Live from my treadmill, which is off. So I don't make anybody motion sick. As I do every month to answer any questions you may have. For those of you unfamiliar with my work every year, I read through every issue of every English language nutrition journal in the world. So busy folks like you don't have to. I think the follow the most interesting, most groundbreaking, most practical findings, new videos and articles I upload every day to my non-profit site nutritionfacts.org. Everything on the website is free. There are no ads, no corporate sponsorship and a kickback strictly non-commercial, not selling anything. Just put it up as a public service as the labor of love as a tribute to my grandmother whose own life was saved with evidence-based nutrition. If you are watching this on Facebook or YouTube, it's this weird vertical format. That's because we're also now streaming to Instagram. So I had to go from kind of landscape to vertical. So sorry if that looks a little weird on your browser. First question up, how can one maximize nutrient absorption on a whole plant-based diet, particularly interested in nutrients and how important for brain health?  And so, and found concentrated in dark green leafy vegetables, most concentrated.  Now make it, forget your brain, doesn't even make it into your bloodstream. So that's why we want to mix our greens with some form of fat. What's the best way to get fat? Best way to get all our macronutrients are protein, our carbs, our fat through whole plant foods. So what's a whole plant source of fat? Avocados, nuts, seeds, nut butter, seed butters, right?   So anyway, so you want to have fat in your stomach at the same time we have dark green leafy vegetables to get that Lutin into your brain. Next up, Alexander. If I want to fill capsules at my one with spices I have problems to integrate in my daily diet, which, oh, which capsule material is best? So actually, interestingly, the probably the best way to do it that I found is using edible film. Sounds so weird. One ingredient, potato starch. It's these thin little round discs of, they're so thin, they're transparent, you can't even see them, sheets of potato starch. And so you can put all sorts of nasty powders, anything that tastes gross. A lot of people don't like turmeric, things like that that I recommend.  And then makes this nice little slippery pouch, which is squishy. So you think like, well, I couldn't take a pill that big, but no, the pills are hard. And this is just squishy. And so you put it in your tongue, you don't taste anything because it has this like coating of potato starch. It's really weird. And then you just swallow it down. So that's what I do every day. So my current spice mixture is quarter teaspoon of turmeric, quarter teaspoon of black cumin, quarter teaspoon of ground ginger, quarter teaspoon of papali, which is long pepper. This new thing I discovered in the how not to age. What am I missing? Oh, omelette. And the fifth is omelette. Talking about nasty powders, which is dried Indian gooseberry powder. So rather than capsules, that's probably the easiest way to do it. All right, next up. And then you just swallow once, take a whole handful of capsules and it'll probably a lot cheaper too. Okay, what else we got? Jan, is that Jan or John? Jan, besides, I'm gonna make this bigger so I can actually see what the questions are. Besides B12, are there any supplements I recommend for healthy and vegan 80 years old? So at 80, everyone has to be on B12. You don't have to be vegan. In fact, over 65. That's a recommendation from the National Academy of Medicine, kind of the most prestigious medical institution in the country. Everyone has taken vitamin B12 supplements, B3, vitamin B12, 4 to 5 foods.  So I'm trying to think what came up in the book. So creatine. So I'm adding creatine to a resistance exercise regimen increases lean muscle mass in older individuals. So that's something I would recommend. I believe it's three grams, which is like a teaspoon a day. And I talked about the pros and cons and so you can kind of make up your own mind over it. If you're getting inadequate sun exposure, vitamin D, I would consider a pollutant-free source of DHA, these long chain omega-3 fatty acids. So like an algae-based, 250 milligrams algae-based DHA every day. That's something I do. And then, obviously depends if you're an alcoholic or I mean, there's all sorts of particular situations where you may want to ask your doctor if you were in a particular situation where you'd need a particular supplement. But that's kind of the general ones that come to mind. Okay, they're flooding in. So I gotta go back to the top so I can try to do them in order. So people who got here first will get their questions answered. Next question, is vitamin D from sun more efficient than supplement? Is it better to avoid sun exposure during peak hours? Okay, well, I mean, vitamin C sun exposure is remarkable. You can get like 10,000 international units versus of vitamin D from sun exposure, which is, you know, they typically don't sell. I mean, I think the RDA 400 or 600, I recommend 2,000. But, you know, I talk a lot in the book, particularly preserving your skin chapter, talk about 90% of visible skin aging is from sun exposure. So if you care about your appearance, yeah, avoiding sun, particularly during the peak hours, you know, applying daily sunscreen, wearing a hat, you know, all those various things that you can do will protect your skin from the sun. And so wait a second, where are you gonna get vitamin D from? Well, people who wear sunscreen actually don't have their vitamin D impaired just because most people don't apply sunscreen very well and enough UV rays actually get through.  So, but that's so you can get the best of both worlds by taking vitamin D supplements and avoiding the sun otherwise, if you can. Okay, next up, Roger. Hempsey's exclamation point. How do they measure up against flaxseeds? Ooh, right, they're actually more nutritious. Well, of course, it depends what criteria are. The reason I'm encouraging people to, the reason they're so important, actually part of my daily dozen. My daily dozen checklist of all the healthiest of healthy foods that encourage people to fit into their daily routine. Available as a free app, Dr. Gregor's Daily Dozen on both Android and iPhone. And so, so important, I include it. So why flaxseeds? Why not any other kind of seeds? Why not hemp seeds? Two reasons. One, they are really the most concentrated source of the short chain omega-3 fatty acids, alpha linoleic acid.  You can also get some from Walnut, there's some other foods, but that's a nice, flax are a nice convenient source. And also, flax is the most concentrated source of lignins, which are anti-cancer compounds. It's really remarkable. I'm actually, this is funny. This is, I haven't talked about this before. I just started sitting down to write my proposal for my next book. You'd think I'd let how not to age. I haven't even done my speaking tour yet. You think it'd be, the copies would be cold before I'd started working on the next book, but I'm always thinking about new research. So next is gonna be cancer survival. And all the foods that have been shown, just like how not to diet, I talked about all the specific foods that have been shown randomized control draws to actually accelerate the loss of body fat, right? So every single one, I wanted to make as comprehensive as possible. That's when came up with the 21 tweaks. There's lots of things that can accelerate the loss of body fat regardless of what you eat. And so same thing with how not to age, like what has been shown to actually extend life.  