- On the final day of the "Islam: Left Wing or Right Wing" conference (3rd Feb 2023), Abdullah Al-Andalusi presented findings from MDI's 7 month investigative report, titled "THE UBC MSA INQUIRY (2023)". The findings of the report exonerated the UBC Muslims Students' Association and its executives from extensive public slander, alerted Muslims to the Kufr that was being spread under the guise of Islam, and educated Muslims on how to both identify and refute tactics employed by individuals who are compromised by Left-wing ideologies. The report is a case study that is to be used to educate Muslims across the globe inshaAllah.

Brother Andalusi and Hijab need to be invited to the next PBD podcast.
I agree
that would be a bomb
Don't forget Hamza Tzortzis!
What's the point?
@@bilalafzal7442 why wouldn't there be.
Looking forward to watching this and whilst i have not seen it all yet, ive always thought us Muslims are centrists in a western paradigm. Left on healthcare and education but right on family values and religion etc anyway Andalusi is a champion so thanks for the video.
Left on healthcare and the education lol! Bro they call abortion and cutting off kids body parts healthcare. And we Muslim are fighting the education system of the left because they want to teach lgbtq!
MashaAllah, may Allah reward your work. This MSA case study is very helpful in guiding Muslim organisations around the Western world through the process of “divorce” from their leftist partners.
Time and time again we Muslims have been humiliated by trying to seek “awliya” and validation outside of Islam. We must develop the confidence and capacity to stand with uncompromising integrity, even when this decision may leave us seemingly isolated.
Unfortunately the “pragmatists” from among us repeatedly miscalculate their equations of “maslahah” and make dodgy compromises.
Downloaded. Will watch tomorrow, InshaAllah.
I can listen to ustad Abdullah continuesly without getting bored and obviously getting the benefits. May Allah preserve you amin
Great work
MASHALLAH

We have work to do, us Somalis. Though I am not denying a lot of the things you said here about Somalis, know that Somali secrets are plenty, I caution you to not generalize. One secret, We say Arabs look like us not we look like Arabs. It is an insult to be called an Arab in certain areas of Somalia. A lot of people don’t know this. Insha Allah, one day, objective (researched truths rather than subjective reports of individual Somali people) Somali history will be presented to the world. The civil war had done a number on us.
The Sonali are a cool bunch. May Allah preserve them upon the Haaq.
Whoever that buffoon is who wrote that critical theory nonsense about Somali history is ignominious and no nothing, they’re just slave who’s just licking the vomit and boots 🥾 of their masters. Whoever they are they using western lens and ideology to engage and critique land that has zero comparability to it both ideologically or historical context.
Interesting, it's cool for some to be part of victim valorisation example black African victimhood class, which is a part of neo Marxist ideologies. Some see Arabs as white adjacent and one can't be associated with such people in a world were class consciousness is prevalent.
Stop your nonsense nationalism. Somali are cushtic ,Bantu and arab the biggest tribe in Somalia is an arab if you don't. We are proud to be all these three groups
@@osmansaid4601 don’t we love arguments. I will discuss once your tone and choice of words change. Otherwise, the barking orders you opted to use only serve the nationalism idea you are trying to expel
the thumbnail, while funny, might not be the wisest idea for an academic lecture
Tbh the goal of a thumbnail is attract individuals to click on the video. The issue with most academic lectures is that they have thumbnails that are bland, and so few people watch them and are unable to benefit from the content. Given the material covered in the video and the chaos going on in UBC as the lecture makes evident, the thumbnail is actually really fitting. Great Thumbnail Abdullah!
Not going to lie I had no idea this was a lecture so clicked on it out of curiosity cause of the thumbnail. Never had a chance to listen to al Andalusi before and always wanted to. I wouldn't have clicked on the video if the thumbnail was him standing in front of the white board.
I thought the thumbnail was funny and had to click on it. 😊
Umberto Eco's features of Ur-Fascism:
*1. The first feature of Ur-Fascism is the cult of tradition.*
Traditionalism is of course much older than fascism. Not only was it typical of counterrevolutionary Catholic thought after the French revolution, but is was born in the late Hellenistic era, as a reaction to classical Greek rationalism. In the Mediterranean basin, people of different religions (most of the faiths indulgently accepted by the Roman pantheon) started dreaming of a revelation received at the dawn of human history. This revelation, according to the traditionalist mystique, had remained for a long time concealed under the veil of forgotten languages -- in Egyptian hieroglyphs, in the Celtic runes, in the scrolls of the little-known religions of Asia.
This new culture had to be syncretistic. Syncretism is not only, as the dictionary says, "the combination of different forms of belief or practice;" such a combination must tolerate contradictions. Each of the original messages contains a sliver of wisdom, and although they seem to say different or incompatible things, they all are nevertheless alluding, allegorically, to the same primeval truth.
As a consequence, there can be no advancement of learning. Truth already has been spelled out once and for all, and we can only keep interpreting its obscure message.
