This man led by example, and is a credit to the community. This is an example of a good, decent person. He could have turned a blind eye, and left the attacker to the mob.
Shmuel samous and the Jews are behind 9/11, right? And Christians are horrible because of that guy driving the van? Shmuel (in Hebrew)/Samuel - Stop looking for conspiracies and deceptions. He's a good man, and tbh, your cousin as well... If he promotes Islam, fine with me... why not?
Nis Nis I love the English language... it's perhaps the most beautiful one there is. But unfortunately, "soul" isn't such a good translation to the original word in Greek simply meaning "to breath" - by a mortal person(sometimes animals imo such as dogs). So to answer your question - a breathing mortal person with a certain set of values. Bad or good/bad soul or good soul/bad person or a good person. Nothing to do with the later added religious meaning of immortal soul which I really don't believe in. Hope I answered your question.
what a great level headed man. without doubt this man has peace in his sole. 2 wrongs don't make it right. just wish more ppl was like this. then this world would not be in such a mess.
Takes a lot of guts and humanity to protect a person who has just attacked a group of innocents. I don't think I could do what those men did If i'd seen somebody drive intentionally into a crowd.
This is a good man, hopefully some people will see that normal Muslims like him teach their religion in peace. There's too much hate in society but people like him build bridges and not walls.
Hopefully this will get full media attention. Firstly this was a terrorist attack not " a white man in a van". Secondly Muslim leaders showed great integrity and grace. We are one.
We need to come together, as a white British man i just want to say that it is not the citizens fault how the world is, we need to stop hating on each other and fast, because this country is on a big downward spiral and the only way we can live together is stop hating and start to target those who are truly responsible. RIP to the dead man and peace to humanity.
Well I'm sure each side does want to stop "hating". The problem is each side has it's own values and traditions that it wants to keep. It's all well and good to say stop hating when each side wants the other to change. This division in UK society isn't going away anytime soon. I got my popcorn anyway.
Many of us do not belong to either of "each side". Both the militant Islamists and the racist whites want to divide everyone into one side or the other. Along with most people in the country I want nothing to do with either of them.
@trickygoose2 When i said "target those who are truly responsible" i didn't mean either side i meant the politicians that have failed us in the past. If it was up to me i would storm parliament right now and rip them all of the power they DO NOT deserve. The people are paying the price for the LIES of the Government.
1. Terrorism is above all murder. Murder is strictly forbidden in the Qur’an. Qur’an 6:151 says, “and do not kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.” (i.e. murder is forbidden but the death penalty imposed by the state for a crime is permitted). 5:53 says, “… whoso kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.” 2. If the motive for terrorism is religious, it is impermissible in Islamic law. It is forbidden to attempt to impose Islam on other people. The Qur’an says, “There is no compulsion in religion. The right way has become distinct from error.” (-The Cow, 2:256). Note that this verse was revealed in Medina in 622 AD or after and was never abrogated by any other verse of the Quran. Islam’s holy book forbids coercing people into adopting any religion. They have to willingly choose
Imaam has said "all lives are sacred". We should learn from the Muslims. Hate creates hate. We need love and we need to unite against any monsters that come our way!
enough respect to non Muslim naighbours who provided their support to imam we all need to unite and stand together and fight these evil individuals and isis rather then judge and take matter into their hands no one has the right to take anyone's life that's down to god r.i.p to all passed away in London and Manchester attacks may god grant them a place in heaven. ameen
If there is a god and judging by the people who claim they are going to heaven i think i would rather go to hell. That is where all the nice and interesting people will be.
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: لَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of Allah as brothers. It is not lawful for a Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three days.
The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.
This interview was horrible. The press asked some idiotic, illogical questions and repeated others in what can only seem like an attempt to trip the man up. How would he possibly know the cause of death of the deceased victim, or how fast the van was driving? Kudos to the Imam for replying in such a level-headed manner. Very well spoken.
People are arguing if this shows that "all Muslims are caring" or "all Muslims are angry" or whatever.... How about this: as with all people all Muslims are DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER apart that they have the same faith. There might be assholes amongst them and there are great people like this Imam too. How about not trying to generalize to all of them?
This man handled this event stunningly. Not only did he protect the attacker from harm, he also didn't do what most people do when a white person does a crime and blame all white people. This gives me a bit of hope for humanity.
I have so much respect for this man and the muslims that follow his example. In these dangerous times we must all take a lesson from the response of the imam of finsbury park.# I love manchester
Well said. unfortunately, innocent people died in Borough in Westminster in Manchester and in now in Finsbury Park but these terrorists on both ends will not divide us.
