Response to Telegraph (Mohammed Hijab Bursts into Song) (2022-10-01) ​

0:00:00 Martina
0:00:13 Patrick Sawyer
0:00:15 a senior journalist at the telegraph who
0:00:18 produced a piece about me
0:00:20 some time ago
0:00:23 a completely libelous piece where he
0:00:27 misrepresents me
0:00:29 completely in fact forget about just
0:00:31 misrepresenting me he misrepresents the
0:00:34 entire situation
0:00:35 in Leicester between the hindutva and
0:00:38 the Muslim people let's take a look at
0:00:40 what he looks like
0:00:42 because it's already on the public
0:00:44 record he's got a an open Twitter
0:00:46 account there's no problems here in fact
0:00:48 he was showing pictures of me as well in
0:00:50 fact mentioning where I live
0:00:53 I think he lives in Middlesex London
0:00:55 just to return the favor to him since he
0:00:58 has tried to expose where I live no
0:01:00 problem you live in Middlesex London I
0:01:03 think it is anyway
0:01:05 no matter this individual will now have
0:01:08 to present himself
0:01:10 in a court of law
0:01:12 because he is officially being sued now
0:01:15 whether or not he wins the case
0:01:17 is aside the point the fact that you
0:01:20 decided to misrepresent me in the ways
0:01:22 that you have
0:01:24 means now that you will be
0:01:25 inconvenienced with a court case
0:01:29 but what wouldn't be known is that I
0:01:32 actually gave you an opportunity to make
0:01:34 reasonable retractions I recorded the
0:01:38 conversation that I had with you in kind
0:01:39 and in that conversation I went through
0:01:42 piece by piece
0:01:45 what exactly was misrepresentative about
0:01:49 that article
0:01:50 the first thing I said to you as you can
0:01:53 hear
0:01:54 will you be able to hear is that I have
0:01:57 never
0:01:58 and will never
0:02:00 or don't have the time or any kind of
0:02:02 inclination
0:02:04 to attend supposed
0:02:06 anti-jewish protests
0:02:09 the only ever protests I've attended
0:02:12 or spearheaded or been a party to
0:02:16 are pro-palissinian protests and unless
0:02:19 in your mind
0:02:21 the two Notions are equivalent
0:02:24 then this is nothing but pure
0:02:27 misrepresentation and in fact not just
0:02:30 that it's a clear attempt by the media
0:02:34 to employ
0:02:36 this kind of
0:02:39 censoriousness
0:02:41 or to create a culture of sensoriousness
0:02:45 for individuals who are activists for
0:02:47 the Palestinian cause by labeling them
0:02:50 with the worst kind of labels I have to
0:02:53 break it to you not only is this unfair
0:02:58 is it illegal in this country for you to
0:03:01 say something like that but also
0:03:04 it is something which now demonstrates
0:03:07 your desperation and the fact that
0:03:10 you've lost the argument
0:03:12 the fact is this
0:03:15 I have had conversations with Jewish
0:03:17 people debates with Jewish people
0:03:20 debates with Zionist people countless
0:03:22 debates
0:03:24 countless debates
0:03:26 and all of them were favorable to me as
0:03:29 you can see with the hundred actually
0:03:31 not hundreds of thousands I would say
0:03:33 tens of millions of people who have
0:03:35 viewed such debates I've even produced a
0:03:37 book on the matter of Zionist terrorism
0:03:44 and so after the public
0:03:47 have seen this and millions of people
0:03:49 have been affected
0:03:51 and that the white top the intellectual
0:03:54 white towel has been thrown in
0:03:57 this is what you have to resort to Now
0:03:59 isn't it you now have to resort instead
0:04:02 of trying to defeat me with facts
0:04:05 and scholarly references and citations
0:04:08 now it's anti-jewish okay
0:04:12 even though there are unequivocal
0:04:14 statements on this very channel of me
0:04:17 speaking against anti-Semitism but let's
0:04:19 disregard that not even mention that and
0:04:22 refer to me as answer Jewish does that
0:04:24 you do you think you have
0:04:26 proven yourself to be victorious
0:04:28 in so doing or is this a great defeat
0:04:31 for you
0:04:32 and for for all I know you're you are an
0:04:35 Italian man
0:04:37 you're an Italian man you've got you've
0:04:39 got no dog in the fight anyway but of
0:04:41 course you're working for the telegraph
0:04:44 and the telegraph has its own history
0:04:47 secondly
0:04:49 you mentioned other things in the
0:04:50 article which I explained to you I've
0:04:51 never said you say he's a
0:04:54 self-described scholar
0:04:57 or self-proclaimed scholar
0:04:59 I've never made such Proclamation
0:05:03 and I explicitly told you on the phone
0:05:05 that that was the case you lied again
0:05:07 and said yes I found it on your website
0:05:09 you will not find any such statement on
0:05:11 my website now you may see this is a
0:05:13 point of triviality
0:05:15 but it's not trivial for me because if
0:05:16 you're a journalist who's Integris the
0:05:20 point is you're meant to be able to
0:05:22 quote things properly
0:05:23 and if you're incompetent negligent
0:05:26 foolish
0:05:27 low IQ to the point where you can't even
0:05:30 copy and paste things properly something
0:05:33 at year 10 can do a competent year 10
0:05:35 can do forget about that even a year
0:05:37 eight or nine can do
