this is the de
the is
the the
the aldam Alum peace be with you welcome
to the dean show on gu us wait hold on
hold on hold on welcome to gu us TV and
a version of the dean show we are with
Shay youf Estus on gu us TV Dean live we
got a live studio audience and we're
going to be asking some tough questions
the time is short and we got to get with
it we got to my left should be to my
right but to my left over here we
starting with Josh Evans Joshua Evans M
sa and Shake Yousef Esters and we begin
with peace
Alum all right so we got some questions
now not to waste time we're going to get
straight into it serious business now
this is serious business on The Dean
show on guidance TV channel 99 channel
99 on world TV channel 19 on Galaxy and
also channel 25 on Galaxy what are we
doing with all these mics sh you're the
one with the
problem okay
so yeah okay so now we have some
questions from the D show audience and
also from our live audience here now
first we want to know the people want to
know that you guys you know we have a
lot of not yet mus Muslims out there
potential Muslims you know we know that
Islam is the fastest growing way of life
in the world today yet most
misunderstood so we want to clear many
of these misconceptions that are on the
minds of the people so one thing that we
have people want to know now do you guys
have any affiliation with uh Osama Obama
or
alqaeda now this is for anybody anybody
can take the mic and go ahead and
ask we have no affiliation with Osama
bin Maden
we have I voted for
Obama we
have affiliation to the extent that he's
the president of our country and
we some have called him Barack Osama but
actually Barack
Obama but no Islam is a universal way of
life that is inclusive of Muslims from
all parts of the globe from Europe Asia
Africa North America South America
and so while the individual that you
mentioned may be a Muslim the majority
of the scholars of the Muslim world have
identified him as being someone who has
gone outside of the the guidance of
Islam and has created so much fit and
Allah knows
best anybody else want to add something
to that Joshua Evans you vestus I'm
happy okay so we're going to continue on
now leading into the next question
question this question is similar to the
one we just
add that we just asked tell us if the
the the question is asking if now for
instance and I'm going to just kind of
add my own twist to it okay if if
because it's talking about the shoe
bomber the underwear bomber and The Time
Square bomber mic yeah so if if the shoe
bomber cuz we have all these types of
bombers or the underwear bomber the
pajama bomber or the Time Square bomber
was to come to you for some advice
before one of these incidents happened
how would you talk to and address the
issue with this individual to prevent
something like this or what
about uh President
Obama well I
mean if if anyone came to me telling me
that they want to use violence to solve
any issue that they have with anyone and
that and to harm innocent people to
accomplish any agenda that they have and
then they tell me that they're a Muslim
the first thing I'm going to tell them
is they' lost their mind completely they
have to be crazy they need some some
psychological help and number two I
would let them know that the things that
they are attempting to do invalidate the
very religion which they are professing
to believe in if they say that we're
Muslim because there is not one single
iota of EV evidence from any authentic
religion religious teaching in Islam
that allows us to use
violence against innocent people
to uh uh vent our anger or political
agendas it is not possible in Islam the
only type of aggression that is allowed
in Islam is in defense of human life
dignity and Justice and this is very
clear in the teachings of Islam that to
associate even the words that they use
and the terminology that they use you
know that the Jihad is a global war uh
uh from Muslims a violent war from
Muslims to you know ex extract the
revenge and dominance over the world is
pretty much an oxy because the
word Jihad itself or any context of it
that we see in the Quran or in the
teachings of the Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon Him is an idea to
prevent The Taking of innocent lives to
prevent Injustice to prevent op
to prevent people from being subdued
beyond their rights and capacities as
human beings and the word Jihad canotes
the struggle to prevent that so to say
that Jihad is that is pretty much
oxymoron and comes from a lack of
understanding of the very ideology
itself from the Islamic teachings
[Music]
very on this episode of the dean show on
gu us TV we sh you Estus mut sa and
Joshua Evans we know that you shake youf
Estus and and this I think is directed
to you and actually it can pass on
because all of you were former
Christians and now you have by your own
free choice you decided to be Muslims
and simply Muslim is one who surrender
and submits to the one God so did any of
your family members the questioner is
asking uh disown you because of this
