First to welcome mr. Yuri it's an honor to have her here and I was just looking I was shown a collection of some of the letters that she received from Malcolm X or Nothing shabbat shalom ah you called him shahida and rica and i was struck by this letter that he wrote her it was from kuwait on the twenty-seventh of September 1864 and it says still trying to travel and broaden my scope since I've learned what a mess can be made by narrow minded people and it's signed by the document and I think that if we look at the current situation that we find ourselves in it's certainly quite a
match and I were confirmed with the Iman
that largely been made by narrow minded
people as a renown said that
provincialism is the enemy and
provincialism is seeing things only from
the earth perspective and so the idea of
traveling in order to broaden one stove
because one of the interesting things
about the world they used to say seeing
is believing but the postmodernist
inverted that and make
breathing is seeing and what they meant
by that is that it is your belief system
which will determine what you see in the
world and one of the trouble that I've
always had is in separating between my
subjective experience and my objective
knowledge my subjective experience of
the world has been largely good and I
can honestly say that the vast majority
of human beings that I have met and
spent any time with I have actually
enjoyed being with them it's the
anomalous experience I've found that
being with people that I did not enjoy
being with and I can't say if I Will
Rogers that picture frame one who said
I've never met a man I didn't like I
wish I could share that that's called a
bomb in the Islamic tradition which is a
station with God and its fish station of
it wasn't video according to give an ID
that he shows in his commentary on the
99 names that the one who realizes the
name and what you which means to loving
God the ones we had the hot bubble
appearance of FIFA he realizes the
reality of that attribute of God you can
have no heat in his heart for anyone and
we notice in the fly when the prophets
tensions the people that he says I gave
your actions the provinces I keep your
actions when you spoke to his people and
the commentators say a proper she's not
taller people to the shoes that he hated
them you would actually have to have
some concerns for them in order to call
them to the truth and therefore what the
prophets hate is not the person or the
human being but they hate the actions to
emanate from them def harm room shelves
and harm others and this is why the
problem hundreds of the lighting
lighting
the pocket behind once according to the
hadith which doesn't have to be shown a
deep saw if you go passing and he stood
up and the plow but what if the
companion said to Allah o messenger of
how vicious a Jew and he said Allah
nation next up he didn't get a soul and
this is for something very deep that dr.
are we were talking about earlier and
also amongst Josh when he described
himself as poor thing when I was
studying Arabic logic one of my teachers
explain to me the difference between a
knob and the death something that is
essential and something that's
particular and the example that he used
was a circle or a ball of claw and he
said if you have a lot of red ball if
the redness necessary in order for the
ball to be a ball and I should know and
he said that that's and the hob and then
he said is the circular nature of the
ball necessary in order for it to be a
ball and I said yes and he said that is
essential and that is the difference in
logic between something which is
essential and something was just
particular or not essential and when we
talk about ourselves when FEMA shall I
spoke about being a Muslim and then the
next three things that were mentioned a
black man an African and American now of
all those things there was only one that
was essential and the others were
incidental what would you send to was
his states and relationships which is
created and I know that the Imam was not
free to be a Muslim in the sense that he
claims to be
state of absolute revision with his Lord
but when he said when he said I am a
Muslim I am committed to the path of
surrender to a multiple data and that is
why it's essential because that
according to the Muslim is what goes on
in the next world as for the color as
for the country the Prophet Muhammad
peace be upon said everyone is easily
the passport in order to get into
paradise it's an ayah be systematic
Mataji where they can use the word
collage which is the monitor if it
weren't for passport which did not
excuse that the type of you was speaking
he said everybody is given a passport
and on that passport it says boo boo boo
instead I'm an ending enter into this
place with ease in a state of
tranquility and security and it's saying
one tradition that we the believers
perks coming to paradise they repeat for
what is an untold number or an untold
amount of time the words mmm they just
keep repeating over and over again
shutdown shutdown shutdown which is
peace peace peace because why me what
they were always looking for has been
achieved and this is where we get into
the topic year of between war and
understanding war is very interesting
phenomena it's existed as long as soon
beings according to the piranha
