A faster pace gets even stronger. So that. Indias experience can be beneficial to these countries also mr president are. About. 303000 years ago you know 3000 years ago. A great port of india whose name was going in. He wrote. In tamil which is the most ancient language of the world he said yeah the movie. Which means. We belong to all places. And we belong to everyone. And this is something that was said 3000 years ago when this sense of belonging beyond borders is unique to india. In the last 5 years india has walked towards strengthening its centuries old great tradition of fraternity among nations and working for the welfare of the world. Which is indeed. In line with the key objectives of the United Nations. On the issues that india raises. The kind of new Global Platforms that india has come forward to build. Seek collective efforts to address. Serious global challenges and issues. But mr president. If you look at it from a historic and per capita emissions perspective. Indias contribution to Global Warming is very low however. India is one of the leading nations when it comes to taking steps to addressing this issue. On one hand. We are working towards achieving the target of 450. 00 gigawatts of for noble energy and on the other hand we have also taken the initiative to create the International Solar alliance. One of the effects of Global Warming is the increasing number and severity of Natural Resources and narges that at the same time are appearing in new areas and in new forms. In view of this india has initiated the formation of the coalition for disaster resilient infrastructure which is also called c d r i. This correlation is something i invite all countries to join this coalition will help build infrastructure that can withstand natural disasters mr president. The largest number of supreme sacrifices made by soldiers of any country for the Un Peacekeeping missions is from india. We belong. To a country that has given the world not to arm but does a message of peace. And that is the reason why. Our voice against terrorism to alert the world about does evil rings with seriousness seriousness and outreach. We believe that this is one of the Biggest Challenges not for any single country but for the entire world and humanity. Or. The lack of unanimity amongst us on the issue of terrorism dense to those very principles that are the basis for the creation of the u. N. And that is why for the sake of humanity. I firmly believe that it is absolutely imperative that the world unite against terrorism and that the world stands as one against terrorism mr president. The face of the world is changing today. Modern technology in the 21st century is bringing about sweeping changes in social life personal life economy security connectivity and in international relations. In such a situation of fragmented world is in the interest of no one neither do we have the option to confine ourselves within our boundaries. In this new era. We will have to give new direction to multilateralism and to the United Nations we will need to give it a new strength mr president 125 years ago the great spiritual guru swami vivekananda. Gave this message to the world during the World Parliament of religion is in chicago right here in america the message was. Harmony and peace. And not dissension. Today the message from the Worlds Largest democracy. For the International Community is still the same harmony and peace. Thank you all very much i hearing Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing the Un General Assembly and his speech that was fairly heavy on domestic achievement talking about the things his country had achieved in 5 years making reference to the way that he was helping t. Bring his own country forwards and also our resoundingly. A resigned saying not of support for the the un the United Nations and multilateralism as cross noted to join a whole at the United Nations for jonah what were the main takeaways of his speech for you. What i think youre absolutely right around remotely. Wasting no time in reminding the General Assembly of his reelection earlier this year to a 2nd term and as you say laying out all the achievements that hes been able to put into place in this developing countries hes keen again and again to remind people of and historically lot the largest campaigns by developing countries in being able to implement public sanitation he want to big was awarded earlier this week from the Gates Foundation Financial Inclusion digital identification Climate Change the fight against tb and so it went on what you didnt hear was much mention indeed any mention of spiraling tensions over kashmir there was an oblique reference perhaps to it in mr modi saying we belong to a country that has given the world not a war but a message of peace and calling for World Leaders to unite in the fight against terrorism now the backdrop to all of this in kashmir of course is his decision in all this to lift self rule special status for indian. Ministered to kashmir sending in thousands more indian troops with reports coming out of that area of Mass Campaign of arrests and reported abuses going on as well its on the communications lockdown has been since no access to television or the internet so those are claims hard to verify mr modi was never going to address this issue head on although its been much talked about this week the Indian Government considers this an internal matter and mr modi said justifying his decision back in august that it was about suppressing separatism and that word terrorism much of which he blames on neighboring pakistan i think well hear a very different tone of speech in a short while now just 2 or 3 speakers from now from his counterpart in pakistan Prime Minister iran khan who i think is going to be strong and combative on this issue hes been warning all week of the