alhamdulillah alayum greetings of peace
to everybody hope you all are doing well
I'm going to touch upon a few things in
this video I think are very very
important one I'm going to talk about
the Judo match that happened in the
Olympics between the Egyptian and the
Israeli and from there I'm going to talk
about a disturbing a very disturbing
post that came after this shortly after
this all that and more in this video
keeping it real real how we keep it get
ready for Edie sit back
show all right let's get right into it
the Judo match at the Olympics and what
happens the Egyptian fighter loses
refuses to shake the hands and my
opinion is he should have shook his hand
he should have shook his hand but then
what I was thinking deeper you know you
flick what you you know you usually you
want to think like what I'm not going to
get into the to what what really was his
intention what it what it was but I was
just you know this is just for
conversation
I was thinking that if I was to ask an
an Israeli Jew who's uh who's been on my
program a friend of mine Miko pillet
whose father was a general in the
Israeli Army his family was part of
signing of the Declaration of
Independence really a um a person of of
high standing there he'd probably tell
me that it had it it would probably had
something to do I'm guessing with
the oppression
of the Palestinian people the aggression
the apartheid state protesting this of
of Israel that that's what what I'm
guessing and probably Rabbi Weiss who's
been on the dean show who's been on my
program he'd probably tell me the same
thing now do I agree with him not
shaking hands no he he should have shook
his hand I think uh that's that's what I
would have done this is what I would
have advocated for any of of of of my uh
my black bills competing and I would
have took it it reminds me of the the
verse in the Quran chapter 4134 where
God Almighty is saying that good and
evil are not the same repel evil with
what is better and then the one whom you
had might have had emnity with would
become a a
friend okay so we got that out of the
way I my opinion what I uh he should
have shook his hand let's move on from
there now the more alarming and
disturbing thing was some of the
comments that came after that in a
particular
post that really was something just
hatef filled derogatory
bigoted and it was from someone in
particular in the martial arts Community
the bz Jutsu community and I wanted to
to speak out instead of just being a
silent voice I wanted to be a loud voice
because if if if the people if we when
we see this hate we don't speak out
against it hate breeds hate and no
matter if you're a small leader a big
leader you're a leader and especially
someone who's involved in martial arts
you're helping to groom future
generations to be men of character not
just learning how to
fight uh learning the art but also
learning how to be a better human being
you need to be a good example and this
is totally opposite to that so you guys
are probably like what's the post what's
this all about now before I get to that
something very interesting everything
happens for a reason another thing that
motivates me was that this individual in
the community in the JSU Community this
person actually fought against one of my
black belts isn't that ironic uh
Professor Idris my cousin also they
competed let's go to this
match it's like a very interesting
feeling when you feel yourself in your
time to be capable to expose yourself in
a way to fight and compete that's not
means a Victory or defeat or anything
but just be able
to to to do it you
know finish
[Applause]
so when I learned about that that they
actually competed they fought and
actually at the end as you could see
that my black belill Idis he shook his
hand so shake the hand he shook his hand
no worries no problems it's all
good and part of good sportsmanship yes
let's do it move on but this person and
I'm going to get to this and and I and I
want to
we should always look for the good in
situations should always look that
everything happens for a reason there's
got to be we cannot be pessimists we
have to be optimists and look that
hopefully through this this person can
get informed get educated we can try to
dispel some of the myths the
misconceptions and move on good can go
ahead and be accomplish from the small
evil that's taking place now this
gentleman who made this post it's very
disturbing post he says why are people
complaining about his disrespect we know
what his religion brings and his hate
for Jews and Christians or should I say
anyone but a Muslim let's stop right
there we know what his religion
brings I mean this is very disturbing I
mean to go and insult over 1.7
billion human beings all across the
globe and especially
you know if you think about the United
Arab Emirates Abu Dhabi was started
there how many of the Gracies have great
relationship with the Muslims there in
that country Brazilians Americans people
from all walks of life people who are
training Jitsu in different parts of the
Muslim
world and we use this kind of to to
unify us and here comes somebody
spreading this hate we shouldn't
tolerate it it's not a joking matter we
should all condemn it
and the other thing he talks about about
the
hate that this individual's preaching
try to push it on like as if Muslims
hate Jews and Christians another
fallacy and they said we want to
separate the Muslims and the Christians
is obviously going to kill them and uh
