First of all, Jazakumallahu khayr again for having me. And the first things first is to talk to myself for one minute after a generous introduction which is to remember that Allah SWT and Surat Fatiha says, man kanu yuridu al-izzatah fadillahi al-izzatu jami'ah, those who seek glory let them know all glory belongs to Allah SWT.  As long as our words are aligned with that justice, you will continue to resonate with what I have to say and if I was to say something completely on the opposite, you would not resonate with Sami anymore and that is the greatest proof that what you're resonating with is the cause not the individual and all glory belongs to Allah SWT and the highest honor that a servant can achieve is to be a vehicle through which to pursue that justice or through which that justice comes about. I like to think that I may have contributed a little bit in the same way that everybody else here has contributed to it as well and may Allah always use us as vehicles for his particular cause. After talking to myself now for a minute, I'll talk to you now. Sometimes when you do this quite often, the message can appear the same and sometimes you sit in the hotel room and I've seen way too many hotel rooms, I've only been to London for eight or nine days in the past three months and I hope to go to London soon but apparently it will be a pistol before I come for another leg if they let me through the border. If they let me through the border. And sometimes you get comments sometimes where they say, you know, Sami jazakallah here for the videos and for the three months but bro we need new content and sometimes I don't know what to reply. I mean, what is it that you are getting used to? Is it you had the truth about the genocide for too long and now you want to shake it up a bit? Is it that you got bored of hearing, not you specifically but those who said it, did you get bored of hearing that children are having their limbs amputated without anesthesia? Did you get tired of hearing about hospitals being bombed and seeing the limbs of the patients dangling from outside dead? Did you get bored of hearing about the babies being slaughtered? Did you get bored of the images of the children wandering around the streets of Palestine crying out mama, baba and the nurses have to lie to the child and say your parents are alive when they know full well that the child's entire family have been wiped out and now there is a new term used by refugees, agencies and charities about the surviving child with no surviving family members? The fact that the message has to be repeated constantly over and over again shows how deficient the world has become with regards to morality that we are now 100 plus days in and still we find that we are still witnessing a genocide, live stream, ethnic cleansing, live stream, slaughter, live stream. Not only that, we're seeing a world that throughout international law entirely desperate to protect this environment in which to allow this genocide and ethnic cleansing to take place. We saw the human rights that they kept talking about for years and years and years as if they were the bastions of human rights. We saw them throw out those human rights because the Israelis happened to be a particular color and they wanted to protect that and the genocide was being done to a people of another color and those people aren't necessarily deserving of human rights. We think that the world has progressed but in reality it reminds me of 1945 when the French, not that I was alive in 1945, I'm saying it reminds me of what I read about 1945. In 1945 when the France was liberated from Nazi Germany the allies all got together to write a document and in this document they wrote that every man is born free and every people have the right to self-determination and the allies got together and they patted each other on the back and they said look how moral we are, look how wonderful we are in terms of our justice and then the French while they were celebrating in Paris their humanity had having defeated the evil Nazi Germany while they were celebrating in Paris they received news that Algerians in Steef, Kharata and Galma had taken to the streets because they had read this document and they said wow we're entitled to freedom, wow we're entitled to self-determination and the French were so outraged that these people believed the document referred to them that in the space of one week they massacred 30,000 Algerians in the same period after they had just been liberated from Nazi Germany to say to the Algerians hey hey hey this law this human rights this freedom belongs to us not to you how dare you challenge France, France is great you cannot challenge us and they bury they massacred they say 12,000 and they say it without any sort of reservation we made it as if 12,000 is a small number the Algerians say 50,000 I went for the middle number 30,000 so that no one can say exaggeration no one can say I was too conservative 30,000 Algerians in one week massacred because they wanted the same rights that Europe at the same time was celebrating when they wrote their document of the Geneva Convention that was 1945 we are 2024 and exactly the same attitude is being manifested by the free world exactly the same attitude is being displaced displayed by exactly the same people whose grandfathers committed the same massacre that they did in Algeria and the irony that the same people who committed the Holocaust are now the ones cheering another genocide again supporting them some people are saying it's out of guilt I don't think it's out of guilt I think it was a transplanting of settlers who came from Europe they were I don't watch I don't read Reddit I don't read Reddit I'd like to go on record I don't read Reddit however I saw this Reddit piece on Twitter I don't read Reddit for those of you who read Reddit you know exactly why I'm saying I don't read Reddit I saw it on Twitter they said that an Israeli settler took an ancestry test now I did an ancestry test and I discovered that I am about I think it's 20% West African about 30% North African about 35 40% Arabian Peninsula I think there's a couple maybe 2% European in it but we don't need to talk about that. So a settler in Israel took an ancestry test and they found that they were 100% Eastern European and so they put on they said guys I think there's something wrong with the test can someone help me and then someone wrote on top is anybody going to tell him the reason why I mentioned the idea of the settler colonialism is because before the settlers came from Europe Jews and Muslims were living side by side in Jerusalem for hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years every time the Europeans got involved in the issue they would turf the Jews from Jerusalem and the Muslims would say you can come back. Then the Christians would come again Europeans white supremacist Europeans they would massacre kick out the Jews again Salahuddin Ayyubi would turn up he wouldn't commit any massacre of the kind but tell the Jews come back anti-Semitic white supremacist Europe that committed the Holocaust in 1945 it's almost as if there's a muscle memory when it sees what's happening in Gaza there's an excitement but it doesn't know where their excitement is coming from we've seen this before and we enjoyed it before why should we stop it guys this was so fun when we did it Germany is going all out to say go go go do this genocide some people said out of guilt I don't think it's out of guilt so ya Ibad Allah if you are bored with the same message over and over and over again know that you're not bored of Sami you are bored of the call of justice you are bored of Da'wah perhaps you are bored of the 1400 year old message of the Quran it's been the same for 1400 years never been changed Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala made the message eternal because the message of justice is eternal so ya Ibad Allah I will give the benefit of the doubt and say that what these people are really suffering from is fatigue because justice is hard justice is difficult justice requires struggle requires perseverance the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam went 13 years in Mecca being persecuted in Da'wah no army no money no control over the media his Sahaba being beaten up by the Kaaba somebody came and put animal organs in front of him some say on top of him put on the floor with a rock put on the top of him before the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam could even give Da'wah in public some of the Muslims have to flee it gets too much they have to go to Habashah so after 13 years they suffered 13 years trying struggling 13 years for justice remember before the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam he was living a nice comfortable life for 40 years of his life he had no problems with Quraish they called him Sadiq they called him Amin they called him trustworthy they loved him they would leave their property with him he was like a spoiled child of Mecca they loved him spoiled not in a negative way spoiled as in they loved him so much that they would treat him very well when did the problem start for the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam when he stood up and he said why do you bury your daughters why do you abuse your neighbor why do you treat each other badly 13 years of that suffering 13 years of the same message over and over and over again 13 years but sahabah they don't get tired of the message of justice even though they're hearing it from the same person over and over and over again for 13 years and after 13 years Allah SWT doesn't give him the ability over Quraish he tells him to leave Mecca leave and go to Medina and the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is so heartbroken that even though Allah SWT has ordered him to leave Mecca as he leaves Mecca he turns around looks at it and says wallahi you are the dearest land to me and wallahi if your people had not driven me from you I would never have left you the Prophet is in tears heart broken that 13 years of given dawah and struggling and those 13 years end with him having to leave Mecca to flee in the night when the night when they try to kill him and to flee being chased by Quraish who are desperate to kill him and he has to hide in a cave and Allah sends the spider and the bird's nest in order to try to throw off the scent from those who have chased him 13 years the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam never tires of this message so Ya Ibad Allah for those who are tired of hearing it beware what you say keep it as I'm tired of Sami don't say you're tired of the message because getting tired of me is no problem that's perfectly fine you know sometimes you hear it you know and then when you're in a marriage you know sometimes I'm tired of seeing your face class yeah in any case to the issue at hand so after thinking very deeply about how to convey a message that you've already probably heard many times over I've decided that instead of mixing it up we'll do the same message again and barak allafi you can for tolerating it because Allah said remember for remembrance benefits the Muslim take it or leave it in terms of where we are where we stand at this moment in time Haritz reported four or five days ago that Israel has proposed a two-month truce with hummus and hummus are now considering the details you have to be careful of it you know just just you know tolerate it for now the ICJ also delivered a historic moment that will go down in history now I've seen many people say that the ICJ failed miserably because they didn't call for a ceasefire or something like that hey bad Allah did any of you even think for a second that the ICJ could stop the war or the genocide that wasn't what Israel was concerned about that wasn't what genocide Joe was concerned the views expressed by the speaker the speakers own and do not reflect those of the organization they belong to Sami alone and please do not consider any reaction from this audience anybody who celebrates what I say has also nothing to do with the organization or anything they didn't ask me what I would say I didn't tell them what I would say this is a serious disclaimer despite the reaction of this audience which I have nothing to do with I'm going back to London they're the ones who will have to decide who comes into power afterwards has nothing to do with them and no I'm not moving to the US it's too far to fly everywhere I flew from Dallas so initially when I came to America in November and I landed in on the west coast in LA and you all know the story by now I landed dressed for London weather cold London I see five days of summer a year just so you know I see the sun five times a year and I don't even see them in one go you know it's different it comes at separate days so imagine my reaction when I flown 11 hours and not only that they made me fly London Istanbul backwards three hours and then fly 13 hours 13 half hours to Los Angeles when I landed in Los Angeles the pilot says ladies and gentlemen welcome to Los Angeles airport the weather is clear skies sunny and it's something something fahrenheit because we didn't Celsius because we're sophisticated not the I know America likes everything big I think maybe you didn't like the idea of 26 Celsius so you had to make it 70 or 80 something you know everything has to be big you know your chick you're that bit out of yours chicken and waffles has to be big the portions have to be big everything has to be big you know your roads are big the cars are big so when I landed in lovely sunny LA I stepped out and I looked out and I said Allahu Akbar this was 25th November 26th so winter I said Allahu Akbar I never knew winter could look like this in the world Allahumma I would never spend winter anywhere else but I didn't truly appreciate how big America was until some brothers of mine who I reluctantly called friends because they invited me and they said to me Sami we heard you're in America would you like to visit us in Chicago I haven't finished the story here now I I'm not used to coming to America first time I came to America was 2018 for a wedding and even that was the east coast that was only six and a half hour flight like my friend found a Yemeni in Raleigh and he wanted to marry her and out of this big world you couldn't find somebody except in America and then because I had to go and apply for the visa because Obama introduced the Muslim ban so because of Obama as we called him when he first came to power and then we just now say Barack Obama because he betrayed us so horribly Barack Obama listed the sets of a number of countries that if you've been to them you have to go to the embassy to apply and I'd been to Sudan in 2013 beautiful lovely Sudan that is now in the middle of a war because the UAE and Washington said if we hold elections Sudanese will choose parties that align too closely with the idea of Islam bin Zayed the head of the president of the UAE told Jake Sullivan according to New York Times this isn't my word and the views expressed by the speaker's own and this view is the New York Times view as well it's not the view of this organization but they wrote in the article The Dark Prince in the Middle East that Muhammad bin Zayed told Jake Sullivan after the Arab Spring that these are people in this region in this Middle East region these are people who believe a 1400 year old book should be a constitution do you really want these people to choose their leaders and Jake Sullivan later said we turned out bin Zayed was more right than not when it came to these affairs when Sudan Omar al-Bashir's government was toppled after 30 years of sanctions those Sudanese if anybody Sudanese here and says revolution or greatest greatest of respect there's no revolution in 2019 yes there were protests but not revolution protests took to the streets