Dan, a very kind response to an individual who has become increasingly dishonest and even threatening. You’re a patient person. It’s interesting that Qadhi claims to be generally likable, while also false-flagging channels and publicly threatening an owner of another channel. That makes his comment about not wanting to be two-faced, two-faced.
@Jason El Bourno upset maybe, but not in the way you think. If it wasn't for knowing about Yasir's, Mo Hijab's and your (if you are indeed Ali Dawah) threats against other people, I'm sure most of us would find you likeable enough and might even imagine enjoying a good laugh and bit of banter on subjects unrelated to Islam (maybe not so Ijaz and Farid as they're quite one-dimensional), so we do actually want see you and other muslims come to Christ, as the only way to your salvation.

@@msmutola682 been there done that. I'm doing Twitter polemics. Even if Dan is not into polemics his work is necessary because Muslims will not do it because in the Quran questioning is prohibited. So we westerners have to do the work for them. As Christians we are called to spread the gospel and do evangelism. Telling the Muslims about their false notion of Islam is part of that.
Yasir Qadhi made a living out of his knowledge about Islam. Now he'd be shutting himself in the foot if he openly shared his academic knowledge fully about it. He's invested too much in the the lie to ditch it like that.
🌟♦️ Hi Daniel, I am Muslim by Identity and well versed with Quran and its Arabic. All I can say is "Thank you". I am following your work for quite sometime and really appreciate that. To muslim scholars I must say that they should be ashamed of themselves for telling a lie to their audiance. Instead of appreciating your work, they are trying degrade you. You are doing phenomenonal work ! Regards,
@Jason El Bourno Hey, Taquiyya "The Traffic", why does a typical Muslim usually throw in multiple laughing emojis when they're frustrated with the truth?
@Nym Grace YQ lost "credibility" among his Islamic community when he painfully admitted the truth about the Islamic standard narrative. He lost credibility among Christians for not standing by that truth. Nevertheless, he should still be commended for attempting to reconcile the Quranic texts with reality-- even though it exploded in his face.
Support him until he take you to the hell of fire. وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ أَرِنَا ٱلَّذَيْنِ أَضَلَّانَا مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ نَجْعَلْهُمَا تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِنَا لِيَكُونَا مِنَ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ -------------------- And those who disbelieved will [then] say, "Our Lord, show us those who misled us of the jinn and men [so] we may put them under our feet that they will be among the lowest." *Quran (**41:29**)*

Wait, wait, wait. Dr. Brubaker does selective interviews and his material is used quite often by Christian apologists, so that means he is non-academic, theologically biased, and "repugnant". Examining the other side, there are various videos of Dr. Qadhi on youtube of him engaging in non-academic religious work (education for the layperson, religious instruction, etc.), he is interviewed by Muslim apologists (like Mohammed Hijab) for the benefit of common Muslims, and his works were (until the "holes in the narrative" gaffe) widely used by Muslim polemicists - but Qadhi is still academically pure and without theological biases? This is either some next level projection, or just pure, unbridled hypocrisy.
Exactly what I was thinking about, hijab who threatens women...... David is harsh when he is presenting facts , but he is honest and n even kind to people who wants to dialogue.
@Jason El Bourno correct! A direct e mail not msrked privat or personal or requested not to be shared. Unlike qadhi who shares peoples private data by doxing and who says onr thing to eestern camers and a DIFFERENT thing behind closed doors in his classes to muslims, some of whom have made that public.
Jason El Bourno I do question your idea of private when Dr Brubaker wrote a public letter (read online) to Dr Qadi, and thus shared the rest of the conversation. Nothing was requested to keep in privacy from Dr Qadi... so...?

Its very very importent!! Thats how we find truth. If islam is true it would stand any and all critqe but it cant even survive the most minor. Unlike Christanity who has been blasted from crtics for 2000 years its still stand and is growing!!