they saw it coming so the Muslims went
around giving headscarves to the
Christian women and otherwise trying to
disguise them and they risk their lives
to save the Christian
minority some propaganda that I I I
really feel bad and sorry for people
like this who have fell victim to this
you know the islamophobia machine we
know that uh it's it's a $200
million B annual business it's it's
money bashing Islam bashing Muslims and
this person's fell victim to it but the
question is how long is he going to
remain a victim especially after he sees
this he can grow from this or continue
to remain ignorant so let's start with
the first part we know what his religion
brings I mean I I've you see this
individual wearing a Muhammad Ali
t-shirt let's start with that what did
it bring for the American hero the
Muslim American hero who a quarter of a
million people were affected by his
charity he went and helped those
American hostages get released he was
out there serving Humanity helping
Humanity he's a he's a legend he's a
legacy and he was a Muslim and he was a
Muslim Muhammad Ali you're wearing his
shirt let's move on from there The
Hating of Jews and Christian we know
that as a Muslim man you're allowed to
marry a Christian or a Jew I mean how
ironic is that you know you would you
would uh love it' be really a LoveHate
relationship can you imagine uh if if
this if this was true or you you'd have
to hate the one you love your your wife
this would be uh something uh impossible
to do and it's crazy and it's not a
joking matter but you do have this
ignorant that's prevalent misinformation
and we know that during the
inquisitions and many Jewish academics
will come out historians they know that
Jews fled from
persecution to Muslim lands and so did
Christians Open Arms they welcome even
during the
Holocaust so this is something absurd
it's disturbing it's wrong well look I'm
actually interestingly enough as an
orthodox Jew a great champion of Islam
the fact is that the Jewish Community
has a real debt to the Islamic community
because when we were kicked out of
Catholic Spain in 1492 when we were
kicked out of Catholic Portugal I think
in 1503 it was the Muslims who took the
Jews in that's why they're Jewish
communities in the Islamic World till
this very day the Islamic community the
Jewish community of Istanbul dates from
then um was it was specifically um
countries U not beyond the Ottoman
Empire where Jews were tolerated uh and
they were welcomed in and they they play
they paid a jizer there was a pole tax
they paid but they were never persecuted
there wasn't a Holocaust in the Islamic
world the fact is the Jews and Muslims
have so much in common I'd been out to a
supper club with uh Maria peva my
girlfriend it's a Friday night in New
York City around 11:30 uh we boarded the
Train
on Canal Street on last car on the Queue
it happened to board the queue train at
11:30 on Friday night Walter and three
of his friends were heading home after a
Hanukkah party in Manhattan when he
turned to another group of riders said
happy Hanukkah like happy Hanukkah my
friends like something to that effect
and almost immediately you see the look
in this guy's face you killed him you
killed Jesus you killed him on Hanukkah
you dirty Jew you effing Jew when Hassan
ascari another passenger tried to help
he was beaten up too Hassan's the only
person to try and help us at all
everybody runs to the back of the car it
was pretty shocking to see something
like that happening you know usually
don't expect something like that to go
on in the train here we have freedom of
speech and freedom of religion and what
I've seen this Friday night is just uh
put my spirits
down that guy Hanan my girlfriend and me
and my best friend might have been
beaten to death on that train if he
hadn't jumped in and helped us and Islam
teaches you to be you know helpful to
your fellow man to be kind courage is no
one else helped us except Hassan no one
else on the train a Muslim American
saved us when our own people were on the
train and didn't do anything and when
everyone else's people on the train do
anything someone who in the media often
gets painted as the enemy of Israel and
the Jews you know this is a Bangladeshi
Sunni Muslim this is someone that jumped
in he knew he were Jews to help us
hopefully this will reach a lot of
people and it will change the way people
view each other it will change the way
people act toward one another
he goes on to say that Muslims kill
Innocents through suicide bombing and
terrorism Le let's let's move on from
there we're going to see what the
experts have to say we're going to see
what the statistics are you know that
the FBI statistics report that 95% of
terrorist attacks from these years were
done by
non-muslims did you know that over a
thousand terrorist attacks in The Last 5
Years and less than 2% of those were
done by Muslims and I even get hesitant
to to say I get weary when you say by
Muslims because we know when we look at
you know some of these recent events
that have happened if these people were
following Islam they wouldn't be doing
such attacks because there's a profound
statement in the Quran and even before I
get to this statement we we see that a
Muslim is not supposed to be in a
nightclub own a nightclub smoking do
smoking the ganja drinking doing all of
these these things that are opposite to
Islam and you find these people who've
done such acts the small Fringe element
that the media portrays like they're
