Barry web it is news Tuesday on Thursday
0:00:03.060,0:00:09.210
August the 29th and what have you got
0:00:06.960,0:00:12.000
for us today for the news from the
0:00:09.210,0:00:15.540
Islamic world well this is actually came
0:00:12.000,0:00:18.180
from United States of America from Newt
0:00:15.540,0:00:19.320
the state of New York in today’s in the
0:00:18.180,0:00:21.480
moral paper today
0:00:19.320,0:00:24.390
there was an article that to prison
0:00:21.480,0:00:26.820
guards in the state of New York had been
0:00:24.390,0:00:30.929
fired by the prison system because they
0:00:26.820,0:00:35.270
had grown Islamic beards and so they
0:00:30.929,0:00:38.550
sued the system and contended that that
0:00:35.270,0:00:42.120
their beards were necessary because of
0:00:38.550,0:00:46.050
religious reasons and the judge
0:00:42.120,0:00:47.879
presiding over the case granted their
0:00:46.050,0:00:50.610
wishes and forced the prison system to
0:00:47.879,0:00:52.590
take them back now the point I want to
0:00:50.610,0:00:55.079
make on this is that nowhere in the
0:00:52.590,0:01:00.030
Quran doesn’t even mention the word
0:00:55.079,0:01:03.030
beard miss list command it and again I
0:01:00.030,0:01:05.970
offer every any Muslim out there in fact
0:01:03.030,0:01:09.780
every Muslim out there oh 1.7 billion of
0:01:05.970,0:01:13.290
you I give you $1,000 each of you if you
0:01:09.780,0:01:16.159
can find in the Quran where Accomack
0:01:13.290,0:01:19.610
work commands Muslims to have beers
0:01:16.159,0:01:23.520
however in Sharia law it does say that
0:01:19.610,0:01:27.000
then that all men should grow a beard
0:01:23.520,0:01:28.979
and it must be the length of the beard
0:01:27.000,0:01:33.290
must be the width of the hand that’s how
0:01:28.979,0:01:36.500
you tell someone is truly Islamic now
0:01:33.290,0:01:40.259
that being said if you look at the
0:01:36.500,0:01:44.189
police forces and the military forces
0:01:40.259,0:01:47.369
around the Islamic world I don’t see any
0:01:44.189,0:01:51.750
beards even in the the and even in
0:01:47.369,0:01:54.840
Iran’s IRGC that Iranian Revolutionary
0:01:51.750,0:01:57.060
Guard Corps they allow short
0:01:54.840,0:01:59.520
well-trimmed beards but you don’t see
0:01:57.060,0:02:02.100
anything long so-called Islamic beards
0:01:59.520,0:02:03.540
so this whole thing about the beard you
0:02:02.100,0:02:05.549
know the beard yeah the only two
0:02:03.540,0:02:10.259
entities in the world that actually
0:02:05.549,0:02:11.730
enforced that are the Taliban and Isis
0:02:10.259,0:02:13.860
Islamic state
0:02:11.730,0:02:15.450
okay now the way I entered
0:02:13.860,0:02:18.210
I don’t remember where it came from but
0:02:15.450,0:02:21.390
there’s some scriptural reference in
0:02:18.210,0:02:24.390
Islam saying that Muslims must not
0:02:21.390,0:02:26.190
imitate the ku far and that the whole
0:02:24.390,0:02:29.850
beard thing worked out if they grew a
0:02:26.190,0:02:34.050
beard and they shaved the mustache close
0:02:29.850,0:02:35.760
it was to be opposite to the infidel
0:02:34.050,0:02:38.220
which would typically have a mustache
0:02:35.760,0:02:41.010
and no beard and they would also wear
0:02:38.220,0:02:44.010
their watch on the right wrist and this
0:02:41.010,0:02:47.370
this is still to this very moment a good
0:02:44.010,0:02:49.080
way to identify somebody likely to come
0:02:47.370,0:02:51.300
up with sudden jihad syndrome I see
0:02:49.080,0:02:53.790
people walking around me on the streets
0:02:51.300,0:02:57.330
in Ottawa which are often wearing the
0:02:53.790,0:02:59.790
the Pakistani nightgown too weak what I
0:02:57.330,0:03:01.620
call the wee willie winkie outfit and
0:02:59.790,0:03:04.350
they’ll have the beard and the shaved
0:03:01.620,0:03:06.660
like closely shaved or totally shaved
0:03:04.350,0:03:09.230
mustache watch on the other wrist if
0:03:06.660,0:03:11.190
they’re still wearing a watch and I
0:03:09.230,0:03:14.070
assume it’s somewhere in scripture that
0:03:11.190,0:03:16.320
it says to grow the beard and shave the
0:03:14.070,0:03:19.050
mustache to not be allowed to go far or
0:03:16.320,0:03:23.010
is that just something that evolved from
0:03:19.050,0:03:26.400
these different jadi groups well I’m
0:03:23.010,0:03:28.140
actually in the you know it’s in Islamic
0:03:26.400,0:03:30.510
jurisprudence fact again the so-called
0:03:28.140,0:03:34.260
reliance of the traveler Holmdel to Salt
0:03:30.510,0:03:37.770
Lake it does say that the Muslim male
0:03:34.260,0:03:41.180
should have this this barrel hand length
0:03:37.770,0:03:42.989
yeah as long as the width of your hand
0:03:41.180,0:03:45.180
but it doesn’t say anything about
0:03:42.989,0:03:46.950
because we have to be different than the
0:03:45.180,0:03:49.980
kafar and the whole thing about wearing
0:03:46.950,0:03:52.860
to watch on the right on the right wrist
0:03:49.980,0:03:55.470
is would be a modern development of
0:03:52.860,0:03:58.500
course and in that sense it would be the
0:03:55.470,0:04:01.530
reaction to us go far you must be
0:03:58.500,0:04:03.660
different from from us I guess when in
0:04:01.530,0:04:06.290
Muhammad’s time they did wear the
0:04:03.660,0:04:10.320
sundial on the right wrist I guess I’m
0:04:06.290,0:04:12.420
the water clock or water clock yeah I
0:04:10.320,0:04:16.200
shudder to think what they’d use for
0:04:12.420,0:04:20.000
water so yeah that’s that’s interesting
0:04:16.200,0:04:20.000
so thank you for that Barry web