He is panicked. He blurted out something he wishes he had never said. This attack of his is nothing but projections. He should know better, but he is desperate on his attempts to repair the damage they have done.
You're right! Any scholar who has a "Red line" preventing him from following where the truth leads him to the very end is not qualified or deserving to be called a scholar, let alone be awarded a PhD and take the titular "Dr"!
Dr. Daniel, your response itself shows the high calibre of character you have and the respect you give to other people, just continue what you do... We love you and your work Sir...
Qadhi says he has no time for responding to critics but spends almost an hour "smacking down" his critics with ad hominems without actually addressing the issues.
We should credit YQ, Mimi Hijab and Jason El Bourno for helping destroy Islam...they are so good at it! Every time they say or post something, more damage is done!
Like Yasir Qadhi is NOT agenda driven? LOL! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! But that was not a nice letter from Yasir Qadhi. He was lashing out in anger again with more accusations. His life must be miserable.
they have an agenda = ✔ christian have an agenda = ❌ WHO ARE YOU QADHI? and this is not even putting christian element, Mr. Brubaker pointing to the logics, logics is neutral
_'you don't know Arabic' is the first line of defense_ Now I feel comfortable doing critics to ancient texts in aramaic, not having whatsoever familiarity with this language!! Audacious..
@@mohamedfawzy9945 Even linguists have proven that they do not always have good knowledge of Arabic. ua-cam.com/video/MHm1LBBbhHg/v-deo.html This video is very actual and goes into scribal details.. _Incompetent reader, Competent scribe_
The “you don’t know Arabic” argument is so stupid and suicidal. The vast majority of Muslims are from non Arabic backgrounds. So in order to understand Islam, which is supposedly the truth, you have to understand Arabic? Well that means all the Muslim translators of the Quran are a bunch of liars hiding the disgusting truth of Islam. It’s actually the opposite, if you speak Arabic you can destroy Islam more easily, however it’s not necessary. Islam falls apart very quickly just by scratching the surface of what’s available in English (which is a tiny percentage of all the Islamic sources).
Dr Yasir Qadhi is not a native speaker of Arabic which he often boasts of. His native language is likely Urdu and his knowledge of Arabic may not be better than Dr Brubakers. From what I read about Dr Brubaker, apart from English and Spanish, he knows Greek, Arabic, German, Hebrew, Syriac, and French. Dr Brubaker's knowledge of Hebrew and Syriac in addition to Arabic, gives him a great deal of edge as a scholar of early Quranic manuscripts.
in fact when i have started to learn Syriac l looked to early quranic manuscript and being able to read syriac it help me a lot in reading arabic quranic manuscripts so Dr Dan is much in higher position regarding this subject
@Jason El Bourno do you know that any native arabic speaker could NOT read any early quranic manuscript? even the ones that has degree in Arabic literature they can't read any early quranic manuscript? by the way iam a native arabic speaker and iam a researcher in manuscripts and i can read arabic manuscripts
@Jason El Bourno ABDOOOOL Yasir Qadhi was born in the US, spent some time in Saudi and returned for to study Islam as well as an as an "associate degree in Arabic". His native languages are apparently Urdu, and perhaps Punjabi. That does not indicate that he is a native Arabic speaker. I only respect a scholar who knows Syriac and Hebrew in addition to Arabic like Dr Brubaker. Your "holes in the narrative scholar know neither ebrew nor Syriac. By the way, why did you not call Rob Christian yesterday when he invited you for a discussion?
@@brothermagdi5637 Very true. Dr Brubaker knows and speaks 8 languages including Arabic, Syriac and Hebrew. Dr Qadhi is definitely no match to Dr Brubaker in this subject. It seems the Quran was translated from a Syriac original and a knowledge of Syriac, is important to fully grasp the context of the Quran. There are several words in the Quran which are puzzles to only Arabic speaking scholars but knowledge of Syriac definitely clarifies the original context of the script. Good luck on your quest!
@@zanjabil1789 yes i agree to certain extent however the Arabic itself evolved from Nabatean which in turn evolved from syriac so the knowledge of Syriac is power tool to understand classic arabic quranic texts for example in middle east the churchs in Egypt and Syria rarely used bible codex in liturgical services but instead they used portions of it in masses it's called in coptic Katameroc (according to days "reading of days") and in syriac qoriono which would clearify the meaning of word quran itself as "a reading"
Qadhi clearly stated in his meeting/talk with Mohamed Hijab that there are things he doesn’t teach his students because he doesn’t want them to be exposed to “ holes in the narrative “ as he put it ! What kind of an academic deliberately misinforms his students ? What kind of a course is he teaching that depends on his students not being aware of the truth ? What other academic endeavour needs students to remain ignorant in order to pass a class ? What kind of academic institution employs a tutor who deliberately ignored known facts because they contradict a narrative that he knows is untrue ? What kind of qualification does a student obtain from this fraudulent teaching ?
Did he genuinly say: "But I cant respect a person who uses the academy to pursue an agenda of conversion and proselytization"? This Qadhi guy is a naturally born comedian!
Essentially he’s saying he doesn’t like your audience, and that you interact with your audience. As far as bias goes there’s countless videos of Qadhi giving Islamist speeches that arguably cross the line of the New France ultimatum. You on the other hand have never publicly said anything demeaning of Islam or Muslims.
According to Wikipedia, Yasir Qadhi was born in Houston, Texas to parents of Pakistani origin. I conclude from that that he is not a native speak of Arabic. He may be proficient, but he is not a native speaker.
I wouldn't say that, @J.C_ يسوع ابن الله. As an imam and a sheikh, obviously he is more than just a "cultural" Muslim. But since both of his parents are from Pakistan, I doubt he spoke Arabic at the dinner table growing up.
For example, Qadhi grew up in America and knows how to say "the cuff of my pant leg got caught in the chain where the chain meets the sprockets", but a non-native speaker would have trouble with low frequency stuff like that. Does he know those kind of things in Arabic? I doubt it. Only native speakers do.
The sad irony is that if Yassir Qadhi ever left Islam and became Christian, he would find so much more support and love from Christians than he's getting from other Muslims.
Why would one go from unproven as of yet, to one that's proven to be wrong, if Islam goes the way of Christianity. Then i guess it's agnosticism or atheism.
@@inaaranur1611 Remove yourself from the emotions of the moment and just step back. Ask yourself objectively, "Who are the people threatening to kill others? Who are the people literally cutting off people's heads?" Leading Christians go apostate all the time. No one is threatening to kill them. Imagine that happening with a Muslim leader in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or anywhere in North Africa. Just dwell on that for a while. You're blinding yourself.
Dr D Brubaker you are very patient, soft spoken, well manners, decent man, you respond well. And you showed how to act like Christian. As a Christian our behavior should be like Christ. As a ex Muslim Christian from Pakistan I have so much love and respect for you. God bless you abundantly✊❤️
This shows the importance of Dr Brubaker’s work. A clear, critical examination of the manuscripts helps us all get on equal footing so we can engage with each other honestly and not be purely agenda-driven but have a solid point of contact.
The reality of Islam is that quran abrogates quran, hadith abrogates hadith, quran abrogates hadith and hadith abrogates quran. Where in the world is this complete abrogation list? Does Yasir Qadhi have this full list? That is Yasir Qadhi's reality. Yasir Qadhi's reality abrogates itself. That's a whole lot worse than perception is reality. PS "perception is reality" is not good.
Such class. Deeply admirable. I am stunned by the egregiously childish remarks by Yasir Qadhi, who I once held in a very high regard as a consummate academic, someone who I believed would honor the etiquettes that govern how academics should engage with criticism. Instead he came off as an emotionally charged partisan hack who was angered by the fact that his words and his religion were being heavily scrutinized. Ive lost all respect for him, in my eyes hes nothing more than a glorified version of zakir naik and zakir naik helped me leave islam. Sad state of affairs if this is the best that muslims have to offer in academia
That is so great to hear, since Zakir Naik somehow manages to deceive so many. People will believe anything he says. Would you mind sharing how he helped you leave Islam?
He's on the fact-checking teams of Politico, Facebook and other Big Tech social media. I guess what that also shows, by extension, is the sad state of world today.
Anyone who's gone through the process of doctoral work knows that a dissertation is NOT meant to be 100% error free. That's why you do doctoral work: to show that know SOMETHING, not EVERYTHING. If that's the standard that YQ is using, he should also know that it can be applied to his dissertation as well.
Regarding Arabic, the work you're doing with such ancient Arabic texts is quite impressive, those manuscripts are almost impossible to read for a native speaker and I am one, it's not about Arabic, it's more about expertise in deciphering archaic Arabic rasms, beside that I never noticed any mistakes in your Arabic even in your pronunciation.
What gets me even more..is the muslims who dont even speak.arabic or barely speak it..is when they try correcting exmuslims or those non muslims who speak arabic..yet they think they know so much because someone like an Imam or friend or family told them this or that word or words mean this or that..or they are self taught in a few words..hhhlol
Speaking many languages doesn’t make the Quran valid or invalid. The Arabic language has been preserved since 1400 years and before that, and the Quran is in the heart of man. If what you claiming is true bring anyone who entirely memorized any scripture except the QURAN. Jews, Christian, budist, hindusim, etc bring one person who memorized the whole book. If that is not the case than you wonder why Muslims enjoy and thier religion. Keep what you have and leave for others what they have, the judgment day will come whether you believe it or not. What are you going to gain pointing this word was wrong or this was right nothing. Muslims from China to Africa, Russia to middle east read the same Quran, so don’t waste your time there is no book that almost two billion people read the same way.
The sharp contrast with which Daniel Brubaker a Christian and Yasir Qadhi a Muslim responds to criticism is striking Daniel Brubaker is confident in his work and has substantive reflections while Yasir Qadhi resorts to personal insults.
Dr. Brubaker, I strongly admire your strength of character. Thank you for your work, and thank you for who you choose to be. May God bless you abundantly.
To understand YQ's video, I find it helpful to understand who his intended audience was. YQ has been coming under a lot of fire lately from the "ummah" for problematic statements he has made about the preservation of the Quran. In other words, his video is about "domestic" politics, virtue signaling to his base, trying to shore up his bona fides.