according to the Bible we have at the
outset of this human experience a
conflict between the children of Adam
and I was saying that I had a fist
quality to imam siraj banana Sophia's
add to me that he is a human being he is
a child of Adam and that
essential and not incidental and while
kinkos might differ or Adamic nature
does not differ and that is what really
bothers us at a much deeper reality and
that's why we have her from different
worlds in this country we have different
life experiences and yet we have come
together as floaters the stair something
very powerful and the probability sleep
onset of allah allah and muhammad potato
he has no face the one who has no lock
and add that a merman Demonata potato he
has no taste the one who i build up and
he repeated it three times and he said
Hawaii Latino Center but a decision to
move to have the cooties off can't I
points you people to something that if
you GD you would have love for one
another and he said for my evaluation
them options are available spread peace
amongst yourself and I was this parabola
coffee in beginner at once we were in a
mischief in the mark of the property 31
and they have people at the door that
sometimes a very gruff and there was a
man there at the door well we used to go
through at buzzer which is the dawn
prayer and we would walk in i would say
fell out equal to him and he would say
bye to them and show the next day i
justit's Arabella foggy I wanna
experiment with that happy but the
public said a lot of items for them can
i indicate some g if you did it you
would start loving each other spread
peace and so the next day I saw a shame
that I said teleological you said
why we do sound a little restaurant but
we weren't there yet on the third day I
saw the same man and I was bitch shut up
on a hobby who's my witness and he's a
death one and I said oh Heidi cook and
he said why he in her and he smiled
and then on the fourth day we came in
and a lot of my witness I shall try an
equal and he came up and he hugged you
he gave me the hub and he was a father
and when that indicated to me is human
being can be worn down just if you have
wars of attrition you offer of peace of
a tree in other words you need to wear
your opponent's dinner and sometimes
people are belligerent for very valid
reasons the female was mentioning
earlier but that was insurance can still
be removed with good intentions and
goodwill that it takes effort one of the
interesting things about Jesus is the
war is actually a positive metaphor we
talk about the war on drugs or the war
on terrorism in the arabic language war
is a negative medical there would never
talk about a war against something evil
they would talk about it jihad because
the odd is very different from Warren
easy to be hanging is that according to
the amount of Islam if Ana Lucia said
that the meaning of jihad there are two
names of Jenna there is this the
printable of jihad which is probably
moved up and then there's the
institution of jihad the principle of
jihad is a universal principle that has
nothing to do with military endeavors
smirking what Sherlock that is the
principle of Gaea it is the struggle and
applause what is wrong
yourself and what is around you but then
of the institution of jihad which is a
state institution and according to the
scholars it is instituted by of legal
government for the removal of
belligerent and that is the wording in
the Arabic language as you haggle
without eyes as a weekly disaster to
kill off jihad is approaching enemies in
order to remove belligerent and it is
not one because one of the things that
war does is it destroys human genes and
if you don't anything i would recommend
reading a book called flores of course
that gives us meaning by Chris Hedges
who was a war correspondent for 20 years
he was in Bosnia he was in South America
he was in Central America he was in
Palestine he saw ha una camp he saw 10
year old children produced out into the
open by Lebanese Christian mercenaries
working for his lady troops in the
Arabic language and then shot with m16
with Silas's on this is a New York Times
correspondent a winner of many awards in
journalism who saw that he said it's the
only time in his players of war coverage
where he saw children perfectly seduce
that in order to eliminate he said in
Sarajevo be snipers targeted children
but he said here he he saw with his own
eyes children being seduced now because
their mothers were being cursed in
Arabic and they came out to throw rocks
in that book what he said he talked
about the addiction of war the power of
war the seductive nature of war that
people become seduced by war Charles
Emperor sugar who flew across the
Atlantic
give a seat in 1941 just before the
attack on pearl harbor any nasty she
said why are our cinemas and theatres
being filled with plays and films at war
by war this is propaganda because we
watch Mel Gibson who never seems to die
no matter how many bullets are flying
are glorifying the war in Vietnam which
is a shameful first on the history of
this country glorifying the Lord the
incineration of people that were being
killed and this is a little-known fact
being fueled because of a very rare
metal Zoners tungsten which is actually
in eyes knowledge pt.1 this country
about the military-industrial complex
