about it brother I'm not leading you now
you know they say stop leading the
witness is this the truth yes this is
the ultimate truth of Islam it comes
from s Salam peace they people have
heard me say this all the time I just I
can't get enough of it you know people
say hello how you doing what's up but we
say peace peace be with you so if a
person is wishing peace without IM hyp
people maybe just tuned out from CNN Fox
News and they might have caught some
radical fanatic which is maybe half a
percent of this whole 1.5 billion that
are out there of those who have
submitted consciously not to the
creation but to the Creator the one who
created creation that's the one we
worship but now that people got some
funny idea this guy these guys Arab
Fanatics you're an American used to be a
Christian a Catholic then you were born
again now you ended up a Muslim some
people think now this guy's join some
some some fanatical radical you know
cult you know what I mean what do you
got to say about that let's start off
with that well Islam is the nature of
the reality between the Creator and the
creation brother um when we look at the
essence or the beginnings of the concept
of Islam when God created angels he
caused them to be submitters to his
will it says in the Quran and they do as
they're told and so this obedience to
the Creator is the Essence so that uh
that lifestyle is quite natural to
anybody or anything uh the Quran in many
different
places that um
glorifying uh God is all of the heavens
and the universe everything there is is
grateful and in Humble service to the
Creator that gave them their right to
exist so we live in a peaceful State
doing that
Catholics outnumber born again is that
right oh yeah Catholics big group big
group you were part of that big group
growing up your family was Catholic tell
us a little about that well uh my
parents were from the secular um style
of religion so um they were both raised
in uh schools like uh Catholic religious
schools and boarding schools where
priests and nuns were running the show
and they both my parents had experience
es growing up learning all of the
sacraments and
theology um but they did not get that
spiritual um fulfillment they were
looking for in their life and so as a
result um Me growing Up religion was
really some sort of cultural aspect of
our life you know we have the Christmas
and Easter celebrations and then we
every now and then we may go to a mass
which is a church Sunday um that would
be probably once in a blue moon as they
say um but other than that there really
wasn't much instruction or teaching in
our lives growing up about God and to be
honest with you my dad is you know a
very decorated uh football star from the
um Oklahoma Sooners and so growing up
for me to to wear orange the Texas
Longhorns colors would be sacriligious
compared to coming home and saying for
example I don't believe in Catholicism
so it wasn't that strong but I knew of
it because you know the Catholic
tradition was there and it was
sporadically coming up in in in our in
our life so how did you now okay you're
Catholic your parents are Catholic and
usually people just go with the flow
okay this is what my great-grandparents
were this is what their parents were my
ancestors I'm not going to leave
anything else you know people don't give
it much thought they just kind of blend
in you didn't blend in you did BL for
some time but then you became Born Again
born again Christian yeah to be honest
with you brother I I often whenever I go
visit our brothers and sisters in
humanity from other Faith Traditions I
often leave them with after talking
about the beauty of Islam and respecting
what they have to say about their uh
tradition I often leave them with this
point I tell
them nobody in this room will say that
their religion that they follow is Right
simply because they were born into it
that does not make it right that makes
it something from your family's culture
what makes it right is
searching reviewing uh researching into
the history of that text into where did
it come from where did these dogmatic
beliefs come from what is the prophecy
what is the tradition behind it what is
the miraculous nature of the one it was
revealed to when somebody looks into all
of that searches their heart looks into
common sense and historical um reality
of Revelation
those people often Embrace Islam so my
beginnings of that was actually at a
very young age I used to pray to God
knowing that there is this all knowing
all powerful all hearing entity that
created the universe and um I really
wasn't moved as I said from Catholicism
so um touching on your question I was
about 12 years old 11 years old and I
had a friend down the street um Adam and
his family um were were devout Baptists
and so they used to go to church every
Sunday even Wednesday for Bible study
and things like this and they used to
really try to indoctrinate me and help
me to see the light and what's
interesting brother is that in that
relationship um they clearly made it
seem like uh Catholicism is not uh right
it's not true Christianity and that I
need to be saved in the name of Jesus
according to their tradition these were
the this is Baptist Baptist are saying
that the the Catholics they're not on
the right way exactly yeah so I went to
the church did the special sinners
prayer and all of this and the guy put
his hand on my head and pushed me and
told me that Jesus is in my heart and
all did you fall down I didn't fall down
