2:58

i was on a a group called i think it was they had on a group called kr knowledge revival knowledge revival yeah you guys invited me to knowledge revival i came to knowledge revival and they called him to knowledge revival and what they did was uh let me just take this what what they did was

3:37

they were preparing the d thou man was giving the but the question was that between the d and the d there's a link but who's this missing d who's the missing link so who leaked the emails who was leaking the emails years passed by nobody so sure who leaked the email

4:15

allah allah it appears here you know is it well [Music] [Applause] [Laughter]

5:01

it transpires people that behind all these d's was gangu delhi with the big g this one this one so it now appears you see oh no all right now that wrong one there right we've got his uh let me just bring up his emails so it's been recently a sheikh ismail patel he revealed he revealed how many bills

5:44

[Music] so let me can you see these this right here is the transcript to the emails people that you can see that are on ismail patel's facebook page where he's showing the emails between him he's finally only revealed them this week where he's speaking back and forth to gangutili and he's kind of apologizing but at the same time saying

6:21

i was in touch with a really big this is another one where he's saying i was in touch with a really this academic one of uk's finest academics and guess who this academic is people because at this stage you're probably thinking who is this academic the academic that he's speaking about is abdulrahman hassan [Laughter]

6:55

[Music] abdul rahman was this great academic so he was sharing them with him as you can see here is part of an email that once again i do apologize to you for the mess fareed [Music] full name gangutili full name alhaja what's this one huh

7:30

[Laughter] i couldn't help it people i couldn't help it i had to i had to do this okay but this [Music] i didn't realize he was khajah

8:03

[Music] so right here anyway coming back to uh these emails you've got it was leaked you've got hajja does bring it back in here he owns up this did make me think actually was that what the ts stood for in his ts [Laughter] in 90.

8:45

so all this fitna all this drama come on like think about it we're thinking you know yes really dug such a deep hole that a portion of the ummah has drowned that's we hear reports people have apostasized they've had doubts in islam they've you know they've done all of this who was behind this i would never have thought it was our very own our very own goody oh my god

9:23

honestly i i i haven't lost for words i might have lost for words here this whole fitna was created by [Laughter] what the hell was he trying to do he was trying to save the ummah by exposing emails

9:52

is one of the best academics in the uk it's like do you understand the definition of academic deaf calling is very intel he may be very clever being very clever in what you do learning certain things selfie books and doing these things does not make you an academic that's like calling mullah umar the greatest hippie

10:23

it is this is no link i mean this is you know it's like or calling donald trump the greatest feminist i mean this just does not it does not add up so yes i was like whoa oh my god i was like so yeah i had to do some of those to just think to get over this man i just couldn't i felt like this is

11:04

this this is the thing this is the thing people well i had to share that with you guys farid leaks and indeed not only does only for this leak they had created a nappy that could have prevented obviously look at this leak from gangutely was enough to drown yasir kadhi i'm with him us trying to somehow paddle through the situation uh he managed to drown a bunch of other people with him as well because of his magnificent explanation which was so terrific

11:42
