[Applause]
growing up in America Eddie lived the
American dream he achieved it all before
the age of 30 money cars women but
beneath the surface something didn't
feel
right after achieving everything he ever
desired Eddie turned his back and walked
away from it all and took his life in a
whole new Direction let us take you on
his
journey Eddie was born in Buffalo New
York to parents who had immigrated from
Yugoslavia in the early
1970s soon after Eddie's birth Eddie's
Father decided to move to Chicago in
search of a better job my wife she was
working I was working
I was working also nighttime during the
day you know uh on the weekend usually
his father comes late uh from that kind
of a work a kid uh was uh many times
left on his own was a sun vacuum uh
there and uh he just filled it up with
uh undesirable friends and uh with um
undesirable things I used to also took
him took him to nightclub where I sing
you know or you know playing pool pool
during the daytime when I free that time
I I don't know really that how to raise
you know a child we were more consumed
with what normal kids are consumed with
just having a good time really just
playing video
games getting out there on the streets
and trying to find something exciting
Adrenaline Rush growing up as a youth I
had a lot of um say we had a lot of
maybe confusion from his early years
Eddie always found himself in trouble I
wasn't the oldest one of the bunch but I
was willing always to go a step further
I would sometimes go and defend those
who I thought to be really my brothers
and those who are close to me I was the
one to step up and make sure that nobody
was going to mess with my brothers my
friends I remember one time and they
catch him and and some other his friend
you know and he was a kind of leader
growing up
he was I would say in his early years
was you know not too far from trouble um
but he was always at the same time uh
like a concerning brother even though he
was involved in a lot of trouble he
still would make sure that you know me
being younger would not you know make
those same mistakes he made usually uh
uh children form by their 15th year you
know and once it's a little bit harder
to form them later uh so during those 15
years uh definitely there was uh some
lack of uh proper uh upbringing you know
you know children are like a garden you
know you water the garden you weed the
garden you know uh regularly and you
miss it one week and the garden is
overtaken by the weeds in a society that
demanded both parents to work children
would be the ones most affect
Ed uh kids sometimes uh need more
attention if if they don't get it at
home because the parents are busy
working and I know his parents were
working a lot and then uh
he seems to me he needed more time to be
spent with him by his parents Society
taught Eddie to hone a tough idea of
manhood in elementary school you would
get in fights and you have have one
group of kid kids fighting the other
group of kids so now you pick up on this
and that's that like Street mentality
there was not uh knowing the truth you
know that was just believing whatever he
he sees on TV or reads in a papers uh uh
it was my impression that's that's how
he saw the world you know in
Chicago going to high school here you
kind of feel like to to prove your
strength and to be a ladies man to chase
women that's what most youth are talking
about and that's what your level of
status is he started having his problems
you know Disobedience towards parents
gang activity fights uh he was uh he was
you know kind of disturbed uh things uh
were going out of the control you know
one fight here another fight there
trying to get this person's attention
school really was secondary it was
getting in class just to wait for the
Bell to ring looking up at the time oh
man this is dragging on I hope this will
end soon so I can go and try to hook up
with this person or this crowd cut clasp
uh they are being bombarded by all uh
from all sides by uh things uh which are
immoral which are not good which are not
right on the TV on the internet uh on
the street uh newspapers there is so
much uh bad things and negativity that
children is soaking up all those bad
influences from outside if the parent
doesn't take time to neutralize those
the the children don't uh have a way uh
of learning what is good what is bad
they just take the easy way and pick up
whatever is thrown at them as we learn
birds of the feather flock together so I
was going around along with the bad
company I end up getting what they call
violated in they put you up basically
beat you up for about you know a couple
minutes and now afterwards you're you're
in you've taken the beating and now
you're part of that clip that
organization that gang street gang the
false sense of Independence brainwashed
Eddie into living a rough and tough gang
life because whole the whole gang thing
the whole perception here is that this
is now my family and now I felt like I
belong to something I belong to this
group I belong to what I thought now was
my family which I had my my family at
home who really cared about me and they
wanted what's what's best for me not
