I'm mixing love!
2
PROOP.
3
Oh Oh,
4
oh, oh, oh my goodness.
5
Wait, wait, wait, is this Onion or SNL?
6
This is the Daily Wire YouTube channel.
7
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
8
I'm crying.
9
I'm literally, I'm literally, look.
10
I'm literally crying.
11
My friends said this to me.
12
They said, Yusuf, you have to watch this for your channel.
13
You have to watch it.
14
And I said, okay, I've got to just watch it.
15
I got to react to it.
16
And wow, wow, I cannot believe this.
17
I can't believe this is real.
18
This is the best laugh I had all year.
19
Walla, walla is the best laugh I've had all year.
20
Okay, why am I laughing so hard?
21
Let me break this down for you.
22
Why this is so ridiculously funny.
23
First of all, we have the ISIS or Daesh, is what we call an Arabic flag flying.
24
It shows Lawton University in Virginia.
25
We hear the Adhan, which is the call for a prayer.
26
You know, you commonly hear it in Arab countries five times a day, okay?
27
Muslims know, hey, it's time to come pray.
28
So it's plain in Virginia, which, you know, makes no sense.
29
Hilariously, the first thing these people do is they pull out their prayer rug and immediately go to the prostate position, okay?
30
This is so ridiculously stupid.
31
This proves to you that the people who made this have no idea about how Islam works.
32
They have no idea about muslims they didn't consult one muslim
33
they didn't even google what is proper muslim they didn't even
34
put it in ai what is muslim prayer what does it look like how does it work okay
35
and that's how you know this is pure propaganda pure
36
and this is from dale by the way this is from daily wire
37
which all their hosts are white supremacists anti-everything except their version of their religion it's pretty crazy
38
because they have a catholic they have different types of Christianity, they have a pro-Zionist Jew.
39
I don't even understand how they haven't fought each other yet, but they have come together to make Islam the enemy.
40
The oldest trick in the book, Orientalism, modern Orientalism.
41
So what do I mean by it's all wrong?
42
The call for prayer, the Adhan, happens.
43
This is to alert you that you have to go pray.
44
When you go pray, you're supposed to do it at a mosque.
45
Everybody goes to the masjid to pray.
46
Second of all, before you pray, you have to do wudu.
47
You have to do the ablution.
48
You have to do a special washing ritual.
49
You have to be super clean in order to enter the masjid, the mosque, and in order to pray in the first place.
50
You hear the adhan and immediately go to prayer?
51
No, that's not how it works.
52
It's not how it works at all.
53
The first thing these people do is they go down into
54
what's called the prostrate position that's not the first move in the prayer.
55
The first move you're standing there and you start the prayer standing.
56
Even if they were to start the prayer and they're religious Muslims, they wouldn't go immediately to the down position.
57
I see it all the time in Orientalist media, in movies showcasing Muslims.
58
They always do this kneeling position.
59
I don't know, but this kneeling, like the position, the prostrate position is like evil to them because they always have to show it.
60
That's how you know
61
that there's muslims praying according to their propaganda this is all kinds of wrong let's see what happens next
62
ah yeah infidels in their next position they get up
63
and they put their hands up like this is like completely wrong okay you don't you don't do
64
that they have no idea what they're doing okay
65
and it says run hide fight infidels
66
so it's making it out to be like the muslims are
67
coming to america they're coming to take over they're coming to call everyone an infidel run hide fight another thing
68
that is so ridiculous
69
and stupid about this is they have the daesh flag flying
70
nobody likes the islamic state nobody okay every person i've met
71
i've been to multiple arab countries i've been to turkey nobody
72
likes them everybody hates them don't take my word for it the pew research center
73
went to Arab countries and they asked people about ISIS.
74
How do they feel about them?
75
Okay.
76
In Lebanon, 100% of people said had an unfavorable opinion about them.
77
100%, 100%.
78
What survey do you have where 100% of people surveyed is 100%?
79
In Israel, 97% hate them.
80
In Jordan, 94%.
81
Palestinian territory, 84%.
82
The vast majority of Arabs and Arab countries have an unfavorable opinion about ISIS.
83
Nobody likes them.
84
Next thing, who are the main victims of ISIS? Who?
85
It's other Muslims.
86
Other Muslims are the main victims of their terroristic activities.