dangers of these 2 countries going to war Nuclear Neighbors hes been warning also of the dangers of a potential massacre in indian administered kashmir and so very you picked up on that you know that speech very notable for what it didnt say of course we are waiting to hear from imran khan when he takes to the podium but ed has there any been any as have there been any talks on the sidelines is there because this is an issue which looms large and will loom large over this the General Assembly are there any plans for talks between the leaders of these 2 countries while theyre there. No intro both leaders have had quite a substantial amount of face time with donald trump of course that key to every leader who comes here but to both of them especially. Talking about security talking about terrorism talking about kashmir donald trump had offered to mediate talks between the 2 but only if they are asked him to india said they will talk to no one but the Pakistan Government directly but just at the moment no plans for that to happen as i say iran can likely to be extremely combative heightening the pressure of the tension over kashmir but this General Assembly week is close to finished i think there will be very little opportunity and certainly nothing on the cards for the 2 leaders to me. Their life for the u. N. Will be crossing but see shortly i expect but for now thanks very much indeed well we have heard from indias Prime Minister at the Un General Assembly in us you mentioned pakistans Prime Minister is expected to make his speech shortly its been nearly 2 months now since new delhi launched a security crackdown and indeed administered kashmir say its causing stress and exhausted limiting peoples access to Mental Health care manager engine reports were harness here used to feel safe in his home but now hes finding it increasingly difficult to fight off dark thoughts. Of course all. Who im scared to get nightmares of the incident i see soldiers approaching as if theyre going to shoot me again im not able to sleep properly i keep on waking up a few times during the night my mind stops working sometimes and i get palpitations. Last month as protest swept through srinagar an indian administered kashmir where han was shot by paramilitary officers hes been recovering ever since. Around a little bit which is where hans father nazir holds up his sons x. Rays and says at least 350. 00 shotgun pellets were removed from where hans body yet as worried as he is about where hans physical injuries his ears equally concerned about his sons Mental Health and he will look you will he has become violent and shouts that he will jump from the window at night when he is asleep he shouts they are coming soldiers are coming then we convince him that no one is here everything is fine dont worry then i keep my lap and try to make him sleep. Health care professionals have long known of the Mental Health problems of people in kashmir according to a survey conducted by Doctors Without Borders in 201545 percent of the Adult Population in kashmir showed symptoms of significant mental distress a growing number of doctors are now warning that indias recent move revoking autonomy in indian administered kashmir and its security lockdown are limiting peoples access to Mental Health Care Services in the valley some predict this will also cause a rise in the number of people with Mental Health issues yes they mentally disabled glendon has an impact on this mental cycle. Patients as well as the nominee in the summer because this is planned on has effected. Because of the life they were got more out of old houses as a lot of money just last year zia only began her career as a lawyer zia used to feel enthusiastic about all she hoped to accomplish in the future thats all changed. When i go out of my hole i see shops shut down theres no way on the roads no no nothing nothing on the roads of kashmir when i come back im going to find the 4 walls of my house of my home and i cannot think about my future now zia is despondent what next what next in my life how do i plan my life how do i start my life my professional life. So while. Im sitting at my place i get suicidal thoughts at the same time im suffering from anxiety with nowhere else to go so she can only wait and worry in this room whose was used to provide comfort but now feel like were closing in on her. Iran has released a british tanker that its attained 2 months ago in the strait of hormuz the seizure of the stent imperial in july further escalated tensions in the gulf said big reports from to her on. More than 2 months after being captured by irans revolutionary guard the british flag tank istana imperio has now left the iranian port of bunder abbas tracking data shows the vessel has set a new destination for sheed in the United Arab Emirates iran accused the tankers crew of violating International Maritime regulations its seizure was seen as a retaliation for british marines detaining an iranian super tanker off the coast of gibraltar to. Iran is accused of attempting to deliver oil to syria in violation of its use sanctions against the regime the rename tank it was released last month and despite irans reassurances to a British Court delivered its cargo to syria the release of the stone in peril is being seen as an attempt to ease tensions in the gulf and some say may be intended to make european leaders more receptive to proposal for a new peace plan thats after iran deny devolvement in attacks on saudi Oil Processing plants yet this month rebels claimed responsibility but germany britain and france have all joined the u. S. And saudi arabia in accusing the iranians something u. S. President donald trump was keen to point out to the u. N. General assembly in response to irans recent attack on Saudi Arabian Oil Facilities we just impose the highest level of sanctions