the Sunnah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I disown every Muslim who settles among the mushrikeen.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2645; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.

I have more in common with Tez, than I ever will with Boris Johnson.... Facts.

[@shirleybooth2824]

Absolutely Brilliant Tez, I agree 100% that people need to be educated correctly about the religion of Islam and Muslim people. You truly have a Great way of getting it across I couldn't stop laughing. Marshallah

[@25pence]

No we don't we ain't America, most British don't follow a god we see the truth, or most Christians just follow the happiness comfort of not being alone instead of the religion. the prophet of Muslims mohammed married a kid or so it is written, the Christian God committed geneside on the whole world in a huge flood because of some crimes. Who in their right mind needs to follow these. And the reason Britain tries to make it hard for anybody who believes in other god to preach because the land was built on Christianity, the national anthem is 'God save our queen' I respect any person who respects the land and so do alot of people now, there is full Muslim community's that never hit the news because they are good community's. But you guys only pick up on the bad 20 thousand people not the 40million good people that are happy with diversity

[@MohammedAli-1]

Respect to you Shirley

[@trahobaskarabas8042]

[@kalalanda7383]

Tez, what a touching performance. Absolutely correct. Sending out the truth through humour is genius! Bless your dear mum for making you the intelligent, strong, british , muslim man you are today. Stay blessed and keep going. Peace and love.

[@dionoraferrantino8172]

I love this guy! I 1st saw him on Russ Howard's show; then started searching for his stuff. GREAT delivery!

[@ziahamm1603]

First time seeing his stand up after seeing him in Man Like Mobeen. Pleasantly surprised by how articulate and well spoken he comes across and I like that his comedy is intertwined with some serious undertones backed up with reason too. Kudos to the guy

[@kuksybee]

This has to be one of the best videos I've seen today. I actually peed myself when Tez said, "O..... M..... A...." This should have been called TezTalks 😂😄

[@TigerPrawn_]

He has a Radio 4 show called exactly that :D

[@kuksybee]

cx45830 Really??? How dare I miss out? 😁😂 thanks for telling me. I thought I was up to date on everyone from The Fringe. His delivery is right on target. Awesome.

[@KushnSads]

Tez Ilyas...thanks for being a bloody legend!

[@iqbalmohammed50]

This was absolutely amazing, Tez. Well done.

[@sanjaythakkar3376]

Brilliant. So well spoken. Touching and funny in equal measure

[@y0u5uf]

So Damn good.. Love it!! This is how I've felt for ages.. I was growing up in England way before you guys.. And when Racism was nothing to do with religion, but the colour of your skin.. Irony is it doesn't matter what religion you are.. The Hindu's Sikh's and anyone brown get lobbed in together..

[@salimpatel4620]

Inteliigent guy some really thoughtful observations

[@muneebsiddiqui9345]

Moral of the story.. educate yourself and stop jumping on the bandwagon.

[@nahreallybro464]

Love this ❤️ spreading a honest messege in these days of hate. Islam is not a bad religion

[@goldencordholistichealingr4492]

Incredible powerful speech, filled with wisdom, humor, and also love. We have terrible problems with closed mindedness and downright hate in America and I pray we get past it. It makes me sick, it’s not what we were founded on. (And I’m white and Christian.)

[@pawpals01]

[@YA-hm5zy]

When he describes being in service station and other such places, I could really relate. I love being British and British values mean the world to me. But I happen to be Asian and therefore have never fully felt like I belong and mainly because I feel like when I am in the football stadium or the shopping centre, I feel in a very subtle way that I'm different and it's difficult to explain unless you have been in a brown persons shoes. I don't have a massive beard and I wear jeans and all the rest. But I always feel uneasy about going to places where I might be one of the only brown faces. Having said that, British white people are generally amazing.

[@Baboonfromdatoon]

'I love being British' 'I happen to be Asian' Britain is in Europe, not Asia...

[@asmaaeziz1341]

Benjamin Crump How do you call people who are British citizens and from Asian background? Is there any name for them in your language?

[@sarha375]

David Charles Francis Topham de Vere Beauclerk ummm no British is nationality, English is ethnicity.... hence why in passports it says “national’ no matter what you look like.

[@piratesmileprod6533]

what you're feeling is quite normal. peoples natural instincts allow them to understand they're not apart of the "tribe" so to speak. I'm an English guy who lived in japan for 10+ years, i learned to speak the language fluently and engaged in the customs and culture of the Japanese people. I always felt like an outsider no matter what; they even had their own subtle ways of letting me know that too. i learned to live with the fact it's human nature to have an in group preference.

[@jonathantaylor7979]

Very educational and thought provoking

[@lifestylewithrani6517]

great way to make such a solid point ….well done Tez

[@sintaamami5112]

It will open the world's people mind about Muslim..

[@25pence]

It really won't, would a man speaking about Christianity change people's mind about the religion in Syria? Pritty sure people like that get killed over their all the time. Just be happy with diversity we don't wanna bring religion into it that's when wars start. Why can't we all just do good for the people in the community and on the land and mind everyone else's business?

My friend Majeed hoped to have Hindi as his home language until his daughter started school. He learned a lesson from her and now speaks English at home. She wants to be like her school pals, not like us. Us oldies are too interested in the negatives......our younger generation have moved on and left us couch potatoes burning up watching TV.

[@gabriellewarburton7961]

am a very much british person and proud of it. I think the main the reason for people thinking they arent integrating enough comes from, they dont speak english in a public space. This seems to be an issue with a lot of people and when you dont know or understand whats been said then its

[@abdulwasay99]

Isn't that the case when most British people go on their holidays to countries around the world? They're not speaking their language, Britain isn't the main country in the world

[@stardust5397]

I’m in my early 60s & forty odd years ago I assumed the Asian and white populations of Blackburn would become far more integrated. I’ve worked with Asians & taught young Asians & Whites in Blackburn & it saddens me that two young communities at College have become ever more separate whilst areas of Blackburn have become almost exclusively Asian. It’s not what I wanted to see but as you say it ‘takes two to tango ‘ & the Asian community has made very little effort to move outside of their own communities ; whilst at the same time ‘ white flight’ takes place as locals perceive they are becoming the minority in a given area. I will not begin to deny that overt racism has taken place against Muslims & is deplorable. Likewise after splitting with my Son his partner & my 6 year old Granddaughter moved into a small new social housing development of small 1/2 bedroom townhouses in a predominantly Muslim area. She’s in her late 20s but has a ‘baby face ‘ that could pass for teens . Whilst walking to and fro school and the shops with my granddaughter she is regularly abused by groups of young Asian men as they are unhappy that several single parent families have been homes in+this new development and they point her out as a ‘school age single mum with loose morales’ into although the words are far more graphic and foul than that. I find it even more disturbing that on occasion this abuse is heard by their elders who often mix outside their front doors on early summer evenings & it goes without challenge even though a young child is involved. So, maybe it’s payback time for the abuse Asians have received in the past & proving that sections of each community are capable of behaving just as hatefully as the other . I’ve urged her to move but her attitude is it’s a lovely little house with garden, near school and shops so why should I let morons like that bother me!
