Fully agree. A future politician with Ethics and principles. I'd vote for him. Yes and I'm a Christian who supports the Australian Greens. Our country could do with a few more politicians like him as our two old political Parties (Labor and Liberal/ Nationals) are going the way of the American ones; corrupted by the big $ lobby groups!
Not especially; he hides from criticism from within his own party, doesn't prepare appropriately for speaking engagements, and is overly moderate. Dr Stein should have chosen a running mate who was serious.
As one of the non-religious fans of the channel, I'm grateful for your presentation of a great interview with Dr. Ware. I'm considering voting Green this year, since it's one of the few ballot options that doesn't require me to become a moral monster by giving tacit approval to genocide. Thanks.
I used to watch Islamic content as an atheist for the intellectual exercise in hearing and reconciling others' perspectives with my own. Became Muslim a couple years later Alhamdulillah. Welcome to see you here Steve
It is so inspiring to know that so many non muslims are also considering to vote Green because of the Genocide. GP has an approval rating of 90% among the muslims. May I ask you if you can estimate how many more non muslims are out there who are considering to vote for the Green Party for the first time?
@@ArtiZetl i have been campaigning, block walking, door knocking, visiting various communities, so 90% muslim rating is my personal observation. But I am curious about non muslim approval rating
I'm GLAD to have voted for Jill Stein & Butch Ware! Prof. Ware is NOT merely intelligent; he's WISE, beyond his years. I consider him one of the smartest, if not THE smartest politician today. PEACE for the PEOPLE on our PLANET !
I'm not Muslim, but I'm a spiritual person of color (mixed race) and I appreciate that Dr. Ware acknowledges that the metaphysical is important in radical movements just as the material is. His arguments against labeling himself as a "leftist" or "Marxist" hits very close. This brother is a breath of fresh air in this toxic political landscape. Love him! Thanks for having him and Dr. Stein on!
I too, recalled reading Malcolm X's autobiography; not in a single night, but in a couple of days. Impressive how Malcolm X went from thinking white would NEVER mix with black (except with cream in coffee), to his experiencing an epiphany when joining virtually ALL RACES in Mecca, circling the Kaaba. And that had a profound effect on ME, a white man.
100%. No candidates ever talk about the unknown or spiritual things (no, I'm NOT talking about religion)...this is the marked difference - we want leaders with heart, brains and spiritual understandings - love this man and Jill Stein...vote for the only true anti-war party! I would if I didn't live in New Zealand - I wish we had such a choice here...
What are you voting FOR, that actually has a reasonable prospect of reality? I see what you are protesting voting against. Our freedom, our cause won’t be furthered by protest votes . Protest , nominal candidates have never ended a war anywhere
@@ros6860and when both major party candidates promise unconditional support for genocide your vote is equally meaningless if ending genocidal murder is your goal. Any real political choice has been taken from the American population long ago and you are deep in magical thinking if you imagine differently.
the problem with your view is it does not and adds nothing and really is the equivalent of throwing up your hands and leaving those Palestinians to their fate . There have been conflicts before in the area and ceasefires that ended conflict and killing . I believe with good reason that Kamala can get in there and work for a ceasefire , working through UN. Jill Stein is totally useless and you know it. Shouting genocide , smearing your fellow citizens as supporting genocide is lazy.

He was immediately branded as an "anti-Semite" by the mainstream. He condoned the 10/7/23 rebellion, which, in fact, agrees with the UNITED NATIONS' policy on resisting an occupied state(!) People need to understand the difference between "anti-Semitism" and "anti-Zionist"... the former being a RACIST position, and the latter being a legitimate POLITICAL position. The Greens are WELL more educated and ethical than the duopoly!
There should be no obfuscation when it comes to voting Green for most voters in the current political landscape. For most of us the Green Party is a blessing that allows us to show the Democrats in a cyclical pattern of progress between elections how they need to evolve and what policies they need to adopt. In 2016 it was a holding place for people upset with Hillary, so that in 2018 and 2020 the Democrats knew they had to embrace and compromise on policies being pushed by Bernie. In 2024 it is a holding place for people upset about foreign policy so that in 2026 and 2028 politicians that want to advance their careers speak radically differently about Israel than how it is currently spoken of.
