under the unifying flag of Allah. Now, let's take, for example,
00:01:35.220 Judaism. And it's not because I'm Jewish, but it's just to compare. Judaism is precisely the
00:01:41.220 opposite. It is an anti-proselytizing language. You're not allowed to proselytize. As a matter 1.00
00:01:48.360 of fact, if you proselytize, let's say I try to convince you, Joe, you know, why don't
00:01:53.340 you join the tribe?
00:01:54.220 And you say, you know what?
00:01:55.040 I think I'd like to.
00:01:56.120 It's a grind.
00:01:56.920 It's a grind.
00:01:57.820 It's a long haul.
00:01:58.560 My uncle did it.
00:01:59.600 Well, there you go.
00:02:00.280 Thank you. 0.99
00:02:00.620 So it is literally in the canons of Judaism to try to dissuade the prospective convert 0.92
00:02:08.420 to coming into the fold, because the idea is to have a costly signal of your commitment, 0.88
00:02:16.100 your religious piety, to want to join the group. So it is a grind. It's very hard. In Islam,
00:02:23.180 you just have to say the one proclamation, the shahada, one sentence, and you're in. Now try to 0.99
00:02:29.080 get out. There are apostasy laws against you getting out. So the circuitry of Islam is one 0.84
00:02:37.640 that is expansionist. That's why you have two billion Muslims. As someone who studies consumer 1.00
00:02:43.600 behavior. Islam is a brilliant marketing religion. It has found a way to get a lot of customers and 1.00
00:02:51.860 adherents. Judaism sucks at marketing because the entire circuitry of Judaism is meant to keep it 1.00
00:03:00.480 very, very small. And so which one is likely to lead to greater problems? The one that is meant 1.00
00:03:08.320 to ensure that all of us become Muslim or the one that says, even if your uncle wants to become
00:03:13.360 jewish we're going to put the barrier so so high that nobody will ever become jewish so we still
00:03:18.840 have only 15 million jews roughly in the world almost the same as we had before the holocaust 0.97
00:03:24.560 is that possible with islam that they could have a revival of maternity across the entire country
00:03:29.060 like imagine if iraq iran all these countries will run like saudi arabia or run like the united arab 0.64
00:03:35.720 emirates you would have a much more peaceful environment wouldn't you yeah so i'm going to
00:03:41.680 be now very optimistic there is a package of cultural richness in the middle east like no
00:03:49.940 other and i come from the region arabics my mother tongue the the spirit of generosity the spirit of
00:03:56.900 loyalty when you're in the group the hospitality is like no other actually i recently was telling
00:04:02.640 some folks in mississippi that the the mississippians remind me as though they were honorary
00:04:08.780 Lebanese because they're so, it's that Southern hospitality. I'm Jewish. I'm very wedded to my
00:04:14.660 Jewish identity, but I don't take many of the edicts of Judaism seriously. Cafeteria Jew, 0.99
00:04:21.980 if Islam could allow for that cafeteria, which by the way, many Muslims do now. 0.98
00:04:30.380 I have friends that are Muslims.
00:04:31.460 Exactly. Hundreds of millions of Muslims want to cause zero harm to Jews.
00:04:37.480 Right. So, the problem is radical Islamism. 1.00
00:04:41.060 It's not radical. It's just Islam, and I choose to ignore the parts that I don't like. 0.99
00:04:48.140 You're putting an appellation on Islam that is unnecessary.
00:04:52.620 Islam is made up of many tenets. It's not radical Islam. There is no book called Radical Islam.
