like
like this. He said, "I did not accept
Islam because of Tate."
Everybody else was essentially saying,
"Ah, I've been to Israel more than
you've been to Israel."
No election because you do not
you've been to Israel." No election because you do not support
Israel. Um, enough.
Did Jesus go like this when he walked
into a building?
No. Did Jesus pray to Mother Mary? You
go in with a sword and you start
chopping
go in with a sword and you start chopping people's heads off. You go in
and you give da. So, Christians like
just massacred
and you give da. So, Christians like just massacred them. Like, who did Jesus
pray to on the cross? If he's all
knowing, God's
pray to on the cross? If he's all knowing, God's all knowing, how did he
not know the hour?
The planes hit the buildings and the

We was just in Bosnia. That's your home your home
country, right?
Yes. Yes.
So beautiful. I loved it. It's a goal of
mine
So beautiful. I loved it. It's a goal of mine to get property in Bosnia now.
Uh-huh.
Really beautiful spot. Crazy what
happened with with
Really beautiful spot. Crazy what happened with with um the war, too. We
went to the different museums.
You learned about all of that, huh?
It's crazy.
Yeah. People sniping
It's crazy. Yeah. People sniping down from the
mountains at civilians.
Madness.
Huge history. A lot
Madness. Huge history. A lot of history there.
Yeah.
Yeah. So, you got I'm I'm really
impressed. You got You actually came
from Medina.
impressed. You got You actually came from Medina. You went to Medina. Mecca
and then the Jerusalem of Europe,
Bosnia.
Yeah.
Life truly a life uh changing
experience.
Yeah, it it really was because we saw so
many different cultures
Yeah, it it really was because we saw so many different cultures of Islam. So
with Mecca and Medina, it's like
everyone's completely covered up. I
think that's like peak Islam over there,
like the most religious it gets. And
then we went to
like the most religious it gets. And then we went to Turkey where it's kind
of a mix of everything. women wearing
hijab, women wearing nikab, fully
covered,
hijab, women wearing nikab, fully covered, and some women not wearing
anything at all. And then we went to
Bosnia, which is main
anything at all. And then we went to Bosnia, which is main I like to compare
it to like 60s America. That's how I
would
it to like 60s America. That's how I would envision it, where women are like
dressed modestly, but they don't they
don't look like what you would imagine
Muslim women to dress like. They're not
like fully covered up head to
Muslim women to dress like. They're not like fully covered up head to toe, but
they're dressed nicely like in jeans and
where you can't really see their curves.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Like when I look
at old videos of America, like back when
people were listening to the Beatles and
stuff
people were listening to the Beatles and stuff and going to high school,
that has me reflecting and thinking when
people are like, "Okay, um,
that has me reflecting and thinking when people are like, "Okay, um, Islam is not
compatible with Western civilization,
you know, take us back to,
compatible with Western civilization, you know, take us back to, you know, the
good old days, you know, some of these
people out there." And I start to think
back and I
people out there." And I start to think back and I was just talking to a friend
of mine, uh, Imam Sammy Leica grew up in
New York where where you're residing
now,
New York where where you're residing now, right?
Yeah. He said back in the 60s New York
you totally different
Yeah. He said back in the 60s New York you totally different than it was today.
You had to actually go approach you. It
was normal to this whole
You had to actually go approach you. It was normal to this whole phenomenon now
where you know girls are just dressing
how they want. You know it was more
conservative
how they want. You know it was more conservative dress. The respect of the
father was really there that you'd go
talk to the father before you take the
girl. Little things like that. And I
watching some um now some seeing
girl. Little things like that. And I watching some um now some seeing some
pictures here even here in Chicago the
beach you see you see the the the guys
in the tank
beach you see you see the the the guys in the tank top you know like Dalianos
have the tank top.
Yeah. Yeah.
And pants and they'd
Yeah. Yeah. And pants and they'd have like you say
like what is it the morality police what
would you call them? They would you get
a ticket
would you call them? They would you get a ticket if the woman if she was if she
had like probably a bikini on. I don't
think it was even allowed.
Yeah. It's crazy. Even my uncle like or
my uncles back in the day like the
furthest they could
my uncles back in the day like the furthest they could suffer love. Like if
the furthest they could go with a girl
in the neighborhood is like kiss them.
Yeah.
If you go past that, the dad's
Yeah. If you go past that, the dad's going to
kill you.