Thank You Thinking Muslims for this interview. Honesty I , like many other Muslims, did not know much about the ideas of Green Party, specially thoughts shared by Prof:Academic! We were voting for Greens only to express our anger at the genocidal administration also knowing well that the other party is not at all different. I sincerely wish for a third party in our political system. Best opportunity now. I am full of hope.
The Christian Mystic, and Muslim sufism for the love of one God, and the true prophetic order, after the prophet Noah great legacy of the rescue and salvation after the great flood.
Why describe yourself as Sufi? We are described as Muslims in the Quran. The Prophet PBUH called himself a Muslim. Why do you and all the people liking your comment need a description different from that of the Quran? (I don't describe my self as Shia, Sunni, Sufi or anything else because these terms are not from the Quran but rather they were just made up later.)
@@NSK-NSK-NSK sufism or tasawuf is islam... its not separate. historically, Islamicaly and Islam's spread is due to this stream of understanding, you can call it what you want .. its good to mention sufism, when a lot of people have misunderstanding. Sufism focuses alot on the inward sciences ...the outward sharia is also important.
@@oz1326 The thing is, the Quran and the life of the Prophet PBUH already give us the perfect balance between the inwards sciences and outwards sharia. The perfect balance already exists without Sufism. So I guess what I'm asking is, if we agree that the Quran and the sunnah are already the perfect balance then what more does Sufism add.
He who votes for Stein/Ware votes for nothing. He has engaged in a protest vote . Faced with what he claims is a genocide , he thought he could best end the war by the indulgence of a protest vote . Pity
Gov. CA, our next POTUS Nominee, I'm with Butch. Brilliant soul in intellect as well as spirit and so keyed in to the crises of our times and all within the historical framework of the richness of global history. I'm so glad the GP found him and i'm even more thrilled he sees us clearly! Welcome and Go We Go!
I love this channel, especially your videos with Drs. Butch Ware and Jill Stein. I'm not Muslim, but I support everything you all do with regard to liberation and justice for all people of color across the world. And, I really appreciate how you teach about Progressive Islam, which is similar to liberation-focused Christianity and Traditional African Religions, with which I'm most familiar. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
@@TheBetterArgumentshow-pb4dy Islam isn’t a monolith, there is such a thing as more progressive branches of islam I don’t know where Butch Ware positions himself but it exists
I'm agnostic; I'm not averse to praying, but I have yet to understand proof that God exists, or proof that God doesn't exist. I believe it's OK to doubt...I haven't made up my mind...but: my mind is still OPEN. And I love Prof. Ware for who he IS.
@@ArtiZetl it is monolith , there are clear guidelines and a clear path that all muslims subscribe to , (u can say not all muslims are good practicing) , if you dont know , dont speak out of ignorance it harms more than it benefits , you can always ask

Wow people like Butch Ware do exist? It’s really so refreshing to know that someone so eloquent and insightful equipped with the true interpretation of Islam is representing Muslims today. Allah O Akbar.
This video makes me mad. It makes me mad that more people don’t know about our brother Butch Ware. Such an intellectual powerhouse, giving all of us a fresh lens on these issues we face today.
⬆️... combined with well founded arguments for how to achieve real solutions to the challenges of our current times,- justice at home and abroad are inseparably intertwined, also with the failures of our colonial past to secure justice and human rights for all fellow human beings! Rudolph Ware really posseses the historical accuracy and moral intelligence to make the world more just and to restore our faith in humanity!
As a Turkish American Muslim and my wife is Catholic, and we both think that not to vote for this election. Until I watched this video , my wife and I were going to vote for a green party to support Dr. Ware
Subhanallah, what a fantastic podcast and discussion. Brother Butch is incredibly charismatic and a powerful speaker, mashallah. May Allah grant him khayr. Ps, nice blazer Jalal bhai.