0:05:38 in this country then what are you doing
0:05:41 as a senior journalist in something like
0:05:43 the telegraph
0:05:45 thirdly
0:05:46 he actually starts speaking about my
0:05:48 relationship with my father
0:05:50 I want to know why and he says I spoke
0:05:53 to a close relative
0:05:55 by the way you couldn't have spoken to a
0:05:58 close relative because I don't have many
0:06:00 close relatives in this country
0:06:03 and in fact the ones that I do have in
0:06:06 this country were broad for the most
0:06:08 part and it's impossible for you to have
0:06:11 such information in fact if you had
0:06:14 spoken to a close relative can you
0:06:16 please reveal the source because I'm
0:06:18 telling you that it is practically
0:06:21 operationally impossible but for you to
0:06:24 include a section on an article related
0:06:27 to Hindu hindutva Muslim tensions about
0:06:30 my relationship with my father not only
0:06:33 demonstrates the height the epitome of
0:06:36 desperation shows the public the extent
0:06:40 to which you
0:06:42 are trying to spin smear or you're
0:06:45 involved in the smear campaign against
0:06:47 me
0:06:49 but now you've become famous
0:06:52 yes not only inconvenienced
0:06:54 you thought you could put up this
0:06:55 article you and Catherine Lau let's take
0:06:57 a picture of C Catherine Lau for some
0:06:59 reason she is someone who's on this
0:07:01 article she hasn't contacted me at all
0:07:04 she didn't do any of her own checks
0:07:07 checks at all so she puts her name on an
0:07:10 article like this I know that she is a
0:07:13 feminist maybe she's agitated by my
0:07:15 anti-feminist views maybe she is
0:07:17 agitated by me somehow or some reason
0:07:19 maybe she wants to maybe maybe maybe
0:07:21 she's just trying to get climbed you
0:07:23 know the career ladder
0:07:25 what people will do nowadays to climb a
0:07:28 karelada what's next we're going to do
0:07:30 next for climbing career ladder transmit
0:07:31 somebody a community not mention the
0:07:34 fact that there's a hindutva problem in
0:07:36 Leicester which is a far right
0:07:39 radical
0:07:40 organization that if anybody knew
0:07:43 yes if anybody knew if its roots
0:07:47 connected to the RSS
0:07:50 the second Chief of which actually
0:07:51 praised the Holocaust and called for one
0:07:55 all of that has been is conspicuously
0:07:58 absent in your article but you want to
0:08:01 focus on Muhammad hijab and his
0:08:02 relationship with his father
0:08:07 do you think this is good reporting and
0:08:08 good journalism is this in the public
0:08:09 interest
0:08:11 I don't think this is in the public
0:08:12 interest but both of you collaborated on
0:08:14 this point so I'm wondering why
0:08:16 Catherine Lau
0:08:18 why you put your name to such a thing
0:08:22 didn't you think it would drag you down
0:08:23 as well did you think there would be no
0:08:25 consequence to such
0:08:28 a written piece did you think there'll
0:08:30 be no legal consequence no PR
0:08:33 consequence you're dealing with a public
0:08:35 figure
0:08:36 who has a viewership
0:08:39 which is comparable to the telegraph
0:08:41 itself
0:08:44 are you mad
0:08:45 did you think there was not going to be
0:08:47 a response
0:08:50 how can you throw stones when you live
0:08:52 in a glass house
0:08:54 your viewership is restricted to the
0:08:55 United Kingdom
0:08:57 our viewership is not restricted to the
0:08:59 United Kingdom now you've become famous
0:09:01 in all kinds of countries
0:09:04 you go to Malaysia somehow isn't that
0:09:06 Patrick Sauer isn't that the liar
0:09:09 you go to uh any Arab country oh it's
0:09:12 not the liar
0:09:13 that tried to defame
0:09:15 one of our guys
0:09:17 well
0:09:19 even if you go to Italy you're ashamed
0:09:22 to journalism you are a disgrace the
0:09:25 journalism you're a disgrace to the
0:09:27 Italian people the Italian people the
0:09:29 good Italian people in fact you've put
0:09:32 us in a position
0:09:33 where you have made the people see the
0:09:36 extent to which the new Mavericks
0:09:39 the new outcasts are in fact this Muslim
0:09:42 population in Britain
0:09:44 why are you so desperate to paint them
0:09:46 out in a bad way
0:09:48 because you know
0:09:50 you know that Islam and Islamic
0:09:53 civilization
0:09:55 is something which you're trying to put
0:09:57 your foot on it's the sleeping giant
0:09:59 which if it wakes up
0:10:02 all kinds of things will take place
0:10:03 you're trying your best
0:10:06 but we are now the resistance the legal
0:10:09 resistance
0:10:10 and I say this from a
0:10:12 movement perspective
0:10:14 we are now
0:10:16 like the farmers in Italy so now we you
0:10:20 put us on a bad mood Patrick's hour
0:10:23 and now I'm sorry to say I'm worried for
0:10:26 Italy maybe it's going in a fascistic
0:10:28 direction hopefully it's not
0:10:30 but uh
0:10:32 we have become the Mavericks now the
0:10:34 anti-established Mavericks the Muslim
0:10:36 people and you're helping us
0:10:39 create this image
0:10:41 so what I have to say to put us in a
0:10:43 good mood
0:10:44 is
0:11:13 foreign
0:11:20 [Applause]
0:11:21 [Laughter]
0:11:25 [Applause]