And I know I know that's not ideal
still, but like that's a whole different
world from where we're at today
where now dads in America, they have
they're not protective at all over their
families or their daughters. Like you
have kids in middle
families or their daughters. Like you have kids in middle school that are
dating. Your daughter dating and they're
doing like sexual stuff and you're not
allowed to say
doing like sexual stuff and you're not allowed to say anything about
in middle school, elementary school.
Well, I mean, when I was in middle
school, kids were doing stuff.
Well, I mean, when I was in middle school, kids were doing stuff. I'm sure
it's even worse now.
Uh-huh.
Yeah. It's crazy. I often think like
what what you're talking
Yeah. It's crazy. I often think like what what you're talking about this
whole um you know when you see many
Christians when they talk about this
these
Christians when they talk about this these um these values that they're
looking for this they they try to um
espouse it's
looking for this they they try to um espouse it's like if they would just
give us Islam a shot like you did this
is what they actually this is what
give us Islam a shot like you did this is what they actually this is what they
actually want but it's not in the
packaging they want
yeah they because when they
packaging they want yeah they because when they picture
Islam they think of women wearing nikabs
and getting stoned to death and just the
basic
and getting stoned to death and just the basic propaganda when I look I made a
video called free America you would
really like it. And
it's called Free America.
Free America. Yeah. It's really about
like, you know, a group of people that
control America, how it got to this way,
and how we can fix it going forward.
See this?
It's on YouTube.
See this? It's on YouTube. It's It's a 4-minute
short film. It's It's really good. You
like it?
And the kind of vibe of
like it? And the kind of vibe of it is like I was
saying, like that 60s America. I went up
to Lake George, New York. Have you been
there?
No. Um, it's just like a old more retro
kind of American vibe with like the
steamboats and old arcades. Um, and that
kind of stuff. And
my whole vision with this video, uh,
it's kind of like the old JFK
my whole vision with this video, uh, it's kind of like the old JFK vibe, too.
Have you ever seen the the videos of JFK
where, you know, him and his family are
all on the little car together
where, you know, him and his family are all on the little car together going to
the beach? Like, that's how I would
picture American Islam perfectly. Like,
it doesn't even have to be women fully
covered. It's just people being more
modest, having respect for
covered. It's just people being more modest, having respect for themselves,
loving God, going to pray every week
together. It's
loving God, going to pray every week together. It's the basics. It's not all
the extreme stuff.
Bosnia by itself, if you were to take
some of these um people who just like to
expose this hate, you know, you push it
blindly.
expose this hate, you know, you push it blindly. I mean, it's it's it's very
sad. If you were to take them, put them
in Bosnia, like
sad. If you were to take them, put them in Bosnia, like you are now in Bosnia,
it dispels many of these myths because
you think, okay, a Muslim Arab
it dispels many of these myths because you think, okay, a Muslim Arab right in
the desert, right? Um, he's got to be an
Arab, but you go to Bosnia.
I would love to take my family to
Bosnia.
That a great idea
for their first Muslim country to see
that.
for their first Muslim country to see that. They be like, "What? This is
Muslim?" Yeah.
It's a major
Muslim?" Yeah. It's a major It's uh because Bosnians
are Europeans.
Yeah.
Yeah. So, it's You have European Muslims
there.
It's just everyone still has this
connotation that being Muslim means
being brown.
connotation that being Muslim means being brown. Yeah.
And it's not that. I mean, what is it?
Less than 20% of Muslims are
And it's not that. I mean, what is it? Less than 20% of Muslims are Arabs.
That's crazy. And
we're
That's crazy. And we're dispelling the myth right here.
Look, you're Italian. I'm Bas European
and we're Muslim.
Yeah.
We're ones
Yeah. We're ones we have chosen to not to
submit to creation or to a
We're ones we have chosen to not to submit to creation or to a prophet or an
angel or a saint, but to submit to the
one who created Jesus, the
angel or a saint, but to submit to the one who created Jesus, the one who Jesus
submitted to, the creator of the heavens
and the earth. That's a Muslim, a
submitter to God.
It's
submitter to God. It's that simple.
That simple.