large protests UAE got excited Washington got excited Salah gosh the head of intelligence took the opportunity so did the general Abdel Fattah al-Burhan so did Himmati they got together they said let's ride these protests at top of the al-Bashir regime and then when the people thought that they did a revolution and they demanded elections they very soon got a rude awakening that not Washington nor Abu Dhabi nor Riyadh believed that they did a revolution the Riyadh Abu Dhabi and Washington came together with the generals who are top of the al-Bashir with leftist civilian parties who knew they would never win an election and they made a deal they said guys look if we let the Sudanese have an election we'll get the same result as Tunisia Egypt Libya and all these other Arab Spring countries where in Tunisia after 90 years of top-down secularism the Tunisian still chose Islamic leaning parties they didn't vote Muslim brotherhood Muslim brotherhood were the beneficiaries of a people who were inclined to Islam which is why today when many Tunisians believe the Islamists abandoned the principles of Islam they still love Islam even if they don't love the Islamists very two separate different things here they said if we hold elections in Sudan then they will vote for people similar to how the Tunisians Egyptians voted so they came up with a deal they said let's negotiate a transition the generals who topped al-Bashir after 30 years of sanctions you can rule for two years and the leftist parties who would never win an election we will give them 69 percent of the parliament appointed so that they can embark on the ideological changes that the washington wanted and for which it imposed sanctions to achieve in those two years the leftist parties and the general together they removed Islam from Sudan's constitution as part of a deal with rebel groups they normalized ties with Israel knowing it would never happen democratically then in 2021 when the general was supposed to hand over power to the leftist parties he turned around and he said guys come on these parties would never win elections i want to rule okay listen if you don't let me rule i'll hold elections and they told him no no no no no no elections please please let's negotiate again let's make a new agreement we'll call it the framework agreement the general said okay let's negotiate they negotiated for a year at the end of the year the general said i still don't like this agreement i don't want to hand over power to these leftists he went to egypt and he asked cc can he help me out cc said show i don't want ua to need to have a lot of influence so they expanded the participation of the civilian parties ua e got frustrated so did the leftist civilian parties so they asked the head of a militia himiti they said to him burhan lives two streets down from you if you could go in the middle of the night do you think you'd be able to assassinate him he said sure no problem so he goes two streets down burhan gets a tip off the general runs away and then the whole country is plunged into war and the ua is so dead set on sudan not choosing that it would rather support a militia that is committing genocide in sudan than allow the sudanese to have any elections to choose their leaders because these are people who believe a 1400 year old book should be a constitution and therefore they should never be trusted to vote that's sudan in a nutshell i had been to sudan in 2013 and i loved it which meant i had to go to the embassy to apply for my visa and i didn't want to go and apply for my visa and my friend told me why i told him i can't come to your wedding he said why i told him because i don't want to go to the american embassy and asked him please can you let me in your country i don't know i feel it's beneath my dignity yeah like you know i said well i cut karmina beneath adam we go we gave man dignity why should i throw in my dignity he goes you throw away that wretched dignity of yours and you come to my wedding i told him i'm not the one i'm not the one who chose an american to get married to you could have brought her to birmingham and get married to her and birmingham why should i go to america and tell them please for what for a wedding he for you he said yes for me so no i'm not going it's only you'll go anyway i told him you want me to stand in the queue in an american embassy and then go to the window and tolerate that interview process he said wallahi if you don't go this will be firakun beini wa beinik this will be the end of our relationship because there are only eight people coming from the uk and there are 400 of herla so i thought yallah halas let me make engineer it so that they reject me that way it won't be my fault why would i want to go to the eye of saura you know like i don't i don't understand it why would i want like why you know i have no rakhba i have no desire to come to america i did at the time now i've grown to love the country to be honest but in any case allahe barak so when i went to the interview of course you got prayed fajr and i went i booked the early appointment for some reason i went and stood in the queue in the cold in london because we have five days of summer if you remember and i went in stood in the queue i went in and i said yeah he is this friend really worth all of this and then i went to the guy in the interview now i know on the west coast you guys have this because when i came to la i went in the morning to go to a cafe i went to the cafe i realized like to be honest west coast people are a bit too happy so for example like you'll go in the morning and then somebody's drug imposter goes hey how are you good morning and you're like oh did i say something you're continuing just go on your way why are you so happy so early in the morning the west east coast people are a bit more similar to us london is to be honest east coast is like hello what do you want so i went to the interview the guy tells me what's the purpose of your visit that's the beginning of the hurting of the dignity i'm going for a wedding where roly how long you staying not a second longer than i need to i didn't actually say that i didn't have the nerve i said i was staying for 10 days i said okay what do you do so i'm a risk consultant he said what's that and by this i thought you know what this is a bit too much i don't need to go to america i don't need to go through this process you know my grandfather was a mujahed against the french you know in the mountains kicked out the french if he was alive and he saw that he'd tell me shame on you you know so i said to me you know what google samy hamdi some fire he said what i said google samy hamdi i thought he was going to tell me no i'm not he said okay i said i was quoted in fox news yesterday i didn't actually give a quote to fox news so don't judge me i had given a quote to el gizera and they had taken on fox news so he went because he looked a bit right wingy as well whatever that means so he goes oh yeah you were calling fox news and break bar oh and he looked happy about break bar which to be honest is not my proudest moment but i never gave them a i didn't give a quote to break bar they watched the el gizera and then they took it and then he said to me well welcome to america in my heart i almost said i just need to buy a maga hat and i'll be able to go through the board every time subhanallah you know but so because of obama i had to apply for a visa and the like and muslim banner and whatever so when it came to the with regards to sudan and with regards to america and then gaza and the like the reality is that when it comes to this process of the icj ruling that many muslims are now saying that we are upset because it didn't call for a ceasefire about the law you're looking at it the wrong way the icj was never supposed to call for a ceasefire the icj was never supposed to stop the genocide the reason the israelis were so worried about the genocide about the icj ruling is because the icj has decided that israel is going to stand trial for genocide something that was unthinkable five months ago some who would imagine five months ago that you could even question the foundation of the israeli state who would have thought five months ago that israel would be on trial at an international court for genocide and not even genocide joe would be able to get israel off the hook that not any of israel's allies would be able to get them off the hook for the next five years israel is going to be dragged through an international court being accused of genocide that means you know when companies go to invest in israel usually you know part of my job is due diligence i have to investigate a company to make sure that they don't have any red flags so a bit of a spy a bit mission impossible but the more the nerdy version you have to get corporate documents and find out who owns what the shares and that kind of stuff and and then you make a decision this person had a court case this person had whatever that kind of stuff that means when companies now do your work in israel they have to be careful they don't work with companies that might be implicated in genocide in the icj because if they do so then the icj rulings are recognized in the uk and also recognized in the us that means any muslim can raise a case against any company that works with the israelis in the uk and the us and the judge would not ask whether they have jurisdiction the judge would judge it because the icj has already given jurisdiction which means companies will be less inclined to even invest in israel it's a hit on israel regards to genocide and that hit in terms of the economy well illah alhamdulillah the views expressed other speakers and i have no idea what these guys are doing you've got to be careful with these things you know all the in the us's immediate reaction was to employ its spin and pr now for the to understand the spin and pr it's important to remember that new york times in cnn have gone from being media companies to pr agencies i'll give an example just so nobody thinks i'm exaggerating i'm not speaking emotionally i'm speaking seriously for example you if you remember the the idf bomb the jabalia refugee camp and they killed 400 palestinians now when they killed 400 palestinians the idf said openly we did it because we wanted to target a homeless commander and then they said that after the bomb we're not sure that we even killed the homeless commander which kind of makes sense when you have the peter breath sometimes it's hard to get the whole the homeless on top of it's important to use the correct terminology to make sure that google algorithm or youtube algorithm doesn't censor anything when the idf commander went on cnn the cnn presenter asks them what happened in jabalia refugee camp and the idf guy says we bombed it the cnn presenter is shocked for 10 seconds he forgets to ask the question he's a renowned zionist presenter as well so then the zionist guy you know says that the cnn presenter says are you sure he says yeah we bombed it he said about 400 people were killed so collateral damage and the cnn presenter goes we'll go to the next interview you know like this is good then cnn they got together and they said guys look we know the idf did everything but we know their pr is poor is there any way we can repackage this they said yeah sure we won't say that is there a bombed it we'll just say explosion at jabalia refugee camp and the new york time said yeah haram aleiko what kind of pr is this blast at the jabalia refugee camp i remember bbc they had a palestinian in london she lost 40 members of her family in palestine the bbc they showed this simply they said palestinian london loses 42 family members so somebody joked and said let's send our search party to find out where they where she lost them the point is that we see that pr in terms of what's happened so cnn in the new york times when it came to the icj ruling the pr machine went to spin the icj ruling as saying that they didn't find israel guilty of genocide john kerby gave a press conference in which he said the icj ruled that israel is not committing a genocide the icj ruled that there's enough evidence to show they committed a genocide and they should stand trial but to be honest i have to give it to john kerby because i think what he did was very american and i explained why i noticed with americans you guys are very good at branding you see in my hotel room i decided i was looking going through the guide channel and i saw football so i thought fantastic and i saw a bunch of men holding a ball with their hands throwing the ball with their hands catching the ball with their hands throwing it with their hands running catching it with their hands and touching down with their hands and they said goal american football and i said allahu akbar the branding is so powerful that they think this is a hand and they marketed it is and they think this is a foot and they marketed this as football and no one asks how it's like the emperor with no clothes no one wants to tell the american football association that there's no feet associated with their game so i understand when john kerby there they have the kicker that they always give that caveat because there's one phase of the game one phase one in which they kick the ball they said allah it's like when we play soccer or football you know we have the throw on because we have the throw on we should call it handball that's the logic that they follows over here so when i see john kerby you know doing the semantic gymnastics i think it's a very american thing to be honest you know the the rebranding of genocide as something that's mine or the like netanyahu of course has accused the icj of being anti-semitic because every criticism palestine is anti-semitic you know even if you put a palestine label on how much it's anti-semitic because you know it's the point here being is that the icj ruling has rattled the us it's rattled the israelis it's rattled the allies why because as this case continues the judges will ask the question about how genocide was made and they will pursue the road of who provided the weapons for this genocide to take place and they will find that genocide joe is the one who provided weapons not only that the court will discuss over the next five years why biden decided to off to go to congress and ask for 14 billion dollars to give to egypt and jordan to take in palestinians in order to facilitate the displacement something which is quite extraordinary when you think about so when i went to sunny blue sky sun sunny la of course it's my first time in america 2018 was my first time and then i came again in november and to finish off that story when i landed in blue sky sunny la again remember the brothers they asked me to come to chicago now i thought that your domestic flights is like europe i can go to paris in 35 minutes by plane or two hours by train i can go to germany to frankfurt one hour 15 i can go to croatia zagreb in two hours i can go to istanbul the length of europe in three hours so when they told me come to chicago i didn't know the geography of america very well i said adi they were like we'll pay for your flight bismillah when they set the ticket the ticket says estimated flight time four hours i thought maybe something wrong with the ticket would you mean four hours to fly just to chicago and that's a domestic flight with no tv on the plane they give you this basic package of we have free wi-fi you can access the wi-fi and watch on your device but there are no ports to charge your phone my phone dies in an hour and this is the worst part may Allah forgive them even though i love them i love you guys i wallah i do and when i came to chicago i came to see you as well because i didn't want to leave chicago without seeing you bismillah this you did me wrong i took off from sunny blue sky l.a and i said oh thank you so much