I Have Legitimate Concerns About Islam And That's Not Bigotry
Egyptian Islamist Researcher Ali Abd Al-Aal being lectured by Swedish-Algerian Journalist Yahya Abu Zakariya on Mayadeen TV (Lebanon)
Today, if you go to the West and tour the European continent, where there are 50 million Muslims… 80% of these Muslims are beggars, living on Western welfare.
In other words, the European pay taxes, and the state gives the Muslim money to buy food. The Muslim in the West does not earn his daily bread. If he were in the Islamic world, he would die – even the cows and the goats cannot get their sustenance in the Islamic world. 80% are unemployed.
Let me give you an example from Sweden. There are 500 Islamic associations and only one Jewish association. Every mosque in Europe suffers from theft. In accordance with the European law for support of religions and cultural diversity, the state provides Muslims with funding, and the managers of the mosques steal those funds.
At times, you encounter an Imam who employs his wife as the floor sweeper, and then tells her to stay at home. Then you have fake divorces.A Muslim divorces his wife on paper, and when social services give her a home, he takes his wife back and they rent out the house on the black market. I used to visit Muslim prisoners in the West. These drug dealers and rapists would say to me: Tell the warden to get us halal food. They wanted their meat slaughtered in the Islamic way.
Ali Abd Al-Aal: Man, you are weird.
Yahya Abu Zakariya: As weird as the Islamic world?
Ali Abd Al-Aal: Give me a chance to talk here. We are aware of everything you mentioned. These things exist, but I don’t think we should be wasting your time, my time, and that of the viewers on your listing of tragedies, afflictions, and crimes….
Yahya Abu Zakariya: I did not come here in order to denounce America and Europe. I am entirely with you: Let’s bring down America, but first, let’s stop slaughtering one another, and then we can attack America.
Ali Abd Al-Aal: Brother, I didn’t ask you to denounce anyone. I have come here to discuss relations between the West and the Arab and Islamic civilization. Any toddler in Cairo or Yemen could say all the things you said.This is known to all.
Yahya Abu Zakariya: We used to invite some Islamic preachers to Western capitals. We would tell them that it is difficult to arrange morning sessions for them, because most Islamic students are at school. It’s better to do it at night. But some of those preachers preferred to spend their nights watching porn, instead of giving lessons to Islamic children.
