be destroyed so let's just sit around
and drink sugared drinks in the palaces
of Istanbul or the palaces of Cairo or
wherever they were and then the
Europeans meanwhile are busy whittling
away at developing more sophisticated
crossbows more sophisticated cruel and
barbaric ways of killing Muslims and
before you know what they were there
right with their cruel and barbaric ways
of killing Muslims and the Muslims were
kind of like what happened right like
waking up from a dream and so the the
whole educational system begins to be
dismantled and this is all documented
you can actually go and read
eat how they did this they study that
they sent in people studied the whole
thing recognized here's key issues these
are the things they're divisive about
they they reintroduced areas of divisive
pneus amongst the muslims particularly
the al-qaeda which is a big area that
the muslims have always had some pepitas
like the belief system but pretty much
things were smoothed out so let's renew
this argument right so now you have
Muslims all over the Muslim world making
tech feel right calling other Muslims
there at Peter's not straight and this
isn't right and that's not right and and
that goes on all over the Muslim world
now right so as these Institute's are
destroyed the last one that was actually
intact was the you Sophia which in 1938
is basically finished off by the French
and so there you severed now completely
the Muslims from a historical link to
their traditional understanding of Islam
and what emerges out of this is a new
I'm going to get to if you don't think
this has anything to add our it does but
I'm going the long way around right so
just be patient we've got how much time
left how long have I been talking 20
minutes ok is this boring uh ok all
right I just want to make sure cuz I'm
like I said about 37,000 feet I keep
wanting to say coffee tea
so where were we right the you Sofia so
what happens is they dismantled all
these and what's left is these a few
kind of places left and in the middle of
Swat Valley in Pakistan or India or the
deserts of Mauritania or Molly and the
only people now that go to religious
schools are the people that can't get
into any other school right so you've
got like 4th and 5th 6 rate intellects
studying Islamic law that was written by
first-rate int'l X right now that's a
big problem because they can't
understand them so now they've had to
rewrite all the old books in this new
what they call a wall day right
clear fit like clear jurisprudence
because that other stuff was so
difficult and ambiguous what it means is
jurisprudence for mentally incapacitated
people right so we wonder why we're not
producing any first-rate thinkers in
islamic thought right because nobody's
studying it they're all in engineering
school discovering the latest cruel and
barbaric way to blow up people and
they're working for rockwell
international doing it or wherever i
don't know i mean isn't that what
muslims are all the brilliant Muslims
are digest met this guy is like a PhD
and nuclear physicist physicist from
algeria and he's working on a new laser
device to zap people right which is
probably nicer than a crossbow through
the heart but nonetheless it's kind of
got the same mentality there right try
your enemy that that'll be the motto of
the corporation that sells it right you
don't have to drop smart bombs just make
them disappear with our new laser device
that can actually be automated from your
command control in in washington DC with
the satellite over dubai
so you don't even have to go over there
right no more costs of shipping all the
troops over and all this logistics just
push a button and Baghdad disappears I
mean that's where they're heading isn't
it it seems like that if you look at if
you want to get into arms that's a real
interesting right these great western
people that love peace and the United
Nations is founded on breaking down
weapons swords into plowshares right so
we can grow wheat for everybody and
these same people right are sitting on
the boards of corporations that are
spreading vast amounts of highly
destructive technology all over the
third world over fifty percent of arms
sales goes to the third world and
forty-nine percent of that goes to the
Middle East itself but those same people
are there saying we will not let
anything interfere with the peace
process all right except our profits
right because that we can't interfere
with that right because that's the
bottom line which is what these people
are all about the bottom line so there
you have it right that's the state of
the Muslim world now and now America's
worked out even a better way right of
dealing with the whole thing America is
so sophisticated right there like eons
ahead of everybody else and how to
control and manipulate people so the
Americans say let's not dismantle
anything let's let's let them do
whatever they want but let's broadcast
our television programs there so you
know I'll just sit and and vegetate and
watch I Love Lucy reruns in Cairo in
Arabic right and I'll hit the Lucy right
bed mekia Lucy I mean that's what
they're doing in Cairo they actually
it's a big crisis because the quranic
mattress is now the children can't
laporan because they're memorizing I run
I Love Lucy reruns right I mean
seriously this is actually happening