west coast for this beautiful treatment for london i didn't realize how starved i was of the sun until i saw you in november and wallahi i will bring my family here because they need to see this even if it's a long flight and i took off and i said how wonderful america is how beautiful america is how sunny america is and then as we're approaching chicago the pilot says we've begun our descent please put your seatbelts on and i'm like i can't see chicago why there's so many clouds and you can't see anything the plane is in the clouds jumping through the turbulence you know like and you're like oh yeah and then while we're in the clouds the pilot goes you can hear the wheels go and the pilot goes cabin crew preparing for landing you're like what do you mean prayer for landing i can't see anything and then literally maybe 30 seconds before we hit the runway chicago appears and it's miserable i step out of the airport the brothers they say sammy welcome to chicago we're so happy to have you here and i'm the kind of person who puts his foot in his mouth sometimes i won't lie to you you know like i'm not i'm not sometimes i'm not dignified in these things so i walked in and they say sammy welcome and i said wallahi brothers salah i mean haram aleikum shaymon you i mean they were like what do you mean how can you pull me out of la to bring me to this place for something we could have done via zoom no you could have told me to come chicago first then la you know i'm used to just to give me a taste of that oh and then in any case the point of the story is when i landed in la we're talking about the 14 billion dollar that congress that bidenhouse congress to displace that will be investigating the icj over the next five years and it's important that you keep talking about Palestine so everybody remembers it because the only reason the court was brought that the case was brought to the icj is because the umma was so loud they shifted public opinion and that's what galvanized people to mobilize including the south africans god bless them we have so many muslim countries so many muslim governments so many constitutions that say la ilaha la la so many masajids so many imams so many wonderful tarawih prayers with thousands of people praying in these masajids not a single one of these nations thought to bring in the case to the icj it took south africa and nor muslim state in order to bring it for and may allah reward them and i'll tell you why because south africa knows what apartheid feels like and so they recognize apartheid when they see it done to the palestinians and also the south african apartheid movement the muslims played a major role in supporting mandela they were among the leaders as well because the south africans know that when they were going to in order to fight back against their apartheid they knew that their warmest allies were the muslims as well who are also south africans who were with them in their ranks who suffered with them were imprisoned with them and mobilized with them and the south africans recognize that and they know the relationship between the muslims and south africa is one of one body and that's why mashaAllah they are standing for the palestinians as the muslims one stood for south african apartheid the one stood for south africa against apartheid as well and this alhamdulillahi rabbal aalameen shows you that when you do a good deed it comes back to you alhamdulillahi rabbal aalameen back to my story of la so i land in la and of course it's my second time in america after having gone to see in the east coast and gone to see in raleigh and i enjoyed raleigh to be honest but i won't lie to you and i enjoyed new york you know when you land in new york i can't lie to you you know i'm sure everybody has the same feeling you enter and elisha keys is in your head yeah concrete jungle so anyway you go in and then when i flew from new york and the plane took off i can't lie to you the plane took off and i said to my friend thayib next to me if i never come back to america i don't think i would regret it that was before i came to the west coast so anyway i came to la and of course inside you feel like a five-year-old you want to go see the sights of you know where you saw in the movies you know i watched beveley hills cop growing up so i wanted to go see beveley hills so i went i wanted to go see you know hollywood you know how they have this wooden sign h o l l y w o o d and i don't know why it shows you american branding it's just how i mean that is what h o l l y w o o d it's nine letters on a hill in a random place in la but the branding was so amazing i had to go and see it so i drove because in la it's an hour to get to every place our freeway and the freeways aren't free it's always traffic so you go one hour and i went up and i saw it then i went to beveley hills when i got to beveley hills i was stunned because i saw tents lined up in this very rich area and i said to my friend what are these tents and he said homeless people i said may Allah help them there's only about 10 tents then i went there's this area i think it's like a parking lot or maybe like a former station subway station and it's loaded with homeless people biden said to congress that okay we have homeless people but is that really a priority when we have the chance to find genocide and ethnic cleansing come on guys we are 14 billion we have the chance to fund to solve the homeless problem or to fund genocide and ethnic cleansing is this even a debate guys i need 14 billion to fund ethnic cleansing when i was in raleigh in 2018 to go for the wedding we were in the car and the brides brother-in-law started vomiting in the car now i want to tell you something about how great my lovely city of london is and my great nation of the united kingdom god save the king if i wake up one morning and i go it felt funny i'm sure there was a chistiness to it sumayah to my wife i think uh just go to the doctor and ask the doctor and get a piece of mind okay and i do this i promise you i know it's very strange to you guys but i'll call the doctor doctor i'll cough this morning would you want me to do if i i need to see you why i think it's serious i have a space uh one week from now yeah that'll do that's fine but it might get serious in the next couple of days can we do an e-console online yeah sure we can do an e-console okay on the e-console you exaggerate so he's using the next day so he says you have to come in so you go in now listen i know it's foreign to americans but this is genuinely how it happens in the uk so you go to the doctor and you go doctor i coughed he says show me how and you go and the doctor says there's nothing wrong with you i told him check he goes to me there's nothing wrong with you i told him doctor i mean this with the greatest of respect i'll ask sheikh google and i think it might be cancer and i want to get it early so that it doesn't get worse he tells me get the hell out of my room i tell him i'm fine he goes you're fine i get peace of mind right over a cough god bless the national health service and may Allah protect it from those torries who are trying to defund it and get rid of it say amin i know you guys don't have it but you don't need to be jealous about it you can say amin so it can be protected for people like me okay so we're in rali and the brother starts vomiting in the car when he vomited in the car the first time his face goes green we're like ecchi as i did with my ecchi let's just go to a doctor and check it out and he's so horrified by the suggestion he vomits again he actually did vomit again but not that suggestion so we have a couple of doctors with us a falustini doctor umar abdel hadi so abdel hadi goes listen like he does a bit of what i did with the google he goes it might be meningitis you need to at least go check out just in case and i went yeah it might be many many what many meningitis yeah and i googled it to make sure what it was look serious so he vomits the third time and he actually did vomit the third time i'm not excited he vomited the third time and then we were like you know what forget it oh it was what we have 999 but you guys you have to be funky so you do 911 right so 911 he said no no and all the americans went no no and we british went what what don't call the ambulance why ecchi no no and one guy went here in america you gotta pay ecchi he stingy over one hundred dollars dude eight one hundred dollars get an ambulance yeah biden when he went to congress he knows about the health care problem biden said i have 14 billion dollars in congress there's homelessness there's health care congress you know the priorities we have a choice between homelessness health care and genocide and ethnic cleansing no brainer we fund the ethnic cleansing makes sense problem is however that the gallup poll comes out on the 26th of october which shows that biden is behind in the polls and in particular in six swing states that just so happened to be the swing states where muslims have the deciding go georgia pennsylvania michigan michigan michigan everyone gets upset when i say michigan i'm like why do you want to be so french and pronounce ch the way the french do do you know what the french did in algeria strong with you so michigan arizona and there are two other states that way laugh and i'm serious in any case i went to uh stress borg once and you know i speak french unfortunately in any case the cologne you hangover so i thought you know i'd go in and i'd practice my french as well so i go in and this is what sometimes you get this experience when you go to finance so for example if you were to speak arabic and on arabic speaks arabic how would the arab person respond mashallah well sometimes because i remember no no to be honest i take you back arab is not respond that way because in my home town in city busied in tunisia we had a chinese guy arrive once and he walked in and he spoke the best for sahaba bahag he went into the market he went i want a bit of very poetic i would like a piece of bread and i'd like some tomatoes and whatever and muhammad in the shopkeeper sitting there with his paper and went the chinese speaks i'm muhammad come in here hey hey hey guys say it again say it again say it how you said allah sadaq allah radeem sadaq allah radeem and you're like guys have some shame what's wrong with you when i went to france i had this not not the same experience but a different one where you go and you're going to ask you to buy a croissant please can i buy a croissant please and the guy will go i speak english sorry bro like allah sir you know we'll do whatever so in those six swing states blink and biden they realized that they're behind in the polls in states where the muslims have the deciding vote now i'm aware sometimes that when i say this because muslims have been afflicted with this trauma ptsd because they fail to appreciate the victories the umma has made in the past 90 years such as breaking the hold of colonialism over much of the muslim world such as the algerians who liberated algeria the egyptians who liberated egypt kicking out the colonial powers didn't leave because they felt guilty they didn't wake up one day the french didn't wake up one day and say wow allah they'll say allah but they said that you know you know what we did to the algerians is so bad we need to leave the algerians kicked them out the umma kicked out the colonizers america could not get a military base in the region until 1991 when saddam invaded kawait he made that silly decision to invade i know everybody likes to say yeah but kawait were doing this kawait were doing that in any case saddam knew when he invaded it would give the opportunity for the americans to come in in any case and then you had the arab spring authoritarian regimes toppling many people see chaos as something that reflects a disaster for the umma chaos means that the power is not able to subjugate the other chaos means that the repressive powers are unable to fully subjugate those forces that want freedom the chaos means that the people are banging on the door to freedom and the repressive powers are struggling to shut it which is why you have all of that chaos it's a tough and turbulent process but it's better than the repressive oppressive powers when they had full power to repress the other side i would rather have a balance where freedom can win than one in which the repression is completely suffocated the freedom movement in any case i'm aware that as a result of the self defeatism and trauma of the umma i'm aware when sami says it you might not believe it so i've brought you you know sahih like traditions of journalism i'm going to bring you axios the israeli paper and i'm going to bring you political i think it's european but anyway it's a prestigious thing so it's not sami who's saying it axios said one week ago two weeks ago times a bit of a blur because all your domestic flights are more than three hours you know i couldn't believe it i on this particular trip i flew detroit to arizona three hours 56 minutes domestic flight they called it the nerve the branding is phenomenal then i flew in san diego to seattle two hours and a half which is london to tunis then i flew seattle to houston three hours or three hours 50 something again another four hour flight they call that domestic flight apparently which is longer than london to istanbul and then you fly here from dallas it's three hours and a half on southwestern half the flight is smooth half the flight is turbulence you feel like the plane is going to fall out of the air and you think what on earth possessed me to get on a plane in this place i want to go home i didn't actually say i want to go home i just just shahad alayla alhamdulillah the point is that when you look at those particular swing states axios reported and said if biden loses quote a sliver of the muslim vote in these states biden loses the election political said if biden loses 100 000 votes in michigan biden loses the state that's why biden on the 28th of october came out and said we don't want that 14 billion to help the displacement of palestinians we are against the displacement of palestinians now i thought that genocide joe was lying because i know that he lied about the beheaded babies and then the white house thought it was too great a lie they had to come out and say biden didn't mean there was a beheaded babies he was actually just repeating what netanyahu told him and then biden repeated it later on and you know may Allah guide him you know may Allah guide him and bless us with good health at that age inshallah i didn't say anything may Allah bless us with good health may Allah guide him i'm in a like versus with better state of health inshallah so biden goes to netanyahu and as a result they need to remarket and repackage the genocide and ethnic cleansing why because blinken identifies the problem blinken identifies the problem in that when he's looking at those polls he believes that those polls are not changing because the muslim nations have taken any particular position of the genocide in the beginning blinken is confused blinken says and before i say this part the views expressed once again belong to the speaker alone and do not reflect the organization they did not ask me what i would say i do not tell them what i would say so when they land in jadda please let them through the beef is between us let them do their umrah let them do their umrah let them do what a hedge and the like and whatever i know you have the concepts now in jadda i haven't said anything to them about the concepts i'm going to talk about the concepts of riyadh not jadda blinken said that these polls were falling in the polls not because the muslim states have taken any particular position blinken told netanyahu i went to saudi arabia i got a fatwa the chief imam of maca gave a fatwa he said ya ibad allah make dua for ghaza