Asalaamu Alaikum guys and welcome to another episode of smile2jannah
Hate muslims? But just can't seem to tell the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim?
Last month vandals sprayed "white power" and anti-muslim slogans on a Sikh
temple in Yorkshire. And Glasgow Sikh temple fell victim earlier this year.
How much does your life have to suck that even when you try racism, you can't even get that right
The first instance where the Sikhs won our hearts:
This was in Canada when a
Sikh who is the brother of a Canadian Member of Parliament was confronted by
Islamophobic hate speech. What made this stand out was, rather than saying "I'm not
Muslim, I'm a Sikh" which would have implied, had I been Muslim then that sort
of speech would have been okay.
my brother Jagmeet Singh taught me to
always confront racism. I will never respond to an Islamophobe by stating I
am NOT a Muslim, instead I will always stand with my Muslim brothers and
sisters and say hate is wrong. Now his brother of course it's federal NDP
leader Jagmeet Singh. He spoke in general against hate without specifying
who he was and him being confronted as a Muslim actually proves the point that
Islamophobia is racism despite not being a race. Here's a clip from a podcast I
did with Asim to explain more: Give you example of a white Muslim. When he wasn't
Muslim, he's walking around the street he's not being profiled before
the reason of being Muslim, but as soon as he becomes one, grows maybe a beard, starts
wearing a topi you know, starts wearing whatever Muslim garb he thinks is
Muslim right? Then all of a sudden he's placed in a different
matrix okay and that matrix it looks at him and it racialises him. It it turns
him- based on how he looks into a potential threat- into a matrix of threat
that wasn't there before he became a Muslim right, so that's why what we're
saying is that it's Islamophobia is a form of racism it's a manifestation of
racism and that in its logic is no different right. The second instance
where the Sikhs won our hearts. This is the first turbaned british sikh MP
If I decide to wear a turban or you decide to wear a cross or he decides to wear a
kippah or a skullcap or she decides to wear a hijab or a burka does that mean
that it is open season for right honorable members of this house to make
derogatory and divisive remarks about our appearance? When will the prime minister
finally apologize for his derogatory and racist remarks?
I was actually looking forward to the response of the prime minister but his
answer can be summarized in three blobs of feces. The first blob: I speak as
somebody who's not only proud to have Muslim ancestors but to be related to
Sikhs such as such as himself...
I'm not a racist because my great-great
great-great-great-great great-great-great great-grandfather also
happened to be brown as well.
The second blob: we have the most diverse the most
diverse in the history of this country
Hey! We've hired a few colored people so
we can say what we want!
And thirdly: we have yet to hear from anywhere in the
Labor Party is any hint of apology for the virus of anti-semitism...
you started it, you apologize for what you said!
I count three blobs the only thing left
to do now is flush. Yes, thank You Prime Minister for that colon cleansing answer
Guys I'm just gonna end with this. I've said it before hate does not
discriminate. Stop it when it starts, otherwise eventually it's gonna come to
your door regardless of your race. Here's the dirty little secret- we love to hate
because it gives us people to blame. The media loves people to hate because it
sells papers. The politicians love us hating other people because it makes us
easier to control and pass more restrictive laws. So let's be a bit
smarter and wiser yeah regardless of who or what you are, don't hate other people.
Disagree with them by all means. All right guys let's leave it there
until next time
Asalaamu Alaikum