Dr. Brubaker, when you said, "truth is what is", it was as if I was tapped on my shoulder and told to pay close attention! Wow, awesome!
I'm enjoying your channel, Daniel. Manuscripts are not something I have studied deeply and so I find your observations fascinating and very informative. Yasir Qadhi is a scholar I have respected for some time and it's a shame he has decided to indulge in ad hominem. As I myself know well, the topic of religion stirs a great deal of emotions and can make rational people behave irrationally. It's impossible to analyse texts people hold sacred without upsetting someone. But that should not derail one from expressing one's thoughts and views. Best wishes.
As a Muslim I am disappointed that Muslims cannot seem to argue the point that you are presenting instead of attacking you. Being civil and courteous is important.
Thank you, Nasser. In any group there will be a range of characters and responses. I agree that courtesy and civility are good, and I appreciate your comment.
@@variantquran4505 Dr Brubaker I welcome your perspective on the Qura. To be what is important is how objectivly we can get to the truth. As a Christian you have your biases as do I as a e. I am researching all the texts and the personalities in the Torah, New Testament and the Quran. There are shall we say weaknesses in all 3. In my opinion God whoever he might be is a poor communicator. I welcome your approach as well as a Christian, your calm demeanour and your scientific approach to the issue. As a Muslim it is difficult to listen to people like Jay Smith when he wanders from research to the polemics. He can be as bad as David Wood. I look forward to more research from you. Peace.
@@nasserhameed3828 Thank you. I believe it is important to consider that God has not (in my understanding) made people robots, even when it comes to the later transmission of authentic revelation. By analogy, if someone delivers a perfect speech and it is written down word for word but then copied wrong by someone else later on, the fault is not with the speaker. Christians have understood this for quite some time, and biblical textual criticism has generally focused upon finding what was first written. Best to you, and I appreciate the engagement. I am glad you appreciate my work and what you observe about me is what I intend to project to the world, so it is gratifying to hear that from you. This said, I also appreciate those who engage in apologetics or polemics (on any side of these questions or others), so long as they are honest. Even ridicule (if honest) can serve an important function. It is a different style of discussion than I have chosen, but I am a big advocate for robust and free speech, and I believe that it is healthy to protect it for everyone, even if it can be messy and makes some uncomfortable. Some of my academic colleagues disagree with me on this, but I think I am right. (!) Again, thanks.
Is Yasir Qadhi saying that he never has an agenda with his scholarship? Surely he realizes that the very same criticisms he is throwing out also apply to himself?
He even says in his work that he sets up red lines for himself to keep himself within orthodox Islam. He knows the meaning of words like ultracrepidarian but not the word hypocrite
@@pa21thebeast Yeah throughout the email I just keep thinking of Qahdi's public statement of the red line which he will not cross, this is a frank admission that he must inject his biases into his work , which no serious academic should do , and to admit you do is self defeating on peoples perception of your credibility. I'd like to feel sympathy for him being in a difficult place but this smearing of Dan's work and ethics makes that impossible, it shows again Qahdi's academic values are misplaced.
@@tdsdave yeah I started feeling sorry for him because I know what he’s actually trying to do, but then I remember he’s a staunch Islamist so the sympathy ends there. He seems to suffer from narcissistic personality disorder; in that he’s honest because he cannot help but reveal how much knowledge he has, even though he knows his knowledge is supposed to be a secret. What’s fascinating is that he’s already exposed his current knowledge is more than enough to destroy most Muslim’s faith in Islam, but if he goes any deeper he would destroy his own faith. Any logical person would conclude that he’s admitting Islam has large problems.
@@pa21thebeast You are likely aware but just in case , there is a history preceding Qahdi's recent fluff, where he was in an private email circle and he talked of his academic studies leading him to doubts, the mails were leaked by one of the members and that itself caused similar drama to what we are seeing today. His public backtrack from that was necessary obviously , his credibility with the Ummh is more important than his intellectual and academic honesty , but if this backtrack was sincere I have my doubts. Like today, his backtracks are an arse covering exercise , I doubt they are sincere. He reminds me of pastors who have become atheists but given their livelihoods depend on their work , and their lack of skills to do any other work , they stay trapped in what amounts to a deceit. Qahdi's tactics in defending himself are as formulaic as any low hanging Muslim fruit, denial of intellectual credibility in their interlocutor, dismissal by using ad hom of calling your interlocutor a bigot, and demeaning ridicule. it must be in a pamphlet every Muslim must get on how to react to criticism of Islam.
@@tdsdave yeah I was aware of the email. It was leaked by Farid in 2016, by a Muslim apologists who ironically later asked Mohammed Hijab to ask Qadhi the question that created the fiasco, then the same Farid tried to refute Qadhi and get other people to destroy Qadhi. As far as covering his arse, that pamphlet is the sharia. Everything he’s doing is guidance from the Sharia, including hiding things, threatening others, and refusing to interact with Christians. What Farid and other Muslims are doing is what happened in the 8th and 9th centuries. He was never an academic, his academic pursuits were just to feed his ego, now it’s coming back to bite him. His ego is too honest while his eman is secretive. Academia forces him to expose things that could expose Islam. I believe when he first started he thought he would be able to find evidence that supports the Islamic narrative, but as he kept digging, the hole was getting bigger so he had to take a step back and put on his Islamist hat. He realized if he didn’t dig others would dig, so the email in 2016 was a warning. In the email he said that the qiraats and Ahruf prove the fore founders (scholars) of Islam were not infallible, which if you understand sharia makes him an apostate, and is why people are calling him murtad. I’m confident he believes heavily in islam but is no longer in Islam.
I trust you experience the weight-on-your-shoulder (these "distractions", not unlike carrying a cross) as integral to real-time formation of your faithfulness and effectiveness. Thank you for sharing the fruit of your labor. God bless you and all you love.
Qadhi is desperately trying to deflect the mess he made for himself by lashing out at those he sees as most damaging to the narrative that the quran has been perfectly preserved and he thinks that by attacking you guys he might win back the respect he lost from his Ummah.
Post from Canada: Stay safe Dan - thx for all your videos. Keep in mind that Yasir Qahi comes from Pakistan which literaly means 'Land of Pure' - Yes, they did purify the land from any culture they had and made the land a Home Base for Taliban, Alqueda, JeM, JeT...... I hope Yasir Qhadi preaches his Words of Wisdom to his brothern there too.
I don't know how you managed to respond so calmly in the face of Yasir Qadhi's ad-hominems. I particularly appreciated the way you explained "Islamophobia". Islam clearly needs protection and this is how it's done. The truth need not fear any attack. It has withstood man's attempts to destroy it for 2000 years. We're all watching Islam to see how it survives the holes in the narrative.
As an Aerospace engineer ( we deal with deterministic systems) I very much liked your rebuttal. I believe that followers of Islam will greatly benefit from your work.
There was a woman named Amna bint Wahab she married Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalibtheu, they had a son called Qathem but there's a twist in this marriage. Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib died and Qathem was born 4 years after his father's death. Aminah was accused of adultery and the family never excepted Qathem. The family say there was a man called waraqa he was having affair with Aminah because everywhere Qathem went waraqa was with him. One day Qathem went missing everyone thought Qathem had been kidnapped they looked for him, they found him he was playing with waraqa...when waraqa died Muhammad tried to commit suicide. They say waraqa got his sister to sleep with Abdullah so he wouldn't have time to sleep with Aminah. Sadly Qathem mother died and he was shifted around by his family At 24 he met and married khadija. One day Qathem went into a cave he saw a man, the man squeezes Qathems hand 3 times and says read, 3 times Qathem said I cant read. Qathem runs out of the cave crying shaking keeps running until he gets home and tells his wife khadija that he's seen the devil up in the cave, Qathem was hiding under a blanket shaking with fear, khadija asks what as happened? Qathem couldn't stop crying and shaking shouting IT WAS THE DEVIL, i have seen the devil in the the cave! khadija took Qathem to a relative called waraqa and it was he who said it was gabriel not the devil...khadija and waraqa persuaded Qathem that its was gabriel and he is a prophet. Was Qathem right? was it the devil? After all satan did put words in Muhammads mouth! Muhammad recited Surat-an-Najm from satan, chapter 53 of the qur'an.
Dr. Brubaker, you are worthy of great respect...for your faith, integrity, intellect, scholarship, manners. You are a true gentleman. Your response embodied: Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
After watching Dr Brubaker's comments a second time . WOW what a testimony for how a Christians response should be . *It's easy to hate the enemy Qadhi* But he needs our love . He's not the enemy . He's on his way to hitting the bottom . Many of us know what that's like . I know I do We need to Pray for Qadhi.
Not knowing Arabic is one of the first attacks Islamic apologists use to discredit opponents. It’s tired and a lame excuse. They ignore the actual arguments made.
Dr Brubaker don’t be put off by the term ‘Islamophobe’. Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners, and ‘Islamophobia’ is a made up word (1910) which is cynically used to thwart the possibility of objectivity critiquing Islamic religion and its dubious history, while simultaneously suggesting the presence of a mental disorder on the part of those who dare to do so! The term Islamophobia dates back to the 1910s, its current usage is relatively new, and dates back to the 1990s. It is also a heavily contested term, not only in far-right circles in the West, but also among liberal elites, and even within academia itself. In its current usage, it has a genealogy dating to the emergence of scholarly literature on ‘cultural’ and/or ‘neo-racism’ in the 1980s and 1990s. In the legal arena in Norway, the term itself carries no weight whatsoever!!! History of the term The first use of the term was by the painter Alphonse Étienne Dinet and Algerian intellectual Sliman ben Ibrahim in their biography of Islam's ‘prophet’ Muhammad. Writing in French, they used the term islamophobie. Robin Richardson writes that in the English version of the book the word was not translated as "Islamophobia" but rather as "feelings inimical to Islam". Dahou Ezzerhouni has cited several other uses in French as early as 1910,

