*CORRECTION: You call "Persian" scientists, as "Arab-Persian"!* *Or you call "Persian" scientists, "Non-Arab Muslims", is wrong too, because for ex Turks were also "Non-Arab Muslims", but those scientists are not Turk either.*
I completely agree with you. I saw some of his lectures and was amazed of them. Unfortunately, I’m not good at English. Those lectures was translated into Russian, but it was few. I would leaven much more from Roy Casagranda
Amazing...I wish I knew of Professor Casagranda when teaching my cultural anthropology classes. This is quite amazing as to how much Arabic influence in general knowledge, science and history has been totally shut away by Europeans.
This opera of erasing and eradicating the knowledge and the heritage of the Arabs, Persians and generally Muslims, which has inriched all the west civilization, started with the Crusades, but takes his peak during the Reconquista and became stable in the Inquisition. From there, the roots of the Islamophobia were deep planted, so much so, that, unfortunately, many of European “great figures” preferred to plagiarize the Islamic knowledge, instead of used as base to advance.❤
Words are not enough to convey my Respect and Gratitude for Professor Roy Casagranda a True Legend who will never know the Extent, or the Ripple effects of his Work and his Passion on Millions around the world...
appreciate you sharing this! It's time we talked about the "uncomfortable facts" that have been shunned (for a reason, many reasons actually) by western ideologies and practices. Mr Casgranda on the show was a great choice! Indeed, Truth shall prevail.
And having said that we must remember the idea of the winner rites the story until a real and honest writer comes along and I'm this case professor casa grande with the knowledge and a. Clear mind
Dr.Casablanca has one of the Greatest minds in history! He is up there with Plato & Chomsky! Thank you both for your programme! Most sincerely Michael Foley 🤔
Always a pleasure to listen To Dr Roy.. i think Andalusia and the reconquista is a perfect example to resume the subject, the way the spanish erased 800 years of history, i think the crusades continued in different forms, after the fall of Andalusia the clash moved to North Africa which led to the french colonization of Algeria in a form of a reconquista and a modern crusade and that isolated the ottoman empire
I’ve been following Dr. Roy Casagranda for awhile. Thanks for doing this. You did a great job moderating a conversation, don’t listen to criticism from those who could not have done better.
This was an absolutely fascinating, informative and highly enlightening interview, of an incredibly knowledgeable and well versed scholar of the Middle East!!! It was a real pleasure to learn of the profound advances made by a people and a region, largely overlooked and often ignored by the West Clearly, many of the advances that occurred in the West, were pre-dated by those in the Arab and Muslim world, by many hundreds of years. Incredible that so many of their contributions have been largely ignored by the West, for so long! Thank you for inviting this brilliant scholar on to your pidcast as a guest. We are all far better informed about the contributions that the Muslim and Arab world have been responsible for, over many hundreds of years. One can only wonder how much more advanced the world would be today, had their many contributions not been overlooked or ignored, for so long. I look forward to viewing the Followup interview of this wise and brilliant man!
Maybe you should not have all this background music. This is not intertainment, but serious subjects to be heared and reflected upon by people. Thank you for this great talk with this great historian.
@@ryojs4286 yes, but he's a political scientist not a historian - he tell you so himself a number of times and also makes the distinction between the two clear
@@anonymouscommentsshis CV is online, read it for your self - it says PolSci all over the place - he teaches history through the lens of PolSci, which is very different from straight history (which you would know if you bothered to look up the difference) - the story doesn't end where you say it ends, friend - it ends when you get your facts straight
He is Harry Potter of History subject, he always just take out some gold dust from the pocket and blow on us every time he speaks. Thank you sir this too will be in history.
Thank you for the best choice to invite Prof Roy. Please don't be offended could you kindly use high speed fibre internet for best connectivity & avoid freezing video.... Looking forward to the next level of discussion to Prof Roy.
Not sure high speed fiber internet was part of the payloads Israelis dropped during the last 2 months -- or that it'd please them, to start with. Same in 2006, 1996, 1982 or even back in 1969.
I fully and respectfully agree. This would be my only critique of the show. Most of us could listen to this highly knowledgeable guy for hours, and it would still be a great show, cause his talk is engaging and interesting. I understand the host has her questions and probably also the need to demarcate her territory (it is her show after all), but in my view she overdoes it. Too many interruptions, too long an introduction and too many soliloquies. The interviewee is the prize! Please let him talk and expand. This is a respectful, and meant to be a constructive, critique of the show. Overall, I found it to be a great show, and her choice of subject and guest has been very fortunate.
A point that the professor also briefly mentioned is that although many of these scientists are Muslims, they are non-Arabs. And many are located in the geography of ancient Iran (a region from Afghanistan to Iraq). After Islam entered Iran, they considered Arabic to be the language of the Quran, which is very sacred, so they published their works in Arabic. In fact, the background and scientific reference of Muslim scientists in this geography goes back to the Persians. Many of them had memorized the Quran, and the most famous poet, named "Hafiz", becuase he had memorized the Quran with fourteen narrations. Also, during the Mongol invasion, the largest Iranian library in Baghdad was burned (Baghdad was the scientific center of Iranians and for a time it was the place where most Iranian kings were crowned). And the Mongols converted to Islam in Iran and became the rulers of Iran for a period.
Great interview, but would appreciate a shorter intro and less filler. Time is at a premium in our world, and some will not watch if the video doesn't get quickly to the point. That would be a loss for everyone.
How about just fast forwarding? Or maybe play it at double speed or one and a half speed? Also, If your time comes at such a 'premium', you wouldn't be spending it watching UA-cam videos😂
More than 10 minutes of verbosity without even approaching the subject ... I agree that it is a good idea to use the time to focus on the actual subject in the title of the video. Advice: go to the transcript and scroll through to find the actual subject that made you click on this video.
