terror suspect.
>> Now, what Patrick Ben David has to say
about the San Diego mosque terror attack
is very shocking. But before we get to
that, I want to talk about what no one's
talking about. It's in the manifesto,
the new crusade.
For those that don't know about what
happened in San Diego, let's go to some
of these news reports.
>> Breaking news. Uh we started this show
with the deadly shooting at that mosque
in San Diego, the Islamic Center of San
Diego. Multiple law enforcement
officials just briefed uh tell CNN that
hate speech bigotry was scrolled on one
of the suspects weapons. Uh let's get
right to CNN's Josh Campbell. Josh, tell
us more.
>> A hate crime is how authorities are
classifying the deadly shooting at the
largest mosque in San Diego County.
>> So this was a horrific attack that
happened at a house of worship. This is
a mosque in San Diego. This is where
innocent people were targeted,
traumatized, families, shattered,
worshippers, children targeted. And what
stood out to me almost as much as the
attack itself
was, and this is the shocking part that
I was talking about was the complete
silence. Yes. Terror suspect in deadly
Old Dominion shooting in Virginia.
Father and son terrorist. Okay. Islamist
terrorist,
>> but most of the terrorists are Muslim.
It's a fact.
>> They trying to reverse.
>> And while this is going on, three
Americans killed in ISIS attack in
Syria, possibly motivated by Iran
attacks, Quran found in car as FBI, ICE
terrorism. US launches powerful strikes
against Islamic State. the complete
silence from many of the same voices who
normally can't wait to jump online
anytime there's even the smallest
connection between some kind of violent
act some mentally
sick person if they connect the
connection to Islam they're on it like
my friend Patrick Benav from the PBD now
let's be honest
you know when you really break it down.
You unpackage it. If the suspect has an
Arabic name, had an Arabic name. If he
visited a mosque maybe once, if he ate
hummus at a halal restaurant,
if somebody found out that he has some
kind of a Islamic quote something on
social media, if you like something, you
already know what happens. It's
emergency podcast. The titles on the
videos, they're already already made
before the facts even come out.
And unfortunately, my friend Patrick and
David and crew would definitely have
something to say. It's why right now
it's it's very shocking. Just got
nothing to say. And usually they do.
They got a lot to say. You know, they'll
have everybody on except an actual
knowledgeable Muslim to keep things fair
and balanced while Islam is being
attacked non-stop.
But now
the shocking part, complete silence.
Unbelievable. No outrage,
no emergency meeting, no discussion, no
sympathy.
And that's my question. Why? Especially
when this manifesto literally
refer references the new crusade. It's
very clear and we condemn. I mean this
is I we have no com no problem we
condemn attacks on any innocent
people any house of worship and I can
give you an example from Muslims in
Bosnia during the war no churches were
destroyed you can look this up while
over 600 massaged mosques were destroyed
by the chutnik by the orth by the
Christians there and again we're not
blaming Christianity and we're not
looking at this is an opportunity to do
what they do. No, you know, we are
people. They're not our teachers
and we have integrity. And these are and
why is this? This these are the same
people. These are the same terrorists.
These terrorists who did this, they were
inspired by
these people who were taken out, who
were destroying the masids, the mosque
in Bosnia.
And I'll give you the name shortly and
you can go ahead and make these uh
connections. And what makes this even
more interesting is that my friend
Patrick himself once mentioned that a
friend of his gave him a Quran.
>> Talk to you guys.
>> By the way, last I had a guy, a friend
of mine, I won't say his name, but he's
a Muslim.
>> He came, I brought him to the house. We
made a meal. We sat down. We gave him
food. We had a great conversation
together. And then he takes out a
backpack full of Qurans and books. And
he gives it to And he says, "I want to
talk to you about a religion of m Islam.
>> Religion of peace
>> in my house."
>> Tried to pitch you Islam in your house.
>> By the way, I respect it. I don't say it
in a negative way. I respect the fact
that you have the audacity to come to my
house after I feed you to tell me about
your religion. That's never happened to
me with Jews. So now my question is, why
not actually read it for yourself,
Patrick? Not what anti-Islam
paid haters, paid propagandists, you
know, who are in the Islam hate industry
say about it. Not cherrypick clips.
Actually read the Quran for yourself.
Maybe God put that Muslim in your life
for a reason as a sign. Maybe that Quran
reaching your hands was a sign. Maybe
instead of constantly hearing about
Islam from paid Islam haters, you should
hear it directly from the source itself.
It came to you. You've had Muslim
supporters over the years before you
started to go down this road of hate.
You even have a, as you said, a Turkish
Muslim chef. What kind of Muslim? We
don't know, but he's a Muslim. So again,
nobody's saying you have to make a video
about this terror attack against
Muslims, but at least be consistent.
That's the whole point. Be consistent
because when the goal is to push a
certain narrative about Islam, suddenly
there's endless energies doesn't stop.