Which is what Christianity is all about *TRUTH* I know from speaking to Muslims many of them don't understand how pointless Lying would be for one in Christ. They don't seem to get that for a Christian it's all about what is true . Keep up the great Work and explanations. Your Presentations are easy to follow and understand. Thanks for speaking to us and not past us. God Bless You and the Work you are doing. I'm sure many Muslims are seeing what's really True.
Agenda driven? The only thing that was Christian in your academic work that I could see is the fruit of the Spirit that you display. You don't put your own opinions in it which is how honest scholarly work should be. Without bias. And you have done a fantastic job at that. Your Christian character is on display through your patience and honesty which produces good work that all should respect. Thank you Dan.
Dan, continue to do the work we need to get to the truth. Your clarity, transparency and respect to your opposition is an admirable display of Christ's call for our lives. You're setting an unbelievably powerful example of how we can courteously approach our Muslim brothers and sisters.
Daniel, you are a gentleman, well done. Rest assured lots of people appreciate your scholarly abilities, a scholarly quest undertaken in a veritable minefield, as is proven by such exchanges - de facto. Keep up your great work, please. The Truth often hurts, nonetheless the Truth remains the Truth and in all too many instances, it gains the person pursuing it, or attempting to pursue it grotesque levels of animosity. Thank you Daniel.
We have to also to do this on behalf of thinking Muslims, even if men like Qahdi are determined to defend their religion no matter what. The vast majority of Muslims would have absolutely no idea of what Islamic scholars really are up to behind closed academic doors. Many people would remain in blind faith if it wasn't for people like Dr Brubaker and Dr Smith now exposing major flaws in Islamic texts, history etc.
The shrill passive aggression in that email belies a real crisis of faith. And it just makes the calm, balanced and charitable response given in this video even more compelling.
Hey Dan I see myself as a Christian evangelist, missionary and apologist but when I come to want to know about Islam & it's history I am looking for competent scholarly work that relies on the facts. Keep up the good work for as you said: the preservation of the Quran is a very interesting subject, just as the preservation of the Bible.