but I I I I wanted to believe it did the
Holy Ghost comeing you that's what I
wanted yeah I was wanted to have all
anybody wants all their sins to be
washed away with a just a free ticket to
Heaven type deal anybody's going to go
for especially a young child or poor
people in Africa that have no food and
they're coming within and say this is
going to save you so you you were
waiting for something mystical to come
over you I was looking for God so
whenever I embraced this um you know
then it turned out that uh um I I didn't
uh um I didn't follow through with it
because of there's a funny story to be
honest tell us tell share that with us
yeah my mom took me to and my mom
struggled with you know many different
um husbands and none of them were really
up to par of a decent man um and so uh
she was working two jobs and struggling
to make 's meet and so we went to the
grocery store one time and of course as
I'm sure you did Growing Up I used to
collect baseball cards and things like
this and so um I asked her can we get
some baseball cards and she said no and
and so I I I ganked some as they say I
snatched them and I put them in my
pocket and um I had been claiming to my
mother for months before that that I'm
saved and and Jesus is in my heart and
there's no desire to sin because now I'm
one with God and J Jesus Jesus is in me
I'm in him and so forth and so on you
just you said you just gang something
that's like slang for stole
yeah and so as we're going out of the
store I get into the car and my mom she
says uh what's that sound you know a mom
you can't put nothing my mom Mom Dukes
so uh I I told her I said nothing so now
I'm lying about stealing and Jesus is in
my heart at now you stole and you're
lying yeah about it yeah so because this
is the the kind called upper deck which
is a kind that came out was real silver
you know like Alum aluminum style or
whatever uh crinkly paper so then she
reached over and grabbed the the
baseball cards out of my she said what
is this so she went in and mocked me in
front of this in front of the manager
she said this is my son who says he's
saved and Jesus is in his heart he's
stealing and lying to his mother about
it and all I I was really she she just
embar took you back to the store and and
yeah that's how that's how she has to do
it you know she's trying to teach me a
lesson yeah so after that brother uh I
started to take an introspective look at
this whole idea of no desire to sin and
one with God and can you be one with God
if you sin and all of this and so that
just talking with different priests I
really I became somewhat of an agnostic
after that point I mean I was just kind
of like okay well I know there's a God
it seems like there's a god um I feel it
I pray to him I know that but I just I
can't connect with this religion they're
saying Jesus Is God but yet he was human
then they're saying he died and there's
all kind of stories that I wasn't able
to
connect let's hold off right there we
got a lot more to ask you we'll be right
back here with Imam John on The Dean
show on the outside everything looks
good you see the $100,000 cars you see a
lot of diamonds you see a lot of females
and they think that this is you know
this is a life this is this is like you
know Paradise right here on
Earth it's not anyone's job to go into
someone's heart and change their heart
your job is to tell people what the
truth is and the reality of it is while
we're sitting here while I'm sitting
here constantly paying for the disease
The Cure was
free us from Hunger I am not afid stand
I am not afraid to stand alone if a li
by side 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 by I am not afraid to stand alone
back here on the dean show with John
Yahya so which one is it is it John or
Yahya should I call you my name is John
John I became nicknamed Yahya the first
day I walked into a mosque M so that's
so wait what what is uh for our for our
brothers in humanity as you said there
are brothers in humanity who never heard
this term y yah is one of the prophets
of God yeah to be honest with you um in
in because in America here we have a
culture rooted in what we call the
people of the book's tradition they've
identified the names of the prophets
here in an English dialect right and the
Quran identified prophets who were not
Arabs um in Arabic words to make the
flow of the Quran recognize those people
so Yahya is John the Baptist he is the
John the Baptist yeah so he's the
prophet going back to our story
interesting huh so it's U it's he's the
cousin of Jesus Jus peace be upon Him
mhm so that's who you're named at John
and just in Arabic Yahya who is John the
Baptist beautiful so continue on now so
you you and this is a growing Trend you
see a lot of people who will leave or
they'll stay as Christians but they
don't believe the whole Trinity they
don't believe the whole concept of
someone dying for their sins or they'll
believe it just kind of using it as a JC
gold card I call it you know just in
case it's real I'll die I got all these
sins a free ticket free ride but at the
end you you know most people some of
them it's a growing Trend going towards
this agnosticism or atheism because they
can't make sense of what their parents
are on so they put all religions in the
same boat they say they're all man-made
these are all just opinions of men so
you were there right yes what happened
next so at this point of time I'm around
13 14 years old and my sister my older
sister that lived with me was starting
