  1. This is a no brainer. I'm not American. However, what I'm hearing, Americans only have two parties to vote for because the majority has been led to think to vote for either red or blue. This is the result of over two centuries of brainwashing by political propaganda driven by corporate funding to promote two party only electoral system.

  2. Voting in modern western societies requires surrendering ones sovereignty on Paper in ink to secular states ideals

    " We have " the Caliphate , we need to
    Implement and follow our own

  3. Does he say it doesn't matter who you vote as long as your attentions are right? I don't agree. Of course your attentions need to be right. But you also need to be smart. I think the Muslim community should have had a common strategy. I don't think Trump is going to tolerate any Palestine supporters. Kamela would have allowed activism and might have been open to conversation.

  4. I would agree that whoever can end the oppression, brutality, genocide and carnage in Gaza, Lebanon, of freedom fighters, Iran leadership killings and extra judicial killings there, should be the one we should vote for. In the US unlike Australia compulsory voting is not a thing so one can always refrain from voting – I also know that any contestant who keeps harping on abortion blah blah blah especially the unspeakable third trimester abortions will be last on my list of preferences. Voting in the west which supports a hedonistic life which promotes promiscuous laws which go against Allah's laws should be avoided – I know many Muslims simply do not exercise their franchise in the west – I couldn't blame them.

  5. The point that must be made clear is that the "beast" you are referring to in your lecture is the capitalist system that is tearing our ummah apart. This entire system is responsible for the bloodshed within our community. Participating in this system- by voting for any presidential candidate—is misguided, as the only system a Muslim should recognize is the one that Allah (swt) has prescribed for us to implement and follow.

    By now, every Muslim should be aware that as long as we are not working towards the re-establishment of the Islamic system in our lands—lands now divided by artificial borders drawn by our enemies—we will remain a humiliated ummah. Our standard is the word of Allah, not choosing the lesser of two evils. Our focus must be on re-establishing the Islamic state as ordained by Allah, not the distorted version presented by Western-backed puppets that falsely portray themselves as an Islamic state.

    I understand your point, but it is your responsibility, Sheikh, to proclaim Islam with clarity and as it is intended, without weakening or glossing over this message.

  6. vote, don't bet. ur choosing someone that is vital to ur existence. I rather u vote in a community or write in the wiggles but know why rather than vote and u have no idea and ur not looking out for ur best interest. there's 7 registered parties in usa govt. it's not a 2 party system. the media lies every minute of the day

  7. I didn’t watch the video, but I wouldn’t take advice who to vote for from much people. Only if I know them personally and understand their views. And being told to vote for a candidate that is sure to lose isn’t very good advice imo.

  8. I don’t like the title
    How could you include Jill and Cornel with Biden and Harris??
    Please change the title, Jill and cornel, should not be quoted as any part of evil
    even Trump should not be included in the lesser of evil, give him a chance to show us how he is a force for good since he claimed it himself

  9. Everyone has the right to vote for who they want to. It is a private matter. It is no one’s business. And in America I was brought up to respect the voting process and to do my civil duty and who I vote for does not destroy families and friendships. It should be respected on all sides.
