want to open up short to go for well we chose that name basically because looking at the situation in the world it was being done about it seems to be  lack of power brokers getting involved and doing anything about some of the stupid stuff that is happening in the world what i mean by stupid stuff i mean tragically stupid stuff gets humanity and so as a muslim as a christian and as a jew as anybody with a human mud a right minded person we're looking for remedies to come from these wells of knowledge and information you know we're looking for a remedy somebody said well i'm sick well where do you go to get well you go to the hospital you go to the doctor you go to the pharmacist and so here we had these books these great books out here you know we had the holy koran for muslims so i've been a muslim muslims all of us here we can just talk from from the holy koran how does the holy koran address some of this is a lack of participation and this is from sewer ninety ballarat or the city and i'll just read a few verses says i do call to witness the city and there are a free man of the city and the mystic ties of parent and child verily we have created man into tall and struggle thinking of he that no has power over him he may say boastfully worth have i squandered in abundance i think if he there are none behold him now we not made for him a pair of eyes and a steep it is freeing the slave or the giving of food in a day of privation to the orphan who claims a relationship or to indigent down in the dust then will he be of those who believe and enjoy and patience constancy and self restraint and enjoined deeds of kindness and compassion such other companions are there right here but those who reject our signs there the unhappy companions of the left here on them will be fire vaulted over all around now this is just twenty verses this is just chapter nineteen chapter ninety the city in it very clearly explains what the duties are of those who want to claim righteousness very clearly explains that and one of the first duties is the freeing of the slave so now let me read to footnote on there would i think is very good foot knows when it talks are given for our understanding freeing the slave them one feeding the wharf and number two and feeding the indigent down in the dust as regards the slave we are to understand not only a reference to legal slavery but many other kinds of slavery which flourishes especially in advance the sideways there is political slavery industrial slavery and social slavery there is the slavery of conventions of ignorance and of superstitions there is slavery to worth or passions or power the good man tries to liberate men and women but all kinds of slavery offered a great danger to himself but he begins by first liberating himself so i this is tom did the type of slavery that exist today unfortunately even though what we call slavery in america has been over with this still part of the world which is slavery just like that so my point and i had this book for years hundreds of years don't seem to understand that we are obligated to move against what's wrong in the how do you say is clearly he says is when you see a role move against it stop it then he explains one of the three ways that we go about stopping it or fighting against wrong one is with the head physically the about but the irreverence of this but the point is that as basically for african americans being new muslims i was say on the scene and we look around and we say ok why do we have muslim countries fighting against other muslim countries and i'm not talking about two evenly matched countries i'm talking about one  country in particular saudi arabia that has financial resources and huge military jump on a little muslim country yemen and the situation is so bad now that it talk about this is one of the greatest cholera outbreaks in history and and i don't hear as i say our facebook cricket's all his cricket i don't hear nothing from the quote unquote muslim world speaking out against this when it's clear in the qur'an to talk about don't be divided in a way to solve your or something and i have somebody there comes a front of my face representing himself as a scholar right and every time he opens his mouth in english he got to say it in arabic and i suppose impress me like oh he knows arabic i mean i'm supposed to be all by this person and all they teach me or tell me or talk about is what side the bed prophet muhammad slept on or if you go into the mass did you step in with your right foot you  saying never anything dealing with current events and i'm amazed i'm appalled at that and to come in as an african american coming from the struggle to liberate ourselves as human beings and to be recognized as human beings with the koran teaches us that we are human beings every soul is born human being noble coming from all of that past that we have come through to slavery then coming to find out that most of our ancestors were muslims you know but the most glaring example is saudi arabia right now then we have israel in palestine not only are there christian palestinians they're muslim palestinians and people say is an open air prison basically over there but what i'm trying to get the point i'm trying to get to is why is it that people who are supposed to have the cure and the answer or depiction of that and i kind of wanted to show it here so because you know shown it is worth more than talking about it you know and so i was like i put on this here and somebody told me this is saw and they were talking about muslim scholars like you know disc this first their blood but the glasses is just a scar thing you know it's so i don't see nothing now either my blindness is deliberate or i've been blinded and so what i'm saying is that we should question and we should question those who call themselves leaders as to why we're not leading following the leadership of prophet mohammed i just want to do this for effect to this is this is been my experience this is been my experience in you know i'm using the which is called a women and it talks about fighting and why we should fight and you know that's a very tricky word to come to most of the time of fighting you know because of this whole terrorism thing you know so we want to make sure we can corral that word in to give this proper place but  ill treated and oppressed men women and children whose cry is our lord rescue us from this town whose people are all pressers and raise for about them and the next verse says those who believe fight in the cause of our love and those who reject faith fight in a cause of evil so fight  against the friends of satan the will indeed is the cutting of satan and so so no words belief is connected with standing up for words