decision that you made in your
lives well in my own case I did have
some some of my relatives in the
beginning became pretty upset about the
whole thing because after all here I've
been preaching to them out of the Bible
and some of them were kind of loose
Christians to start with but I put
pressure on them to tighten it up you
know follow Christianity here's the
Bible this is what we got to do and when
they come in line and start really
getting serious about religion then all
of a sudden I swing over to Islam it's
like oh man so yeah initially but then
later alhamdulillah my father became
Muslim my stepmother she said the the
first half of Shahar right before she
died and uh since then I've had much
better relationship really with my
family
okay alhamdulillah I have not had much
opposition from my family uh
actually my nuclear family early coming
up was just my mother and alhamdulillah
she took her shahada 3 months before she
returned to Allah ald so this is a real
blessing for me and for her and in fact
when Allah called her back she died in
Ramadan on so for me that was like
confirmation reaffirmation that this is
in fact the truth
[Music]
alhamdulillah um for me I'm pretty much
the same I I really didn't broadcast my
Islam to my family right away I just
began to change my behavior uh because
right before accepting Islam I was doing
very very bad things and I was not a
very good person when they saw the
change in the behavior when I became a
better son a better grandson a better
brother a better you know person
individually and they were questioning
me you know what has changed in you and
is this change real then I let them know
that that it was Islam that has changed
me and be a better person and even up to
this day my father is really the and my
sister really the only people left in my
immediate family my father today is is
is very proud that his son is a Muslim
and goes around the world telling people
about the religion of Islam and tries to
do good he's very very proud of that he
has no problems with it whatsoever even
though he himself has not come to Islam
yet may
Allah next question that's not in the
minds of the people people want to know
now our next questioner is asking why do
Muslims say that God didn't have a son
and that Jesus is not God take it away
death and the day of judgment the mercy
of Allah these are the things that
finally made me realize there is no time
to delay anymore I want you to take my
shahada right
there the essence of spirituality is to
become more sincere to Allah contate
that itself it is very very scary but it
brings you back to reality there is a
life which is Everlasting in the
Hereafter you have to make a conscious
decision of which group of people do you
want to be of the people of heaven or
the people of
hell I am not afraid of stand
alone I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone if Li by
I am not afraid to stand
alone I am not afraid to stand alone if
Li I am not afraid to stand
[Music]
alone why do Muslims say that God didn't
have a son and that Jesus is not God
take it away I think each one of us
could uh probably give you some good
stories on that I'll try to keep this
short it's very clear in the Quran
though that Allah said so this isn't an
option for a Muslim if you understand
what Quran means you understand it is
the actual speech of almighty God in the
Arabic
language and in he
said say
he's Allah and he's uniquely
one English doesn't have this kind of
one by the way we say one we mean one in
Arabic you
say but when you say this is meaning a
one that there isn't going to be a two
coming after
it this means Allah is totally
independent of his creation but the
creation needs him all through eternity
now listen carefully lamb now lamb is
kind of like no way Jose
okay for sure he's not the father of
anybody and he not the son of
anybody and he's not like anything that
you could ever imagine nothing in the
creation he's not in the creation he's
not the creation like Hindus believe
or some of the others he is totally
independent of this creation and then
again it
says he is
unique so I think it's pretty clear why
we would say that because Allah said it
he doesn't have a son and he did have if
he did if God has a son and God is a man
and his son is a man that's a
chauvinistic religion right there
where's the ladies in there and babies
don't come from men do
they no they come from ladies so where
you get these ideas
from when we look at the
Bible and
we understand that the words spoken by
Jesus or alleged have been spoken by
Jesus sometimes regarded as a red letter
version where the red letter is printed
in the new test
to be his words you never find the
prophet Jesus speak with upon ever refer
to himself as the Son of God he always
refers to himself as the son of
man as the son of man and the term sons
of God were found throughout the Bible
in many many places so Jesus wasn't the
only one called that but even in the Old
Testament some of the prophets were
called sons of this was a metaphorical
expression it didn't mean that God
