Transcript [00:00] So there was an incident recently in [00:02] White Chapel in a in a part of London [00:04] that is heavily Muslim where a Christian [00:06] preacher was disparaging Islam. It was [00:09] standing in public and saying negative [00:11] things about Muhammad and about Islam [00:12] and they called the police and there was [00:14] a whole incident there. And the [00:17] aftermath of it, the discussion around [00:19] it, you know, brings to mind an issue [00:22] that is afflicting Westerners [00:24] everywhere, not just in places like [00:26] England that have been, you know, [00:27] heavily overrun at this point by Islam, [00:30] but about the encroachment of Islam and [00:32] the failure of many Westerners to see it [00:34] and address it properly. So, that's what [00:36] I want to talk about in this video. [00:37] Let's start with a clip from this from [00:39] this reporter. [00:40] >> This is White Chapel and this is a [00:42] Muslim area. Apparently, according to a [00:44] local resident who had a confrontation [00:46] with a police woman on Thursday. Now, [00:51] people say many things about this area. [00:53] It has a large Muslim population. We've [00:56] got quite a big mosque behind me. Um, [00:59] and the demographic change has been very [01:01] interesting in the last 20 years. Let's [01:04] talk to some local residents about what [01:06] they think about the recent news and how [01:09] they feel about living in this area. [01:12] Those who contacted the police told us [01:14] their actions were justified because, as [01:16] they put it, this is a Muslim area [01:19] >> and this is Eastond. [01:23] >> That claim raises questions about how [01:25] people see the rules applying locally. [01:28] So, we went out to ask residents what [01:30] they thought. [01:31] >> Would you say this is a Muslim area? [01:34] >> Uh, more or less. [01:35] >> Is White Chapel a Muslim area? [01:37] >> Well, apparently it is. But for them to [01:39] even be proudly say this is a Muslim [01:41] area when Christians are trying to live [01:43] there too is totally unacceptable. [01:45] >> Yeah, definitely it's Muslim area. [01:48] Mainly Muslim people living around here. [01:51] >> It is a Muslim area. [01:52] >> Yeah. [01:53] >> Lots of Bengali people and Muslim people [01:55] live around this area. [01:57] >> Excuse me. Is White Chapel a Bengali [01:59] area? [02:00] >> Yeah. Yeah. Bengali area. Yeah. Bengali. [02:02] Yeah. Yeah. [02:02] >> Yeah. You don't think so? [02:03] >> No. [02:04] >> Yep. [02:05] >> And we just came here about half an hour [02:06] back. So it's too early for us to [02:08] comment. [02:09] >> Okay, fair enough. [02:09] >> And even if it is, it doesn't really [02:11] matter. [02:11] >> Okay. [02:12] >> We we come from India and we I mean [02:14] multicultural. [02:15] >> You have some Islamic areas in India [02:17] though. [02:17] >> We have too many. We have too many [02:19] Islamic areas. [02:21] >> Chap is an area. No. [02:22] >> Is it a Muslim area? [02:24] >> I say that there's a percentage high [02:26] percentage of Muslims, but I wouldn't [02:28] call it a Muslim area. It's a it's an [02:30] area for anyone. [02:31] >> I presume maybe yes. It's a nice Muslim [02:34] area because there's a big mosque here [02:36] and all the food are halal. That's the [02:38] most important. [02:40] >> So, at the weekend just that way, there [02:42] was a Christian preacher that obviously [02:45] caused uh a lot of drama within the [02:48] area, the police were called uh on the [02:51] pretense that the Christian preacher had [02:54] said things about Islam. Now, those who [02:56] called the police officer were, I guess, [02:59] under the misapprehension that it is an [03:01] offense to say anything bad about Islam, [03:04] but you can understand why because just [03:06] a couple of yards behind me is one of [03:09] the biggest mosques in Western Europe [03:11] with a capacity of 7,000 [03:14] worshippers at a time. So, we are really [03:16] in the eye of the storm here in White [03:19] Chapel. Some residents are saying the [03:22] police should be called if someone says [03:23] something offensive about Muslims. But [03:26] that raises a bigger question. Where [03:28] does offense end and criminality begin? [03:31] In the UK, blasphemy laws were scrapped [03:34] years ago. The law covers threats and [03:36] harassment, not simply hurt feelings. [03:39] Critics argue that once you start [03:41] policing offense, you risk creating [03:44] different standards for different [03:46] groups. And that's where the tension [03:48] really lies. If people say things that [03:50] are offensive to Muslims, should the [03:51] police be called? [03:53] >> Yes, definitely. [03:56] >> Okay, so you see what's going on here. [03:59] And just a second or two before uh I uh [04:02] before this guy came on screen and I [04:04] paused the video, you might have seen [04:06] that the White Chapel subway station, [04:08] the tube station, had the name of the [04:11] station in both Arabic and English on [04:13] it. And uh look, that's uh obviously [04:16] we're talking about people who came to [04:18] England not to assimilate but to take [04:19] over neighborhoods. And this is a topic [04:21] we've been talking about a lot. Now I [04:23] want to go to an a a segment of an [04:25] interview that Piers Morgan did with [04:28] Godad, the great professor and public [04:30] intellectual from Montreal, originally [04:32] Lebanese. [04:34] And uh he had the following exchange [04:37] with Piers Morgan. So have a look at [04:39] this. [04:42] Let's pull it up. There we go. Draw the [04:45] analogy that I promised earlier. The [04:47] shingles virus is something that you and [04:50] I, given that we're roughly the same [04:51] age, is something that we should be [04:53] concerned about. It lays dormant in you [04:56] for 20, 30, 40 years. And then there is [04:59] a catalyst that then can trigger the [05:03] shingles virus and it results in very [05:05] uncomfortable situation for you even [05:07] though it laid dormant in you for 40 [05:10] years. So when Islam is only 1% of the [05:13] population or two or three they don't [05:16] yet have the numbers to be able to do [05:18] the things that would otherwise worry [05:20] you. But once they become 20%, 30% 40% [05:24] then we can exactly predict the trae [05:27] trajectory as we would diabetes. So [05:29] again you have to have the imagination [05:33] to extrapolate into the future and then [05:36] hopefully inshallah [05:38] the light will come to you. [05:40] >> Right? But there'll be lots of people [05:42] who hear you you know compare Islam to a [05:45] disease who will find that incredibly [05:47] offensive. And there'll be many mo many [05:50] millions of Muslims in the UK because [05:52] statistically the absolutely vast [05:55] majority of Muslims in the UK do not [05:57] commit uh radical acts of terrorism. So [06:00] 99% at least are living in peaceful [06:04] harmony and not engaging in this. And in [06:07] fact a tiny fraction of British [06:10] Pakistani Muslim men for example were [06:12] engaged in the grooming gangs albeit [06:14] their behavior was disgusting and [06:17] reprehensive on the cover up was just as [06:19] bad. So my point being that you know [06:21] that as I read out earlier to the panel [06:23] the vast majority of sex attacks in the [06:26] UK are still perpetrated by white men [06:29] for example right so you know statistics [06:31] can be twisted any way people want but [06:33] this categorization of Islam as a [06:36] disease in a country like the UK I just [06:39] don't sense that [06:41] >> of course by the way I don't know if [06:42] you're doing this willfully or not I'm [06:44] not categorizing Islam as a disease I'm [06:46] drawing an analogy the definition of an [06:48] analogy is to draw exactly a comparative [06:52] mechanism of how things might [06:54] proliferate. So I'm not saying Islam [06:56] >> but you were direct Hang on G. Let's not [06:58] be disingenuous. You were directly [07:00] comparing it to the impact of having a [07:03] disease that spreads. [07:05] >> No, what I'm saying is that there the [07:08] the the phenomenon, whatever it may be, [07:11] may lie dormant until there is a tipping [07:14] point that serves as a catalyst. So if [07:16] you don't like me comparing it to Islam, [07:18] if we were to have millions and million [07:21] millions of Orthodox Jews that come into [07:24] an area, there will be a number when the [07:28] likelihood of teaching evolution in the [07:31] schools where there are tons of Orthodox [07:33] Jews would reduce because they don't [07:36] believe in the theory of evolution. So [07:38] in this case, I'm not arguing that Jews [07:40] are a disease. I'm drawing an analogy. [07:42] But [07:43] >> okay, this is an absurd exchange uh [07:46] because you know as God said there and I [07:49] appreciate the way he put it, he doesn't [07:51] know if Piers is doing this willfully or [07:53] not. Uh the difference between a [07:56] comparison and an analogy is kind of [07:58] what's escaping Piers Morgan. So So on [08:00] that point, uh Godsad put out