What Destroys Man? - Hamza Yusuf

what we need to do as a community all of us together is we need to wage we need to wage I don't want to use war because when Muslims say war they get in trouble but we we need to wage I'll use Brian Wilson sir we need to wage unconditional peace against a culture controlled by a handful of people and people say well that's that are you saying there's a conspiracy I'm saying that you don't hang around long enough after the movie to read the credits there's no conspiracy about who made the film you just saw a film and that film had an agenda and if you didn't stay long enough you'll often miss what the agenda was for instance there was a film called executive decision with Steven Seagal and Kirk something or other and a whole bunch of other famous people that people go and see just because their names are in there they don't care what the movies about but they go to see those people this film was about terrorists Muslim terrorists taking over airplane and interestingly enough the white guy who goes to save the plane is using a plane that can latch on to another plane which was actually a Pentagon project that was canned by Congress and the Pentagon was upset about this so he latches on to the plane and then a whole bunch of minorities are under his command and they go in to take over and get these Arabs out of there who are gonna blow up the entire East Coast how they got that baggage onto that plane is another story but that's Hollywood so the interesting thing about this is if you stayed till the end of the credits at the very end not at the beginning after Steven Seagal and all those characters and the producer and this they said we'd like to thank the United States Air Force we'd like to thank the United States Navy we'd like to thank the the Secretary of Defense for making this film possible that's an agenda and those people who didn't say long enough to see the credits don't realize that they were being affected by what they saw there's propaganda there you can everything that John Taylor Gatto told you you can find in public libraries the Library of Congress or you can get it through interlibrary loan some of them you'll have a very hard time finding and I'm really serious about this I tried to find a book called the evil eye it took me two years and the book was about a lot of studies that were done about television this man's premise was that he felt that there was a lot of brain mind-control going on in television but it's it's a fascinating book to see the studies of what they knew back in the 50s about the the severe effects of television were having on people so where do we go beyond schooling what do we do as as people we are human beings here together and we're here because we have a sense I hope of the importance of what we we have going on here we're human beings some of us have children I have children I'm concerned about my children I'm concerned about the world they're growing up in I'm concerned about the commodification of human being I'm concerned about human resources I don't like that one of these guys that went and shot this place up he killed all these people in the human resource office because they wouldn't give him a months in advance pay so that he could buy Christmas presents for his children now to imagine the stress that this man was under to actually because he was denied that month in advance paid by the human resources to go and do something that tragic because it is tragic but the entire system is tragic what produced that man is tragic I lived in the Sahara Desert they don't have mass murderers they don't have children shooting their fathers they don't have children going to school and shooting their fellow children they wouldn't even think of it it wouldn't even occur to their mind or their heart they're not more human than we are they're not less human than where they're human beings but they're in an environment in which their minds have been manipulated and controlled to the degree to which they're going berserk they're running amok look at these this last killing and I have a map here of the school killing which is interesting because they're all over the country I mean it's almost it's amazing how they're just you know what happens here then here and then here and these are these are tragic events beyond belief but if you look at these characters when you see their pictures the same glazed look in the eye those boys you saw that picture that boy in in San Diego he doesn't know what he did he doesn't know why he did it our Prophet Mohammed said one of the signs at the end of time he said yeah yeah I didn't as a man layered reality really marketed well and mock to Lima cote de the killer will not know why he's killing and the one being killed will not know why he is being killed it's a hadith in Sahih Muslim the killer will not know why he's killing and the one being killed will not know why he's being killed what is going on what has brought us to that point we have lost community we've lost family these things have been taken away from people and they weren't taken with ease people thought read history read what happened a hundred years ago in the United States of America what the farmers did now you look at the farms in in America the highest rate of suicide is in farmers in the United States of America they're committing suicide when I was a child we we used to sing a song Old MacDonald had a farm eieio and on his farm he had a cow eieio and what did the cow do it went moo moo old macdonald had his farm taken away from him because he couldn't pay the bank his cow doesn't go moo moo anymore because he's got foot-and-mouth disease or mad cows disease really and old MacDonald's has been replaced by McDonald's that's who replaced him that's who bought the