This immigrant is FIGHTING against US-hating youth

America has historically been viewed by immigrants as a place where freedom and prosperity await them — but for some reason, American youth don’t see it the same way.

Faisal Saeed Al Mutar, the founder of Ideas Beyond Borders, sits down with Dave Rubin to discuss why that is and why he’s actually quite fond of American values himself.

Mutar tells Rubin that when he first moved to America, he originally believed “that people would appreciate the values” that he used to fight for in Iraq.

“And now 10 years later, I think that I was wrong,” he says.

His issue is not with the country itself, but rather those who try to speak on behalf of those they claim are victims. “And that pisses me off,” he tells Rubin.

“We need to figure out a way to make them realize what they are taking for granted,” he adds.

While Mutar takes issue with the attitude of many Americans, he refuses to let that dim his own love for the country.

“I loved this country even before I came here,” he tells Rubin.

Mutar’s non-profit, Ideas Beyond Borders, focuses on spreading American values worldwide.

“My goal is to bring those values into the region that I came from,” he says, “which I think are the reason why thousands and hundreds of thousands of people are prosperous — are the values that are found in America. Which I think our values are spreading.”

“If America turns against America,” he continues, “I think that these values are so worth defending. So I think that spreading the values of freedom is itself an idea.”

Mutar believes that unlike any other country, America was founded on important ideals, but the American people are turning against those ideals.

“I think that the people, those who have lived under prosperity for a long time, and that’s one of the main contradictions, is that they start turning against ideas that made them prosperous,” he says.