with these people they didn't care about
me misery loves company so I'm going
through life running away from home and
my mother she was going out of her mind
trying to find me and she drove up one
time into the school where we would hang
out and we're in this little Courtyard
and she drives up this is the only place
where like the police would drive up but
she she drove up in here and I we
thought it was the police so now I'm
running from the police I'm running from
my parents I'm running here running
there I'm running everywhere but mainly
I'm running the wrong way gang life took
hold of Eddie and forced him to travel a
negative and destructive
path going from one high school to the
next I had to leave that Lincoln Park
because it was an opposing gang so now
if they find out that I'm in this gang I
mean that's the whole school is
associated with that gang so I got to
get out of that school now I end up
getting transferred to another school
and I remember one time when I was in
the cafeteria and this gang manger of
the opposite gang he came and he threw
down my gang sign so that was the wrong
thing to do and then this is something
silly that you're ready to kill the
person over some stupid hang gesture so
he does that and I throw his down he
ends up pulling a knife I end up pulling
some mace I spray him and from there all
the different security guards came at
the school we get taken in to
the
disciplinary office and I'm expelled
finally I started figuring out that
these people didn't care about me these
gang bangers when you're sitting in a
jail cell and they catch you for some
kind of stupid crime some of these
people the police show you who the head
guys are and they've been arrested for
murder and all sorts of drug trafficking
these are the higher ones ones that are
basically pimping the young guys I said
I'm sitting in a jail cell and where are
they at nobody's coming to get me they
don't care about me and am I going to
end up with a mug shot like this and I'm
I going to end up tomorrow killing
somebody cuz that's what it's heading to
I'm mean you're going to get killed or
I'm going to kill somebody I'm going to
end up in jail destroying my life I have
a good family it's not worth it I ended
up going to Germany I thought this would
be a good break he disappeared you know
he took off we we went uh to different
places in Chicago uh where we thought he
could be to find him you know and we
couldn't find him that day my uh
brother-in-law from Germany I have a
sister in Germany he call us he says are
you okay you you let let Eddie come over
here says no after spending time in
Germany Eddie realized his life was not
leading anywhere he finally returned to
Chicago only this time it was not to the
gangs big cash money was on Eddie's mind
how to make money so the direction I'm
getting from is from movies from actors
from the gangsters on the big screen and
I can relate to them you know everyone
needs a role model and I thought that
these the rappers the musicians the
actors I'm starting to see other people
imitate them so I feel you know what I
can portray this role quite well he
gradually worked his way up in the club
industry but money are not it still
brought trouble one night policeman
called me from the station say you his
uh father yes come on get him from the
station he's locked up I went over
there also individual walking from from
the station all of blood everything you
know I I just went straight to the to
the desk you know I was worried for my
Eddie and this officer he say this
officer he says you Edd's father is do
you see
this the person just walk
out that's what you sound done to
him fearing that Eddie would get into
deeper trouble or Worse his father
convinced Eddie to enlist with him in
the US Army as a civil interpreter in
war torn Bosnia
after I had been in Bosnia working with
the military for some time I hooked up
with individual that I inspired to be
like when you watch some of the other
Good Fellas and you hear about alone
this individual was the closest
resemblance to those people and I wanted
to be the top of that lifestyle and he
took great care of me he took me into
his home as many homes he showed me
around and said pick one and I saw the
lifestyle he had that country basically
it was his and he was someone who was
who you didn't want to cross and he was
respected and I took to him and we were
very
close Eddie returned to Chicago from
Bosnia with a new understanding of the
world and the same way he demanded
respect and loyalty this is something
that I demanded and if I didn't get
then I took and I put fear in people the
same way he was
doing influenced by his father's work in
the club industry Eddie naturally began
to seek out that path we worked for uh
for one of the largest promoters in
Chicago Eddie worked for him and I
worked for him as well Eddie was one of
the guys one of the enforcers he used to
run around basically just beat up people
that that was really Eddie's nature and
his essence uh Eddie was also a ladies
man Eddie brought in a lot of the ladies
at any given moment he could have seven