but also talking about the necessity of
nylons Vietnam football to the Chinese
because they only two major sources of
toasted in the world china and vietnam
and tungsten is a very important metal
for high-tech instance war is something
that people get addicted to and now we
see all of these when I way into barnes
and noble just after September's rabbit
there was all these amazing displays or
World War two and right before that we
had a movie about twelve Harbor which
was a love story isn't that interesting
so you associated the most heinous
attacks on this country with a love
story where the emotions are so this
book is a testimony to the care of war
and it was an American Confederate
General already even said War is hell
and he became the rector on the military
institute in the South Africa
and they said that during the drills use
of purposely marched out of step because
people that have seen what those people
are seen either become a secret and want
more or they become qualified and want
put it into it and those are the choices
tell if you look at the food grade
classes in the Western civilization that
are foundational to what's called the
greco-roman civilization the Iliad and
adoption by the one poet Homer the idiot
is about war but the oddity is about the
attempt to get home after you've been
through of war and what happens to you
didn't throw discus in his attempt to go
back to normality after he's been
through a bloody and carnage field
experience very difficult and when he
gets however first thing he does is
magic for all the guests in the house so
it's interesting when our special forces
fellows get back from Afghanistan go to
Fort Bragg and kill for freedom who
happen to be there why it's very
difficult to come back home after you've
been in a war because war has a very
very terrible effect on the shoulder
it's not easy to kill a person these
were takes it very easy when he says
make my day they don't see pretty good
in those films suffering the addiction
of alcohol or drop to attempt to remove
the memory of that person making his day
fatal tells you that more Vietnam
veterans of committed camera shy since
I'd in Vietnam well that over twenty
percent of the homeless in this country
or Vietnam veterans because those are
the position that nobody cares about
trying to make their way back home after
the carnage so
hear the drums of war being drummed up
its kind of seriously wake up and
competitor who's manipulating mood it's
very easy to manipulate equal son has
anger opponent so as to throw them into
disarray and that was a book called the
art of war anger opponent saw us to
throw them in disarray but the same
philosopher of war also said a wide
general or leader will never start a war
in a state of anger because a nation
which destroyed can never be brought
back and a life once taken can never be
restored so those Afghan ease that were
celebrating their wedding seat when the
collector ball fell on them who can
bring them back and where's the memorial
for them and where are the tubes for
those people one of the things that
Shakespeare said in Henry 261 crop of
blood from my country bosom should
grieve me more than streams of for gore
provincialism is the enemy that might be
fine and dandy in a time when the
English actions were distinct race
defending their short but that is no
longer a sentiment that can be tolerated
in a world in which we all living side
by side because little Kabul is right
down the road in fremont and maybe some
of their relatives were in that wagon
seat there's 10,000 doctors in this
country from pakistan in the arab
countries the person treating your wife
or treating your child when you put
their life into it inland
an American comedian can say on national
television program there's certainly a
lot of Muslims in this country I look to
my doctor the other day you said face
Mecca and cost and everybody not when
that joke is understood by a large
number of Americans you know that Muslim
physicians are having an impact on this
country war is a negative term chef the
forearm talks about war finally putting
down is wrong for its weight 2 o's are
more the rates of war jihad on the other
hand is not like that because jihad is
about fighting for what is right and
english love is not allowed to fight
against descanses he cannot fight for
what he does not believe in it is
praised it it and i take a life unjustly
in this world collateral bubble tea is
an unacceptable concept as a principle
one of the english poet Byron said he
hated them too much to feel remorse and
thought provides of wrath of sacred call
to pay injuries of some on all thinking
that revenge is a which is bad does
anyone have that we have to fulfill
outside and this is unacceptable in our
current situation and that is why we are
indeed between war and understanding but
I would contend that the basket or a
people on this planet do not want war
the vast majority of people on this
planet like those people that we saw in
those films because that's the nitrogen
elusive world people have told me if
you're an American do you ever feel
afraid in the Muslim world and I feel I
feel afraid in downtown San Francisco
blackrock self is raining Cairo I've
never felt afraid in the robot or in
kasha blow
going fast emeka I walked in three in