on Iran Central Bank and sovereign wealth fund. All nations have a duty to act. No responsible government should subsidize irans blood lust. Iranian leaders have said they want to counter a new u. S. Led Naval Coalition in the gulf but the pentagon says it will help protect shipping from further attacks they ring is also want to find a way to avoid u. S. Sanctions on irans economy lifeline or that sports france has been working to save the 2015 nuclear deal that trumpery through from 16 months ago the joint comprehensive plan of action allowed to iran to trade oil in exchange for curbing its Nuclear Activities iran has. Been reducing its commitments to the deal saying European Countries need to find a way around u. S. Sanctions but european leaders appear to be growing increasingly frustrated with irans failure to comply with parts of the deal u. S. Sanctions against irans oil and Banking Sector taking their toll president rouhani may be calculating that the release of the stairway in peril will it to fund relief for iran struggling economy and show european leaders that engaging with iran can have positive outcomes a side big aljazeera that iran. Felt daikon as a carton or dried Global Limited Maritime Security Risk Consultancy he says interfering with shipping would make a run more isolated and 1st you have to remember this is good news for shipping overall so having the tank released after 70 days with its crew on board will no doubt be relieved to be heading to a more friendly environment where theyll no doubt change a crew out before the russell goes on to continue as normal operations we have to consider the fact that this would never likely have happened had the u. K. Not attained the grace one in the 1st place the irans meddling with International Shipping doesnt serve its overall case it brings potentially only the ire of the world because of the nature of shipping these are International Ships with International Interests international cargoes doesnt necessarily serve its bigger agenda so does it in a whats the implication an indication is effectively iran would want to release this vessel to take the i on the pressure off having detain them for 70 days. Still to come on aljazeera ice insecurities across afghanistan on the eve of president ial elections violent protests over a mexican mystery 43. 00 are missing students and supporters still demanding justice. Another is to cloud in the sky over central and Southern China but you master a little more about development wise a submarine of a taiwan has some rain coming out of the high ground and maybe in western sichuan. I think weve now got months of relatively dry stuff temperatures slowly forward currently were in the high twentys to the low thirtys this is to be expected now we still got very active monsoon rains with flooding fatal flooding in maharashtra but you can see it doesnt look as if its there all the time it is pinned to the circulation in a good year out on the harassed her once more so more rain is going to come and it spreads across on to pradesh and right up to their shop or dish as well which is a little bit late in the year for rain in this part flash flooding is the potential result of that thats the concentration very in the next day or so its east off a little in sri lanka but it might well come back again elsewhere in india and bangladesh some right now i know its late in the season this cloud spreads dross into quarter back towards southern saudi and yemen probably the result of tropical soccer in that landed in oman you might get showers out of it particularly i think in the Higher Ground in the west as of yemen or saudi otherwise its dry and getting slightly hotter. Whether sponsored by qatar and. This is a dialogue which you decide not to have children to say the plot its whats at stake is really human survival everyone has a voice but a start with our community because of course this is a debate and its a heated one it will be asian literally be able to do a ph d. And i fully join the global conversation with people i think if only they knew what is happening to we were muslims they will be with us and they will be outraged on aljazeera. This is a quick reminder of the headlines this hour iran has released a british tanker that has been detained in the strait of hormuz since july the senate and piro departed from the port of bandar asked and is now in International Waters terms tracers in egypt are again calling for president sisi to step down or in process of spread to several cities these pictures are from antigovernment protests in the capital cairo police of course of all entrances to Tahrir Square in the heart of the threads 11 revolution there have also been process in support of ceasing. Well lets say with this joining me on set is you hey i got a name aljazeera middle east on an analysts what we see that the tahir square has been closed in a certain weve seen a lot of our rests in the one up. Do you would you say these protests or are different to any others that weve seen in egypt in the run up to this thought with the flu generation or protest of the deliberation weve seen. Back in 2011 and even back into saddam 13 right after the coup detat led by president up at the high seas we are literally talking about a completely different generation also were talking about a completely different strata of the society that were seeing on the streets i mean for instance if you want to have an example back in 2011 i was there personally and after you square for 18 days during the revolution and i could see clearly that the people most of the participants most of the protesters just happened to be from the upper crust of the middle class and the upper loss of the society and the the the funny thing is that they have taken to the streets on behalf of the poor stratum of the society calling for