If you browse in the shelves that, in American bookstores, are labeled New Age, you can find there even Saint Augustine, who, as far as I know, was not a fascist. But combining Saint Augustine and Stonehenge -- that is a symptom of Ur-Fascism.
*2. Traditionalism implies the rejection of modernism.*
Both Fascists and Nazis worshipped technology, while traditionalist thinkers usually reject it as a negation of traditional spiritual values. However, even though Nazism was proud of its industrial achievements, its praise of modernism was only the surface of an ideology based upon blood and earth (Blut und Boden). The rejection of the modern world was disguised as a rebuttal of the capitalistic way of life. The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.
*3. Irrationalism also depends on the cult of action for action's sake.*
Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation. Therefore culture is suspect insofar as it is identified with critical attitudes. Distrust of the intellectual world has always been a symptom of Ur-Fascism, from Hermann Goering's fondness for a phrase from a Hanns Johst play ("When I hear the word 'culture' I reach for my gun") to the frequent use of such expressions as "degenerate intellectuals," "eggheads," "effete snobs," and "universities are nests of reds." The official Fascist intellectuals were mainly engaged in attacking modern culture and the liberal intelligentsia for having betrayed traditional values.
*4. The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism.*
In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge. For Ur-Fascism, disagreement is treason.
*5. Besides, disagreement is a sign of diversity.*
Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference. The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.
*6. Ur-Fascism derives from individual or social frustration.*
That is why one of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups. In our time, when the old "proletarians" are becoming petty bourgeois (and the lumpen are largely excluded from the political scene), the fascism of tomorrow will find its audience in this new majority.
*7. To people who feel deprived of a clear social identity, Ur-Fascism says that their only privilege is the most common one, to be born in the same country.*
This is the origin of nationalism. Besides, the only ones who can provide an identity to the nation are its enemies. Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged. The easiest way to solve the plot is the appeal to xenophobia. But the plot must also come from the inside: Jews are usually the best target because they have the advantage of being at the same time inside and outside. In the United States, a prominent instance of the plot obsession is to be found in Pat Robertson's The New World Order, but, as we have recently seen, there are many others.
*8. The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies.*
When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers of Ur-Fascism must also be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.
*9. For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.*
Thus pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. It is bad because life is permanent warfare. This, however, brings about an Armageddon complex. Since enemies have to be defeated, there must be a final battle, after which the movement will have control of the world. But such "final solutions" implies a further era of peace, a Golden Age, which contradicts the principle of permanent war. No fascist leader has ever succeeded in solving this predicament.
*10. Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology, insofar as it is fundamentally aristocratic, and aristocratic and militaristic elitism cruelly implies contempt for the weak.*
Ur-Fascism can only advocate a popular elitism. Every citizen belongs to the best people in the world, the members or the party are the best among the citizens, every citizen can (or ought to) become a member of the party. But there cannot be patricians without plebeians. In fact, the Leader, knowing that his power was not delegated to him democratically but was conquered by force, also knows that his force is based upon the weakness of the masses; they are so weak as to need and deserve a ruler.
*11. In such a perspective everybody is educated to become a hero.*
In every mythology the hero is an exceptional being, but in Ur-Fascist ideology heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death. It is not by chance that a motto of the Spanish Falangists was Viva la Muerte ("Long Live Death!"). In nonfascist societies, the lay public is told that death is unpleasant but must be faced with dignity; believers are told that it is the painful way to reach a supernatural happiness. By contrast, the Ur-Fascist hero craves heroic death, advertised as the best reward for a heroic life. The Ur-Fascist hero is impatient to die. In his impatience, he more frequently sends other people to death.
*12. Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters.*
This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality). Since even sex is a difficult game to play, the Ur-Fascist hero tends to play with weapons -- doing so becomes an ersatz phallic exercise.
*13. Ur-Fascism is based upon a selective populism, a qualitative populism, one might say.*
In a democracy, the citizens have individual rights, but the citizens in their entirety have a political impact only from a quantitative point of view -- one follows the decisions of the majority. For Ur-Fascism, however, individuals as individuals have no rights, and the People is conceived as a quality, a monolithic entity expressing the Common Will. Since no large quantity of human beings can have a common will, the Leader pretends to be their interpreter. Having lost their power of delegation, citizens do not act; they are only called on to play the role of the People. Thus the People is only a theatrical fiction. There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.
Because of its qualitative populism, Ur-Fascism must be against "rotten" parliamentary governments. Wherever a politician casts doubt on the legitimacy of a parliament because it no longer represents the Voice of the People, we can smell Ur-Fascism.
*14. Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak.*
Newspeak was invented by Orwell, in Nineteen Eighty-Four, as the official language of what he called Ingsoc, English Socialism. But elements of Ur-Fascism are common to different forms of dictatorship. All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning. But we must be ready to identify other kinds of Newspeak, even if they take the apparently innocent form of a popular talk show.