Thank you for this podcast episode. First time here, subscribed because of Casagranda and your voice. However, 15min into this episode I found myself increasingly annoyed to the point of stopping to listen. That excruciatingly long intro with info about yourself, that music, those cuts, those long comments when interrupting Casagranda that don't add anything interesting... 15min into the episode and all Casagranda has been able to say is that he has moved to Dubai; the rest is you talking. I hope I am not sounding harsh. I can't listen anymore but I will give the second part with Casagranda another chance.
Dear lady, this could be much better discussed and focused-on by the audience without the darned music backing. Please loose the music at least for the 2nd part, and consider re uploading this part without the backing track.
Thank you for this great talk , few things I thought might be good to share, of all I love the way you talk the sense of calmness in your voice and the language, and when I listen to Dr Roy the way he speaks and takes you into different layers in time and you feel and relive the moments I understand that is your show and you engage in the conversation sometimes adding something sometimes confirming like many other podcasts but when we want to experience and bring that moment of history to life I guess less jumping and breaking into each others ,so distractive . And drama music it’s too much little bit at the beginning and end is enough, all I learned in this one hour was basically just the title with a bit of music I haven’t saw Dr Roy’s lectures before I might of just pass the video after 5 min which I’m sure you have the potential and knowledge to deliver your thoughts and have an effect , please let Dr Roy tell the story without cutting it off the you summarise it and bring us back in the moment with your beautiful narrative,
Thank you from bringing Dr Roy Casagranda in to this Podcast. Dr Roy is one of the very few unbiased Historians of our times in this world . Dr. Roy please keep uploading your latest videos on You tube which I make a point to hear every morning . Thank you once again for this Podcast
Thank so much for this podcast. Professor Casagranda has so much knowledge about history that it needs to be shared with the public which is for the most part ignorant about these facts.
Excellent show ❤- have been listening to Dr. Roy for quite some time. Suggestion: Always in the end get books recommendations. For example Dr. Roy & people like him are in unique position to get people started. Keep up the good work. Thanks!
I would highly advise the professor to re-read the incoherence of the philosophers. Ghazali is not anti-science and philosophy, he's actually a genius. He's anti following philosophy as a moral guide
I don't think men were meant to sit behind desks all day. Watching Ertuğrul and seeing the, okay dramatized, camaraderie among males, ...I don't think industrialization has been good for humanity, for families, for men, women and children.
If you let good books be your source of knowledge and not TV and other media, you can readily find this historical info. I grew up generally knowing this. We have gradually become passive, incurious and dependent on the media and on those who know very little about history, etc! And voila..we are ignorant!!
He brought up the subject of why the middle eastern people haven't tried to uphold their past and write and remind people about it. We'll as an Iranian let me tell you that the middle eastern people were so belittled and emptied of self belief by the puppet rulers imposed on us by the west such as the Shah of iran that I as a youngster I would be laughed at if I said something positive about our glorious past. To the extent that there wasn't a day when you wouldn't hear remarks like "we Iranians cannot even make a needle " or "the only thing that we can make is babies" and the likes of this. These devoiding narratives were promoted by the official line of puppet rulers that were imposed on us by the western colonizers. But since the Iranian revolution when the chain of these puppets was broken we have been going in leaps and bound towards achieving the position that we really deserve. Even now through sanctions and thousand other means the west is in full gear to stop us by calling us terrorists and such. Maybe the doctor will get to these points in his next lecture.
Thank you so much Daizy Gedeon! The irony lies in the fact that this type of knowledge has existed in the Islamic world for quite some time, as we have taken pride in the accomplishments of our predecessors. However, it seems that it requires individuals of Western or European descent to convey this knowledge to their peers for it to be acknowledged and accepted globally (I wonder why?). Otherwise, such knowledge would likely be dismissed as mere "conspiracy theory" or alike.
I saw one of his lectures online about Khalid ibn Al Walid. I liked this interview too But I have one thing to point out is how he portrayed Al ghazali Al regressive and ibn rochd as progressive while if you actually read their respective books it's the total opposite. Ibn roshd basically follows Greek philosophy blindly including believing some outdated cosmology without proof while Al Ghazali pointed how the followers of Greek philosophers in the Arab or Muslim world were merely blind imitators who failed to apply logic properly or research facts and he actually had a more modern cosmology and physics and if you aren't convinced just research ashaari atomism vs platonism
COVID wasn't an awakening, it was an ignitor and it unleashed everyone's obsessive thoughts. When people stop obsessing over they own victimhood they will start growing.
See this weird timeline you need to aware of: - Jacob Askowith and his son Charles designed the “flag of Judah,” which was displayed on July 20, 1891, at the hall of the B’nai Zion Educational Society in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. - 1st World Zionist Congress was in 1897. Much earlier than Nazism. Israel Flag introduced on this congress, with 2 blue stripes represent Nile and Euphrate, The Greater Israel borderplan. - 3rd World Zionist Congress in 1899 set their goal for Colonization Of Palestine. - Balfour declaration in 1917, arthur balfour was "giving" palestine to Lord Rothschilds so arthur can get rid of common jews that he hated so much. Arthur Balfour was actually anti-jews. That year, Hitler was just a corporal. Palestine occupation has nothing to do with holocaust which happened 1933-1945. - Irgun Terrorist gang militant started to kill palestinian natives, did riot in palestinian neighbourhood in 1931, two years before the holocaust, before hitler's reign.
Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation🙏Palestine is an area of more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me.🙏🙏🙏
For me as a Christian it’s sad to see what the world is going through. It hurts me to see lives being hurt on all sides of the conflict in the Middle East or any lives being hurt anywhere in the world. We’re all one people in the world who came from Adam and Eve, we’re all created equal. Jesus is God. The Bible covers the entire history of the Earth from the first man and the earth God created (in the book of Genesis) to when Jesus returns to the earth and rules for 1,000years (in the book of Revelations). If you look into this you’ll find that the Bible/Jewish Religion/Christianity are all older than the Muslim religion. The false prophet muhammad wasn’t around until after Jesus already came and did his work on the earth (dying on the cross for the sins of the world) giving birth to the first Christians in around the year 30-33ad when he was crucified. Jesus was born from a virgin with God being his father and a star marking the place of his birth and 3 kings from the east were able to follow that star all the way to the baby Jesus and left him gifts fit for a king because they saw the star as a sign from God. That’s not just a coincidence. There are also prophecies in the Bible given hundreds and thousands of years before Jesus was born saying exactly what would happen. There was no divine intervention from God concerning the birth of muhammad. Muslims widely believe that Jesus was a real person and is a prophet but they say don’t believe that he is God and can forgive us of our sins. But with this in mind according to the Bible a true prophet cannot lie so Jesus would not qualify as a prophet if he told lies. We as Christian’s know that Jesus is sinless, so it is a fact, that Jesus words are true in John 10:30 when he says “I and my Father are one”. Jesus words in John 3:16-17 are also true “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” John 3:16-18 KJV The Bible teaches that every man is sinful and incapable of earning eternal life in Heaven and God’s forgiveness. The Bible says “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV bible.com/bible/1/eph.2.8-9.KJV “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.” Romans 5:8-9 KJV bible.com/bible/1/rom.5.8-9.KJV The Bible tells us if we believe this we will be saved and enter into to heaven when we die. Jesus is God, who came from Heaven to Earth and died on the cross as a payment for our sins so that we wouldn’t have to pay for our sins, and after dying on the cross he was resurrected on the 3rd day, and if you accept his gift by believing in Jesus he will gift you eternal salvation. God wants you to receive his gift of eternal salvation through Jesus, not earn it through our work, it’s a gift. But any work we do after we are saved in Jesus we will be greatly rewarded for in Heaven. “that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13 KJV bible.com/bible/1/rom.10.9-13.KJV
Ottomanis had no chance to compete with Europe's brutality, pounder and their slave armies from all around world. First thing It's not that they didnt know how to colonize and steal it is because they were muslims and they didnt even consider. I respect professor a lot but he need to read Gazali again ın deep. His Philosophy not understood and ignored.
I think in English we can't say "his philosophy" for ghazali because he had a lot of anti-philosophy and would dislike it. but we would have to say "his world view" or "his narrative" and "his methodologies" and such
Yup absolutely. They were naïve, incapable and incompetent . So much so while they’re erecting enormous walls to safeguard the Holly City from external threats they were unaware of internal threats coming from their own subjects . At the end they had to withdraw leaving 400 years of memories behind surrendering the key of Jerusalem to the Zionist/Anglophones in 1917
24:42 Isaac Newton once famously said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.' There is no record of who those giants were, most likely because they were Islamic scientists like al-Haytham.

What people don't realise is that during the decades after WW2 Western Europe offered a good life to the average citizen BECAUSE of communism in Eastern Europe. Communists introduced free education and free healthcare for all, and the dignity of the workers grew immensely. Western European ruling classes were terrified of the revolution spreading into their countries. So they made sure that their people not only got what people had in socialist countries but even more than that. That wasn't because the ruling classes became less selfish, but because they were scared. And the moment communism was defeated in Europe, the process of rolling back the rights and material assets began.
A similar big library was built by the Buddhists in India at the old city of Nalanda (near the city of modern day Rajgir). It is alleged that this 9-storey library was set on fire by Bakhtiar Khilji around 1192AD.
Yes! The educational system for the last 40 years has been teaching to specialization, asking industry what they want schools to teach, and eliminating the skills of thinking, curiosity, and self-knowledge. The rise of the home schooling movement has been one answer to that. Harter schools and "gifted" programs as well. Sadly, this has also lead to the further segregation of the US population which has created the scenario we live in today.
Yes, let's uncover the hidden history of Arabs. Let's teach people the original muslim philosophers and polymaths. But when we're doing that we shouldn't eliminate history as well. As long as you don't want to come to terms with the fact that Turks lived in and ruled over that area, you'll just kid yourselves. Mentioning only Arabs or Persians and leaving out Turks contributes to deletion of history. The author of "Siyasetname" mentioned at 34:51 is Nizamulmulk was the grand vizier of Turkish Seljuk empire. Ibn Sina was a Turkish polymath from Bukhara, Uzbekistan. When Casagranda is mentioning an Arab he says Arab, when it's about a Persian he says Persian, but when it comes to Turks he just says Muslim. That annoyed me as a Turk.
Many people do not realize how poor the US healthcare system is, leading to millions of deaths because they cannot afford the necessary care. Additionally, a large portion of the world is indifferent to learning about or speaking American English. This is why many Americans are shocked to see how well other countries manage their healthcare systems.
I love that Roy used to be into punk. I can totally see that. After hearing him talk a few times I was like this dude used to be a skater, a surfer or a punk (what I was). Hell yeah.
I haven't started the talk fully yet, but the background music is so off-putting. It's like for a Marvel movie scene, but being used to introduce middle eastern politics.
Music is annoying and distracting. No need for it. This is serious talk. The music damaged the excellent video and cheapened your guest. Ask questions and talk less. Video quality is poor and frozen frames, perhaps an audio podcast would have sufficed. Not Arab, rather the Islamicate, per Hodgson. Ghazali was critical of Greek speculative philosophy, which was not science.
What does that mean “not Arab, rather Islamicate?” Ever thought of applying your same logic to European cultures? Do you describe them as “Christian?” Ever thought how one dimensional and even Zionist this type of analysis is?
There are 77 branches of Semitic-speaking people in the region. The largest population of Semites being the Arab. Interesting how the Hebrew is attempting to remove the Arab from the very definition just as they are removing the Arab from the physical geography.