Fantastic response, Dr. B! This is rational, kind, and represents you well (in my opinion) as a person and as an academic. Impossible to find fault of any kind with this response. BTW you can be an introvert but be public. In fact, based on body language and how you express yourself, I'm saying your MBTI type is INFP/INFJ.
Dan, a very kind response to an individual who has become increasingly dishonest and even threatening. You’re a patient person. It’s interesting that Qadhi claims to be generally likable, while also false-flagging channels and publicly threatening an owner of another channel. That makes his comment about not wanting to be two-faced, two-faced.
I wholeheartedly endorse this statement. Thank you Colin, also for your great work.
@Jason El Bourno And how is he dishonest? Feel free to make a video debunking Colin.
@Jason El Bourno upset maybe, but not in the way you think. If it wasn't for knowing about Yasir's, Mo Hijab's and your (if you are indeed Ali Dawah) threats against other people, I'm sure most of us would find you likeable enough and might even imagine enjoying a good laugh and bit of banter on subjects unrelated to Islam (maybe not so Ijaz and Farid as they're quite one-dimensional), so we do actually want see you and other muslims come to Christ, as the only way to your salvation.

And even worse, people think Qadhi is actually a reliable source of information
Perhaps he never really read the book. After all, he's a follower of the "I can't read" school.
Wait, wait, wait. Dr. Brubaker does selective interviews and his material is used quite often by Christian apologists, so that means he is non-academic, theologically biased, and "repugnant". Examining the other side, there are various videos of Dr. Qadhi on youtube of him engaging in non-academic religious work (education for the layperson, religious instruction, etc.), he is interviewed by Muslim apologists (like Mohammed Hijab) for the benefit of common Muslims, and his works were (until the "holes in the narrative" gaffe) widely used by Muslim polemicists - but Qadhi is still academically pure and without theological biases? This is either some next level projection, or just pure, unbridled hypocrisy.
The extremist are hypocrites