social justice now what we are seeing weve seen the lower strata of the society taken out of the streets calling for food respect for basic human rights its completely different ok i would you say that this is something of a divide that this develops certainly in the in the years following that fancy 13. Said are you seeing more people in the lower strata of society why is that we kind of how do you explain that because of for many reasons actually the 1st generation that led the 2011 revolution have been subjects of torture literally pulled detentions and even executions extrajudicial executions. Unfortunately i have to say that the region have managed to create a completely new frankenstein to itself the new frankenstein. Its out. Because of starvation this is the worst thing we can expect all the rejean not but the regime expected things they are showing our viewers pictures here of the 2 different types of protests we have protests in support of president c. C. These are the pictures were showing you now and certainly the other process should be filmed on looks like mobile phone footage these are the ones calling for president sisi to go and now you mentioned. There had been arrests and torture in the run up city. The initial process of the arab spring were seeing that no in fact the u. N. High commissioner for human rights has expressed concerns about what theyre calling the lack of g. Process following arrests linked to the protests in egypt do you think that weve had Human Rights Watch on this program talking about the fact that thousands of people have been detained for taking part in these process do you think well start to see external pressure being exerted on president sisi. Well. When you Say International pressure what do you mean i mean coming from which direction if were talking about the United Nations well i mean the United Nations actually the provide nicely to richard you know from time to time we provide that kind of lip service thing which doesnt help that much yes morally its its good but it doesnt help that much but if we are talking about real International Pressure then we should be talking about specific countries like the United States the biggest ally over of the fatah is easy we should be talking about the European Community we should be talking about actually a major player which is is will be the biggest ally and the most staunch ally about the fact that its easy region to speak so what kind of International Pressure were talking about here it depends as for the United States were not talking about one thing were talking about Big Government but when we talk about the government we have differences between the administration and the rest you know the the rest of the government which is the body that has been represented by the congress yes the congress have been very very proactive on condemning from from time to time but its not enough we have to be talking about the Administration Mr trump is considering up at the high seas see as a personal friend. He even calls in his favorite dictator but he doesnt mind to stand squarely behind him how long would it last nobody knows. The European Community have been very positive i mean yesterday or day before yesterday they came out with a statement a very short and concise and thank god it was short and concise and b. Demanded the unconditional release of all the b. 2 knees you know in the last week so i guess we can. I have to wait longer to to to see how things are going to be played out on the by the International Community and it depends on the strings and the massiveness of the protesters on the streets ok well thats something well certainly be monitoring it here at aljazeera for now thanks very much for your analysis thats you hear again they are joining us live on set. Thousands of protesters are in Hong Kong Central Business District and supports of activists attains near the border with Mainland China many in the Holden Center believed to trees in hospital some of broken bones on thursday the embattled chief executive carry lances heart and Community Dialogue sessions with members of the public is the 1st 1st time she sat down with her critics since the protests began 16 weeks ago sirrah clark has the latest from hong kong.

Hundreds of former u. S. National security and Foreign Policy officials have signed a statement calling Donald Trumps phone call with his ukrainian counterparts a profound National Security concern yes democrats are appealing for more witnesses to come forward with any evidence trump asked ukraines leader to investigate his political rival joe biden the whistleblower has also accused white house officials of trying to conceal politically Sensitive Information about trumps call with selinski i did joe castro joined us earlier from washington and said officials he signed the letter came from across the political spectrum. These are some top former officials they include former u. S. Ambassadors officials from the department of justice the department of Defense National intelligence members of that community who serve not only under president obama but also under previous republican administrations any athletes sign their names to this letter they noted that in the past they have publicly held their top this fight ongoing concerns of President Trumps dealing with national cannily of National Security but that now in their words the revelations of recent days demand a response President Trump appears to have leverage the authority and resources of the highest office in the land to invite additional foreign interference into our democratic processes now President Trump has been on twitter this morning not responding directly to that letter but defending his call with a lot of noise alinsky as being not possibly more all rable or better he attacked the media accusing it of being in cahoots