there how people can't memorize anymore
because they sit and watch flickering
cathode rays that zapped your brain
right so before you know it there's
there's no longer any neurological
pathways so people can't think anymore
and that's why they continue watching it
because it gets more and more
thoughtless each year because they
realize now in Hollywood why produce
really expensive stuff when people are
so stupid now we can just put anything
on there so now they have all these
programs where they just run around
behind people in 911 they don't even
have to pay for actors or anything they
just run around actual real people quote
unquote and film them and then people
sit and watch these things right they
watched them so anyway what's this have
to do add our
what it has to do is that what we're up
against very serious competition when we
call people to Islam we're up against I
Love Lucy reruns and 911 right which is
a real concern for people that have to
do dowa but nobody's doing it so why
even worry about it right well what it
has to do with dow is the fact that
there's an Arab proverb that has a lot
of truth in it and it says hockley do
Shaytan they all--they somebody that
doesn't have something can't give it
right now Islam is obviously something
and according to the Muslim belief it's
the most precious thing but if you don't
have it you can't give it now if we look
at Islam right Islam has basic two
fundamental aspects to it the first then
we could almost look at it like in Mecca
and Medina and it's beautiful the
dichotomy between the two that we've
been given Mecca and Medina and they're
very different Mecca is mountainous it's
rugged it's harsh all the people are
harsh not all of them but most of them
and medina is all flat and soft and easy
it's actually mecca's called wow and
Medina's called sad one means hard
another means easy soft and the people
in medina are all easy and soft right in
Mecca it's like this guy was trying to
do I was just there and this guy was
wanted to do fall off right and he was
trying to get through people and these
people from Mecca didn't want him to get
through and so him to go around and he
said the guy said just do throw off from
outside right from way out there don't
don't go up there and the guy this isn't
a what I you know you're like what a
sweet man you are a great sense of humor
so the point of that little story is
that there's this dichotomy and and
really the way we look at it is there's
a personal salvation right which we can
look at as the Meccan period and then
there's a social salvation that we can
look at is the medinian period and Islam
dress addresses both issues and
oddly enough the personal salvation is
more difficult than the social salvation
that's why if you look at Mecca it's all
persecution and struggle and Medina is
all victory right it's all it's really
it became easy once they got to Medina I
mean they had jihad and they had all
this struggle was all still there but it
was all sudden it was different all
sudden they had what's called a is in
the Arabic language and the Quranic
language dignity and you know Allah
raised them up and the secret of their
being raised up is that they were so low
and humble right that's the secret of it
so you can look Islam has these two
aspects it has the Meccan which is the
personal salvation which has two aspects
to it that's all very simple the first
aspect is what we believe and it can be
summed up in when the man asked the
Prophet for advice he said old i'ma to
be laughing mr. him say I believe in in
Allah and then be upright that's it
that's all there is to it that is what
is called personal Islam and that is
what is ingrained in these people during
the Meccan period is believed in Allah
and then act accordingly right and what
happens is if you do that you will find
that people suddenly become hostile
right they become hostile why because
all of a sudden your actions are
actually threatening the status quo
because if you start acting up right and
everybody else is something else right
the way the jinn put it is so beautiful
mineral Saudi hoon women are doing it
attic but we have righteous people and
then we have all these other people so
if you act up right you will find that
people start getting a little uneasy you
see if the woman puts on the hey job and
actually instead of displaying her
sexuality actually covers it and
conceals it all of a sudden
people get a little and they never got
worried about nuns right all these nuns
right wearing this is a jab right the
nuns wear a hijab in fact they probably
got it from the Muslims but nobody ever
got upset this is against women's rights
right well of course they'll say because
the nuns chose that right that's what
they'll say well didn't didn't the
Muslim women she said no no you see
they've been brainwashed they didn't
really they only think they chose that
but in reality they didn't choose that
you see it's just a socialization well
what about the nuns isn't that kind of a
socialization no no that's something
different why well because that's
Christianity an end of argument right oh
okay I'm silly of me to even question so
there you have it right the if you act
up right you get people upset which is
so odd right because what they say is
they want people to act up right but
what they say and what they do like mr.