People don't even know the the meaning
of the word. But I see I
People don't even know the the meaning of the word. But I see I feel like a big
problem online right now is because a
lot of people their countries
problem online right now is because a lot of people their countries are
getting infiltrated by people of third
worlds. Like I I I actually don't really
believe in race mixing to be quite fully
honest. Like I think Italy
believe in race mixing to be quite fully honest. Like I think Italy should stay
Italian and Switzerland should stay
Swiss. But the problem is,
Italian and Switzerland should stay Swiss. But the problem is, you know, you
have a group of people that, you know,
have a lot of influence in these
governments that move people from third
world countries
governments that move people from third world countries into these places and
then Muslims get the blame when it's
like it's to
then Muslims get the blame when it's like it's to me it's not a Muslim
problem where you know people from, you
know, a country that is war
problem where you know people from, you know, a country that is war torn are
moving to Italy. That's not a Muslim
problem. That's an immigrant problem. I
don't know how you feel about this, but
that's one of the biggest reasons I've
seen lately
that's one of the biggest reasons I've seen lately for people hating Islam is
just because they see brown people that
are from war torn countries
just because they see brown people that are from war torn countries coming into
theirs and they just say that's Muslims
when that doesn't logically make any
sense. It's it's funny. It always comes
back to the framing of the way
sense. It's it's funny. It always comes back to the framing of the way they
target Islam. And if you ever compare it
to anything else that they hate, it's
completely
to anything else that they hate, it's completely different. So, you know, a
lot of like the Fox News boomers, that's
what I like to call like the older
generation
what I like to call like the older generation that hates Islam,
when they look at Mexican immigrants
coming into the
when they look at Mexican immigrants coming into the country illegally, they
don't call them Christian immigrants.
They call them Mexican immigrants. But
when people from a third world Muslim
country come in here, they're called
Muslim immigrants,
country come in here, they're called Muslim immigrants, not Pakistani or
whatever the country is.
So, the framing is always very unique
with how they target us.
Yeah, it is. Um, and people don't when
you ask me what I think. I
Yeah, it is. Um, and people don't when you ask me what I think. I mean, you
have many of these uh illegal wars that
happen and you got people who are
living. There's a really great
documentary. It's called Dirty Wars.
Have you heard of this documentary? No.
It shows like people in Afghanistan, you
know, they're chilling, having their
weddings, drones from
know, they're chilling, having their weddings, drones from 10,000
feet up, bombs the wedding, and you
know, people are displaced,
feet up, bombs the wedding, and you know, people are displaced, illegal war
um that happened, a million people in in
um in
um that happened, a million people in in um in Iraq, for example. And so people
are displaced now. Look what they're
trying to do to to the
are displaced now. Look what they're trying to do to to the to the people in
the Muslims, even Christians. They're
trying to force them out. Where are they
going to
trying to force them out. Where are they going to go? Right.
Yeah. And then they're like, why why
don't you guys take them in? And it's
like, if something happened
don't you guys take them in? And it's like, if something happened with Canada,
are we supposed to just open our
borders?
Creating
borders? Creating these problems. And um so it's
deeper than it is. But I I just think
that many masks come
deeper than it is. But I I just think that many masks come off and I and
people's racism starts to show, right?
Um, and
people's racism starts to show, right? Um, and I I just love I love Malcolm X's
statement when he went and first he was
with
statement when he went and first he was with the um nation had nothing to do
with Islam, real Islam. And then he went
to
with Islam, real Islam. And then he went to HUD. You probably know this um you
heard the story where he was praying
with whites,
heard the story where he was praying with whites, Chinese, yellow people,
pink people, all sorts of people. And
then he sends a letter back and he said
he said that um Islam is the only
solution to the to the race uh problem,
racism that's out there that's
prevalent. No, it 100% is and that's
racism that's out there that's prevalent. No, it 100% is and that's the
the irony of the whole situation.
It really is like um
the irony of the whole situation. It really is like um it's just
fascinating like we both know like Islam
could fix all these problems but
fascinating like we both know like Islam could fix all these problems but just
trying to get that through to people
it's really it's really surreal. It's
that's
it's really it's really surreal. It's that's why your story is so you've told
it but I think stories like yours and I
I've been doing this for alhamdulillah
it but I think stories like yours and I I've been doing this for alhamdulillah a
long time and showcasing people from all
different walks of life can be Polish
could be German could be African um
wherever you know Bosnian
could be German could be African um wherever you know Bosnian and Croatian
Serbian and people are coming to Islam
because
Serbian and people are coming to Islam because when people look at it
objectively sincerely and they're asking
God alone for guidance they'll
objectively sincerely and they're asking God alone for guidance they'll be guided
to where you were guided to. No, of
course. Of course. I I had the same
realization once I
course. Of course. I I had the same realization once I went to Mecca. I
mean, just the fact that millions of
people could get together
mean, just the fact that millions of people could get together in a one
square mile radius and there's no
fights. There's no I I saw like a few
barely bickerings. That's it. No fights
at all. And you have
barely bickerings. That's it. No fights at all. And you have it's more packed
than anything you could ever imagine.