family farm and he's gonna genetically alter PHY alter the corn that you're eating he's going to genetically alter the food that you're eating in the health food stores in the United States they have to put out things that say we cannot guarantee the absence of genetically modified food in our foods and if you have an ounce of intelligence to think that this ignoramus that we call Homo Sapien can improve on perfection can improve on the god-given seed the seed of life if you believe that man this is called hubris in the ancient Greeks this is what destroys man is his arrogance his belief that he can do things that he is not qualified to do and the sign of an intelligent man is to know his limits to know his limits really we have to question what is going on out there and our silence is complicity the sign of one is complicit in the crime if you stand by and watch a crime happening you're part of that crime you're aiding and abetting that crime if you don't do something about it the Arabs say the hadith says sukhothai Adama to Riva silence is the sign of contentment silence is the sign of contentment we should be standing up the Europeans went out and marched in large numbers to prevent genetically modified food and yet know these things people aren't even debating these things because we have a educational system that makes us docile that makes us think like the Don Taylor Gatto said it makes people accept orders even if they're stupid it makes them accept there's people that yeah there was an old lady in England and she was pouring tea she had her cream there and as she was born she said you know something very strange about this cream when I was young I remember cream going off really fast but this cream doesn't go off anymore it'll last two weeks my grandfather said he had an orchard and used to tell us if we found a worm in the Apple he said I wouldn't eat an apple a worm wouldn't he seriously think about that people I don't want to eat a tomato that doesn't bruise you going to supermarkets now and I you think you're in a science fiction movie the colors are different where are they getting apples like that I don't remember apples that look like that when I didn't remember strawberries like that seriously you think this is what's happening you're watching this thing happening before your eyes we need to wake up and take our lives back and the first thing that you can do the most empowering thing that you can do is take your children out of this system protect them at least for the first ten years at least for ten years don't be afraid to educate them in your homes you can do it and they'll do it themselves and they will surprise you at how intelligent they are and you'll see that light in their eyes it won't go out after two or three years of public schooling it'll still be there that brighter you'll see that child still loves you it isn't listening to the children at school telling them how much they hate their parents and there are some children in school that they do hate their parents they feed their children they do terrible things to their children and your children are listening to that and with peer pressure they start hating their parents they start contributing to the the dialogue my mom's so stupid my dad's so stupid you know what he made me do children in in West Africa don't do that they couldn't imagine saying that their parent was stupid a child couldn't imagine that the Arabian prophet sallallaahu said I'm once said to his venez never curse your parents and they said yatta so Lola how could we curse our parents it wasn't even in their frame of reference now look at the subtlety of this meaning he said by cursing another man's parents you caused them to curse your parents so don't curse another man's parents but look how he began it don't curse your parents by cursing another man's parents you cause them to curse your parents like these poor unguided Afghani people that just blew up this Buddha that's been there for 1,500 years the greatest Muslims in the history of Islam were living in Afghanistan and before that some of the greatest Buddhists both was a center of Buddhist learning many of those scholars became Muslims and actually contributed to the development of Islamic logic the greatest scholars never said go blow up those statues of Buddha but what the press will not tell you is the reason how what brought that about like those companions who asked how could we curse our parents how did that Buddha get destroyed it got destroyed because for 20 years the Afghani people have lived under the tyranny of being victims of a cold war game played between two giants called America and Russia of peaceful people of proud people a people of great dignity of people of great strength of people that that are praised in the literature of the English for their tenacity one of the prime ministers said in in Parliament how can we defeat a people speaking of the Afghan ease when they look down our barrels they see the gates of paradise how do we defeat those people the midwife and educated Afghani woman a physician Adi fellows add a beautiful Afghani woman educated erudite knew her poetry knew her culture was proud to be an Afghani she was the obstetrician of my family she couldn't go back to her country she came to this country to learn medicine to go back and practice medicine in her country and the war broke out she was not ashamed of her people she was proud of her people she was a literate person people don't talk about that because history is in a vacuum history is what CNN tells you that's not history that's what happened yesterday or today whatever the latest headline news is it's told without any context it's told without any ability for people to analyze and look at what's happened this is what people are given [Music]