And one of those is flaxseed. So researchers find that high levels of lignans in the bloodstream, so say with significant lower risk of breast cancer, for example, most concentrated form of lignans are these flaxseeds. So they just randomized women at high risk for breast cancer to, I believe it was a tablespoon a day of ground flaxseeds for, I forget how many weeks or months, maybe six months. And took biopsies, breast biopsies before and after. And saw significant slowing of kind of pre-cancerous changes. That's exciting. But even better would be to take women with breast cancer, randomized them to flaxseeds. And that was done as well and show with biopsies showing significant benefits. And we think it's because of these lignans. And so the only food that comes close, sesame seeds have a significant amount of lignans, but basically everything else doesn't. And so unless you're eating flaxseeds every day or lots of sesame seeds, you're gonna be missing out. So that's why it's so important. You know, there's specific comments like the sulforaphane and the cruciferous vegetables. That's why I recommend specific cruciferous vegetables. There are some nutrients like vitamin C found throughout the plant kingdom, right? So you can get it from bell peppers, you get it from tropical fruit, you can get it from broccoli. So it's not like, you know, you gotta go out of your way to avoid scurvy. But you do have to go out of your way if you're looking for the lignans or the sulforaphane or, you know, these green tea compounds that are found one place in green tea. And there's actually some weird mushroom that has them too. I remember just like there's one plant, the drumstick tree in Africa that has the sulforaphane too. It's cruciferous vegetables and there's weird tree. Anyway, but in general, right? And so that's why there's, you know, I mean, that's why I got books to write.  You know, there could be a sentence long instead of hundreds and hundreds of pages long. Oh my God, have you seen me? This is the, so the US version, they printed on really thin paper. But look, this is the regular version which they printed up in the UK. Look at this monstrosity. That is because there's specific foods for specific things. So anyway, yeah, that's why you should eat flaxseeds. It's probably a longer answer than that you needed. But all right, next up. I understand the soy can inhibit iron absorption. Nothing I'm aware of. There, I mean, so oxalate rich foods. So like the three high oxalate dark green leafies, spinach, beet green, Swiss chard are stingy with their calcium. And so that's like one mineral inhibition example. Probably for iron absorption, tea inhibits the absorption of iron. So that's why I encourage people, even though green tea is a very important beverage, I encourage people to fit into their daily routine, not during meals. Why? Iron absorption. So that's really what I'm most concerned about. And indeed, adding vitamin C rich foods like the ones I mentioned can boost iron absorption if that's your problem.  You wanna have low iron levels, but not too low that you become anemic because high iron levels access to pro-oxid and increased risk of cancer, some other things. And so you wanna go out of your way to increase your iron unless you are a menstruating woman losing iron every month or for whatever reason found to be anemic for iron deficiency purposes or et cetera, down the list. But shouldn't go out of our way to boost iron unless we know there's a reason to do that. Okay, okay, next up, Carolyn. In the UK, plant meal, oh yeah, organic foods are not fortified. It was a big problem because B12, right? So here in the States, B12 is found, so I talk about you need to take B12 supplements or eat fortified foods. And so here it's super easy. B12's added to everything, soy milk or even some herbal teas have B12 in it, but by kind of organic standards in the UK, in my understanding, you cannot add extra vitamins and stuff that violates their kind of organic principles. And so the soy milk, which is kind of a regular source of fortified B12 fortification for people here in the States, you're missing out. So it's really more important to get it through supplements. Okay, but so this person's asking on a daily basis, so would it be better to get the fortified non-organic or the organic with no fortification? So, well, the most important thing, need to get your B12. And so if you don't wanna take a B12 supplement, which is super cheap, you can do it once a week. If you're under age 65, 2,000 micrograms a week, all the B12 you need, super easy.  And so I just wanna incorporate a food into my diet, then you'd wanna buy the fortified non-organic to get that B12. But if you're like, look, I take a B12 supplement, I don't need B12, you know, and what's some of the other stuff I don't need? You know, actually vitamin D. So vitamin D is added to plant-based milks. The, is fortified, which may be an issue in the UK during the winter months, no longer, no matter how long you sunbathe naked by the Thames in January, February, you're not gonna make any vitamin D cause the sun's raised at such an angle that during the winter months. And so, you know, so studies have found that the levels of in UK vegans actually drops too low for comfort. Non-vegans can get some vitamin D from dairy milk, from fish, but the vegans, presumably because they're, you know, drinking organic milk, not that you need to drink any milk at all, but if they're drinking some organic plant milk, they weren't getting the vitamin D supplementation, they actually dropped too low.  So for that, so that's a good reason to either, again, you just take a vitamin D supplement and then be like, just have the, you know, get the non-fortified stuff, but if you don't wanna do the supplement, that would be a kind of cheap easy way to get vitamin D in a country that is so high in latitude. All right, what's next? Carolyn, oh, her skin is yellow. Not quite Marge yellow, but yellow for me and lots of healthy foods. A blood test or normal, that's good. Oh yeah, eating a lot of goodness. How yellow am I? How yellow am I? So that is a sign of health. In fact, I was just at a longevity medical conference in Vegas of all places. I was fantastic talk, 5,000 folks. A book signing line went on for three hours. Even though they sold out of books in 20 minutes. So it was just like, you know, it just juicened me from my 100 city speaking tour, which starts in a week or two. But they had, they had a booth where they had this cool machine.  And as a good indicator of health. So like beta carotene levels in the blood are actually a good predictor of health and longevity, not because the beta carotene it's just a marker of healthy eating. So it's kind of cool that you can get scored on healthy eating. And so, so it's good having crontinoids deposited in your skin. In fact, I talk about my skin capture actually gives you an inside out level of sunscreen like built in sunscreen, not enough to prevent skin aging or skin cancer like you still have to add sunscreen but it's like all the little hard to reach places you don't have to think about it just there already. So there's all sorts of good benefits.  But if you like just put them in a juicer you can get a huge amount like I just had two pounds of carrots or whatever in a juice you can turn orange. It's called crotinoidemia and it's completely harmless but it does cosmetically look a little weird often shows up first in kind of palms and the soles of the feet and it takes a while for it to kind of go away. The only other, so the only, so basically it's a good thing eating lots of healthy foods. So I would stick with it unless you're feeling it's cosmetically weird in which case you can back off a little bit. There is one interesting exception and that's anorexia nervosa. People, largely women who starve themselves can get this crotinoidemia. They can turn bright orange. And so they look, so yeah, so it's interesting I was, I used to have one of these cool spectrometer gadgets. This donor, they're really expensive like $15,000 but this donor least one for me from the company so I could take it around and inspire people to eat fruits and vegetables. And it's funny, I would go at every talk I'd be like a hundred bucks to whoever gets the highest score, right? And so everyone would line up be so fun to like test who could beat Dr. Greger, who score of course is off the charts. And it's interesting, the woman who won at this one particular event I remember, I think it wasn't because she was