Andrew Tate on Why He Became a Muslim (2022-10-29) #

0:00:00 your brothers and sisters in the slum
0:00:02 net from Norway are establishing a
0:00:04 Masjid a dawah center this Center this
0:00:08 Masjid this educational institution will
0:00:10 act like a beacon of light calling the
0:00:14 Muslims in Norway back to the essence of
0:00:16 Islam so give generously and Allah
0:00:18 azzawajal will give you even I wanted to
0:00:21 ask you now because this is the Hot
0:00:22 Topic especially in the Muslim Community
0:00:23 about your conversion yeah so tell us
0:00:27 the story like what happened exactly
0:00:28 well I think a lot of people have been
0:00:30 following me for a while understand that
0:00:31 I've been very respectful of Islam for a
0:00:33 long time I was born in a Christian
0:00:35 country I was raised as a Christian and
0:00:37 I've always been very respectful of
0:00:39 Islam and it's become more and more
0:00:41 obvious to me and and more and more
0:00:43 pertinent that Islam is the last
0:00:45 religion on the planet when I talk about
0:00:48 Islam because I'm new to it yeah I I'm a
0:00:52 little bit careful right because I'm new
0:00:53 to it I'm certainly not a scholar
0:00:55 there's so much I need to learn I know
0:00:56 I'm on a Learning Journey I'm not here
0:00:58 to sit here and talk scripture I don't
0:01:00 know those things yet I'm here to learn
0:01:01 but we're here at your assistance thank
0:01:04 you brother thank you thank you but um
0:01:06 it's just for me it feels like the last
0:01:08 religion on Earth I feel like there's no
0:01:10 other religion people say to me why did
0:01:12 you convert and I said I don't really
0:01:13 feel it as a conversion I it's almost
0:01:15 like I knew Gog was real and now I've
0:01:16 become religious and they say oh you're
0:01:18 religious before I was like religious
0:01:19 before how Christian what does Christian
0:01:21 mean like who's not a Christian you go
0:01:24 to Christian nations and everyone says
0:01:25 they're a Christian look how they live
0:01:26 their lives go into the average church
0:01:28 is anyone actually fearful of God
0:01:29 anybody no the girls are out on Saturday
0:01:32 night drinking and they turn up to
0:01:33 church because their parents made them
0:01:34 but there's there's no substance to the
0:01:36 religion and also
0:01:38 Islam very closely reflects my personal
0:01:41 beliefs I through my personal life I've
0:01:43 learned that if you don't have standards
0:01:45 and you're not a strong person who's
0:01:46 prepared to defend his ideas you will be
0:01:48 crushed yes and we look at most
0:01:50 religions in the world today which are
0:01:52 not prepared to defend their ideas
0:01:53 what's happened to them they're just
0:01:54 getting crushed and now we have
0:01:55 Christianity as an idea which is
0:01:58 basically said well we can't set any
0:02:00 firm rules because everyone will just
0:02:01 quit so instead let's make it so easy to
0:02:04 be a Christian that nobody has to put
0:02:05 any effort in and then accept everybody
0:02:07 no matter what and hopefully we can keep
0:02:09 the church doors open that's not that's
0:02:12 not God to me you know God to me is is
0:02:14 strong God to me is something to be
0:02:16 feared God to me something someone that
0:02:18 people are afraid to mock yeah God to me
0:02:20 is someone that you have to go out of
0:02:22 your way to prove something to God to me
0:02:25 has red lines like God to me represents
0:02:28 the Islamic faith the Christian God to
0:02:29 me I don't see God I can't explain I
0:02:31 don't see anything there so to me it was
0:02:34 it was the only logical choice in the
0:02:36 end I mean many as you're saying this
0:02:38 I'm sure many people are like ecstatic
0:02:40 and extremely happy it's a great it's a
0:02:43 great thing for everyone honestly
0:02:43 because you know just anyone coming into
0:02:47 Islam is is you know the prophet is
0:02:49 better than the world and everything in
0:02:50 it yeah but imagine now somebody of
0:02:53 major influence I mean you're the most
0:02:55 Googled person on the planet I'm not
0:02:56 sure if you're still yeah I think Putin
0:02:59 might have beat me as of last week but I
0:03:01 think it's between me and Putin at the
0:03:02 moment but I don't want to lose to Putin
0:03:04 look Putin's the Big G I don't want more
0:03:05 enemies like it's fine Vladimir you can
0:03:07 have it I never thought I'd hear you
0:03:09 saying that statement yeah put wouldn't
0:03:11 beat me last year right yeah I think
0:03:13 we're just something the most Google but