The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Exploit and foster endless wars, meddle for constant dissent. *Divide-and-rule connects the dots on the timeline of history.* Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of distance from the events resulting out of the own meddling and political activities, being able to reach all the other regions, but could not be reached itself as hegemony, at any given point of a historical timeline? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. All they ever wanted was *pax,* because they said so, but who picks up the *pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains* when all the others can be avoided from uniting? *Different Empires. Different era. Same games...* ------------------------------------- The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent. _Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers..._ *Divide-and-rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games. -------------------------------------- The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours. *Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.* Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war... Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The *two-party-duopoly* is two cheeks of the same hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side". *In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet. *And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power.* In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences. America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism. Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide. *Divide and Rule.* Oldest trick in the book... Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games. THE LINK OF THE WORLD. The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide. Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances... The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams *War is a great **_divider._** It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*
Please advise Dr. Casagranda - whom I respect - to consult Dr. George Saliba's valuable, meticulous academic work on this ridiculous myth about Ghazali being a/ the cause for the stagnation of the Muslim mind in his supposedly anti-philosophical approach.
Agree. Roy is clearly very knowledgeable, but this specific area is not his best. Ghazals did not criticize the science. He was critical of the philosophers' fascination with Socrotes' debate about God. I think Orientalists /Westerner historeans use this debate about Ghazali in an attempt to say that focusing on religious knowledge is the reason why Muslim civilisation took a backwards turn. Which is a very unfair argument.
49:20 correction brother please read about "sultan jalaludeen alkhwarizmy"who handed a crushing defeat to the mongols in Afghanistan near kabul somewhere between 1215-1220 in the lifetime of chengez khan
People aren't utilitarian, they do not lack a purpose, they have to choose between dreams and food. Rationally they choose food. To judge those in existential circumstances you need to be speaking from privilege
I understand what you mean as I have been myself in struggling situations many times. However, I think you engage here a bit into a false dilemma. I would say that under the current state of circumstances, most people are persuaded to believe that they have only these two options, while considering having both ways as a privilege. But we all know that this is not the only view that exists. Only when you consider that absurd dilemma for what it is, namely false, then you understand that it is not a fact of life but essentially an unjust state of affairs that can be contested. And when this usually happens in history, it is not primarily people with privileges who speak out. Things change because struggling people say enough. And this has happened many times in history. Now, don't get me wrong. Believing that we only have either dreams or food can be many times due to real, excruciating circumstances, but at the same, and most of the, time is a choice.
Professor Roy Casagrada needs bigger platforms to educate people, such an honor to listen to him, thanks to u'r podcast for making it possible
Austin school
Great guy professor!
*CORRECTION: You call "Persian" scientists, as "Arab-Persian"!*
*Or you call "Persian" scientists, "Non-Arab Muslims", is wrong too, because for ex Turks were also "Non-Arab Muslims", but those scientists are not Turk either.*
*There was a reason that prophet Mohammad said: Persians will acquire knowledge, even if it is in China (which was the furthest land).*
I completely agree with you. I saw some of his lectures and was amazed of them.
Unfortunately, I’m not good at English. Those lectures was translated into Russian, but it was few. I would leaven much more from Roy Casagranda
Professor Roy should be on more podcasts he has so much to share I’m actually surprised we don’t see him more
Amazing...I wish I knew of Professor Casagranda when teaching my cultural anthropology classes. This is quite amazing as to how much Arabic influence in general knowledge, science and history has been totally shut away by Europeans.
This opera of erasing and eradicating the knowledge and the heritage of the Arabs, Persians and generally Muslims, which has inriched all the west civilization, started with the Crusades, but takes his peak during the Reconquista and became stable in the Inquisition. From there, the roots of the Islamophobia were deep planted, so much so, that, unfortunately, many of European “great figures” preferred to plagiarize the Islamic knowledge, instead of used as base to advance.❤
Words are not enough to convey my Respect and Gratitude for Professor Roy Casagranda a True Legend who will never know the Extent, or the Ripple effects of his Work and his Passion on Millions around the world...
appreciate you sharing this! It's time we talked about the "uncomfortable facts" that have been shunned (for a reason, many reasons actually) by western ideologies and practices. Mr Casgranda on the show was a great choice! Indeed, Truth shall prevail.
And having said that we must remember the idea of the winner rites the story until a real and honest writer comes along and I'm this case professor casa grande with the knowledge and a. Clear mind
Dr.Casablanca has one of the Greatest minds in history! He is up there with Plato & Chomsky!
Thank you both for your programme!
Most sincerely Michael Foley 🤔
It is Casagranda.
Chomsky sucks
@@Charlie-502That's your opinion, which is far from universal l
@andreselectrico it doesn't matter if it's universal. It's true
@@Charlie-502 No because you say so. Why do you say so?
Always a pleasure to listen To Dr Roy.. i think Andalusia and the reconquista is a perfect example to resume the subject, the way the spanish erased 800 years of history, i think the crusades continued in different forms, after the fall of Andalusia the clash moved to North Africa which led to the french colonization of Algeria in a form of a reconquista and a modern crusade and that isolated the ottoman empire
I’ve been following Dr. Roy Casagranda for awhile. Thanks for doing this. You did a great job moderating a conversation, don’t listen to criticism from those who could not have done better.
: Dr. Roy Casagranda is phenomenal.
❦
This was an absolutely fascinating, informative
and highly enlightening interview, of an
incredibly knowledgeable and well versed
scholar of the Middle East!!! It was a real
pleasure to learn of the profound advances
made by a people and a region, largely
overlooked and often ignored by the West
Clearly, many of the advances that occurred
in the West, were pre-dated by those in the
Arab and Muslim world, by many hundreds
of years. Incredible that so many of their
contributions have been largely ignored
by the West, for so long!
Thank you for inviting this brilliant
scholar on to your pidcast as a guest.
