I've chosen to give myself a difficult task in this hood

and talk about something that's clearly politically incorrect.

And I want to start by a couple of comments that all Muslims, including myself, should be very clear on and we should remind ourselves of repeatedly.

We're not sorry for being Muslim.

And we don't apologize for anything that Allah has revealed in his book or that has been

instructed in the son of the Prophet, Allah Allah al-A-Huh is Allah.

We don't have to owe anyone else an explanation.

We don't have to be embarrassed or ashamed that your book says

this, this and this, how can you believe that? Your prophet said this, this and that, how can you believe

that? How can you agree with that? There are people that constantly try to put us in this position

and we feel like we have to defend ourselves

and sometimes we don't know the answer.

And sometimes we hear things being said about our prophet,

al-Hisat-Wa-Sal-Salam,

or things being quoted from the Quran,

and somebody will ask you, this sounds pretty barbaric.

This sounds pretty violent.

This sounds pretty inhumane or unjust.

How can you be okay with that?

You people actually believe this stuff? You guys think this is okay? And at first, when you hear it, you're like, well, you know, technically we're, no, we're not okay with it. And you take a step back and it's okay to say I don't understand any better but it's not

okay to say well that if that's what it says I disagree because we don't disagree.
