YouTube monologue (French) analyzing an English-language blog post (dated July 13, 2015) written by a person the speaker labels a terrorist. The speaker reads translated excerpts and argues that the blog’s veneration of the Sahaba and the ‘best generation’ rhetoric aligns with Salafist ideology and can motivate violent action; he links the blog post to a shooting three days later (July 16, 2015) that killed several people (speaker says six). The video mixes textual analysis, historical/grammatical notes on the Arabic term sahaba, and normative critique of Salafism as politically violent.
Hello, my friends. It's been a few days since I've been here. So what happens is that when I don't make a video for a long time, I go into a kind of phase where I feel shy, okay? I feel shy making videos. I'm in my car, I have the camera facing me. I suddenly feel alone. I feel the weight of people watching. And I think to myself, what do I do now? I press R. It's going to start rolling. The real is going to. Well, there's no real, but you understand, uh, and I'm going to have to talk to them. And it's really hard to survive these things. There you go. I wanted to tell you, share this with you. There you go. I'm not on stage. I'm just in a parking lot. There's no spotlight coming at me and all that. But still, that's what it's like to be alone in your car with a camera. But I'm not alone. There are many of you. You write to me, all that. It's very, very nice of you to support me. There are a lot of Muslims, and I'm really happy about that. There are a lot of Muslims who write to me and thank me. Because what I do, what I do, you have to know that what I do, I do it with kindness. I don't do deconstruction, do I? I'm not. It's not my goal. I mean, I honestly don't care about people's beliefs. The other day, I was listening to a guy, he was explaining that there was a guy. I don't know what he did. He did something miraculous and so on. Well, that's not my kind of thing, you know. That's not the kind of discourse I subscribe to, okay? I'm not interested. If he wants to believe in supernatural things, stories of fact, I don't mind if people believe in fact. What bothers me, and this is where I come in, is, is the meaning of all my videos that talk about religion, is that I'm interested in helping people, Muslims or not, to deconstruct this part of Islam that allows for the creation of a violent doctrine or a violent discourse.
Okay?
As for the rest, I'm not interested in whether people observe Ramadan or believe in God or don't believe in God or learn the Quran or frankly, they are free to do so. And I respect their beliefs, okay? What I do come in for is when someone kills people, okay? Or says that people should be killed, that interests me, okay? That's it. And that Interests a lot of people of good will, okay? And I do all that. I make these videos with kindness.
Okay?
I'm telling you, I'm not here to attack anyone. So let's stop, okay? I know I told you I was shy and all that, but anyway, let's stop the intro. Let's get straight to the point. So. So I found. I'm going to talk to you about a concept that is rarely discussed, okay? It's an extremely important concept, uh, deadly even. But it's not that it's little known, or it's a concept whose importance we don't really appreciate.
Okay?
And now I'm going to tell you about it. So I found a blog, right? I found a blog. A blog in English.
Okay?
The post is from July 13, 2015.
Okay.
And there's someone talking. He's talking about an allegorical story. Well, we don't care what story he's talking about. Ah. The important thing is the part that I translated into French that I'm going to read to you. So the part that I'm here. This part is just a part of the English text that I translated into French to avoid translating it in real time. You know, it. It's better to translate in advance. So he says, I'll explain to you what's behind it. Huh? Of course, we often talk about the Sabas Sahaba. This is the concept that we're going to talk about in today's video. I'll explain to you what it is and their religious practice. We talk about their prayers at night, when they read the Quran, pray to God and observe fasting. But have you noticed, Janiel, have you noticed that at a certain time towards the end of their lives, almost all the Sahabas were political leaders or army generals? They all waged jihad for Allah. Each of them had to make sacrifices in their lives, and some even gave up all their wealth to make hij. The image you have of the Sahaba living like priests, cloistered in monasteries is not true. All of them, towards the end of their lives, became governors or army men. The Sahaba were very involved in establishing Islam in the world. Their mission was to establish Islam and live it. They are the best generation that has ever lived since the prophets. They are the best humans that have ever lived. We ask Allah to make us follow the king. Well, I hope not. So what is it? So who is the blog? Who is this guy who writes this blog? I am telling you so that you can understand the importance of the concept, the scope of which Many do not appreciate. So this was written on July 13, 2015, okay? And this guy, this guy's block, in fact, this terrorist's block, and this guy on the 16th, so three days after writing this post on this blog, opened fire on a federal building in the United States. He killed a number of people. He got shot at the end. Okay, I see that he killed six people.