Emerson said your actions shout louder
than your words and the truth of the
matter is we're living in probably the
most barbaric society that's ever
existed Western civilization the I mean
really what what's happened okay is that
well let's look at Queen Elizabeth right
that great bastion of Christianity Queen
Elizabeth had these characters around
her that were called Corsairs right what
the air was called a la cena and really
what the Corsairs were they were pirates
and and what they did they went around
attacking ships and stealing all their
gold and bringing it back and giving a
good portion of it to the crown and so
it was kind of like a mafia setup but
the Queen was like the godmother or
whatever
color and these guys were all these real
slimy henchmen and but it will all
looked really good because she was the
defender of the faith right Christianity
and they were these nights which were
noble titles but nonetheless what they
went around doing was pirating people
and this develops right into
colonization it started out just as
these characters running around pirating
the Spanish and saying well that we
really do it because we're at war but
what they were really doing is just
pirating so they go back to England and
the English army would actually protect
these pirates and ultimately the Muslims
were kind of this problem because the
Muslims were actually and it's
interesting because this is what the the
criminal always will say that the
Society's unjust that's the nature of
the criminal he has to say that in the
same way that racism is justified
because really what it's about
exploitation the same thing criminals
will say it's the society that did this
to me right that's what they'll do so
what these pirates did is they called
the Muslim army right which was the
Ottoman army pirates and they were
actually these noble people because the
Ottoman aren't Navy actually patrolled
the Mediterranean and they had tributes
just like now you have tributes right
like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait knowledge
they just paid a big giant one for this
army to go out there and defend their
little kingdoms whatever you want to
call them shakedowns or something but
it's still it's the same basic principle
so what happens is is that this army
said you know hey you can't pirate
around here because we don't believe in
this stuff right so that suddenly they
said we got to find another way to get
around to Asia because these Muslims are
real pain right so they start sending
out these
and finally the rest is history right
they discover this whole thing so what's
happened now is it's become so
sophisticated because these pirates now
we're three-piece suits they don't have
patches on their eyes anymore and but
they still have skull and bones right
George Bush right remember the club he
was a he still a member in good standing
right you have to dig up somebody's
bones as your initiation rite right
there somebody said he his was Geronimo
that that's what he had to do go dig up
Geronimo's bones so he's a member of the
Skull and Bones club which is a very
easy secret Club so is Buckley right
everybody know that idiot that poses an
intellectual he has a television program
well you know he's got this kind of what
do they call it firing line or something
so they're all members of the Skull and
Bones club right because that's their
old flag it's the same group so what
they've done is they've solidified all
their power right and now they work at
the level of Nations and actually
they've gone beyond that right now they
called the United Nations which is
really just a pirate organization
because they realize that crime doesn't
pay but organized crime does right so if
we get organized it'll all work out and
that's what they did and so here you
have it now the muslims are in this big
spiders web right it's been kind of put
out all across the world it's
interesting all their signs and symbols
or spider webs have you ever noticed
that the United Nations is a spider's
web over the earth and the CBS it's a
spider's web on an i right it's all
spiders webs I mean I just started real
I read a book on spiders
it's not funny I I read it because I
wanted a law says that they're like
spiders right and that's what Allah says
committee Anka booth it's chocolate beta
they're like a spider that takes a house
that's what Allah says about these
people so I wanted to understand that
metaphor so I started reading about
spiders and it's amazing that they're
just like spiders it's it's a beautiful
metaphor because spiders one of the
things spiders do is that they actually
don't eat their victims they have this
poison they inject in their fangs a
poison that's that liquid that liquefies
the interns above their victims and then
they suck all their vital fluids out of
them so all there's left is a shell in
this spider's web right which is what we
call Western civilization and now the
