I see saracen much love for the Super Chat I'm at work so I'm throwing in my two cents all right there you go throw them in throw me what's your views on Andrew Tate's conversion do you think Islam is now becoming a Haven for those who are frustrated with culture War the monosphere laughs

0:31

I'm not sure I've come across that term come on what are my thoughts on Andrew Tate's conversion to Islam you see faith is for each and all and it is a person's personal Journey it is ultimately a road to God and it's not really for anyone to

1:08

it's not anyone's place to really even have something to say about it in that sense it's a person's personal Journey that as far as Iman and faith is concerned so anybody and everybody is welcome to the Caravan of faith and specifically or particularly the Caravan of Islam so whoever Embraces the faith and may Allah you know

1:46

may Allah soften and guide their hearts and allow them to be a beacon of light for others as well so that goes without saying that would also apply to Andrew Tate or anyone that Embraces Islam yeah I mean that said I'd right so Andrew Tate is obviously a very controversial personality um absolutely

2:25

adored and by some and loathed and hated by others to me I you see this there's things about him that obviously I can understand uh how they trigger people and there's things about him that I feel he does he's making a valid point on certain things he's saying um obviously he's you see his whole character is provocative in and of itself but he unquestionably is a marketing genius you know the guy is I think anybody that undermines his

3:02

genius is I mean whether you do or not it's irrelevant because he is a marketing genius it's a bit he's in some ways in that respect a bit like how Shahrukh Khan uh in in the Bollywood thing wasn't just it wasn't just his acting but he was a marketing genius um what he did and the contracts he tied himself into uh and how he introduced them into the whole Bollywood sphere I suppose maybe many people ain't aware of that but that was his actual genius it wasn't his it just his acting

3:39

but similarly or in in that parallel what Andrew Tate has done is he's just projected himself onto the world and then beat this algorithm in the sense that he is everywhere I do agree with certain things that he States about you see he is highlighting this what he refers to as the Matrix um or the powers that be it is true that

4:16

they do not want men to be unruly you see I and I feel that this point of his I don't know whether people get it or not but I feel he's making a valid point here that he's stating that because what he's trying to Hype up is the the manliness of man but he's also stating that there's a reason why people don't want you to be like be very manly you'll be

4:53

very uh drawn towards these ideals that men have this thing where they should be protectors and they should because it's not these words are nice words nobody has a problem with these words that men should be protectors or providers or you know but it's that this archetype is nested in other things which even if you're not saying it but they are the subtext so you see for meant to be for example the protectors they need to be um there needs to be aggression they need to carry aggression within them

5:31

even if in the words of Jordan Peterson they don't exercise it but they need to have it they need to have the potentiality to be dangerous they need to and these things it is true that and I do feel this was the reason he was canceled I don't agree with the cancellation of canceling or you know de-platforming and rotate and I do feel that the reason he was canceled was not because of misogyny and stuff like this I feel that that people who believe that are incredibly naive I mean in my perspective I feel they've

6:11

just taken a naive lower you know the kind of lower fruits that are hanging to them and they think ah the world cares yeah the world does not you know these conglomerates and the powers that run these institutions they do not care about him calling women holes or doing things like this or they don't care rap music is full of this you know the internet is full of these things they genuinely do not care about this stuff although that is perhaps the the

6:49

the pretext that they presented in de-platforming him in saying that the reason that their de-platforming is because he's misogynistic and that's and you know maybe he's racist or maybe his uh homophobic or maybe he's these things I don't think these were they don't in this is my opinion I could be wrong I don't think they honestly could care and if they do care about that that's potentially that would not be above one to two percent of the reason why they did this the reason is that he's dangerous

7:28

he's not dangerous for the reasons that people think he's dangerous like people think he's dangerous because he's making people misogynistic sure he may be but that's not the reason why he's dangerous to those people to the powers he's dangerous because if he stirs this Spirit of this this kind of this audacious dangerous man

7:57

every things could easily lose control like it doesn't like let's say honestly it doesn't it would take let's say you are just 5 000 people 5 000 men in a country that became incredibly unruly just five thousand that is enough to potentially create chaos you see danger always comes from Men there's no mistake about that I mean for the most part people who will get it people who will fight who will kill who will be involved in serious crime who

8:35

will run all kinds of criminal syndicates people who all these people will be men people who rise with rebellions people who will protest and dangerously people who will overthrow governments people these people are always for the most part are always men so it is in the interest of kind of passivity and this this of keeping things maintaining the order that men more and more gradually remain that that they become more and more

9:13

emasculated that is more a power of politics of power because you don't want like let's be honest you don't want men if you're ruling places or you're that wealthy to be of that nature because that that's a huge problem because people like that you can't control them and if you do control them you just have to throw them in prisons and you have to just and everything it's not just prisons but the whole like I said you know a few thousand men like that are enough to cause chaos in an entire country of millions and millions of people that's all it would take

