00:00:00.780 Welcome back. As the full extent of the carnage of New Orleans is realized, we have to ask ourselves a question.
00:00:06.500 How much longer is the West going to continue to self-destruct at the hands of global desires?
00:00:12.620 The powerful are injecting forced assimilation with a very, very toxic ideology into the West, into our countries.
00:00:19.080 And we see the results of that. There's a lot of people in this country that absolutely despise the West and want to kill as many people as possible. 0.96
00:00:25.600 And they all kind of share the same religious ideology.
00:00:29.040 And there's little regard for the victims in the decisions that are made about how we run these countries.
00:00:33.760 In fact, for the most part, the victims are ignored as these decisions are made.
00:00:37.780 Dr. Gad Saad has long warned about radical Islam in the West.
00:00:40.980 He is a visiting professor at Northwood University, and he joins us to talk more about this.
00:00:45.180 And, sir, it's good to have you back on.
00:00:47.000 I just want to start and get your top line thoughts after what we saw on New Year's Eve.
00:00:51.940 Well, it angers me to no end, right?
00:00:54.420 I mean, yesterday I was supposed to be sitting around, having fun, enjoying my time with the family.
00:00:59.420 But then I see, I think now it's up to 14 innocent people who were trying to have fun.
00:01:05.020 Even though I don't know them, I mourn them.
00:01:07.160 I'm angry for them because we allow this to happen.
00:01:10.720 And so I'm very upset.
00:01:13.000 But in a sense, I'm frustrated because, as you said, some of us have been warning the West for decades.
00:01:19.080 And people hopefully are starting to wake up, but perhaps not fully yet.
00:01:24.080 Yeah, it's what do you I mean, let's just get at it for a second, because I think that everybody is terrified to have an honest conversation about Islam.
00:01:33.320 Nobody wants to talk about, you know, some of the language in this book, what it calls for.
00:01:38.580 And, you know, there's so many people that practice this religion, the bulk of which we know are peaceful.
00:01:42.840 But there's a lot of people that aren't.
00:01:44.480 And I feel like we're just going to be fighting this and dealing with these tragedies forever.
00:01:50.880 Indeed, right?
00:01:51.720 And for your viewers and listeners who don't know my personal history, we're Lebanese Jews that had to leave the Middle East because it became impossible to be Jewish.
00:02:00.620 There's 1,400 years of history that supports the fact that Islam, once it moves into a place, doesn't necessarily promote the flourishing of individual liberties and freedoms. 1.00
00:02:11.900 Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't hundreds of millions of perfectly nice and peaceful and kind Muslims.
00:02:18.220 But that would be like arguing, you know, I shouldn't be afraid when I walk down a dark alley if I see four young men loitering around, because most young men are perfectly reasonable and kind and peaceful.
00:02:31.660 Life is about navigating through statistical regularities, and there certainly is a statistical regularity when it comes to Islam. 0.99
00:02:40.520 We should be able to speak about it openly without holding an iota of hatred towards individual Muslims.
00:02:47.200 What's the what's the what's the cure?
00:02:49.960 I mean, we can show you video just hours after this attack here in New York.
00:02:52.880 We had, you know, mostly white leftists, I would say, calling for intifada in New York and a lot of people waving these familiar flags walking down our streets just hours after 14 people were murdered.
00:03:04.600 We see this as a response. How do we how do we how do we get ourselves out of what we've created and what we've managed to bring into the West?
00:03:15.640 What do you do about Islam in the West?
00:03:17.400 Look, in my previous book, Parasitic Mind, I talked about what happens to our cognitive system when it is parasitized by idea pathogens.
00:03:27.440 In my forthcoming book, Suicidal Empathy, I talk about what happens to our emotional system when it is parasitized by orgiastic empathy.
00:03:36.040 Put those two together, the zombification of our thinking abilities and our emotional abilities, and we become completely impotent to look at the reality, which is Islam is not an ideology that promotes congruency with our fundamental freedoms. 0.99
00:03:55.520 That I mean, nothing could be clearer than that. Right.
00:03:58.260 So how do we handle that?
00:03:59.980 I'm not I'm not sure, but certainly we can curb massive immigration from Islamic countries. 1.00
00:04:06.060 Right. Individual Muslims can be perfectly nice, but they come with a cultural and religious baggage. 1.00
00:04:12.700 Is that baggage congruent with our values? If yes, open the doors. If no, shut the doors.
00:04:18.900 Well said, Dr. Gadsad. Thank you, sir. We appreciate it.
00:04:22.060 Thank you. Cheers.
00:04:23.480 Dr. Zutty Jass.