Okay?
So this is his blog. And what I was reading to you is the last post. This is his last post on his blog. So around the time he opened fire on these people in the United States, he had. You can imagine that this is the kind of idea he had. I think that at the time, I think he was even going to press or publishing this article on his blog. I think that the idea of the attack was extremely, let's say advanced, or maybe it had already been decided. Okay, so who are the sahaba? The sahaba, I don't like that word. I'll tell you why. Uh, the sahaba, that's the plural of that, okay? It means companion. It means companion. Companion of the Prophet. Among Muslims, it's a huge sticking point between the Sunnis and the Shiites.
Okay?
The Americans who were shot on July 16 were shot in the name of the sahaba, as the text says. But the Shiites have been getting shot for 1400 years because of the sahaba. So they've become experts in the field against their will.
Okay?
After being massacred and all that. For that, I mean, you end up understanding what the enemy feeds on. So the Americans who died, they didn't understand anything. They didn't know why they died. Not even the Americans who investigate this kind of thing and all that. It's true that it's a bit beyond them. So let me explain. The word saw in Arabic has several translations. One of the translations is friend. That's a false translation, okay? Saw is not a friend. Saw is a word in Arabic and is an extremely neutral word. It means companion. But even companion in French is a word that has a positive connotation. The Arabic companion, the Arabic sand, has neither positive nor negative connotations, okay? It can have a negative connotation in a positive context, depending on our context. I'll give you an example. An example is the Quran, the sour 812-281-22. Can you stop the video and watch it?
Okay.
What does it say? I read it in Arabic. I read it in French. Your companion is not crazy at all. Who is the verse addressed to? Is he addressing the Prophet's Friends. No, he's not addressing the Prophet's friends. He's addressing the people who didn't believe in him. He's addressing his enemies who called him a madman. And how is he described in the Quran? How is the relationship between them and him? How is it defined?
Okay.
So here it's their prophet. And he says, you, friend. Well, your friend. You. You understand? I used an abuse of language. He's your companion. He's not a madman. So here, of course, it's studied in a negative sense. There's also another verse. Why am I taking the Quran? Because. To go back to the Arabic of the time, because after 1400 years, it's true that the meaning of words shifts and all that. We have to put it back in the context when something was said. Let me show you another verse, 68 to 48.
Okay?
And here, the part that interests me. So if I translate it in particular, is not to be like the fish's companion. Actually, no, it's not the fish's companion. The translator here does a good job. He says, don't be like the man with the fish. The man with the fish is Jonah. So, in fact, the word sab allows us to construct, uh, this figure in French. How do we say, uh, the man with the fish. It's sa ball. Or, for example, Saul Gemel. It would be the man with the camel. Right? So it allows us to construct this kind of construction. You notice that it's extremely, extremely neutral. There's no man with the fish. It doesn't mean the friend of the fish.
Okay?
It's neutral. It's the guy who has a relationship with the fish, who. Who has a story with the fish, no matter what type of story.
Okay?
So saab, the plural of saw is normally a shob. Why don't I like the word sahaba? Because it's supposed to be the plural of saw. However, this plural is wrong. I don't even know where it comes from. It's not Arabic. Ah. What's his name? Ibn Mandor. Ibn Mandor wrote a huge encyclopedia of Arabic. It's the biggest that ever existed. Called, listen. The Language of the Arabs. And in this encyclopedia, he describes all the formulas, the words, all that, and one thing he says. He says, never has a plural been made this way.
Okay?
He says, for those who speak Arabic, I'll explain the grammatical rule. He says we never make the plural of fa.
Okay, okay.