physically SED a son through the agency
of of a female alhamdulillah so we refer
to Jesus as he saw himself as a son of
man and we worship the one whom he
worshiped
alhamdulillah for me realistically um
when it comes to this topic there's a
very good show that myself and Eddie did
on the de show the top 10 reasons why
Jesus cannot be God and God cannot be a
man but realistically it's because there
is
no um religious scripture anywhere that
makes this claim from any prophet of God
this is coming from other sources and
very clearly when we look at the
teachings of God throughout the entire
of the Old Testament he never teaches
this Theory God is one unique when we
read the uh what is it called um the the
famous statement that that is in the Old
Testament which is known as the Jewish
um uh well Rec statement they recite
every Sabbath here o Israel the Lord
your God is one Deuteronomy in
Deuteronomy yes and it's and and this is
as you describe the Oneness that is
described in the Hebrew language is very
similar to the Arabic language and it's
very clear that this is the exact same
teaching that Jesus himself quoted when
he when they asked him what was the
greatest commandment what did he say he
said well I tell you the first
commandment is to hear oh Israel the
Lord your God is one the Lord your God
is one and that Oneness that he referred
to is very very clear without going to
verse by verse by verse by verse we just
have to understand this Oneness that you
were speaking about it is very similar
to what he said the word in the in the
Arabic language we have a number for one
right what is the what is the word for
the number one in
Arabic correct yes audience if I take
and I add it to what I get I get I get
two but the word in the Hebrew language
is synonymous to the word in Arabic
language that Jesus himself used in the
Arabic Aramaic language that is in
Arabic he said that here isra the Lord
your God is one in reference to the
exact same word one if you take which
symbolizes a unique Oneness which spoke
about and you take and you add it to
will you
get you can't you can't the very word
itself signifies one without the
possibility of addition or subtraction
it is a one all alone by itself and this
is who God taught that he was throughout
the entirety of the Old Testament and
this is who Jesus taught God was so to
say that Jesus called himself the Son of
God goes in contradiction to the very
teachings he came to profess very simple
without going by verse by verse it just
goes in contradiction to the very
teachings he professed about God and
God's
nature there's one more thing about this
by the way if you want more
clarification there's a website we have
called 911 Bible
911
bible.com and it said Son of who read
the article I think it answers it real
clear moving on to the next question
with our wonderful guest our wonderful
panel here now we're here at a
university broadcasting live and and I
think many can relate to this now okay
basically paraphrasing the question the
questioner is asking you know they can
understand he can or she can understand
the the the simple teachings of Islam
pure monotheism worshiping the one
Creator and not his creation they can
understand the concept of accountability
Paradise Hellfire reward if you do the
good things that God's telling you but
now the individual is saying you know
many people go to college for the
experience now if I accept Islam if I
become a Muslim just like Jesus was a
Muslim Moses Abraham they were all
Muslims they submitted to God that's
what a Muslim is so if I accept Islam
and I become a Muslim do I have to give
up my collection collection of VIP night
nightclub cards you know and the and in
the weekend uh Funtime with the boys and
the partying you know do I have to give
this
up how would you guys answer this sh
Yousef during his lecture he explained
what Islam means yes or no you explained
what Islam means that Islam means uh
that Islam means uh what did you say
surren surrender submission obedience
surren sincerity and peace so you
submitting yourself to the Creator each
and every single day in obedience to him
with sinc sinity so that you can obtain
peace in this life and in the next the
very definition of Islam itself means
that they going to have to be some
things that are going to have to be
weeded out things which are in my life
that are contrary and this goes for
Muslims this is not just you know just
new Muslims this goes for all Muslims
there are going to be things in our life
we're going to have to weed out whatever
we find in our life that is contrary to
this meaning is going to have to be
removed because as he stated to be a
Muslim is an action word it is a verb it
means one who does Islam one who does
submit thems to their creator each and
every single day with surrenderance and
obedience and sincerity in order obtain
Peace So if I'm doing something contrary
to that then I have some problems going
on in my life and those things are going
to have to be removed because if not
you're going to find conflict and as
Jesus peace be upon Him is supposedly
