00:00What's 30 times 30?
00:03He says, 30.
00:04So of course, Alaska stood out of his mind.
00:07Fool.
00:08Say something with a 9 in it, you know.
00:12It's human nature to follow the crowd.
00:16A man stands up
00:19that everyone knows is the most honest they've ever seen.
00:23And says,
00:25I received news from Allah from above seven skies.
00:31Who's gonna believe him?
00:33What's happened in this room?
00:35And then, out of those that believe him,
00:38who's gonna have the guts to admit it?
00:42They once pulled off a psychology exam
00:45about human nature to follow the crowd.
00:48They brought in a hundred people.
00:50They told them, you have a math exam tomorrow.
00:53But in reality, they were all specimens.
00:55They're just testing them, thinking they're taking a math exam.
00:59And they called up the night before 99 of them.
01:04And told them, listen,
01:05no matter what happens, just say the answer is 30.
01:10And one guy is left out.
01:12Intentionally, of course.
01:14The next day, they sent them an auditorium.
01:16They asked the first guy,
01:19and leave the one that was left out for last.
01:21What's 30 times 30?
01:24He says, 30.
01:25So, of course, Alaska stood out of his mind.
01:28Fool.
01:29Say something with a nine in it, you know.
01:31They go to the second guy.
01:32What's 30 times 30?
01:34It's 30.
01:36This guy's insane.
01:37These guys didn't go to school.
01:39The third guy, what's 30 times 30?
01:4030.
01:42The 49th guy, what's 30 times 30?
01:4430.
01:45The 99th guy, what's 30 times 30?
01:4730.
01:49They get to the 100th guy.
01:52They ask him, what's 30 times 30?
01:53What do you think he said?
01:5430.
01:56Even though he's so sure of the answer,
01:59how can it be that everybody's wrong and I'm right?
02:02That's it.
02:04Now imagine that with the sahaba,
02:06the whole world is against you and not in a math problem.
02:09If you oppose, there's a knife at your neck.
02:13That's the difficulty of it.
02:15Islam began as a stranger.
02:18And it shall return to being a stranger
02:21just as it began.
02:24Look nowadays.
02:26Turn on any channel.
02:27It's no more news.
02:29It's just about the Muslims.
02:30All about the Muslims.
02:34Things that normally would not be worth mentioning.
02:37They're top headlines now.
02:39You guys remember a few years ago,
02:42the teddy bear in Sudan
02:45that was named what?
02:47Muhammad, right?
02:49So they want to revoke the guy's citizenship.
02:51At least, you know.
02:53Throw him off the country.
02:54The whole world stood up and refused to sit down.
02:56About a teddy bear?
02:57About one guy's citizenship?
02:59How many people are killed from drunk driving in America?
03:02Every day or every year?
03:06There's nothing else.
03:07Just about the Muslims.
03:10Hijab.
03:11Did she complain? She didn't complain.
03:13You're complaining on her behalf.
03:14Who said she's oppressed in hijab?
03:16That's all there is on the news.
03:17So the Muslims, watch out.
03:19They have a concept called jihad.
03:21Let's say we have a concept called jihad.
03:24Where are Muslims?
03:26Invading and conquering and doing all these things now.
03:29We're the ones in all of our countries
03:31being attacked within our homes.
03:34What kind of power do we possess?
03:36But the point is, it's about the Muslims.
03:40Now we always feel like we're on the defensive.
03:42And the psychology of a person changes.
03:45Strangers.