eating fruits and vegetables it's because she was a victim of anorexia. And so if your orange-ness is a sign of anorexia then obviously you need to get help. Anorexia is a mental illness with one of the highest fatality rates through suicide. I talk about it in how not to diet. And so some to be taken very seriously. So, but that's not your problem. It just means you're eating healthy food and that's fantastic. Okay, next up. Danielson, in a recent blog on a B12 mentioned fortified energy drinks as a source. There some have B12 added to them. So I put a splash of generic five-hour energy drink in my smoothie every morning at 10K RMD, I guess 10,000. Oh, it's probably 10,000% of your kind of daily recommended, whatever a B12 would that work. Okay, so how much is a splash? So let's say a splash is like a hundred or a 100th of a bottle. And is that even reasonable? How many ounces is a typical like, I guess eight ounces of cup. So like 16 ounce bottle. So 16 times 28, 28, 28, 28. So that's about 500 milliliters. And let's say a splash is like half a milliliter. So you just added like 1,000th of the bottle. And if it has 10,000%, that just means it has like a hundred times. And so you'd only be getting one 10th of the RDA of the recommended daily intake if you just put a splash. So I don't think the math works. So I would not use that as a source for your B12. Okay. All right, coffee and a sewing machine asks, let's talk about mushroom coffee. Is it beneficial? Oh, so yeah, I wanna make sure I understand what you're talking about. There are certainly like actual coffee that has mushroom powder added. There is like chaga mushroom powder. I don't know if people, if there's actual pure mushroom products that they just call coffee cause it's like a warm beverage that they drink it as or something. So my concern with chaga mushrooms is they're such high oxalate intake. I think a single teaspoon, you'd have to check the videos, type in C-H-A-G-A into nutrition facts. It'll pop right up. I think one teaspoon is too much like exceeds your oxalate intake for the day. And so it puts you at risk for kidney stones, particularly if you're susceptible. So that would be my one concern. I guess it depends what mushroom we're talking about here. But I'm all in favor of mushrooms, but certain mushrooms have to be cooked. Certain mushrooms have to be not consumed with alcohol.  All right. Oh, I gotta scroll back up because we're getting so many. Oh, it won't let me scroll back up. Okay. Sorry for all the questions I skipped. It won't let me go back. There's so many questions. So I'll just start where I have, but I didn't skip you on purpose. GM says, I can only find B12 cyanocobalamin 25 micrograms, 25, 25 micrograms insoluble gummies in New Zealand. How many should I take if I have B12 diff, oh, okay. So if you have B12 deficiency, we don't mess around and you should get, you know, you should be taking 2000 a day. So you should be able to, your doctor should be able to prescribe you 2000 micrograms of chewable B12 a day, even if you can't find it around and worse comes to worse, get B12 injections. Oral B12 is actually superior to B12 injections, but if you can't find high doses, high enough doses to treat deficiency, then you need to absolutely get injected with B12 because it's, B12 deficiency can be absolutely devastating. All right. High prolactin levels question, Mark. What's the cause and how to bring them down to normal? That's a good question. I'm trying to think of any prolactin videos. Nothing that comes to mind. If you type in prolactinnutrisphex.org, let me know if anything pops up. If it doesn't, let me know. And I will add it to my topics list to do the next batch of videos. That's when I'm gonna start in July. So six months speaking tour, January through June, 100 cities and then July, bam, start churning out the new videos. I actually have enough videos queued out until then. So I have to do videos on the road. But then I'm gonna run out of videos. And so I need topic suggestions. If there, particularly if there's something, I mean, of course, I'm gonna do more videos about everything, right? But if there's a topic that's actually not on nutrition facts at all, there's not a single video about it, that really should be my priority. And so if, and so prolactin maybe one, if there are other conditions or foods that aren't, let me know, and I will prioritize those to at least have something on the topic on the site. Okay, next up. Do I need to remove almond skins before making almond milk? You do not need to remove almond skins before making almond milk. Okay. Let's see, what else? Maria, how do you, how do, how, how to do time-restricted eating when you work until 8 a.m., 8 p.m.? Well, you can pack food. So right, so time-restricted eating we want to, what's critical here is early time-restricted feeding. So cutting your eating daily into eating windows 12 hours or less, but critically important to shoved as early as possible. If anything, we skip supper, we don't skip breakfast, try to push as many calories in the morning as possible so you can make your lunch the biggest meal of the day. And then is there something you can pack and eat at work? Depending on your work, there's lots of kind of healthy foods that you can pack with me. I pack them in my suitcase. Can you take a big sweet potato and a Ziploc bag and kind of munch on it, very satiating. It's something I eat on planes. People give me a little weird looks because they're bright purple. I got those Hawaiian sweet potatoes. So it's like, I'm chewing into this like fluorescent purple globe, try to get that through security. I've had lots of questions. Anyway, there's so, rather than starting to eat at 8 30 when you get home, if you can stop eating at least before seven, that'd be best. So maybe you can get away with eating at work. At least that's my suggestion. We are running out of time and trying to think, let me see if there's some really quick question I can answer. Is it better to freeze baked bananas and then use them in a smoothie? Ah, this is such an interesting question. When you come up with this thing, I just gave a webinar relatively recently talking about how adding fresh bananas to a smoothie can interfere with, can interfere with your, the bioavailability of some other nutrients that are in that smoothie.  It adds a nice creamy sensation and sweetness that the banana has. So you can like microwave them and chop them up and freeze them and just throw in chunks or frozen mango or whatever. But it's all because of this banana enzyme.  And so this person is suggesting, okay, we baked the banana. I give how much, you don't have to heat it up too much. And then we freeze it. Does that work? Yeah, that would totally work. So another way to do it is freeze dry. If you really like banana flavor, freeze dried banana, it's not brown. Why is it not brown? Cause the enzyme has been destroyed. Remember it's the browning enzyme. And so you could just add a handful of freeze dried banana chips. I don't know. Anyway, let me announce that it is our end of year fundraiser. If you want to support the work that I do to spread the information about the good news that we have this tremendous power of our health destiny and longevity and that the vast majority of premature death and disability is preventable with a healthy enough plant-based diet and lifestyle if you want to save lives and want to help us get this message out of evidence-based nutrition, please consider nutritionfacts.org, 5-1-2-3-non-profit. So tax deductible here in the United States as part of your kind of end of year philanthropy. We would really appreciate it. And that's it. So the reason I can give away all the sales, all the money from my like speaking on a rare I am all the book sales, all the money I get goes directly to charity is because I get a salary through nutritionfacts.org. And so by donating to Nutrition Facts you are putting kale on my table. So thank you for that. And have a wonderful holiday season and happy new year. And I will see you hopefully on the road. And if not, I will see you.