Muslim world they're just all shells in
this spider's web right and the spider
keeps getting bigger and bigger and and
every time a victim comes into the web
they have to they have the most
sophisticated telecommunication system
the spiders right they don't need
satellites but it's very similar they
always have a string attached to the web
so anything that touches the web even if
they're sleeping like spiders sleep even
if they're sleeping the web shakes and
they wake up and they run to the web and
if it's a big victim and they realize
they might get out of the web they have
all these milking glands and they squirt
all this extra silk onto their victims
so they totally cover them up in this
stuff but if it's just a little one
right then they just sit kick back in
the White House and just watch it
just watch it kind of died right so I
mean seriously like Iraq was kind of a
big victim right so they went down there
right and then like shut out all this
stuff and and got them completely
wrapped it whereas bosnia's kind of this
lit I'm it's not funny it's not a joke
but it's a metaphor business is kind of
little victim stuck in the web that they
can just sit back and watch it suffocate
right from the webs of intrigue that
they've created and it's interesting
that this Jewish writer wrote the what
he called about all the how they armed
Iraq it's called the spider's web right
it's an interesting book to read the
spider's web so that's what they do so
where where what's this have to do a
Dawa I know you're all asking that
question it has a lot to do it down
because what we're dealing with now in
the Muslim society is a society in
turmoil and in really decay is I mean
decay kind of indicates that there's
still something alive there right I mean
if something's in a decaying state it's
not completely wiped out but it's almost
too easy a word to use for my the way I
look at the Muslim world it's like I
can't remember his name but he wrote a
book called coma where they kept these
people alive just in a coma so that they
could use their organs right and that's
what the the Western powers due to the
Muslim world they keep them just in a
comatose state so they can get their oil
and get their cotton and get all this
right is organ donors because they have
a dying society up here in the West
that's based on consumption and that's
the only thing see the meaning of these
people's lives is to consume if you take
that away from them all sudden they're
in a complete void and voids are scary
eighty percent of Americans that attempt
meditation have acute anxiety attacks
because they close their eyes and all
sudden they say oh my god I'm inside
myself give me something to look at some
stimulation turn on quick turn on the
television turn on the music right let
me look at a billboard they get very
uneasy right because all sudden they
might have to think about something like
why am I here why was I created where am
I going when I die right those are kind
of scary questions for somebody who's
never given them an ounce of thought
right and they've kind of lived their
lives based on the fact that those
questions don't exist I mean it's very
frightening you see them on their death
beds right I used to work in a critical
care unit and watch them die I don't
want to die I don't want to die I saw
that many times why because that's where
they've lived their lives you see
they're frightened they're scared you
know what Islam is about is about taking
away fear see if you're a Muslim what
are you afraid of right because of for
the first thing that you accept as a
Muslim the very first thing there's no
god but Allah which means there's
nothing that i should have any fear of
except God and therefore everything else
becomes secondary death is a secondary
see if you believe in God if you believe
in the fact that you were created for a
purpose and that you're going somewhere
and it all has meaning then all sudden
everything becomes secondary to that
primary fact which it is a fact is he I
mean the Prophet said in the agenda to
hop will not help what P yamaha it's all
hot it's all true the fire is true the
gender the garden is true the day of
rising and judgment is true the Me's an
the balance is true going into these
things so really getting back to this
what we're calling
people too first of all we have to call
ourselves that's the first thing right
we have to call ourselves every day and
you have to be giving dalla to yourself
constantly every day of your life it
doesn't stop you become Muslim that's
people I've seen people they become
Muslim and I tell some people kind of
get upset when i explained islam to them
but people that have become muslim that
I've given Shahada to and people around
and say why'd you tell them all that
stuff is so heavy right because it's
better they stay out of the house right
then come in and be a foul guessed right
and if you don't want to observe the
manners of the house don't come into the