to eight women that are running around
the club looking for him while all of
this was happening Eddie who loved to
fight found a new form of release in
Brazilian jiu-jitsu I had boxed did some
boxing as a teen and from there I had
tried different martial arts what I
really got fascinated with was the the
rationale and logic that hit me when I
saw graci C Brazilian Jutsu that really
when a 120 pound 130 pound guy around
that he put me was called a submission
arm lock and I was so Gass and I was
just about back then working out because
it was the mentality you know the more
you can bench press the more you know
you were stronger and physically able to
push people around and along with the
boxing and that that was a good
combination but once jiujitsu that took
hold this was something that was really
captivating and I just took it to a
whole another level you know there's 24
hours in a day but it seemed like uh for
25 hours he was training you know he was
researching training sparring just you
know was in love with it Jiu-Jitsu you
know change him you know and I saw that
it wasn't always about bro strength that
there was a different way to approach it
and and that was a totally different
experience the Jiu-Jitsu I really start
to get involved in this because it
fascinated me it was practical it it
worked I started to train in the
Jiu-Jitsu I became the person who was
out here the instructor I became his top
student but Jiu-Jitsu wasn't enough to
keep Eddie away from the cooler
lifestyle worldly side someone looking
in you've got it made but there's
something missing inside one minute
happy because there's some pleasure that
happens in my life maybe I make some
money maybe I hook up with a certain
young lady really just again marking
time marking time I know Eddie's
presence was very significant in the
club everybody knew Eddie from the
outside people looking in said hey this
is the Man Bo he was dating one of the
hottest girls in the city he decided to
get a uh get a Harley a chopper 430 a
nice new Mercedes oh he's got the nice
car he's got the people who are flocking
to be around him they want to be on that
guest list you're living a dream but at
the end when you go through this cycle
again you just it's more corruption
you're around people who are just cut
throat dirty business people liars and I
had learned better values from my family
as the cool became common Eddie began to
have a new sense of life we were about 6
months into uh owning this nightclub
together we were probably drinking six
nights a week cuz we're at the bar all
the time so his training went down the
amount of women went up and Eddie I
think to this day may look at it God's
way of kind of saying yeah you're having
fun but this isn't the way you're
supposed to be having fun all the power
he possessed still made him feel
helpless Eddie once beat up his best
friend who tried to steal Eddie's
girlfriend I don't think he felt any
better about himself his ego may have
felt better but his inner soul didn't
feel better his inner soul was broken at
that moment he started to realize that
as strong as he is and as intimidating
as he is as an individual it really
didn't matter there was no peace the
overall entertainment around me it had
me hypnotized until situations got
heated like a big big fight we had one
of the guys a few of them really got
hurt one guy almost died and next thing
you know at 3: in the morning the
following night I'm getting knocked on
the door the detectives are there and
I'm in the bullpen and in the county
jail and I'm praying earnestly oh God
help me oh God help me get me out of
here I don't want to be in jail
everything let me just get out and kiss
the ground body wants to be there the
Glamorous Life Eddie had been living
felt shallow and empty there was no
peace of mind initially when we met it
Eddie seemed pretty perfect the perfect
lifestyle all the women all the cars a
tough guy he can do anything he wants to
do runs around with his head up but as I
got to know him it seemed it seemed
flawed there was things missing his
physical being was great for his ego but
it left him empty I kept it always real
I said if I do make a million I'll be
the same guy I might have a bigger house
maybe a nicer car but what then right
near the end there were there was just a
void and I started to look at some of
the celebrities lives and I would go
through talking to some of these people
and man these people are more depressed
than the average Joe feeling lost Eddie
started searching for answers I
sincerely wanted to know what was my
purpose in life it didn't take long
before Eddie was reminded of death one
time from coming after an after party we
had like maybe a half a dozen of us
stuck in an elevator and I started to
think about that moment when we were
stuck in the elevator everybody is just
cramped together and I was like wow this
is scary the incident shook Eddie up
this was the reality it was death and it
scared me cuz I knew that one day I
would be in the grave I would be in the
grave there is no an if buts no one can
differ about this we can all agree we
are going to die and the entertainment
