did and we want to thank our audience for tuning in we want to continue to share with you what we think is some very important information in regards to the present political climate today and social clim today and dealing with it in america and the world one of the things that we discussed in our last show was about the height that has been put out in the public through the media in terms of what islam is and everything that we've been told that islam is a really a radical religion radical views radical thing they mention term l  a mosque on sacred ground that the muslims attacked america and they want to build a muslim mosque and nine eleven all these things we feel not only are not true but  specifically designed to incite hatred and enmity between people to continue to divide polarize the american mindset and when you really think about it the oldest trick in the book is divide and conquer so we're here to say that anybody who is seriously thinking about these issues go to the source and get your information and stop depending on these middlemen these used car salesman type people to explain what islam is i don't care how credible they claim to be how much research they claim to have done  yourself go to the source and now what is the source the source is the holy koran this is the book of the muslims from all over the entire world is the holy koran and the brother gone get a camera shot of it right now so you make no mistake about it that's the holy koran they come in different colors in different sizes but it's basically the holy  read it for yourself you don't need to get anybody help you read it just pick it up go to the store go to the library were ever start from the beginning the only thing we as muslims ask you to do when you're involved with the holy qur'an because we do believe it is the sacred word of god the word of allah is to wash your hands before you read it and to never ever take it in the bathroom and read this what we ask you to do and just by yourself start reading it from the first chapter on and if you get into some get up get a qur'an open this now just to show you would have me say this qur'an has your english right here the translation it says in arabic over here but down here at the bottom you'll see it has footnotes these footnotes are very helpful if you get you know stuck on a pardon may seem strange to you or whatever then you go to the footnote and give you more explanation but the point i'm trying to make is that if you read it you would be shocked you will say i didn't know that was in the qur'an how do you know the qur'an said then then you'll start to question i have suspicions about these people coming on the news and the media talking about islam is this an islamist you will also begin to see a lot of the verses that they use to justify their prejudice points of view are taken out of context because if you read the verse before the verse they quote in the the other thing that we discuss that we want to follow up on is that where the muslims who don't believe like the terrorist believe who don't believe like the radicals believe where are those muslims and where is their voice and where was their voice when all these radical things were taking place a lot of times we hear people say why don't you speak in up against it you say that's not brothers showing you now a newspaper called the muslim during the first paper has as its caption nine eleven religious leaders gather at dallas masted to call for unity and i read the caption on the bottom it says muslims christians and jews in texas come together to denounce stereotype this didn't just start yesterday this didn't just start at ad nine eleven or after nine eleven this is been going on all the time in the paper comes every week now how come that hasn't been we haven't heard about that on the media but they'll put every radical person up there that's got a coffee on or arab dress on or some people who have just about aband religion put women up there on half naked calling themselves muslims to make to turn this thing into some kind of joke but this is not a joke unfortunately for those who want to make it a joke it's not a joke this is real and what is the reality of it is that we believe just like christians believe and just like jews believe that the holy books guidance for mankind that was given to us believe that these books were sent down to special people that god chose to be his messengers his representatives in terms of demonstrating and delivering his message we believe that and there's only one guy we all agree on that there's only one god in all of these messages and one similar courted so i'm go go to one of them you know i think we're saying there's always the talk about where's the moderate voice of islam and it's there but we haven't seen it and it is a man one of the voices you don't hear about him a lot in the media and he's been around for a decade given the proper view of this law taking us out of just rituals the putting it into something that it has some substance to it never hear his voice hardly on the radio or the t v unless we promote it ourselves so this is one of the moderate voices of islam and what we'd like to do is put his voice  we believe that even the creation story of creation of man is really focusing on the value of the human brain when god said to to the man that he created adam and tell the any muslims over here before her are they were always here introducing islam into the african american community before nine hundred thirty stories he was afraid of that and he told my father he said never accept that the teach you you teach your people he was making a new people a new muslim an independent muslim he also he also  said don't you teach them the crowd he said when the time come your children will learn the koran and he said they will teach you to say they can get it fast brother i'm calling my father he said they can get that young man and they will be able to get  you can become yourself both gone bad trouble in your life as a people are bad trouble in your personal life that you will become unhealthy enunciating to do injustice by other human beings do like a documentary or a show so the people know the people said the people said well will will people be interested you know because there's a moderate voice that i was looking for but you know it wasn't the high you know the hour raw and all the hype and all that other stuff that was real a moderate voice a soothing voice and teligent voice given you the proper picture is but he was saying he it was hard for him to try to convince the producers to do that stereotype when we're talking about muslims we're not talking about you niggas we're talking about dignifying real muslims from overseas now are you guys you blacks you just johnny come lately you really don't know anything about religion so we don't really count you anyway so they never say that openly or profoundly but in their practices that with the economy you know we'll let you come on to speak which you know you know  you know overseas and and you know they you know i'm i'm sure they're trying to talk and give their could buy the best they can but you know how relevant it is to us in america i don't know and then some of we all don't want to uplift this flag that's all right i'm going to uplift this and this was in like nineteen seventy six or nine hundred seventy eight and then like you say here come the johnny come lately and you know we can get a person in our community to  give the address sermon whatever you want to call it you know it's always somebody will receive and i hate to say it you know they're not most time they're really not talking about anything you know last it celebrating other brother was talking i wanted that one the one before that he was taught anything really wasn't talking about anything of a whole lot of substance you know so it's it's it's i don't know just just it does make you wonder like to a list of rituals rather than the important role that religion plays like a member home was saying it in your private life as well as your public life and to understand rituals without doing the rituals without understanding it is just like superstition you know rabbit will give you good luck for lack criss crossing your path give you bad luck don't walk on the latter it gives you bad luck these are just this is a superstition nobody everyday life so we live our everyday life with the mores and the influence of western society which promotes secularism what i mean by secular is don't involve  god in what you do just get out to go to work go shopping come home send your kids to school don't bring god in it you know this is a secular society you want to bring god and that's your personal private experience of this thing in show for some and unfortunately is for the same lack is for the majority but there is that minority who don't see it that way so we tried to influence society with uplifting concepts so that all humanity can benefit much more would that we'd like to talk about but i want to reiterate if you really want to know what islam is all about they read the koran for yourself and if you get stuck then you might your help you get through a difficult part but have not read it for yourself and also read the history of prophet muhammad for yourself for your own personal self and you will be shocked in amaze at the truth that would jump out at you we want to thank you for watching and hope that this program will continue to promote peace understanding and togetherness of all human beings irregardless of labels regardless of color regardless of sex irregardless
