0:00:00.240,0:00:02.399
i was born and raised as a Muslim in

0:00:02.399,0:00:05.440
Cairo Egypt but I grew up as a child in

0:00:05.440,0:00:08.800
the 50s in the Gaza Strip and uh the

0:00:08.800,0:00:12.639
reason I was in Gaza was because Gaza at

0:00:12.639,0:00:14.799
that time was part of Egypt i attended

0:00:14.799,0:00:17.359
Gaza elementary schools where we learned

0:00:17.359,0:00:20.480
hatred vengeance retaliation peace was

0:00:20.480,0:00:23.519
never an option the concept of peace was

0:00:23.519,0:00:26.080
something foreign actually the word

0:00:26.080,0:00:29.439
peace was never even mentioned in the

0:00:29.439,0:00:32.640
services of any mosque we recited poetry

0:00:32.640,0:00:35.680
every day in the school wishing up upon

0:00:35.680,0:00:38.640
ourselves to die as martyrs i used to

0:00:38.640,0:00:41.200
see girls reciting this poetry while

0:00:41.200,0:00:43.360
they're crying they would wish upon

0:00:43.360,0:00:45.840
themselves to die as a martyr see our

0:00:45.840,0:00:48.480
value system was about victimhood

0:00:48.480,0:00:51.200
thinking of ourselves as victims or to

0:00:51.200,0:00:54.160
be a martyr to go kill everybody and die

0:00:54.160,0:00:56.719
as a martyr either a victim or a martyr

0:00:56.719,0:00:58.960
there is nothing in between women don't

0:00:58.960,0:01:01.359
go to mosques but we used to hear the

0:01:01.359,0:01:04.320
service of the mosque either on radio or

0:01:04.320,0:01:08.080
on TV and I remember every Friday prayer

0:01:08.080,0:01:11.040
the sheh would be at the end of the

0:01:11.040,0:01:13.920
sermon he would curse may God destroy

0:01:13.920,0:01:16.159
the Jews and the infidel and the even

0:01:16.159,0:01:18.400
the Christians and non-Muslims and he

0:01:18.400,0:01:20.960
would call non-Muslims the enemies of

0:01:20.960,0:01:24.720
Allah if you grow up with cursing as a

0:01:24.720,0:01:28.280
form of prayer it can feel and sound

0:01:28.280,0:01:32.320
normal hatred can be normal because who

0:01:32.320,0:01:34.720
am I to judge i never noticed that this

0:01:34.720,0:01:38.000
is not holy so this is how I grew up 22

0:01:38.000,0:01:40.640
Arab countries did everything they could

0:01:40.640,0:01:44.240
to make life impossible for Israel to

0:01:44.240,0:01:47.680
exist the Arab League forbade absorbing

0:01:47.680,0:01:50.799
the so-called Arab Palestinians rejected

0:01:50.799,0:01:53.280
to give them citizenship in any Arab

0:01:53.280,0:01:55.560
country so you could see an a

0:01:55.560,0:01:58.719
Palestinian born in Cairo for instance

0:01:58.719,0:02:02.079
and never get the citizenship and die in

0:02:02.079,0:02:06.719
Cairo they born and die in Syria a a

0:02:06.719,0:02:08.959
Palestinian and they never get a

0:02:08.959,0:02:11.920
citizenship why because the Arab League

0:02:11.920,0:02:14.800
wanted the Palestinian problem never to

0:02:14.800,0:02:18.480
be solved this is not their agenda the

0:02:18.480,0:02:21.680
agenda is to keep them refugees from

0:02:21.680,0:02:25.120
birth to death the culture was so for

0:02:25.120,0:02:28.080
sacrificing they encouraged women to

0:02:28.080,0:02:30.640
stand up in front of the cameras and say

0:02:30.640,0:02:33.599
"I gave my son to the jihad and I want

0:02:33.599,0:02:36.560
my other children to die in the jihad."