cry on your dua if you want as well to add some extra umf to it but don't talk about it because it's a fitna that might lead you to turn against your rulers so obey your rulers and obey your scholars and imam in suleyman rajhi musk in riyadh came out and said ya ibad allah we make dua for ghaza but let's not talk about issues that we know nothing about let's trust that our rulers have more information than we do so when they do nothing for ghaza and when they bring jarred cushion to give a keynote speech in middle genus he didn't actually say that part ask me but in any case that when our rulers trust that they have the information required and that they're acting accordingly because your opinions are like those of slugs and the more you talk about it the more of a burden you become on your leaders i have a turkish friend who was flying out to madina and he sent me a message i don't know why he'd send me a message before he goes to saudi but in any case stop he said sami i'm going to madina and uh i'm sure i'm sure that they're going to be talking about ghaza sami i don't think that they're going that far that they're not talking about ghaza i told him listen to aqala allah go and make dua i get to see again one day inshallah he said amin amin amin it's his turkish so he lands and he sends me the voice note of the khutbah i actually have it here for anybody interested later on he hears the word ghaza and he clicks record on his whatsapp good concentration in the khutbah inshallah the voice note says from what i heard of it is ya ibad allah we make dua that allah sends his patience on ghaza but ya ibad allah beware the rabble rouses who are using ghaza to turn you against your leaders say alhamdulillah for the stability you have here and that's because of our leaders obey your rulers obey your scholars don't talk about issues that you don't know my wife and i we run this trouble company my wife likes the idea of reconnecting the memories of the umma so we take people to different places bosnia barbade or susbekistan malaysia korea japan all these other places so she gives talks sometimes at these summits to promote the halal economy and the travel market every year she present in istanbul at the world at the world halal summit so she went this year she met a malaysian friend of ours who used to advise the malaysian government and he said to her one day over dinner he said that to in front of the group they were talking about saudi and talking about the videos and saying is sami okay is he safe is he this does he go near the embassy she said no he doesn't go anywhere near it i need to stop doing that they actually did ask that that wasn't a joke but in any case i get i don't like it when people ask that question in any case he told sumaya my wife he said tell sami that i'm going to umrah in december and i've received the whatsapp message that says that we have we have been asked by the saudi authorities not to bring kafirs not to bring free palestine stickers and not to record ourselves making i told the sumaya every time i do videos telling the umrah what bin selman is doing i get a backlash for the first two months and then apologies for the two months afterwards i'm not in the mood for a backlash at the moment come back from turkey first because erdogan wants to make peace with bin selman and also when you're on the train on the tramway please stop talking to me in arabic there are racist attacks taking place speak in the poshest english that you know you're half english they have an inferiority complex to english but they might do something to speak arabic i beg you speak to me in the poshest english that you have like the way you see in those period dramas down to nabi and these ones she said oh the husband okay she actually did may Allah guide attacks inshallah say i mean i mean that sincerely honest so when i was in sunny blue sky lovely sunshine l.a on this beautiful west coast i was at the dinner and i said we were talking about it and i said guys i'm i heard the rumor that the Saudi authorities are saying no kafirs no free Gaza stickers no whatever i said that be ridiculous if bin selman does it that's magic you know but i haven't seen any proof they were like wait wait wait wait wait wait here it is habibi and i'm going in december here is the message and i read the what's that message and it says it's with a heavy heart that we inform me that we've been told etc don't know so i did what sehmi does i went and did a podcast about and alhamdulillah i got backlash from Saudis apparently now it's being implemented the rule is being implemented not on western muslims because they're a bit too loud but on eastern muslims those who perhaps you know might listen a bit more which is why some of you will be able to go and wear your kafirs and some of you will find yourselves under pressure alhamdulillah i'd like to take some credit for it in that at least you rattle the government a bit and i like to think that if the ummah was louder about these issues i think they would reverse those policies entirely but unfortunately many of the ummah they believe that islam is about going to mecca and medina not about standing up for what's right they believe islam is about living a life where you can pray five times in the masjid and make dua even when the person next door is funding a genocide in sudan you want to go make hijra to a country where it has islamic schools even if the government of that particular country is using your presence in that country to say that we are massacring the ummah elsewhere but these muslims are saying we have a good muslim life over here let them live their muslim life while i continue to do what i want to do elsewhere let the umma be umma that stays in the masjid that never leaves the masjid that celebrates the masjid and stays in it and makes the masjid solely for ibadah let this umma be an umma where they read in the seerah that the masjid were the center of community in everything whether it's to do with the fate of the state let the umma read that khalid ibn al-waleed was demoted by umrab al khattab in the masjid let the umma read that the sahaba used to discuss the next plans in the masjid let the umma read about that celebrate it but never ever do it in the masjid let them make it so that where sahaba made the masjid the center for everything let this umma be that the masjid is mainly for ibadah and not to talk about anything else and i respect the american law i know american law is very similar to that so i'm not saying them that they should make it a center i'm just saying that the umma has become an umma sometimes where perhaps it values the rituals over the very substance of islam which is that they stand up for justice because for those americans listening there's actually an interesting point the companions of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam only a minority of them are buried in medina the majority are buried outside of medina because their interpretation of islam was to go out and stand for justice was to go out and spread the deen was to go out and take action while the umma of today wants to go back in they want to say mashallah sahaba went out but akhi and i want to go back in so it's a very strange my umma of today sometimes they read the seerah but do the opposite of what they read they read the hadith and celebrate it but do the opposite but it is what it is and maybe if you have some branding tips for me you can help me out inshallah to convince them otherwise i mean you made the handball football and that stuff so you can help me out with inshallah in any case blinken told netanyahu that we have the muslim nations i got a fatwa from abdel rahman al sudis and all of the durus in saudi are obey your ruler obey they don't talk about gaza because it's a fitna ua e gave us a statement that blamed the palestinians for what happened abdallah bin zayi tweeted i spoke to my good friend blinken two hours later ua e issued a statement that we are blaming the palestinians and then they panicked a bit when there was a backlash so they were the first to send aid to gaza and now when they got frustrated with netanyahu they were also the first to send in cnn to see what's happening in gaza because bin zayi said look listen i'm getting a lot of backlash from my umma i don't know if he considers his umma in any case i'm getting a lot of backlash from these muslims i'm getting a lot of backlash from the western muslims people are very loud about my role i want netanyahu to go i want to put him under pressure i'm going to bring cnn in in the hope that they might force netanyahu to be toppled so that another israeli that can come to power so that the muslims can get off my back and i can continue normalization without the pressure of them telling me that i have to do something so blinken when he goes to netanyahu netanyahu says what's the problem i don't understand the muslim nations netanyahu gives a speech he says we thank our friends for understanding our position his friends when america was talking about the muslim leaders he actually was he said he said he didn't say about calafiq in any case so when blinken goes and says to him blinken identifies and says the issue is not the muslim leaders the issue is 1.9 billion muslims won't stop talking about gaza 1.9 billion muslims won't stop talking about philistine which means the algorithm which used to promote certain crunchy figures and love island and khani west and his troubles with former wives and stuff like that instead now the algorithms are all promoting palestinian content blinken said before palestine was the issue limited to the muslims but now sarah dav michael smith jeremy joe and more names and then barb peter you know it's funny that barb thing i met imam tom fikini so while i'm talking to me he just said i mentioned his name a couple of times and he went yeah tom tom i was like what's wrong with it he goes it's just here they call me tam i said well let me tell you as an english person it's tom he goes whoever makes you happy bro in any case blinken said that as a result of the umma being so loud the umma refusing to talk about it the algorithm is now favoring palestinian content and that's changing people's minds because we're falling in the polls over an issue where american troops aren't even on the ground we're falling in the polls because they genuinely don't like our policy so biby biby's netanyahu's nickname may Allah never give us any similar nicknames can you imagine if they if you had like oh oh ya rabba ya rabbi please no nicknames like that not let me make a verbal mistake while I'm speaking, when someone grabs onto it and attaches to me a label that I don't like, Ya Rabbi, gul ameen, gul ameen. Those who don't say ameen, may Allah give you a nickname, astaghfirullah astaghfirullah. I'll take it back, I'll take it back. In any case, Netanyahu says to, Ben Blinken says to Netanyahu, according to Axios, according to Axios, the elevated source, that we need a new marketing strategy for genocide and ethnic cleansing. He said what's the marketing strategy? He said instead of saying we're committing genocide against these animals, why don't we send them a letter, a very nice cute letter where we tell them, listen, we're coming to bomb your home and take your land and you want to build a nice Red Sea resort on it, or Mediterranean resort on this, mangeography. Come in America, it gets muffled sometimes. We want to build a nice resort on it, but we want to give you an opportunity four hours a day to leave your house and to leave. Now, if you don't leave, we'll kill you, but we thought we're just going to be nice and give you four hours if you want to leave and we'll let you leave through a humanitarian corridor under the protection of the Israeli army. The problem is Axios reports that Netanyahu responded and said, hang on, hang on, hang on. Why have you gone from not calling for a ceasefire or a pause to now calling for a humanitarian pause? Wait a minute, wait a minute. Inna fi qalbi inna. In my heart there is something strange. I smell a plot over here. Is this Biden trying to lure me into a ceasefire like in May 2021? Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran that you think the hearts are united, but the hearts are divided. That's why when the humanitarian pause was implemented, Biden, when he came off the plane, he was asked, he said, it came late, but at least it came expressing the frustration with Netanyahu. But the point of this particular part of the story about Allah is what made blinking shift from wholehearted support to a genocide, to arguing for a humanitarian pause, to pushing for a hostage truce, to pushing for a sustainable ceasefire, and now talking about the low intensity and now offering a two month truce to Homs. Was it Saudi Arabia? No. Was it UAE? No. Was it Turkey's Erdogan, where trade between Turkey and Israel has increased apparently 30% since the start of the genocide? Because Erdogan believes he has an economic crisis because for 20 years interest rates went up and he was putting the interest rates up. And then one day he woke up, I think maybe because he's worried about his later age getting closer to Allah, he woke up one day and said that it was halal in the 20 years and now it's haram, I need to bring it back down. And he crushed the currency as a result. When he crushed the currency, Erdogan said I need another economic crisis, you know there are still the tax there, you know it was very tough election, very difficult election, and I need to take care of my economy. I've reconciled with UAE, I told them please Ta'ala, let's reconcile, please, please. And the UAE said halas 50 billion and let's reconcile together and they said halas 50 billion, we will not talk about UAE at all. They went to Saudi Crown Prince, they told him please, we're sorry about Khashoggi, we'll throw the case out, we'll throw it out of the courts. And we'll invite you to Ankara as well. And Bin Salman took advantage, if you notice when he landed in Ankara to meet Erdogan, they have this tradition when a leader comes where the general, where the soldiers they stand and the leader is supposed to say Meraba Asker, you know welcome soldiers and they go, Bin Salman the Wali Fox, he walks in instead of saying Meraba Asker, he says As-salamu alaykum and the soldiers go, because he wanted an image to show that Erdogan claims to be a sultan, but they don't even know how to respond to wa alaykum as-salam, they don't have to respond to salam wa alaykum. Very cheeky play for somebody who's just introduced alcohol to Saudi Arabia. Yeah, really like Mashallah, you know, it's in any case, the people who brought this change from no ceasefire to humanitarian pause, to hostage truce, to sustainable ceasefire, to low intensity warfare, to this offer of truce from the Israelis to Hamas, what brought it about was public opinion. And this is where I enter the tail end of the talk, because I won't go on for too long, because people have complained sometimes that there's never Q&A, because I go on for too long. So I promise this time I'll show due respect and leave it for if you have questions. They say that when there are questions, it means you didn't do a good job in addressing the points. In any case, it's an indictment whenever there are so many questions. In any case, the point is that when you look at the situation as it's unfolding today, it's true that we're seeing a genocide unfolding. It's true we're seeing an ethnic cleansing unfolding. But ya ibadallah, when you look at the ICJ ruling, do you think that Israel wanted to see an ICJ ruling like that? No. Do you think that Biden is happy that he's falling in the polls over the Palestine-Israel issue? Do you think that Israel is happy that it spent billions on a PR that the Ummah broke for free? Do you think Israel is happy that it's seeing, you know that spokesman, the one who threatened the ITV, I don't know if you've seen it. The ITV presenter says in the UK, ITV is a sophisticated channel in the United Kingdom. It's not like your channel is here in America, where you know, I can't lie to you, I see in the hotel room sometimes, and I think let me just watch American channels. Oh my God, you will not believe what happened today. It's something about Walmart or something whatever.  