The weight of sa f and the weight of sa f A. Each word in Arabic has a weight. And we know very well that in Arabic, the plural of FA is not fa, it only says in. There is a single word, world, that some in. Some people make the plural. In this way, when Arabs say sahabat, I tell you, it's a bit like if I said the hamo to say friends, it sounds false, okay? For someone who studies Arabic, it sounds false, that's all. So the friends of the Prophet, this gentleman, this gentleman beating around the bush, he almost found out. If he was a little bit smarter than that, he would have understood because look what happens. You notice that at a certain time, towards the end of their lives, all the sahabas. So he says it in the sense, I have friends, supposedly. In fact, we know very well that it is a neutral. We're political leaders or army generals, okay? Governors, a little lower down. Army men. They are the human walls that have never lived. So what I did, I removed all the unnecessary text to explain to you a little bit how it works in disturbed minds like that. I'm going to read you a certain number of words that I underlined, okay?
Okay.
Avoiding all the frills around it. Political leaders, army generals, governors, army men are the best humans that have ever lived. And there, There you have it. And there we are really in the heart. There we are in the heart of sunism. We. We have. You see how it works? That's how it works. In fact, it's not. It's not. If this gentleman were alive, I would have liked him to watch my video, but, well, it's too late for him. It's not because these people were friends of the Prophet and were pious and all that, that they became army generals, governors, caliphs, emirs, sultans and so on. It's quite the opposite. It's quite the opposite. It's not just the. It's so obvious, my friends, when you read the history of Islam, it's really obvious. It's because a certain number of people, not just the cream of the crop, often real scoundrels, often criminals, murderers, came to power and became caliphs who were born sultans, emirs and all that.
Okay?
While they were all murderers, torturers, corrupt people, dictators and all that. And then in hindsight, they feel like they've bought themselves a sainthood by declaring that they were friends with the Prophet, by declaring that they were 100 years old, by declaring that they were among the best humans who ever lived. That's how it works. That's how it works. It's much more logical, right?
Okay.
The guy is talking about the best humans who ever Lived. He's talking about a generation. So this key word, generation, I'll read you the whole sentence. They are the best generation that ever lived, okay? When someone uses this terminology of a generation that is the best generation that ever lived, it means that they are a salafist, okay? They are dirty. That's how we recognize them. It's a little word like that. It lets you know that the guy is a Salafist in the sense that salafists claim to be from an older generation. That's exactly what he's doing. They claim to be from an older generation. They've decreed in a completely arbitrary way that certain generations were, as he himself says, and I quote him after the prophets, the best humans that have ever lived, okay? So they want to be like those humans, okay? They say, well, we ask Allah to make us follow their voice. But what was their voice? Well, their voice, you just have to open the history books, you know, you just have to open Ibn Khatib. You just have to open Ibna. You just have to open the classics. I mean, Tabari, all that. And we see. What was the voice of these people? The voice of these people was terrorism.
Okay?
It's not very complicated, okay? Instead of teaching children, Instead of teaching children about Muslims, Muslim families, mosques, schools. Instead of teaching children that. Listen, in the history of Islam, we have had an almost unbroken chain of bad government. We have a chain of dictators, torturers, and all that, who have, each time, who have sought to buy themselves a sanctity by creating hadiths, by practically founding an entire religious heritage to their glory, practically making Sunni Islam more of a political fact than a religion, while at the same time fighting, not even openly, all those who were close to the Prophet and who are called to account, instead of telling our children that, no, we say the opposite. Uh, we tell them, uh, we are going all in on this. This. This discourse created by these people, in fact. So, uh, I'll give you an example, just a very simple example. He says they all became governors and so on. Well, I'll take a governor. I'll take a governor. I'll take Abda. Abda.
Okay?
Abdan. He's a man who is described here in the book.
Okay?
Abda IBN Saad Ibn Sal is someone who is highly regarded among the Salafists, for example, who is part of his friends or his Amit, to use the mistake they make all the time. He is part of the Anah of the Prophet. And he became. I know that this makes your ears ache, but mine too, my Sahaba makes my ears ache. So he was part of the loves of the Prophet and became a governor. A governor of what? The governor of Egypt, Sorry, of the people. So he's going to see what kind of guy he was, huh? They were pious. They were what he says himself. Pray to God. Pray to him. Oh, well, I'm going to follow up on reading the Quran here. I'm going to follow up on that one. Read the Quran. So Abdullah IBN Saad Ibn Sal wrote the Quran under the dictation of the Prophet. Okay, which Qurans? So a quick aside. Which Qurans were later burned by the super rightly guided Caliph Atman? He piled up the Qurans, he set them on fire, huh? Today, people who do that are there to condemn them to death, huh? Among the Sunnis, they are very perverse. While the Caliph who burned them, what do they say about him? The burning of the Quran's written under the personal dictation of the Prophet and validated by the Prophet. He burned them. There you have it. We are about 20 years after the death of the Prophet. 1000 lights. That's it. That's all. Oh, God. May God be pleased with him. Huh? That's it. They say, look. Why he always puts r. Look, I'll show you. No, I'll show you. In the English version, Look. Every time, every time, every time that this terrorist, as the Shiites say, the cursor writes the word sahaba. Look at what's in brackets. He puts a sort of ra.