0:03:15 no no it's definitely something
0:03:16 beautiful and a lot of people have you
0:03:19 know you'll be surprised at how many
0:03:20 women as well like because obviously the
0:03:21 the accusations of misogynist you know
0:03:24 but but a lot of women handle Allah
0:03:26 especially in the Muslim World they
0:03:27 absolutely happy in fact let me tell you
0:03:28 a story just before I came here today
0:03:30 one um one particular woman I can't
0:03:33 remember her identity but she's working
0:03:34 as a school teacher yep in London and
0:03:37 actually my friend told me that she was
0:03:40 kicked out of school because they had
0:03:42 this campaign against you in the schools
0:03:44 I'm not sure if you're aware of it yeah
0:03:45 this was part of the cancellation I
0:03:47 didn't know about this yeah so in in
0:03:48 British schools they said you know if
0:03:50 you say anything good about if you if
0:03:51 you say anything good about this person
0:03:53 or you have to be reported or prevented
0:03:55 and if you say anything you know you
0:03:57 have to kind of combat his extremism or
0:04:00 whatever it may be right so she because
0:04:02 when you became Muslim she abstained
0:04:04 from doing that she said I can't really
0:04:05 do that because you know Islamic clause
0:04:07 and it's it's backbiting and he's got
0:04:09 honor and Islam and so on and
0:04:11 unfortunately they fired her from that
0:04:12 from the position wow so you can see
0:04:14 that this is the level of encroachment
0:04:16 we're talking about here so and this
0:04:18 shows you that the level of fraternity
0:04:20 that exists and not only the fact that
0:04:22 you know when you're looking at Old
0:04:23 Twitter or whatever Twitter or whatever
0:04:25 social media it's not a representation
0:04:27 of what's really happening of course of
0:04:28 course and I I mean that's that's crazy
0:04:30 to hear and what's most crazy is
0:04:33 yeah the the fervor behind this idea
0:04:36 that I'm somehow extremist is truly it's
0:04:39 truly clown world like I've sat as a
0:04:41 professional and and analyzed my content
0:04:43 and understood which things can be taken
0:04:45 out of context and which things were
0:04:46 said in a way perhaps they wouldn't
0:04:47 shouldn't have been said before I was
0:04:49 massively famous but we have to sit here
0:04:51 and understand that if you take anybody
0:04:53 on the planet and give them seven years
0:04:54 of YouTube and then they decide and they
0:04:56 blow up big you're gonna be able to find
0:04:58 30 to 45 seconds of clip across all
0:05:00 those years that could be taken out of
0:05:01 context right yeah and and and and it's
0:05:04 truly crazy because they sit and say oh
0:05:06 yeah but you know the young boys are
0:05:07 watching your stuff and they don't truly
0:05:09 understand all of it and it there's
0:05:11 Nuance that's missing and my argument is
0:05:13 very simple my argument is well one
0:05:15 you're taking small Clips out of context
0:05:16 and two there's not a single piece of
0:05:18 content on the internet that 14 year old
0:05:20 boy can't misunderstand name somebody
0:05:22 name someone who's producing content on
0:05:24 the internet that you would be 100 happy
0:05:25 for a 14 year old drill artists and so
0:05:28 they say that I mean I live in an area
0:05:29 this I'm not going to mention the names
0:05:30 of the artist but they're talking about
0:05:32 going to this person's house and killing
0:05:33 it and killing him in the middle of a
0:05:34 life crime epidemic yeah we have little
0:05:36 Nas twerking on having sex with level in
0:05:39 his music videos like we're gonna sit
0:05:40 here and talk about how children can be
0:05:43 impressionable young children and I'm
0:05:45 sitting there saying there's no way I'm
0:05:46 the worst person that's not why they're
0:05:48 deleting me the difference for them is
0:05:49 as you've mentioned on those on those
0:05:51 fronts it doesn't matter to them because
0:05:53 it's like okay they're consuming our
0:05:55 hedonistic products or whatever it is
0:05:56 that doesn't change their world view
0:05:58 whereas what you're saying is
0:06:00 ideological now you're you're
0:06:02 challenging the status quo of the LW of
0:06:05 the liberal world order your challenging
0:06:07 second wave feministic Notions you are
0:06:08 challenging some liberal Notions you're
0:06:10 challenging ideas commonplace ideas of
0:06:13 of Tolerance and George Orwell said it
0:06:15 very well he said that the more a
0:06:18 society moves away from the truth the
0:06:20 more it hates people who speak it
