but I was a former muslim so it is no more Muslim to answer this when I used
to be a Muslim I never the way we think about it when I
was a Muslim I never thought calls on killing
non-muslim were evil actually we always you know Islam really makes your mind
think differently from logical Western thinking we can incorporate two
opposites ideas at the same time and feel perfectly comfortable with it for
instance we used to learn that Islam is a religion of peace and at the same time
we didn't feel any conflict when we would say but go kill the Jews it it we
never thought about it as as it conflicts the value system of logic and
this is the tragedy that most Muslim the majority of Muslims have no clue about
the religion and elliptically to them is all emotion it it's my father's religion
it's my the only religion I can believe in and it has to be right we were told
the Quran word by word was was was from God directly and and the way they
recited is so rhythmic and so emotional that really it feels it feels very
chilling I mean until today if you hear the men recited it it could he could be
saying in the recitation killed killing the infidels but it sounds so holy
so holiness and killing are not something when you're a Muslim they
don't conflict with one another it has become such a sick ideology that Muslims
must wake up and examine it examine the religion really examine the
religion but until today they are not they don't have the courage to
do that after the Revolution in Egypt I didn't see one one person in the
v-square carrying a sign that said separation of mosque and state even
though that they know very well that if we apply Sharia they never have a
democracy I'd like to add a bit to that about the peace by giving you a quick
historical anecdote you might find useful which is basically the word peace
in Islam as an etymological connection to the word submit and this is actually
sort of a game that a lot of Muslims play they say Islam means peace and in
way it does Salam comes from the same root as a slab which is submitted which
is the name of the religion and it's a kind of a historical thing that Muhammad
according to Islamic tradition used to send letters so the early Christian King
Musa for instance in Egypt and in Constantinople and he would say aslam
taslam and basically what that means it's submit have peace and so there's a
corollary between submitting which of course brings about a lot of violence
and bloodshed and killing and then that leads to peace and so that's why going
back to your question how is this religion of peace of you're out to kill
people the logic is that I'm out to kill them to create peace because they're so
you know they're not cooperating they're the bad guys
so we have to break them and make them submit and then it's peace also remember
Islamic law is the law of the law who is the supreme god and so it's perfect
justice so the idea is to establish the rule of Islamic law over the world which
is peace and so you have to kill people on the way to that that's not violence
that's justice it's jihad so you have a lot of Muslims condemning terrorism and
then when you look at their statements more closely they're condemning Israel
in the United States but not like Twin Towers or the Fort Hood shootings or
something like that because those things are terrorism they're justice in the
service of peace
if I may just start with a comment concerning President Obama's statement
about a slander slander libel defamation of character
have certain legal definitions behind them to speak the truth about Muhammad
is not to slander him so I would be as a Christian in support of that statement
that we shouldn't slander people but here's our misunderstanding of Islam and
the fact is what causes him to think that the truth is slander because the
reality of Islam is so unnatural enough whoring through the Western culture so I
can understand somebody confusing the two but also in Islamic law there's a
definition of slander that's different from that of American law in Sharia the
definition of slander is telling something about someone that they don't
want known it could be true but if they don't want it known and you tell it
that's slandering so see when I write a book about Muhammad and say this is what
they say Muhammad said and did that's slandering Muhammad because they
don't want Westerners to know those things even if they're all true it's
even more comical just to add to that in space on something you just said Nani
which is basically like as you do I watch a lot of Arabic programs of these
shapes sizes on the clerk's and they'll say all the same things that if I say it
I'm a terrible human being and the difference is they say it and they take
pride in it you're okay but they say it and they take pride okay so for instance
I'll see a program of an Islamic cleric saying it's okay to marry a girl it
really doesn't matter her age now they've concluded six or nine is not the
point her age the point is can she bear the
weight of the man therefore if a five-year-old is a strong girl and can
then that's okay and he'll say it and he's proud of it and he'll evoke the
Prophet of Islam okay and there's no problem but he's a great chick but if I
say it I'm saying it with a bit of criticism and we're both stating the
same thing but it's exactly why am I saying it I'm saying it to be critical
he's saying it and he's supporting it another Muslim clerk will come and say