around us is just having us not reflect
over this I started to read books I was
like a sponge I just kept taking in
everything I took in it just required
effort it it it required sincerity
wanting it first because if you're not
in the market if you're not in the
market then that's a different story
doesn't matter what comes to you you're
not going to be interested but I was a
in the market and I was sincere and who
bet better to tell me than the one who
created me this life is a test it's
short and we have to be in a constant
state of self-development to develop
ourselves to be the best human beings
and I couldn't do it on my own whims and
desires so I started to familiarize
myself I started to look into different
religions because I wanted to see hold
on what about all the religions out
there there's a lot of them so let me
see now let me have an open mind let me
be not nonbiased and look into the
different ways that are claiming that
they're the truth I was in Brazil I was
maybe a we from coming home and I was
talking to my brother on the phone and
then he asked me a question on Islam
like did you read this book he wanted to
make sure himself and inside his heart
that that was the truth the more I
looked into it the more I saw that Islam
didn't promote terrorism that Islam
didn't oppressed women that Islam was
free from all these lies that were just
people backbiting the same way they
backbite out there against individuals
they were basically
talking out of ignorance not knowing and
then I felt compelled to talk with
people when my brother first started uh
to learn Islam he was so enthusiastic
that he has always been stubborn um
believing that his way was the right way
and so I think by him embracing that and
understanding it and by arming himself
with all the knowledge he can he became
a very lethal individual in his aspect
of his religion he did in the beginning
when the weight room talking really loud
and things like that but we shortly
found out after people get can be
offended people can have the wrong
impression he started to talk a lot more
about religion more barriers came up
because I don't think I was there where
he was at that moment in time there was
so many things he was struggling with he
was struggling with religion trying to
change his ways not drinking anymore
even after I learned I can't change
people's hearts at least I can share
this message and try to clear the
negative stereotypes people actually
started talking behind his back look at
him he's trying to be a a good guy and
it was not as easy as Eddie thought it
would be I had been reading more and
just really thought that if I just share
this with the people that I knew that
they will come to the same realization
they would come to the same conclusion
you know that I came to that this is
indeed the truth and the more I shared
it with people it would be funny because
i' get silly arguments people just out
of ignorance some people they really
wouldn't even you know consider it it
was just thinking as they're listening
how I can refute this and giving all the
different proofs that I had found it
really you know for the people that I
was talking to it wasn't really moving
them whatsoever had an impact on me I
was depressed because these people that
they love to listen to me talk about
everything else but when I started to
talk about more serious things hey guys
look you know what's the purpose of life
people were were just St stubbornly
resistant and you I start looking at you
like you're you know from outer space
and then I opened up the Quran and in in
Surah 2 Verse 6 as I rent from the
beginning this is a book where there is
no doubt I realized that I'm not in
control of the hearts of the people it
was the one who is the creator he's in
control of the hearts it wasn't about
forcing people to change I did my job I
shared what I knew this new information
you know maybe God Almighty will guide
them at a different time maybe at one
point they'll realize and go through
some of the things that I went through
to get here Eddie's newly acquired
knowledge allowed him to see life in a
very different
way now the transition didn't happen
overnight it's not like now you find the
truth and all of a sudden you're just
free from all the different vices that
you've had it was a constant struggle I
gave up drinking right away I didn't I
never smoke but there was other vices
that took time for me to get rid of out
of my life life when I was in these
places it was funny that I was giving
people da I was talking about something
and it was it was different to be in
these these places and you see
everybody's drunk everybody's out of
their mind so he started less and less
going to the club he would go to his
parties but leave like be there for an
hour and leave uh sometimes he would
even show up and just have uh me and uh
someone else run it he kind of like
wanted to talk to people about Islam but
then he was kind of being a hypocrite
cuz he was in the scene and I think it
forced him more to get out of it I
didn't give up the prayer I would hide
somewhere to make it if I couldn't make
it in the club I would walk out of the
