2:55 pm
it's just my brain to calibrate what i want to ask you because it would be very different if you were born into a muslim to than if you marry me in this and so i don't know. me there. grew up in arkansas and the first thing i learned about islam was in the sixth grade social studies class and learned about world culture and i learned that in the middle east all the women were property and walk two steps behind the men and then in seventh grade we learned about world religions and then after every chapter of my teacher would say i was in public school but my teacher would say and they're going to hell and because they're not christian they don't believe in jesus and so when we got to islam it was. it was muhammad is over give me. seriously so in college i started meeting people who were middle eastern exchange students and i was and still am
2:56 pm
a minister. and an elite would go up to them and tell them how awful they were that they beat their wives and they didn't believe in jesus so i was trying to convert them to christianity and they would explain to me well no that's not what islam says i mean some people are bad to women but islam is and and we do believe in jesus in fact we have an entire chapter on the mother of jesus of how he was born and all of his miracles so then i started learning more about islam and the more i studied it the more i liked it and it spoke to me. before that you're a christian now. that's amazing that's an easy testimony. and for me i didn't change religions i expanded on my understanding of my relationship with god isn't eliminating state you. know very important profit and teacher in islam. because what's fascinating
2:57 pm
is here sits two individuals from two totally different walks of life i'm a guy that was a dumb jock from long island new york whose dad was a public school teacher and football coach i grew up on a friday night lights fighting every weekend drunk. and yet there's things i know about your face now. and things you know about my face and the things you know about your faith based on the fact that you know things about my faith and yet. you choose. to trust just the truly is just interpretation a lot just means god in arabic just like a law is not the god of the christian if you read the koran it's all the same prophets i mean look at abraham and absent the same god everybody so they got the same ask right so the almighty. is the same father. only called according to the most the same god that we. i don't believe that god had
2:58 pm
a child and that jesus was a miracle birth but that did not make him these eight the sunday times a child of god he more than he made the rest of us that we're all children of god. and then put it being the same entity yes we believe it's the same entity the same profits this isn't even the same story just with some details changed. you know i bet you were a lot more similar than we realize as well stephen is being schooled on the second largest religion in the world. max is well. hello yes because. my man like him he's not a lincoln. my dad was a i five and i five. but the american dream is still alive i i don't know what to say about that honestly because it's just american dream did so to me subject and
2:59 pm
honestly my parents. were. going to give me an education and to them i suppose i. did and america i feel is still you know went off truly but you know things are changing. just says you know the u.s. is prospering and so on are countries and third world countries are slowly becoming more and more you know. to tell logically develop yes exactly and so with things i doubt honestly i feel like you know the world is a lot more. you know how small a lot more potential no matter where you go. you're in arizona you're running for the federal state see correct the u.s. senate you're running for the u.s. senate. where are you now in your journey of empowering women i have been on that journey of empowering women a very long time when i became
3:00 pm
a civil rights and social justice advocate. here in arizona basically i was running organizations going around the state telling people you know about misinformation about muslims or bringing groups together to work on civil rights issues and i think that that's very empowering to have a woman in leadership in a woman taking the lead then you know i decided to you know run for u.s. senate and so for me feel bad that one is just that i have the. personal presence to do what i can do and that i'm willing to do when and i'm not asking for permission and i'm not waiting for that your rope. and then soon is giving that same thought process that when it came with those folks still back in arkansas that the two themselves. but i'm ok with asking for permission little jay with them i'm not going to judge somebody that's not the same place in life that i'm at the summit yeah humans are i don't know i think they're dumb dogs in the wake up and i look to the.
