alikum folks you know with a lot that's going on on the political Horizon all this racism islamophobia attacks rioting I wanted to say that it's very important that as Muslims first of

0:40

all we remain Resolute we do remain Vigilant that we safegard we have our um critical awareness you know that people do at times where there is this rioting it's really um incredible to see the the Muslim peaceful counter protests and the kind of uh defending of those neighborhoods that they've done in a

1:18

very peaceful Islamic manner to see that and that is critical but also to remember that two key things one that we you see it's it's always unfair against Muslims if people start appearing in a negative light you know as if we are Hooligans if we start appearing like

1:56

that that's exactly what the media wants to that will justify to these people their rioting they'll say this is the problem you see you can take eight months of peaceful protests that Muslims and non-muslims have been doing for Gaza for Palestine contrast that with this one week of hooliganism thuggery racism smashing shops attacking

2:34

minorities ethnics any people of color you know uh destroying cars attacking just just this kind of bigotry and fascism anybody and everybody can see it attacking hotels misinformation fake news you know just Nazi uh [Music] propaganda so it's always very important to remember that it's always unfair against Muslims like if Muslims had been doing even a portion of this can you imagine the out

3:11

raw I mean let's face it if Muslims had come out like this and they and we never should but if they had God forbid the whole thing would have been shut down within you know within hours really I don't think it would have gone beyond one two days they would have locked it off completely so never to fall into that trap of mimicking of reacting with thuggery that is not the example of Islam so that's something very crucial the second most crucial point is amidst

3:49

this Mayhem we can sometimes forget or it becomes clouded that this is actually a few rotten apples the majority of the people are not like that don't fall into this hate propaganda that oh people that are white are all racist or people that it's not true you know this this is you're going to see a lot of people condemning this they're coming out on these talk shows coming out on news channels they're commenting on social media that not in

4:28

my name so to keep in mind that this is a few rotten apples it always is you know it's a silent sorry it's a it's a loud minority of people who often have no achievement in life and have got their own crisis going on and then they you know wreaking havoc so these things are really important to keep in mind I wanted to share that and a final

5:03

message that our message as Muslims as human beings as British people our message is one of humanity and love love must always preponderate don't let these people win by taking away your smile don't don't let them do that smile you know spread it must be light and