to dabble into hippie world and things
like this and some of you know she was
following the Great ful dead I don't
know if you know about that I heard that
it's like a rock back in the day they
used to hippies used to follow him
around all over the country leave a
normal life it was like a permanent
Woodstock mhm so at any rate my sister
got delved into that and of course
naturally our hous hold had some of the
um U things that go on in that
environment in
it so basically as um as I delved into
that
as I delved into that lifestyle then I'm
in eighth grade and I start to meet some
characters at school and start to get
into some trouble got
arrested um in eth grade and so um
basically my dad jumped into the picture
who he hasn't lived with me since I was
7 years old at this point but he wants
to try to help out he said you know what
son I'm going to send you to Bishop
Kelly High School which is a Catholic
school so he thinks that that's going to
set me straight well he's thinking of
Catholic schools when he was kid which
now he's 73 so this is back in the in
the early ' 50s when he was in Catholic
school so I'm sure it was a whole
different ball game yeah um at that
point we're talking about 1991 92 so um
I went to Catholic school well believe
it or not at Catholic school and at the
parties that are involved in Catholic
school I started to meet some characters
that were Shady they were not the good
people and I started to get worse um
than that but at the same time I started
to think about um my relationship with
God and I used to discuss with a um a
priest there his named father Dan and um
I was I was I was almost killed in a car
accident when I was 15 years old as a
freshman and um I really had kind of a
revelation I need to you know look for
God you know just you feel like that
anytime you come close to that point
were was this at the agnostic stage now
yeah I was kind of in the middle you
know I wasn't so I used to have long
conversations with Father Den about God
and things like this and um believe it
or not I was um in our discussion so
father Dan does not know that whenever
I'm not at school or even sometimes when
I'm at school I'm involved in some
pretty
unchristian like activities um but my
spiritual thinking and
theological philos philosophical
introspection and reading of the Bible
and trying trying to understand and
reconcile um was was pretty was pretty
intense at that point so they had me um
I was actually um ordained as a youth um
peer counselor by Bishop Slattery of the
northeastern dasis of the Catholic
Church of of Oklahoma and um so at that
point um I started to think about faith
but shortly after that I went off into
the deep end I got kicked out of Bishop
Kelly my P counselor status was removed
and I pretty much left school for a year
and started really getting into the
wrong crowd so in a
nutshell after a few years of this um a
friend of a close friend of mine Pat
Marshall was planning a robbery and um
he was trying to plan some elaborate
thing but in the end things didn't work
out to the way one he shot a guy for
ended up being $20 mhm and and then
there was no access to whatever he was
trying to get to and so Pat ended up in
jail for for good and um this was a good
this was a friend of yours good friend
of mine yeah and so he went to jail and
then um another friend of mine Mike um
was drinking and driving and he's was
decapitated in a very uh horrible car
accident on the highway and so people
are dying and then in another case I'm
sitting in a house that gets raided you
know everybody's being arrested and all
of this and they're trying to put major
charges on us for what's going on in
that house and in the nutshell I'm I'm
really thinking about what I'm doing at
this point I'm you know 17 years old and
so I'm really thinking what am I doing
what what is this life about am I going
to go the route of these characters end
up dead or in jail for the rest of my
life or am I going to do something with
myself so as I mentioned before I always
took a spiritual philosophical route so
so once I was blessed through uh my
dad's attorney Bobby Jackson um to get
out of that
situation um I started to really rethink
what I was doing in my life and so I
researched and read I took philosophy
comparative religion courses and things
like this psychology in the in the
community college I wasn't looking for a
degree I was looking to understand
what's going on and in that in that
process um I I came to a conclusion of a
Universalist ideology I'm sure you're
Unitarian Universalist M so I was kind
of like okay well God's one he's
obviously touched Mankind and sent some
inspiring messages the the law and the
concept of good and right and wrong is
all defined but people have all argued
about who is God and what's all that so
I'm just going to stay out of all of
that after that point I met um a guy I
was at an Olive Garden restaurant trying
to get away from the people in the
environment trying to train to to get a
job as a waiter and um the guy who is
the head of head waiter there is a
Muslim from Pakistan and so we ended up
having some discussions that were quite
interesting because and this is for our
our Muslim viewers here um the state of
dawa and that's back in
1998 so the state of dawa was so bad
that all I knew about Muslims was the
Black Panther Black Nation of Islam
movement and then the original uh World
Trade Center bombing
uh that happened '92 so that's all I
knew and so I told him I'm not black and