Gets you geared up. Oh my God, something in Fox News. Oh, and just breaking in. It's, it's a hot weather today. And I remember, I remember in in 2018 when I came to New York, I was in JFK airport. And I went to pick up a car to rent a car to drive to Washington. Because I heard road trips are really good. And also I didn't really want to fly. I don't like flying.  That ride is not really as beautiful as everyone thinks it is. This part is beautiful, like West Coast. It's lovely, especially was it the PPH1P1P? PCH, I said P-H, like it's a science thing. You know, P-H, yeah, yeah.  Your Fanta is just too orange for me to drink. You know, like I think in the, in the UK we have more stringent laws. The point is when I was in New York to give an example of the headlines, when I picked up the car and I'm walking through, I dropped my bags and I'll rush to the TV and the guards went like that. And they said, excuse me, what are you doing? And I panicked because I realized, wait, I'm in America, you can't just drop your bags like that. And I was like, KFC is run out of chicken. They said, what? I said, look, the headline is there. You know, CNN, KFC runs out of chicken. And I thought, only in America. Only in America. American dream. In any case, when you look at the fact that Biden is now concerned, and you look at Levy with the ITV channel, there's a presenter he talks to the spokesman of Israel. And he says that but it didn't all begin on October 7th, did it?  If you try to make this a serious discussion and debate about what actually happened on October 7, the reason he threatened him so publicly and not in a sophisticated way is because all of their sophistication has been broken by you. All of their ability to have this sophisticated control over the narrative has been broken by you. When I went back to the Akene podcast, because someone made a joke, these Americans, they said, he finishes the Akene podcast and picked up this very English teacup and he drank his tea. I was like, what teacup are they talking about? So I thought, let me go back and see the video, what teacup they're talking about so I can buy another one. In any case, before the Akene podcast came up, IDF Adva. So I thought I need to do Tahara. I need to. So I'm going to listen to Surah Taha, which is the Surah, his melody and his recitation when I was 16 years of ages, what really got me into the Quran when I listened to it. Before I was just praying, you know, like, if dad wasn't watching, just do a teacup.  I'm like, it's Surah Taha. It's a long Surah. I was a teenager. Don't judge me on it. But teenagers, honestly, it gives you a bit of prestige amongst your friends. I would encourage it. Anyway, and Surah is very easy to memorize. His naqmah is his melody and the like, although in recent times I've taken a great love for Sudanese maqamat when they read. You know, like in Nureen. And he holds his breath for the whole way. And you go, beautiful Sudanese naqmah. When I open Saud al-Sharim to make Tahara from seeing the IDF advert, it's like the IDF wanted to do the Bismillah for me, because it popped up before Saud al-Sharim. For those of you who know social media advertising, for those of you who know social media advertising, you'll know that in order to get an advert on things that are unrelated to the issue, you need to spend the hell of a lot of money. You need to spend a lot of money. Like I remember when I first started Facebook adverts, many years when I was trying to start the international interest to make it spread. And I'd be like, I want it to be popular in America, UK, English speaking countries, Malaysia, this place. And I would just watch the reach go like bigger and bigger and bigger. But the price go higher, higher, higher, higher. I said, I can't afford this. And then eventually you can only really afford to spread the message within your area of London. So for them to spend that much money shows that they spent billions in order to restore control over the narrative. Even the channels that bought the Palestinians, they were stunned because this generation of Palestinians are eloquent in English. They're able to present their case and they were able to push back on that, do you condemn homeless, do you condemn homeless, do you condemn homeless. Until now it's become absolutely irrelevant because everybody now is focused on the genocide. The Israelis are realizing that the ones who are moving the goalposts of the narrative are no longer the Israelis. The ones who are controlling the narrative are no longer the Israelis. The ones who are controlling the narrative are 1.9 billion Muslims, amplifying the voice of the Palestinians, responding to the call to the Palestinians. They are tweeting, they are sharing, they are doing their TikTok, they are breaking the algorithm. They are absolutely, it's so stupendously popular that the out is penetrating all the bubbles of the algorithm that it makes a girl in LA. Remember when I started, I said the West Coast, and I mean this sincerely with the greatest of respect to you, if the earth was flat this would be where the end of the earth is. Because all the world lives next to each other on the other side of the world. Like I said, England, France, Germany. You guys have to fly at least six hours before we even get to the Atlantic. In any case, the point being is that a girl in LA says she grew up in a Zionist environment, never having seen Palestinian voices, but as a result of TikTok, hafazah, Allah, wa-ra'aha, wa-rafaa, maqamaha, say Ameen because if you don't say Ameen, it says if you prefer the narrative be controlled by BBC and CNN, Allahumma, never let them control the narrative, Ya Rabb Al Alameen. A Zionist girl on TikTok says as a result of TikTok, hafazah, Allah, wa-ra'aha, wa-rafaa, maqamaha, as a result of TikTok, I finally heard Palestinian voices and she says I can't unsee what I've seen and I'm dedicating my channel now to Palestinian content to talk about Palestine. Another girl says you know what I want to understand because I've been seeing videos of Palestinians that have been amplified by the ummah of 1.9 billion that broke the algorithm and broke the bubbles of the TikTok algorithms which means that the Palestinian content reached every single handheld phone in the world. She says I want to understand, I've been watching these videos of Palestinians, they're being bombed and killed but they keep saying Hasbun Allah wa-na'im al-Waqeel, they keep saying, Inna lillahi wa-inna allahi raji'oon, they keep saying everything belongs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and we will continue to struggle and we will continue to resist. I want to know where they get their resilience from and they keep quoting these passages from the Quran so I'm going to oh use my TikTok and we're going to go through pages of the Quran together, you my audience every day we're going to do so. One week later she says la ilaha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah and I saw with Haifa Yunus at one of the conventions. People looking and looking at Gaza and while our hearts weep and our hearts are breaking and while some of us in the audacity of some of us to call the Palestinians weak when the world is so taken by their strength so taken by their resilience that the number of people entering Islam just over the past three months is phenomenal because they don't see weakness in the Palestinians. They see absolute strength and resilience and they say I want to be like those Palestinians. I want to learn the resilience of these Palestinians and they are the conclusion that they are coming to subhanallah the conclusion they are coming to why do they open the Quran because they the conclusion they come to is this resilience is not a genetic thing this resilience is a Quranic Islamic thing and that's why they enter Islam because they are searching for the resilience that the Palestinians have that they have concluded can only come from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala what a blessed people may Allah accept the shuhada that's why ya ibadallah beware when you say the ummah is weak beware when you say the ummah is in a state of weakness you might be weak and therefore you're projecting it on the ummah but the ummah has actually never been weak Ibadallah I used to believe the ummah was weak I used to believe the ummah was weak I used to sit in London in my very comfortable home hamedullah because my father MashaAllah was an activist and he established a media company later and he raised me and he taught me everything I know about politics he used to merge politics and he made it very seamless for me whenever any problem would happen he'd tell me something about hadith or about the seerah so by the time I became 20 21 years of age it was just natural to attach the seerah to everyday problems I know some people have said that that seems to be a very like unique thing or the like it's not a unique thing in my house if you're impressed with what I have to say you have not met Muhammad al-hashim al-hamdi my father who is my teacher who raised me and taught me how to do it in any case when you look at the way that they're turning towards the deen and islam the ummah has never actually been weak so when I thought the ummah was weak I went to Bosnia I read Ali-Azid Begabic's book inescapable questions and I was fascinated to discover Muslims in the heart of Europe who'd been Muslim for 700-800 years and they were ethnically Europeans and they were still holding on to Islam so a Bosnian friend of mine said I'd love to show you Bosnia let's make it a lad's trip I said lad's trip cool we rent a car and we just go in Europe what you can do is unlike here in America where you only you're in the same country and you have to drive 50 hours just to get from one coast to the other 50 hours in Europe will take you from London all the way to Riyadh and Jeddah or that kind so when you go to Bosnia you can go Bosnia Montenegro Albania Kosovo Macedonia all in the space of 10 days value for money in any case when I landed in Bosnia and I got to discover the Bosnians I finally got to hear their story based on what I read on Ali-Azid Begabic I was able to engage in some conversations some facts and I got to ask them about it and I discovered that the Bosnians they have a message in Sarajevo called the Ghazi-Huzur Bey message now sometimes when we take our groups we take them to the Ghazi-Huzur Bey message and then they go in two minutes and they come out and I realize why they go in two minutes and they come out it's because they don't know the story of Ghazi-Huzur Bey Ghazi-Huzur Bey stands in 1532 in the middle of Sarajevo and he says Allahumma I have no kids but I'm going to leave behind this Waqf this message this madrasa and this library Allah please accept it for me for Yomal Qiyamah because I don't have kids to make dua for me afterwards the Ottomans are kicked out of Bosnia in the 1600s maybe early 1700s if I get my dates wrong Allah Karib you can go and research it the point is that after the Ottomans are kicked out Islam continues in the heart of Bosnia they don't give it up proving that it was not spread by the sword the Austro-Hungarian shut down a few mosques but they don't shut down the Ghazi-Huzur Bey mosque then the Yugoslavian kingdom eventually emerges and they do a census where they identify that the Muslims are identifying as Muslims first not their ethnicity so they say this is quite problematic for our Yugoslav identity so to prevent these Muslims from organizing we're going to divide their areas into nine Banvinas nine provinces and we're going to make sure the Muslims are the minority in each of these provinces so that they are unable to organize together in 1938 under the communist regime one of the philosophers is asked to address the Muslim question the answer to the Muslim question is to shut down Muslim associations execute half of the student leaders put the rest in hard labor ban the Quran ban the manifestation of the deen ban the hijab and essentially repress the Muslim minority in Bosnia the Bosnians don't give up the Bosnians keep teaching the Quran all the Bosnians have to do to get comfort is give up La ilaha illallah Muhammad Rasulullah and go to the ballet dances and go do whatever the Yugoslav communist regime want them to do if they give up La ilaha Muhammad Rasulullah they won't be persecuted the Bosnians refuse to do so in 1980s Yugoslavia collapses Bosnia is formed in 1988-1989 as Yugoslavia collapses the Muslims form their own state and Aliya Izid Begavic says because his tolerance comes from Islam not from white supremacists Europe which used to massacre the Jews or the like we are going to establish a nation where all religions live together and the Muslims will be the majority the Serbs invade and they commit a genocide and they commit an ethnic cleansing 1995 the Muslims are still in Bosnia and even today Islam is still preserved the Ghazi Huzur Bay Mosque remains standing since 1532 the Ummah has never been weak you look at Turkey Ataturk comes to power imposes secularism and tells the military to do a coup on everybody who threatens to re-islamize the Turkish state they ban the printing of the Quran they execute scholars they imprison the others they turf the others they massacre the Kurds who come to revolt because they want to re-establish Islam and as a result Adnan Mandiris eventually comes to power in 1960s restores the Adhan they do a military coup in 1980 they do a military coup again in 1997 Erbakan comes to power they do a coup again why? because despite the ban on Hijab despite the ban on Quran despite the ban on Hadith despite the ban on women having education if they wear hijab the Muslims refuse to give up La ilaha'Allah Muhammad Rasulullah even though if they give it up they will live a life of comfort they say we would rather struggle they give up La ilaha'Allah Muhammad Rasulullah 1997 Erbakan comes to power there's a coup and then 2003 they break the system completely they deliver Erdogan to power Turkey is unrecognizable from the days of Ataturk because now it's haven for the Muslims the Ummah has never actually been weak rather it is the Ummah has been unappreciative of the fact that Allah decides the outcome as he wishes how he wishes and when he wishes and therefore the Ummah is dissatisfied with the way that Allah conducts his own affairs and therefore they believe if it's not an outcome that they want there must be something horribly wrong with it that's why Ya'ibah the Allah when you look at the impact that you've had on Ghazan, Palestine let's be brutally honest here the ones who forced Biden to buckle is you the one who made Macron call for a ceasefire is you the one who made the deputy prime minister of Belgium call for sanctions against Israel is you the one that made it possible for the ICJ to hear the case is you the one who made it impossible for Biden to rescue Israel from the ICJ is you the one who made the CNN presenter apologize for giving 24-hour coverage to unsubstantiated allegations of beheaded babies was you I asked the elders have you ever seen the media presenter apologize for their coverage of Ghazan, Palestine never in the space of three months we saw BBC, CNN and these others apologize for their coverage do you think they apologize because Biden asked them do you think they apologize because Netanyahu said guys I know I'm coming get genocide but be fair and you meet the coverage they apologize