have said in the Bible that one heart
cannot serve two masters one heart
cannot serve two masters for it he will
either fall in love with one and despise
the other or it could end up hating both
of them you never know but it cannot
have love and servitude and obedience
and surrendering in peace to two
different contrary ideologies one of
them is going to have to go one is going
to weed itself out unless you weed it
out yourself and usually what's going to
happen is the negative is going to
overpower just because of the very
structure of human beings it's going to
happen that way so we're going to have
to weed those things out yes but that's
in an attempt to do Islam and be a
Muslim
in Islam almighty God Allah is
recognized as the only one who has the
right to make lawful and
unlawful
and the most most of the things that we
do are those things that Allah has made
lawful us there are more things that are
permissible and lawful than there are
that are not permissible so the things
that we used to do before we came to
Islam we have come come to know that
those are things that are very harmful
to us and will only bring us destruction
so what is it to give up drinking
alcohol or using drugs or chasing women
you see or going out to the parties
that's nothing compared to the reward of
Peace in this life and guidance and the
greatest reward to come into
Paradise I like what you said and both
of you got Target there I just wanted to
just add something confirming what you
said I just came back as you know from
Saudi Arabia one of the shows that we're
producing from there we're not through
with it yet we need to get some more
technicians to help us finish it but
it's called love at the
racetrack how's that sound for a title
huh love at the RAC track and we're
talking about racing
horses now how can you imagine that has
anything to do with Islam one of the
first things You observe when you get
there there's no gambling whatsoever
allowed you will be arrested if you
gamble another thing is there's no
alcohol allowed at all anywhere in the
Kingdom so that's a whole different
picture isn't it but what we really
wanted to focus on well it was also the
no advertising all of the signs that you
saw around there just said allahar
Subhan alhamdulillah praise God things
like
this but when they were putting the
horses into the shoots our friend who
was a convert himself David
Rogers and it was beautiful because he
would
COA the horses into the shoots with
words and just Inspire those horses and
he calls it horse Whispering now this is
an old technique used by people that
work with animals that don't want to
hurt them or touch them they just want
the animal to cooperate we actually
caught on camera some of
these brothers who don't know his
technique trying to push a horse in
there shoving it tugging at it with a
rope behind it trying to drag it in the
shoot it wouldn't go in the meantime
David is sitting on top of his horse
talking to another horse that they were
trying to load and he was skidish but he
went into it later when we got a chance
to get to the stables and talk with him
in front of the horses he said all these
horses used to be afraid and skidish if
you came up they would run to the other
side of the stall he said but you stand
there while we're talking and watch what
happen so what we were doing what we're
doing right now shooting show the horse
would come up and push the back of my
head he just you don't want to butt in
he's sort of hamy you know what I mean
want to be on TV I guess I don't know
but he said the reason this horse is
doing this out of
love the horse does what he does out of
love he wants to please you he wants so
much to please you now I understand that
I have a cat the same way he just roll
over right in front of you you're trying
to walk you roll over right there he
wants you to scatch him
and he'll put his head up against you
and the cat people tell me that means
the cat loves you why do these animals
do what they do and this was the whole
point that David Rogers wanted to make
on the show because they really will do
what they're supposed to do if they
truly love you and Allah said about that
in the
Quran if you really love
a if if you really love Allah follow
Prophet
M because then and only then Allah will
love you and he will forgive your sins
he is the forgiver he is the merciful
brother Ed I know you can very much
relate to me from some of us who have
been in that street life who have tried
to you know go out and live that life of
making just ourselves happy trying to
fill ourselves with this worldly life
and this Pleasures clubbing partying you
know drinking everything that you can
think of Imagine
and and and I know that Eddie is filming
a document much documentary on that
about his life and and one thing that I
would just let all of you young people
out there know that that if this life
entices you let us be the I guess you
can say the the spokesman of the
anti-thesis of that that that's not
going to get you anything you know the
only thing that that we were trying to