0:02:36.560,0:02:39.920
Women who are for life for peace were

0:02:39.920,0:02:42.160
looked down upon women who would be

0:02:42.160,0:02:44.959
radical if not more radical than men who

0:02:44.959,0:02:47.280
will promote jihad for their children

0:02:47.280,0:02:50.160
were lifted up as honorable women to be

0:02:50.160,0:02:52.480
respected in society so for a woman to

0:02:52.480,0:02:55.120
be respected in Islamic society you have

0:02:55.120,0:02:57.840
to be as radical if not more radical

0:02:57.840,0:03:00.640
than men and that is why a lot of women

0:03:00.640,0:03:03.040
are silent they are proud to give their

0:03:03.040,0:03:05.680
children to jihad and many people told

0:03:05.680,0:03:08.080
that to my mother to my grandparents

0:03:08.080,0:03:10.239
after my father died that your boy

0:03:10.239,0:03:12.480
you're lucky he's in heaven now it's the

0:03:12.480,0:03:14.560
only way to go to heaven is to go and

0:03:14.560,0:03:17.760
kill the infidel and die in the process

0:03:17.760,0:03:20.760
the Arabs of Israel were pushed

0:03:20.760,0:03:23.280
constantly they are rejected from being

0:03:23.280,0:03:26.000
absorbed and constantly pushed against

0:03:26.000,0:03:28.560
the borders with Israel in order to keep

0:03:28.560,0:03:31.120
the problem alive the Arab world doesn't

0:03:31.120,0:03:33.280
have a shortage of land if you look at

0:03:33.280,0:03:36.159
the Arab world from the Atlantic Ocean

0:03:36.159,0:03:39.120
Morocco all the way to Persia from

0:03:39.120,0:03:41.920
Turkey all the way to Sudan at that time

0:03:41.920,0:03:43.760
when I was a child the Sinai was

0:03:43.760,0:03:46.480
practically empty desert nobody lived in

0:03:46.480,0:03:50.000
the Sinai like today there is Sharmishek

0:03:50.000,0:03:52.640
you know all the nice beaches this was a

0:03:52.640,0:03:56.640
military zone and there is absolutely no

0:03:56.640,0:04:01.200
need no pressing need for Arabs to be so

0:04:01.200,0:04:04.080
dwelled on wanting to throw the Jews in

0:04:04.080,0:04:06.560
the sea you know this international

0:04:06.560,0:04:08.640
conflict called the Arab-Israeli

0:04:08.640,0:04:12.239
conflict really is a fabrication this is

0:04:12.239,0:04:15.840
not a conflict over land and anybody who

0:04:15.840,0:04:18.680
thinks it's a conflict over land is

0:04:18.680,0:04:21.840
misguided because we don't see the truth

0:04:21.840,0:04:25.120
the truth is Arabs there is something in

0:04:25.120,0:04:28.720
Islam anti-Jewish anti-Christian

0:04:28.720,0:04:30.800
especially anti-Jewish and I will tell

0:04:30.800,0:04:34.000
you why those people calling themselves

0:04:34.000,0:04:35.919
Palestinians who live in the Gaza and

0:04:35.919,0:04:38.240
the West Bank are the pawns of the Arab

0:04:38.240,0:04:40.000
world i don't believe that they care

0:04:40.000,0:04:42.400
about their happiness or welfare they

0:04:42.400,0:04:45.360
are set up to live a miserable life on

0:04:45.360,0:04:47.600
purpose in order to show the world that

0:04:47.600,0:04:49.840
we're victims do you think Saudi Arabia

0:04:49.840,0:04:51.840
with all the money they have the Gulf

0:04:51.840,0:04:54.320
countries all these oil money they can't

0:04:54.320,0:04:56.800
give them good roads and good homes and

0:04:56.800,0:04:58.720
good police and turn it into a

0:04:58.720,0:05:01.440
productive area of of the Middle East

0:05:01.440,0:05:04.400
they can but that is not their objective

0:05:04.400,0:05:06.880
there is a hidden objective and I don't

0:05:06.880,0:05:09.199
understand why Western culture doesn't

0:05:09.199,0:05:12.720