with democrats who trump says continues on what he calls a witch hunt against. A former british Prime Minister from Boris Johnsons own party has attacks the governments position on brics its john major fears Prime Minister johnson could use what he called political chicanery to force a person so leave the European Union on the job or 31st without a deal he also accuses johnson of deliberately whipping up public anger so on the go you go house elisa surveillance from london. The comments from the former Prime Minister john major reflect in part what the moderates and the conservative party as well as some of the conservative Party Grandees feel about the current Prime Minister Barak Johnson and that is the lack of trust that there is between the 2 wings of the Party John Major has said that he fears that the current Prime Minister were trying to exploit a loophole this particular one who said would involve by using an order of the council in order to suspend the legislation passed the departure date and thereby ensuring a chaotic exit from the European Union he criticized the Prime Minister also of using deeply divisive rhetoric in his speeches the government seems intent on. By using emotional and evocative. Can only provoke fear and anger. And fuel grievances against parliament. And the law consider what this means. It means this government wishes to win reelection by inciting opposition to the most important state and its freedom meanwhile the Prime Minister Boris Johnson the has refuted the allegations and even though he said he felt that some of the comments that were made by m. P. s in parliament when they spoke of having been confronted with Death Threats were appalling he still doubled down on his own calling of the withdrawal act number 2 the surrender act and certainly doesnt look like hes backing down on that we will debate the law. But were confident we can come out oct 31st and the best way to do that is to to get a deal and so thats why the surrender out is so damaging because it. Has had the effect with our european friends making them think maybe maybe poland can block this thing maybe maybe they maybe they will be forced to extend and that if youre in a negotiation that obviously makes it makes it more difficult so you dont we are going to we are still cautiously optimistic that we can do it meanwhile negotiations are continuing between the u. K. And the European Union the u. K. Brets secretary Stephen Buckley went to meet you chief negotiator on friday however there is little in the way of optimism from brussels they see the chance of being able to strike a deal before the end of october looking less and less likely with the u. K. They say having put very little in in terms of any working plans with regards to providing an alternative to the backstop that is the mechanism designed to prevent a hard border between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland and with time ticking by they say it doesnt look likely that they will come to that anytime soon. Nigerian police say they freed more than 300. 00 male Students Health captive in a building in the Northern City of kut dinner some were found with metal chains around their ankles its alleged some of the students as young as 9 were sexually abused and tortured 7 people have been arrested admit it just has more from a butcher.

Rwanda has taken in a group of african refugees from libya is the 1st of up 230000 refugees being relocated from facilities there may be a host many people whove gone to north africa to try and reach by sea who want to offer to take the men after media reports showed some in terrible conditions. Baba burketts the United Nations spokesman for the United Nations High Commission for refugees he told us more about the evacuees well hear from him later but 1st lets cross back to see the United Nations in new york where iran can the pakistani premier is speaking. When we have a chance to discuss. Problems that the world is facing i want to talk about a lot of problems but just for today. And i especially came to to this forum despite. A difficult time in my country facing challenges. I would not have come because i feel that there are some very urgent problems which the world must address. First of all i start with Climate Change so many leaders have talked about Climate Change but mr president. I feel that there is a lack of seriousness perhaps World Leaders do not some of the leaders who can do a lot do not realize the urgency of the situation we have a lot of ideas but as someone said ideas without funding is may hallucination pakistan ill give you legs start with my own country. Our country is amongst the top 10. Nations of the world which are most affected by Climate Change we depend. Upon our rivers. We are mainly an agricultural country and 80 percent of the water and i rivers comes from a glaciers the glaciers not just on the pakistani side even india the river in the. 80 percent of the water. In ganges and the indian rivers also comes from the glaciers from the himalayan glaciers karakorum in the bush. And these glaciers are melting at a quite rapid pace we detected already 5000 glisten lakes and in our mountains and if this keeps going if nothing is done. We are scared that there we are humans are facing a huge catastrophe in my country when my arctic into power in the province of k. P. We planted a 1000000000 trees in 5 years. Now weve set ourselves a target of 10000000000 trees and pakistan idea being to counter this the effects of Global Warming but one country cannot do anything this has to be a combined effort of the world. My optimism comes from the fact that humans the almighty has endowed humans were great powers. We can do anything. Provided us survival instinct is stirred up. And this is really what i hope that the United Nations will take the lead in this there