If you've recently fulfilled the lifetime dream of moving to Israel through the process known as making aliyah, then you may be surprised to find that you've now taken on an identity that you never anticipated. I'm not talking about becoming Israeli because that was probably part of your plan. Most people who move to Israel aspire to eventually do that, but the more practically minded among us, or maybe it's more fair to say the cynics, realize that the image of instant Israeliness broadcast by nephish-benephish photo ops at the airport is mostly the stuff of fiction. Moving into a new culture, speaking a different language requires effort, time, and above all, persistence. Just as you probably wouldn't take a flight to Oslo, visit Nikea, eat some meatballs, and then decide to self-identify as Swedish, the process of leaving behind your culture of birth and accepting a new Middle Eastern identity really isn't something that happens overnight. For most, it's a lifetime process, one that requires hundreds of hours spent learning vocabulary, taking professional steps backwards before making leaps forward, and building a new social circle and life almost completely from scratch. During your initial weeks and months in Israel, among awkward Shabbat mixers and your first time shopping at a Shufrasal, you may be surprised to hear others refer to you as an Anglo and talk about joining the Anglo community, and you may then, in the bright hot sun of your first Israeli summer, pause for a moment to wonder, what the f**k is an Anglo? In the strange netherworld culture of immigrants to Israel, those caught somewhere in the open grey space between the lines they've left behind and the new ones they are making, an Anglo is used as a shorthand for an Anglophone, which basically just means a native English speaker. Anglo is actually only one of several new words that you'll likely learn in the strange vocabulary of Hebrew, like how an academic isn't a tenured professor but actually anybody who holds a college degree, and how Balagan can be dropped into a sentence in English to emphasise that the current situation surrounding you in Israel, as so many of them are, can best be described as a complete state of f**k chaos. After picking up the lingo, you may be wondering why anybody moving to Israel would want to be identified with the language other than the one they're trying to learn, which is Hebrew. I don't have a clear answer for that, but I can tell you a few things about the Anglo sphere in Israel so that you know what to expect. The first thing that most Anglos eventually come to realise is that the language you speak is only one small part of your identity as a human. Anglos are definitely not a homogenous group, even though the name suggests they are. There are right wing Anglos living in the gush, left wing Anglos who vote for merits and campaign for gay rights in Tel Aviv. There are carnivar Anglos and avowed vegetarians. There are Anglos who grow ghost peppers for fun in greenhouses and those who grow different plants in their cramped Tel Aviv studios. You may find that you have everything in common with another immigrant to English who happens to speak your language, or nothing at all. You'll likely discover very quickly that Americans constitute the overwhelming majority of the English speaking population in Israel. You will find that Israelis and even other English speakers will assume that you're from the United States until proven otherwise. If you're not from the US and you spend enough time among English speakers, you'll probably spend hours of your life bored to death listening to debates about the US presidential elections or where to buy Philadelphia cream cheese. If you're above a certain vintage like me, you'll discover that Facebook groups, yes, they still exist, function as a virtual water cooler of sorts for the Anglo community. You'll probably encounter one called Secret Jerusalem that many people need for practical reasons, but even those who do like to make fun of. You'll likely find yourself wondering at some point why Americans in English seem so obsessed with sourcing Philadelphia cream cheese and other American essentials and question why nobody seems to consider using the search function before asking where in Jerusalem you can exchange dollars for shackles because it's been asked literally a zillion times. If like me, you're of a more cynical bend, you'll ultimately conclude that the entire Anglo world and the network of organizations that exist to support English speakers in Israel is really just intended to make your life in Israel that little bit easier. It's kind of like a crutch that everybody knows is a crutch and it's a bubble that some people actually resent, but for linguistic reasons, because Hebrew is kind of a pretty hard language overall. It's an expat bubble that kind of has to exist. For some, it's a necessary evil, but for others, it's a source of strength. As time goes on, you'll likely find that the Anglo sphere becomes less relevant to you as your Hebrew improves. You'll gradually begin to make friends among more Hebrew speakers than those who share your mother tongue. As this happens, you may feel a strange sense of being pulled between two conflicting worlds, between being pulled by the familiar but vaguely guilty pleasure of socializing with other English speakers and doing what's in your best long-term interests, on the other hand, by learning Hebrew and leaving the small community mostly to the site. There are times when you'll likely come to appreciate the Anglo bubble even when you don't personally need it anymore, like when your overwhelmed friend moves to Tel Aviv and has no idea how to order takeaway and searching in Hebrew is just that little bit too difficult right now. Or when your 80-year-old grandparent who has literally zero proficiency at language learning moves here and is delighted to discover that learning Hebrew is one less mountain that they'll have to worry about climbing. The more time you spend in Israel as an English speaker, the more you'll realize that much as there's no one right or wrong way to be in Israeli, there's no prescriptive way to live here under the identity of an English speaker. Like me, you may ultimately come to Brazil at the term Anglo and wish that people could stop making assumptions about you on the basis of a language you speak. You'll also begin to notice some very obvious bifurcations in the English-speaking world. There are those who are happy to put their English-speakiness at the core of their identity. You'll find Anglo-hard-cores who advocate living in ghetto-like neighborhoods where virtually everybody speaks English. You'll find those as well who advance the idea that you can live a fulfilled and happy life in Israel and have a thriving career here while barely speaking a word of Hebrew. Some have even advocated for the idea that English speakers in Israel should form their own political party to better represent their interests among the Israeli collective. You'll realize that these people seem mostly contented and happy and even though it may not be your model for living in Israel, it's theirs. On the other hand, you'll occasionally encounter the zealots. There are those who actively disavow the English-speaking community from the ghetto and throw themselves right into the linguistic deep end from the moment the wheels of their alia flight touched down on the tarmac at Ben-Gurion. More people, however, fall somewhere between these two extremes and you'll often only realize in retrospect that many of your English-speaking friends are actually much better integrated into Israeli society than you might have assumed. As you continue to live in Israel, you'll eventually find yourself at what I call the final point of evolution as an English speaker or a Spanish speaker, Russian speaker, or a Hebrew speaker. That's when you feel comfortable enough on your level of Hebrew to know that whether someone is a Hebrew speaker or shares your language is mostly at this point irrelevant. And the best friends for you are those with whom you have the most in common, whether that includes a language or not. Thanks for watching today's video. If you have suggestions for videos about life in Israel that you'd like to see me tackle, please feel free to leave a suggestion in the comments.


Now we can look at rotational kinetic energy. We'll start by reminding ourselves about kinetic energy in general. It was the energy of motion.  If I have more than one mass, I find the kinetic energy for each one and then add them up. So now we got circular motion. So if I start with this kinetic energy equation, I realize that my linear speed, my v, is related to the angular speed where v was equal to r omega.  Because I'm squaring the velocities, it doesn't really matter what direction they're in at that point, so I can call them speeds if I need to. Now for a rigid body. In this case, my mass is spread out over the whole object. So here I've just marked a couple of specific little points. Of course the entire thing is full of different masses. But what I want to note is that as I'm going through here, each of these little masses is at a different radius out from the center. They are rotating with the same angular speed, however. So as it starts to rotate, what I see is some of them have kinetic energy that's smaller and some is larger. And I want to add up all these little kinetic energies. So the way I rate that is that the sum of all the little kinetic energies is equal to the sum of each little one is an Mi or an Ri. Now since the one-half and the omega squared part aren't changing, I see all I'm really having to sum are these parts. These parts are multiplied by the whole thing. And that's going to give me the rotational kinetic energy. Now if I take that equation, what I recognize is that in this chunk of it, I've seen that before. That's actually my moment of inertia. And some people actually use this rotational kinetic energy equation as the justification for defining the moment of inertia this way. And so that means the more common form of writing the kinetic rotational energy is one-half i omega squared, the moment of inertia times the angular velocity squared. Now let's just compare these two equations here real quick. I've got my linear kinetic energy and my rotational kinetic energy. My M is my mass, which is like a linear inertia. My I is like a rotational inertia. So I've got the linear and the rotational quantities. Similarly, my V is my linear speed and my omega is my rotational speed. So these two equations are parallel each other. One for linear, one for rotation. Now I can take a look at the units. And starting with moment of inertia, that's kilogram per meter squared. Not kilogram per meter squared. Students make that mistake often. Kilogram times meter squared. And my omega is in radians per second. But it's squared, so it's really radians squared per second squared. Then if I remember that radians is really just a placeholder unit, I can see that all of this put together is really a kilogram meter squared per second squared. And going way back to our early discussions, that is the joule, which is the unit I expect for any kind of energy, including kinetic energy. So that shows me my rotational kinetic energy.