I'm not an you know into some Arab
translation of the Bible that tells
everybody to kill everybody that's all I
that's all I knew from it and that's
post that's pre 911 yes right so that's
where the Muslims were at in presenting
themselves and at that point from what
we know from statistics Muslims were
about five million in this country at
that point
so um yeah so
in in retrospect U I ended up going and
buying a Quran translation from the from
the local Barnes & Noble and I
captivated bro within just half of bakar
I'm reading it and that was that was
while sitting there looking through the
book at the bookstore so I went and
bought it and I picked it up and it
moved me so much and it systematically
cleared up my confusions and
misconceptions about Biblical history
and understanding the concept of
prophethood and God and
salvation all of those things were
clarified and I really felt attached to
this book the Quran yeah the translation
of the Quran moved me heavily So within
seven eight days I had read most of it
you know I did a little skipping around
want to know about Jesus and certain
things but I read a large portion of it
in in Le so I came back to the and
here's the another sad reality in the
state of our dawa I come back to the
Pakistani brother and I told him I think
I want to become Muslim his response was
I've seen you and the way you talk and
the people you hang with you you know
this American lifestyle you can't be
Muslim this is his response to somebody
who comes said I want to become Muslim
so obviously he has no idea about his
responsibility as a bearer of the Divine
Light of the guidance that was finally
preserved and and and revealed through
the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
so that's um that's a sad reality so I I
just pretty much stayed on my own as a
Muslim for for about a year and a half
after that let's hold it right there we
got to go to break and we'll be right
back with more here with Imam Jan Yahya
here in the dean
[Music]
show also say to me why have you become
a Muslim now I I give a very frivolous
answer I say I want to be on the side of
the
[Music]
Angels is a guy he's the number one rap
artist in the world he sold over 60
million records worldwide 60 million he
was a young guy who had basically
everything that some of the you would
think that life is all about he had
everything you can
imagine 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 by I am not afraid of stand alone
I am not afraid to stand alone Li I am
not afraid to stand
[Music]
alone back here on the dean show with
Yahya Imam Yahya John you mentioned
earlier from John the Baptist now how
did you get in all into I mean it's kind
of something that is odd it's outlandish
now for a youth your age because parties
going on yeah boys chasing the women
women trying to look good for the boys
and that's all that's on the mine MTV
Cribs you know and all the other
thingses Jersey all the other thing now
you want to bring up religion you're the
Oddball yeah yeah I mean how did it come
to that point it seemed like okay
Catholic born again and and and these
deaths are happening in front of you and
you're seem like you're spiritual were
your friends that way what motivated you
you were searching for God for the
Creator yeah purpose yeah yeah I mean
that's basically what we call in in the
Arabic language F the innate inherent um
programming or motivation to know that
there is a one pure Divine source of
everything and that he is good and
giving and creative in nature and we
should embody that I mean that's
something built in all of us do not
destroy do not corrupt do not be
spreading the antithesis to that so
that's that's built in and I always had
it
but the cards that I was dealt as they
say um led me the opposite path but all
the time I was looking at it going these
people are jacked up man yeah this is
not right you're intelligent enough to
know that look they're going the wrong
way I mean I used to be in situations
where I would realize somebody's
immorality taking advantage for example
of women and things like this and
robbing people you know and taking
advantage of people and so I used I used
to come down hard on people and they'd
be like but what you know you were doing
this the other day and that the other
day so the hypocrisy I was struggling
with was definitely a dichotomy yeah and
so um as I'm reading the Quran now you
know about 18 years old I'm starting to
struggle with you know alcohol is
forbidden uh pork is forbidden um need
to keep a strong spiritual program in
the Day prayers regularly and so forth
um I'm trying to understand that because
I don't have the detailed example of the
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him so
I'm just trying to make it as I can and
philosophizing with people that I'm
around and so in the end basically um um
I was blessed to walk into a sandwich
shop with my pants sagging my hat
twisted up and you know and the the guy
that I thought he was Greek you know and
so he says you know what do you want
I'll take a gy roll and I went back and
he got on the phone oh I know I saw
Malcolm X movie this is you know it's in
the Quran it says peace be upon that's
how we started the show peace be with
you so then I went over to him I said
you're Muslim he said yeah I I'm Muslim
he looked at me up and down I was like
whoa you're a Muslim and so I said yes
yes yes and so he show uh um gave me the
directions to um the local mosque and so