Endless commentary, endless concern for
humanity, for people. But when innocent
Muslims, children, and women in a house
of worship, it's a house of God. Those
people are going there to worship God,
the creator, the one God, not to worship
a man, animals, sticks and stones, a
human being, not Muhammad. They're there
on pure monotheism to worship the
creator of the heavens and the earth.
The same God that Jesus worship. That's
the God that Muslims worship. And
Vinnian who has mashallah on his like
body. You know what Allah means? That's
the creator of the heavens and the
earth. In Aramaic, Allah Allah, same
God. But now silence. You claim to
follow Jesus, right? The prince of
peace, who we love, by the way. We love
Jesus, man.
You know, if you didn't know, but when
uh you're reminded from the Bible,
blessed are the peacemakers, suddenly
I'm Mr. Bigshot here. I'm just going to
block you. You know, to me, this is this
is a sign of arrogance, man. It's not
humbleness.
You know, Patrick Elise seems like
somebody you can potentially reason
with, but I I honestly feel those devils
around him, his pride, ego, they just
won't let him. He'll have conversations
with the mafia killers, people from the
left, from communists. He'll bring out
people who have totally insulted and
slandered him, but as far as talking to
an educated Muslim, he just can't do it.
He just can't have this civilized
conversation
about these things. people who will go
ahead and he'll hear from the source. He
just can't. I just it doesn't make any
sense. He's read all these books. He
won't read the Quran. Doesn't make
sense. Not Robert Spencer's Quran or
some hater that put down, you know, his
uh interpretation in it. No. Or have a
Muslim try to explain things. That
doesn't that's doesn't make sense unless
it's a hostile debate like I actually
helped set up on his program. But Vinnie
back this is this this emotional
hostility anytime somebody calmly
challenges the narrative not good is
very weak my friend. Now let's talk
about the manifesto itself. The
manifesto
was title. This is the new crusade sons
of tarant.
The name matters because it directly
look it directly references Brent and
Tarrant. That's the terrace who unal
alived. He unal alived, listen 51
worshippers in a house of worship and
dozens more. This is in the Christ in
New Zealand and the manifesto
pushed out anti-Muslim
hatred, anti-semitism,
you know, against Jews and all this
stuff. We condemned that. We condemned
all of it. But just happened to be this
time he went, if he would have done a a
synagogue, we would have condemned that.
And I'm sure you guys would have been
the fir you would have jumped up and hey
yes we condemn but now it's a mosque hey
nothing silence shocking man
unbelievable
and you can go deeper with this you can
go deeper into this Andrew Breik who
this tren was inspired by in the night
templars and you can just go you you
know looking into it you start seeing
references to crusader imagery knights
templar symbols you know this defending
Europe rhetoric historical reference to
the Balkan. This what happened in
Bosnia. This uh Serbian Christian
nationalism imagery. This is where the
priests they were actually blessing guns
of the soldiers going into and you you
see look at look what happened there. It
was the greatest
uh geno east side. I want to say it so I
don't get flat but this is the greatest
one after World War II. you see what
they were doing and this uh this was
something that now it's all connected to
this what happened at in San Diego
mosque. But let me just be very clear
before people twist my words. We're not
blaming Christianity for the actions of
evil people. And that's the entire point
because Muslims are constantly expected
to answer for every extremist who claims
Islam. Yet when extremists clearly use
Christianity,
Christian symbolism, crusader symbolism,
Christian historical references,
crosses, Templar language, and
anti-Muslim,
hey, rhetoric. Suddenly, everybody
becomes quiet and says, "Well, that's
not real Christianity." Okay, man.
That's uh fair enough, man. That's fair
enough, my friends. But then apply the
same fairness to Islam and Muslims.
That's the point.
Stop the double standards.
That is the point. And words do matter,
you know. So when you're constantly
betraying Muslims as the threat,
constantly attacking Islam, constantly
creating this fear, suspicion, and
hostility towards an entire faith of
nearly two billion human beings,
dehumanizing them.
That has consequences. Did you help at
some point radicalize this person? Some
of these people consuming this content,
they stop seeing Muslims as human
beings. They stop seeing fathers,
mothers, children, families. They start
seeing us Muslims as the enemy. And
that's dangerous. It's very dangerous.
You might be doing it now in a more
sophisticated 4K way, but it's the same
thing, my friend, because these
terrorists who attack the the mosque,
they didn't appear out of nowhere.
People are influenced by these
narratives, by media, by your media,
by this hate online rhetoric, by this
endless fearbased propaganda, and how
much anti-Muslim rhetoric online is
contributing to this radicalization. How
much are you playing a part, you know,
and can one of these videos, one of the
shows have helped push somebody further
down this dark path? That's that's a
fair question to ask. If we'll flip the
other side,
you'll be asking it too. Silence.
Complete silence. So again, the standard
has to be equal and fair.
If we truly care about innocent blood,
then everybody needs to reflect on this
type of hatred, division, fear they are
putting into the world. Because once
innocent blood is spilled, you can't
take those words