the morning in those movies in the
booking countries and I've never felt
any sheriff I come home he's walking
down the streets of saying that he's
justin is so radical peace be upon thee
not your money or your life and I know
what to say back why the commercial um
no problems between us I was asked on
the Jazeera which is a narrow job do you
think America's at war with Islam and I
have to depression in but afterwards I
was dressing laughter because I realized
there was a problem and it's a logical
challenges of a fallacy of
personification when we say is America
at war with Islam if you are the first
explain to me what do you mean by
America's you mean emotional I few
introduce viewing of the audience after
doing the earth and healthy who define
what you mean by this negative thing
you're calling America because America
is a tapestry of human being
narrow-minded positional redneck racist
they're all there but there's also all
those other people there are hoses those
narrow minded races before you're trying
to enlighten people know you keep them
and expand their scope and understanding
so we don't have to live in a world will
be fearful our children because of the
color of their skin or the fact that
they're wearing a cookie on their hand
or our dollar so this is something we
ought to ask ourselves with your mark
are you talking about because the
America that I love and I understand is
the America of Emerson and henry davis
erupted and Meldrum and the Daniel
hostel and Sojourner Truth a tower woman
shows your the truth South America
that it's those people that in spite of
the wrongs of this country all you stood
up and invoices the truth and that is
something that we have to get at because
those once again just being in America
Africa and Saudi Arabia staff being
Palestine they have to be in France in
Italy and those wouldn't need to be hurt
and those are the voice of sanity those
are the voyages of healthy it's the
voices that are reminding people of what
is right and they're all popular boys
with long popular but those voices from
employers that are earning there are
lots of people the naysayers at the time
those people it's not the Athenian that
our honor they are your version is it's
the man they kill this already Western
University that's environment because
these both the truth and they sacrifice
it when they ask you because the
Athenians were very civilized in their
barbarity they said what if we will give
you the choice of determining your
punishment for crimes against the state
and Socrates was like you just give me
free meal for the rest of my life and
and you said I'm not being funny I think
you a great service by reminding you
what you're doing wrong I'm fulfilling a
public service and that is like that
voice is a voice that's our adapter is
dead because it is only with the 2020
vision of hindsight does those people
that were seeing down the road are
suddenly she is Visionnaire he was
certainly ahead of his time well it's
about time we caught up with all those
people because so many of them have
already died in the past
so let us know where we should be and
that is why every country has ideal
because you don't measure your success
with your standards you measure the
short-term you measure your inability to
achieve those in and thats why linux
country would form they wrote in their
decorations those founding fathers that
all men are created equal and that ideal
was true but the reality was not sure
still not to NewsCenter but the
recognition of the ideal because
hypocrisy as the fetch water says its
Bahamas to fight a movie the ideal has
to be always there that is what we are
talking about and the ideal be sure to
like and comment as been yeah in Italy
stage in the eleventh hour to the
fighting and tear each other's office
still armed with knives and even learn
those lessons that the strong piracy and
devastate nation the Gulf states now
have untold rates of cancer of genital
deformities all come to go for and get
this country is preparing for a mother
because it's because I a Hollywood movie
they thought you both will want it now
that's what Hollywood does when they
have a successful movie they make a
hemant work why does that yellow glad
you get it back broken you see because
these matter gamblers that's what they
are that's what warmongers are they're
gamblers because the things that were
always got away with it in the paddock
if you get away with it again but
there's going to be a time when you lose
when Gerry Ford gets on national
television and
all a man that launches of the world
considered to be the greatest human
being why doesn't he feel healthy be
professions which I have even on
Christian who have traditionally this
peacefully in those countries because
Christians have been protected in the
Muslim lands for centuries the Coptic
Christians 8 million Christians in Egypt
the Christians in India the Christians
in Pakistan the Christians in truckee
because human beings are easy to get
emotionally roused up in and their
ignorance assoc say something like that
little secret that we forgot into the
house in the problem honesty sleep on
these ships doctor is your father and
the father they said healthy be triggers
our Father because that we don't think
that the lsat no knowledge 0 which is
what we call sillier than tiny a word