Oh, okay.
There are two words there. And there's raw. Ra. There's another one there, see? Ra. And what does that actually mean? It means. It means. And he says, uh, may Allah be pleased with them always. Okay, So I was telling you, that man Ibn Affan, as they say, may Allah be pleased with him, burned the Qurans dictated by the Prophet. And recently they found one in England that escaped. Because when this Caliph asked people to bring them their Quran, knowing the type of character, some guessed what he was going to do with it, and so they didn't give it to him. And probably one of these copies ended up with the. Among the English, at least. The English are not bad. They respect. They respect historical works, they respect old documents, they respect traces and all that. They didn't burn them. Don't worry, they'll be well preserved. So about that, I wanted to show you Verse996. Verse996. For those who read Arabic. What does it say? I'll read it to you in Arabic, even if you are pleased with them. Allah is not pleased with perverse people. Every time he speaks, he says that Allah is pleased with them, that Allah is pleased with them. He believes that by forcing, by forcing. He believes that they forced God to please these people by repeating, repeating like parrots. That God is pleased with them, pleased with them, pleased with them. By using this terminology for, for perverts and all that. He believes that God will we. Let me tell you. Well, honestly, there are so many Sunnis who say that that I'm finally going to. Okay, so I'm going back to our friend, huh? I'm going back to one of the Sahabas, one of the AMU who was governor of Egypt. So what was his thing? He wrote the Quran based on the dictation of the Prophet. He was one of the Prophet's scholars. So what did he do? He falsified the Quran so thoroughly during dictation. Okay, that's why I told you I'm going to go back to reading the Quran. This is how he did the Quran. He falsified the Quran, okay? He wrote. And then when the Prophet said something at the end of the verse, he modified it with a word close to or equivalent to the synonym.
Okay?
And after what he did, he went and told people, listen, there is no revelation. There's nothing at all. This guy who claims to be a prophet, I write the Quran. He didn't notice any of the errors that I deliberately introduced.
Okay?
Then since the Prophet got angry with him, he fled, he went out, he joined armed gangs and they attacked people, he robbed people and all that. There you go. He became a highwayman. What happened? He was sentenced to death. He was sentenced to death on that basis. A later Uthman, because he was the guy who burned the bodies who became the third caliph Uthman, since he was his half brother, he managed to obtain a pardon for him without any extremism. Hmm. Okay, he obtained a pardon. He got it from the Prophet. So he wasn't. He wasn't killed in the end. And later, when he comes to power and starts putting his family everywhere for his power, what does he do? He parachutes him into governing Egypt. That means he didn't find anyone among all the Muslims who existed at the time. He didn't find anyone worthy of being governor of Egypt except this guy.
Okay?
