What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenThe guest says Rashad Khalifa was declared an apostate by a 1989 Madinah gathering under Ibn Baz and killed within a year by a group linked to al-Qaeda, and he lists coincidences of the number 19 around the murder, Y2K and the 9/11 attacks.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth asks about Khalifa's assassination. The guest says that in 1989 scholars from thirty-eight countries gathered in Madinah under Ibn Baz, competing with Iran's bounty on Salman Rushdie, and declared both Rushdie and Khalifa apostates; within a year Khalifa was killed by al-Fuqra [?], a group he links to al-Qaeda, and he says three of the 9/11 planners were in Tucson at the time, one clearly involved. He adds that the hitman was captured and sentenced nineteen years later, that Tucson's zip code and the mosque's area code are multiples of 19, that the mosque's parcel number was 114 and that it was built in 1919, which he calls minor signs, and that the three biggest events of the last twenty years relate to 19: the Y2K problem, which he says cost nearly a trillion dollars through ignorance of the number 19, and the 9/11 attacks carried out by nineteen hijackers, which he calls poetic justice since the murderers of Khalifa later attacked the United States, whose government he claims was more than ninety percent likely complicit with Saudi Arabia. Mufti confirms the number of hijackers and moves to questions.

everywhere except in those two verses and at the end of surah tauba that's why he felt maybe they were kind of interpolations into the massage yes I would like to discuss another point okay sure hey he himself was was unfortunately was assassinated is that correct yeah he was assassinated and it is also a major issue because in 1989 from 38 countries Muslim scholars gathered in Medina under the leadership of EDL boss the Saudi
Sullivan bombers live in bars and they were gathering for the fair of salman rushdie because Iran declared salman rushdie the iran put about 1 million dollars on Selma rest his head it was major issue that time it was number one names in 1989 therefore Saudi Arabia did not want to stay behind because Iran getting the leadership of the so-called Muslim world including Sunnis and Saudi was competing with you rather for they wanted to have a say on the issue they gathered from 38 countries in Medina and
they declared that fatwa Rashad and rich the both of them are multiple state and then after that less than a year he was killed by the elf okra a group was affiliated to al-qaeda the mastermind of 9/11 three of them were in Tucson that time one of them was clearly involved and the others most likely to but from his interview it was he was basically strangely i i've read that the person who did this was captured 19 years after
captured 19 years after exactly it was not he was not the mastermind but he was the one who used for date as a killer it is a hitman and he was captured exactly 19 years later but there are so many 19 yeah and he was sentenced on the 19th of I think yeah but these are small things let me tell you about Massachusetts G Tucson Tucson the city zip code is 57 it's 3 times 19 and the Masjid where it belongs the area code is 1957 it is the City of
Tucson 19 at the area code of Massachusetts and later we look at the parcel number or to Masjid person in the city the land but it was 114 and years later about few years ago there was an article at Tucson weekly it was random that I came across that it was about historical buildings in Tucson and they included this one too these were master Tucson was Rashad Masjid and then I saw it very interesting says it was built in year 1919 and maybe it's incredible these are few these are very trivial no one knows
but so many sons these are just on the side in the footnote but the major signs they covet nineteen my dear brother no no no it is not a coincidence I'm telling you do we see many more signs on 19 in fact the last 20 years three biggest event in the world it was clearly truly related to number 19 but many did not even notice it one was y2k problem it was the ignorance of the number 19 the the computer programmers they ignore the number 19
and it cost almost a trillion dollars eight hundred billion dollars and the whole fear the whole year from 398 from 1999 passing to 2000 the whole world was terrified if you look at the time magazines covered the end of the world y2k problem and the reason was because the number 19 was ignored there is interesting poetic justice and the mastermind of the murderers of Raja Khalifa years later they attacked the United States and 19 of them were because the United States government was
accomplished with so dorothea that is my contention I have 99 percent almost evidence which is 19 more than 80 percent sure well I am more than 90 percent because I have so many everything I cannot see a hundred percent but there are so many reasons to believe that there was a United States basically turn a blind eye to them carrying out these more and then ultimately it cut with them the guys who murdered Russia Khalifa they attacked the United States in 9/11 and they end up become nineteen hijackers not 20 they were they started 20 do you