this is know how early the news in
english because the congress of honoring
parents has been so far removed from our
society but in arabic is once the seven
major reasons that people destroy their
soul to open body Dame Celia impiety the
problem honestly don't hurt your
graduate exhaustion while help you
because I'll trenches it by trusting the
sounds of another man and then he in
turn churches your parents that is the
preemptive strike that the three of the
front you want to know what a preemptive
strike this is holy people up and giving
them their honor their dignity not
humiliating them not putting them into
work if promising indeed has weapons of
mass destruction on to threaten him with
eliminating him because he would want to
go out every bit of that but if it's
illogical Rockies that are going to get
poisoned by those idiots not that
important because people have addressed
the history of bombing until the zinc
two values your bodies are very
interesting
group of the first people Bob Davidians
who evolved by the economy in 1911 as an
experiment they were civilians but the
Italians won't see how effective it was
to drop bombs on people for they went
out and drop bombs on some better work
and the reporting vacuum glorying
calories this is a very effective means
of destroying people and then shower
nobody knows about chefs out everybody
knows about Garrett Kopp because Picasso
painted a tragic picture of the people
of Jack over shuffling the ball but
don't you see the people of chefs chela
women and children in 1925 but were
bombed by American mercenaries pirate
paid by the French government an entire
city that was razed to the ground nobody
remembers the observers of sift shell or
the bombardment of alexandria by debris
asleep all civilians the first according
to spend approaches will just book
review giovanni it's the first actual
aerial bombing that was done
purposefully against the civilian
population and so the believer is the
boys are accused of dissolving
practicing law in the hospital because
if we look at history if you guys are
channeling inside seat and there was a
aneeq and christian and jewish man and
the subject was is wrong and violence i
shall i feel very honored to defend our
position 1 i've got preaching
doing our Muslim brothers in Bosnia I
have is great feeling my Muslim brothers
in Palestine and I got into Chile my
little brothers in India but cash
position was a very intelligent lone the
authority said is human nature to hate
those you hurt you have to be the rain
to other people when you do them wrong
that's human nature but it's also human
nature to forgive it's also human nature
to resolve conflicts humans are very
adept at that if they choose but it is a
choice and it's a conscious choice and
it takes color and it takes effort the
founding fathers of this country George
Washington felt that it was in the
interest of the United States to pay
jizya instead of going to war with the
army and shows his government agrees
with a digit to the honor and devote
that war is you costly and endeavor and
John Adams said that when he feared most
for this country's militarism that if
the economy becomes a military economy
that it would be the destruction in the
end of this country because it's what
the destroying on appointee who studied
21 of civilizations and came to the
conclusion that all exam followed
identical pattern and their destruction
was always the result of the same
circumstances that they themselves
created what the greeks called nemesis
he said the pattern was 12 rubriz and
then the final one wants the Nemesis or
the calamity the college she said was
she SAT a civilization becomes very
successful and then leads to oprah's
with the Greek sometimes called
arrogance but it really meant
extravagant behavior as a result of a
feeling of superiority that we can do
what we want might makes right like the
melians when
facilities the Greek historian in the
Peloponnesian War look at the Athenians
obligation that we have to the hilum of
you though in order to invite them to
join the coalition and the Greeks
ambassador is very invitation went like
this after the money explained to them
that they preferred like Switzerland
they didn't use that as an example but
they prefer like Switzerland to remain
neutral in the conflict between Athens
and Sparta the Athenian ambassadors head
we are strong and therefore we do what
we drilled and you are weak and
therefore you do what you must that was
the invitation to the coalition and the
valley is according to vicinity felt a
very interesting thing they said
basically an American colloquial
language what goes around comes around
and the detective type of attitude it
might be very long if you find
yourselves in a very similar position to
us and by the end of the book those
Athenians are being massacred by the
Spartans and the melions were being
restored to their islands by the
Spartans and that was the lesson from
that historian who Colin Powell said was
worth his inspiration so I'm looking at
he read that part Jordan Washington
preferred the pages yes and to go to war
with the Ottomans because he fell two
hundred fifty thousand dollars a year
from a lot cheaper than creating a
military and suffering the cost of more
lost lives because what is the life work
