Discussion on Yemen Conflict and Innocent Victims

You agree that the Sa-, the Saudis are killing innocent people?

No, I never said that. Where did the conflict begin in Yemen?

Where?

I don't know if the Saudis-

See, look, that's the problem. People don't even know where the conflict

started.

Yeah.

People don't even know how the conflict started. That's the problem.

Okay, do you know then?

People just read CNN or they listen to BBC,

and then they make a

judgment based upon that. The conflict in Yemen started by the

Iranian, the Shiite-backed militias

of the Houthis, who have a worldview of a Shiite

state in Yemen. Saudi Arabia got involved with other

countries, and even Western countries agreed with the

campaign at the

beginning. Going to the question when innocent children and

women-

And civilians-

It's a ridiculous question.

No, it's not.

It is a ridiculous-- Which Muslim would say

that they agree with the

killing of innocent women and innocent children?

It's a ridiculous question.

No, it's not.

It's a, there's a question and there's a kasb behind it.

I lived in Yemen.

You ever been to Yemen?

No, I've not.

I've lived there. I've lived in Saada. I've lived in Dhammaj.

I've lived amongst the Yemeni people.

So obviously, when we see our brothers and sisters even starving and

experiencing disease, it saddens us.

But you do understand it goes against the code of conduct of the prophet.

Listen, look, look. Wait, wait.

I'm just saying that.

Of course.

You do understand that?

But it, it wasn't deliberate, was it?

Was it deliberate?

It wasn't deliberate, was it?

How do you know?

I mean, obviously-

I, like, only I don't even know.

Akhi, listen, I go with the asr, the origin.

When I, when I'm dealing with my Muslim brothers

and sisters, that I believe that

the origin is that they would not target deliberately Muslims to kill them.

I go with the asr. Now, if you're claiming

that it's away from the asr,

""You bring your proof."" The asr with the Muslim

is husn az-zann. Have a good thought.

The Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, said, ""Suspicion is the worst lie."" Give

me a dalia that was on purpose. Also, ikhwan, barakallah fiakum, we are in a

time that is important for us to learn our religion.

Because with regards to what takes place in the world, we have to

judge it based upon Quran and based upon the Sunnah of the Prophet,

sallallahu

alaihi wasallam. If you don't have knowledge of the Quran

and the Sunnah of the

Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, then you are in danger of following your

emotions, then you're in danger of following other

people's agendas.