I am agnostic. That stated, I respect the RIGHT to practice ANY religion. I nonetheless insist that a government which promotes freedom must NOT be theocratic! I'm MORE impressed by the Muslim faith, though. I, too, read Malcolm X's autobiography. I'm a slow reader, it took me two days(!) I was MOST impressed by the fact that Malcolm only thought that black and white would NEVER mix, except when adding cream to coffee(!) Later on, when he went to Mecca, he marveled at all the different races, together, making the circuits around the Kaaba. I believe he experienced an epiphany. He came back to the U.S. a profoundly changed man, with a higher calling.
I’m not an American but for the first time in my life, I wish I was, just long enough to vote Green. These discussions have been so enlightening for me. I’d have espoused the “lesser of two evils” philosophy before. Thank you for introducing me to Professor Ware. Inshallah, I will make it a point to read his works. I’m about to place an order for the biography of Malcolm X which, I’m ashamed to say, I’ve never read before. May Allah guide us all to do what’s right.
Crisp, clear, and comprehensive interview that touches on why Green is the current logical and moral choice. That doesn't mean it is forever, but it could very well be for the foreseeable future. Break the duopoly, break the empire, break the fascism, at home and around the world. Stein Ware 2024 💪🏽🙌🏽👊🏽
Brilliant interview and much better than Mehdi Hassan’s. The Thinking Muslim consistently produces the best interviews that are clear, convincing, and thought provoking. It should be clear to any Muslim as to why we should be voting Green this election cycle. We don’t have to settle for the lesser of two evils; we can choose good this time. 😊
My deepest respect for the mother of Butch Ware for being a smart woman and not trying to subdue the will of her son but rather supporting him. May the Almighty guide us all to the right way🤲⚖️🇵🇸
After watching for 13 months the us politicians speaking on the G4z4 topic, hoping to hear something reasonable, I gave it up, I thought there was not a single straight forward talking politician left in the US. How refreshing is to listen to someone who talks facts and DO actually answer questions. Bravo Butch Ware 👌
I can't say how much I appreciate Butch Ware for speaking truth to power. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting this human and felt so much love and respect from him. He is another real one. I could listen to this man for hours. 💖🖤✊🏻
@@pattydroogan9967 On the MA ballot, Mr. Ware wasn't there (there was another VP listed). I made SURE that in fact Prof. Ware would be counted. I called the Green Party, and they assured me voting for JILL STEIN would cover them both.
@@kraka2oanIneryes I notice that too. I voted Jill Stein anyway. But it was disappointing to not see his name on the ballot. I hope they don’t use it as an excuse.
Brother Butch Ware, who is coming from a Sufi tradition and Brother Shahid Bolsen are the reason my radical revolutionary spirit has been rekindled. “To 'see both sides' of a problem is the surest way to prevent its complete solution. Because there are always more than two sides.” - Idries Shah
Thank you so much Professor Dr.Ware you made my day wonderful speech God bless you and your family . Please keep up your great fight against corruption and genocide ,
This is simply an amazing interview. I will vote for Butch whenever he will run tor any position!! ... How come one be so knowledgeable and can express it so well too! Amazing!
AGREED! I, too would vote for this great professor in ANY political function that SERVES (which is the function of a political position...NOT as a career). Dr. Ware is a GEM, and seems truly ethical, to the bone.
I was always going to vote green but I'm not sure how you can listen to this interview and not vote green. Thank you Jalal for bringing him on and all you've been doing.
I was ecstatic when I learned that Butch joined Jill Stein on the ticket . He's intelligent, educated, and a man for humanity. Joe in PA, 70 years of age, and a 25-year member of the Green Party. Vote for Jill & Butch!
Thanks again to this channel for inviting such eloquent Muslim voices like Prof. Butch Ware and Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam. There is a need to listen more to what such a part of this community has to say. Prof. Butch Ware delivered an intelligent, wise, and passionate message. It convinces me because it is sincerely dedicated to the struggle against (white) supremacy, violent hegemony, social justice, and inclusion. Every empire and colonial outpost will eventually fall. The American Empire is no exception. Historically, the downfall has already started and is accelerating dramatically. I am already a senior citizen. According to realistic scenarios and probability, a significant part of this downgrading process will be completed within my lifetime. As a comparison, it took centuries for the Roman Empire to become history (i.e. until the last remnants of its effective Power Structure were gone). Let us hope, as Prof. Butch Ware expressed, that the USA will be able to find a peaceful and constructive path to re-invent the country for the sake of its people and the rest of the World. Everybody is invited to think for themselves and make the right choice after assessing the current situation in this World (the Dunia). As Prof. Butch Ware rightly mentioned, everyone must ALSO be able to justify their actions in the face of Eternity (what Muslims would maybe name the Achira). I would never subscribe to Genocide, whatever benefits may be provided otherwise.