get it why Western media doesn't get it

0:05:12.720,0:05:15.440
it's so obvious so the unemployed people

0:05:15.440,0:05:19.000
in Gaza and the West Bank all this high

0:05:19.000,0:05:21.440
unemployment where do they go to work do

0:05:21.440,0:05:23.840
they stand on the border of Egypt to get

0:05:23.840,0:05:26.320
a job do they stand on the border of

0:05:26.320,0:05:30.080
Syria or Jordan no they line up on the

0:05:30.080,0:05:33.199
borders of Israel the very people they

0:05:33.199,0:05:36.600
are supposed to kill it's a very

0:05:36.600,0:05:40.400
unnatural way of living and nobody sees

0:05:40.400,0:05:42.960
it but they go and blame Israel they

0:05:42.960,0:05:45.520
compare the living standard of the West

0:05:45.520,0:05:48.800
Bank and Gaza with Israel a democracy

0:05:48.800,0:05:50.880
the only democracy in the Middle East

0:05:50.880,0:05:52.720
why don't they compare the living

0:05:52.720,0:05:55.199
conditions of Gaza and the West Bank

0:05:55.199,0:05:58.240
with Egypt with Syria with Jordan and if

0:05:58.240,0:06:00.160
they do they will find that the standard

0:06:00.160,0:06:03.120
of living is even higher than many areas

0:06:03.120,0:06:06.319
of the Arab world but Western media are

0:06:06.319,0:06:09.840
too lazy to compare apples with apples

0:06:09.840,0:06:12.720
they want to compare apples and oranges

0:06:12.720,0:06:14.880
i don't know how can I call Western

0:06:14.880,0:06:16.880
media ignorant they should not be

0:06:16.880,0:06:20.639
ignorant and then they go and ask Israel

0:06:20.639,0:06:22.639
why don't you do some concessions for

0:06:22.639,0:06:25.840
the Palestinians i never hear them stand

0:06:25.840,0:06:28.880
up to Arab leaders and ask Western media

0:06:28.880,0:06:30.960
why don't they ask Arab leaders how

0:06:30.960,0:06:33.199
about some concessions to the Israeli

0:06:33.199,0:06:36.400
people and it's very convenient to blame

0:06:36.400,0:06:39.600
all of this terrorism on after 911

0:06:39.600,0:06:41.759
especially they blame the terrorism oh

0:06:41.759,0:06:44.000
it's because we have this terrorism

0:06:44.000,0:06:46.319
everywhere by Muslims it's all because

0:06:46.319,0:06:48.800
of the occupation if it wasn't for the

0:06:48.800,0:06:51.680
occupation of Gaza if it's not for the

0:06:51.680,0:06:53.840
occupation of the West Bank we wouldn't

0:06:53.840,0:06:56.240
have a problem the problem all is

0:06:56.240,0:06:58.080
because of Israel that's what they want

0:06:58.080,0:07:00.960
to give the impression and this is a big

0:07:00.960,0:07:05.680
lie because I lived in Gaza as a child

0:07:05.680,0:07:08.000
and I witnessed the terrorism against

0:07:08.000,0:07:12.080
Israel before the occupation of Gaza and

0:07:12.080,0:07:15.280
before the occupation of the West Bank

0:07:15.280,0:07:17.919
and our media here doesn't even know

0:07:17.919,0:07:20.639
that there was terrorism against Israel

0:07:20.639,0:07:23.199
before the occupation so people who are

0:07:23.199,0:07:25.599
Arabs who claim that they are doing

0:07:25.599,0:07:27.840
terrorism now because they want freedom

0:07:27.840,0:07:30.319
democracy no there is no freedom and

0:07:30.319,0:07:33.360
democracy in any Arab country let alone

0:07:33.360,0:07:36.479
the West Bank or Gaza so we have to

0:07:36.479,0:07:39.280
really call a spade a spade now this is

0:07:39.280,0:07:42.160
too serious to just take all these lies

0:07:42.160,0:07:44.960
and look the other way because it's very

0:07:44.960,0:07:47.520
very hard to know the truth if you rely

0:07:47.520,0:07:50.240
on Arab media if you rely on the culture