Guys I'm muslim but look all white people and more other people are now understanding how it feels how we get accuse of isis now they feel it. PLUS IM NOT HATING ON OTHER RELIGION I RESPECT ALL!!!
The Um Iman all joking a side Well Done for doing the right thing glad to see 2 Muslims being human and stop the other fools from doing something horrible.
why are being surprised by the imams actions. this is what a muslim should do we should always reply hate with kindness. a forgotten sunnah of the prophet
Imam has come out and condemned such complicit actions. If more imams got mainstream media attention like this, then perhaps Islamophobic people will one day come to realize that not all of us are insane barbaric beings.
A very insincere person who done something completely alien to either to him or his "Faith" knowing that this could maybe put his "Faith" in a good light.....He wasted his time......He is as false as they come.
Hate against hate never win but tell me if coexistence among non believers of Islam is posible without having prejudism and division within the teachings of Islam with those who don't follow or agree with it?
I'm sorry what kind of stupid questions are these reporters asking him? It's like they're trying to find a way to make the assailant look a bit better compared to what he did. the man who died, was he frail? Did he use a walking stick? How fast was he driving? Yeah cuz the guy was in the van with him he would know init?! Pathetic. It's so blatantly obvious what those reporters are trying to achieve that it's almost laughable.
Credit where its due, it is unusual that an imam would stop the death of a white man & credit due again for that mosque going some many days without having a hate preacher calling for death to the unbelievers etc...~slow hand clap~
This could be prevented by our Government growing a backbone, forgetting about "political correctness" and tackling the problem head on. People are rightly getting pissed off by the lack of any real action. The radicalised jihadis are walking our streets free despite going to Syria to fight with ISIS. Although this guy's actions are deplorable, it's entirely predicable.
This is why most of the Arab world prefers dictatorship. There seems to be a problem with indivdual leadership skills. The abiility to police one's self and check your own behaviour. These people seem to cry out for the necessity of a leader to guide and show them how to be, in religion and politics. This is why democracy is not for them as they have hailed since the beginning. Some are born leaders, some followers. This seems to be at the core of their existance. "Stop the beating before the media see's us as demons and not victims after this." Why it took one man to tell them that is beyond me. Sadly why we are in the state we are globally.
In real life, people understand the difference between Muslims and Jihadists. Just like we understand the difference between Trump and the thing the tv accuses him of being.
This man led by example, and is a credit to the community. This is an example of a good, decent person. He could have turned a blind eye, and left the attacker to the mob.
LOL!
I'm an atheist, not interested in religion BUT THATS ONE BEAUTIFUL SOUL!
Ron S yeh he is a good guy dude
Ron S I think he's lying !!
I don't believe a word he said.
Shmuel samous and the Jews are behind 9/11, right? And Christians are horrible because of that guy driving the van?
Shmuel (in Hebrew)/Samuel - Stop looking for conspiracies and deceptions. He's a good man, and tbh, your cousin as well... If he promotes Islam, fine with me... why not?

Nothing to do with the later added religious meaning of immortal soul which I really don't believe in. Hope I answered your question.
The imaam was correct in what he did.
He's got my respect.
imam and his brothers are the good guys here
what a great level headed man. without doubt this man has peace in his sole. 2 wrongs don't make it right. just wish more ppl was like this. then this world would not be in such a mess.
needtlc, yeah in the sole of his shoe right. This man is practicing tequiya... aka he is lying to infidels because islam
It not just terrorists that are the problem in the world it's racists and whites who behave so disgusting
Kudos to the Imam and his brothers for stepping in. understandable response from locals tbh, but again kudos for the restraint.

they know that if they killed him it would make Islam like bad, not that its good any way
Takes a lot of guts and humanity to protect a person who has just attacked a group of innocents.
I don't think I could do what those men did If i'd seen somebody drive intentionally into a crowd.
We want more people like this to give example of what Islam is!
Abdurahman Haji. Agreed we need MUCH more. but in their countries, not OURS.
what example? how to do taqiya to further islams lies
Mr motivator I think it means deception
Abdurahman Haji, Well said.
Abdurahman Haji or christian lol
It's Nice to see a kind and sincere human being amongst all this bizzare chaos going on. well done sir
This is a good man, hopefully some people will see that normal Muslims like him teach their religion in peace. There's too much hate in society but people like him build bridges and not walls.