I refused to vote for biden last election. I love jill stein and appreciate the fieriness that butch ware brings to her campaign, that is one thing the green party has been missing. Dont stop being radical butch ware!
I TRIED to convince people NOT to vote for Biden, because of the fact that he (partially) crafted and PASSED the so-called "Patriot" Act. This was when there was a plethora of democratic candidates. It seemed like a "one-issue" argument. But there were at least a DOZEN other reasons(!) My narrow viewpoint was actually instinctively on point(!)
SO THANKFUL for the opportunity to vote for Jill Stein & her (outstanding) Muslim VP Butch Ware with the GREEN PARTY. On enough ballots to win it & if they get 5% or more of the votes next round they get far more funding. May we vote the greater good, build each other up, nurture Muslim run things in all fields & hop on boards from townships upward iA.. to shining success ameen.

He was immediately branded as an "anti-Semite" by the mainstream. He condoned the 10/7/23 rebellion, which, in fact, agrees with the UNITED NATIONS' policy on resisting an occupied state(!) People need to understand the difference between "anti-Semitism" and "anti-Zionist"... the former being a RACIST position, and the latter being a legitimate POLITICAL position. The Greens are WELL more educated and ethical than the duopoly!
Move here! We need more sane people 🙏
Mashallah, you release this podcast on the 1st of November, and the professor mentions the algerian emir AbdelKader, what a pleasant coincidence.
Nice to hear from this Man...
There should be no obfuscation when it comes to voting Green for most voters in the current political landscape. For most of us the Green Party is a blessing that allows us to show the Democrats in a cyclical pattern of progress between elections how they need to evolve and what policies they need to adopt. In 2016 it was a holding place for people upset with Hillary, so that in 2018 and 2020 the Democrats knew they had to embrace and compromise on policies being pushed by Bernie. In 2024 it is a holding place for people upset about foreign policy so that in 2026 and 2028 politicians that want to advance their careers speak radically differently about Israel than how it is currently spoken of.
Thank you professor Ware. I’m learning so much from you
Love this guy. Great interview.
Jill picked a WINNER.
Thank You Thinking Muslims for this interview. Honesty I , like many other Muslims, did not know much about the ideas of Green Party, specially thoughts shared by Prof:Academic! We were voting for Greens only to express our anger at the genocidal administration also knowing well that the other party is not at all different. I sincerely wish for a third party in our political system. Best opportunity now. I am full of hope.
There are lots of important points in the end of video hope lots of people watch it till the end
I wasn't going to, at first (time constraints...), but I'm GLAD I DID.
Very good interview. Thank you for allowing Dr. Ware the space to share the importance of voting Green in the US
I was waiting for this one. I didn't disappoint.
Highly informative. An excellent interview.
My amazing Sufi brother ❤️ Thankyou for standing up for justice in this time of need
The Christian Mystic, and Muslim sufism for the love of one God, and the true prophetic order, after the prophet Noah great legacy of the rescue and salvation after the great flood.
Why describe yourself as Sufi? We are described as Muslims in the Quran. The Prophet PBUH called himself a Muslim. Why do you and all the people liking your comment need a description different from that of the Quran?
(I don't describe my self as Shia, Sunni, Sufi or anything else because these terms are not from the Quran but rather they were just made up later.)
@@NSK-NSK-NSKok buddy
@@NSK-NSK-NSK sufism or tasawuf is islam... its not separate. historically, Islamicaly and Islam's spread is due to this stream of understanding, you can call it what you want .. its good to mention sufism, when a lot of people have misunderstanding. Sufism focuses alot on the inward sciences ...the outward sharia is also important.