and complain about how we really want to fix our economy we
need to do a Muhammad which is go on a jihad rate people steal their stuff
enslave them and sell them in markets and he'll get a loud thunderous applause
for that but if I say it and then I'm being critical and saying this is not
how it should be then I'm the bad guy so it's a lot of it has to do with the
value judgement which is sort of something that's been conveyed here for
instance Mohammed had he used to tell people that the urine of the camel and
his own urine would cure diseases his Mohammed's urine okay that's him in some
Hadees and today in Egypt because they're becoming so Islamist there is a
clinic that opened to sell camel urine because Mohammed said said so if I laugh
at it and write an article criticizing it I'm saying doing slander against this
land even though they're doing it so they aren't ashamed I mean come on let's
face it what kind of religion are you know kills people who insult them they
they must really don't have enough confidence in themselves
if lamb is a religion that has the least confidence in itself and that's why any
little criticism rocks them I mean go crazy because they cannot answer you
logically they cannot defend themselves logically so they resort to terror
violence the Quran itself says o you who believe
do not ask about things which is made plain to you will make you uncomfortable
and so even among Muslims they say and they quote the dollar on don't ask too
many dollars hash any questions believe in it as it is and that's why when
Muslims live in the Middle East nobody criticizes exam because it's a crime but
we come to America here and suddenly Americans are asking us questions very
innocent questions and we are just like oh my god
how dare they ask us this question we've never been asked this question in the
modern world you must be hating your slab
you're supposed to accept what we tell you as is and that's why I left the
religion not thought out the question for the layperson saying that there are
so many sects within Islam themselves in different divisions how would you
approach Muslims concerning the primary source of materials and how would you
reference them so that they carry some weight most of them don't know the
religion that's something I want to just alert you to you're saying about
different sects most Muslims are Muslims hardly ever read the Quran with try
understanding different sects are just following each other they hate each
other just because they were told to hate each other
and really you don't have to go to a political because if you know something
most probably a Muslim person doesn't know it when uh when one historical
thing a lot of Muslims what do they want they want a Caliphate right and they
always talk about the golden age of the Caliphate and how wonderful Islam was in
the world was and it was at peace and the other day I was looking at the the
Umayyad and the Abbasid Caliphate and amazingly a dumb vast majority of the
khalif's were all assassinated and usually when you have assassinations
going on that's an indication of turmoil and chaos so even the Golden Age
quote-unquote that is their paradigm that they wish to instill and to bring
about is itself full of bloodshed most people who have a mythical Golden Age at
least it's so you know it's utopic and however hard it is to actually realize
it but even their Golden Age is full of bloodshed and killing and destruction
and and one final hadith Muhammad himself said in the end times the Robie
I forget the number or something like 99 Islamic sects and psyche killing 72 and
71 will go to hell because only ones right
so heavy you don't know which I think the other one is an infidelity to go to
hell Oh since we are short of time I would appreciate it if you avoid making
statements and just ask short questions thank you I heard two-part question if
President Obama says the slandering music the Mohammed name why we cannot
say slandering then putting the clothes in a urine and called as an art also
defaming Mary or Jesus the flag ankles because Christians don't don't go and
write and kill and burn you're cowards we're basically colored that's why we
give too much respect but if Christians did riot and burn Obama would have no
problem slapping them down no no you would put them in jail and you a and how
dare you this is not this is unacceptable
this is reserved for Muslims because Muslims not oh well we kind of have to
treat them nicely because they're so violent that's illogical
but Christians know better so if you're violent you go to jail well we won't
tolerate it okay second part if I say Jesus Christ is the
only way to God not Mohammed is it they're slandering or is a hate crime
don't thank you so much you go to jail in Pakistan for saying that it could be
lynched by a mob this is how they victimize Christians in fact the last
year well it's getting to be that way here this is the thing that we're
talking about free speech tonight and if we want to look at what that would look
like we can look at the section 295 C of the laws of Pakistan and see how it's
applied in Pakistani society when I'm sure you're well aware that Christians
are routinely victimized by the blasphemy laws in Pakistan oh that's
exactly the law that they want to bring to the United States and it's exactly
the case where a Muslim who wants the the land that Christian owns or his car
