What is the truth of the matter?

Omar told him a story before his son went to bed: Simba and his father Mufasa were found by a vulture, sent by the villain Scar to hunt them down. The big, bad vulture lunged at them. Simba picked up the stone and threw it at Big Bird. But it hits Mufasa, the smart, strong Mufasa, Simba's dad, as it hits Mufasa, the smart, strong Mufasa. The stone accidentally hit its head and it died. Simba has to make a choice: either tell his friends the truth and cause confusion, or keep it a secret and lead the fight against Scar. How will he choose?
This question can give a glimpse into the attitude of Britain, a country that has enjoyed hundreds of years of peace at home, towards war, violence, and revolution: those big events that bring disaster to others are meaningless. Maybe it's just because I was cut off playing mahjong, maybe the war was just started because of a toothache when I caught up with a leading figure, or I was laughed at while reading a book in the library, or maybe it needed some lies to cover up an accident. What the film is saying is: A canon that is out of step with the times and closed to worldly life will become confused and unclear in the face of the clutter of modern life. Jihad may be a group of confused and unwilling people to take advantage of this to try to get out of the chaos of the countermeasures.
Highlights: 1. Hassan: This is a spiritual jihad, a gesture. Barry: Did the Prophet Muhammad pose? He shattered pagan idols. (starts the car and drives towards the wall) Is that a gesture? boom!
2. (Faisal was blown away when he was carrying hydrogen peroxide across the fence of the sheep pen) He went to heaven. He lives forever. He blew up infrastructure. He blew up a sheep. Brilliantly blew up that sheep. - Sheep, especially the firstborn lamb, are sacrificed in Judaism. In Judaism, sacrifice can not only indicate to God that people never forget God, but also that their sins are taken away through the bloody sacrifice of burnt offerings, and they are closer to God in purity. Sheep become a kind of intermediary to approach God. Hence the saying that "he blew up infrastructure construction". Perhaps in Omar's view: there are no innocent people in this world, and there is no other way to approach the eternal paradise. This is the rhetoric of terrorism to overcome the problem of violent attacks against civilians and to get rid of guilt!

    Omar: Barry, shut up, mate! 'Cause I tell ya, your little brain cell might go off now and again, but if you hands even go to move, if you try to set up the Islamic State of Tinsley again, going to university lectures, opening your big mouth, buying some more silver nitrate from Amazon... I'm gonna rip your plugs out!