@@oz1326 The thing is, the Quran and the life of the Prophet PBUH already give us the perfect balance between the inwards sciences and outwards sharia. The perfect balance already exists without Sufism. So I guess what I'm asking is, if we agree that the Quran and the sunnah are already the perfect balance then what more does Sufism add.
My family just voted for Jill Stein
💚so Green
Party can get 5% of the popular vote and receive federal & state funding. Break the red/blue duopoly
Butch Ware is amazing. Thank you for having him on your program.
Vote Stein Ware 2024. Vote against war and restore peace.
He who votes for Stein/Ware votes for nothing. He has engaged in a protest vote . Faced with what he claims is a genocide , he thought he could best end the war by the indulgence of a protest vote . Pity
...and...COMMON SENSE(!)
@ common sense is not voting for a 1% to 2% candidates . The progress made through history is never by fringe protest candidates
Vote anti genocide
Vote green
Gov. CA, our next POTUS Nominee, I'm with Butch. Brilliant soul in intellect as well as spirit and so keyed in to the crises of our times and all within the historical framework of the richness of global history. I'm so glad the GP found him and i'm even more thrilled he sees us clearly! Welcome and Go We Go!
Professor Rudolph Ware is WISE, as I've mentioned. I wish him success.
I love this channel, especially your videos with Drs. Butch Ware and Jill Stein. I'm not Muslim, but I support everything you all do with regard to liberation and justice for all people of color across the world. And, I really appreciate how you teach about Progressive Islam, which is similar to liberation-focused Christianity and Traditional African Religions, with which I'm most familiar. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
@@williaml.jeffriesiv3464 glad to have u here , just a small thing, there is nothing called progressive Islam, it's Islam
@@TheBetterArgumentshow-pb4dy
Islam isn’t a monolith, there is such a thing as more progressive branches of islam
I don’t know where Butch Ware positions himself but it exists
I'm agnostic; I'm not averse to praying, but I have yet to understand proof that God exists, or proof that God doesn't exist. I believe it's OK to doubt...I haven't made up my mind...but: my mind is still OPEN. And I love Prof. Ware for who he IS.
@@ArtiZetl it is monolith , there are clear guidelines and a clear path that all muslims subscribe to , (u can say not all muslims are good practicing) , if you dont know , dont speak out of ignorance it harms more than it benefits , you can always ask
@@kraka2oanIner i can help to get u to good resources if you want , u are always welcome to come to our communities , leaarning is open to everyone , dont be shy
Wow people like Butch Ware do exist? It’s really so refreshing to know that someone so eloquent and insightful equipped with the true interpretation of Islam is representing Muslims today. Allah O Akbar.
This video makes me mad. It makes me mad that more people don’t know about our brother Butch Ware. Such an intellectual powerhouse, giving all of us a fresh lens on these issues we face today.
YES! UNDERSTOOD.
Brilliant ideas. Thanks
⬆️... combined with well founded arguments for how to achieve real solutions to the challenges of our current times,- justice at home and abroad are inseparably intertwined, also with the failures of our colonial past to secure justice and human rights for all fellow human beings!
Rudolph Ware really posseses the historical accuracy and moral intelligence to make the world more just and to restore our faith in humanity!
As a Turkish American Muslim and my wife is Catholic, and we both think that not to vote for this election. Until I watched this video , my wife and I were going to vote for a green party to support Dr. Ware
Subhanallah, what a fantastic podcast and discussion. Brother Butch is incredibly charismatic and a powerful speaker, mashallah. May Allah grant him khayr. Ps, nice blazer Jalal bhai.
I am agnostic. That stated, I respect the RIGHT to practice ANY religion. I nonetheless insist that a government which promotes freedom must NOT be theocratic! I'm MORE impressed by the Muslim faith, though. I, too, read Malcolm X's autobiography. I'm a slow reader, it took me two days(!) I was MOST impressed by the fact that Malcolm only thought that black and white would NEVER mix, except when adding cream to coffee(!) Later on, when he went to Mecca, he marveled at all the different races, together, making the circuits around the Kaaba. I believe he experienced an epiphany. He came back to the U.S. a profoundly changed man, with a higher calling.
