It's the spiraling effect, the snowball effect of the power of ideas and the nature of identity and the moment in which we find ourselves.
And that's, you know, it's not complicated to say we've got to go back to that pluralist space of classical liberalism where we live and let live, but we are loyal to our nation states and a set of ideals that allowed all of us, all three of us, to come together here as free people in a free country.
Yeah, again, see, that's a fantastic question.
And most people won't ask that because they don't want to go into their thought space, which says, all right, the Muslim Brotherhood has connections to Nazism.
And it does.
The connections are as follows.
Hassan al-Banna, the founder, his brother was called Abd al-Rahman al-Banna.
And Abd al-Rahman was in regular contact with Haj Amin al-Husseini, who was then the Mufti of Jerusalem.
And Haj Amin al-Husseini, as the Mufti of Jerusalem, went and met adult Hitler, supported the Nazi movement, disseminated Mein Kampf, and made sure
that he made several broadcasts through prominent Arab platforms to ensure that Arabs were supporting the German Nazis and against the Brits and the French for colonial reasons.
But it goes worse and it goes further than that.
At this point, you could say, you know what, they made the wrong call.
There was a war against Britain.
They were British imperial or colonized subjects and they wanted to be against it and they backed the wrong horse, the Germans.
But it's actually more sinister and deeper than that.
And it's to do with the following.
that Hajj Amin al-Husseini supports the Nazis
anti-Jewish platform.
And he argues that Jewish people have no right to settle in Jerusalem.
So he is behind the Holocaust and supportive of the Holocaust.