_Incompetent reader, Competent scribe_
The “you don’t know Arabic” argument is so stupid and suicidal. The vast majority of Muslims are from non Arabic backgrounds. So in order to understand Islam, which is supposedly the truth, you have to understand Arabic? Well that means all the Muslim translators of the Quran are a bunch of liars hiding the disgusting truth of Islam.
It’s actually the opposite, if you speak Arabic you can destroy Islam more easily, however it’s not necessary. Islam falls apart very quickly just by scratching the surface of what’s available in English (which is a tiny percentage of all the Islamic sources).
Dr Yasir Qadhi is not a native speaker of Arabic which he often boasts of. His native language is likely Urdu and his knowledge of Arabic may not be better than Dr Brubakers. From what I read about Dr Brubaker, apart from English and Spanish, he knows Greek, Arabic, German, Hebrew, Syriac, and French. Dr Brubaker's knowledge of Hebrew and Syriac in addition to Arabic, gives him a great deal of edge as a scholar of early Quranic manuscripts.
in fact when i have started to learn Syriac l looked to early quranic manuscript and being able to read syriac it help me a lot in reading arabic quranic manuscripts
so Dr Dan is much in higher position regarding this subject
@Jason El Bourno do you know that any native arabic speaker could NOT read any early quranic manuscript?
even the ones that has degree in Arabic literature they can't read any early quranic manuscript?
by the way iam a native arabic speaker and iam a researcher in manuscripts and i can read arabic manuscripts
@Jason El Bourno ABDOOOOL Yasir Qadhi was born in the US, spent some time in Saudi and returned for to study Islam as well as an as an "associate degree in Arabic". His native languages are apparently Urdu, and perhaps Punjabi. That does not indicate that he is a native Arabic speaker. I only respect a scholar who knows Syriac and Hebrew in addition to Arabic like Dr Brubaker. Your "holes in the narrative scholar know neither ebrew nor Syriac.
By the way, why did you not call Rob Christian yesterday when he invited you for a discussion?
@@brothermagdi5637 Very true. Dr Brubaker knows and speaks 8 languages including Arabic, Syriac and Hebrew. Dr Qadhi is definitely no match to Dr Brubaker in this subject. It seems the Quran was translated from a Syriac original and a knowledge of Syriac, is important to fully grasp the context of the Quran. There are several words in the Quran which are puzzles to only Arabic speaking scholars but knowledge of Syriac definitely clarifies the original context of the script. Good luck on your quest!
@@zanjabil1789 yes i agree to certain extent
however the Arabic itself evolved from Nabatean which in turn evolved from syriac
so the knowledge of Syriac is power tool to understand classic arabic quranic texts
for example in middle east the churchs in Egypt and Syria rarely used bible codex in liturgical services but instead they used portions of it in masses it's called in coptic Katameroc (according to days "reading of days") and in syriac qoriono which would clearify the meaning of word quran itself as "a reading"
You are remaining very calm in the face of barrages of ad homs, that alone should command respect
Right!!!
@@markmcflounder15 This is how to adorn the Gospel of Jesus Christ
Qadhi clearly stated in his meeting/talk with Mohamed Hijab that there are things he doesn’t teach his students because he doesn’t want them to be exposed to “ holes in the narrative “ as he put it !
What kind of an academic deliberately misinforms his students ?
What kind of a course is he teaching that depends on his students not being aware of the truth ?
What other academic endeavour needs students to remain ignorant in order to pass a class ?
What kind of academic institution employs a tutor who deliberately ignored known facts because they contradict a narrative that he knows is untrue ?
What kind of qualification does a student obtain from this fraudulent teaching ?
Excellent points 👉
I wonder if Qadhi would be willing to go over those holes with fellow scholars and academics...
Did he genuinly say: "But I cant respect a person who uses the academy to pursue an agenda of conversion and proselytization"? This Qadhi guy is a naturally born comedian!
Essentially he’s saying he doesn’t like your audience, and that you interact with your audience. As far as bias goes there’s countless videos of Qadhi giving Islamist speeches that arguably cross the line of the New France ultimatum. You on the other hand have never publicly said anything demeaning of Islam or Muslims.
According to Wikipedia, Yasir Qadhi was born in Houston, Texas to parents of Pakistani origin. I conclude from that that he is not a native speak of Arabic. He may be proficient, but he is not a native speaker.
I wouldn't say that, @J.C_ يسوع ابن الله. As an imam and a sheikh, obviously he is more than just a "cultural" Muslim. But since both of his parents are from Pakistan, I doubt he spoke Arabic at the dinner table growing up.
He’s a hypocrite
For example, Qadhi grew up in America and knows how to say "the cuff of my pant leg got caught in the chain where the chain meets the sprockets", but a non-native speaker would have trouble with low frequency stuff like that. Does he know those kind of things in Arabic? I doubt it. Only native speakers do.
Dr. Welcome to miracle of Islam.
The sad irony is that if Yassir Qadhi ever left Islam and became Christian, he would find so much more support and love from Christians than he's getting from other Muslims.
Amen!
Why would one go from unproven as of yet, to one that's proven to be wrong, if Islam goes the way of Christianity. Then i guess it's agnosticism or atheism.

"What is truth? Truth is what it is." Nice.
The reality of Islam is that quran abrogates quran, hadith abrogates hadith, quran abrogates hadith and hadith abrogates quran. Where in the world is this complete abrogation list?

Anyone who's gone through the process of doctoral work knows that a dissertation is NOT meant to be 100% error free. That's why you do doctoral work: to show that know SOMETHING, not EVERYTHING.

Regarding Arabic, the work you're doing with such ancient Arabic texts is quite impressive, those manuscripts are almost impossible to read for a native speaker and I am one, it's not about Arabic, it's more about expertise in deciphering archaic Arabic rasms, beside that I never noticed any mistakes in your Arabic even in your pronunciation.

Speaking many languages doesn’t make the Quran valid or invalid. The Arabic language has been preserved since 1400 years and before that, and the Quran is in the heart of man. If what you claiming is true bring anyone who entirely memorized any scripture except the QURAN. Jews, Christian, budist, hindusim, etc bring one person who memorized the whole book. If that is not the case than you wonder why Muslims enjoy and thier religion. Keep what you have and leave for others what they have, the judgment day will come whether you believe it or not.

@@nasserhameed3828 Thank you. I believe it is important to consider that God has not (in my understanding) made people robots, even when it comes to the later transmission of authentic revelation. By analogy, if someone delivers a perfect speech and it is written down word for word but then copied wrong by someone else later on, the fault is not with the speaker. Christians have understood this for quite some time, and biblical textual criticism has generally focused upon finding what was first written. Best to you, and I appreciate the engagement. I am glad you appreciate my work and what you observe about me is what I intend to project to the world, so it is gratifying to hear that from you. This said, I also appreciate those who engage in apologetics or polemics (on any side of these questions or others), so long as they are honest. Even ridicule (if honest) can serve an important function. It is a different style of discussion than I have chosen, but I am a big advocate for robust and free speech, and I believe that it is healthy to protect it for everyone, even if it can be messy and makes some uncomfortable. Some of my academic colleagues disagree with me on this, but I think I am right. (!) Again, thanks.
Is Yasir Qadhi saying that he never has an agenda with his scholarship? Surely he realizes that the very same criticisms he is throwing out also apply to himself?
He even says in his work that he sets up red lines for himself to keep himself within orthodox Islam. He knows the meaning of words like ultracrepidarian but not the word hypocrite
@@pa21thebeast
Yeah throughout the email I just keep thinking of Qahdi's public statement of the red line which he will not cross, this is a frank admission that he must inject his biases into his work , which no serious academic should do , and to admit you do is self defeating on peoples perception of your credibility. I'd like to feel sympathy for him being in a difficult place but this smearing of Dan's work and ethics makes that impossible, it shows again Qahdi's academic values are misplaced.
@@tdsdave yeah I started feeling sorry for him because I know what he’s actually trying to do, but then I remember he’s a staunch Islamist so the sympathy ends there. He seems to suffer from narcissistic personality disorder; in that he’s honest because he cannot help but reveal how much knowledge he has, even though he knows his knowledge is supposed to be a secret. What’s fascinating is that he’s already exposed his current knowledge is more than enough to destroy most Muslim’s faith in Islam, but if he goes any deeper he would destroy his own faith. Any logical person would conclude that he’s admitting Islam has large problems.

