Fascinating listen.

While I will agree with Al-Gharbi 100% regarding "symbolic capitalists" and the "woke" cultural movements as being those of the elite that definitely employ mystification to obscure and conceal while manipulating understanding using complex and vague language to keep people from fully grasping the underlying truth of what is happening and what they are doing (exploiting other people's pain for financial gain more often than not, almost always in my opinion). I also find it ironic that he is a believer in Islam. It is understandable given his described path to that point as he obviously needs to believe in a narrative or his coping with life is difficult. Islam definitely does not think of itself as a "new" faith but the absolute and final revelation. Anyone who can agree with that from the text, can recognize the threat of violence undergirding the demand for respect of that fact by Muslims. Otherwise they tend to employ violence rather quickly throughout the world despite the cafeteria style buffet picking and choosing that certain Muslims employ to justify violence or irreconcilable issues such as the Prophet Mohammed was betrothed to his favorite wife Aisha when she was 6 and took her as a wife when she was 9. I am sure there is a mystification explanation.