exemplary Muslims if they were
implementing Islam they wouldn't be in a
nightclub they wouldn't be smoking drugs
doing drugs drinking partying doing all
of these things hurting innocent people
this is totally the antithesis to Islam
it's it's very clear and there's a I
want you to remember this this verse
chapter 5 verse 32 in the Quran there's
no Constitution like it there's no
scripture like it anywhere in the world
it says killing one innocent human being
is if you as if you kill the world
saving one innocent
life is as if you saved the world let's
continue on did you know that with the
over
140,000 terrorist attack since
1970 this would still equal
I mean that's 140,000 since 1970 and if
you add how many Muslims those who claim
to have been Muslim you want to link
back to to being Muslim less than
0.009% look at the facts don't follow
the fiction so when we add that up
0.009% French
element and then you and then you if if
you want to make that with a single not
with a sing single digits you want to
calculate that okay now Muslims are
terrorists but not not all terrorists
are Muslim Muslims are terrorists y y y
uh then let's look at this logic why
don't we take that same logic and put it
to something that's more logical if you
look at of the recent Nobel Prize peace
winners you would have five out of the
12 so according to that logic all
Muslims should be peac makers because
they're wining the Nobel Peace Prize it
gets more interesting I mean the facts
Enlighten the mind they open the hearts
knowledge is key education that's what
the Deans show is about we cover all
these things you can go the Deans
show.com let me continue on you know
there was a study uh carried out by the
University of North Carolina and it
showed that less than
0.002% of Americans killed since 911
were killed by Muslim terrorists and
again if these people are following
Islam they wouldn't be doing any
terroris terrorism as far as cining
innocent men women children of course
you have a god-given right to defend
yourself but wrecking havoc in the land
and killing Innocents this is totally
forbidden in Islam now let let's verse
that and compare that to Consumer safety
reports and seeing how many they say
people were killed since then by their
TV by their Furniture I mean if you look
at toddlers with a gun you have more
more of a chance kill getting killed by
by a toddler with a gun by lightning or
by your furniture than you do some
Muslim terrorists and you've been
spooked I mean you're afraid obviously
the the islamophobia machine $200
million annually a business frightening
you the boogeyman's coming to get you
and you get scared you get spooked and
many intelligent people are seeing
Beyond this ignorant people are getting
informed if they're open-minded if
they're sincerely looking for the true
because seek and you shall find now we
know we that we
don't blame as logical human beings we
don't blame the car
manufacturer for a drunk driver so you
always have crazy individuals you have
this in every religion you had
355 mass shootings in
2015 you had three of those that were
again connected back to someone being a
Muslim background but you didn't hear
the person's Faith being mentioned his
ideology usually it's like okay is this
guy sick deranged what's going on and
when you dig deep into these people's
lives that have done these things that
you claim were Muslim you see that they
had some really psychological problems
sociopaths sick deranged it's evil acts
and Islam condemns it we condemn it the
common Mantra is why don't Muslims
condemn it we don't have the platform
nor the mic we don't own the Fox News my
friend now again we're analyzing looking
at his disturbing hatef bigoted post
dismantling it one by one using logic
reasoning facts not
fiction and suicide he mentioned suicide
bombing this has nothing to do with
Islam it's clearly mentioned in the
Quran that killing yourself is something
that's forbidden throwing yourself into
destruction and this is something a
consensus among the scholars Muslim
Scholars that suicide is something that
is forbidden so there's no suicide in
Islam you know a lot of these things
came and why why don't we go to The
Experts I mean look and research and
look and and see what the experts are
saying about this in my opinion it's
Injustice humiliation oppression that is
are the most common causes of ter some
people claim that religion motivates
terrorists however the academic research
of Dr Robert Pape has proved the claim
to be
false uh what I did is I collected the
first complete database of every SE
suicide terrorist attack around the
world since 1980 uh the first version of
this database uh was uh uh published a
few years ago and it went from 1980 to
2003 think of that as like the pre- irq
database and then the second version
from 2004 uh on think of that as the
data that's happened since Iraq um and
what the data shows quite clearly is
that uh the principal cause of suicide
terrorism is foreign occupation in that
period from 1980 to 2003 there were
315 completed suicide terrorist attacks
by
462 suicide terrorists who actually
killed themselves I don't mean attempts
these are people who actually killed
themselves the world leader during that
24-year period was not an Islamic group
at all there are the toml Tigers in Sri
Lanka the toml tigers are a Marxist
group a secular group a Hindu group in
fact over half of those 462 suicide
attackers were purely secular because
