BUCHAREST, ROMANIA: Polarizing influencer Andrew Tate recently took part in a conversation with David Sutcliffe, a retired Canadian actor and therapist. During the exchange, Tate elaborated on why he embraced Islam.
Although social media users have often leveled accusations of inconsistency against him, alleging shifts in his opinions, his fan base remains steadfast in their admiration of his interview content. During his chat with Sutcliffe, Andrew Tate also expressed his disdain for feeling emotionally fragmented.
Is Andrew Tate Muslim?
In a video shared on 'X' by the user Tate News, Tate explained his rationale for converting to Islam. Sutcliffe went on to remark that it's intriguing how Tate opted for Islam, mentioning that he perceives it as something strong, though not necessarily harsh.
He described it as distinguishing between right and wrong, much like life's moral distinctions. Tate interjected at this point, commenting that it parallels life where there's a difference between right and wrong.
He observed that this uncertainty is intentional, aiming to puzzle individuals. He appreciated the concept of clear right and wrong, underscoring his choice of Islam due to its firmness. He also stated he's fine with people critiquing his views as bigoted or wrong.
Sutcliffe addressed this aspect and proposed that Tate also chose what he deems as the victorious side. To this, Tate concurred, stating that he indeed considers it the winning side.
However, he clarified that his decision wasn't solely based on its winning status but rather due to the presence of guiding principles. He argued that if a religion or belief system doesn't upset anyone, it loses its essence.
He went on to express a thought-provoking perspective that the current era is unique in history, considering a widespread lack of belief in God. He lamented the emergence of evil, satanism, and moral decline, asserting that people are gradually recognizing the necessity of God.
Tate said, "There's right and wrong in life, all this complete subjectiveness. It's mush. They're trying to create - yeah, it's done on purpose to confuse them. I like the idea of right and wrong."
"Yeah, I chose Islam because it's firm. I have no problem with people sitting with me and saying what you're saying is bigoted or what you're saying is wrong, what you're saying is insensitive," he continued.
"It's completely the winning team. And I didn't choose it because it's the winning team. It's just the winning team because it has principles," he noted.
"You have a religion or a belief system that doesn't offend anybody, then it's not a religious or belief system. It's the first time in human history," Tate said.
He added, "We're testing society without God, and what do we have? We have evil, we have Satanism. We have degeneracy and I think that most people are starting to understand that God is really needed."
