The Analogy of Iron Mike

Now this may seem like a strange analogy, but for anyone who's a boxing fan, it might make sense. Mike Tyson was the greatest boxer of all time. Now, of course, Muhammad Ali was fast. He was pretty the way he moved. He was an artist in the ring.

But Mike Tyson was the perfect storm of a fighter. He had speed. He had ring knowledge. He had incredible power. He had technique.

He had knowledge of boxes from the past. He had the perfect style. He had the best trainer. He was everything. There hasn't been a boxer like him, and there's unlikely to be a boxer like him.

When he was in his prime, he was unbeatable. No one had a chance. The heavyweight boxing championship belt belonged to Mike Dyson, and no one could take it away from him. Now in, I think, 1992, he was taken out of competition, he was taken out of championship boxing, and thrown in jail in a case that most people have concluded and acknowledged was a frame up. And during that brief period of time when he was in prison, someone else had a chance at the championship.

Other boxers had a chance, and other boxers could talk trash about Mike Tyson. Anyone could say whatever they wanted. They could demonize him. They could say terrible things. But as soon as Mike Tyson got out of prison, he was immediately the champion again.

In fact, that he said he's not looking for the Tyson who fought McGillian matches. There's a combination uppercut by Tyson. Tyson, leaning on, pouring it on, down goes Bruno.

I'm making an analogy to the Muslims because the ummah is the perfect combination of factors that make a nation great, that make an empire great, that make a political system great, an economic system great, a social system great, all of the factors combined together in this ummah to make it a perfect, victorious, unbeatable nation. That's what we always were until very recently. The Islamic empire is one of the most powerful and longest lasting empires in the history of humanity. And then, for all intents and purposes, we were thrown in jail. But just as Mike Tyson was the greatest fighter at the time that he was thrown in prison, he was the greatest fighter when he got out.

Just as we were the greatest and most powerful Ummah and nation and empire that the world has ever seen, we will return to that status again. Because just as Mai Tyson had all of the ingredients to make a perfect fighter, we have all of the ingredients to make a perfect nation.