I went there and uh right when I walked
in the door it was very peaceful calm
clear of any
you know uh pictures and statues and
seemingly fake added uh decoration it
was just simply a house of worship so I
went in there and I was trying to I
don't know how to pray I'm just you know
and then the MU brother comes to me he's
like oh are you Muslim I said yeah he
said what's your name I said John he
said no no no it's not right I said why
he said because John is a non-muslim
name I said oh I fig this guy knows his
stuff he's he's the guy here he's older
man you know so I said I said okay I
said but you know but John was a name of
a prophet that's in the Quran he was
like no no no the Quran does not have
John in it and I said yeah John the
Baptist he's the cousin of Jesus he said
no that's y you're y that was how it was
that's how you got your name yeah yeah
later on I found out through studying
Islamic uh legal Theory and and and
rulings that um that's a cultural thing
he's trying to press that in Islam
there's nothing that tells anybody you
need to change your name unless your
name is contradicting is like if
somebody's name was Christian which is
common obviously you would not continue
as a Muslim called Christian or like a
pagan God or something or something
that's how they had in the time of the
Prophet sallallahu alhi wasallam they
used to uh some people would come with
these names A Slave of the Pagan God or
even found after going back to the
original point of Peace a man came to
the prophet peace be upon him one time
and said how are you doing the prophet
yeah I'm doing fine alayum and then he
says what's your name he said
my name is war and so the prophet said
no that's not that's not a good name you
should be Abdullah the servant of God so
it was the prophet in the authentic
narration that we have who disdained
being called War although that was a
common name that they had so there's
instances like this when somebody had a
bad name so anyways I became a Muslim
and I started being attached to that
mosque and over a period of about 6
months I was able to pretty much remove
my myself going back to what you said
from the environment see the thing is of
course a lot of the youth are out there
a lot of the people that are coming up
in the world from all different faiths
they're stuck in a world that says that
material
gratification desires interests of ego
and self and enjoyment are what's most
important that's that that but that's
how an animal thinks and if you're going
to buy the story that we're all monkeys
then I guess that's why you're thinking
like that but we're obviously Spiritual
Beings I mean
we know to wear clothing we know to use
the bathroom away from other people
animals don't know that they they're
obviously not on an intellectual we know
morals even an atheist will tell you you
should give money to the poor right but
why if you're atheist there's benefit
and harm that is a harm to you just
waste your money on that poor guy
survival of the fittest bro if they want
to be real to what they claim but it's
built in that's that F we're Spiritual
Beings so I embrace that and I was able
to have a very good environment at the
Islamic Society of Salam that mosque was
a very strong um environment and and
building um a good Muslim identity so
environment is key if you we say it in
English if you lay down a dog to catch
fleas so um fleas are a problem that
dogs are itching and catching diseases
from and stuff like that so if you hang
out with them those problems are going
to come to you so what you choose to put
yourself into a will hit you for me I
found very quickly in my young life that
bad things can get real bad real quick
and you didn't even expect it I mean
there's been situations where some girl
makes trade days in school and doing
this fine and all of that and she's
hanging around a party before she know
she got date raped she didn't even she
just thought you know she's going she's
on her way to get a scholarship at
College she's a good kid with Rich
parents you don't know there's there's
guys that got into situations found
themselves arrested with DUIs and you
never know so it's the bad things can
happen to you and and the reason why God
has revealed the message is to preserve
you to save you to give you safety e
comes from am which is to secure or
bring safety so faith in Islam is a
safety net a comprehensive lifestyle
that will remove you from the um
Corruptions and devices of society and
help you to build an environment that's
beneficial to yourself and others on a
spiritual platform we're almost out of
time we only have a few couple minutes
left tell us in wrapping up now you
obviously you're a thinking man an
intellectual someone who was brought up
you're an American you brought up in the
culture you went from the party scene to
you know the born again now you came to
Islam for those of our brothers in
humanity they were like you know what he
didn't have the spirit and he didn't
understand Jesus and his whole message
what do you believe now or what do you
know that really is the message of Jesus
and how do you address this question
just in short I have a couple more more
points to throw at you yeah in a
nutshell if we look at number one if you
want to just take my example I really
believed and wanted take it or leave it
whenever I was young when they when that
preacher was talking about being saved
and the emotional talk and I was all
pumped up and I had just seen Jesus of
Nazareth you know a little bit before
