Our Children Have Been Set Up

0:00this audio is brought to you by muslim central ا RT yemek بكم تلا citizens for life to take a clip of my say Self .. look at the radical you know preacher they have they're telling the Muslims to take over NO I'm telling Americans to take over what is yours it's your right that you're faith it's your right that you're heritage it's your right that you're culture but time doesn't matter and don't say anything compound هذا المأيمية إ Volume 5 أني في المدمımı على الفرس عن المorem من أن يفعل أخرى للأ dumplings مأمبين الأใك충 الزور Esperان تحدي利 ما تتحت بيlation نسيك يط� التسبول في أشياء والأبدالم where the new curriculum will have phrases about our faith that

1:02are extremely negative the positives that used to be in the curriculum have been eliminated in the past curriculum. there were sections about Muslim contribution to science to algebra all of this has been taken out things have been added the Arab slave trade there's a sectional on that one as if they مindى أن الأسفاء المعدادair . النسหมpak starts لم نفعل هو направغ Songido لم نحن الأ armpinet يحبون أن يكون مفترض و the horrific events of 911 are being portrayed as coming straight from radical Islam right in the textbooks of a 10 year old يحبون أن يكون مفترض من the faith of Islam, أحسن الله.

2:02و the worst of all, the one that really hurts us the most. they have said things about our Prophet ﷺ that I'm not going to repeat from the member. عجيكتب has been used that are very very stakhر الله. and that's going to be in the curriculum. specific adjectives. Why do I say this in the Khudba? I say this in the Khudba because unfortunately what we are seeing now is the hijacking even of the educational system by the bigots and the Islam of folks. I mean at least leave education out of it but no. even children's education has now been something of a political agenda. and the Palestinian Israeli conflict has now been immersed even into children's schooling and to present Islam in a negative light and to remove anything negative about what every civilization has I have said this from the mimba here. Muslims are humans.

3:03there's good and bad about Muslim history. Islam is divine. Muslims are human. we have good and bad in our history. okay you want to do that be fair to the other religions other civilizations but when you only bring some negatives of Islamic civilization and remove all negatives of other civilizations what is the impression of a 10 year old. this has already passed. I need you to understand for the next few decades maybe a lot of us till when the next curriculum change happens millions of children and not just in Texas because Texas is so big everything is big in Texas because Texas is so big many states around Texas follow Texas's Texas board of education. so essentially multiple states now are now going to be taught little children are going to be taught versions of history and religion that will impact their psyche. they won't even know how. why am I mentioning this now? because my dear brothers and sisters this happened in our watch. do you know there's not a single Muslim involved in the entire process of the board of education.

4:06the way this country works it's the parents and the people of the city who get involved. the way this country works this is a democracy this is a civil society where everybody is supposed to get involved. who decides that? people like me and you. people that are voted into office. people that get involved in their school systems and then they run for office and the other people elect them and then they decide at the at the election level at the college level at the board level they will decide these types of things. we as a community are unfortunately a loop from this reality. and we are distanced from it to such a level we are still debating is it halal or haram to vote. we are still debating should we invite a political candidate to speak to us or not. we are still debating and living in a different alternative reality. when our children's minds are going to be changed because we are living in an alternative reality and universe. i'm sorry brothers and sisters the blame is directly on me and you we can't blame anybody else.

5:07the people who voted for this curriculum they're living in our districts. they're paying the same taxes. we have just as much right to be on that system as they do. but we don't even know how it works. we have no clue. we are disconnected from every level of engagement. and subhanallah look at the far right. when we don't engage, when we live to ourselves they say look at these immigrants they're living in ghettos. when we do engage, when we try to get involved oh look the stealth jihadists are taken over the shrietization of the country. forget them you do you. be proud of who you are. you are a muslim. you're living in this land as a citizen. you are an american. you have just as many rights as everybody else. we are not asking for special treatment. i've said this multiple times. but we will not tolerate being treated as second class citizens. we will not allow for our faith to be treated differently than other faiths. why is it that only our faith was on the agenda? no other faith was treated like our faith.

6:08entire there's on youtube go look entire arguments took place about what they should say about Islam. nobody mentioned any other faith. nobody brought up any other civilization. it was just about us. and who was there from amongst us even aware? one or two parents were there otherwise empty. who was there that was even involved in the system? i keep on telling us oh muslims. i understand we are relatively small community. but we are educated. we are masyaAllah tabarak alaah. the best jobs, the best careers. we are giving back. we are smart. we're dedicated. we're intelligent. why don't we understand that this is our land. we have to be involved in it. at every level. we have to know who's representing us at every level. who's saying what about our religion? and this is not a stealth takeover. every khutbah i give the far right loves to take a clip of my say oh look at the radical you know preacher they have they're telling the muslims to take over. no i'm telling americans to take over what is yours. it's your right that your faith. it's your right that your heritage.

7:10it's your right that your culture be represented properly. this is the reality of every faith. whether you're italian-american. whether you're Jewish-american. whether you're Buddhist-american. you have the right to be represented. we are no different. you know what the problem is? well, Allah, He has the problem is us here. we don't get involved. we're still thinking it's how wrong. or we're apathetic and lazy. one of the two. we either think it's religiously not allowed. and i've continually spoken about that. or we think what am i going to do? my dear brothers and sisters, what are you going to do? allow the next generation of texts and children to be brainwashed? millions of children are going to read nasty things about our faith. about our Prophet, and i'm a stach for the law. well, Allah, my blood boils realizing this. millions of children. and we could have stopped it. but we are totally disconnected from that world. so my appeal to you. my appeal to you. we don't have the luxury of living isolationist lives. we don't have the luxury of being in a bubble here. this affects all of us. the same children are going to grow up with negative views of Islam,

8:12negative views of our Prophet, they're being taught at the horrific events of 9-11, which we as Muslims, we should denounce. we have nothing to do with this. not a religious issue. it's political issue. we will denounce it. but they are linking it. not to political anger. they're linking it to the religion of Islam directly. can you imagine? millions of children are going to be taught this. what will happen when they grow up? the image they will have of Islam. inshaAllah next time this is going to happen. we hope we are more involved. we hope we can cleanse this to be fair to all faith traditions. we're not asking for anything unfair. but we're asking for equity. we're asking for justice. like the Prophet, the way the Prophet, the way the Prophet, we're asking everybody to retreat it fairly. we're asking do not teach children that which is going to cause civil discord later on. be positive and if there are some negatives, put it into the context. every civilization has good and bad. teach it like that. we would understand. but when you earmark only hours. when you bring negatives to only hours and every other civil and when you are factually incorrect,

9:13you will say to the Zionist project they're returning to their homeland. this is what is going to be taught here. this is what is going to be taught here. and you're going to remove Saikh's Pekobah for declaration. this is not even you are now lying to a new generation. so we have to stand up. we have to get involved. we have to realize there is no other alternative for us except to put our trust in Allah and then to do our civic duty. give back to society. contribute to the country that we're living in and do the best that we can so that everybody is treated fairly and equitably. and that will require from us a bravery and a courage to think outside the box, to listen to scholarship that might be different from the previous generation. to think about Fatawa that maybe last generation they didn't think about. there is no alternative other than we're going to be here and we're going to carve out our rights. we're going to live the way that Allah wants us to live and the Constitution allows us to live. there is no alternative other than this. so may Allah SWT help all of us to understand this reality and utilize us to do whatever good we can.