according to insurance companies in this
country is 150 thousand dollars well if
that's the case then naturally probably
about 138 people so what is a life worth
of life is priceless obviously you can't
replace your life and I have a dear
friend in Iranian whose brother was
killed in the Battle of stop fighting
the Iraqis and you wrote a poem that was
called the flowers of April because he
was killed in April and he said in that
phone and I'm
verified he wrote it in very beautiful
language but he said I see the flowers
of April blooming again this year but I
don't see you moving those flowers come
back but you my boss brother will never
come back and that's something for us to
think about total treaty which every
taxi driver in Egypt can give you an
extended vector on and you'll be
hard-pressed to file of THC in America
this ever heard of it the sykes-picot
treaty was a treaty to split up to look
the world into spheres of influence by
the British and French there's a film
out now and I just saw a trailer for it
with Antonio Banderas and fed on the
film your worst enemies are your friends
you double cloth and I realize that
Hollywood can come up America's problem
in one line did you have to give him
credit so it's time we stop double
clotting people it's time we lived up to
these ideals the farewell address of
George Washington in which he said that
our policy is be with all nations that
of benevolence good bill and commerce
resilient picked a snitch and so does
good state policy but that's what this
country should be doing we're not honest
brokers in the Middle East I solve the
problems and people from now that I was
an advisor to boot you didn't take my
advice and I give a letter in that
letter I clearly say the reasons why I
Afghanistan with sake bomb can't bomb
the country that one ball the drop on
that country cost more than the entire
April
any that you're longing you can't bother
Daisy cluster fog on a people that have
had 20 years of bombardment that had 80
million landline put there by rightness
in this country we have a former
national security adviser who boasts
about having seduced the Russians in
Afghanistan in an operation that was
called Operation mosquito to give the
Russian bear malaria and walk it drop
and so 1.5 million Afghan you those
notable freedom fighters back in the
Reagan gear same characters that
suddenly became the evil empire at the
same time that the key for entire
looking transform into our best current
and something I feel a little queasy
like I'm in an Orwellian world maybe
it's Allison longer than my slip through
the looking glass and right now who I am
I say I don't know I changed so many
times today but this is the reality of
the situation your worst enemies or the
best friends you double-cross in store
that has it says because the only thing
down on room set up to every people we
have appointed right and she'll know
whom NASA cool which day must follow the
language economy let them they not
dispute with Z about the matter that you
are in to the problem what Rosie
O'Donnell pika in deca Diana weekend was
and call to your laws because
you are on a straight path when you get
a new job would you know about that
metal and if they should argue with you
about what you're calling to them safe
God knows death about what you're doing
a logic from Albania from llamo te amo
mi from comfy custody
God will judge between you about your
differences on the day of judgment and
so that I saw are true what we seek to
be true and I believe that Islam is true
and I believe that it abrogates and I
believe that it is a final message to
humanity but I recognize the right of my
Christian Gregory and purest reference
and prudence and all these other people
to follow our gerontologist cell phone
is true and that is what i was using
teaches us we can invite and I worked
out is but like the great American
calligrapher seven order for invitations
to be real it has to be open to the
Jackson if an invitation is really
intimidated then you have to accept the
fact that some people don't want to tell
me and that's why houses in this phone
says what would you say if you were
invited to a banquet as a guest of job
and when you arrive you found all these
people at that banquet in vain had all
been invited to how his note that the
Jews the Christians the Buddhist they're
all just of God here we're all on this
thing together we've all been invited
here together and the flyer says have
got one he would have made you one uma
the suburb will pay off so by was one
another in verse you guys the challenge
the challenge is to oppose war because
war is a capitulation to the worst
aspects of humanity war occurs when
people stop talking but will also begin
when people shun the wrong thing and the
Al shei over the top to them the fruity
good war is worried so if you want to
make peace with the people that voices
of the world planet
but who do you not just landed their
pocket it was believed you not to say
that they're not people she says that
they're all cherish you would do well hi
buying in the shade of the trees and
looking at those stations and ask
yourself this is the space of an evil
person because I shout at the feet of
mountains and I would just look at that
in all and they were wrong because they
had internalized the way of muhammad
you