or something that he's got he goes and he says do you believe Muhammad is the
Prophet and the Christians I don't believe Muhammad is the Prophet
he's accusing he gives him a blasphemy the guys arrested if he's acquitted then
a mob kills him and the Muslim can take whatever it is on his property that he
wants this is the the blasphemy laws in action and so that's what's coming he'll
be a Muslim world and own a diamond store jewelry store because you can be
accused of blasphemy shop and unwrapped thank you the UN resolution that you
mentioned in the beginning of 1618 or H basics is there any way that can be
undone what would what would be the necessary steps if there are any to have
that commitment you know from the president withdrawn well I guess the
president could just withdraw it I mean we're not technically bound at this
point this is the showdown I was mentioning that has to come whether we
are going to hold ourselves bound to international laws that contradict the
Constitution or whether the constant then that have been agreed to by the
United States government and thus constitute treaties or whether the
United States Constitution will Trump them and that has not yet been decided
but right now it would seem clear that if we had a president who affirmed the
freedom of speech and said that there would be no law that would infringe upon
the freedom of speech then that would be enough to do it
the problem is we don't have a president like that we're not going to have one
for at least four years and he could do a great deal of damage in the meantime
what policies would you like to see the Obama administration implement to
improve freedom of speech here or even foreign policy to bring more
stabilization to the Middle East master resignation
- in the talk that I gave earlier that Petraeus and General Allen had a chance
to explain and defend the freedom of speech when Muslims started rioting and
killing over the Quran burning or the Muhammad video or whatever the outrage
du jour was and they didn't and this is what they thought to be doing they ought
to be explaining why the freedom of speech is so important and why even
Afghanistan would benefit from having it an even Pakistan and even Egypt and so
on they ought to be I mean we really ought to have been doing this for years
we instituted constitutions in Iraq and Afghanistan that affirms Sharia as the
highest law of the land and that was all about you know we're all about the will
of the people and democracy and so on but what we could and should have done
when we had the opportunity and what I was saying at the time was that we
should have stood up for our own values and stood up for the oppressed Christian
minorities and Hindu minorities and non Muslim minorities in general in those
countries and brought to those countries and anywhere else where we could not
militarily necessarily but just as a society held as the highest values
equality of rights of all people before the law including women the freedom of
speech the freedom of conscience versus the death penalty for apostasy and so on
and if we had affirmed those things and insisted that governments in those
countries if we were going to be propping them up militarily would have
to adopt those things well the situation would be very different today there is
another thing that I'm noticing in the last few years since Obama took office
that our our media and our educational system is making any criticism of Islam
almost a shameful thing and we are feeling it we are bringing up a whole
generation of children in America who are absorbing and being shamed if they
exercise the ideology on that's something very new to America um
and yeah and that's very scary because before the laws in America could change
like what the UN doing trying to influence as we're bringing up a whole
generation of Americans that in 20 years they could accept a lot of mixed
blasphemy of Islam something because they are brought up on the idea that it
is such a shame that is so bad we are bringing up a new generation we're going
to be gone but we're going to leave that America that that that is going to be a
culture of pride and shame which is typical the Arab culture is a culture of
pride and shame that's how they get you by shaming you to death when your child
and then putting you high up on a pedestal or is joy when you're a child
if you say I hate Jews and when you are charged and you're rewarded heavily if
you hate Jews and you are treated like a villain if you if you just say that
slightest question about this lamp then we you bring up a generation that will
will accept oppression we're very close to this people don't realize how close
we are very close because Mohammed movie we are not going to be alive with the
Mohammed movie actually there were calls in the Los Angeles Times and in the New
York Daily News and in other major newspapers calls for restrictions on the
freedom of speech to make it impossible for such a movie to be made
yeah and that's absolutely abominable that not only is it coming from the top
but coming from the mainstream media as well and there's I don't see how the
freedom of speech is going to survive unless there is some major movement
against this now America has its first political prisoner the man who did the
movie wake up America he's in jail now he's in jail for a year for violating
some something in his we have our first political prisoner for blasphemy of
Islam in America today you
