What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth stands with India's protesting farmers, saying laws affecting them must not be imposed without their consent.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth turns to the farmers' protests in India, saying the issue has gripped the nation, and plays a news clip on police violence and internet shutdowns. Mufti says he stands with the farmers: whatever one thinks of the laws, the people affected must be involved, and imposing them is tyranny, adding that tyrants never think they are tyrants. He describes the backlash in India to Rihanna's tweet and Greta Thunberg's support, including people searching whether Rihanna is Muslim, and says celebrities such as Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn acted as lap dogs of the Modi government by posting identical tweets. He suggests incentivising the farmers and resolving the dispute through composed reason.

speaking about we need to take over the world and we need global domination and islam needs to rule all the world and we need to subjugate kuffar and so when i'm attacking them they contact him and he makes a post against me so at this time i was like why is this guy making a post so anyway i look into him that what's his connection and then i realize oh for god's sake this guy's a convicted terrorist himself so i then made a point of this i said look this is funny you're going to him because he himself is a convicted terrorist um you know and then so this was basically the essence the story of it
um but yeah right so uh let's move on people right i wanted to highlight as well the uh if i can here uh what's going on in india
so those of you that ain't familiar this whole tensions have been brewing massively rihanna had created some awareness about the farmer at the plight of the farmers
obviously he was offended but what isn't modi offended [Music] people watch this one all right
ah damn right so i just want to share my thoughts on this so if you do watch this just one moment [Music] because this has really become such a huge thing right now in india i would say it's almost really shaken the roots of the country because it began as something not so you know maybe or what's going on here and it's turned into something that has gripped the entire nation and india being who they are you know is this something that one can just ignore because there's been people there's fighting going on now there's been
cases violence has erupted police brutality they're beating up farmers they're doing all of these things yeah and farmers are the the the backbone of the country from an agricultural perspective of what they provide [Music] but check this out
[Music] [Music] [Music]
[Music] so [Music]
[Music] as you can see look a lot of brutality going on [Music]
foreign see they haven't even commented on the violence publicly they cut off the internet to stop [Music] transmission [Music]
wow [Music] right so that was an an overview there right now i personally i mean from what i uh know is that
let me just check something i'm just why is this mike giving a yep it's fine it's fine i just thought for a moment the mic wasn't the sound wasn't going through right so i um i do i stand with the farmers i feel that look you need to weather people look whether people agree or disagree in principle about certain um laws of economics you need to have the people that you're dealing with involved it is ultimately their land you know like even if certain like you're saying yeah but look trust me these laws are going to bring
about this change if that's the case then they should involve them you can't just you see tyranny dictatorship is not the solution but because you simply think you have what's best in mind for them uh you know i'm sure hitler thought what he had in mind was was best he didn't think you know they didn't think that they were doing they were tyrants tyrants never think that nobody thinks they were tyrant that's the amazing thing about tyranny on that note i don't know if you guys have watched that tv series tyrant it's actually
quite quite good but yeah so with rihanna having tweeted this caused so much of a stir in india so the hardliners were so against it they were like flipping out that oh my god who's this rihanna what does she you know how did because she's got what is it 100 million followers so and she has such a worldwide influence that people you know she's created such an international awareness now of these and then greta thundberg jumping on as well people were like who does this woman think she is and how dare she attack india and you know the the
right wing they just took it as a personal offense and then the funny thing is that many of them thought she was a muslim [Laughter] because they thought that look her name is rihanna i suppose it is kind of rihanna i assume her name is but it must be a like a variation because many african-americans have muslim kind of heritage names like jamal or sabrina or these kind of names you often hear of them anyways so but regardless they thought acha cha her
name is reihana because rehan is also a common name in india with muslim women and then in some of her pictures she is she is she she's wearing a hijab because of advertising so they obviously got these pictures and oh rihanna oh muslim oh hijab oh anti modi so uh yeah so this whole thing
um it just blew up so if you see the amount of searches that happened in the recent um days in india about israel muslim so this is what they were searching online it was one of the highest google searches so there's this backlash the government told people to kind of refute her so they try to ask celebrities and it's so funny because some of the celebrities in india are proper like lap dogs for the modi government and amongst them people like akshay kumar aj devgan these people it's a shame really because you know i generally do like aj devkin but
he's he as well is proper like a you know when it comes to nationalist kind of propaganda so that they were using the i they were using identical tweets okay can you believe that like they so celebrities gonna send something as a message as i think this is and it's exactly the same thing other word for word i mean it's verbatim it's just they've just been sent instructions and they've just tweeted it so yeah and that got caught out you know a lot of people were saying that look this is dumb you know you guys are just we've lost respect for you and but i do stand in solidarity with the farmers and
you know the people of punjab in saying look you know this this is wrong even if you have something good to offer them but it should only be done with a mutual understanding and mutual consent and arriving at some something mutually accepted otherwise it's just you know despotic kind of tyranny that's all it is so yeah that's that's what i uh
that's what i think anyway so cool i want to do a piece on that just share my thoughts that you know may allah make things easy for anybody who's struggling worldwide cool somebody asked give punjab to pakistan you don't need to give punjab anywhere okay just just respect the people at the end of the day it's their land you know they're working hard and they've got a problem haven't they because they're telling you that we're not doing this because we're going to lose money so either if you want to make the deal happen
put things in place that will ensure that they get more money incentivize it for them i mean what's this it's common sense really you know a lot of things in life can be resolved just through cool composed reason so right now i don't know somebody said yes
[Laughter] despotic sometimes the words just come to me it's just blame just put it on my uh my insanity tab right there was a question um what's your thoughts on the red pill movement that's popular amongst men nowadays they talk about female nature hype
