00:00:00 The speaker starts off by talking about how he used to be a teacher, and how he would start every lesson by discussing liberalism's "basic history," "comparison," and "judgment" principles. He goes on to talk about how the "epistemological basis" of liberalism is based on the "first principles of liberalism," which are "everything is broken down to basic parts." The speaker then talks about the "hedonistic principle," which is that "morality should be premised on pleasure." He finishes the talk by talking about how, based on these principles, liberalism should be based on "building castles on thin air."
00:05:00 The video discusses the origins and tenets of liberalism, which is based on the idea that humans should maximize pleasure and minimize pain. Atheism, which is the belief that there is no god, has led to a decline in the use of the term "equal" in liberal terminology. The discussion turns to the Bible, which defines equality in terms of the ability of all humans to survive and reproduce.
00:10:00 Liberal thought began in England in the 17th century, and philosopher John Locke contributed to the debate around the extent to which government should limit its power. In 1689, the Bill of Rights was written to protect important rights such as life and property.

00:20:00 The video discusses the liberal view of human rights and how they differ from the view of certain religious people. The liberal view is that so long as you don't harm anyone else, you can do whatever you want. One example given is that people can have incestuous relationships as long as no harm is done. The secondary explanation given for why incest is illegal is that it is something which is "born gay". However, despite this seemingly clear definition, many people continue to argue about what is and is not natural.
00:25:00 The speaker discusses the ideas of human rights and traditionalist Islam. He says that human rights are not universal and that they were first referred to as "natural rights" by those such as Jeremy Bentham. He talks about how human rights are being used to colonize and spread liberalism by the sword. In the after break, the speaker will talk about some of the most controversial case studies which involve the penal code of Islam.
00:30:00 This lecture discusses liberalism and its mythology. The state of nature is said to be a hypothetical, pre-government time where people fought each other. Liberal theory would suggest that there was a sovereign, representative government which people were contracted to.
00:35:00 The author discusses the liberal perspective on the idea of a social contract, which is the idea that human beings entered into a contract with a sovereign figure to stop the chaos and anarchy of the state of nature. The author argues that this story is fake, and that the social contract was never required in the first place. He goes on to say that, for Muslims, there is a contract with Allah where all humans are contracted to Him.
00:40:00 In this video, Imam Muhammad Hamza discusses the relevance of the liberal theory of government and apostasy. According to Imam Muhammad Hamza, under the principles of liberalism, there can be a law which allows for someone to be killed for apostasy. This is in opposition to human rights, as it removes the individual from the protection of the law. However, this understanding of apostasy is based on a social contract, and is therefore justified in the eyes of liberalism.
00:45:00 The video discusses liberal religion and its relation to apostasy laws in different countries, pointing out that such laws are not necessarily against liberalism. John Locke and Emmanuel Kant are cited as liberal thinkers who believe such laws are not against liberalism.
00:50:00 This video discusses the case of two children killed by a drone attack in Yemen because the American government were afraid that their father, Rahman al-Awhlaki, would make them into radicals. Al-Awhlaki was an Islamic scholar and critic of the American government.
00:55:00 The speaker discusses the difference between liberalism and islam, noting that while both ideologies have principles that can be applied in the real world, liberalism has a "perceived epistemological upper hand" due to its seemingly scientific explanations of secular ideology. The speaker also points out that human rights are a concept that is impossible to actualize, and that those who preach liberalism often don't actually believe in it. Finally, the speaker provides a critique of liberalism that points out its lack of solutions for the problems faced by Muslims in liberal states.

01:05:00 Emmanuel Kant and John Locke were two thinkers who were critical of the arguments for God's existence, but did not believe that they were atheists. Kant believed that the only way to reconcile religious belief with reason was through the principle of regularity, while Locke believed that the government should protect religious minorities. Muslims should be subject to the law of whichever land they're in, just as any other minority group should be. This would help to create a more peaceful community, while still upholding liberal values.
01:10:00 The author discusses some epistemology paradoxes, including the "rock-heavier-than-God" paradox. He then discusses an internalist and externalist answer to the paradox, and concludes that either answer is unsatisfactory. He asks the audience how they would answer the paradox, and offers his own answer.
01:15:00 The presenter discusses how liberalism has little to offer in comparison to Islam, and argues that there are many examples of successful, peaceful and healthy communities in Islam. He goes on to say that the lack of good practices in liberal countries is due to a number of factors, including different civilizations' success based on factors such as military success, geopolitics, and natural resources. The presenter concludes that liberalism is not as black and white as many people think, and that Islam has many examples of successful civilizations.
01:20:00 The author discusses the industrial revolution and the role coal played in it, noting that there are many contributing factors that cannot be simply correlated. He then asks how to handle the increasing fear of Muslims, which he believes is a product of dehumanization. He recommends that Muslims reach out to other communities and engage in dialogue.
01:25:00 In this video, an Islamic scholar discusses the compatibility of Islam and human rights. He points out that different things should be treated equally, and that the Islamic concept of motherhood is unique. He also discusses how the conversation around human rights can be turned around by asking questions.
01:30:00 The speaker discusses the idea that there should be equality despite differences, and how questioning the question can be a powerful way to influence a narrative. They suggest that formulating questions and putting oneself in the right places is one of the best ways to achieve this.
01:35:00 The speaker discusses how liberals tend to be pro-choice and pro-liberty, but they lack a strong pro-life stance. The speaker goes on to say that there is scope for cooperation between pro-life and pro-liberty groups, but that the main reason pro-life groups are not as vocal about abortion is because they are too busy looking at the death of children caused by foreign policy.
01:40:00 This YouTube video provides a brief explanation of the difference between Islamic morality and liberal morality. The video argues that, while Islamic morality may be based on objective principles, it is difficult to prove its existence on first principles, making it difficult to argue for its validity. In contrast, liberal morality is subjective and based on personal opinions.
01:45:00 This video discusses the idea of objective morality, which is a concept that has been challenged by many philosophers. Emmanuel Kant was one of the few philosophers to believe in this idea, and he found it difficult to create a mechanism for it. However, many people believe in this concept and believe that it can be proven mechanically.