Like if you're not Muslim, imagine
than anything you could ever imagine. Like if you're not Muslim, imagine the
most packed environment you've ever been
in. Like a concert where it's everyone's
leaving at the same
in. Like a concert where it's everyone's leaving at the same exact time. It's
super hectic, but that time's like a
hundred because it's for miles and
super hectic, but that time's like a hundred because it's for miles and miles
and you have people stepping on each
other's shoes and bumping into each
other and people that are, you know,
sweaty and have been out all day and
there's no fights.
sweaty and have been out all day and there's no fights. What What else could
you have people What else could you get
in common with a group of people where
they wouldn't fight like that?
Your skin color isn't going to bring
people together like that. Your
nationality isn't going to bring people
together like that. sports teams,
concerts, it doesn't matter what it is.
The only thing that will get people that
connected is loving and worshiping the
one God. That's it. Even when
connected is loving and worshiping the one God. That's it. Even when people all
like when the adon goes off and people
start to pray and
like when the adon goes off and people start to pray and everyone drops to
their knees and then goes and puts their
head on the floor at the same exact
time,
head on the floor at the same exact time, have you ever even been in a room
with like 10 people trying to order Uber
Eats and it's like, "What
with like 10 people trying to order Uber Eats and it's like, "What do you want?
These people are in a having a
conversation in the back. Yo guys, be
quiet for a second.
conversation in the back. Yo guys, be quiet for a second. And you can have
millions of people all doing the same
exact thing at once. Like
millions of people all doing the same exact thing at once. Like it's it's
surreal. It really is surreal to see.
How did you feel? How did you feel um
surreal. It really is surreal to see. How did you feel? How did you feel um in
Mecca Medina? How did you feel?
I felt definitely the best when I would
leave my phone in
I felt definitely the best when I would leave my phone in my room and just get
lost.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was the best. Just finding
some random
Yeah, that was the best. Just finding some random spot to plop down and pray
next to some people from countries god
knows where.
Who you pray
that I don't even speak the same
language as.
I don't even speak the same language as
these
I don't even speak the same language as these guys next to me. But we can pray
the same words.
That's the coolest part in my opinion.
Who you praying to?
The one God, the one that created all of
us. One that created all of us.
So beautiful.
I want to go through some of your tweets
here. I think they're um real deep
I want to go through some of your tweets here. I think they're um real deep some
of them. And uh you know there was um
big uh excitement
of them. And uh you know there was um big uh excitement when Andrew Tate
accepted Islam and he thought okay
there's a lot of these guys they just
you know
there's a lot of these guys they just you know kind of blind followers of
Andrew Tate he accepts Islam they jumped
on the bandwagon.
Uh so I don't know what motivated you to
um maybe you can tell us a little bit
why you posted something like this. You
said I did not accept Islam because of
Tate.
Yeah. So, I told you a little bit about
this yesterday, but
Yeah. So, I told you a little bit about this yesterday, but Tate converting to
Islam, well, reverting to Islam was the
first thing that
Islam, well, reverting to Islam was the first thing that got me to look into
Islam.
So, that did get you to look into it.
It got me Yes, of course. It got me to
look into it.
It got me Yes, of course. It got me to look into it. I didn't know what the
Quran was or anything before Tate. I I
first heard a mention of the Quran
Quran was or anything before Tate. I I first heard a mention of the Quran on
like a Fresh and Fit podcast, I think he
was on.
And Tate's
was on. And Tate's biggest talking points were
just how Muslims stand on business. They
don't take
just how Muslims stand on business. They don't take crap from people and they
actually stick to their beliefs. There's
a red line and yeah, that's appealing,
but that's not enough to make me to
accept anything. Just because people are
strict with
accept anything. Just because people are strict with something.