a separate [08:04] video to respond to Piers Morgan's [08:07] inability to know the difference between [08:09] a comparison and an analogy. Have a look [08:11] at this. [08:13] This is [08:16] of you who watched my most uh recent [08:20] appearance on Pierce Morgan's show might [08:23] remember that the structure of our [08:27] 20inut exchange was him taking a [08:31] position and then my offering a set of [08:34] analogies to demonstrate [08:37] uh the erroneous nature of his [08:40] positions. And I use analogies because [08:43] they're actually an incredibly important [08:46] and powerful [08:48] uh cognitive structure of how to make [08:50] arguments. [08:52] In this book right here, in my 2023 [08:56] book, I really do hope more people were [08:58] to go out and order a copy. uh between [09:03] pages 118 and 122 I offer some [09:09] uh discussion of the importance of [09:12] analogical reasoning. I'll just read a [09:14] small part just from the introduction [09:16] although the entire section the entire [09:18] book is fantastic. In my public [09:21] engagement I often use analogical [09:23] reasoning to demonstrate the fallacy of [09:25] a given position. The power of analogies [09:27] comes from our human desire to compare [09:29] and con contrast experiences and data. [09:33] Or to put it in the context of this [09:35] chapter, analogies apply intellectual [09:38] variety seeking and interdisciplinary [09:40] interests to the common common sense [09:42] application of logic. Some of the [09:44] greatest scientific insights in human [09:46] history were arrived at via analogical [09:49] reasoning. perhaps none as famously as [09:52] Johans Kepler's use of extensive [09:55] analogies in developing his cosmological [09:58] work on planetary motion. So this is in [10:01] the 2023 the sad truth about happiness [10:04] book and so despite the fact that I had [10:07] prepared a very broad range of analogies [10:10] for uh peers I wasn't able to get [10:13] through the point that I was trying to [10:16] make. I mean there were different [10:17] analogies were used for slightly [10:18] different reasons. But one of the [10:20] arguments I was trying to make is that [10:22] you really have to have the [10:25] imagination to extrapolate from a [10:28] current position. If the current [10:30] position is this, can I trace a [10:32] trajectory to forecast where I'll be at [10:35] time t plus x? And so let me try three [10:39] new uh attempts. Okay. So if a train is [10:44] one kilometer away and it is traveling [10:49] toward me where I am stuck on the train [10:52] tracks, it's a kilometer away. It's [10:54] traveling at 60 km an hour and now I [10:57] have to decide, hey, can I predict the [11:00] trajectory of where this is going to go? [11:03] Well, it turns out if you do the [11:04] calculations, Grock did the calculations [11:06] for all these three examples I'm going [11:08] to give you next, it takes exactly 60 [11:11] seconds for the train to hit you. But at [11:13] second one, second two, second three, [11:16] second four, second dot dot dot 59. See, [11:21] the train is not hitting me. There is no [11:23] problem. So for 59 out of the 60 [11:25] seconds, I was perfectly fine. This is [11:29] how Piers is thinking. Look, here I am [11:32] on the street. There's only 6% Muslims. [11:35] Nothing can go wrong. The train is [11:37] barreling down. Okay, you don't like [11:38] this analogy? Here's another one. Now, [11:41] these are in a sense hyperbolic because [11:43] they seem so obvious, but they're they [11:46] exactly demonstrate the point of the [11:49] inability to extrapolate from a current [11:52] position using very predictable trends [11:54] to a future position. [11:57] The the two atomic bombs that were [11:59] dropped that were dropped on Hiroshima [12:01] and Nagasaki at the end of World War II [12:04] by the Americans on Japan took 43 [12:10] seconds to hit the ground [12:14] from the place where they were launched [12:17] or dropped. So for 42 out of those 43 [12:21] seconds, the person who saw the bomb [12:24] dropping said, "See, the dropping of the [12:27] bomb didn't result in anything. It's [12:29] perfectly fine." At the 43 second, [12:31] they're incinerated into oblivion. [12:35] Imagination to extrapolate. The bomb is [12:38] dropping for 90 plus% 99% of the time [12:43] you're alive after it dropped. You're [12:45] only dead when it hits the ground. Okay. [12:49] Number three, [12:51] if you jump off the Empire State [12:54] Building, it takes about 8.8 to 9 [12:58] seconds for your brain to be splattered [13:01] on the ground because there is a very [13:03] predictable reality. It's called gravity [13:06] that will ensure that if you jump out, [13:09] you will die. But for many, many [13:11] seconds, you're not dead. As a matter of [13:14] fact, it's a very exhilarating form of [13:17] adrenaline freefall, [13:20] but you're dead. So, I hope [13:24] my friend Pierce Morgan, who by the way, [13:27] I really do appreciate going on his show [13:29] because he's always very respectful with [13:31] me. We always have good conversations, [13:33] but I just need to find a way to crack [13:37] that nut to be able to say you can't [13:40] keep going, but it's time t equal now. [13:45] It's perfect. So, we're all good. [13:48] I'm trying. Take care, everybody. [13:51] >> Okay. [13:53] You know, God is great. So, you know, [13:55] he's uh he does a great job there. So, [13:58] this reminds me of a conversation I had [14:00] with a friend of mine. So, I grew up in [14:02] Canada. I grew up I lived in Montreal [14:04] until I was 14 and then I went for high [14:06] school to Toronto and I stayed there [14:08] through my through my college years. And [14:11] uh you know, Canada has really turned uh [14:16] quite against uh Israel there. There [14:19] were a lot of pro kamas demonstrations. [14:21] Anti-semitism has been on the rise [14:23] precipitously uh in Canada. If you've [14:25] been following what's been happening [14:26] there for the last couple of years, [14:28] massive increase in the Muslim [14:30] population has contributed greatly to [14:31] this. There was already some of this [14:34] when I was there. When I was in when I [14:35] was at York University back in the late [14:37] 80s and early 90s, we there was a Muslim [14:39] student association that we had some [14:40] run-ins with. That was the very [14:42] beginning of it. Uh but things have [14:45] gotten much much worse in Canada. So, I [14:48] had I was having a conversation with a [14:49] friend of mine who's still back in [14:50] Canada and uh I asked him, you know, [14:55] you know, are you planning to leave? [14:57] Like, at what point are are the Jews [14:58] planning to, you know, are you planning [15:01] to get up and leave and come to Israel? [15:04] And he said, well, you know, it's not as [15:06] bad as you think it is here. So, I said, [15:09] okay. I said, do you have any hope or [15:14] any optimism? do you see any playbook [15:17] moving forward of the situation [15:19] improving for Jews in Canada or do you [15:23] only see it deteriorating? And he [15:24] admitted that he only sees it [15:26] deteriorating. So I said, well then in [15:27] that case it doesn't really matter [15:31] um you know how far along you are on the [15:33] process and how bad it currently is [15:36] because if you agree that the trajectory [15:39] is only in one direction the way God [15:42] presents it in these analogies the trae [15:45] to extrapolate a future situation from [15:47] the current trajectory where it's [15:49] obvious where it's going and there's no [15:51] there's no uh there's no rational reason [15:55] to see the situation reversing itself. [15:58] So that's what we call inevitability. So [16:01] I I think uh you know this is I don't [16:04] think I have to say anymore. Uh I you [16:06] know people in the west really need to [16:07] wake up and realize that if there's any [16:10] if there's any there are parts of the [16:11] west that are too far gone like you see [16:13] what you see what uh you know what [16:14] Newcastle um I'm I'm sorry what um [16:19] whatever that neighborhood in London [16:20] that we were showing in that first clip [16:22] you know what it looks like and what [16:23] other parts of Europe look like. But for [16:24] people who are in places like the United [16:26] States and Canada, which maybe not be as [16:28] far gone as Europe, there's some tough [16:30] decisions that need to be made uh if [16:31] this is ever going to get turned around. [16:33] But but the most basic the most basic [16:36] realization has to be what God is [16:38] talking about here is the ability to [16:40] simply logically uh uh [16:45] play things out in your mind and extract [16:47] the obvious outcome from the current [16:49] situation. And I think that's what a lot [16:51] of people in the West are are missing, [16:53] probably somewhat willfully, because [16:55] they don't want to admit that things are [16:56] as far gone as they are. All right, [16:59] folks. Uh, thanks for watching and uh [17:02] please like, share, and subscribe and [17:03] all that good stuff.
