00:01:40.360i'll be back in a bit that's not what islam is all about islam is peace0.96
00:01:48.200these terrorists don't represent peace they represent evil and war0.59
00:01:57.000when we think of islam we think of a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the
00:02:03.880world. Billions of people find comfort and solace and peace. I want you to talk about a couple of
00:02:15.100those events. You talked about going to the Islamic Center and trying to make sure that
00:02:21.640our Muslim American citizens knew that we didn't blame them for what had happened. I also made it
00:02:28.020clear that Islam was a religion of peace, not a religion of war, and that these people subverted
00:02:33.720their religion people are also forced to leave when they face religious or political persecution
00:02:39.380and so we will talk more about this when we talk about the holocaust in january or in the winter
00:02:45.720but many jewish people during the holocaust were forced to leave their homes in cities
00:02:52.160and even countries because they were facing religious persecution or discrimination
00:02:58.840and same thing just recently or not recently but what we just talked about earlier this week
00:03:05.660is 9-11 so many muslims in the united states faced mass discrimination after the 9-11 events
00:03:13.940even though they were not responsible for the attacks that happened and so that could force
00:03:20.820people to leave a city or a state because they they don't feel comfortable or safe to live there
00:03:27.420Having watched the two George Bush clips and the clip comparing the Holocaust to the supposed Islamophobia that Muslims face in America as their population has increased many, many folds since 9-11 alone, where mosques have proliferated since 9-11 alone, but apparently they're too afraid to walk out.0.52
00:03:55.260It's just another Holocaust that they're facing in the United States.
00:03:58.860Let me read for you the article that I posted earlier today on the anniversary of 9-11, 25 years later.0.77
00:04:08.400So title is Reflecting on 9-11, 25 Years Later.
00:04:12.760When 9-11 occurred, I was a visiting professor at the University of California at Irvine from 2001 to 2003.
00:04:19.340My sister-in-law was visiting us from Montreal. As I made my way to the downstairs den on that
00:04:25.240fateful morning, I saw my wife and her sister staring at the television screen in utter shock.
00:04:31.280As I watched the grotesque images, it took my brain a few seconds to catch up to the impossible
00:04:36.660reality that was unfolding before my eyes. It quickly became evident who the culprits were
00:04:43.000and which ideology animated their actions. Shortly thereafter, President Bush unequivocally stated
00:04:49.820that this had nothing to do with Islam, in his words, a religion of peace.
00:04:54.94025 years later, he reiterated that statement in a recent conversation with Condoleezza Rice.
00:05:00.400Those are the two clips that you saw a few minutes ago. I have long explained that most actions lead
00:05:06.140to three possible outcomes. For example, if your goal is to lose weight, you will engage in a set
00:05:11.820of choices on a given day that will result in one, weight increase, which is contrary to your
00:05:17.480objective, two, no change in your weight, which is also contrary to your objective, or three,
00:05:23.700weight loss, which will be consistent with your objective. Hence, every choice that you make
00:05:29.080will contribute to the eventual tripartite set of possibilities listed above. Let us apply this
00:05:36.700logic to the incursion of Islam across the West since 9-11. If the objective of the West and the0.98
00:05:42.720United States was to minimize the likelihood of being accused of Islamophobia, a nonsensical
00:05:48.420concept, then the West has perfectly succeeded in its mission. All of the countries of the West
00:05:54.880have dramatically increased Islamic immigration into their midst. There has been an astounding1.00
00:06:00.400increase of mosques across the West, the presence of Islam in our daily lives has
00:06:06.320exponentially increased. On the other hand, if the objective of the West and the United States0.99
00:06:12.040is to preserve our foundational principles of liberty and freedom, then one must ask whether1.00
00:06:17.340the breathtaking increase of Islam in every nook and cranny of the fabric of our societies has1.00
00:06:23.820achieved that goal. Does more Islam mean greater safety for Jews, for gays, for freedom of speech,0.99
00:06:30.400for Christians, for our way of life? Are the cities of Dearborn, Patterson, and Minneapolis
00:06:36.560more or less American given the demographic changes in those cities? Is electing Zoran0.99
00:06:43.160Mamdani to lead the city where the Twin Towers fell a good or a bad idea? Over the past 25 years,
00:06:51.960I have repeatedly tried to warn the West about its parasitized suicidal empathy.
00:06:56.540I wrote several international best-selling books, The Parasitic Mind and Suicidal Empathy,
00:07:02.600that explained the dangers of unrestrained compassion, tolerance, kindness, and empathy
00:07:08.660when drafting a broad range of domestic and foreign policies. The Islamic terrorists on 9-110.96
00:07:15.020could not have hoped for a greater victory. I hate to admit this, but it is the truth.1.00
00:07:21.060We have decided that in our infinite largesse we are willing to commit civilizational seppuku
00:07:27.460for nothing could apparently be worse in life than to be labeled an Islamophobe. The quest to
00:07:33.840be infinitely empathetic whilst stroking our luxuriant hair in the mirror of moral preening
00:07:41.240allows us to make the following statement proudly. We are happy to give up our children, our women,
00:07:47.860our heritage, our culture, our civilization, our religion, our liberties, and our freedoms as long
00:07:54.660as you do not call us an Islamophobe. Our survival instinct be damned. Demography is destiny. Our0.84
00:08:03.420grandchildren will live in societies that are radically different from the ones that their
00:08:09.040ancestors built and defended. There are autocorrective procedures that the West could
00:08:14.760implement to redress the issue, but I'm afraid that I see zero evidence that the West has the
00:08:21.180testicular fortitude to implement an iota of changes that are contrary to its commitment
00:08:27.920to continue bathing in the warm infinity pool of suicidal empathy. Individual Muslims may be0.80
00:08:35.440lovely, peaceful, and sweet, as is true of any group of individuals. The latter statement says
00:08:41.100nothing about whether Islam is congruent with American values. May God protect us from those1.00
00:08:48.000who wish to harm us, to wish us harm. May the West find its inner honey badger soon.
00:08:54.040We are running out of time. Shabbat shalom everybody.