right standing  but we have to take a stand the believers are obligated to take a stand man effect this one of the that's one of the prerequisites for being a believer you've got to take a stand and so i'm just like to call is mental masturbation you know we you know we get off but there's no real woman there you know when we have it you know who he's a great shaker he's called the deaf dumb and blind panic somebody help me out here with some comments one of the things and wise one wise man once said that when you deal with these people that they're either trying to free you make you their slave just you know on a personal level but then like so you look at these governments you know saudi arabia big nine yemen and so forth and so on and no one saying anything about it and then you have in china you have all these muslims are being you know locked up they're trying to change them from being muslim so they'll just you know worship the state support the state and nobody say anything about that so you've got a lot you know you've got people like you say the stand up for you know human human dignity so i know i don't know if it wasn't for the way i came to islam i don't know if i would have come to islam and trying to stick it out that way so you see some of these shakes and they talk all this flowery stuff but you know when you get down to it they haven't really haven't really you know really turned a page in helping humanity just you know that i'm so superior i know this and that and so forth and then you ask him a question and you know  but he was going along with the prince and what they were doing and from what i watched about it when he turned on when he started writing instead that's when they came against  you know but i think with his what he was protesting was like civil liberties you know so and the thing with yemen is you see they don't put that in the media you know general concept of islam the way it's been presented to us in terms of like we got a ex black panther here x nation of islam x nation of islam person you know you know a new convert so to speak but at the same time all african americans we have a history of being oppressed you know so what do you think about how it's presented in general that affects that well depends who is presenting it to you i think sometimes when people get it they feel that they have to get into a turban throw dress that arabs fourteen hundred years ago  think they have to you know become more of a of that particular culture and then actually you know the three religions so it's it's like you've left one plantation to go to another  plantation and it doesn't really address some of them you know they talk about some of the scholars they really don't there's some good scholars out there but there are some do you know they come we listen to them speak and it's like man you ain't said nothing that we've been through more stuff than what you're  so if we're not about in the business of because i want one of the models of community issues group is to promote the promotion to guard work for and promote the human person so if they're not talking about seven like that then you know it's really not really i think you know beneficial in the least to me and if you're not doing anything in the community and you know what do you do and just something when i'm thinking about it you talk about these different quote so called muslim countries saudi arabia turkey and all these other ones it's interesting though that of all the problems that america has it's the best place to practice islam how islam because no one's going to really come in there and tell you how to do you could and so for some of these other countries you know faith you know there we understand that there are people who don't understand islam they've got a bad you know understanding and they think all the negative things and you know we have to do education on that but as far as the current you know you basically you can you know practice your faith and i said you know we know this is where sisters are being attacked and so for and so on but there are ways to do it like on this t v program what a vehicle going to go to this night meet with muslims where two muslim sisters develop this thing to go to the churches break bread with the church people and let them know about islam not trying to pound the denim but you just want to have a basic understanding because where muslims are like you know they're doing more work than the so called scholars scholars they just you know run and run in their mouth when sometimes people ask and some of the darndest question i think of where did you go get your islam from you know even the people who asked the question it's like what do you know what you can be led any which way you know and that's what i hear that we have you know he used to be a critical thinker you know if you don't agree with him do some critical thinking but some people the everybody's looking for a messiah and that you know there's one person to do it and one of the things that we asked i don't know if you were there i asked you ma'am what would you know what should we do as far as leadership when you pass away i understanding you know you know use your best intellect that god gave you ray and go from there but you know you've got some people you know they just think we're going to have this leader or look at this they're waiting for something to come down on a cloud you know they're waiting for christ jesus to come down muslims christians everything and christ is already in you got to have somebody tell me to get up in the morning go to the bathroom shave and put butter on my toes and that's my leader to cation when in the book it's that he looked different in that yes and there's a whole there's a whole story with that that too so in other words a leadership you know when you know the leadership you have to america muslims from other countries are trying to integrate into the society in the culture and you see a lot of like this what you were saying about  lee how he is the type of characters that given him the play and he's except in those characters and i was watching a video and they were talking about actors  apps and it was saying that they will take those characters by like a gay character and that's why they kind of they're not in the lot of movies anymore what they were saying is if if you don't take what they give you then they're not going to offer you roles anymore and i see that in the greater muslim community that they're trying to integrate so you see a lot of  this not islam and they're doing you know we're going to thirty seconds we have thirty seconds exactly say this if you want to know about what's going on in america about would muslim journalism excellent