because they receive such backlash on social media that they got concerned by how many people were told by Ghazan, Palestine and therefore they decided that they needed to apologize in order to rescue themselves moving forward now Ya'ibah the Allah I said this is where I wrap up 25 minutes ago somebody made a joke that when Sami says it he's going to talk for another 50 minutes I promise 5 minutes and I'm done moving forward Ya'ibah the Allah Biden was asked are you concerned that you're going to lose the Muslim vote he said why should I worry the other side is Trump he wants to put a Muslim ban because Biden believes that the comfort of the West Coast is so valuable and so comfortable and I've seen your houses Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahmanir Rahim may Allah increase you and increase you in the resources that you have I confess that when I went home to London and I entered the house and my family greeted me Sumea said to me what's wrong you look like I'm not happy to be home she goes then what's wrong I thought I feel claustrophobic everything feels so tight in London Biden believes that the comforts that you enjoy are such that you will not sacrifice them at all to punish him for a genocide Biden believes that for you to see Trump on TV says horrible things is something is a scenario that is so horrible for you that you will forgive Biden for the genocide the reason why I put it that way is not to mock you in any way whatsoever it's mainly to gaslight you in a Moshe black male you know it's not that it's partly that but it's not that you know you can cut that out later any case the point that I'm saying is this let's suppose the worst case scenario happens you know the worst case scenario is genocide you'll get the second time but in any case let's suppose the second worst case scenario happens which is Trump comes to power hey but Allah let's do a comparison here is Trump going to send somebody to seize your home and give it to a white supremacist is Trump going to deploy the army to commit a genocide against you is Trump going to oppose the Muslim ban and make it so you can't see Sami for four years likely but don't miss me too much I promise I'll come after four years and I won't be too upset about it either even though I might miss America but I've seen nearly all of it now I've been through I think I've been to nearly every single state I'm probably more American than most of you here to be honest like you know masha'Allah I've driven across masha'Allah and you know I've been to Mississippi and Tennessee and New York and you know I've been to California and Seattle you know Seattle was a very interesting experience I have to say I didn't realize it was the world capital of America my goodness they made it very clear they made it very clear masha'Allah yeah but it's a very beautiful city but in my opinion one of the most beautiful cities America I've been to like masha'Allah even though it was raining but I don't mind the rain because I'm from London like I said five days a summer I feel it was beautiful Seattle I think everybody should visit it I don't know about living there but visit it yeah the point is that when you look at the worst thing that Trump will do it reminds me a lot of I have my brother Yusuf he's a businessman in Tokyo and masha'Allah is a successful one speaks Japanese fluent very strange experience when you go to Tokyo and he's next to you people like you I told him Yusuf I want to have halal ramen but I want to have Japanese food I don't want this fob off you know he said okay we'll go Japanese restaurant and we'll get ramen and we'll go get halal ramen so he's ordering for me you know Nandi oh so this guy do you want ketchup with that yeah I'll have ketchup I lied to him Yusuf that wasn't Japanese like that wasn't it's a very so anyway Yusuf one day we were sitting talking to each other and I said to him yeah Yusuf you know the life of this world it's not all about money like there's more to life than money he told me Sami Wallahi you're right I promise I accept that you're right but I would rather cry in a Mercedes than your Toyota Yaris and I feel like when with this Trump conundrum it's very similar to that because the reality is this here Ibad Allah the fact that the Democrats believe that genocide that genocide is not important enough to you to make you do something to punish genocide Joe shows you how little they regard you the fact that he's still more worried about the Zionist bloc vote than losing the Muslim vote the fact that the Democrats are saying that the Muslims will forget by November shows you how much they hold you in this day now right now I assume sometimes Congress people they come to see you right now here's how I imagine they do it usually the Congress people don't actually research Islam before they come because in history only two minorities have ever demonstrated an ability to punish candidates one is the Zionist and the other is the Black Caucasus Muslims have never really punished anyone Muslims have delivered candidates like they delivered Bush in Florida but they've never really punished candidates which is why when you tend to vote for someone they tend to betray you very soon afterwards that's the difference this is the first time in American history where the Muslims have a chance to show their ability to punish a candidate this is the first time that the Muslims have the ability to punish a sitting U.S. president now right now when the congressperson comes to you because you never punished anyone they don't do the research beforehand they do the research in the car they're driving towards the masjid and they will say to their assistant I want to wow these Muslim audiences what can I say to wow them and the secretary will go things Muslims do they got a they got a greeting it's Salamu Alaykum Salamu Alaykum all right Salamu Alaykum everybody and everybody goes it's actually As-salamu Alaykum but you know but As-salamu Alaykum is fine or if he comes to you in Eid he'll be like Mubarak Eid and you'll be like it's Eid Mubarak but thank you so much for coming thank you for giving us the time of day thank you so much for coming I'm not saying that's what you guys do here I'm not saying that I'm not saying that I'm saying I've seen masjid do it other masjid that's when you guys don't have the ability to punish now I reckon I reckon I reckon and and hear me out on this I reckon that if Muslims punish a sitting U.S. president and the views expressed are the speakers or I'm going back to London I hope you let me through the border again but I promise it's just my opinion they and it has nothing to do with the organization they are innocent I'm the I reckon that if Muslims punished a sitting U.S. president I reckon that when I see a live stream of you guys praying tarawih prayers next year I'll find the congressperson praying in the back I reckon that the next time the congressperson comes to this masjid he will have done his research in such a way that he will stand before you like this and he will say and everybody we got a tough you know ride ahead and you know we got to stay together for our causes and our principles because as the prophet Muhammad said in the malamal biniyari and for those and genuinely and another one might come and say guys the road ahead is tough it's tough the road ahead but as the prophet Muhammad would say in the mal usri usra it's so tough very much possible didn't biden say inshallah and everybody went wild didn't biden say inshallah and everybody went wild where do you think he learned inshallah from because they told them Muslims like these references but you're not important enough for him to learn beyond inshallah but if you punish a sitting U.S. president if you show the ability to punish the congressperson will fear that you have the ability to punish and therefore he needs to take you seriously but if a sitting U.S. president commits a genocide and wins the second time because the muslims say that yeah they committed a genocide but and i know these imams are going to emerge very soon not the imams here i don't know what they think they didn't tell me and these are my views and nobody else's but you'll get some wise guys who come later on before september they'll say yeah ibadallah be calm and think carefully yes there was a genocide but we're making an application for parking for the masjid yeah ibadallah think carefully yes they committed a genocide but i won't be invited to the white house iftar yeah ibadallah yes they committed a genocide but uh you be like but what but uh but you know but you know what let's think calmly not emotionally why are muslims so emotional a woman in atlanta to be a bit serious she stood up after i gave a talk in atlanta after i'd finished and she said to me sammy you know you're here at the wrong time i thought what do you mean you're here at the wrong time she said to me all of these people here will forget by september they need somebody to remind them because when the fever of the genocide leaves people will start to look and say do i really want to suffer four years of trump but yeah ibadallah there is a wonderful tweet that i saw by an american sudanese activist called hind makki where she said so kamala harris gave a video where she said we're launching the first campaign to counter islamophobia Allah Allah do you think that she's doing it because she actually feels for you she's doing it because the democrats got together and they said that these musis are angry like they're really no i'm scolding musis because they won't give you the respect to call you marzlans i'm actually being serious i don't know what's wrong with these people they're saying let's throw them a bone that they can chew on and then they sent an email out trump wants to put the muslim ban but we stand against it so i struggled for a bit i was wrecking my brains how do i address this how do i address this how do i address this not because i have any involvement i'm a uk citizen i'll be leaving inshallah for whatever and i'd like to visit america again if you know inshallah i know i didn't plead in the embassy but i've grown to love america so you know i'd like the opportunity to come back and try the food seen in houston and the food trucks you know new york skyline is nice when you go in it's not so great but the skyline is lovely inshallah and i'd love to come to sunny california in the winter inshallah with the lovely sunshine and the pacific ocean and the beach and the halal areas are really nice the point is that she put the tweet out after they sent an email saying trump wants to put muslim ban and she said i want to inform the democrats that we muslims survived four years of trump 20 000 palestinians did not survive four years of biden hey badallah let me put it to you quite bluntly you have two bad choices in november unless allah subhanahu wa ta'ala intervenes and does something because allah is always in charge of affairs i'm only analyzing based on what's in front of me but i'm aware allah can change the situation as he wishes but supposing that your choices in november are between trump and biden you are regardless of who wins you're in for a tough four years but the only choice that you really have in november is this you can live four years with dignity in that you punish the sitting u.s president and you show the world that if they commit a genocide there's no way they can win a second term because all muslims are ready to struggle and ready to be in discomfort for the sake of their brethren and their umma on the other side of the world that they will never give up phallistine they will never give up qaza they will never give up their brothers and sisters and they will get their justice if the muslim leaders won't do it the muslims of america will do it and they will do it and a rabba raza will come from london and plead with them and beg them to do it as well you can choose to live those four years with the dignity with the dignity that you punish the sitting u.s president and you don't care about the consequences or you can live those four years in humiliation where biden wins the second term because you chose not to punish him and he spends four years not giving you the time of day because he'll laugh in the white house and he'll say can you believe that we killed 20 000 of their brethren and they still voted blue they still voted for me and one guy would be like i'm telling you these muslims have no dignity they have no self-respect and somebody would say don't you think we should at least visit them why visit them why go to them and say they'll come knocking on our door they came to us after we committed a genocide and even when you go visit them on the door they'll be like come back tomorrow and then the Zionists who walk in they're like please please come in you are relevant these guys have no self-respect these are relevant this is what i meant by gas lighting in a mushy black man now i'm not gas lighting you i'm not emotionally blackmailing you even though you may feel it is that way and if you feel it's that way maybe inshallah you'll think about why you feel that way even though i'm not doing it in the way perhaps that i am doing it but what i'm saying ya ibadallah is this the data shows that muslims have the potential to have the deciding vote and i as somebody from london am envious of you because all the polls in london show in the uk show that the opposition party which also supported the genocide is set to win a landslide election now it may not be the case because only Allah knows the ghaib i thought the brexit vote would be very tight sorry i thought the brexit vote would be a landslide in favor of staying in the e-u and i was so convinced of it i didn't even go to vote and then i woke up one day i woke up the next day and i said inna lillahi wa inna layha rajion open board this is going to be finished soon because a bunch of racists they put some billboards showing hitler-esque imagery i should have gone and voted so i'm telling you as a person who made the mistake yeah ibadullah i don't have the ability to make the difference in the uk but wallahi you have the ability to make a difference wallahi you have the ability to do something you have the ability to make us proud you have the ability to deliver justice you have the ability to show the world that no one can commit a genocide and win a second time Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala it is as if he could have chosen any state in america to be the deciding state it just so happens that the swing states that will make the difference happen to be the states where the muslims have the deciding vote biden knows this so much that he's been looking for a mosque in in messaged in michigan michigan in order to try to find a mosque that will receive him but who's seen godfather here the film godfather right you know that scene towards the end where marlon brando don colione tells his son michael when they're fighting with the barzines and he says the friend the friend who brings the message from the other side he says that's the that's the traitor the masjid that i'm not saying it i'm just saying just food for thought popular references cultural references you know just to show i'm a bit hip as well you know to be honest like the reason why i know a lot of these new like you know iggy is ailia nikki minhaj you know nikki minhaja nikki minhaj the reason why i know all of them to be honest is not because i knew them growing up it's because bin selman introduced me to them no really really i did not imagine the horror when my father said sami bin selman has invited this is he a galia is he galia is he galia is he galia i told him who's that so we googled it and we actually typed in is he a galia instead of iggy he said ikhwani don't search it and don't search it with your father either don't do it don't the idea that the land