Buy My Coins is the best place to get Madden coins for anything.  Superstar KO! We meet again. I wouldn't take my homes there, but it kind of defeats the purpose of today's challenge Which is winning superstar KO and I get my homes back-to-back.  Which is winning Superstar KO with our kicker at QB. The reason I'm not taking a half back is because I'm hoping I can get a really really good one, but for now, it's like Bobby Wagner. Here's how we're gonna do this. Now, yes, you know what I could do? I could seven my kicker at QB and I could literally spam half back die or any run play. That kind of defeats the purpose, right? Can we agree on that? So here's what I'm gonna limit myself to. I'm limiting myself to three run plays per Superstar KO game. Even if it goes into OT, it's three total, right? Point being if I want to score the touchdown, there's a really good chance I'm gonna have to actually throw with my kicker. Could be kicker or punter. I'm not really sure who's gonna be better. I don't think it'll matter since they all have like 20 throwing stats. So Dak is gonna come out for, do we go Sam Koch? I don't think it's Koch. I think it's pronounced Koch, but come on, dude. Well, you know, I actually like Greg the Leg.  Let me make something really clear right now, boys. I don't care if his name is Sam Koch and I don't care if his name is Sam Koch. I'm calling him Koch. That is Koch. Okay. See, so Julio is open, but I can't make that throw. All right, this play is called Jet Touch Pass. It counts as a pass. So I am allowed to do this. It's going to Kyle Lewis Check, which, I mean, the man does not have wheels, so we kind of just need some blocks.  I hope that's a blitz. I'm gonna hit, dude.  I wish that was anybody else, dude. Literally anybody else. Wait, I might sub him out. Can I not put a wide receiver there? Damn, I can't. Whatever. I'll put Philip Lindsay there. It's forcing a fullback into that slot. It's just kind of annoying. Let's see if Lindsay clears. He does. Good ball.  Dude's throwing ropes. I'm gonna look for Julio. That's real bad. If I can get Jerry Rice on the edge and just maybe do something with him, I don't know. At least Jerry Rice in the open field, you know, has some potential. Fourth and something or other. Best of luck, Jerry Rice, I believe. I'm tossing it. He's open. He's got it.   Oh, no. That was that press got in there. I forgot to sub because it was a different formation. Shit. I'm sorry, boys. I have to sub out every single formation. That's my fault. I'm sorry. So I kind of cheated there, but I don't know. Say what you will. Third and 16. Jerry Rice is there. Good ball. Dude, let's go. This guy's a freak. He throws ropes. I just need to hit Jerry Rice. Or Julio. Or Julio. Damn, good coverage. I think this is a... Oh, that's a sack. I know what that is. Let's go. Been a cover two, which I don't really actually want to be in this. So I'm kind of mad at myself for picking this, but good ball. I knew he was going to throw that. First and 10. He's going to put TY on a burner and just... Oh my god.  Wasn't even his X factor. This is going to be tough. All right. I'm going to go to a different team, though. All right, boys, we're going to try this. Ooh, we're going to try this again. And we got Jim Brown now. I like that. Defense. This would be nice. Okay. This team is so much better than the last one already. Ray Lewis, Jim Brown, and our offensive pick, Y receiver. Come on, baby. Damn, they're literally all quarterbacks. That's actually really unfortunate, but whatever. All right. First and 10, starting on defense. I like this a lot better. He throws underneath. Oh, wow. Nice juke. Nice juke guy. I want to blitz, and I want to blitz really fast, right at your face. How can I go about hitting him? He throws right at me. You're bold. Oh my god, and I'm going to pick six in. That's how you start. That's how you start one dog in the books. Why did you throw that? What are you doing? Come on. Asking you shall receive. Come on. Give it to me. You know I want it. Yes, sir. It's defense. Yeah. I'm going to give Bosa. Keep that edge hot. Oh my god.   Are you going to make me leave the session now? All right. One more crack at it, boys.  Wow. This is great. Dalvin Cook? Okay. You know what? I actually really like Dalvin Cook. I'm cool with that. Can I get an elite defensive player? A really good defensive player. Please, please, please help me out here. The market starts fine. I'll take it. She went from two legends in an altruary to two altruaries in a comment. You broke me. Hey, but he's got it. Wait, which one is that? Does that take off? I always forget. Oh my god. You have to be kidding me.  Why? What are you jumping for? I was this close to literally pick sixing that and somehow he takes it to the end zone.  We're going to run this like this and I'm going to throw check downs. I'm going to top rating this bitch, especially Dalvin Cook in the open field. Like that's actually going to be really good. Assuming he's not on top. All right. That's money. Breathe, Matt. Breathe, Matt. It's okay. Hey, it's okay. You're good. You're good. You're good. You're good. Does he make it? No. He was so open. No. Oh my god. It was so open. It's there. It's there. Does he make? Oh, he missed. Yes, sir. Sam cocking balls. Okay, we can do this. Oh my god. Did he make that throw? It's so open.  It's so open. It's 30, 10. It's so open.  This is so tough, dude. David Johnson. Yes. Wait. Touchdown. Yes, sir. Oh no. And I stepped out. Okay, but good. Person 10. We're moving the rock. Deshawn. Okay. Okay. Okay, bro. I think abuse pig can make that throw. A little six-year-old girl can make that throw.  Like you got no excuse on that one. Okay, but can he set his... Like I get that he has bad throwing stats, but I could personally make that throw. With my feet set, I could throw the ball 15 yards. I need to look for Julio on this slant, or I won't be able to get this. You know what? He throws his first accurate pass of the day and it's guarded. I had three run plays. Why was I dicking around like that? I could have just sent it up the middle and I had pecked out. I will try one more time, but I think my brain's gonna explode if I go any further past that, especially because the best team I had, EA just cucked me. Hey, we get Rob Gankowski. That could be very useful. Legendary tight end. Defensively. Keekley. Absolutely. And another defensive pick. I like Hunter. And he's got Jim Brown. I can get my Jim Brown back right here, boys. I mean, this guy might be away from his ex. Oh, he's not. Dammit. I thought he was away from his ex back. Oh, is that pig's no bubble?  Do it. I dare you. Oh, it's not. God, that could have been so cool. He throws into the middle of the Jim Brown. I thought, wow, I thought I was on that. Yes. Come on. Run it. Run it. Run it. Run it. Run it. Pig zone. Pig zone. Pig zone. Yes. That's it. He ran. Pig zone bubble.  Or that wasn't Pig zone bubble because Tyree Cranor out. Highly doubt he does it again. He calls an audible. Audibling a few different players. He's just gonna look for Jim Brown out of the backfield. That makes the most sense. Doesn't get anything. Third and 10. And this team's kind of cooking right now. I like this team. All right. So, we know he's gonna look for a lob. Just, oh, whoa. Why did Lou Keekley just drop to the ground? Get the pick. Let's go. A Ruer. I can't say that name. All right. So, I think I have a single-back, half-back dive out of this. Yeah. So, I'm just gonna run mesh. And if I get really stone walled, I'll half-back dive. Oh, that's yes. Grump. Yes. Got it. Okay. Tronk. Go. Go. Go. Wait. Wait. Oh, and he got the stiff on two. What a maniac.  I mean, I already kind of neared Gronk as a beast, but that just solidified it. Okay. I'm gonna use one of my run plays right now. Try and get me a little bit closer because I get three, right? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. No. Switch on sooner, my friend.  Yes, sir. Yes, sir.  Fourth and seven. I have to do that again. I'm doing the same thing. It was so there. It was a good pass. It was accurate. I literally just toss a lofter up to Gronk. That's all I need. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Go get it. What are you doing? What are you doing? Oh, my God. That ball was right there. Over time.  Yes, sir. That's a sack. That's huge. Could be solid yards here for us. Jesus. B was open in the middle. I was just zoning in on Gronk, though. I'm gonna try and lob one more to Gronk, actually. If I get the chance to have another play, I'm lobbing one more to Gronk.  That's bad. That's what you put into my head made me want to kill myself. This is the hardest one I've ever done. I can't believe it's this difficult. I thought maybe they would still make the underneath passes like sometimes. Boy, I was wrong. I was so wrong. All right, boys. It was a valiant effort, and I loved it, but I can't. I've been here for an hour seven now, and I can't do that. I can't even give guys game one. Maybe one day I'll return and try to complete this one, but as of right now, I'm gonna forfeit take my L. Thank you for watching. It was a blast. I enjoyed it, but wow, that was tough. I'll see you boys in the next one. Thanks so much as always. Peace out.