I,m really happy to know this professor with his Intelectual views
Great interview.
Thank you both.❤
I’m not an American but for the first time in my life, I wish I was, just long enough to vote Green. These discussions have been so enlightening for me. I’d have espoused the “lesser of two evils” philosophy before. Thank you for introducing me to Professor Ware. Inshallah, I will make it a point to read his works. I’m about to place an order for the biography of Malcolm X which, I’m ashamed to say, I’ve never read before. May Allah guide us all to do what’s right.
Crisp, clear, and comprehensive interview that touches on why Green is the current logical and moral choice. That doesn't mean it is forever, but it could very well be for the foreseeable future. Break the duopoly, break the empire, break the fascism, at home and around the world. Stein Ware 2024 💪🏽🙌🏽👊🏽
From Australia. Come here mate, We need thinkers here. Cheers !
Hey...LOVE to Australia !
Totally brilliant.
Brilliant interview and much better than Mehdi Hassan’s. The Thinking Muslim consistently produces the best interviews that are clear, convincing, and thought provoking.
It should be clear to any Muslim as to why we should be voting Green this election cycle. We don’t have to settle for the lesser of two evils; we can choose good this time. 😊
I am interested to see and hear this brother since listening to Sheikh Dr Yasir Qadhi encouraging Muslims to get out and vote.
My deepest respect for the mother of Butch Ware for being a smart woman and not trying to subdue the will of her son but rather supporting him. May the Almighty guide us all to the right way🤲⚖️🇵🇸
Abandon Harris Michigan Wisconsin Pennsylvania Virginia New Hampshire.
I will .....
How many are you. You're insignificant as well as irrelevant.
I could listen to Butch/Bilal Ware speak for hours! Masha'allah
One of the best Interviews I have seen anywhere for a potential leader.
After watching for 13 months the us politicians speaking on the G4z4 topic, hoping to hear something reasonable, I gave it up, I thought there was not a single straight forward talking politician left in the US. How refreshing is to listen to someone who talks facts and DO actually answer questions. Bravo Butch Ware 👌
You have my vote. Will be GC holder soon and will be ready come 2028.
Somehow you noor radiates from your face during this interview. Very pleasant gentleman to look at. Thank you Mr. Ware. God bless you!
I can't say how much I appreciate Butch Ware for speaking truth to power. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting this human and felt so much love and respect from him. He is another real one. I could listen to this man for hours. 💖🖤✊🏻
This is the most intelligent person in politics since JFK and FDR (if not MORE so). ✊💚💚
Just finished it. Thank you for having him. Absolutely amazing 👏 💯
Professor Butch Warr, may Allah grant you success. With Allah willing, you will be one of the reasons for stopping the genocide in Palestine.
On the Balot it will be JILL STEIN For PRESIDENT & RUDOLPH WARE For VICE PRESIDENT.
Have a blessed evening!
@@pattydroogan9967 On the MA ballot, Mr. Ware wasn't there (there was another VP listed). I made SURE that in fact Prof. Ware would be counted. I called the Green Party, and they assured me voting for JILL STEIN would cover them both.
Insha’Allah!
@@kraka2oanIneryes I notice that too. I voted Jill Stein anyway. But it was disappointing to not see his name on the ballot. I hope they don’t use it as an excuse.
Great interview. May Allah grant him victory
A wonderful interview and discussion. As a muslim my vote was Green Party this year thanks to brother Butch Ware.
Brother Butch Ware, who is coming from a Sufi tradition and Brother Shahid Bolsen are the reason my radical revolutionary spirit has been rekindled.
“To 'see both sides' of a problem is the surest way to prevent its complete solution. Because there are always more than two sides.”
- Idries Shah
Rudolph Ware is administering both truths and dares,- as well as a much needed green hope-infusion!
A man with integrity
Thank you so much Professor Dr.Ware you made my day wonderful speech God bless you and your family . Please keep up your great fight against corruption and genocide ,
Butch Ware is a smart man.
Imagine the dumb nuts in Rep & Dem parties against such an intelligent person.
I'm DONE with the dumb-ol' brats AND the repugnant-cons(!) STEIN & WARE, 2024!!
