In order for you to understand why Western civilization

is very different than the Islamic world, you

need to understand the history of Islam. When

Prophet Muhammad supposedly revealed his revelation

from the angel Gabriel that he is supposed to

be the last of the prophets in the early 600s,

he started preaching in his own city Mecca.

He tried to recruit friends and followers to

be able to spread his religion, and he tried

for 12 years and failed. And after 12 years,

he was only able to recruit his immediate family

and friends. So he decided, if I go to Medina,

which was the Jewish hub of Arabia, the business

hub where the Jews lived, if I go there and

preach my religion to them, if they accept me,

that will buy me respect and stature between

my own people and they will accept me. So Prophet

Muhammad started borrowing a lot from the Old

Testament to make his religion more palatable

to the Jews, to make it a lot similar. This

is why you see a lot of similarities between

Judaism and Islam. For example, Jews don't eat

pigs, Muslims don't eat pigs. Jews pray few

times a day, Muslims pray few times a day. Jews

fast on Yom Kippur, Muslims fast on Ramadan.

And this is why you started seeing a lot of

good writing in the beginning of the Quran when

Prophet Muhammad was saying all the good things

about the people of the book. He took his message

and went to Medina trying to recruit the Jews.

Talking about the people of the book, talking

about how similar the two religions are. When

they refused to accept him and follow him as

the last of the prophet, that's when he turned

against them and started killing them and started

expelling them. That's when Islam went from

a spiritual movement for the first 12 years

of Islam into a political movement cloaked in

religion after the year of the Hijra, after

Muhammad went to Medina and the Jews did not

accept him. He became a military warrior and

declared war on them and started expelling them.

Jews and Christians became dhimmi, or second-class

citizens. They were only allowed to stay alive

and not be killed only by paying the jizya or

the protection tax. So they had a choice: convert

to Islam or if you want to stay alive, you have

to pay the jizya or protection tax, living as

dhimmi in the Islamic nation. Christians and

Jews could not ring church bells. Jews could

not blow the shofar. Christians could not ring

church bells. They could not pray publicly.

Christians and Jews could not gather together

and build new churches or new temples. And the

way they paid the jizya or the protection tax

was in a monthly ceremony where they would get

together downtown and the Jew would kneel on

his knee and hand his goods to the mullah, who

would take the goods as the price for buying

the protection. And in many areas, Jews and

Christians were given necklaces to wear as a

receipt that they paid their jizya or their

protection tax. Jews considered najis under

Islam. Najis is bodily fluid. Najis is garbage.

Najis is dogs. Najis is dirty. So Christians

and Jews were treated as second-class citizens.

Islam continued to grow. As Islam grew, more

people became dhimmi or second-class citizens.

Jews and Christians were given identifiable

clothing. The yellow star, which was given to

the Jews that most people think is a German

invention, it was actually an Islamic invention

in the 9th century in Iraq by the second caliph,

Caliph al-Mutawakkil of Iraq, who invented the

yellow star for the Jews to be identified as

they walked down the street. Because Jews were

considered najis, if a Muslim man or a Jew walked

on the same side of the street, the Jew had

to cross the other side so the Muslim man can

walk so he's not dirtied by the filth of the

Jew. Christians were given the zunnar, the belt,

which most of you men are wearing right now.

That was an Islamic invention for the Christians.

Islam continued to grow. They went all the way

to Jerusalem. They conquered Jerusalem. Christians

couldn't ring their church bells in Jerusalem.

The Pope in Rome in 1090 told the Christians,

how could you sit idly by and allow your brethren

to suffer like this in the Holy Land?

You need to go liberate the Christians. You

need to go help the Christians. That's why the

Crusades were launched. The Crusades were not

launched because they just felt like waking

up in the morning and going and converting a

bunch of Muslims or beheading them. The Crusades

were launched to liberate Jerusalem. And they

were able to liberate Jerusalem for less than

100 years before Salahuddin al-Ayyubi, Saladin,

took it back and Jerusalem remained under Islamic

control until 1967, when the state of Israel

liberated Jerusalem where Christians, Jews,

and Muslims could pray under the same sky.

The Crusaders continued fighting Islam, and

for 300 years they tried and failed, and by

the 1300s the Crusaders disappeared because

they could not win against Islam. Islam continued

to expand. They went all the way to Central

Europe. They went all the way to China. They

went to India. They conquered Spain. They changed

the name of Spain from Spain to Andalusia. And

they started, as they advanced, as they conquered

more nations, more people paid the jizya or

the protection tax. And this is how the Islamic

empire grew. It went all the way until they

were stopped at the gates of Vienna on 9/11.

9/11 is not a date that Osama bin Laden just

picked out of a hat. 9/11 is a symbolic date

in the Islamic calendar. Between the 1600s...

by the 1600s, Islam had covered more of the

earth's surface than the Roman Empire did at

its peak. Between the 1600s and the 1800s, the

Europeans were experiencing the European Industrial

Revolution, where the Europeans were able to

invent products on factory lines, where they

are able to make money and sell products, which

gave them the money to build a strong army in

order to fight the Muslims. And that's how they

were able to stop them at the gates of Vienna

on 9/11. The Europeans started the pushback

against Islam. They pushed them out of Europe.

They pushed them out of... all the way to the

Middle East and North Africa. By 1924, the Islamic

empire ended. In 1924, the Islamic Caliphate

ended in Turkey by President Ataturk, who was

a secularist. He ended the Islamic empire and

he gave women rights to vote. He gave women

a right to an education, a right to work, a

right to choose a husband. He forbid women from

wearing the hijab. He forbid men from wearing

the beard. The Muslims hate him so much that

they consider him a Jewish agent because they

believe that his mother in her bloodline was

Jewish and that was the influence on Ataturk.

By the time the Islamic empire or the Islamic

Caliphate or the Islamic State ended in 1924,

the Islamic Caliphate had existed for 1400 years,

and it ended less than 100 years ago. By the

time the Islamic Caliphate ended in 1924, 270

million people around the world were killed

by Islam. 270 million. And we didn't have weapons

of mass destruction and there was no nuclear

weapons. All of these people were killed, butchered

by the sword.