you see many uh Muslim suicide terrorist
groups are also P purely secular such as
the pkk in Turkey the pkk in Turkey
which did uh numerous suicide attacks in
the 1990s uh is again a Marxist read
anti-religious suicide terrorist group
because you see if Islam as a sort of a
radical religion or if it were just
radical Muslims uh doing this then what
you would expect is sort of this thin
veneer of suicide attack kind of
scattered all around the world uh you
would expect that oh there's 1.4 billion
Muslims you know there's this teeny tiny
Fringe of Muslims kind of everywhere
who'd be willing to do suicide attack uh
but that's not the way the data looks
it's really concentrated and and it's
really concentrated in
occupations and you go to these people I
mean not to Fox News and you know that's
what causes
radicalization when you self-educate and
you're reading the headlines and you
know snippet here snippet there and then
you create a f self-fulfilling prophecy
in your head you know you're coming at
the Quran looking at things out of
context you're getting your information
from islamophobes you become islamophobe
you become a radical you start
radicalizing your students I mean this
needs to stop you we you know we hope
that the individual grows out of this we
dispel we we dism dismantling this one
by one we got one more to go he talked
about that Muslim men they behead their
wives how ridiculous I mean God I I it's
just really absurd if a man was to do
that to to behead his wife he the
Islamic Court would put him to death
he'd be executed I mean so that's done
with that what else do we have that he
talks about he said he didn't Shake Jews
hand dahh complain about the real
problem his religion and his leaders
okay so we take it back it's a very nice
shirt that the
Mr the the guy is wearing with Muhammad
Ali I like to use this example because
this is an exemplary Muslim and there
are a lot of those he's someone that was
living Islam personified Islam through
his actions you're wearing his shirt my
friend he was an American Muslim hero
and Islam through the facts that I just
quoted clearly is opposite to
what people like yourself are thinking I
really encourage you to watch the dean
show to look more into this you know
this is something that is is very
disturbing you've
insulted over 1.7 billion human
beings I I'd like for other jiujitsu
teachers and instructors who see this to
come out and condemn you know people
like this they can either grow from this
come out they should
apologize we can shake hands we can move
forward we can grow from this just like
the man that reminds me who who wear a
derogatory
shirt in Arizona and then he went into
the mosque afterwards he was an hater he
was a hater but then he got to ask the
tus tough questions to the Muslims he
made a human
connections and then out of respect for
the ISL Islamic people know what I know
now since I have talked to them and
spoke with them no no I would not do
that again um just because I I don't
want to offend or hurt those people he
came out a reformed man and I have hope
I hope I have hope for Humanity I have
hope for this individual he can come out
even better from this or I mean sadly I
hope he doesn't remain in that hole of
ignorance cuz he's only going to bring
dis he's only he's only going to hurt
himself his heart his his humanity and
and for those people who are under him
but let let me finish off with this I
mean you do have issues I mean what can
be the cause I mean we have to get to
the root of the problem and then do some
self-
evaluation and we've dispelled this myth
about Islam you know someone picking up
the Quran and because they did that you
know now they're suicide bombers they're
terrorists no I I just gave you the
facts rewind it see it again look at it
again it's very clear but if we look at
for instance just let's let's you let's
listen um let's see Iraq for a second
let's look to that the 13 years of
sanctions you know the death of 1
million children over the course of 13
years imagine you had innocent I mean
innocent life there here it's it's all
the same it's innocent life you had two
in 2003 an invasion based on false
premises on lies do you remember that
and then conservative I mean low numbers
to estimate
170,000 innocent people had died from
this this war
you know the reliable sword the Lancet
puts it at over
760,000 innocent human beings you know
you go into a country you exploit its
resources flip it upside down turn it
into a ghetto imagine if that happened
here in America how many terrorists
would have that had created you know
there was a headline in a popular
newspaper the onion says new bomb able
to create a thousand new terrorists with
one blast when these bombs are dropped
in someone's backyard at someone's
wedding drone attacks all these things
that um imagine if it was happening here
you know these people they they end up
losing themselves you know you get your
whole family destroyed again Islam
doesn't condone it Islam condemns
killing of innocent wom men women and
children you don't reciprocate this kind
of evil with evil as I quoted the the
verse and there is so much self
reflection that we need to
do and to see that war mongering this
war machine this is not bringing about
any good right and this is the root of
the cause of the problem and you hear a
lot about this Isis DH you know these
people are killing more Muslims did you
know that they're killing more Muslims
you just had to sent in Pakistan where's