We are all far better informed about the
contributions that the Muslim and Arab
world have been responsible for, over
many hundreds of years. One can only
wonder how much more advanced the
world would be today, had their many
contributions not been overlooked or
ignored, for so long. I look forward to
viewing the Followup interview of this
wise and brilliant man!
Thank you for bringing Dr Roy into this discussion, his knowledge allows for a very interesting and much needed perspective
*Professor Roy Casagrada, such a great man of knowledge!* 👏👏👏
Maybe you should not have all this background music. This is not intertainment, but serious subjects to be heared and reflected upon by people. Thank you for this great talk with this great historian.
Roy is a political scientist not an historian
@@dudleybarker2273compared to those western propagandists
Hes a real historian
@@ryojs4286 yes, but he's a political scientist not a historian - he tell you so himself a number of times and also makes the distinction between the two clear
He has taught hsitory... so he is a bit of both. End of story.
@@anonymouscommentsshis CV is online, read it for your self - it says PolSci all over the place - he teaches history through the lens of PolSci, which is very different from straight history (which you would know if you bothered to look up the difference) - the story doesn't end where you say it ends, friend - it ends when you get your facts straight
He is Harry Potter of History subject, he always just take out some gold dust from the pocket and blow on us every time he speaks. Thank you sir this too will be in history.
This right here❤️
Love listening to the professor. I have been doing so for years. Love any new content 🫡
“Who controls the past, controls the future. Who controls the presence, controls the past.”
Thks, I'm from South Americs.We need this
Certainly, particularly in our continent.
Thank you for the best choice to invite Prof Roy.
Please don't be offended could you kindly use high speed fibre internet for best connectivity & avoid freezing video....
Looking forward to the next level of discussion to Prof Roy.
Not sure high speed fiber internet was part of the payloads Israelis dropped during the last 2 months -- or that it'd please them, to start with. Same in 2006, 1996, 1982 or even back in 1969.
Looking forward to part 2..ignore the negative comments. This is an excellent leaning episode 👍
And we all just ran with the story of "an apple falling on newton" and that's how he figured out gravity
The purpose of inviting a guest is to let them do the talking.
I fully and respectfully agree. This would be my only critique of the show. Most of us could listen to this highly knowledgeable guy for hours, and it would still be a great show, cause his talk is engaging and interesting.
I understand the host has her questions and probably also the need to demarcate her territory (it is her show after all), but in my view she overdoes it. Too many interruptions, too long an introduction and too many soliloquies. The interviewee is the prize! Please let him talk and expand.
This is a respectful, and meant to be a constructive, critique of the show. Overall, I found it to be a great show, and her choice of subject and guest has been very fortunate.
@andreselectrico couldn't have said it better myself.
😂😂
????
Not if u are female. 🤔
He should have his own podcast!!! Maybe someone in Dubai can make it happen!
A point that the professor also briefly mentioned is that although many of these scientists are Muslims, they are non-Arabs. And many are located in the geography of ancient Iran (a region from Afghanistan to Iraq).
After Islam entered Iran, they considered Arabic to be the language of the Quran, which is very sacred, so they published their works in Arabic. In fact, the background and scientific reference of Muslim scientists in this geography goes back to the Persians. Many of them had memorized the Quran, and the most famous poet, named "Hafiz", becuase he had memorized the Quran with fourteen narrations. Also, during the Mongol invasion, the largest Iranian library in Baghdad was burned (Baghdad was the scientific center of Iranians and for a time it was the place where most Iranian kings were crowned). And the Mongols converted to Islam in Iran and became the rulers of Iran for a period.
Roy, when are we getting another lecture!? Have been waiting for months now
Me too.
a hope for our Professor Roy Casagranda . the young men are filled will ambition to be again the first on the wolrd on research and develpoment
Great interview, but would appreciate a shorter intro and less filler. Time is at a premium in our world, and some will not watch if the video doesn't get quickly to the point. That would be a loss for everyone.
How about just fast forwarding? Or maybe play it at double speed or one and a half speed?
Also, If your time comes at such a 'premium', you wouldn't be spending it watching UA-cam videos😂
More than 10 minutes of verbosity without even approaching the subject ... I agree that it is a good idea to use the time to focus on the actual subject in the title of the video.
Advice: go to the transcript and scroll through to find the actual subject that made you click on this video.
I love this man so much, thanks for expanding my knowledge.
Thank you for this podcast episode. First time here, subscribed because of Casagranda and your voice. However, 15min into this episode I found myself increasingly annoyed to the point of stopping to listen. That excruciatingly long intro with info about yourself, that music, those cuts, those long comments when interrupting Casagranda that don't add anything interesting... 15min into the episode and all Casagranda has been able to say is that he has moved to Dubai; the rest is you talking. I hope I am not sounding harsh. I can't listen anymore but I will give the second part with Casagranda another chance.
Respectfully, I am here to listen to Mr Casagrande, please let the very special guest speak
Dear lady, this could be much better discussed and focused-on by the audience without the darned music backing. Please loose the music at least for the 2nd part, and consider re uploading this part without the backing track.
I would also like to respectfully recommend not using the voice filter that makes it sound like she is speaking in a tunnel.
Found him about a year ago and i can't get enough. Thank you, I'm hooked and subscribed ❤❤
He has a channel
Thank you for this great talk , few things I thought might be good to share, of all I love the way you talk the sense of calmness in your voice and the language, and when I listen to Dr Roy the way he speaks and takes you into different layers in time and you feel and relive the moments I understand that is your show and you engage in the conversation sometimes adding something sometimes confirming like many other podcasts but when we want to experience and bring that moment of history to life I guess less jumping and breaking into each others ,so distractive . And drama music it’s too much little bit at the beginning and end is enough, all I learned in this one hour was basically just the title with a bit of music I haven’t saw Dr Roy’s lectures before I might of just pass the video after 5 min which I’m sure you have the potential and knowledge to deliver your thoughts and have an effect , please let Dr Roy tell the story without cutting it off the you summarise it and bring us back in the moment with your beautiful narrative,
Thank you from bringing Dr Roy Casagranda in to this Podcast. Dr Roy is one of the very few unbiased Historians of our times in this world . Dr. Roy please keep uploading your latest videos on You tube which I make a point to hear every morning . Thank you once again for this Podcast
Thank so much for this podcast. Professor Casagranda has so much knowledge about history that it needs to be shared with the public which is for the most part ignorant about these facts.