9:52

so he will Andrew Tate was doing was he was bringing a spark to that Spirit that's very dangerous for the powers that be this is why countries like China agreed to be de-platforming do you really think Tick Tock who gives kids what Facebook dictates to it no and they could not care about misogyny or about these other things but it's that they don't want that happening in China they don't want people kind of rising

10:30

with this Spirit of uh but we're just a tough Spirit of rebelliousness because that it's it's always a problem you see it is right throughout human history and existence that the indomitable spirit is a problem for the powers that be so in so that that's my summary of Andrew Tate as to him becoming Muslim look he is incredibly he's at a stage where look my a great percentage of the world hate

11:07

him and if they call him misogynistic and he's over sexualized and he's all these kind of things so him jumping on to the Islam you know Caravan at this stage you know I don't you know faith is open for all nobody can say yes or no to that but is that a good thing for Islam overall time will tell not every person who comes to Islam does Islam good you know many people have done Islam a lot of harm as well so when a person has that reputation of being misogynistic

11:47

and being this and then he jumps to Islam will such a person just go on to use Islam to justify that let's say misogyny and that kind of talk and that kind of stuff and thereby and Islam already has that reputation amongst many people unfortunately wrongfully but it has that reputation so does this is this something to jump up and down and celebrate I don't know about celebrating it in that sense I I wouldn't be jumping up and down in that kind of uh celebratory manner but to me it would be like okay the faith is for everyone

12:27

but is there going to be some good out of this or is this going to do Islam a lot of harm time will tell and I guess we're just ambivalent about it but yeah I know a lot of people were getting really excited uh saying oh my God Andrew James become Muslim I mean the thing is many of these people themselves will be chucking him out of Islam given a few you know maybe 12 months I don't know if you've seen this clip there's a clip of him where he's sitting with his brother Christian and they're at some cafe or something

13:04

and he's asking Christian to pay because he says he's forgotten his wallet and they're having this thing that he says well why should I pay you know you always make me pay and he says because I um uh he says because I am I am the caliph he says I am the caliph of tatistan and I am now Muslim and you are do you he says do you Embrace Islam he's saying this to his brother in the recording and he says no and he says well then you know you live under my caliphate in tatistan and you must therefore pay the jizier you have to pay me a tax as a non-muslim Infidel living

13:43

under my so I get it he's joking I mean but but a lot more of this is probably going to come so so all these people that are going on uh is he yeah I think another problem is we as Muslims are often we you know we're very insecure about our faith so we need people like we love it when people Embrace and I get that you know that is amazing uh absolutely that people embrace the faith but sometimes it's more as a members

14:23

club that we just want to show off oh my God this guy's a Muslim now so I would say look his his faith is between him and God we wish him the best we pray that maybe Islam can Rectify certain you know these these issues that he was that this baggage he was carrying and may he be a light for other people you know may Allah bless him to be able to do that and protect us from any harm that may be coming this way as a consequence as well

15:01

because people forget that as well there may be a lot of not everybody who comes to Islam does it well many people have brought Islam a lot of harm okay so let's keep that in mind I've said this before previously that in the west there is unfortunately a culture war that is pitting men against women and this should never be the case okay never men and women we complement one another we you know it is it is the the kind of

15:36

the energy that that is brought by both men and women it synergizes into an unfathomable and unbelievable Majestic Force which is a blessing from Oswald now along the way we can find sometimes toxic elements and we can find toxic elements in both we can find it in women we can find this that the person in the question said that people but we find it in men as well men are abusive men treat also you know there will be some men that will treat women like trash and

16:16

there will be some women that will treat men like trash but we what we cannot be a party to this okay do not allow even you know sometimes okay joking aside you know things and I get it sometimes people make certain things and they make even if they have valid points in some things but don't allow yourself to ever be cut to be brought into this this kind of culture war between the genders in saying well you know men are all like this or women are all like this that is not the way of

16:55

Islam okay so it is not the and and we have to remember this is important Muslim you know a lot of this that people say about Sometimes women in the west and Muslim women are still they still have a considerable amount of these you know of that kind of cultural ethic and the the the sensitivities that people for example are complaining about when it comes to other women that Muslim women are often not like I I don't mean there will never be

17:35

any people but they're still not like that so when people are saying oh women for example oh they don't uh you know they they let's say they don't they refuse to do anything at home or they refuse this often isn't the case with Muslims cultures sure there may be some discussion but it isn't as the way you you what you may be finding this problem in some of society at large so don't mistake the equation as Muslims a lot of these things are our problems

18:12

are not actually problems yet within the Muslim communities to that scale anyway they're not so don't be kind of fighting that battle but over here where it's not even a battle it's not even a thing I hope that makes some sense