These are the kinds of people that these half hearted Salafists follow who are completely ignorant of the history of their own religion. They are just obsessed with violence. Sometimes I feel like I'm asking myself the chicken and egg question, you know? Because I can find 13 violent writings by the dozen. Now why do some people follow them and others don't? I feel like there are people who have a propensity for violence, who want to kill, who have a thirst for humanity, who want to kill and die. There's even a theory about that. But hey, I won't tell you today. And they are looking for any resource that can justify their claim that they were going to go back 1400 years. Okay, so I wanted to tell you something. How does he tell the story on this Sunni site? Well, in fact, what is extraordinary is that there is a theory. I have to tell you about it. There is a very interesting theory. What they say. There he was. He was. He was writing for the Prophet. It is written for the Prophet. And what happened is that the devil played with him and he joined the disbelievers. In fact, this theory is very interesting. It is a theory that is used a lot in Sunni Islam. It is what is called a kidad jab. It is the theory of obligation. So they disguise it under another name. They call it kadakadar. And in fact, it is just a purely satanic theory. For in fact to say that ultimately all the crimes I commit, okay, uh, it's not my fault. It's the devil who influenced me. Okay, it's the devil. If the devil hadn't wanted it, or if God hadn't wanted to let the devil act, I wouldn't have done that. So in fact they justified crimes, massacres, killings under this. It's very interesting. And the killings of whom? Well, the killings of the caliphs, of the men of power. You know, it's almost incredible how well founded it is. Where I touch, I find a pillar of submission to the men of power. So I'm just going to give you. Well, no, I'm not going to give you at all. I wanted to start with that, but I think it's a rather complicated theory. Maybe this isn't the time to talk about it. In any case, I'll give you an example. I was in a. I'm not talking about this theory of J and all that. She deserves a video all by herself. I was in a supermarket. I met someone, a Salafist. He knows that I make videos online. He came. Oh yes, I saw your videos. You talk about the sahaba. The Sahaba. The sahaba of the Prophet. And then I couldn't stop him. It's like a radio that was completely stuck. It's a disgrace. Listen to me. Listen. Wait. I'll Explain. No, it's not possible. The Sahaba. Wait, he wasn't violent at all. He's just completely out of his depth regarding these stories about these Sahaba stories. So lots of people, lots of Sunni Muslims. As soon as you talk about companions of the prophets, what do they say? Ah, the Shiites insult the companions of the Prophet. Really? The Shiites insult the companions of the Prophet. So I ask them to bring examples. Because as long as we talk in a vacuum like that, you know where we're going. But if we have examples, it's better. So I ask them to give examples. So they tell you they insult Abu Bakr, okay? They insult Omar, Okay? Who else are they insulting? They insult man. Okay, who are they insulting? Muawer, who are they insulting? Yazid. Wait, we mentioned them. Out of these five, they have a different characteristic. What are these five? These five are caliphs. Ah, One of the friends of the Prophet. No, we have to be precise. We have to say that the Shiites insult the caliphs and I am subject to the Caliphs, despite the fact that he was unjust and all that. We must not insult the caliphs. That's already more honest.
Okay?
It's already more honest than telling me, oh, I insult the friends of the Prophet because let's take the friends of the Prophet. Let's take Amar Yasser, Amran Yasir, a very close friend of the Prophet who was assassinated by the relatives of the Caliph.
Okay?
Who speaks about him? No one.
Okay?
So if you want to become the lawyer of the relatives of the Prophet, the lawyer of the Sahaba, as you call them, go ahead and give you a case. Amar Yasir was assassinated, okay? Or Al Kindi. He was assassinated. Or Abul Rafali. Those are the ones the Shiites respect.
Okay?
When the Shiites talk about themselves, they talk about them with respect. So you say no, but they insult the sahaba. No, the Shiites don't insult all the Sahaba. The Shiites insult the caliphs.
Okay?
The Sahaba.
Okay.
As a Salafist, what do you do? You focus your defense of what you call the Sahaba only on the men in power, on the governors, the sultans, the Walis, etc. And the others who were very sincere, but who did not reach positions, who never held positions of power, who were perhaps not interested in earthly power, and who were persecuted, massacred and all that. You don't care at all. So that's the first point. Secondly, the Shiites do not insult the caliphs. No? They don't insult the caliphs, they curse them. It's different to curse. To curse is to ask God to remove someone from his blessing. Okay, that's cursing. And cursing has a meaning in Islamic jurisprudence. Cursing has a meaning. It has a position. There are rules for cursing.
Okay?
Even the Prophet cursed.
Okay, there you go.
Anyway, I'll leave you. This is just a video that goes in all directions to give you a little access at the very beginning to this issue of what we call the Islam of Sahaba. In fact, the Islam of the Sahaba is nothing more than the Islam of the caliphs, the Islam of people in power, and by extension, it is Sunnism. That's all. So there you have it. And then as soon as someone starts to draw on that, wants to apply the authentic Islam of the Prophet's hamlets, well, they end up with terrorism or schizophrenia. One or the other. One or the other. Okay, my friends, I'll leave you. I'm disgusted by these things.
