1. 12:21Other voice Now, the protests that you saw on October 8th, were they mostly leftists or were they
2. 12:26Other voice m- uh, some Muslims?
3. 12:28I would say, from what I can tell, uh, uh, they're definitely leftists 'cause there
4. 12:33were, uh, uh, um, there were a lot of white people there.
5. 12:36Other voice Yeah. Right.
6. 12:38And but there were Muslims as well, and you can, you can kinda, uh, uh, tell that.
7. 12:44I think sort of it's an interesting, um, relationship these two
8. 12:51groups have, what's called the, you know, the Red-Green Alliance, and-

10. 12:56... uh, it's very real. Um, it is, uh, the, the

18. 13:41continuing allies.
19. 13:43Other voice Okay.
20. 13:44A-a-and Islam will win that battle.