do that I know I personally was trying
to do was trying to put a Band-Aid on
the damage that I knew was inside of me
you know with these with the alcohol
with the partying with all that I was
trying to bandage the damage that I knew
was inside of me it was like I had a big
hole that I was trying to fill with
these things but know for sure that
trying to fulfill and this is one of my
first Scholars that I had opportunity to
live with that shik youu knows very well
you know Z used to tell me that for a
man or a woman to try to feel that whole
inside of themselves their desires with
the things of this world you might as
well go to the beach Andy to fill the
ocean with sand because it is an
impossibility to do that you cannot fill
your desires with anything that is
tangible in this life it is like trying
to throw water sand into the ocean can
you f it no you cannot and then he
quoted the the statement of the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him that the only
thing of this world that will fulfill
the desires of the human being is the
dust of the Grave that's the only time
we will be satisfied is when we are put
inside that grave so don't go chasing a
life that is going to bring you nothing
but in a full circle back to
understanding that you need something
bigger and greater in your life to
really give you peace and serenity and
Tranquility don't mess up and go that
road that's going to bring you in a full
circle back to where you're sitting
right here and right now realizing that
you need some help and that help only
comes through the creator of all that
exists and the way of life call is very
simple continuing on here with our
wonderful panel of guests on The Dean
show on guide us TV I Sol
I would go to my room lock the door
postrate and cry saying God you know me
better than myself show me the right way
and I will not look back I will leave
everything
behind Allah is our creator and he
creates everything and he gives
intelligence to
people be upon Muhammad is one of the
last Messengers from God
and we're going to go on to the next
question we got several more questions
but we got so little time so we're going
to try to get through these quickly the
next question are you ready asking the
tough questions here on the dean show
with SH YF Estes gu us TV Christians
feel now okay they feel Christ through
the Holy
Spirit Christians
feel Christ through the Holy Spirit what
internal proof does Islam offer that's
the question talk to me let me let's go
uh with tah here then we'll go to Yousef
and then we'll go to uh Joshua in Islam
we have the concept of the holy spirit
in Arabic it's called
Al Al the spirit of Holiness but from
the Islamic perspective this is
referring to the angel of
Revelation jabriel or Gabriel who
brought the scriptures to the prophets
who receive scripture Jesus receiving
the the gospel Mo Moses receiving the
ibraim receiving the Scrolls of the and
muham and peace be upon all of them who
receive the Quran so we have an
understanding that the spirit of
Holiness is not a personal experience
but it is one that only comes to the
prophets and Messengers whom almighty
God Allah has
chosen uh well I'm just going to the
question that you ask how do we find
internal evidence for the for our belief
system there's a very beautiful verse in
the Quran that that pretty much sums it
up from me where Allah the almighty
Creator says in the Quran that in the
remembrance of him do hearts find rest
and contentment and and and this is the
reality and I can tell you that coming
out of Christianity that even though we
may have had those emotional HIDs you
know when you you go to Evangelical
preaching you get that emotional hide
but that hide is something that needs to
be refurbished and replenished because
it dies very quickly the so-called in
filling with the Holy Spirit and the
Holy Ghost but there's something
different about Islam that can only be
experienced can only be experienced is
that contentment that you find in
remembering the one true creator of all
that exist the way he wants to be
remembered with that pureness and that
Oneness so internally the evidence is
only for is only in the eyes of the
beholder it's not something that I can
cut out in hand to someone else the
external evidences that God gives us is
part of that internal evidence for us to
have peace in our lives and in the
remembrance of God do hearts find that
rest and contentment and and and the
scholars have stated that the real
wealth of this life is the contentment
with whatever God has given you whether
it would be good or would be bad and
that's one thing for sure that I know
without trying to bash on religion that
the Holy Spirit doesn't give you it
might give you that feeling when it's
good when things are good you might have
that enjoyment of the Holy Ghost but
when it's bad do you have that feeling
of contentment with whatever God has
given you that's something that Islam
has purely given me that no matter what
condition I'm put in I have contentment
and rest because I know my heart is