You are likely aware but just in case , there is a history preceding Qahdi's recent fluff, where he was in an private email circle and he talked of his academic studies leading him to doubts, the mails were leaked by one of the members and that itself caused similar drama to what we are seeing today. His public backtrack from that was necessary obviously , his credibility with the Ummh is more important than his intellectual and academic honesty , but if this backtrack was sincere I have my doubts. Like today, his backtracks are an arse covering exercise , I doubt they are sincere.
He reminds me of pastors who have become atheists but given their livelihoods depend on their work , and their lack of skills to do any other work , they stay trapped in what amounts to a deceit.
Qahdi's tactics in defending himself are as formulaic as any low hanging Muslim fruit, denial of intellectual credibility in their interlocutor, dismissal by using ad hom of calling your interlocutor a bigot, and demeaning ridicule. it must be in a pamphlet every Muslim must get on how to react to criticism of Islam.
@@tdsdave yeah I was aware of the email. It was leaked by Farid in 2016, by a Muslim apologists who ironically later asked Mohammed Hijab to ask Qadhi the question that created the fiasco, then the same Farid tried to refute Qadhi and get other people to destroy Qadhi.
As far as covering his arse, that pamphlet is the sharia. Everything he’s doing is guidance from the Sharia, including hiding things, threatening others, and refusing to interact with Christians. What Farid and other Muslims are doing is what happened in the 8th and 9th centuries. He was never an academic, his academic pursuits were just to feed his ego, now it’s coming back to bite him. His ego is too honest while his eman is secretive. Academia forces him to expose things that could expose Islam. I believe when he first started he thought he would be able to find evidence that supports the Islamic narrative, but as he kept digging, the hole was getting bigger so he had to take a step back and put on his Islamist hat. He realized if he didn’t dig others would dig, so the email in 2016 was a warning. In the email he said that the qiraats and Ahruf prove the fore founders (scholars) of Islam were not infallible, which if you understand sharia makes him an apostate, and is why people are calling him murtad. I’m confident he believes heavily in islam but is no longer in Islam.
I trust you experience the weight-on-your-shoulder (these "distractions", not unlike carrying a cross) as integral to real-time formation of your faithfulness and effectiveness. Thank you for sharing the fruit of your labor. God bless you and all you love.
Qadhi is desperately trying to deflect the mess he made for himself by lashing out at those he sees as most damaging to the narrative that the quran has been perfectly preserved and he thinks that by attacking you guys he might win back the respect he lost from his Ummah.
Post from Canada:
Stay safe Dan - thx for all your videos.
Keep in mind that Yasir Qahi comes from Pakistan which literaly means 'Land of Pure' - Yes, they did purify the land from any culture they had and made the land a Home Base for Taliban, Alqueda, JeM, JeT......
I hope Yasir Qhadi preaches his Words of Wisdom to his brothern there too.
@Constanze Constantia Urdu is the main language spoken in Pakistan also used among the Muslim population in North India.
Doxxer Qadhi, if you're reading this, repent while you still can.
That’s a funny name. I will use it on his UA-cam video channel
I don't know how you managed to respond so calmly in the face of Yasir Qadhi's ad-hominems.
I particularly appreciated the way you explained "Islamophobia". Islam clearly needs protection and this is how it's done.
The truth need not fear any attack. It has withstood man's attempts to destroy it for 2000 years. We're all watching Islam to see how it survives the holes in the narrative.
Oh, so this is what an academic response is like? What does that make Yasir Qadhi's response?
Just wind in a hole.
As an Aerospace engineer ( we deal with deterministic systems) I very much liked your rebuttal.
I believe that followers of Islam will greatly benefit from your work.
Thank you
Thank you for the response! ❤️
There was a woman named Amna bint Wahab she married Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalibtheu, they had a son called Qathem but there's a twist in this marriage.
Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib died and Qathem was born 4 years after his father's death.
Aminah was accused of adultery and the family never excepted Qathem.
The family say there was a man called waraqa he was having affair with Aminah because everywhere Qathem went waraqa was with him.
One day Qathem went missing everyone thought Qathem had been kidnapped they looked for him, they found him he was playing with waraqa...when waraqa died Muhammad tried to commit suicide.
They say waraqa got his sister to sleep with Abdullah so he wouldn't have time to sleep with Aminah.
Sadly Qathem mother died and he was shifted around by his family
At 24 he met and married khadija.
One day Qathem went into a cave he saw a man, the man squeezes Qathems hand 3 times and says read, 3 times Qathem said I cant read.
Qathem runs out of the cave crying shaking keeps running until he gets home and tells his wife khadija that he's seen the devil up in the cave, Qathem was hiding under a blanket shaking with fear, khadija asks what as happened?
Qathem couldn't stop crying and shaking shouting IT WAS THE DEVIL, i have seen the devil in the the cave! khadija took Qathem to a relative called waraqa and it was he who said it was gabriel not the devil...khadija and waraqa persuaded Qathem that its was gabriel and he is a prophet.
Was Qathem right? was it the devil? After all satan did put words in Muhammads mouth!
Muhammad recited Surat-an-Najm from satan,
chapter 53 of the qur'an.
Holes in the standard narratives
Dr. Brubaker, you are worthy of great respect...for your faith, integrity, intellect, scholarship, manners. You are a true gentleman.
Your response embodied:
Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.
Is that what they mean by “low YQ”?
hahaaha!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bingo!
After watching Dr Brubaker's comments a second time . WOW what a testimony for how a Christians response should be . *It's easy to hate the enemy Qadhi* But he needs our love . He's not the enemy . He's on his way to hitting the bottom . Many of us know what that's like . I know I do We need to Pray for Qadhi.
God Bless You, Sir. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you and thank the lord for the word you do.
A very gracious response. Worth emulating. God bless you.
Thank you Dr
Allah prays FOR the prophet!
Who is he praying too??
Only mimi hijab knows
... not TO :)
Thank you for this video! Thank you for the amazing content you continue to make! The world needs this information!
Not knowing Arabic is one of the first attacks Islamic apologists use to discredit opponents. It’s tired and a lame excuse. They ignore the actual arguments made.
Dr Brubaker don’t be put off by the term ‘Islamophobe’. Political correctness is fascism pretending to be manners, and ‘Islamophobia’ is a made up word (1910) which is cynically used to thwart the possibility of objectivity critiquing Islamic religion and its dubious history, while simultaneously suggesting the presence of a mental disorder on the part of those who dare to do so!
The term Islamophobia dates back to the 1910s, its current usage is relatively new, and dates back to the 1990s. It is also a heavily contested term, not only in far-right circles in the West, but also among liberal elites, and even within academia itself. In its current usage, it has a genealogy dating to the emergence of scholarly literature on ‘cultural’ and/or ‘neo-racism’ in the 1980s and 1990s. In the legal arena in Norway, the term itself carries no weight whatsoever!!!
History of the term
The first use of the term was by the painter Alphonse Étienne Dinet and Algerian intellectual Sliman ben Ibrahim in their biography of Islam's ‘prophet’ Muhammad. Writing in French, they used the term islamophobie. Robin Richardson writes that in the English version of the book the word was not translated as "Islamophobia" but rather as "feelings inimical to Islam". Dahou Ezzerhouni has cited several other uses in French as early as 1910,
from Indonesia we appreciate your work sir, don't worry about YQ, the holes he created spreads all over unstoppable.
YQ dibahas juga di Indonesah bro?
@Black Solid bakalan diboikot berjilid2 sampe monas wkwkwk
*Variant Quran* Dr Brubaker ,Dan What a Gracious Humble way of pointing out Islamic Claims are lies . Thanks for pointing out that being a follower of Jesus is about truth . Which is what Christianity is all about *TRUTH* I know from speaking to Muslims many of them don't understand how pointless Lying would be for one in Christ. They don't seem to get that for a Christian it's all about what is true . Keep up the great Work and explanations. Your Presentations are easy to follow and understand. Thanks for speaking to us and not past us. God Bless You and the Work you are doing. I'm sure many Muslims are seeing what's really True.
How will poor Yasir explain the non existance of Mecca on top of that ?
Agenda driven? The only thing that was Christian in your academic work that I could see is the fruit of the Spirit that you display. You don't put your own opinions in it which is how honest scholarly work should be. Without bias. And you have done a fantastic job at that. Your Christian character is on display through your patience and honesty which produces good work that all should respect. Thank you Dan.
Thank you for all your work.
Dan, continue to do the work we need to get to the truth. Your clarity, transparency and respect to your opposition is an admirable display of Christ's call for our lives. You're setting an unbelievably powerful example of how we can courteously approach our Muslim brothers and sisters.
Daniel please do not allow them to know your address.
You're doing a great job Dan! People that do honest work in your field are bound to get pushback. Thanks for all you do. God bless you.
This gentleman leads by example
Thank you for video Dr. Brubaker. God bless
Very well explained to clear misunderstandings. Thank you, Sir.
Daniel, you are a gentleman, well done. Rest assured lots of people appreciate your scholarly abilities, a scholarly quest undertaken in a veritable minefield, as is proven by such exchanges - de facto. Keep up your great work, please. The Truth often hurts, nonetheless the Truth remains the Truth and in all too many instances, it gains the person pursuing it, or attempting to pursue it grotesque levels of animosity. Thank you Daniel.
Excellent response. Very professional 👏.
What a gentleman! I really want to read all his books and articles after this response.
These people just hate the truth, pointless replying to them tbh.
We have to also to do this on behalf of thinking Muslims, even if men like Qahdi are determined to defend their religion no matter what. The vast majority of Muslims would have absolutely no idea of what Islamic scholars really are up to behind closed academic doors. Many people would remain in blind faith if it wasn't for people like Dr Brubaker and Dr Smith now exposing major flaws in Islamic texts, history etc.
@@jochris8483
Dr Brubaker And Jay Smith are exposing nothing at all...
You just have no idea of the game played here...
The shrill passive aggression in that email belies a real crisis of faith. And it just makes the calm, balanced and charitable response given in this video even more compelling.
Hey Dan I see myself as a Christian evangelist, missionary and apologist but when I come to want to know about Islam & it's history I am looking for competent scholarly work that relies on the facts. Keep up the good work for as you said: the preservation of the Quran is a very interesting subject, just as the preservation of the Bible.
If you want to know about Islam and history know that YQ represents the crooked face of Sunni Islam, the Islam that was built on a false foundation that is starting to crumble. Learn the truth