Love Roy. But i had to say forward 16 mins!!!!!! To get to hear him talk about history
Great to see Prof Roy.
It's criminal how you cut Dr Roy and that strange music is pain to ears!
A mUch needen Podcast ✨👌🏽
Excellent show ❤- have been listening to Dr. Roy for quite some time.
Suggestion: Always in the end get books recommendations. For example Dr. Roy & people like him are in unique position to get people started. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
If you would ever get started I might listen.
Thanks both of you
RESPECT to both of you!
music is too loud
I would highly advise the professor to re-read the incoherence of the philosophers. Ghazali is not anti-science and philosophy, he's actually a genius. He's anti following philosophy as a moral guide
I don't think men were meant to sit behind desks all day. Watching Ertuğrul and seeing the, okay dramatized, camaraderie among males, ...I don't think industrialization has been good for humanity, for families, for men, women and children.
Brilliant talk
If you let good books be your source of knowledge and not TV and other media, you can readily find this historical info. I grew up generally knowing this. We have gradually become passive, incurious and dependent on the media and on those who know very little about history, etc! And voila..we are ignorant!!
Part two please ❤
Great stuff
The world is a sharing space, and you guys are proven that
He brought up the subject of why the middle eastern people haven't tried to uphold their past and write and remind people about it. We'll as an Iranian let me tell you that the middle eastern people were so belittled and emptied of self belief by the puppet rulers imposed on us by the west such as the Shah of iran that I as a youngster I would be laughed at if I said something positive about our glorious past. To the extent that there wasn't a day when you wouldn't hear remarks like "we Iranians cannot even make a needle " or "the only thing that we can make is babies" and the likes of this. These devoiding narratives were promoted by the official line of puppet rulers that were imposed on us by the western colonizers. But since the Iranian revolution when the chain of these puppets was broken we have been going in leaps and bound towards achieving the position that we really deserve. Even now through sanctions and thousand other means the west is in full gear to stop us by calling us terrorists and such. Maybe the doctor will get to these points in his next lecture.
Thank you so much Daizy Gedeon! The irony lies in the fact that this type of knowledge has existed in the Islamic world for quite some time, as we have taken pride in the accomplishments of our predecessors. However, it seems that it requires individuals of Western or European descent to convey this knowledge to their peers for it to be acknowledged and accepted globally (I wonder why?). Otherwise, such knowledge would likely be dismissed as mere "conspiracy theory" or alike.
College is the biggest waste of time and resources… like therapy… paying someone to pretend to care is just not what anyone needs.
I saw one of his lectures online about Khalid ibn Al Walid.
I liked this interview too
But I have one thing to point out is how he portrayed Al ghazali Al regressive and ibn rochd as progressive while if you actually read their respective books it's the total opposite.
Ibn roshd basically follows Greek philosophy blindly including believing some outdated cosmology without proof while Al Ghazali pointed how the followers of Greek philosophers in the Arab or Muslim world were merely blind imitators who failed to apply logic properly or research facts and he actually had a more modern cosmology and physics and if you aren't convinced just research ashaari atomism vs platonism
Outstanding piece of podcast. Absolutely amazing
*There was a reason that prophet Mohammad said: Persians will acquire knowledge, even if it is in China (which was the furthest land).*
Amazing Amazing and informative . Many thanks for both of you ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
COVID wasn't an awakening, it was an ignitor and it unleashed everyone's obsessive thoughts. When people stop obsessing over they own victimhood they will start growing.
Please make the music is less noise. It covers your voice and words,
See this weird timeline you need to aware of:
- Jacob Askowith and his son Charles designed the “flag of Judah,” which was displayed on July 20, 1891, at the hall of the B’nai Zion Educational Society in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.
- 1st World Zionist Congress was in 1897.
Much earlier than Nazism. Israel Flag introduced on this congress, with 2 blue stripes represent Nile and Euphrate, The Greater Israel borderplan.
- 3rd World Zionist Congress in 1899 set their goal for Colonization Of Palestine.
- Balfour declaration in 1917, arthur balfour was "giving" palestine to Lord Rothschilds so arthur can get rid of common jews that he hated so much. Arthur Balfour was actually anti-jews. That year, Hitler was just a corporal. Palestine occupation has nothing to do with holocaust which happened 1933-1945.
- Irgun Terrorist gang militant started to kill palestinian natives, did riot in palestinian neighbourhood in 1931, two years before the holocaust, before hitler's reign.
Dr. Roy is one of handful people that I feel awkward, if I skipped part of their talks\lectures .
They didn't bother to HIDE it from us; WE never bothered to read it.
Very informstive. I am glad i came across tbus video. The questions were well prrpared. Thank you very much. ❤
Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation🙏Palestine is an area of more than 27 thousand square kilometers and is on the borders of Egypt and Jordan, which historically is part of Palestine and the people of Jordan, more than 70 percent of whom are of Palestinian origin, but Britain made them a state and brought agents to the Jordanian ruling dynasty in order to rule Jordan and protect the occupation from the Jordanian-Palestinian people Palestine Its capital, Jerusalem, is the land of the Palestinian people for tens of thousands of years. It is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it is the third holiest place for us Muslims. It is a land where most of God’s prophets lived, were born, and died. It is the holy and blessed land and the land of the Palestinian and Arab people. Muslims, Jews, and Christians lived there for thousands of years as neighbors and brothers before the Zionists occupied our land. Britain brought them in the Balfour Declaration to occupy our land. Those who committed the Holocaust against the Jews were the Germans and the West, not me.🙏🙏🙏
For me as a Christian it’s sad to see what the world is going through. It hurts me to see lives being hurt on all sides of the conflict in the Middle East or any lives being hurt anywhere in the world. We’re all one people in the world who came from Adam and Eve, we’re all created equal.
