00:00.000 --> 00:02.000
How important is your religion?

00:02.000 --> 00:03.000
It's very important to me.

00:03.000 --> 00:05.000
It plays a major part of my life.

00:05.000 --> 00:06.000
I'm Sunni Muslim,

00:06.000 --> 00:08.000
pray five times a day,

00:08.000 --> 00:10.000
you know what I'm saying?

00:10.000 --> 00:12.000
I do as much as I can do as far as my religion

00:12.000 --> 00:14.000
and I rock out, you know?

00:14.000 --> 00:17.000
When the whole 9-11 thing happened,

00:17.000 --> 00:20.000
and you have a Muslim kind of look to you,

00:20.000 --> 00:23.000
did you feel any sort of

00:23.000 --> 00:25.000
people looking at you funny

00:25.000 --> 00:27.000
or treating you a certain kind of way during that time?

00:27.000 --> 00:29.000
I felt it a little bit.

00:29.000 --> 00:32.000
I was very major because I was popping at the time.

00:32.000 --> 00:33.000
A lot of people knew who I was

00:33.000 --> 00:36.000
so they wasn't really concerned about me trying to blow the plane up

00:36.000 --> 00:38.000
because they knew I got a career.

00:38.000 --> 00:40.000
So, you know what I'm saying?

00:40.000 --> 00:42.000
But I definitely felt it a little bit, you know?

00:42.000 --> 00:45.000
How do you really feel about the whole state of affairs right now?

00:45.000 --> 00:46.000
Because you could really,

00:46.000 --> 00:50.000
I really feel like we're having a religious war right now in the world.

00:50.000 --> 00:52.000
It's not a religious war.

00:52.000 --> 00:54.000
As far as from my side,

00:54.000 --> 00:56.000
as far as the religion,

00:56.000 --> 00:57.000
a lot of things going on,

00:57.000 --> 01:00.000
like the things that's going on in India and everything.

01:00.000 --> 01:03.000
And it's my responsibility as a Muslim to let y'all know out there

01:03.000 --> 01:05.000
that these things are not from Islam.

01:05.000 --> 01:08.000
Like, these things are from people that are extremists

01:08.000 --> 01:11.000
and they're interpreting the religion the wrong way

01:11.000 --> 01:12.000
and they're doing the wrong things.

01:12.000 --> 01:14.000
Like, you're not supposed to kill innocent people.

01:14.000 --> 01:17.000
You're not supposed to kill yourself for none of that.

01:17.000 --> 01:19.000
Where they're getting it from is,

01:19.000 --> 01:20.000
in Islam,

01:20.000 --> 01:22.000
if you're fighting a holy war

01:22.000 --> 01:25.000
and you die for the sake of God,

01:25.000 --> 01:26.000
then you're a martyr.

01:26.000 --> 01:29.000
But the war and the things that they're fighting for

01:29.000 --> 01:30.000
is not a holy war.

01:30.000 --> 01:31.000
Like, you know what I'm saying?

01:31.000 --> 01:32.000
It's crazy.

01:32.000 --> 01:34.000
And it's not from Islam.

01:34.000 --> 01:35.000
Amen.