house because the house has manners and
the house has a low Earth he's called
drop will bait and if you come into
doddle Islam into the abode of Islam you
better observe the manners of the house
and the manners of the house came from
the Lord of the house and if you don't
want to observe them get out of the
house because you're just fouling up the
house and that's what's happened all
over the Muslim world you have these
people that are claiming they're in the
house right but they don't use the
toilet they urinate wherever they want
to write they leave the food all over
the place just to rot so give the house
of stench and then people that see the
house think you know it's like somebody
that looks at a mansion that's totally
dilapidated right and they think I
wouldn't want to live there right as a
beautiful it looks like it was a
beautiful thing at one time I mean
that's the way people look at Islam now
if you hear Orientals talk about Islam
the golden years of Islam right that's
what they talk about the golden years of
Islam because now they look at it's just
like a mansion in total dilapidation
right so what we want to do is is find
out where the Carpenters are to rebuild
this thing
because it's there all the blue priming
what we have now that house is gone
right what they call the golden years
it's over typical aluminum pallet now
have my cus of it what I come back us up
some those people they're gone they have
what they earn and you have what you
earn you see they're gone we can't live
off them anymore it's no longer viable
but what we have is we have a vision of
what it was once at one time but we also
have an intact blueprint and what we
need is a critical mass of people that
will take on this Dean personally take
on it as individuals and then call other
people to it you see we have to rectify
our homes we have to rectify our
character we have to become people of
Easter AMA of uprightness and if we're
not we can't call anybody to anything
because we don't have anything to call
people to it's an empty call you see and
Dow is not an empty call I mean Dowell
is a call to the house to the abode of
Islam is calling people enter into the
abode and right now my sustenance and
I'm sure many of your sustenance is a
personal sustenance because we're not
living social Islam you see I would love
to be living social Islam I would love
to be living in a society where there
weren't thieves because people don't
need to steal where there weren't drugs
because people don't have need to get
out of their state and into a state that
puts them into a sense of oblivion where
they don't have to think about the
problems of their lives you see where
women aren't beaten in their homes
because they have recourse to ways of
solving their marital disputes in their
troubles that are humane and that are
based on justice and wisdom you see I
mean that's that's the society that I
yearn for is a society where people can
live Islam where knowledge is the
highest and most primary function of the
human being to acquire knowledge and to
worship
based on that knowledge acquired elbow
hari has a chapter in his great opus
that's called bad in public Olli
willamette the chapter of knowledge
before speaking and action see because
Islam is based on knowledge the first
thing that comes down in the Quran is
okra bismi rabbika alladhi holla read
that's the first thing that comes down
read what in the name of your Lord learn
knowledge in the name of your Lord learn
knowledge because Allah has don't learn
knowledge to make more money right no
learn knowledge to get a degree don't
learn knowledge so that you can go work
for a corporation that's developing new
and improved ways of killing people
learn knowledge because you are
commanded to learn knowledge and then
apply that knowledge and then take that
knowledge out to other people and that's
what Islam is about it's a very
fundamental call back to the way of
ibrahim ali sent him to the way of the
honey and if I him was a simple man
living in the midst of a desert in a
tent but he had the deepest spiritual
experience of anyone in his time you see
because he was a hanif he was a man who
Hanif is an upright man it's a man that
believes in the Dean of Citra the
inherent religion of man and woman which
is Islam and acts up right and that is
if I him and our call is to the way of
Ibrahim as it was finalized in the way
of muhammad sallallahu syndrome and
that's the call of the muslims and it's
the call of truth and the people that
hear it and respond to it will be the
people whose hearts have that mule have
that hannah phia you see then they're
out there they have to be I don't
believe that they're not and we have to
go find them that's your job in Toronto
they're out there they must be I don't
believe they're not because this is the
feta it's the inherent nature people
will never be happy until they submit to
Allah and people won't be happy until
