His answer, in his own words
1:22:46
Maulana, agla sawal Dilli se hai Dr. Fareeda Khanam ka. unhon ne likha hai ke Maulana, yeh jo abhi present violence hua hai movie ko le ke, to اس میں انہوں نے لکھا ہے کہ ٹائمز آف انڈیا میں آیا ہے کہ "Had Muslims not re acted violently.
1:23:08
Very few people would have watched the film. Not only has it increased the curiosity of people, but now YouTube plans to put the complete video آن لائن۔" Maulana, what are your thoughts on this? یہ تو بہت صحیح بات ہے۔ main ne parha hai Dr. Sahib ke is is report ko.
1:23:30
yeh to Musalman, main ne thora sa dekha internet par, thora sa dekha hai is ko. itna absurd hai woh bilkul, yani itni theme is ki fazool hai ke woh is qabil nahi ke koi dekhe der tak. is ko aadmi is ko zara sa dekhe ga aur us ke baad chhod de ga.
1:23:53
is ko yeh to Musalman shor machaye, shor machaye to is ki ahmiyat paida karti hai. shor ke baad yahi baat hui thi Salman Rushdie ke muamle mein ke woh kitaab bhi bilkul is ki theme bohat thi, third class ki theme hai is ki. aur lekin wahan jo shor machaya hai, tab logon ko khwab kya ke is ko parho.
1:24:20
kya baat hai is kitab mein? to Salma Rushdie ke mamle mein bhi musalmanon ne shor o shor kar ke is ki ahmiyat barha di. aise hi is bar bhi shor o shor kar ke is ki ahmiyat barha di. warna koi bhi shakhs is kitab ko parhe ya is ah, yeh Innocence of Muslims ko dekhe, itna
1:24:43
ziyada laow hai, itna ziyada absurd hai ke aadmi kahe ke "la haula wala quwwata" keh ke chhod de ga. is ko is se koi problem hi koi hone wala nahi hai, har giz nahi. koi ek aadmi is is se koi asar lene wala nahi hai.
1:25:03
lekin jab shorgul karenge aap to ahmiyat barh jayegi. shorgul karne ki wajah se ahmiyat barh gayi is ki. Maulana, un ka ek aur sawal hai. انہوں نے لکھا ہے: "One of my students told me that after completing his studies, he would join
1:25:22
Jihad. I asked him the reason for his doing so. He replied that our brothers are being killed in Assam. "How can we remain silent at such oppression? We have to retaliate." Maulana, what is your? Dekhiye, yeh
1:25:40
sara mamla yeh hai ke musalmanon ke jo so called jo leader hain, bilkul musalmanon mein third class log jo hain, aa kar ke bolte hain. aur is mein stage par aur urdu akhbaron mein chhapta hai. ziyadatar urdu akhbaron mein yeh sab baatein hoti hain.
1:26:00
phir woh samajhte hain ke wahan zulm ho raha hai. akhbari reporton mein one sided reporting hoti hai, yak tarfa reporting hoti hai. yani khud musalmanon ne kya kiya, yeh nahi hoti. main is ki ek misaal deta hoon ke Burma mein aap internet se check kar lijiye ke Burma
1:26:21
mein mashhoor hai ke Burma mein zulm ho raha hai, zulm ho raha hai, zulm ho raha hai. musalmanon ko maar rahe hain. to in dilli ke kuch yahi jo so called leader hain musalmanon ke, unhon ne dilli ke jo burma ka ambassador hai, is ko letter likha ke sahib, aap se milna chahte hain is jo zulm
1:26:46
musalmanon ke khilaf ho raha hai, is se baat karne ke liye. to is ne ek letter likha. is letter ko is ne internet pe daal diya. aap dekh sakte ho is letter ko.
1:27:01
burma ke safeer ne jo dilli mein hai, us ne kaha ke aap log waqiaat se ko ko poori tarah se li jiye. aap be khabar hain is waqie se. us ne kaha ke wahan par aisa hua ke ek ek buddhist larki ko, buddhist larki ko kai
1:27:21
musalman larkon ne gang rape kiya aur phir maar bhi dala is ko. to zahir hai ke use sirf use yeh to wahan par activator hona hi tha. yeh sab baatein aap dekhein, internet maujood hai. to is tarah ki hum hum hum huma kaana harkatein jo ki jaati hain, is ko report nahi
1:27:44
karte akhbar wale. is ke retaliation ki report karte hain. in ko main kehta hoon one sided reporting. to yeh yeh yeh yeh sab se zyada yeh musalmanon ke akhbar hain, woh aag lagate hain.
1:27:59
musalmanon ke akhbar mein sab se zyada one sided reporting hoti hai. main ne ek mazmoon likha tha ke musalmanon ki jo sahafat hai, woh yellow sahafat, yellow journals ki sab se badi misaal hai. jitne musalmanon ke akhbarat hain, chahe urdu ho ya angrezi na ho, sab yellow journals ki misaal hote
1:28:22
hain. yani adhi baat na kehna, adhi baat kehna, ise log bhark bhark kar ke hote hain. to assam mein kuch nahi hai, na burma mein kuch hai. har jagah musalmanon ko batana chahiye ke tum ne jo hamakatein ki thin, us ko band karo.
1:28:42
yeh detilation hai. retilation ko woh zulm batate hain. burma mein bhi retilation hai, assam mein bhi retilation hai. to jo jo talib ilm bechara aisa soch raha hai, woh woh jante hi nahin kuch.
1:28:57
is ko haq khabar nahin hai. is musalman ke akhbar ne parh liya, is ne samajhta hai ke yahi waqea hai. halankeh musalmanon ke akhbar mein yak tarfa reporting rehti hai. to is ko agar samjha diya jaye ke tum poori soorat-e-haal ko pata karo ke kya hai, to
1:29:18
maloom hoga ke ke musalman innocent nahin hai. yani musalmanon ka koi innocent dikhate hain. sare urdu urdu akhbarat aur musalmanon ke angrezi akhbar urdu akhbar jitne hain, musalmanon ko innocent dikhate hain, masoom bilkul.
1:29:34
isi se log bhadakte hain ke hum to bilkul innocent hain, hamare khilaf khwamkhwah zulm ho raha hai. aur yeh bilkul aisa nahin hai. aap is ki aik misaal bhi ban jati hai. aap ko aap internet pe check kar lijiye ke burma ka safeer jo india mein hai, us ne
1:29:56
jo khat likha tha, us ko us ne daal diya hai internet par. us ko us ko download kar ke parh lijiyee. aap maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai miss naghma siddiqui ka.
