[0:00]think about the fact that this rainbow Spectrum that's been gaining more

[0:08]and more prominence and strength over the last couple of decades right

[0:13]that's a fraternity that's a Brotherhood even though the various disparate groups

[0:18]within the rainbow the Rainbow Coalition share little more than their desire

[0:27]to completely upend society's moral fabric they don't share much in common

[0:32]between themselves but that is a shared goal and so they think

[0:35]of themselves as a fraternity that's why they have a shared logo

[0:38]a shared emblem a shared uh set of objectives they demand recognition

[0:47]they demand Acceptance in fact their slogan is toward 100 Acceptance in

[0:52]other words if there is one single person in society who refuses

[0:55]to accept us we will not rest until that person concedes until

[1:02]that individual surrenders to our will he or she has to accept

[1:05]us for Who We Are and so that's a fraternity that's a

[1:09]Brotherhood but notice how Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the verse

[1:15]that I recited in the Arabic language denotes exclusivity in other words

[1:27]the only Brotherhood is that of the Believers and they're the only

[1:35]Brotherhood why does Allah say that despite the fact that we have

[1:38]all kinds of brotherhoods as we explained depending on how you identify

[1:41]yourself depending on how you define your identity what this means is

[1:49]that the only Brotherhood the only fraternity that receives Divine backing and

[1:58]recognition and has legitimacy in the eyes of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

[2:02]is what the Brotherhood that revolves around faith the Brotherhood that's grounded

[2:09]in belief in Allah His prophets his Messengers and his values this

[2:18]is the only true identity every other marker of identity that's not

[2:25]based on this or stems from it is not only worthless but

[2:31]is detrimental to us it's a seed that grows nothing but vitriol

[2:38]and hatred in other words my Arabic ethnicity or language or nationality

[2:44]is completely worthless unless it is grounded on and based on what

[2:51]on my religious identity whether I'm an Arab Persian Turk KOJA it

[2:57]doesn't matter it's all worthless it's all worthless and one of the

[3:05]great lessons that we learn from is exactly that you've seen how

[3:14]every other marker every other means of defining an identity is completely

[3:23]dissolved when you make the walk when you're on your pilgrimage towards

[3:27]karbala none of that matters whether you're rich or poor whether you're

[3:32]Arab or non-arab nobody even asks you about that unless they're curious

[3:37]unless they want to feel proud of the fact that we have

[3:44]so many different identities all melting in this pot that we call

[3:49]a game
