Gad Saad, author of Suicidal Empathy, and visiting scholar at Ole Miss, joins me to talk about the recent mass shooting at an Islamic compound in Australia, and why we don t need more diversity within Islam.
00:00:00.000Gad Saad, author of Suicidal Empathy and visiting scholar Ole Miss, joins me now.
00:00:06.760You know, it's really weird to hear these leaders talk about diversity after importing hundreds of thousands of Muslims who clearly aren't getting along very well with the people of Australia.
00:00:19.740It's unbelievable. You know, as you know, Jesse, I've been warning about this for several decades.
00:00:24.600Let's draw an analogy. Suppose you get married and there is diversity of thought in terms about being monogamous.
00:00:32.340You want to have sex with as many women as possible, whereas your wife thinks that it's a good idea to be only true to one person.
00:00:39.820That type of diversity within that union is probably not going to lead to good outcomes.
00:00:46.080Islam may contain many adherents that are perfectly lovely.
00:00:50.240But does Islam contain tenets that are perfectly incongruent with Western liberties?
00:00:56.480Nothing could be clearer. We don't need this kind of diversity.
00:00:59.780It's very hard to screen those types of Muslims out.
00:01:03.560I mean, you can't just screen away people like that.
00:01:07.020I mean, they can radicalize, they can self-radicalize, they can hide from customs and Border Patrol agents their true intentions.