of the two holi must introduce me to that sarah is the most horrifying thing i think i can i can think and when i thought maybe that maybe because her first performance the trousers ripped so she had to be taken off stage so i thought maybe you know there would be some like oh did someone just google it assistant don't google it i thought you googled it la hawla put your phones away the point is that i thought that after the first performance when her trousers ripped that maybe they will do you know because she knows she did her performance bow down to the goddess you know bring your prophets and baths but then she tweeted afterwards and said you know that they invited me again to perform and you know and even for those who want to understand why i'm so upset about saudi on the night that israel began its ground invasion they cut off the internet on the other day began his ground invasion it was a saturday on that saturday night she curled the riyadh dancing now there's a joke i've been making also be a semester so i won't make it yeah yeah yeah so it's about to do the lyrics of a song in any case which i didn't know until been cement introduced me you know the point is yeah ibad allah to end on this point even though now it's been 40 minutes since i said that but i promise this this is where because notice i didn't say i promise i'll finish on this point i said i will because somebody a sheikh told me yes sammy if you're gonna keep saying it with sincerity just don't say i promise so you don't have to kafar afterwards and i said yallah khalas so this time i promise i'll finish on this point ibad allah what you choose to do with your vote is your choice the reality is that we saw a genocide live streamed we saw an ethnic cleansing live streamed and now the choice before you is whether you want to go down in history because historians will write whether you want to go down in history as the people who toppled genocide joe and punished the genocide or a people who were so detached from the umma and so happy with the comfort that you have that you thought you know what yes he punished the genocide but we were of real politic we were political thinkers who thought long term we thought 20 000 Palestinians but we were smart we still voted for biden because we want to build influence and leverage like we've been doing for 30 years that proved absolutely useless when it came to stopping this genocide we went to all the white house iftars and we made the links we made the contacts we were there in the circles of power because if we're not on the table we're on the menu we went to them and we said we 30 years we had no leverage but 10 years more after the genocide this would be the turning point where we can have leverage where next time we can say to the president please your raiz please your prince please please don't do genocide please listen you guys vote for us anyway please I need to give me something to take back to my community take them that Trump wants to do the muslim ban and that will satisfy them can I have a bit more please tell him that we'll do a counter islamophobia initiative thank you thank you master thank you you can tell how upset how upset I am how upset and how angry I am that there are some in this community who's still asking what if when it is put before them let's punish genocide Joe and they reply and say what if shame shame and that 20,000 Palestinians can be killed and you are in a position to punish genocide Joe and still some members of the community say what if we are an umma of justice we are an umma that stands for justice and we are umma ready to struggle for justice and November inshallah you will show that to the world and when genocide Joe inshallah is toppled the views expressed our mind I'm just giving them a scenario here when genocide Joe is punished and I received the messages bro did you see it these muslims they did it these american muslims that we all thought were liberal and pro-gbt because there's a speaker who introduced us to them and convinced us that you were all of pro-gbt in any case and then I discovered in America that you went in any case Sami these the muslims the american muslims they did it they did it what did they do what did they do they toppled genocide Joe and everybody will say it's because of the muslim vote and the world will say that biden the president of the united states of america messed up so badly that israel is on trial for genocide and he lost the second time and the muslims are celebrating and the muslims are shouting and saying that we toppled genocide Joe and we toppled him for palestine because yeah genocide Joe you try to erase palestine we kept it alive we kept moving for palestine and we will tell you loud and clear when they bring those ballot boxes i'm gonna watch that news reporter and it appears that many ballots on the ballot box didn't even have a cannon on them they said they wrote free palestine and one person we have a right it said from the river to the sea palestine will be free and then everybody will repeat it like hashtag will become like a meme and i will say allahumma make me like those american muslims allahumma celebrate those american muslims and lift them and celebrate them but if genocide Joe wins because the muslims choose not to punish him we'll be like hamdulillah we're not like those humiliated american muslims ya rabba may allah help them deal with them barak allahu fiqam and apologies for taking two locks and i'm all right i'm fine like i can stay as long as you want but it's up to you guys whenever you guys are tired bismillah i'm fine hamdulillah not just the ballot box you know if you really organize well and i don't know if you'll be able to do this not because it's not possible but because i don't know if the umma will be able to organize property for this like i mean the americans here you know there's a way you can punish biden at the presidential election and deny trump the house but you can punish biden in the presidential election make sure he loses and you can deny trump control of the house which would require you to identify the areas where you can actually make a difference i was shocked to discover that there are some areas where the candidate in the last election won by like 2000 votes in an area with 10 000 registered muslims of which only 2000 muslims went to vote which means the 8 000 muslims who didn't vote could have tipped the favor one way or the other now for these people i always say that you know there's an aya in the quran so sometimes when you find the humiliated people there's a reason they've been humiliated and often it's because Allah gave them the ability to do something to make change and they chose not to deploy that power to make change that's why when Allah told mus aley salam to tell his people to go to enter the area to enter where jerusalem is and they said well we won't go because there's a powerful people there the odds are against us the world is against us we can't do it and he said Allah has given you the order and they replied sarcastically mocking him they said if Allah has said it go you and your lord and fight we'll be here waiting and we'll see what happens and Allah says he forbade them from entering it for 40 years because there are people who didn't deserve to do it the reason why i'm saying that is because there is a way to punish biden in the presidential election and a way to mobilize muslims and those people of conscience who are rallying for fallistine those jewish groups that shut down congress that went into sitting in congress the african americans who are turning away from israel all these groups there's a way you can identify because the muslim at the end of the day is not democrat or republican the muslim votes based on the causes the muslim mobilizes based on causes ali bin abit talib said that we don't judge causes based on who stands with them we judge men and women based on whether they stand with just causes and i noticed earlier when he said the men women and over there and i thought it's very reflective america you know pronouns he she they but in any case i just thought it was quite funny you just kind of like so in any case the point here being is that if you really mobilize if you really calculate the data you could viably from february to march gather the data that you need to identify the areas in california where you can make a difference and there are some areas where you actually can i've seen some of the numbers then you can spend march till june gathering the resources and mashallah you guys have a lot of those resources then you can spend june july august training your communication strategies or the like your hashtags get your accounts ready or the like then september information blitz to remind an umma that might forget that a genocide took place earlier in the year and then by november you're ready the reality is designers already have a plan like this already said they know what they're doing they know where they're going they know the message they're doing they know the areas where they're contesting and they know where they're going to punish the muslims are ready to do something but they do not have the strategy yet to be able to do it about the law having will is not enough you need to move also and mobilize which is why Allah swt said that when my believers take one step towards me i take 10 towards them if they walk towards me i come running the reason why is Allah is emphasizing the idea of taking the action in order to mobilize how many of you know areas where you can contest and you can actually make a difference in california and this is where i give brother a bit of a dark message hey brother Allah swt sometimes he gives opportunities but that doesn't mean you will take those opportunities the fact that you have the chance to punish by them doesn't mean you will because to take that chance you need to move, act, mobilize and struggle you need to give from your time to volunteer you need to give from your money to sponsor those where you might say i went to for example to some places where they said semi our state is not a swing state it's dead set going to vote by them and one of them stood up and said but i have an idea semi i said what's your idea he said we're an affluent community in this particular city this is not california it's another city he goes we can gather resources to send 12, 20, 30, 40 people to help the brothers in michigan or to help those in arizona where it's a swing state we can pool our resources the way Zionists do to push for teams to do so tech guys from san francisco said we'd be willing to go fly out to these other places to help them with their tech campaigns the local tech campaigns because i don't know how to make an app but i do know that people are willing to entertain this i remember after atlanta when i spoke and the reason why i say atlanta i was so happy to speak an actual swing state not that i'm doing anything in this country everything within the law a man of 75 years of age came to me and said to me semi look Elon musk has blocked my twitter account and he said we have to spend your account for three days because we think you're a bot i told him haji what happened he said i never had social media but i saw your video and you said retweet like and it all makes a difference so i asked my grandson to set me an account on twitter tiktok and instagram but i don't know how to use it so on the tiktok on the twitter i was just retweeting and liking everything that the palestinians were doing like you said but now they've blocked me i told him about haji can i just ask a question he said what i told him did you actually tweet though he goes why would i tweet you said just retweet and like i said yeah but haji like you got a retweet you got a tweet so they know you're a person and then do the retweeting he goes well what do i tweet i have nothing to say i don't know why don't you just write in the morning good morning and in the evening good night the reason why i tell you this story is to show you yaya badallah do we have a strategy to simplify the information to such an extent that those who are desperate to do something for falestine are able to do it some people don't need the complicated strategy some people just need simple instructions on what to do those of you who are involved in tech i'm in california there's a lot of tech guys right i've seen other minority groups set up apps where all you have to do is put your postcode or zip code as you guys call it here put your zip code and it gives you the details exactly of who was pro ceasefire and who was against ceasefire and what candidate most people are going towards tech guys have you got the information yet to do an app for it activists have you given the information to the tech guys youtubers tiktok social media people have you got the information so you can break it down so we can retweet and share those one minute two minute clips so we can inform the community no no and no next question i think when it comes to the first question with regards to Saudi Arabia mufti taqi usmani i've heard they're saying that he gave he said that if those of you thinking of doing umrah you should give that money to ghaza instead when some people have suggested that they should boycott umrah the reason why i'm against it is for two reasons the first is the prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam wanted to do umrah when mecca was under Quraish albeit there was a political reason for it as well which is to show that they were committed to performing the religious ritual rights and asserting they claim to mecca when Quraish were involved in mecca nevertheless i think that's also a precedent that we do that umrah continues regardless the second reason why i'm against boycotting umrah it's not a hard position i'm not saying against in the sense that i'm fully convinced but i'm just thinking out loud here now for those of you who actually follow football football someone said soccer although i read someone told me recently that soccer actually came from the british it's it's from the abbreviation so the british are the ones who misguided you and then you know led you astray but i not but also i do realize you americans are too quick with abbreviations america is all abbreviations brother are you going to syvp listen you know the organization wmp and you know this and i'm like i don't i can't follow this conversation i just give the proper names yajaman in any case in football the ball on door winner last year which is the best player in the world was an alderian kareem benzima lovely lovely player mashaAllah majestic elegant in the way that he plays so kareem benzima the saudis made him a lucrative offer and he went to move to Saudi Arabia but he didn't move to riyadh to al-hilal he moved to jadda and he specifically said if i moved to saudi i need to move to jadda then he gave an interview to the athletic because for me a lot of people say semi what do you read to keep up today i'll be honest with you at breakfast i read the football gossip about who's moving where and who's going whatever and i read the athletic and i read it in depth like i love football when i got married i said to my wife yasumeya look saraha yani alhamdulillah i don't have any of these like vices that you know you should be worried about this football is sacred yani and if there's a if there's a match tonight or or champions league or asinullah playing or the like i told the please and i'm not asking anything from you but in those moments just give me my space please because asinu tend to lose quite often you know like in any case kareem benzema when he went to jeddah he gave an interview to the athletic and they asked him why did he move to jeddah he said because i'm muslim and i wanted to be close to mecca and the bin san man twitter army were so upset they were so angry they said