This is your friendly ex-Muslim
Subboor Ahmad blasted David Wood recently
for.......you'll never guess
speaking up about Uighur women
Wait, what?
Yes, you heard me right.
He uploaded a video called
"Message to David Wood on the Uighurs"
hashtag shorts
let's see what he said
David Wood made a video
defending the Uighurs
This is welcome by everybody
because we of course need
as many platforms
to speak about this issue as possible
However, there is a serious issue
the same islamophobia
that he supports in the Western world
the same dehumanization of the Muslims
the same hatred that he spreads
is exactly the same
as what the Chinese Communist Party
is doing
except the latter does it on steroids
and he does it in a lesser form
So how can he
in the same breath defend the Uyghurs
yet he supports the same
islamophobic industry in the western world
Something for him to reflect about
So this video annoyed me
because if there's one thing I hate
it's not giving credit what it's due
In this case,
as much as you might not like David
you should have credited him properly
for what he did here
Only strict dictatorship like China
is a solution
I would not agree with that at all.
China is committing a cultural genocide
in the front of everyone's eyes in our time
I've seen people say yeah that the Chinese
they got the right idea.
Guys, you understand these are
communists right
and they're carrying out genocide right.
You could disagree with the ideology
but presumably most of us
are disagreeing with the ideology because
it's so violent
and how much it produces
contempt for people
and just then you should also be criticizing
the Chinese when they do that sort of stuff
Just because you get really angry at Islam
and what a lot of Muslims have done
doesn't mean you say well great
they're slaughtering them and
I mean think about it there is
a major atrocity going on in our time
and people are not reacting
cultural genocide is going on in China
It's not only going on against
the Muslim population by the way
but also against certain other minorities
in the country that are not Muslims
but just think about the Muslim population
We're talking about humans
We're not just talking about the religion or
people that you are angry about
because you don't like Islam or
because you don't like Muslims.
We're talking about uh humans
about human life
Think about a random child in China
that is a Uighur Muslim in China
and one day your parents
are suddenly taken away
Taken away to a place
and they don't come back.
You're waiting for them
and they don't come back
and you are brought into the custody
of other people
of the government or of other people
who re-educate you
and make you love the Chinese government
the Chinese regime
and one day you find out that your parents
are apparently in some camp
in a Chinese re-education camp
which they were forced into
where they were tortured mentally
and physically tortured
because they happened to have some ideas
that the Chinese regime considers uh considers
dangerous and disrespectful
to their own existence
which is why they torture this tiny group
this tiny ethnic group
It is sick man
it doesn't matter who those people are
what they believe in
We're talking about human beings
Standing up for the rights
of Chinese Muslims
Subboor doesn't know how to say thank you
On one hand, he says thank you
for defending the Uighur women
but.......
and then he puts a long rant about
how bad David Wood actually is
and how he's actually the problem
and the reason for Muslim suffering
in the world and for spreading islamophobia
The best way to encourage people
to speak out more about
causes you care about
is not to thank someone
and appreciate them for
speaking about your cause
but to criticize them
even when they do the right thing
You gotta love the audacity
David Wood is in no way attached to
the Uighur Muslim issue
being neither Muslim nor Uighur
yet he took the time to speak about it
and defend those poor Muslims
on his platform
because as much as he hates Islam
he doesn't hate Muslims
or at least that's what's apparent to me
and everyone else
You might deem it a bit paternalistic
for us to say this
but in some ways, we do see Muslims as
victims of Muhammad and Islam
Many Muslims just don't realize
just how terrible the prophet really was
or how incorrect and flawed that ideology is
So that's where we come in.
However when it comes to abusing
human beings that line cannot be crossed
for me as a humanist
or for David Wood as a Christian
this is a red line and we stick to our values
Now Subboor,
you are really your own worst enemy here
instead of crediting him
and joining forces on something that
matters to both of you
more to you should be
what do you do?
You sh*t on him for being islamophobic
Yes folks, Muslims favorite ad hominem
"You are an islamophobe"
You could never do anything right
no matter when you do something right
I am a what?
An islamophobe
And what is an islamophobe?
Wikipedia defines it as the fear of hatred of
or prejudice against the religion of Islam
or Muslims in general
especially when seen as a geopolitical force
or the source of terrorism
So we can see that the term is problematic
It lumps both the religion and Muslims
into the same category
if you're a Muslim and I asked you
"Do you hate taghut?"
"Do you hate dhulm?"
"Do you hate shirk"
"Do you hate oppression and fitnah
and disbelief against Allah?"
"Do you love Allah,
love his messenger,
and love all that Islam brings?"
If so then why are you allowed
to love and hate
when we are not allowed the same
Clearly, if you hate disbelief
then we can hate Islam if we want to
it's a system for crying out loud
It has harms and benefits
that we are allowed to evaluate
if we so choose to
if islamophobia is a thing
then Islamophilia is a thing
if islamophobia is a thing
then atheistophobia
Cathelophobia
Christianophobia
can be legitimate things too
but that's just silly
Your religion criticizes disbelievers
all the time
It criticizes Christians,
Jews, and polytheists
It calls for world subjugation
and Islamization
So why can't we be phobic
of those awful ideas?
So stop using that slur as a shield
to protect the bad ideas in your religion
and bring specific charges
Subboor I challenge you to show me where
David Wood has dehumanized Muslims.
I do not think you will find anything
except for him criticizing
the hateful terrible ideas we find
inside Islam.
He repeatedly goes after Muhammad
which I'm sure makes you very mad
a leader of billions now
and by any means is fair game for criticism
His ideas as selectively preserved
by the scholars is now a myth
that is used to control the masses
Definitely, most of what we know
about Muhammad is probably not true
but if it is taken as gospel by Muslims
we have every right to attack that myth
and show people that we can do better
I mean the Quran itself speaks about
Muhammad's manners and standards as
being the best
so it's already asking us to judge him
What should we judge him by exactly?
What we all understand to be good behavior
and he definitely didn't have that
So Subboor instead of bashing David Wood
you should thank him.
Thank him sincerely
for using his massive platform to bring
the suffering of Uyghurs to light
and not with this half-assed criticism
that you pretend is a thank you
Do it properly or shut up
Thanks for watching.