the the pray for Pakistan in seven 70
innocent people had died it seems like a
Muslim bud is cheap and remember a
Muslim is simply one who who submits to
the will of God you know what is Islam
brought it's it's brought that
individual to have peace with his
creator peace within himself peace with
humanity and society and a person who
has peace in himself he's
not expounding this hate rhetoric and
and it goes down to a deeper problem
within oneself that people have when
they're full of this hate they they're
taught this hate they end up breeding
more hate and we that's where we have to
as a community shut this this hate
rhetoric down
we have to condemn this again insulting
over 1.7 billion human beings all across
the world you can't separate the two
when you say F Sharia it's like saying F
the Bible F when you insult you you want
to get to know someone you come in and
you assault his mother I mean what
that's not the whole essence of freedom
of speech my friends you know the for
the founding forefathers of this country
didn't make freedom of speech based on
those premises and you insult this way
of life that brings peace to to so many
people's hearts I mean you know part of
Islam is the deep love and reverence for
Jesus peace be upon him and his Blessed
Mother Mary there's a whole chapter
named after her in the Quran if you got
to know this I mean you would see that
there is so many more
commonalities there's so many more
commonalities between Muslims and Jews
and Christians and people H the good in
humans have forced them to to look
Beyond this hate and have investigated
and see this and and and what kind of
people accept
Islam women
particularly why would they accept Islam
if if it was preaching these kind these
evil things but no they see the opposite
what what's the difference is that
they've investigated they've looked into
it they've taken a a analytical
scientific approach and they've seen
like hold on man we've been fed fairy
tales fiction false propaganda and and
many people we see that Islam is the
fastest growing second largest religion
in the world it's not going anywhere
Christians aren't going anywhere so we
need to learn to work together to make
Society to make the world a better place
and to teach our students and those
under us you know you have I often give
the example of myagi The Karate Kid when
he was teaching his student Daniel son
not just fighting but some principles
for life and then you had kobra Kai you
want to be Cobra Kai you want to be
myagi my
friend you want to be somebody who's
spreading hate or love understanding you
got to pick a side and if you continue
to stay on that side you'll just bring
more destruction upon your heart your
soul your soul you'll be a a person who
will just be angry and
bitter and you'll lose so many
opportunities to make more connections
with more human beings to develop more
understanding and to live a more
fruitful and well-balanced life so I
hope that one day I can
meet people like this who've had a
change of heart I my door is open to
come and sit and we can discuss these
matter matters like two and intelligent
human beings not insulting one another
again you don't get to making a human
Connection by insulting someone's
someone's mother someone's father
someone's
family but this is something that's even
more dearer to us is his way of life
from the Creator Islam submission to the
will of God submission to the Creator
not the
creation Now I think I've covered
this enough and I hope that we can grow
from this and I hope this person comes
out and really reflects on these
ignorant bigoted statements that the
individual made apologizes to to the
over 1.7 billion people that he has he
has offended and all the people who are
working for jujitsu and see it growing
in this part of the world and the United
Arab Emirates people who who work there
who live live with Muslims who who
experience the love and generosity of
Muslims and the instructor
people who use this as a unifying Factor
let's not let someone use it as a
dividing factor and divide us condemn it
speak against it if you if you like what
we have to say like this video
and and hopefully I'll look forward to
this person growing from this and I'm
looking for the good to come out of it I
hope so I really do I pray I pray for
for him for Humanity that God guides us
all to to peace and purpose in life and
so we can have good relationships with
the other and we can eradicate this hate
I end with a quote from Nelson Mandela
who said people aren't born hating
they're taught to hate we can teach them
how to love and that's through education
this is the important thing call us 1800
662 Islam if if anybody watching this
has some more some more questions about
the matter or tune in to the Deen
show.com I cover this extensively I talk
about many of the false
pretenses that people push out there
expound on and it's and it's usually the
sincere people intelligent people people
who want to work towards a better
tomorrow towards understanding tolerance
and love you know who are open-minded
and and your mind cannot work as the
common saying goes unless it's open like
a parachute like a parachute and
ignorance is a poison it kills love and
friendship and and let's not remain
ignorant let's grow to understand make
the human connection and um
I hope uh you guys enjoyed this short
video I'll see you next time tun in
every week to the dean show until then
subscribe right now alikum peace be with
you