remember not too creative I spent a lot
of
years in business and marketing a lot of
years
and what I remember about people being
filled with the
spirit when you get somebody up on the
stage and he'd be really out there
shouting and telling you how this
exciting experience and how YouTube can
have what I have and I want to share
this what I have with you here's what I
have for you today get the people all
excited and the people all got filled
with that Spirit of what he was talking
about but it wasn't even Christianity it
wasn't even a religion
guy was selling Herbal
Life you know like Amy big
deal but listen to this here's the proof
cuz you ask for
proof if somebody does not know Arabic
language at
all yet when they hear the words of the
Quran in Arabic language and they start
crying what is
that what what is
that because when I first heard the
Quran recited I was trying to convert a
Muslim to be a Christian yet every time
he would recite i' feel like oh what was
that say it again slower oh that's nice
I didn't know these were the exact words
recited to Muhammad by the Holy
Spirit the angel
Gabriel one of the most powerful of all
and I used it when I was doing prison
chapter more is the verse in Surah Bak
2:
255 I recited this one time and right
next to where we were holding our
services some Christians were over there
being filled with their Holy
Ghost okay yeah yeah yeah making all
this noise we couldn't hear we were
trying to talk we couldn't even hear
ourselves the brothers said you know
they do that every time we're trying to
have service I said R said there nothing
we can do I said yeah there is
[Laughter]
[Applause]
[Music]
Earth
when I reached those last
words these guys became totally
silent I never made another Peak while
we had our
services the meaning of those words the
English language there's nothing in
English that will bring it I know I've
tried many times I'll try again tonight
for the benefit of those who don't know
Arabic don't know about Islam Allah says
here
that he's Allah the one beside whom
there is none worthy to
worship the ever
living the self-
subsisting he doesn't get tired he
doesn't
sleep then he asks the
question well first he tells you that he
is the owner of all the universe
everything in there heavens and earth
belongs to him now comes a rhetorical
question who is there he's asking you
who is there that comes between me and
my creation except I have to give him
permission to do it so there's no
intercession in Islam except that Allah
gave him permission to do
such then he tells you that it's Allah
that has all the knowledge of
everything up down and all around and
you don't have any knowledge except he
gave you do
his cursy extends over the
universe and he feels no fatigue and
taking care of all of it and he is
mighty and Majestic above his
throne thank you sh Yousef and we have a
couple more question before this live
filming of the de on gu us TV with SH
Yousef es matah sa shik matah and Joshua
Evans hope everybody's enjoying this
episode and we're going to get into the
next question now the question is asking
Pete King Peter King uh just had some
hearings about the radicalization of
Muslim youth yes what are your thoughts
about this and does Islam promote
violence and
radicalization
Islam
promotes what is called W in the
Quran the the way of the middle path B P
it categorically denounces
extremism in fact the prophet Muhammad
God's peace and blessing be upon it he
said three times Islam the terrorism or
pardon me extreme extremism is destroyed
extremism will be destroyed and repeat
this three times so Islam encourages a
balance and moderate way of life and it
forbids us to to go to extremes I too
far to the left too far to the right now
the hearings of we we witnessed by Peter
King interesting to know that the senate
committee Judiciary Committee held a
another hearing about 2 weeks
later which was the flip side of his
hearing his hearing promoted
islamophobia the other Hearing in the
Senate promoted a more balanced
understanding of the rights that we as
Muslims have in this country so
alhamdulillah there's there's balance
even in
that it's it's almost you know a shame
that we have to defend you know I mean
ourselves on on these types of issues
from these types of people it's almost
really a shame that we even have to give
it recognition uh that is undeserving of
it because when we look at one
person saying that they are going to
become an expert on the radicalization
of Muslims in America when I don't
probably know any Muslim has ever spoken
to him I don't know any Masid that's
ever hosted him and I don't know any he
ever Ste foot in out of the 4,000 plus
that are in the United States of America
um when in reality all three of us
including all four of us on this panel
have probably you know circumvented you
know uh this this this entire system of
masjids in our in our little bit of time
I know she YF has probably been in uh
everyone that has any type of address
you know on it um some of them didn't
even have some of that didn't have