Um, you know, Jehovah's Witnesses,
Mormons, they're strict with their
faith, that
Mormons, they're strict with their faith, that doesn't mean that their
stuff is the truth. But yeah, once I
made that video, you know,
stuff is the truth. But yeah, once I made that video, you know, reacting to
entertain accepting Islam, a bunch of
people in the comments were saying
entertain accepting Islam, a bunch of people in the comments were saying react
to this, react to this, react to this,
you know, react to Jesus in the Quran,
miracles of the Quran.
you know, react to Jesus in the Quran, miracles of the Quran. And that's where
I would learn, you know, all the stuff
about how the Quran is perfectly
preserved, how
about how the Quran is perfectly preserved, how it's a monotheistic
religion, it's an Abrahamic faith, all
these things. But when I
religion, it's an Abrahamic faith, all these things. But when I was watching
those videos, I I didn't really know
anything about religion. Like
those videos, I I didn't really know anything about religion. Like I didn't
know what apostles and prophets and this
and that meant. So
know what apostles and prophets and this and that meant. So I don't I'm assuming
you didn't watch any of those videos,
but it was me and my mom reacting to a
lot of this stuff.
but it was me and my mom reacting to a lot of this stuff. And it would mainly
be her like whenever we'd have
conversations talking about this stuff
because
you you and your mother watching Islamic
videos.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what it was. That's why it went
so viral. It's like a white boy and his
mom
learning about Islam together.
How does your mom
learning about Islam together. How does your mom feel now that you
accepted Islam? I mean, she's still
Christian, you know, so she still thinks
Jesus
Christian, you know, so she still thinks Jesus is God and and stuff, but you
know, may Allah soften her heart and
allow her to see it.
Uh,
allow her to see it. Uh, this one, I don't think we covered
this one. You said, "I'm supposedly a
deviant, sexual deviant for being a
Muslim,
deviant, sexual deviant for being a Muslim, but I don't watch porn. I don't
have casual sex. I don't gawk at women
walking
have casual sex. I don't gawk at women walking by. I don't even have follow
women on IG, Instagram. Get off my It's
haram."
Oh, yeah. Um, yeah. Yeah, they they like
to say we're
Oh, yeah. Um, yeah. Yeah, they they like to say we're sexual deviants for being
Muslim, which is the funniest part of it
all. I mean, I explained it in that.
But we live in a
all. I mean, I explained it in that. But we live in a sexual sexualized
culture that now you just talk about,
you know,
I don't do My point is
you know, I don't do My point is I'm called a
sexual deviant, but I don't do any of
that sexual stuff.
Yeah.
Like I I don't
Yeah. Like I I don't I don't even like looking
at women, honestly. Like I'm at the
point where if I get caught
at women, honestly. Like I'm at the point where if I get caught looking
over, I'm like I get mad at myself. Um I
don't follow a single woman on
Instagram.
don't follow a single woman on Instagram. I like to limit my attention.
And I think that limiting your attention
gives it
And I think that limiting your attention gives it more value in itself.
So when I want to, you know, look for a
wife and find a high quality partner,
So when I want to, you know, look for a wife and find a high quality partner, I
don't even have to debate with her
about, you know, do you follow guys or
this and that. I'm
about, you know, do you follow guys or this and that. I'm just naturally um
attracting that because I don't follow
any women.
Yeah.
any women. Yeah. It goes back to I think there's a
lot of hypocrisy. It's so much hypocrisy
out
lot of hypocrisy. It's so much hypocrisy out there and trying to point the finger
at something you don't you to push on
Muslims
at something you don't you to push on Muslims and these terms. And most of
these people um are projecting and
they're the
these people um are projecting and they're the ones who are addicted
probably to this what is this new thing
only fans.
Yeah.
only fans. Yeah. The whole culture like putting the
women out there just to sell any
product.
Um
product. Um and Muslims live by a strict moral
code
are the furthest away from
um look at Khabib for example. This is
look he he he just got recently
um look at Khabib for example. This is look he he he just got recently you know
the fight of Khabib. It was a big
controversy because he put his hand on
his heart. Show respect
controversy because he put his hand on his heart. Show respect to the lady. He
didn't shake her hand out of respect.
Did you see that one?
Yeah. So,
yeah.
It's
yeah. It's it's it's it's clown show. It's
honestly a
clown show. Yeah.
So, he's a sexual deviant
clown show. Yeah. So, he's a sexual deviant because he
won't even a Muslim really practicing.
They can't comprehend that it's he's
won't even a Muslim really practicing. They can't comprehend that it's he's not
him not shaking your hand is him saying
he's not worthy to shake your hand. He's
saying you're too amazing of a being for
me to shake your hand.
I
me to shake your hand. I don't deserve to. That's what it's
about. I I don't know. I don't even get
how they twist that into
about. I I don't know. I don't even get how they twist that into some weird
thing. Like, why do you want to shake my
hand so bad? I don't know.
If you go back in time, didn't