Fyfyrdd ddaeth y cwsiedig yn cyfnod. The next item of business this afternoon is a debate on motion 13703 in the name of the First Minister on the appointment of a junior Scottish minister. Members should note that the question on this motion will be put immediately after the debate. I will invite any member who wishes to speak in this debate to press their request speed button now and I call on Nicola Sturgeon to speak to and to move the motion in her name. Before I turn to the ministerial appointment, can I take this opportunity to clarify a point from my programme for government statement? I referred to this weekend's opening of the AWPR or a major section of the AWPR. I want to make clear that the opening event is this weekend and it will open to traffic in the coming weeks. However, it remains the case that the whole road will be open to traffic in the autumn of this year. I that was clear to the chamber. I rise to seek Parliament's approval that Richard Lockhead MSP be appointed as a Scottish junior minister. This will of course not be the first time that Richard has held ministerial office and during his time in government previously he had a number of notable achievements. He was a tireless champion of Scottish rural industries both at home and abroad as well as being instrumental in driving the growth of our food and drink sector, which of yw'r drws iawn i'r gwerthau.

Richard Bell has remained a campaigning politician, never wavering in standing up for his constituents, particularly in the issue of delivery charges. Richard has led a highly effective campaign, highlighting the UK Government's continued failure to act on what is a significant injustice, not only for his constituents, but for rural communities across Scotland and forcing action by companies, the advertising standards agency and trading standards. Y Llywyddyn Cymru yn gwneud ychwanegwyr i'w cyfaint yn gwasanaeth, mae Llywyddyn Gwyrddol yng nghymru i gwasanaeth, hwyngiddoedd a'r llaw.

He is perfectly placed to work with both sectors, being a graduate first of college and then returning to studies at university later on. It will give me great pleasure to welcome Richard Lochhead back to Government and I hope that MSPs from across the chamber will wish him well in what is a very important job. I move the motion in my name. Richard Lochhead is one of the few remaining 99ers in the Scottish Parliament, a parliamentary veteran and no stranger to the Government benches. He is a native of Paisley in my own region in the west of Scotland but, like many Scots before him, he has travelled far from the place of his birth. He seemed determined to win the constituency or at least see as much of the north of Scotland as he possibly could. He was standing in Gordon in 1997, Aberdeen Central in 1999 and 2003 before winning Murray in 2006, although by this time he had already served as a regional MSP in the north of Scotland for seven years. He previously served as Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment and, in that capacity, I worked with him promoting the sale of compost bins. Together, we sold more than 1 million compost bins to households throughout Scotland. There is a picture of each of us inside a compost bin, which was part of the promotional campaign. When you say that, you wonder how we managed to shift 1 million of those, but never mind. I have the photo, but I am not sure which one of us would lose most political credibility were I to release it to social media. Of course, Richard Lochhead is a champion of the circular economy, and in that regard we are kindred spirits. His new portfolio is also a critical one, driving forward education and learning. I know that he will work hard, as he was named Joint Fourth Hardest Working MSP this summer by Philip Sim. We might be opponents, but in this endeavour of improving education, I genuinely wish him well. Motion 13703, in the name of the First Minister, on the appointment of a junior Scottish Minister, be agreed. Are we all agreed? Yes. We are agreed. The motion is agreed. The First Minister may now invite Her Majesty to approve the appointment of Richard Lochhead as a junior Scottish Minister. I may offer my congratulations on your reappointment. The next item of business is consideration of three parliamentary bureau motions. Can I ask Graham Day on behalf of the bureau to move motion 13735 on variation to business motion procedure, motion 13736 on committee meeting times and motion 13737 on committee membership? Move, Presiding Officer. Thank you very much. I propose to ask a single question in all three bureau motions. Does anyone object? No, that's good. The question therefore is that motions 13735, 13736 and 13737 in the name of Graham Day on behalf of the bureau, be agreed. Are we all agreed? Yes. We are agreed. That concludes decision time. I will now move to members' business. We will have a short break, short suspension while the business clears, chamber clears.


In this module, we would try to explain why Islamic credit cards are not popular in Pakistan. As I said previously, there are only two banks which offer Islamic credit cards in Pakistan, namely, Basil Bank and Standard Charter. Now, Sharia scholars, especially in this country, they are of the view that an Islamic debit card is a preferred choice over an Islamic credit card. Because the technology behind Islamic debit cards or debit cards in general, it has improved so much that there are only minute differences between a debit card and a credit card. Debit card is preferred because the card holder is actually using their own money. They do not go for credit. Hence, they do not become indebted. Sharia scholars actually view this kind of activity, i.e., not going into indebtedness with a lot of favour. Credit cards, according to this approach, they promote excessive spending. You also know that when I have a credit card and I do not have to immediately pay for the goods and services I have bought, and I am going to consume, I would tend to use more of a credit card and hence it is quite possible that I would become indebted. I mentioned in a previous module that there are two types of users of a credit card. One is a transactor, i.e., the one who pays the monthly statement balance fully and hence does not pay interest. And the other one is revolver. Actually, a very significant proportion of credit card holders, they happen to be revolvers and they are part of this culture of excessive indebtedness which is frowned upon in an Islamic culture. Islamic debit cards offer transactional benefits. Why do you need a card? For ease of transaction. So Islamic debit cards offer transactional benefits of holding a card without necessarily ending into indebtedness. This is the reason for which Sharia scholars in this country favor issuance of Islamic debit cards over Islamic credit cards. And I think it makes a lot of sense. And this is actually not true only in Pakistan. Quite a number of other markets they have a similar kind of trend. Issue a debit card and not a credit card. However, I believe that Islamic debit card would not have a huge prospect in the future given that credit is becoming a norm in our lives. So debit card mean whatever I have got in my account, I am only allowed to use that amount. Having said that, American Express which is a very big international card provider, one of the most successful business product of American Express is actually a debit card. This means that those individuals, institutions, corporations which would like to have a discipline in their spending behavior, they must go for a debit card rather than a credit card. And this could be a very wise choice.


If you want to lose weight, walk after meals. It doesn't have to be a lot. It'll be five to 10 minutes. You can literally eat and then walk around your office or go outside and walk around the block. Now, why does this make a difference? Well, it's extra activity. So if you do 10 minutes of walking three times a day, it's 30 minutes of walking. You weren't doing it before, but that's not really the major impact. The major impact is how it affects your blood sugar.  And you see these great effects on blood sugar levels. That affects your behaviors.  They make you not feel so good or feel anxious. By the way, walking after meals also improves digestion.


