Asalaamu Alaikum guys and welcome to another episode of Smile2jannah. A lot's been happening
in France and let's face it, the content that is available online, either it's bias, if it's
done by the French media, or if it's done by Muslims it's like an hour and a half
conversation or articles, it's not accessible information, so what I'm gonna do in this video,
I'm gonna try to keep it short, brief and to the point. Now tell me you like the sound of that?
Okay guys so, let's begin with France's general attitude towards Muslims and Islam. Of course
there's two main parties: you've got Macron on one side and you've got Le Pen on the other side,
she's from the far right and he was supposed to be from centre left or left (or whatever)
of the political spectrum. Now because this guy hasn't really done much- and the only thing the
far right really care about is this bogeyman: that is Islam- all he has to do is scapegoat Islam.
It's worked in other countries that we know of:
India, America and of course here in the UK. What France did of course was: ban the niqab,
then they banned the burkini, then they moved on to banning the hijab in schools. Especially
when election times come near, Muslims, the hijab or something to do with Islam and Muslims
comes up. So you got this magazine that published cartoons of the prophet, this was a few years
ago and that caused many issues in France, since then people know that Muslims do not
appreciate drawing the prophet peace be upon him. So what happened this year was they went to trial,
and when they went to trial they republished the cartoons. So when they republished the cartoons,
Macron was asked to condemn them and he refused. When something's happening on the lower level,
you know you got the people fighting amongst each other, but when you got the king or the
president or the prime minister getting involved, that's now state sponsored, so when he's saying
"I'm not going to condemn it, it's freedom of speech" that's now laying the precedent. Let's
see if this "freedom of speech" is being applied everywhere, no, because France is the same country
that in its last few years has made it illegal to insult the flag, after one guy was seen
wiping his bottom with it. So that offended people. Oh, there's that word "offense" yeah,
"offended people" so not only has France outlawed desecration of the flag/offense of the flag,
but also the national anthem as well amongst other things like holocaust denial and all
these sorts of things. So it seems like freedom of speech only applies when it comes to Muslims,
This is a senseless act! So coming back to the republishing of the cartoons and Macron giving
it his stamp of approval as well, two stabbings took place- I think it was yeah 25th of September
this year- After Islamic Islamic Islamic Islamic extremists attacked its editorial offices in 2015.
Islam was taken from everyone yeah, 1.8 billion people on the planet, it was as if this person
personified the whole religion at that moment in time when he was carrying out that attack,
and then what happened was Macron then came out and said "yes, Islam is in crisis", not making
the distinction between Islam and Muslims, he probably doesn't even know the difference frankly.
Pigeon hearted, pusillanimous weasel!
And then he goes "no no, we don't have a problem with the Muslims". Well Malcolm X says
"you can't hate the roots of the tree, without ending up hating the tree" and the thing is,
I know people are like- yeah but Muslims have done this and Muslims have done that-
okay, those are individuals on the ground, here we're talking state
sponsored bigotry. You can't compare the two mate.
When stuff like this happens it makes it worse. Even in psychology you've got something called
the Milgram experiment, which shows that people will go to extraordinary lengths if they are
told to do so by a person of authority. So what happened last week was a teacher in France, who
was known to show pictures of the prophet peace be upon him was beheaded by a, let's face it,
a psychotic individual. Okay let's see what events built up to that attack. So parents had been
campaigning for some time because apparently that teacher was a uh, I don't know, what do you call
it? A serial picture shower of the prophet? Nothing happened. Then the local mosque,
they also shared a video in which they were saying, look, something needs to be done.
What then happened was after this event, the mosque that shared the video got shut down.
What message is this sending to the people? That here were people who weren't happy with something,
they were peacefully protesting and saying 'what he's doing is wrong, something needs to be done
about it. He loses his job or he stops doing', it but it's like these people are now being
treated as the co-conspirators. Yes of course the murder of the teacher is wrong yeah, that goes
without saying, but now that he's passed away that doesn't make what he did correct.
And what's even more perplexing is the fact that he is now being given an award,
and in fact it's the most prestigious award in France. I mean what on earth is going on frankly?
This whole beheading thing had me perplexed, but then I saw this report that earlier this year (I
think June or July) France returned 24 heads of Algerians yeah, 24 skulls back to Algeria
from their colonial past, that they had kept as trophies in their museums. I mean what is this
obsession with the French and heads? So what these guys are now doing is, they're panicking, they're
showing a lack of leadership;. Chaos. Breeding more contempt, more hatred and division by
shutting down charities and NGOs targeting mosques indiscriminately. And that has led to the latest
crime, the latest terrorist attack, which is two Muslim women being stabbed near the Eiffel tower.
I think one of the sisters was stabbed six to seven times and you could hear people calling them
"dirty Arabs". When leaders and state-sponsored bigotry is rife it leads to anarchy, but you know
what's really sad here is, yes the beheading of the teacher is ridiculous, unjustifiable,
but so is this stabbing as well. It's a clear terrorist attack. Calling that a terrorist attack
and blaming an entire religion and saying we need to do this and having special laws coming out,
but here Muslims have been stabbed and the media was silent. It was only after the uproar in social
media that they gave a little report here and there. And I'm not hearing the word "terrorist"
being said at all. And is it Christian terrorist attack? A secular terrorist attack? No, none of that
mate, none of that, why? Because the victims are Muslims. Is this what we've come to for votes?
Let's leave it there guys, until next time
Asalaamu Alaikum.