Jesus is God. The Bible covers the entire history of the Earth from the first man and the earth God created (in the book of Genesis) to when Jesus returns to the earth and rules for 1,000years (in the book of Revelations).
If you look into this you’ll find that the Bible/Jewish Religion/Christianity are all older than the Muslim religion. The false prophet muhammad wasn’t around until after Jesus already came and did his work on the earth (dying on the cross for the sins of the world) giving birth to the first Christians in around the year 30-33ad when he was crucified. Jesus was born from a virgin with God being his father and a star marking the place of his birth and 3 kings from the east were able to follow that star all the way to the baby Jesus and left him gifts fit for a king because they saw the star as a sign from God. That’s not just a coincidence. There are also prophecies in the Bible given hundreds and thousands of years before Jesus was born saying exactly what would happen. There was no divine intervention from God concerning the birth of muhammad.
Muslims widely believe that Jesus was a real person and is a prophet but they say don’t believe that he is God and can forgive us of our sins. But with this in mind according to the Bible a true prophet cannot lie so Jesus would not qualify as a prophet if he told lies. We as Christian’s know that Jesus is sinless, so it is a fact, that Jesus words are true in John 10:30 when he says “I and my Father are one”. Jesus words in John 3:16-17 are also true “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
John 3:16-18 KJV
The Bible teaches that every man is sinful and incapable of earning eternal life in Heaven and God’s forgiveness. The Bible says “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/eph.2.8-9.KJV
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
Romans 5:8-9 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/rom.5.8-9.KJV
The Bible tells us if we believe this we will be saved and enter into to heaven when we die. Jesus is God, who came from Heaven to Earth and died on the cross as a payment for our sins so that we wouldn’t have to pay for our sins, and after dying on the cross he was resurrected on the 3rd day, and if you accept his gift by believing in Jesus he will gift you eternal salvation. God wants you to receive his gift of eternal salvation through Jesus, not earn it through our work, it’s a gift. But any work we do after we are saved in Jesus we will be greatly rewarded for in Heaven.
“that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:9-13 KJV
bible.com/bible/1/rom.10.9-13.KJV
Please adjust the volume of your intro music. Otherwise, your video is great and I’m pleased you interviewed Dr. Casagranda.
Thx a Lot Daizy, you have an excellent guest. Also Thx to Dr. Roy Casagranda he is doing an grat job.
Love Roy Casagranda. Great interview. But Imam Al Ghazali was no idiot, he was a unique mind!
Love listening to Dr. Casagranda!!!
❤ It's always fascinating listening to RC
They forgot to change the name “Algebra & Algorithm” to hide Arabic sounding mathematicians and engineers.
Most comes from Ancient Greek, India, Iraq, from before centuries
And Alaska and Alabama.
Ottomanis had no chance to compete with Europe's brutality, pounder and their slave armies from all around world. First thing It's not that they didnt know how to colonize and steal it is because they were muslims and they didnt even consider. I respect professor a lot but he need to read Gazali again ın deep. His Philosophy not understood and ignored.
You are hateful, delusional and ignorant. You should study the history of the ottoman empire and slavery and learn humility.
I think in English we can't say "his philosophy" for ghazali because he had a lot of anti-philosophy and would dislike it. but we would have to say "his world view" or "his narrative" and "his methodologies" and such
Yup absolutely. They were naïve, incapable and incompetent . So much so while they’re erecting enormous walls to safeguard the Holly City from external threats they were unaware of internal threats coming from their own subjects . At the end they had to withdraw leaving 400 years of memories behind surrendering the key of Jerusalem to the Zionist/Anglophones in 1917
24:42 Isaac Newton once famously said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.' There is no record of who those giants were, most likely because they were Islamic scientists like al-Haytham.

Great guest and good questions
Ya Allah madad
What people don't realise is that during the decades after WW2 Western Europe offered a good life to the average citizen BECAUSE of communism in Eastern Europe. Communists introduced free education and free healthcare for all, and the dignity of the workers grew immensely. Western European ruling classes were terrified of the revolution spreading into their countries. So they made sure that their people not only got what people had in socialist countries but even more than that. That wasn't because the ruling classes became less selfish, but because they were scared. And the moment communism was defeated in Europe, the process of rolling back the rights and material assets began.
Daily, thanks for the longest intro in history.
I agree that the music is distracting. Great info, though.
A similar big library was built by the Buddhists in India at the old city of Nalanda (near the city of modern day Rajgir). It is alleged that this 9-storey library was set on fire by Bakhtiar Khilji around 1192AD.
Yes! The educational system for the last 40 years has been teaching to specialization, asking industry what they want schools to teach, and eliminating the skills of thinking, curiosity, and self-knowledge. The rise of the home schooling movement has been one answer to that. Harter schools and "gifted" programs as well. Sadly, this has also lead to the further segregation of the US population which has created the scenario we live in today.
Yes, let's uncover the hidden history of Arabs. Let's teach people the original muslim philosophers and polymaths. But when we're doing that we shouldn't eliminate history as well. As long as you don't want to come to terms with the fact that Turks lived in and ruled over that area, you'll just kid yourselves. Mentioning only Arabs or Persians and leaving out Turks contributes to deletion of history. The author of "Siyasetname" mentioned at 34:51 is Nizamulmulk was the grand vizier of Turkish Seljuk empire. Ibn Sina was a Turkish polymath from Bukhara, Uzbekistan. When Casagranda is mentioning an Arab he says Arab, when it's about a Persian he says Persian, but when it comes to Turks he just says Muslim. That annoyed me as a Turk.
