What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenQadhi's clip calls a hidden tribe of billions ludicrous and floats, through a friend, the idea that Gog and Magog could be zombie-like humans. Mufti Abu Layth responds with jokes and introduces Qadhi's answer to the Google Earth objection.
In more detail
In the clip Qadhi says it is ludicrous for any rational mind to believe that billions of people are somewhere in today's world clawing away under the earth, and offers a theory he attributes to a friend in a private conversation: that the popular imagination's genre of zombie horror, humans who are not quite human, makes more sense than a billion people hidden in some far-away land, perhaps involving some type of virus or vaccine, and that he projects it onto his friend so that the audience's laughter will slowly turn to contemplation. Mufti Abu Layth supplies running jokes, calling the zombies the z monsters, linking the clip to the coronavirus and China, and joking that the idea makes sense only once LSD has kicked in. He then says that was Qadhi, and introduces another piece in which Qadhi is asked how one can believe the hadith when Google Earth has mapped the whole world, saying that since he has brought Qadhi in as a tag team partner it is only fair to give back as well as take.

was it that there are billions of people somewhere in today's world clawing away so honestly tell you this is something that i am involved in many discussions of this nature with many people and what not and one of my scholarly so he says that this to posit this is as far as he's concerned it's just kind of ludicrous to assume that a bunch of people are under the earth somewhere millions or a billion of them just living there this is ridiculous why because we can see the world we can see the earth this is just crazy he then goes on to
posit a different theory which is slightly more entertaining man be friends in a private conversation so whatever you will and we're talking about this problematize it is a problem well it's a problem for any rational mind what are you going to do with the major it's not if you look at the popular imagination of our times you find a genre of literature and horror movies oh what horror movies man the walking dead so he's going to he's speaking about zombies now you see where this is heading [Music]
where is it heading don't call them that word for those who don't know the word maybe the youngest can tell them later on the word is the z word people we say the z monsters will land on us and eat us so happy people are human but not quite human allah frankly frankly it makes more sense than believing that a billion people are somewhere in timbuktu so it makes
more sense believing in zombies than it does in people let's say ya judgment being under the globe or zimbabwe or or some far away land it makes more sense to me anti-virus some type of vaccine [Music] is corona is this where it's all happening people oh yeah oh my god and they come corona came from china corona came from china the big wall is in china and yeah these chinese these chinese
i knew it these majors are chinese china virus this is china virus this is yatjuj majut people yeah jewish matuj my laughter turned to a serious contemplation and i said but how do we tell the public this then i said i'll just project it on to my friend which it is see so he is brought into this true it is coming from him and i'll take myself out the picture so that as you laugh you laugh at my friend but the laughter will slowly turn to contemplation and deep down inside you'll realize this makes a lot more sense
see so you will as you stop laughing you'll realize yeah zombies actually does make sense man it actually does you know you realize that zombies make sense you also realize that damn the lsd has definitely kicked in the zombies make sense but so does that but why is that dragon staring at me [Laughter] zombies definite yeah zombies definitely make sense
but why am i floating in a pink cloud [Laughter] i gotta learn these han han gestures than anything else out there so people that was our beloved as you could see right there now just to give you an example here is another interesting piece man interesting piece from the below it himself so if somebody were to say how can we believe these are hadith when google earth has mapped the whole world google his own in and see everything
around us and there is no massive land hidden from mankind the responses you see people the issue the issue man is that because i bought in yasir khadi as a tag team it's only fair it's only fair you know where you give you must take as well oh where you take you must give as well so it's only fair that to to assist yasir khadi i also give him back
[Music] so let me see so this is the question that yes posed but we've traveled back in time and yes of course everything around us and there is no massive land hidden from mankind the responses