0:06:21 absolutely and and you're and you're
0:06:23 right and I think even the basic things
0:06:25 I teach because some people have said to
0:06:26 me Andrew all you teach about is
0:06:27 personal responsibility motivation
0:06:29 working hard getting up and doing the
0:06:31 right thing I said that's the absolute
0:06:33 those are the things they're most afraid
0:06:34 of if you teach people to have standards
0:06:37 for themselves and to be morally really
0:06:39 strong people and to know right from
0:06:40 wrong then they can't brainwash you so
0:06:42 that's what they're most afraid of
0:06:43 they're most afraid of young men who men
0:06:45 looking up and going no no I don't
0:06:46 believe that
0:06:48 no I don't believe it I don't want to
0:06:49 and I want to go do this I want to go to
0:06:51 the gym and be strong or I want to
0:06:52 believe X or I want to be a moral person
0:06:54 they genuinely have a problem with
0:06:57 Baseline morality yes you understand
0:06:59 when some people recognize when I
0:07:02 convert to Islam that there was a time I
0:07:03 was an atheist there was a time when I
0:07:05 was atheistic and the reason I am now so
0:07:07 absolutely certain that God is real is
0:07:09 because I've seen evil I've seen shaytan
0:07:12 I've seen it when you see enough evil
0:07:14 you realize that there must be an equal
0:07:15 and opposite force and there are people
0:07:17 out there in the world today doing the
0:07:18 work of the devil genuine demons who are
0:07:20 trying to destroy the Baseline morality
0:07:22 that's inside of all of us we're all
0:07:24 born with some kind of morality and
0:07:25 they're trying to destroy it and that's
0:07:27 exactly the Islamic understanding that
0:07:28 we believe that you're born with
0:07:30 something called fitra which is the
0:07:31 initial goodness you're born with an
0:07:34 innate belief receptivity to believe in
0:07:37 one God and then that is corrupted in
0:07:40 fact there's a prophet Hadith of the
0:07:42 Prophet where he says
0:07:45 every born child is born upon this
0:07:47 initial goodness
0:07:52 and then his father and mother or his
0:07:55 parents they socialize him into you know
0:07:58 Christianity Judas and magism so the
0:08:01 idea is that everyone is born with this
0:08:02 initial uh goodness and this initial uh
0:08:06 will or want to believe in God one God
0:08:08 and then as you mentioned I mean it's
0:08:10 what you're mentioning here is really is
0:08:12 profound because you're you're
0:08:13 mentioning a central Doctrine in Islam
0:08:15 but but it's and and this is why perhaps
0:08:18 I found God the way I did because I
0:08:19 understood all these things first and
0:08:21 then I saw the Quran and confirmed so
0:08:23 many things for me you know like even
0:08:25 the conversations I've been having so
0:08:26 far so many things have been confirmed
0:08:28 and it's amazing the knowledge that's
0:08:29 inside of it which is so applicable
0:08:30 today yeah for for a old book right you
0:08:33 know it's supposed to be old but it
0:08:35 seems so so Timeless but it's truly
0:08:37 amazing but you're you're totally right
0:08:39 and and the Baseline morality I don't
0:08:41 think most people understand that when
0:08:43 they're doing this under the guise of
0:08:44 Tolerance when they're saying be so
0:08:45 tolerant that you no longer believe in
0:08:47 right from wrong they're not doing doing
0:08:48 that to make Society a better place
0:08:50 they're doing that to empty your brain
0:08:51 so that you have no resistance to the
0:08:53 slave mind programming they want to get
0:08:55 you to a point where if they tell you
0:08:57 the sky is green yeah you look at with
0:08:59 your own eyes yeah and you see blue but
0:09:01 no the sky is green that's what they
0:09:03 want so that you have to have nothing in
0:09:05 your brain that can prevent that if you
0:09:07 have God if you have no I believe this
0:09:09 is right and wrong if you have personal
0:09:11 responsibility if you have
0:09:12 self-accountability if you're a person
0:09:14 who sticks up for what he believes all
0:09:16 that's bad to them they want all of that
0:09:17 gone so they could tell you the sky is
0:09:19 green and and I don't want to say too
0:09:22 much because I don't want the stream to
0:09:23 end but they're going to tell you
0:09:24 something much worse than the sky is
0:09:25 green they're going to tell you
0:09:26 something else and and if they're trying
0:09:28 to program us all into slaves I remember
0:09:30 when I was in my undergraduate days and
0:09:33 I was reading a particular book by this
0:09:35 guy called Jeremy Bentham who became
