 The answer is that Islam, on the level of accurate consciousness, avails the society the opportunity of forming moralist temple individuals and ethically reach people. Asalaamu alaikum guys, wait. Before you watch this video, be ready to read comments from some folks who hate Islam. The position of their criticism of this video wouldn't be on the merit of its arguments or the strength of its convictions, but on the fact that Muslim influencers are talking about no accused man, Russell Brunt. Hillary Clinton is on the legacy media warning of potential election interference in 2024 and of an authoritarian dictator invading foreign lands. But is this a matter that could be resolved by her simply looking in a mirror? They would say, oh, Muslims are trying to draw him close to themselves as they allegedly did to undertake. Oh, Muslims are attempting to get another popular Muslim influencer. Yes, he has been accused and the law enforcement agents would do what they know best and the outcome would be communicated to everyone. If he's guilty, he would be charged. If he's innocent, he would know as well. Yet Russell Brunt's method of public criticism has always fascinated me. You can actually say his conservative day from his position one can easily think so, but Russell tells the truth the hard way. Unlike others, he spews it without biases and on philosophical perspective, he maintains positions that defy actual fallacy. Just take a look at his attempt to squash in some hurries, disjointed views about the science of consciousness. If we can somehow extract what is positive from what is called religion, it leads us to ideas such as fraternity, unity, oneness, compassion. Do you not find connections between what you have learned in neuroscience and what you have learned from studying Buddhism? Oh, yeah. The connections are very direct. How they know that stuff? Just because it's just the nature of consciousness. You're talking about people who have spent, especially in the Buddhist case, just an incredible amount of time studying from the first person side what experience is like, what his character is. The central claim of Buddhism is not just Buddhism, but Buddhism and I would put several of the Indian traditions like Advaita Vedanta in there with the central claim is that the self is an illusion, the ego is an illusion. And when I say self, I don't mean that people are illusions, I mean that the sense that you have a subject riding around in your head thinking your thoughts, that there's a thinker in addition to the thoughts, that's an illusion. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. He was apt and what he said is related to the concept of God and the need for a true religion. Recall he was actually talking to a publicly declared atheist, Sam Harris, who like his superior rejects the existence of a higher intelligence. I mean God who created heaven and earth. However, Russell Brand's position on the Western treatment of the Islamic world and its culture aimed him my respect to be honest. But for now, I never knew he had any idea against Islamic racism. I thought he was just a comedian and a political commentator, but he has demonstrated the ability to separate it to ideas of Islam and Western superiority and then use clear argument to reveal Christian or what I might say is Western hypocrisy. Let's watch these, I'll be back to react to it. I think this is the precisely the kind of reasoning that's used to justify the bombing and commercial colonization of those territories. They're not like us, they treat women different from us. I don't think we're in a position to make those judgments. I think that these kind of sort of theoretical tableaus are used to create a false hierarchy and a moral superiority by a dominant culture that subsequently uses thinking of this nature to underwrite the modern day colonization and subjugation of these people on a massive scale. And as barbaric and disgusting as 9-11 was, a daily 9-11 since then so that a state system can perpetuate itself using rationalism, using comfortable means of executions that glide slyly by all white in the sky is no better than 9-11. It is better. And suicide bombing. It's just aesthetics really. The suicide bombing looks bad. A drone bombing looks nice. It's not just aesthetics. It's not just aesthetics. How is it not aesthetic? When you're talking about the possibility of something like nuclear terrorism or biological terrorism that someone tries to weaponize smallpox and kill 100 million people. That's just mentioned that nuclear terrorism is not hypothetical. It already happened 50 years ago, underwritten by secularism. This is glaring, mate. It buffers that an educated person like Sam Harris, he prides in what everyone says is his ability to think outside the box would stoop so intellectually low as to buy the notion that Western culture by Christian civilization should be applied to all people at all times. This arrogant idea has been opposed by a lot of modern philosophers. For example, the Russian dog in Alexander argues that it was the will of God that he created the world with different adaptations, cultures and possibilities and any attempt to defeat the natural designs are destined to fail. Let's listen to Russell once more. I won't call that nuclear terrorism. Nuclear, I don't know. I bet if you're in Nagasaki that day, semantics wouldn't be your primary concern. What should we call that thing? Ow, my teeth! When you say suicide bomber, I admit that it's extraordinary and it's difficult for us to understand. But what I'm curious about, Sam, is what are the prerequisite conditions for suicide bombing even to be relevant? And I also can't help thinking when we recall events like Waco or any disruption or anything that ruptures the American mainframe. We're not Americans. I think this goes beyond nation. If you find yourself in opposition to the state, the means by which the state will deploy violence doesn't need to resort to sort of lurid, livid, blatant, clumsy acts like suicide bombing because the power is so evident, the ability to exert power and control is so total that it doesn't need sort of like almost the sort of graphic and horrific whimsy of something like a suicide bombing albeit underwritten by something that looks peculiar to people like us that value life and value fire and don't have a belief system that's like, oh, I'll be in some sort of Valhalla substance. What Sam is finding difficult to accept at this juncture is his fear of Islam. Despite his research, he found it difficult to look at Islam on a larger picture. He apparently wanted to drag Islam to the famous opium of the Marxist maxim where he tried unsuccessfully to make the religion appear like the actual motivator for the relapse of some people into terrorism, into crime, yet at the same time he shot himself in the foot by stating that some of the dangerous terrorists and suicide bombers already had history of crime and perversion. The question now would be how do we also state that these people are Muslims in the true sense of the word? The answer is that Islam on the level of accurate consciousness avails the society the opportunity of forming more or less temple individuals and ethically reach people.
