it would be amazing if let's say jordan peterson embraced islam obviously that would be like whoa i didn't see that coming but you know i doubt it that's given the current if series of events that that's really on his current agenda but islam we don't need people to embrace it to feel good about islam islam is not about feeling good to start off with it is a faith it carries you if you need it validated then you already have a problem with your faith

0:38

and you need to d you need to take that up somehow you need to deal with it by me thinking you know oh if you know i don't know if will smith became muslim then i would feel really good about islam or if you know i don't know bachchan decided to become muslim i mean sure you know if these people become muslim alhamdulillah you know and this is a deen of mercy love and compassion but but i don't we don't need to be trying to feel good and we don't need people to validate our

1:18

faith and let's just be honest let's be honest now this is a bitter truth if somebody like jordan peterson became muslim and anybody that's watched jordan peterson knows the kind of person he is i think he's an amazing individual now he's currently a christian and have you heard him speak how he speaks about christianity he doesn't speak like you're common christian he doesn't speak he speaks all about metaphorical truths and he speaks all about these kind of metaphysical kind of substrate of messages and how these are anchored in i mean his way of understanding religion is is very jungian

1:57

okay and i admire young kalyan and i you know admire that i'm in fact currently still going through one of my diplomas uh or brief diploma in in junior psychology but look let's be honest if somebody like jordan peterson embraced islam within a year or forget a year within a short span of time he would be called a kafir by most muslims because they're going to say well sorry you know he's not part of this sect and i mean at first they'll just celebrate it and be really happy and it'll validate them then afterwards

2:35

they'll say well you know he's not upon the correct man you know it's not then they'll excuse him for a little while until because he's the new convert and he's excusable and he's the the token popular white guy so they'll use him but then when he starts to have opinions of his own about islam first of all they'll you know as they say you take him by the hand and you give nasser

3:08

you know you do not you are not one of this tongue i'm afraid you cannot have an opinion on islam but then when he starts to have a few opinions then he'll be like brother you need to you need to change your name to abu uh and with all these extra vowels and you need to start wearing a hat on your head and you need to oh you don't pray every day

3:36

and then within a short span of time he'll be called as zindik and then a murtad and then a munafir and then so what it let's be honest i i i heard about allahu alam who's the other who's that what was his name that is it something lame was it william what was his name there's a this person popular person embraced islam and he's got one two snippets of amazing um you know he's saying stuff uh saying amazing things about the quran and and then

4:16

i heard that's it william lane craig and and i and he's nowhere to be seen now where is he nobody can get hold of him why because muslims just shut him down as soon as he started talking about islam he started to have a few opinions you're deviant zindiq apostate kafir murthad and so i think we need to stop fetishizing the uh oh no not sorry jeffrey lang why not not really sorry sorry people i'm not i'm in a bit of a a brain fog i stand corrected it's

4:55

jeffrey lange jeffrey lang sorry not william lane craig that's the christian one jeffrey lange yes so he's nowhere to be seen because as soon as he started to express opinions we so we have to deal with ourselves i mean