must be more emphasis richer countries must be pushed countries that are responsible for mainly are responsible for Greenhouse Gas emissions they must be pushed because our country contributes minuscule amount to Greenhouse Gases so i feel that the United Nations must take leadership and this my 2nd. Issue for me right now. It is even more critical mr president every year billions of dollars leave the poor countries and go towards rich countries billions of dollars siphoned off by the ruling elites of the developing world and they find their way into western Bank Accounts offshore accounts tax havens Expensive Properties hidden behind companies bought in western capitals. Mr president this is devastating the developing world this is causing more poverty deaths its impoverishing the developing world the difference between rich and poor countries is growing because of this Money Laundering which happens because money leads to poor countries a direct countries is not treated the same as for instance money from drugs or general financing the seriousness which generate financing and money from drugs the way it is treated its not the same the where the poor countries are being plundered by their elites its not happening in my country when my when i took. Charge of our government a year back. In the 10 years preceding that. Our total debt went up 4 times the debt we had it accumulated in 60 years just in 10 years it went up 4 times as a result the total revenue we collected in one year hard what went into debt service and how were going to spend money on a human being 220000000 people when half the money is going into debt servicing because. Our country was plundered by the elites the ruling elite and the easily they could get the money out and when when mr president we look waited properties in western capitals bought by this money through corruption and Money Laundering. And located the properties of these corrupt leaders we find it so difficult to retrieve it that money if we retrieve that money we could spend on a human being. But there is such its so difficult the laws protecting these criminals we do not have the sort of money to have expensive lawyers and spend millions and millions of dollars we need help from the rich countries. Mr president its critical that the rich countries must show political will they cannot allow this to happen how can how can the poor countries spend money on Human Development which the United Nations asks s. D. D. How are we going to do it when this money can easily leave our countries so unless the rich countries intend to burn was. To stop economic refugees coming as we see right now they must take action they must take action now we must be a deterrent drew corrupt ruling elites should not be able to take money out easy and pocket into foreign Bank Accounts and into these properties abroad. And i never understand why why do we have these tax havens why is this allowed why shouldnt rich people pay taxes. Why is it legal to say if you have these decks able where you have these secret accounts because you know world is changing the population of the world is growing sooner or later youre going to have a crisis if the poor get poorer and the rich get richer there is going to be a crisis sooner or later so this is by 2nd point i hope that the United Nations takes a lead in this it involves the i. M. F. The World Bank Asian Development Bank they must find a way of stopping this plunder of the developing world my 3rd point my 3rd point is islam a phobia there 1300000000 muslims in this world there are millions of muslims living in other countries European Countries and the us as minorities islam of since 911. 00 has has grown at a pace where it is alarming human communities live together they should be understanding amongst them but islamophobia is creating a division muslim women wearing her job its become an issue. Its become an issue in some countries her job is some sort of a weapon a woman can take of her clothes and countries but she cant put on workloads how is this happening because of islamophobia and where how did this islam or phobia start after 911 and why did it start because certain western leaders equated terrorism with islam. Islam or terrorism. Radical islam. What is radical islam there is only one islam. And that is this line we follow of prophet bob but some of our what i was there is not islam. Radical islam islamic terrorism what message they send to people in the west and why is there islam islam phobia how is a person in new york in the midwest in the us and European Capital how is it going to distinguish between who is a moderate muslim and was a radical muslim because terrorism has nothing to do with any religion this islam is terrorism islamic radicalism and sadly used by leaders this is what been the main reason for this islamophobia and it has caused pain and ones muslims we in muslim countries watch this islamophobia traveling abroad and its getting worse and. Just say mr president that in European Countries it is marginalizing muslim communities and we all know that marginalization leads to radicalization some of the people who end up as militants in syria and other places or from marginalized muslim communities and my point here is that we must address this issue im sad to say that we Muslim Leaders have not addressed this issue either after 911 when this thing came about war against radical islam rather than Muslim Leaders trying to explain to the west that there is no such thing as radical islam in or human communities they are radicals theyre liberals and are moderate all human communities kristens jews everyone has a. But islam is not had a good neither judaism neither christianity the hindu ism nor religion preaches radicalism or the basis of all religion is compassion and justice which differentiates us from animals the Animal Kingdom but unfortunately the muslim. Leadership was so scared of being called radical islam that all of them became moderates. And pakistan we we were in the eye of the storm and our government coined a phrase called in light and moderation no one knows what it meant but everyone started putting on western suits that they were moderates started speaking even those who didnt know english would speak english because they were moderates no one had a clue what it was because we and the muslim world did not explain to the west that there is the such thing as radical islam. One of the reasons why after 911. 