All right, I believe we're live now on both. I don't know why I did that. All right, we are good to go. Sorry about that, y'all. I had some technical difficulties here. We are all good. So we're going to go ahead and rip this for Scott. Good luck, Scott. What's up, everyone? It's your girl, Kenzie here from Layton Sports Guards, and I'm ripping a couple boxes here for Scott F.

Alright guys, welcome back to the channel if you're new, my name's Bobby. Guys, today I have a different type of video for you. Today I'm not going to react to any type of YouTube video, however I'm going to tell you about a book that I've been reading the past few weeks. The book is titled Confessions of a British Spy, British Emnity Against Islam. In this book, a British spy named Hamfer, working in the early 1700s, tells of disguising himself as a Muslim and infiltrating the Ottoman Empire, with the goal of weakening it to destroy Islam once and for all. He tells his readers, when the unity of Muslims is broken and the common sympathy amongst them is impaired, their forces will be dissolved and thus we shall easily destroy them. We, the English people, have to make mischief and arouse schism in all our colonies in order that we may live in welfare and luxury. Hamfer intends ultimately to weaken Muslim morals by promoting alcohol and fornication, but his first step is to promote innovation and disorder in Islam by creating Wahhabism. Wahhabism, which is to gain credibility by being on the surface morally strict. For this purpose, he enlists a gullible, hot-headed young Iraqi in Basra, named Muhammad Ibn Abdul Al-Wahab. Hamfer corrupts and flatters Abdul Al-Wahab until the man is willing to found his own sect. According to Hamfer, he is one of 5,000 British agents with the assignment of weakening Muslims, which the British government plans to increase to 100,000 by the end of the 18th century. Hamfer writes, when we reach this number, we shall have brought all Muslims under our sway and Islam will be rendered into a miserable state from which it will never recover again. I am certain my audience is familiar with Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahab, however for people that do not know who he was, I am going to read you a quick summary. Muhammad Ibn Abdul Al-Wahab Ibn Suleiman Al-Tamimi was a Sunni Muslim scholar, theologian, preacher, activist, religious leader, jurist and reformer from Najd in Central Arabia. He is considered as the eponymous founder of the so-called Wahhabi movement. Born to a family of jurists, Ibn Abdul Wahab early education consisted of learning a fairly standard curriculum of orthodox jurisprudence according to the Hanbali school of Islamic law, which was the school most prevalent in his area of birth. He promoted strict adherence to traditional Islamic law, proclaiming the necessity of returning directly to the Koran and Hadith literature rather than relying on medieval interpretations and insisted that every Muslim male and female personally read and study the Koran.  I am not here to convince anybody nor am I taking a position, I just started reading the book, I find it interesting, however I keep my skepticism as well. I am simply going to read out a chapter and I want you guys to decide and tell me what you think. Do you believe this is a forgery? Do you believe this is real? Please post it in the comment section down below. Before we start the reading guys, as always if you enjoy my work leave me a thumbs up, subscribe to the channel if you haven't already and check out the links in the description box to further support this channel. Alright and now with no further ado, let's have a look. From time to time a young man would call it our carpenters shop. His attirement was that of a student doing scientific research and he understood Arabic, Persian and Turkish. His name was Mohammed bin Abdul Wahab Najd.  While abusing the Ottoman government very much, he would never speak ill of the Iranian government. The common ground which made him and the shop owner Abdul Rida so friendly was that both were inimical towards the Khalifa in Istanbul. But how was it possible that this young man who was a Sunni understood Persian and was friends with Abdul Rida who was a Shia? In this city Sunnites pretended to be friendly and even brotherly with Shiites. Most of the city's inhabitants understood both Arabic and Persian and most people understood Turkish as well. Mohammed of Najd was a Sunni outwardly, although most Sunnites censored Shiites. In fact they say that Shiites are disbelievers. This man never would revile Shiites. According to Mohammed of Najd there was no reason for Sunnis to adapt themselves to one of the four Madhabs. He would say Allah's book does not contain any evidence pertaining to those Madhabs. He purposefully ignored the Ayat-e-Kerima on the subject and slightly the hadith. Concerning the matter of four Madhabs, a century after the death of their prophet Mohammed alaihi salam, four scholars came forward from among Sunnite Muslims. Abu Hanifa, Ahmed bin Hanbal, Malik bin Anas and Mohammed bin Idris Shafi. Some Khalifas forced the Sunnites to imitate one of these four scholars. They said no one except these four scholars could perform each jihad in Quran or with the Sunnah. This movement closed the gates of knowledge and understanding for Muslims. This prohibition of each jihad is considered to have been the reason for Islam's standstill. Shiites exploited these erroneous statements to promulgate their sect. The number of Shiites was smaller than one-tenth that of Sunnites. But now they have increased and became equal with Sunnites in number. So here he is speaking about the numbers in Iraq. This result is natural for each jihad is like a weapon. It will improve Islam's thick and renovate the understanding of Quran and Sunnah. The prohibition of each jihad, on the other hand, is like a rotten weapon. It will confine the Madhabs within a certain framework and this in its turn means to close the gates of inference and to disregard the time's requirements. If your weapon is rotten and your enemy is perfect, you're doomed to be beaten by your enemy sooner or later. I think the clever ones of the Sunnites will reopen the gates of each jihad in the future. If they do not do this, they will become the minority and the Shiites will receive a majority in a few centuries. That of course did not happen. The arrogant youngster Mohammed of Najd would follow his nefs, his sensuous desires, in understanding the Quran and the Sunnah. He would completely ignore the views of scholars, not only those of the scholars of his time and the leaders of the four Madhabs but also those of the notable Sahaba, such as Abu Bakr and Umar. Whenever he came across a Quranic verse which he thought was contradictory with the views of those people, he would say, the Prophet said, I have left the Quran and the Sunnah for you. He did not say I have left the Quran, the Sunnah, the Sahaba and the Imams of Madhabs for you. Therefore the thing which is farred is to follow the Quran and the Sunnah, no matter how contrary they may seem to be to the views of the Madhabs or to the statements of the Sahaba and the scholars. During a dinner conversation at Abdul Rida's place, the following dispute took place between Mohammed of Najd and the guest from Qum, a Shiite scholar named Sheikh Jawad. Sheikh Jawad, since you accept that Ali was a Mujtahid, why don't you follow him like the Shiites? Mohammed of Najd, Ali is no different from Umar or other Sahabis. His statements cannot be of a documentary capacity. Only the Quran and the Sunnah are authentic documents. Sheikh Jawad, since our Prophet said, I am the city of knowledge and Ali is the gate, shouldn't there be a difference between Ali and the Sahaba? Mohammed of Najd, if Ali's statements were of a documentary capacity, would not the Prophet have said, I have left you the Quran, the Sunnah and Ali? Sheikh Jawad, yes, we can assume that he, the Prophet, said so. For he stated in a hadith, I leave behind me Allah's Book and my Ahl-Bait. And Ali, in his turn, is the greatest member of the Ahl-Bait. Mohammed of Najd denied that the Prophet had said so. Sheikh Jawad confuted Mohammed of Najd with convincing proofs. However, Mohammed of Najd objected to this and said, you assert that the Prophet said, I leave you Allah's Book and my Ahl-Bait, then what has become of the Prophet's Sunnah? Sheikh Jawad, the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah is the explanation of the Quran. The Messenger of Allah said, I leave you Allah's Book and my Ahl-Bait. The phrase Allah's Book includes the Sunnah, which is an explanation of the former. Mohammed of Najd, inasmuch as the statements of the Ahl-Bait are the explanations of the Quran. Why should it be necessary to explain it by hadiths? Sheikh Jawad, when Hadrat Prophet passed away, his Ummah considered that there should be an explanation of the Quran, which would satisfy the time's requirements. It was for this reason that Hadrat Prophet commanded his Ummah to follow the Quran, which is the original, and his Ahl-Bait, who were to explain the Quran in a manner to satisfy the time's requirements. Now the British spy is talking, I like this dispute very much.  