club and I would go and make it in the
car I did not give up that prayer that
was something that I feel it saved me
Eddie had stopped drinking at this point
me and Eddie used to drink a lot Eddie
used to drink maybe more than me at that
point Eddie had quit drinking this over
a 2 three month time period he was
praying five times a day he was uh doing
a lot of reading lot of studying on
Islam giving up the old lifestyle proved
to be a real struggle for Eddie but
determined as he was he quickly adapted
to the situation Eddie was able to
initially separate the two it was like a
switch he was able to come into
Butterfield 8 the nightclub we promoted
every Saturday and be a different person
maybe he would slip he would have a
drink but then he would leave and it was
like he would he would shut the switch
off so now he would go and he would
start he would listen to a lot of
documentaries he would go read the Quran
he would do uh he would pray it was Dr
Jackal Mr hiy and he was struggling with
that but the effort was there there was
a conscious effort to make that switch
once Eddie myself parted ways and we
stopped doing events together that's
where Eddie was able to separate himself
completely from the night life the
nightclub environment Eddie felt
imprisoned by everything that was
surrounding him I have to get out of
this totally and the more I learned and
the more I implemented the easier it
became for me to start the transition to
leave off a lot of the old friends I
almost to get away from Chicago he need
to get out um so he came down here
visited I know one night uh his last
night here in Windsor he was staying at
the Cino I think it was a conscious
effort on his part to try to hit rock
bottom he did things uh things that he
uh he pushed himself to the to the
ethical extremes that he could do things
that to this day I think played played
an an integral role in helping him uh
evolve into the person he is I remember
seeing him the next day before he left
and there was that emptiness in his eyes
it was a bigger emptiness that I think
I've ever really seen in his eyes
jiujitsu provided a way out for Eddie I
want to thank God also for Jiu-Jitsu
because Jiu-Jitsu also helped me
to spend more time doing something
constructive something something that's
fun and and it helped me also to channel
some of my energy into something
positive and it's it's a struggle like
life itself is a struggle you to get
better you have to be more disciplined
to achieve the different belt levels you
have to stay with it you cannot give up
working out you cannot give up you see
the benefits at the end the marshal arts
have a a a very strong history in um Ed
kid and mannerisms and things that uh
that a way a culture a way to live
that's outside of fighting you know like
having respect being humble things like
that so um when we before we were black
belts and before we were practicing
Islam we were like uh the complete
opposite when you sign up for a
membership at a health club or at
Jujitsu or anywhere there needs to be
some effort you get excited now you say
okay I need this is what I need in my
life I need to lose weight now you get
in there and you sign up but after two
three class you're just lazy I mean you
just don't want to continue forward and
now you only hinder yourself now you're
not going to accomplish that great
feeling of feeling good looking good
being healthy it's going to require some
work it's the same thing here it's the
same thing with this way of life that
the creator has laid down for all of us
to live it's a way to develop yourself
to be a better human being so you're
going to have to sacrifice you're going
to have to be disciplined there's
something that you might have to give up
but if you are sincere and you earnestly
want it you're going to see that these
things weren't even good for me in the
first place I was talking about like
these are material things but if you
look a little further out the box you
see this universe and everything in it
that design indicates a
designer we don't like
that we can understand that but when
people they go and they direct they
supposed to be direct D it to the crater
they direct it to someone
else you give me $100 instead of saying
thank you yeah I say thank you to
someone
[Music]
else so it should be directed to the one
who's giving you the eyes the ears your
life will give you death one cre not to
his Messengers Saints Idols icons to him
yeah but of course if he trained me I
should say thank
you Embrace with a hug and greet me
with I'm a Muslim I came from the
streets to Islam theer when you see your
brother give a b Embrace with a hug and
with certain things I did on road I hope
I never have to look back the C crap so
so for a good rap the life control hold
in my hand as a hood rat my long shine
on my waist yeah I would slash my first
trap had my adversary Shook Back my
first whip big rims when I pushed that
my first time locked in pen it would
never end they would release me a ro
with rashing up my pain then I end up
back again what's the point fam peace in
my life for hitting shoots with a few