0:07:50.240,0:07:53.120
around you and because of life in an

0:07:53.120,0:07:56.080
oppressive society I moved to America I

0:07:56.080,0:07:58.759
moved to America in the end of

0:07:58.759,0:08:02.879
7879 and my life completely changed and

0:08:02.879,0:08:06.000
one time I wanted to go to attend a

0:08:06.000,0:08:08.160
synagogue and a church because I was

0:08:08.160,0:08:10.080
curious ious i thought they were going

0:08:10.080,0:08:12.879
to curse the Arabs the same way we

0:08:12.879,0:08:15.840
cursed them in our mosque the holiness

0:08:15.840,0:08:18.479
of the place they were praying for

0:08:18.479,0:08:21.280
everybody they were praying for peace on

0:08:21.280,0:08:24.240
earth how can we leave this earth a

0:08:24.240,0:08:26.879
better place it was a totally different

0:08:26.879,0:08:29.360
way of thinking the opposite of what I

0:08:29.360,0:08:32.479
grew up with and that's when I went to a

0:08:32.479,0:08:36.800
mosque here also in Los Angeles and I

0:08:36.800,0:08:39.120
thought that because they allowed women

0:08:39.120,0:08:40.959
that it was going to be different here

0:08:40.959,0:08:44.080
within America i am so glad that Islam

0:08:44.080,0:08:46.800
in America must be so different so I

0:08:46.800,0:08:49.560
went to the mosque and I heard

0:08:49.560,0:08:52.720
anti-semitism again in the mosque and I

0:08:52.720,0:08:54.800
was told "Don't assimilate in America

0:08:54.800,0:08:57.040
we're here to Islamize America." They

0:08:57.040,0:08:59.680
were looking down at American culture

0:08:59.680,0:09:02.399
they were looking down at this society

0:09:02.399,0:09:06.320
and I felt very uncomfortable i said "Oh

0:09:06.320,0:09:09.120
my god there is an agenda here." And I

0:09:09.120,0:09:11.920
never went back again it hit me how

0:09:11.920,0:09:14.880
could we do this how could we lie and

0:09:14.880,0:09:18.080
accuse people of something we Arabs know

0:09:18.080,0:09:20.560
very well we have done ourselves how

0:09:20.560,0:09:23.200
could this happen what kind of value

0:09:23.200,0:09:25.920
system allows a person or allows a

0:09:25.920,0:09:29.040
culture or a religion to lie and accuse

0:09:29.040,0:09:31.040
their enemies of something that they

0:09:31.040,0:09:32.959
know they've done themselves they know

0:09:32.959,0:09:35.360
that Abin Laden did that they know that

0:09:35.360,0:09:38.320
he was financed with Arab money with oil

0:09:38.320,0:09:41.600
money until today how could they accuse

0:09:41.600,0:09:43.519
the Jewish people of that look at the

0:09:43.519,0:09:45.839
map of the Middle East look at the map

0:09:45.839,0:09:47.600
you can hardly see Israel it's

0:09:47.600,0:09:50.480
impossible to convince any person who

0:09:50.480,0:09:53.680
has an IQ of a child that this problem

0:09:53.680,0:09:56.560
is over the land called Israel it's time

0:09:56.560,0:09:59.360
for the West to understand this because

0:09:59.360,0:10:01.760
it's not just not good for Israel it's

0:10:01.760,0:10:04.560
not good for the Arab world they are

0:10:04.560,0:10:06.640
collapsing a lot of people think that

0:10:06.640,0:10:08.720
the Arab world is so strong and so

0:10:08.720,0:10:11.839
powerful it's rotting from the core but

0:10:11.839,0:10:14.560
they don't know the religious leaders

0:10:14.560,0:10:16.880
are telling them to keep continue the

0:10:16.880,0:10:20.000
hate instead of telling them to repent

0:10:20.000,0:10:23.360
and find the true God the love and the

0:10:23.360,0:10:25.760
friendship in the eyes of many Muslims

0:10:25.760,0:10:28.200
in the eyes of Islam itself Jews and