00 islam was supposed to be. Equated with terrorism was Suicide Attacks because the 911 bombers did a Suicide Attack all sorts of theories came up but the muslims are. Involved in Suicide Attacks because they will get virgin and heavens some came out what about women Suicide Attackers so this bizarre thing happened we know what explained Suicide Attacks and islam. Where you quoted. No one did research that before 911 the majority of Suicide Attacks in the world were by tamil tigers who were hindus no one blamed hindu ism and quite rightly what is in the ism got to do with what desperate people were doing in sri lanka. We all know about weve seen films about Japanese Comic is pilots at the end of the 2nd world war doing Suicide Attacks but what blame the religion but here we were. Trying to prove we were moderates and not explaining to the west but the most important thing i wanted to say here today. In explaining this slum of phobia mr president and i feel its very important because ive spent because of i played professional sport in england i spent a lot of time there so i know how the western mind works and how west views religion where the misunderstanding about islam came and it is one of the reasons that it caused a slum a phobia. That was 989 this book was published maligning insulting ridiculous thing a prophet bomb and so low i was solemn and there was a reaction in the muslim world the west couldnt understand what was the problem because in the west because i have spent so much time in the west religion is perceived completely differently they dont like they dont look upon religion like we do and so. Islam was supposed to be an intolerant religion it was against freedom of expression and islam took a real beating 30 years ago i still remember it became a watershed and every 2 or 3 years someone would malign a prophet peace be upon him there would be a reaction by the muslims and again it was a slow and intolerant religion again this time i i blame a certain section of the people in the west who deliberately provoked this knowing the impact it would have but the majority of the people in the west didnt understand this is where again. Muslim leadership let the muslims down we should have explained to them what our prophet peace be upon him meant means to us so in one minute ill try and explain what he means to us a prophet. Was the witness to the divine book the holy koran the holy koran is the book of guidance for muslims and the prophets life. Was living the koran he was an example of what the koran guided us to be so he is the ideal we all tried to get to. The prophet created the state of body down the 1st state in islam that state was the basis of a muslim civilization which became the predominant civilization for the next 700 years and what was that state i has such strange things about islam that it is against women its against minorities the 1st state of islam. In medina. Most of it was the 1st time a welfare state was set up the state took responsibility of the weak weirdoes of poor people handicapped. Attacks the rates spent the money on the poor the state announced that all human beings are children of adam hence equal whatever the color of the skin the state announced the prophet announced. Bed and slave slavery the whole system depended on slavery as it did for many years. In the western societies. The prophet said that one of the greatest deeds is to free a slave but it because the society depended on slavery he said but if but if you have to treat them as an equal member of the family and as a result something happen in a muslim world which hasnt happened in any other civilization slave dentist hes appeared slaves became kings the mom looks slaves who became rule egypt in india there was lived in the cities. And then what minorities again you had that islam. Is supposed to be against by a lot of these let me just make this clear and as long the prophet announced that everyone was free to practice his religion it was a sacred duty to do to protect the places of worship of all religions he announced that every person is equal in front of law whatever his religion or his color. And this is this incredible case and i always quote this but the fort. The head of state of medina he lost a case a court case against a jewish citizen so number one it showed there was a rule of law and no one was above the law and number 2 that a jew citizen was an equal citizen so mr president when a muslim societies unjust to its minorities it is going against the religion of islam and our prophet peace be upon him. So. It is important to understand this the prophet lives in our hearts. When hes ridiculous when hes insulted. It hurts that as we human know. We human beings understand one thing the pain of the heart is far. More hurtful than physical pain and thats why the muslims react and ive always thought that if i ever had the stage i would try and explain this due to the World Community especially to the western community because having lived in the western Community People didnt understand this when i 1st went as a teenager to do england there was a there was a comedy film on jesus christ. Its unthinkable in muslim societies so we need to explain that look in a Human Community we