grbs peace of my life for moving food to
policeman peace of my life for pulling
moves on the street plan back in the
meat van Shack with the Deep fam and the
roads are in the prison how can he stand
I found
like an African diing for diamonds in
the jail while I'm
riding I'm finding back to myself
contemplating where my life's
been wow it's deep
[Music]
brother going to a high school to talk
to some faculty there to some
students this time I'm still waiting for
GI
[Applause]
everyone I get very excited to talk to
the non-muslims our brothers in humanity
you have three types of Brothers you
have your blood brothers then you have
those Brothers in
humanity when you hear Islam and you
hear something blowing up you right away
ATT tribute a lot of times people people
attribute that oh this is another Muslim
and now it's another event that's
attributed to Islam Islam peace acquired
by submitting your will to the will of
the Creator so you'll be getting God
willing some of these DVDs which I have
some of the guests that come on Scholars
they come on the show and we helped
tackle many of the subjects that are on
the minds of the people thank you for
coming
nice to meet you are
[Music]
you alhamdulillah asalam Alum peace be
unto you welcome to the dean show which
is a way of life we try to put out there
for everyone to see helping you
understand Islam and Muslims uh when he
started the dean show um it was just an
idea I was on my way I was about to do
the fifth pillar of Islam I believe he
was going to Hajj at the time with my uh
good friend so they wanted to uh make
sure that they did all the Hajj uh
requirements you know that they
fulfilled their hjj and there was a lot
of different technical things that I had
to remember the ins and outs what I
couldn't do could do so they decided to
uh ask an Islamic scholar random
questions and tape it and we wanted to
make it more interactive where it wasn't
just a person giving a lecture it was
someone that we can interact with and
make it fun and we did that and from
there it turned out great and then it
spun off to another topic to another
topic it actually began with a regular
cheap camera only $4 or $500 camera and
uh it was one angle and we'll kind of
zoom in the camera the the tripod was
shake or we'll have it in our hands and
I was trying to record and too much
wiggling and Edd's concept was he he
wanted to start a show on Islam and
spread it to the non-muslims he just
fully wanted to
uh have other people experience what
he's going through you did kind of was
like why are we doing this no one's
going to take you serious and but Eddie
wasn't going to take no for an answer I
said what Eddie Eddie once he starts
something he goes 100% so he wanted to
do it so what he did he he didn't want
to talk he took a camera didn't matter
what camera it was and started recording
cuz he knows if you don't start you're
never going to get nowhere if you you
know he had to start somewhere it wasn't
always that easy I had to be out there
struggling like anybody in any field
that they want to grow I had to be out
there putting the work I had to approach
people people didn't know who I was and
I had to be out there and trying to
convince people to be on the show when
he first started off off when no one
didn't know who he was he was trying to
get some in contact with some of the
bigger shakes and they didn't want to he
was frustrated that some of them didn't
want to talk because they weren't sure
where the the video was going to go I
had to fly myself to different places to
try to get people I had to if I met
someone who I was going to bring on have
to pay for them to come out and it took
a lot of work you know since 2006 we
started and now we're on the local cable
station in Chicago we're also on another
station that reaches Canada and the US
and working to have it in UK on some
satellite stations

are just a angry they haven't figured
out why they're here in life nor are
they seeking the truth so they're just
bitter we're not trying to get involved

P every now and then I'll try to put
something in his ear but he's taken this
thing uh uh by the horns and and is uh
writing it out that that first episode

going on here the dean show combined
with his passion for jiu-jitsu has made
Eddie achieve goals he never thought
possible Eddie's Purpose with the dean
show was to Enlighten people who might
be in a similar condition as he was in
the past it is good for him to make up
for all those uh uh times that he missed
doing what is right so you know and he
probably realizes that that's why he's
working extra hard you
know Eddie continues his struggle to
help people find a way that has been
lost to them for he himself is an
example of
redemption he is living proof that if
one puts his or her mind to it they can
achieve anything if you want to do it
and you have a willpower you can do it
and if you if you have uh some support
and some guidance it is possible being
part of the biggest family of martial
arts with over a few hundred students um
having a family having three kids right
now and in the dean show man man it's
it's a lot of work he's he's a machine