and the Miracles and the light I was all
so I went down there say confessing and
saying the sinner's prayer all of that
but in the end my question is what is
the significance of needing someone to
die for your sins if you go to Judaism
which is where Christianity gets its
roots their understanding of Salvation
is follow the law of God to the best of
your ability if you slip up make your
repentance and and sacrifice for God's
sake and and try not to fall again and
ask God's forgiveness and change your
lifestyle and God will forgive you and
so forth Muslims that's what we that's
exactly what we believe so in the middle
some got this thing that oh we need some
guy to die for our sins but then if you
ask a devout Christian do you is it is
it incumbent upon a real true Christian
to avoid all sins to pray regularly and
fast and all that they'll say yes so
okay then what's the purpose of having
someone die for your sins if you still
have to do all of that and so
historically the Jews the tradition that
they're coming from they always they
never understood that the messiah's
purpose will be to come to die for our
sins that was an idea that was developed
sometime after Jesus and so that is
clearly a Divergence from the tradition
where we get the Messianic prophecy no
Jew in the history ever understood that
the Messiah is supposed to be God
incarnate nor is he supposed to die for
our sins so if we want to claim
tradition and all of that Islam
understands the Messiah as the Jews did
and it was Jesus peace be upon him the
holy prophet of God that God blessed and
put a special touch on his soul um with
a word from him putting him in into Mary
without any male human influence so he
is the creator of Jesus um Christ peace
be upon him so uh and and and last
question now for those who are out there
stuck in a world of Confusion And they
also they don't believe in God being a
human being or coming down dying for the
sins they believe there is a crater but
they're stuck where you were that you
know what all religions are the same
they're man-made you picked up the Quran
you were moved by it what advice do you
get people how do you motivate them to
pick up this book you read everything
else every fashion magazine every car
Rider magazine how do you get people to
reflect more about there is a purpose
there is a system and God Almighty is
the one who's best to give us that
system and get them motivated pick up
the verb and word of God the Quran talk
to them this the last minute we got see
the thing is is that it goes back to
tradition brother in history God has
been revealing his message in the
Quran there were prophets
there's so many verses of the Quran that
indicate that all of mankind has
received prophets throughout history but
there was a special Covenant and it was
given to Abraham a very special
forefather of a very special tradition
one part of his Covenant was to test and
bless and CH choose or give preference
to a special Nation called the children
of Israel and so they were given all
these prophets and all this Revelation
and all of this through the son of
Abraham called Isaac and so they had all
of this and their whole the the cation
the end of that was to have a messiah
now in the Bible that we have today it
says that there is another Covenant
through ishma but ish's Covenant was not
a matter of all these different prophets
it was a matter of finalizing
prophethood and that happened in the
prophet Muhammad that's not my claim
that's something you can verify through
studying and researching looking into
biblical history looking into your heart
looking into the life of the Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him and and
judging it objectively through the
knowledge not through the lens of people
who hate Muslims and are trying to uh
vilify and demonize Muslims we're really
out of time just last thing I just had
to throw it people they've just been
brainwashed all this Islam phobia
boogeyman's coming to get you Sharia and
terrorism you're going to join this cult
they want to kill us take over our way
of life what do you got to say they
think now that you know if you join
Islam submission to the will of God you
become a terrorist what do you got to
say Islam is a system of mercy and
compassion and it is for the best
benefit of all of the people that's
around it Muslim and non-muslim in a
nutshell there is no religion on Earth
that has a system built in its law of
tolerating other religions as citizens
of the theocracy and so Muslims till now
have 44 million Christian Arabs living
among them in the Middle East those
people have been there since the time
the Muslims took Pol iCal control over
that land Islamic law gave them their
right to worship to build their temples
to believe and to even follow their
beliefs if if they believe you can drink
as long as you don't drink with Muslims
and cause corruption to Muslims you can
drink Islam has tolerance and mercy and
compassion if you read the history of
Spain before the Spanish Inquisition
when the ugly beast showed his face of
Terror and Mayhem through the religion
as it was done previous and throughout
history by many religion and people who
claim religion you saw Spain was an
example Cordoba Christians Muslim Jews
coming together to use their Collective
intellectualism and spiritualism to
benefit Society at large that's what
this country was built on that is
something that we can all um uh benefit
from I really enjoyed talking with you
