million people in the past it was easier
to control a million people than to kill
a million people if having to kill a
million people is the only way we should
end the human project right now drink
the kool-aid get it over with
this is totally completely unacceptable
stop thinking about controlling people
that's the problem
learn how to work with one another
Alwyn we're a little bit early we'll
talk while come together that verse was
about all of us coming to there that
verse was revealed about the people of
Mecca who weren't Muslims work together
in what's good to Allen or a liability
with Dhokla work together this is what
we have to do as a people we have
incredible challenges incredible
challenges but this country is a
creative country it has risen to the
occasion many times before and I'm
hoping because hope springs eternal hope
is a bird with feathers that perches in
the soul I'm a hopeful person I've got
five kids to make me extremely hopeful
this is my country I love this country
it's my home
I love the hills around the Bay Area
that I grew up with I love muir woods
I love the redwood forests I love the
Sierra Madre that I went to as a child
and camped with my family these are the
places that I grew up with when the
prophet sallallaahu them left Mecca and
he met when he got to Medina there was a
man who came sailin high fari
and he said to the Prophet SAW I said
I'm said kafir I hit Tameka - how did
you find Mecca and he said oh the valley
has been filled with flowers through
Maha and he said and all of the cedar
trees were blossoming and I left the the
water was flowing and he began to
describe the physical he didn't say the
Kaaba or masha'Allah dr. Kutner he
described the physicality of the place
that the Prophet SAW lies who grew up
with as a child and the Prophet began to
weep and he said qu franca has
polka-dotted shalwick Tony don't please
stop it's enough you have made me yearn
from my home
he was yearning for the flowers of Mecca
not just for the Kaaba
he was yearning for the trees of Mecca
that he shaded under as a child
everybody loves the place they grew up
in her but what a minute
amen it's part of human condition it's
not a hadith but it's a basic fitness
statement so this is our country all of
you are here with every right unless
there's some illegal immigrants in the
hall now report yourself immediately to
Homeland Security and for those people
who came here who are going to report
back to your whoever that you report
back to because there's private
enterprise as well as public I would
just say this Imams Aid
I've known Imam David for many years now
Imams aide the lies that they tell about
this man just really bothered me
you know these right-wing people they
just recently wrote an article about him
Imams aides what grew up in very
difficult conditions but like many
honorable African Americans he joined
the United States Air Force to get out
of a certain situation he served
honorably unlike all these chickenhawks
Dick Cheney got six referrals right
seriously unlike these chicken Hawks
to talk about all patriotism in this
they've never served this country
they've served themselves they've served
themselves and he spearheaded this event
because he wants to see the best for
Humanity he's a universal man and he
loves humanity and that's what this was
about coming together to commune with
one another to share thoughts to be
together on a day before a very sad day
in American history but I want all of us
to remember the evil that came out of
the evil that occurred on September 11th
as well remember all the dead Iraqis
remember all the dead civilians in
Afghanistan remember those people
because they're nameless people we've
got now a memorial with all the names of
the people that died in New York
and in Washington their names are known
but we'll never know the names when I
read the New York Times it said six
civilians were killed yesterday in
Afghanistan they don't say Zana Hunnam
or BB Majid daddy or they don't give the
names they're just nameless people
nameless people they're not nameless
with God
so don't mind it come