Me and my family will vote for the green psrty.😊
I voted in Florida for Stein/Ware. I did it enthusiastically.
This is simply an amazing interview. I will vote for Butch whenever he will run tor any position!! ... How come one be so knowledgeable and can express it so well too! Amazing!
AGREED! I, too would vote for this great professor in ANY political function that SERVES (which is the function of a political position...NOT as a career). Dr. Ware is a GEM, and seems truly ethical, to the bone.
This Muslim is fully switched on. Worthy of a vote for sure.
Such well spoken and insightful person. Definitely following him from now on. Jazakallah for introducing him to us
I was always going to vote green but I'm not sure how you can listen to this interview and not vote green. Thank you Jalal for bringing him on and all you've been doing.
I was ecstatic when I learned that Butch joined Jill Stein on the ticket . He's intelligent, educated, and a man for humanity. Joe in PA, 70 years of age, and a 25-year member of the Green Party. Vote for Jill & Butch!
I also remember reading the Autobiography of Malcolm X. An unforgettable experience. Time to reread it. Everyone must read! Great interview!!
It's BEYOND inspirational. I'm due to reread it(!) myself.
Great guys !
masha Allah
absolutely greatest interview of this year,thoroughly enjoyed it
Thanks again to this channel for inviting such eloquent Muslim voices like Prof. Butch Ware and Dr. Hassan Abdel Salam. There is a need to listen more to what such a part of this community has to say.
Prof. Butch Ware delivered an intelligent, wise, and passionate message. It convinces me because it is sincerely dedicated to the struggle against (white) supremacy, violent hegemony, social justice, and inclusion.
Every empire and colonial outpost will eventually fall. The American Empire is no exception. Historically, the downfall has already started and is accelerating dramatically. I am already a senior citizen. According to realistic scenarios and probability, a significant part of this downgrading process will be completed within my lifetime. As a comparison, it took centuries for the Roman Empire to become history (i.e. until the last remnants of its effective Power Structure were gone).
Let us hope, as Prof. Butch Ware expressed, that the USA will be able to find a peaceful and constructive path to re-invent the country for the sake of its people and the rest of the World.
Everybody is invited to think for themselves and make the right choice after assessing the current situation in this World (the Dunia). As Prof. Butch Ware rightly mentioned, everyone must ALSO be able to justify their actions in the face of Eternity (what Muslims would maybe name the Achira). I would never subscribe to Genocide, whatever benefits may be provided otherwise.
"We are the Death Star".
❤ Thank you. Very informative and important a little late but that's fine
My VP Ware is sooooooo inspirational - he taps into a spiritual knowledge and shares wisdom which is so badly needed today.
I refused to vote for biden last election. I love jill stein and appreciate the fieriness that butch ware brings to her campaign, that is one thing the green party has been missing. Dont stop being radical butch ware!
I TRIED to convince people NOT to vote for Biden, because of the fact that he (partially) crafted and PASSED the so-called "Patriot" Act. This was when there was a plethora of democratic candidates. It seemed like a "one-issue" argument. But there were at least a DOZEN other reasons(!) My narrow viewpoint was actually instinctively on point(!)
Excellent! will look for more of Prof Ware’s writing, videos..I’ll be praying for the Green Party’s victory ✊✊sending love & support from Malaysia
AMEN BROTHER BUTCH-- you said it perfectly, the people of God are the people who oppose oppression :)
May Allah bless and guide Butch
Fantastic interview ! Thank you Prof Ware.
SO THANKFUL for the opportunity to vote for Jill Stein & her (outstanding) Muslim VP Butch Ware with the GREEN PARTY. On enough ballots to win it & if they get 5% or more of the votes next round they get far more funding. May we vote the greater good, build each other up, nurture Muslim run things in all fields & hop on boards from townships upward iA.. to shining success ameen.
Love this guy. This is probably WHY I am voting for Jill Stein- because of THIS GUY
There is hope to the end of the US Empire - vote Jill Stein !
Wow! I was not expecting that! I think this is now my fav episode of thinking Muslim. Just gone ahead of Sami!