0:09:37 like you know the spiritual forefather
0:09:39 of Jose Mill who is the father of like
0:09:41 social liberalism of today and I
0:09:44 remember reading this because it was so
0:09:45 powerful because it linked to something
0:09:46 I read in the Quran he said that you
0:09:48 know you have two gods he said you have
0:09:51 the god of pain and you have the God of
0:09:52 Pleasure and I thought this is so
0:09:55 interesting the Quran States you know
0:09:57 have you seen the one who takes his own
0:10:00 desires as a God and because now there
0:10:03 is no transcendental force that we can
0:10:06 look up and as you say venerate now
0:10:09 we're forced to be slaves to the system
0:10:11 yeah we're to our own desires or I mean
0:10:14 the Quran has another verse which I
0:10:16 think is so powerful and it connects
0:10:17 very well with what you're saying
0:10:21 that God has struck a parable of a man
0:10:26 that he's got many different slave
0:10:28 owners
0:10:31 and another kind of man who's only got
0:10:33 one slave owner he's God is basically
0:10:36 telling us in the Quran that you've got
0:10:38 one example of one individual who's got
0:10:40 multiple slave owners and another one
0:10:43 with just one he says
0:10:44 are they the same
0:10:46 so here the idea is
0:10:48 as Rousseau said that his liberal
0:10:50 philosophy said that man is Born Free
0:10:52 but everywhere in Chains
0:10:54 this is the order because if you don't
0:10:56 have that God to to worship then you're
0:10:58 going to end up having to worship to
0:11:00 everything else and the whole part of
0:11:01 the shahada which you took which is
0:11:05 the the true meaning of that is that
0:11:09 there is no God worthy of worship except
0:11:11 for one God which means that your your
0:11:14 desires or the system or these people
0:11:17 that want to control us they are the
0:11:19 problem is they're not worthy of worship
0:11:21 the only one worthy of our subordination
0:11:24 and submission is the creator of the
0:11:26 heavens and the Earth there's no one
0:11:27 else I agree and it's it's it's I
0:11:30 completely agree and I've agreed with
0:11:31 this for the longest time you know I've
0:11:33 never been to like a music concert and
0:11:35 people ask me why and I said I just look
0:11:38 at it and I feel embarrassed I look at
0:11:40 someone up on a stage dancing around and
0:11:43 I look at hundreds of thousands of
0:11:44 peasants in the crowd just yeah yeah
0:11:47 yeah I'm like it's embarrass I feel
0:11:50 cringe it's like secondhand
0:11:52 embarrassment when I see these festivals
0:11:53 and everyone's losing their our mind or
0:11:55 these music concerts I genuinely feel
0:11:57 embarrassed for the people who go
0:11:58 because to me that is a form of worship
0:12:00 like yeah you can listen to the music at
0:12:01 home for free you're like you don't have
0:12:03 to wait in that line and stand out in
0:12:04 the cold like I don't know perhaps it
0:12:06 was a bit extreme but I've always known
0:12:08 that they're trying to give us false
0:12:10 Idols to some degree and when I speak to
0:12:12 atheists atheists say oh I don't believe
0:12:14 in God but they they've signed up so
0:12:16 hard to the liberal woke agenda they're
0:12:18 as religious as anybody but they're just
0:12:20 believing in the wrong things they're
0:12:21 believing in degeneracy and they're
0:12:22 believing in the work of the devil so
0:12:24 humans always need something to believe
0:12:26 in and it's a great thing you said about
0:12:27 your own desires it's like
0:12:29 one one guy I was talking to since my
0:12:31 conversion says it's interesting that
0:12:33 somebody with everything all the Western
0:12:35 World yeah I think everything somebody
0:12:36 could want exactly has now converted and
0:12:38 I said yeah because even before my
0:12:40 conversion I understood that Hedonism is
0:12:42 a black hole and you can never fill it
0:12:44 you're never going to be able to have
0:12:46 enough girls to be happy with girls
0:12:47 you're never gonna be able to have
0:12:48 enough money to be happy with money you
0:12:49 know be able to you know drink enough to
0:12:51 be happy with drinking like it's a black
0:12:53 hole and you can pour endless things
0:12:55 down it but you'll never fill it up and
0:12:56 you need to have some degree of
0:12:58 self-restraint and I've always been a
0:12:59 very disciplined person I've never made
0:13:01 mistakes but certainly yeah the higher
0:13:03 power is is going to give you more
0:13:05 satisfaction in your heart than endless
0:13:07 endless insanity