Mohammed of Najd was the sort I had been looking for. For his scorn, for the time scholars, his slighting, even the earliest for Khalifahs, his having an independent view in understanding the Quran and the Sunnah, were his most vulnerable points to hunt and obtain him. So different this conceited youngster was from that Ahmed Effendi who had taught me in Istanbul. That scholar, like his predecessors, was reminiscent of a mountain. No power would be able to move him. Whenever he mentioned the name of Abu Hanifa, he would stand up, go and make abolition. Whenever he meant to hold the book of Hadith named Buhari, he would again make an evolution. The Sunnis trust this book very much. Mohammed of Najd, on the other hand, disdained Abu Hanifa very much. He would say I know better than Abu Hanifa did. In addition, according to him, half of the book of Buhari was wrong. Now I want to fast forward to the interesting part where the British spy says, I established a very intimate friendship with Mohammed bin Abdul Wahhab of Najd. I launched a campaign of praising him everywhere. One day I said to him, you are greater than Umar and Ali. If the prophet were alive now, he would appoint you as his Khalifa instead of them. I expect that Islam will be renovated and improved in your hands.  Mohammed, the son of Abdul Wahhab and I decided to make a new interpretation of the Koran. This new interpretation was to reflect only our points of view and would be entirely contrary to those explanations made by the Sahaba. By the Imams of Madhabs and by the Mufassirs, the deeply learned scholars specialized in the explanation of the Koran. We were reading the Koran and talking on some of the ayat. My purpose in doing this was to mislead Mohammed. After all, he was trying to present himself as a revolutionist and would therefore accept my views and ideas with pleasure so that I should trust him all the more. On one occasion I said to him, Jihad, fighting, struggling for Islam, is not farred. He protested, why shouldn't it be, despite Allah's commandment, make war against unbelievers? I said, then why didn't the prophet make war against the Munafiqs, despite Allah's commandment, make Jihad against unbelievers and Munafiqs? The Ayat-e-Kerima quoted above commands to perform Jihad against unbelievers. It does not define the type of the Jihad to be performed. For Jihad against unbelievers must be performed by fighting and Jihad against Munafiqs is to be performed by preaching and advice. This Ayat-e-Kerima covers the types of Jihad. He said, the prophet made Jihad against them with his speech. I said, is the Jihad which is farred, commanded, the one which is to be done with one's speech? He said, Rasulullah made war against the unbelievers. I said, the prophet made war against the unbelievers in order to defend himself, for the unbelievers intended to kill him. He nodded. At another time, I said to him, Mutanika is permissible. He objected, no, it is not. I said, Allah declares, in return for the use you make of them, give them the meher you have decided upon. He said, Umar prohibited two examples of muta, practiced existent in his time and said he would punish anyone who practiced it. By the way, Mutanika is a temporary marriage of sorts, essentially a loophole to fornicate. I said, you both say that you are superior to Umar and follow him. In addition, Umar said he prohibited it, though he knew that the prophet had permitted it. Why do you leave aside the prophet's word and obey Umar's word? He did not answer. I knew that he was convinced. I sensed that Muhammad of Nudge desired a woman at that moment. He was single.  We will have a good time with them. He accepted with a nod. This was a great opportunity for me, so I promised to find a woman for him to amuse himself. My aim was to allay the timidity he had about people, but he stated it a condition that the matter be kept as a secret between us and that the woman not even be told what his name was. I hurriedly went to the Christian woman who had been sent forth by the Ministry of the Commonwealth with the task of seducing the Muslim youth there. So here the book alleges that not only British spies have been sent down to the Ottoman Empire and to Iraq, but moreover certain sex workers have been sent down to seduce the Muslim youth. I explained the matter to one of them. She accepted to help, so I gave her the nickname Safiyah. I took Muhammad of Najd to her house. Safiyah was at home alone. We made a one-week marriage contract for Muhammad of Najd, who gave the woman some gold in the name of Meher. Thus we began to mislead Muhammad of Najd, Safiyah from within and I from without. Muhammad of Najd was thoroughly in Safiyah's hands now. Besides, he had tasted the pleasure of disobeying the commandments of the Sharia under the pretext of freedom of each Dihad and ideas. The third day of the Mutanikah, I had a long dispute with him over that hard drinks were not Haram. Although he quoted many Ayat and hadith showing that it was Haram to have hard drinks, I canceled all of them and finally said, it is a fact that Yezid and the Umayyad and Abbasid Khalifas had hard drinks, where they all misprint people and you are the only adherent of the right way. They doubtlessly knew the Koran and the Sunnah better than you do. They inferred from the Koran and the Sunnah that the hard drink is Makrukh, not Haram. Also, it is written in Jewish and Christian books that alcohol is Mubah. All religions are Allah's commandments. In fact, according to a narrative, Umar had hard drinks until the revelation of the ayah. You have all given it up, haven't you? If it had been Haram, the prophet would have chastised him. Since the prophet did not punish him, hard drink is Halal. Muhammad of Najd said, according to some narratives, Umar drank alcoholic spirits after mixing it with water and said it was not Haram unless it had an intoxicating effect. Umar's view is correct, for it is declared in the Koran. The devil wants to stir up enmity and grudge amongst you and to keep you from doing dhikr of Allah and from namaz by means of drinks and gambling. You will give these up now, won't you? Alcoholic spirits will not cause the sins defined in the ayah when they do not intoxicate. Therefore, hard drinks are not Haram when they don't have an intoxicating effect. Sneaky, sneaky British spy. He continues, I told Safiyah about this dispute we had on drinks and instructed her to make him drink a very strong spirit. Afterwards, she said, I did as you said and made him drink. He danced and united with me several times that night. From then on Safiyah and I completely took control of Muhammad of Najd. In our farewell talk, the minister of the commonwealth had said to me, we captured Spain from the disbelievers. In his view, those are the Muslims by means of alcohol and fornication. Let us take all our lands back by using these two great forces again.  All right, that's it for today's video or rather today's little book club over here. I really want you to post in the comment section what you think about this because those are strong allegations of course. Here, the British spy, if he truly existed, alleges of course that they corrupted Muhammad Abdul Al-Wahab, that they corrupted him with alcohol, with fornication and it continues on with the corruption. Later in the book, we see that they have disputes about fasting and many other Islamic practices as well. So if this is the truth, this would be of course horrendous and shocking. However, if those are just fake allegations, it's even worse of course because this would be a atrocity to slander this man. Yet again, please let me know what you think about this in the comment section. Moreover, let me know as well if you like this format because I would like to proceed with this and I would read you a chapter or two of a book that I'm reading at the current time.