Benji B-Side u made my day
Benji B-Side IT DEPENDS HOW THE SOCIETY SEES ISLAM
Hopefully this will get full media attention. Firstly this was a terrorist attack not " a white man in a van". Secondly Muslim leaders showed great integrity and grace. We are one.
What a load of bollocks!
Yes! David.
Exactly!
100 per cent agreed, people have lived side by side in UK for a long time and we cannot let hate win
Thanks brother

@Mark the polok meaning?
I'm sure the moslems in Iraq,afghanistan, Yemen, syria, Somalia, Libya say the same. have I missed out anywhere we've interfered with? asshole

samia zuber suprised no white american replied to this comment yet
samia zuber This is the truth
That's a man.
I wish people would understand the difference between people who just follow a religion and extremists who takes religion in a wrong turn.
a wrong turn ? the recruitment happen under their noses inside mosques
JAMES DEL CARMEN, Or wilful misinterpretation of teachings.
Won't happen as long as Tommy robinson and his minions are about
This is a man of Allah/god
One or the other
Imaam has said "all lives are sacred".
We should learn from the Muslims.
Hate creates hate.
We need love and we need to unite against any monsters that come our way!
exactly 👌
We should learn from Muslims? Most of the rest of the world already knows that all lives are sacred. We're all waiting for Islam to catch up.
Hamish Baxter sub human dog
Don't Lie ummm? Islam promotes sexism and rape.
how does islam promote sexism when it tells women to dress modestly??
There are good people and bad people, who cares what religion people are?
Haggis Eater I do
but when isis attacks we blame the whole religion am i right?
Muslims blame us for the crusades the idiots
azraaell that’s lies u blame Islam for isis when Isis literally goes against the teaching of the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad (SAW)
This is honestly the first time in quite a while i've seen a comment section not full of people spreading hate. Makes a nice change.
enough respect to non Muslim naighbours who provided their support to imam we all need to unite and stand together and fight these evil individuals and isis rather then judge and take matter into their hands no one has the right to take anyone's life that's down to god r.i.p to all passed away in London and Manchester attacks may god grant them a place in heaven. ameen
If there is a god and judging by the people who claim they are going to heaven i think i would rather go to hell. That is where all the nice and interesting people will be.
The Imam actually saved the man's life. We can't imagine what the mob will do to the assailant if the Imam didn't stop them.
Masha Allah the Imam is so handsome and humble. Salaam from Indonesia.
A truly godly act to counter violence.
Inspirational. Well done guys.
my first impression was "oh great another Muslim" but this time it was white guy
Mashalla u did great Bengali/Pakistani Muslim I'm bengali
My thought and prayers for the dead and the victims #FinsburyParkLoveAndUnity
A truely peaceful guy.
Let's just all get along; condemn affliction on others and strive to integrate and live peacefully. InshaAllah
He was protecting him because we are a peaceful religion and we don't want anyone getting hurt
+Tommy Rocket the quran is the book of hate.
what about all the girls who are mutilated in name of islam?
wolverine1981pl are u mentally correct??? That's a CULTURAL PRACTICE, not Islam.
+Yaasss J Their god was described as having sex with a 9 year old that's not cultural practice that's straight out of the quran.
Vitycam init
am i the only one tha
t can hear him say "uhh" but mashallah greate man
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَهْجُرَ أَخَاهُ فَوْقَ ثَلَاثٍ
Do not hate each other, do not envy each other, do not turn away from each other, but rather be servants of Allah as brothers. It is not lawful for a Muslim to boycott his brother for more than three days.
When i first read this title, i was so confused as to why he was praised. Now i understand and 100% Agree
he did the right thing.
in Islam it is not allowed to take law into your own hands and Muslims are to abide by the law of the land we live in.
Muslims have this habit of talking like they're reading from a book. Must be all the hours of memorizing the Quran
Can anyone find this imam doing a khutba online he has good character mashallah
There should be a tighter law against bad drivers.
there is still hope I see. for all.
That is what u call a true Muslim. Hats off to him.
The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.
Not sure the crowd was in the wrong.
Sounds like the system will not deal with the killer in as efficient a manner.
This imam did the right thing. This man needs to be held accountable for his actions.
Sorry but I'm not fooled by this act.
I find it strange that a truck driven into a crowd did not kill anyone
This interview was horrible. The press asked some idiotic, illogical questions and repeated others in what can only seem like an attempt to trip the man up.