they know why they were created and the
Quran tells us to worship Him to adore
him to love Allah Subhanahu time I mean
that's what it's about so we have that
individual Islam and that's all we have
now bottle Islam the abode of Islam has
been reduced to your own body you are
Donald Islam now there is no longer this
integral thing that we can call bottle
Islam and this other thing that we can
call that on how this is a time when as
the Arab say I follow that have been
avid everything's mixed up nothing's
clear anymore I mean that's the truth of
the matter and the only thing that is
clear right is the vision of this
teaching because it's still there and
it's still intact and it's there for the
one that takes it up but it has certain
conditions and just just say a few
things about the conditions the first
condition is sincerity why my middle
alethia but a lot more the scene they
were only commanded to worship Allah
with sincerity with a cloth LaHood Dean
the Dean is for Allah it's not for you
it's not a personal way of being better
than other people it's not a way of
banging people over the head with hadees
or I as a verses of Quran you see which
some people do they take the Dean
becomes this tool whereby I can become a
petty tyrant in the same way that Saddam
Hussein is a big tyrant alright so I can
beat people over the head with hadith
the the teaching is a teaching of top
here it's not a teaching of ten field
it's a teaching of calling people in the
best way of calling people back to their
own selves you see of the real true
nature which is submission that is the
true nature of man is to be in
submission to Allah Subhan Allah to
honor and that is what the call is it's
a call to that Beshara that good news
that if you submit to Allah if from a
believer or a male or a female huh
beside a hand wahoowa min deccan and I
want our whole movement for whoever does
a righteous action after their belief
right from male or female and they have
a man then Allah houses Lana here norm
hyatt on by you we will bring to life
for them a beautiful and pure life you
see so even in the midst of all this
turmoil those people who have that
individual sense of Islam will have a
higher Eva a pure and beautiful life and
now we'll be able to sustain them
through this time because we're in times
of sub up we're in the time that the
prophet elias adam said holding on to
islam is like holding on to a call of
fire that's what it's like you see and
islam is about subah in alumnus Aberdeen
and Dawa is about learning subah about
learning patience about learning how to
interact with people about learning how
to subjugate the nuts about learning how
to become humble and it's difficult and
it's a journey and we're all on it you
see none of us have arrived we arrived
when we die and the whole thing is a
process of becoming better and better
you see I wish Islam as a coat that you
could buy in a store and just put it on
and all sudden you're a Muslim but it's
not it's not acquired with ease it's
painfully acquired and so I'm just been
given the warning from the moderator
that's nice usually it says 10 minus Z
they say 22 seconds left right I won't
mention any places or I've had that
happen to me so I well I'm going to just
cut it here because I'm my thoughts have
been a little disconnected right we're
like I said it's an age of
disintegration so my talk was a little
disinterest has to do i'm using excuses
right there they said I other alignment
of them like this excuse is worse than
the what you did wrong so I'm dsi stop
it here and if people have questions I'm
going to remain standing because I'll
probably fall asleep if I sit down I'll
protocol the head of a stuff will not
leave it up anything
okay we're getting so we're going to
take a break and then
no we're going to have a 15 min break
there's refreshments outside it should
be some downstairs and upstairs were
level take time to look at the different
displays we have and we have some books
video games as well some of them is this
the video tapes are also available in
the factor and child 15 mins will call
you back
Melara number him saw that was sarah a
sheriff an mb a-- even more sitting call
to islam and ridicule Christianity and
Christians while addressing an audience
in the bastion of Christian learning in
Canada the University of Toronto Dow is
not a forum to ridicule anyone the amino
law
my background I was actually raised a
Greek Orthodox and Greek Orthodox are
cruel and mean people they're the ones
that are bombing Sarajevo then so I've
still got some that cruel and mean
streak in me I I went to Catholic Jesuit
schools as well so part of my distaste
for modern Christianity is my experience
with it but I'm not certainly not
speaking as a somebody it was born
Muslim right and then like a medida
right everybody's favorite critique of
Christianity but I accept that as a
criticism the because it is a question
but it's really a criticism and I accept