what does it mean coming to jeddah for mecca is all south he has his mecca medina somebody sit up benzema why we're spending so much money to bring him here and they went nala when i saw her angry there was in aljera we have a concept called skara now skara means that you know when you have somebody who's stronger than you that you can't be but you've discovered something that when you do it really annoys them so for example when your older brother hits you i don't have an older brother i was the older brother but i didn't do the hitting i just realized i put myself no in any case but let's say for example an older brother is hitting the younger sibling and you know the guy and the other sibling goes you're stupid don't call me stupid you're dumb no don't call me dumb but you know it hurts them so you keep doing it skara fih because it annoys them my conclusion was that because bin selman's people was so upset that benzema went to jadda for mecca madina because more people go to mecca madina than they go to egiz aliyah's raves i think people should continue going to umrah skara fih bin selman like skara so that bin selman no matter how much he does vision 2030 he cannot get rid of the islamic identity of saudi arabia he can build whatever projects he wants whatever cities he wants saudiya will always be the land of the two holy mosques whatever even if he decides to change the history from 1744 to 1727 and he does a new emblem where he says saudi is represented by the logo of a horse the logo of a suga market the logo of a date and the logo of whatever and a flag that has nothing on it even when he does all of that the muslims remind him so i think that with saudiya in terms that that's in that particular case i'm not sure that it's keen to boycott them you mentioned the issue of being silent on saudi arabia and i will give you a personal answer while i would like the umma to be loud about bin selman's deismization process on saudi arabia one of the things that i'm not sure about is whether my way of going about it was the right way which is to be loud about saudi arabia and talk about it because i can't lie to you i'm the kind of guy on my facebook or instagram when i see anyone put a picture of the kaaba i do snooze for 30 days when i see anybody post a picture i've landed in makkah like to go and do amal or the like i do snooze this account for 30 days when i see people taking pictures i'm in the kaaba Allah has given me the blessing i'm not the person who says mashaAllah i'm a person who does snooze for 30 days it hurts me that people can go and i can't go it hurts that when my saudi friends who love me sincerely they come to london they won't have coffee because they say in bin selman's era you can be guilty by association i don't know if i want the umma to have this particular pain wallahi if i had known in 2014 that that would be the final time that i would pray in the harameen for that long period of time it's been almost 10 years if i had known i wouldn't have prayed fajr in the hotel i would have prayed it in the masjid if i had known that i would not that i would get to a stage where i don't even go over the airspace they want to fly me to australia i don't know transit in any golf state not even qata no transit i would rather fly to tokyo and go down or fly to california and then cross the sea i don't know if anybody in the umma should go through that i'm trying to think of a better way to apply pressure on saudi arabia and unfortunately i'm not the most intelligent individual i do i can't think of a better way to do it i think maybe there are better battles to start with such as imran khan who is in prison in pakistan for example imran khan is in prison for the only reason is that they think he will win the next election and that he will have the power of the people to support him and that's such a horrible crime in pakistan that they put him in prison now i think that if the umma was loud about imran khan i think they can get him released in prison and i tell you why when imran khan was toppled in a vote of no confidence i had never spoken about pakistan before i was like whatever like pakistan pakistan india cricket match they call it a sport i don't know why it's a sport but in any case i know the english made it who is a wise guy wants to say it but i think the english made it just because you know they didn't want to exert too much effort oh i dare say let's bowl the board and the person goes i dare say that's a six it's not like football run run in any case when imran khan was toppled in a vote of no confidence i got a phone call from the south africa broadcasting center and they said to me samy we want to do an interview give what happened in imran khan i told them guys like i can give you numbers of pakistani analysts they said no no no we want you i said guys like i honestly like i don't think it's my position to talk about pakistan they said no no no we want you i said khala say Allah now i was like who's gonna watch it anyway i respect south africa broadcasting center but i don't think it's gonna go viral so i gave my opinion he's been toppled because he wanted to suggest a successor for the chief of staff and the intelligence and they were so horrified that the democratic elected prime minister would even think for a second that he has the power to tell the establishment to do anything somebody from pti cut the clip and it went viral like online and then i got establishment people calling me telling me stay out of pakistan's business and then i saw pakistani sharing the video and i saw establishment getting upset and as a north african whose blood can be a bit hot tempered sometimes i said given that they're upset by it and given they're telling me not to do it i decided to keep talking about imran khan scarafihim i believe that if the umma rose about imran khan they can get him released some people they tell me yeah but same we don't know the internal politics maybe you know some people are saying because of the economic policies or politics i'll tell him guys if imran khan was toppled because of his internal politics fine but he wasn't he was toppled only because they think he's going to win the next election and he said he let's suppose because of the plot he could do the election and let him lose the election and khalas will all be quiet but this umma isn't an umma that stands for the rest of its body it stands for phallesteem because Allah gave it special status in the quran but many Muslims don't know that the bosnians are under pressure from the sabians who are threatening another war some muslim celebrated when russia invaded ukraine they said multi-polar world putin i was in sarajevo when i was in sarajevo when putin invaded they said if putin enters Kiev in two weeks the serbs will invade and try to commit another genocide against us bosnians sammy explained to us why this umma is jahla and doesn't understand our situation here in bosnia i said wallahi jahla please forgive them may Allah guide them how many of you know that Uzbekistan is now shaking off the chains of soviet Russia and putin is so upset that Erdogan is encouraging it that the putin is trying to send more troops now to some of these former soviet states in order to warn them not to re-islamize and to stay on the course on soviet russia but the reason being is that these states i believe that more muslims are going to these countries which gives them an opportunity to re-islamize and if more muslim money is poured into these economies they can liberate themselves from russia but instead you choose to go to ony morocco dubai melasia and what's the other place turkey because they're safe places so when you say silence about bin selman i think there are battles that are worth fighting at this moment in time such as imran khan or the like and to raise awareness and to and everybody should be tweeting hashtag imran khan just do it randomly it's car just trust me on it but i think with saudi arabia on a personal front and this is why when students they come and they say i want to do what you do like talk about politics i tell them ahi i don't think you do you know i don't think you want to condemn yourself to you know being shut out for many of these muslim nations and then once your friends go back and forth and put pictures up about it having said that and i finish on this point there's nothing that frightens bin selman more than english-speaking muslims talking about saudi arabia because english-speaking muslims affect his image in the capitals that he wants to impress and english-speaking muslims for those who don't know if you look at the statistics of the largest populations on earth english-speaking muslims are the fifth largest population on earth the number one population is china to no the number one population is muslims 2. something billion then it's china 1. something billion then it's india 1. something billion then i think it's the us 360 million and then it's english-speaking muslims 330 million that's america europe bits of north africa middle east malaysia indonesia australia and india english-speaking muslims are the fifth largest population on earth if english-speaking muslims raise the awareness for issues to do with the umma everywhere collectively can you imagine the impact they would have but unfortunately the umma doesn't pay attention to its memories it hasn't reconnected its memories and that's why i argue that the greatest tragedy of this umma when it comes to colonization wasn't the physical colonization it was the way colonization ripped the limbs of its umma so that we no longer paid attention to the affairs of each other where we started respecting the borders that were imposed on us by saying we won't talk about issues that are outside of these borders whereas you read ibn-u-khaldu and ibn-u-kafeer and these old scholars that you celebrate and they're talking about politics from Morocco all the way to Jakarta and beyond as if they as if it's just one place as if it's just normal for a muslim to know about these affairs and some people will say how do i reconnect with those memories in my opinion you reconnect with those memories by going out to those countries many of you will say you haven't been to Bosnia but you've been to Switzerland Bosnia is Switzerland's views but all halal and cheaper but because you're not connected to the Bosnian community you decided to put your money in an economy that hates you instead of an economy that desperately needs you and some of you might be thinking Sami like you're giving us these little like whatever like examples that kind of thing I'll tell you an interesting story and I promise that I'll hand over here you know sometimes a shape a shape youth current and please tolerate me just just for this particular I'm aware sometimes you know some of my my family sometimes they say Sami he goes through the gears one first gear and then he goes straight to fifth gear when we so we have like three four itineraries for Bosnia so eventually the tourism board reached out to us and they said to us you do trips to Bosnia but you only do Mosta and Sarajevo and everything in between why don't you do beyond like Western Bosnia we said we don't have the resources to go and explore it they said we'll pay for you to go and explore Western Bosnia we'll go all those thousand kilometers and go and explore it we said okay fine they sent the itinerary they included a city called Banyaluqa Banyaluqa for those who don't know in 1993 had 18 massages the ethnocentric Serbs that committed the genocide destroyed all 18 mosques turned the ruins into garbage dumps and then when the guy who smelled got too badly they made it into parking lots so that they could say that we're always stepping on Islam and that we won here when I saw it on the list I told my wife I told her over my dead body I'm going Banyaluqa I'm not going no way I'm not betraying my Bosnian brothers and sisters by God I read about it I read Ali it's a big of itchers book I know the Bosnian history I'm not going she told me she be quiet he can hear you I said I'm not going I'm not going no no no she told me let's just go see it and then the guy heard me he said Sammy let's just go see it just have a look at it we won't stay the night I'm not going Banyaluqa Sammy let's go see it I'm not going Banyaluqa and then my wife as all wives do put her foot down we'll go in and I was like Staghfirullah Staghfirullah so we're driving and for those who don't know Bosnia Bosnia basically the roads are literally up a mountain down a mountain up a mountain down a there's a joke they say in Bosnia they say if Allah I end Bosnia it would be the size of the United States so on the way going to Banyaluqa I'm going Staghfirullah Staghfirullah Staghfirullah Allah I'm a traitor I'm so weak Staghfirullah I'm going Banyaluqa and then we go around the place and then we see Banyaluqa it starts to appear first thing you see is a minaret we stop by the Ferhadiyah Masjid we walk in the Imam comes out and I do what Sammy does he puts his foot in it I go in I go the Imam says salamu alaykum I was like Imam what are you doing here? he said what do you mean what am I doing here? he says she says Banyaluqa she says okay and where did this come from? he says in 2002 he was 22 years old the Bosnian community the Muslims their hearts were broken that the Masjid in Banyaluqa had been destroyed and they felt that the Mladic and Karatsic who committed the genocide could claim that they achieve their aims by kicking out Islam from Banyaluqa so with their limited resources because they're not a rich economy they gathered money together pulled money together to send this Imam of 22 years of age to Banyaluqa with a quest to rebuild the 18th Masjid I said to him but how did they let you do it? he said they didn't initially the local government because they created a semi-autonomous area in northern Bosnia called Republic of Serbska he said so one Bosnian had an idea he said why don't we go to UNESCO and we asked what are the conditions to protect the Masjid under UNESCO privilege UNESCO conditions UNESCO said 90% have to be original materials look at my umma they gather the money to buy the parking lots they dig up the parking lots they dig up the original materials UNESCO says it has to rebuild as it was before they rebuild the Masjid as it was before they go to Turkey they find the original plans and they go and they rebuild the Masjid they have rebuilt 17 of the 18 they built a madras along Sa'de and I said to him what made you go to do all of this and I'm sitting in the Masjid going wallah ma jahl how I don't have foresight I don't have whatever look at these people these are heroes of the umma the umma is not weak I'm weak the umma is not jahl I'm a jahl the umma is brave and strong I'm the one who's weak I'm pathetic I said and he said to me the imam he looks at me and he goes to me Mladic and Karasid said they would kick Islam out of Banyaluka Sami we are here they will never turn off the light of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala I told them wallah I'll bring people to Banyaluka I will bring the Muslims to Banyaluka I will include it on the itinerary Sumaya Sumaya we have to include it on the itineraries the Muslims have to come to Banyaluka they have to come to the madrasa they have to come whatever and then when I calmed down a bit I said but ya Allah what if the Muslims struggle with with the local community as if Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala had heard my concern we're walking down the boulevard it's really beautiful and the woman sees Sumaya and Sumaya wears hijab and abaya so she stops Sumaya she grabs she says excuse me where are you from she's in half English half Algerian I've got and she says oh Algeria and she told us a funny joke I can't remember but it's about mother Teresa alcohol in Algeria I think he said yeah