How would he possibly know the cause of death of the deceased victim, or how fast the van was driving? Kudos to the Imam for replying in such a level-headed manner. Very well spoken.
people should respect other religions pray Allah will help Muslims
People are arguing if this shows that "all Muslims are caring" or "all Muslims are angry" or whatever.... How about this: as with all people all Muslims are DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER apart that they have the same faith. There might be assholes amongst them and there are great people like this Imam too. How about not trying to generalize to all of them?
maszlagma as long as they look and act different from us they will be generalized
maszlagma, Probably the most common sense comment ever, Well said.
This man handled this event stunningly. Not only did he protect the attacker from harm, he also didn't do what most people do when a white person does a crime and blame all white people. This gives me a bit of hope for humanity.
Is this the imam that hosted all of those hate speakers?
He should get a Blue Peter Badge for hypocrisy. Didn't he previously encourage his followers to commit acts of terrorism against non Muslims?
Justice is not just Revenge.
It's difficult to believe what they say............I would rather wait for the independent investigation to be completed
I have so much respect for this man and the muslims that follow his example. In these dangerous times we must all take a lesson from the response of the imam of finsbury park.# I love manchester
Well said. unfortunately, innocent people died in Borough in Westminster in Manchester and in now in Finsbury Park but these terrorists on both ends will not divide us.
isis is not muslim the poeple have to understand that they only using name of islaam the words islaam there is no isis
Guys I'm muslim but look all white people and more other people are now understanding how it feels how we get accuse of isis now they feel it. PLUS IM NOT HATING ON OTHER RELIGION I RESPECT ALL!!!
xXFeralArtsXx mee m8
James Buchanan it doesnt get dumber than u i guess
Zobida ma religion is all a myth no matter what one
GhostModz
The Um Iman all joking a side Well Done for doing the right thing glad to see 2 Muslims being human and stop the other fools from doing something horrible.
what a lovely lovely imam he gets all my respect and duas.Just goes to show that islam is not about hate.
We know he's not being a terrorist alright.
this is Britain, British culture
must come first.
im glad to see there is more love than haterate in the comment section.
I fear something bad is going to happen in the future.
its good to see a iman leading a good example
why are being surprised by the imams actions. this is what a muslim should do we should always reply hate with kindness. a forgotten sunnah of the prophet
Those who give muslims bad image.Learn this Islam lead by example.
oh what a hero
first video about a terror attack where i dont see people criticising Muslims. What the imam did is real islam
my respect to the Imam
Imam has come out and condemned such complicit actions. If more imams got mainstream media attention like this, then perhaps Islamophobic people will one day come to realize that not all of us are insane barbaric beings.
A very insincere person who done something completely alien to either to him or his "Faith" knowing that this could maybe put his "Faith" in a good light.....He wasted his time......He is as false as they come.
Accident? I think the brother means Incident because this terror attack was far from an accident
The Imaan referred to the incident as "accident" 0:13. Was it?
Taqqiya
Godzilla McDolan educate yourself on Islam, please.
What I want to know is who is going round radicalising white vans?
He only stopped them since it wouldn't look peaceful to kill even a killer. These things deserved this. Should've rented a big car.
I've seen him yesterday in the east London mosque
Hate against hate never win but tell me if coexistence among non believers of Islam is posible without having prejudism and division within the teachings of Islam with those who don't follow or agree with it?
Imam praised for protecting attacker - from the peaceful muslims... hahaha
hahahahhaa i am a muslim your comment made my day lol
Don't be Christianophobic and Racist this guy did right
He says 'uhhh' and 'ummm' alot.
Is it not a normal thing to do for any citizen???
I'm sorry what kind of stupid questions are these reporters asking him? It's like they're trying to find a way to make the assailant look a bit better compared to what he did. the man who died, was he frail? Did he use a walking stick?
How fast was he driving? Yeah cuz the guy was in the van with him he would know init?! Pathetic. It's so blatantly obvious what those reporters are trying to achieve that it's almost laughable.
They should of let them have him.
Bless allah for making me not living in london
He had to protect him because they would of killed him, nice people my arse.
typical,they all try to beat him up instead of just restraining him
a good man for a change
he DEFINITELY did the right thing... ; )
Its Neo from the Matrix dressed as a muslim
the good do not fight back and we always walk away
Long live Darren osburne
The man was beat and stabed on the neck.. this is a joke.. about 6 people kicking him on the face,
Nice Imam.
Before 1000?
Credit where its due, it is unusual that an imam would stop the death of a white man & credit due again for that mosque going some many days without having a hate preacher calling for death to the unbelievers etc...~slow hand clap~

what goes around comes around

"mild mannered" it doesn't look like it they tried to kill the attacker
Of course it is.