Dear Dr. Brubaker keep telling the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth may God help you! You are one of the most trusted and important scientists in the world right now,
You were really kind to him. If it were me hmm!
Hi Dan from Indonesia with such integrity and a selection of words not to hurt his high and mighty I thank you that's how a Christian should answer him. God bless you and your ministry.
Now that you have been found "guilty" of knowing arabic, you will be accused of not knowing old arabic. 😅
Funny thing Muhammad himself was illiterate. He could not read and write.
Never gets old. Even in Arabic.
Or "the page you're reading are not Authentic or Sahih!" 🤫🤭🤗
@@keyurpatel1982 Isiah 29:12 on illiterate prophet
Isaiah 29:12 "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, READ this, I pray thee: and he saith, I AM NOT LEARNED."
Prophet Muhammad being an illiterate prophet
"READ!"
The Messenger of Allah was astonished and frightened. His heart shivered. He said,
"I do not know how to read."
and said,
" READ!"
The Messenger of Allah answered,
"I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO READ,What shall I read?"
THE PROPHECY OF ISIAH CAME TRUE, and how the same situation occurs?,illiteracy of prophet proved the prophecy of isiah.
HERE IS THE COMPLETION OF HADITH.
(Thereupon, the angel read the first verses of the chapter of al-Alaq, which he took from Allah to bring to the Messenger of Allah:
"Proclaim! (or Read!) In the name of thy Lord and Cherisher, Who created― Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood: Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful― He Who taught (the use of) the Pen―."
(see Bukhari, Badul-Wahy, 3; Muslim, Iman, 252))
Fantastic response, Dr. B! This is rational, kind, and represents you well (in my opinion) as a person and as an academic. Impossible to find fault of any kind with this response. BTW you can be an introvert but be public. In fact, based on body language and how you express yourself, I'm saying your MBTI type is INFP/INFJ.