addresses on them you know to to say
that that there's a problem with the
Muslim youth being radicalized in
America that Muslims are not doing
enough to circumvent the problem
themselves then we have to ask the
question why has there not been a
plethora of Muslims extremists doing
crazy things you know as an outcome of
this you know supposed uh um
discrimination that Muslims are turning
a blind eye to terrorism and extremism
and as sh was saying very much yesterday
I'm going to ask him to reiterate this
is he was saying that there's not enough
Muslims saying anything about it that
there's not enough Muslims speaking out
about it and and this what I'm going to
leave to sh YF that this very much in
turn according to the evidence turns out
to be BL Li pretty much 99% of what he
said turns out will be a blank Li so
very clearly when it comes to these type
of things we just kind of say let the
evidence tell the truth he had to say
what he had to say and everybody has
their right to say what they want to say
that's a constitutional right afforded
to us let him say what he has to say but
when it comes to judging the weight of
what he has to say let us let the
evidence do the talking
[Music]
and one of the most important things
about being a Muslim is the
truth even Allah says in the Quran
17:81 the truth the
H will come and it will destroy the
battle verely the truth will destroy the
battle the battle will be destroyed by
this truth battle is
falsehood H and B this is the subject we
started with tonight by the way we were
talking about truth and we and I was
listening to you Joshua talking about
this subject that when the truth is
there the falsehood cannot
exist but when there is no truth then
there's nothing going to exist except
falsehood and we'll go back to what we
said all night long it's our
responsibility brothers and
sisters and I'm saying brothers and
sisters in humanity even if you're not a
Muslim you still have the responsibility
to convey what you've heard here
tonight this is not something you can
ignore this is not something you just
run away from and say well I still want
to believe this or that no the truth is
here it's in front of all of us and it's
our responsibility to say the truth now
I'm going to contradict
you I'm going to contradict
you in a little bit
way because I have to say the
truth and while there are maybe 4,000
plus marins in the United States and
99.9% of all of
those are bringing out some of the best
of the youth that we have some of the
Great youth that we have here working
with us tonight still that's not always
the case there are some
Muslims who have been
misguided and done some really stupid
things and I know that to be a fact
because there's a m a mosque across the
street from my house two houses down and
other words walk out to the middle of
the street walk for 60 seconds and
you're inside the M that's that's it you
know where it is you guys know right and
it was in that exact old
house where five of our own Brothers in
Islam
conspired and Drew up
plans to sneak
off get on an airplane and fly to
Pakistan and jump off the plane and
declare
Jihad and then I went to jail
[Music]
immediately was that stupid well first
of all how many of you know that you
went to Pakistan and declared Jihad who
are you declaring
you it's if they understood anything
what these terrorists are really about
they should be coming the other way
right they went over there and they said
we're looking for a place to do Jad well
the people over there went uhhuh sure
hello what's the number for the FBI in
America
am these boys did that none of us knew
not one of us in that much didn't do
that I found out when I course I'm on
the road all the time I found out when I
came back I've got FBI agent standing on
my
porch and they're asking me what have
you been teaching these guys I said what
guys and they started telling me what's
going on and I'm like oh my God I did
hear something about some boys went to
Pakistan said yeah it's across street
from your house
huh so we want to know what you're
teaching them I said I didn't teach them
nothing I'm gone all the time I'm not
here and then they brought it home to me
look at what the FBI said to
me they said how do you go around the
world but you can't go across the
street I said what do you mean they said
we've seen your stuff we know who you
are and they mentioned you by the way
said they saw the dean show what do you
think I tried to give him your address I
couldn't remember it but if you give it
to me I'll made it one
anyhow they said we know you guys we
know what you're about and you know we
want you to teach this the real
Islam I was shocked they were telling me
they literally said go across the street
and start teaching these guys how do you
let this happen and I said I just I
didn't I wasn't paying attention I
didn't
know and after they left I got thinking
about it if the United States FBI is
coming to me and say preach What You
Preach I'm wondering if I'm preaching
the right thing I don't know may Allah
guide all of us may Allah help all of us