87
They target every other Muslim who doesn't prescribe to their super extremist views of Islam.
88
Literally, they have a radical ideology.
89
They target Shiais.
90
They target Sufis.
91
They target government officials they hurt
92
and kill other muslims that's the vast majority of their victims their victims are not americans they're not going
93
and attacking coming into america it's other arabs other muslims who are the main victims
94
and finally part of the modern orientalist playbook is to always tell this narrative
95
that the muslims want to take over they want to take over the world they're going to come to america
96
and this video is showing this, that it's in Virginia.
97
The Adhan is playing as if that's something bad.
98
People just immediately go into prayer like, oh, this is how America is going to be.
99
This is stoking the flames of fear into conservative Americans.
100
As you know, Daily Wire, their main audience is conservatives.
101
And in order to have a powerful narrative, you have to have what?
102
You have to have the bad guy.
103
You have to have the person who is evil to them, who's going to take away their religion and their freedoms.
104
They have to make up all of this crap.
105
They have to have an enemy so you can rally behind them.
106
And their enemy is Islam.
107
It's insane.
108
It's insane.
109
If any of this, even a little bit of this was true in the past 100 years, okay, you tell me.
110
In the past 100 years, one Muslim majority country has been going around invading other lands and conquesting and being colonial. Who?
111
Nobody.
112
The Muslims are staying in their countries.
113
They're thriving.
114
They're having wonderful lives.
115
This is a completely fabricated, cartoonish narrative that they have to instill into people so that they can give them money.
116
All right.
117
They want the money.
118
They want the support we got to make a boogeyman out of the Muslims.
119
I mean, this is just comedy to me.
120
If we're talking about ISIS-Daesh right here, I think Muslims would agree with this to be like, wait, we don't want this either.
121
They're really making a positive campaign for Muslims too.
122
Maybe that's their play here.
123
They just want to get more Muslims to watch Daily Wire.
124
So that's why they're making this.
125
Like, you know, 99% of Muslims would agree.
126
We don't want this either.
127
They're painting this brush that all Muslims are the same.
128
Look at this ISIS.
129
It's the same as all Muslims.
130
Every Muslim I've ever met has been wonderful, beautiful, peaceful.
131
They just want to have a happy life like the majority of people in the world.
132
99% of people just want to have an easy life somehow way that they can raise their family and be happy.
133
All right.
134
This is just insane.
135
Oh, not so garbage propaganda.
136
Daily Wire, thank you for the best laugh of the year.
137
What do you think of this trash that they're playing what are your thoughts?
138
I want to hear about them
Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
This video is a goldmine for shadowspeak practice—its conversational tone, emotional delivery, and mix of casual and critical language make it perfect for honing real-world speaking skills. The speaker reacts spontaneously, using phrases like “I’m literally crying” and “wow, wow” that mirror how we talk in daily life. By shadow speaking along, you’ll learn to match natural intonation, pace, and emphasis, which are key to sounding fluent. Plus, the topic sparks discussion, so you can practice explaining complex ideas (like identifying propaganda) in simple terms—great for building confidence in debates or casual chats.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Let’s break down 3 key structures to boost your English:
- “This proves to you that…”: Use this to connect evidence to a conclusion. Example: “This video proves to you that context matters in communication.”
- “They have no idea about… they didn’t…”: Repeating “they” creates rhythm and emphasis. Try: “He has no idea about cooking—he didn’t even check the recipe!”
- “The oldest trick in the book”: A common idiom for a predictable strategy. Say: “Blaming the new guy is the oldest trick in the book at work.”
Practice these in shadow speech to make them feel natural.
Common Pronunciation Traps
Watch out for these tricky words in the video:
- “Adhan”: Pronounced “uh-DHAHN” (not “AY-dhan”). Listen for the soft “uh” start and emphasized “DHAHN” to avoid mispronunciation.
- “Wudu”: Sounds like “WOO-doo” (not “WUH-doo”). The long “oo” sound is key here.
- “Orientalism”: Break it into “OR-ee-en-TAL-ism”—don’t rush the “en” part. The speaker’s casual pace can make this word blend, so shadowspeak slowly to master it.
Learning English with videos like this helps you tackle real accents and tricky terms, making shadowspeaks a fun way to level up your skills. Ready to start? Hit play and shadow along—you’ll be surprised how fast you improve!
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