Thanks for sharing
thanks for the truth,
Thanks a lot dear professor!!!
Dr. Roy is a world treasure.
Many people do not realize how poor the US healthcare system is, leading to millions of deaths because they cannot afford the necessary care. Additionally, a large portion of the world is indifferent to learning about or speaking American English. This is why many Americans are shocked to see how well other countries manage their healthcare systems.
Way too much advertisement. The discussion was totally chopped up with interruptions
I love that Roy used to be into punk. I can totally see that. After hearing him talk a few times I was like this dude used to be a skater, a surfer or a punk (what I was). Hell yeah.
I haven't started the talk fully yet, but the background music is so off-putting. It's like for a Marvel movie scene, but being used to introduce middle eastern politics.
Get rid of the music from your podcast. It ruins and disturbs the message and its content. Thank you for having Dr Roy Casagranda.
Are you shadow banned on Facebook? Can’t find there!
Fellow austinite! I wish my son had had your classes when he was at ACC!
Music is annoying and distracting. No need for it. This is serious talk. The music damaged the excellent video and cheapened your guest.
Ask questions and talk less.
Video quality is poor and frozen frames, perhaps an audio podcast would have sufficed.
Not Arab, rather the Islamicate, per Hodgson.
Ghazali was critical of Greek speculative philosophy, which was not science.
What does that mean “not Arab, rather Islamicate?” Ever thought of applying your same logic to European cultures? Do you describe them as “Christian?” Ever thought how one dimensional and even Zionist this type of analysis is?
Unfortunately the quality of the video It’s too bad .
I recommend watching the documentary called: The Great Book Robbery
There are 77 branches of Semitic-speaking people in the region. The largest population of Semites being the Arab. Interesting how the Hebrew is attempting to remove the Arab from the very definition just as they are removing the Arab from the physical geography.
Daisy , your absolutely gorgeous. And thank you for your channel. People need to hear the truth.
The people of the Greater Middle East, including the Levant (most of whom are Semites, and the followers of Abrahamic religions) have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. *Because it is easier to divide people based on personal differences, than it is to unite them, based on what they have in common.* Strategically ambiguous outsiders make use of this, for own advantages. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople, then during WW1 the seat of POWER playing these games changed to London/Paris (Sykes-Picot/Balfour Declaration/WW1), then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, starting around the time a bark by Washington DC in 1956 (Suez Crisis/War) showed who the new boss was, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC (the entire ME was the playground during the Cold War). Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the ME, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. Today, their leaders are ALL tools. Draw lines on the map without asking any of those affected. Exploit and foster endless wars, meddle for constant dissent.
*Divide-and-rule connects the dots on the timeline of history.*
Who has had (in all historical cases in the ME/Levant) the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of distance from the events resulting out of the own meddling and political activities, being able to reach all the other regions, but could not be reached itself as hegemony, at any given point of a historical timeline? Pax Romana, Rome. Pax Britannica, London. Pax Americana, Washington DC. All they ever wanted was *pax,* because they said so, but who picks up the *pieces of great wealth and the systemic gains* when all the others can be avoided from uniting?
*Different Empires. Different era. Same games...*
-------------------------------------
The people of the Africa have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. Tribalism makes it easy to divide people, then keep them poor under the "kind foot" of exploitation. In the era of empires, first Rome/Constantinople in North Africa, then during the era of Western imperialism the seat of POWER playing these games changed to the USA/Europe, then after the 1950's as European colonialism's power decreased, Africa was the playground during the Cold War. Once the dividers had reached peak power for themselves, by simply drawing lines on the map without asking any of those affected (Congo Conference/1884) the own systems of gain could siphon off wealth like a giant vacuum cleaner. The intention was simply to avoid unity in Africa, in order to _rule over the dissent_ which is classical divide-and-rule. During the Cold War, Moscow took on the role of arming the resistance to the colonial dividers. Today, all African dissenters fighting against unity, including some of Africa's own greedy corrupt leaders, are ALL tools. Endless wars, constant dissent.
_Give the weak mind money, and they will dance for the outside dividers..._
*Divide-and-rule.*
Oldest trick in the book...
Different people and systems. Different places on the map. Same games.
--------------------------------------
The people of the Americas, including the USA, have been divided and ruled over by outsiders for centuries. In the beginning stages of era of European Imperialism, first Spain and Portugal entered the Americas, employing the divide-and-rule technique of top-down power on the local systems (Aztecs/Incas), and as European colonial powers' influence decreased during the 19th century, the role of divider was simply taken over by Washington DC. As the own power increased incrementally, the entire world became the playground after around 1900. Today, it is the globalists who employ imperialist tools to play divide-and-rule games on their neighbours.
*Forget nukes. The divide-and-control/rule/conquer strategy is the most powerful force on the planet, because it can be employed equally in times of peace to CONTROL, in times of crises to RULE, and in times of war to CONQUER.*
Ever since the two-faced snake slithered down that tree of unity (fable), speaking out of both sides of the mouth (lies, deceit), the wisest human beings have fruitlessly warned, and the easily divisable have continuously been warned against divisions within a peaceful status quo. When you bow to the division caused by deception, you will lose the good life..."and much that once was, is lost; for none now live who remember it." Such divisions create GAIN for OUTSIDERS (Eden as a system divided by lies and deceit).
Now the intention is simply to avoid unity in the Americas, in order to rule over the dissent which is classical divide-and-rule. Endless wars on anything and everything from "drugs" to "terror" (sic.), constant dissent with everything's a war war war...
Insert levers of lies, mistrust. The *two-party-duopoly* is two cheeks of the same hind which set out to create favourites: Favouritism, by granting access to the own POWER/WEALTH, to those who volunteer to act as proxies and extensions for the own power projection. The small picture lives of domestic political chaos, of the big picture reality of international insanity. Point the systemic (MSM) finger, everywhere else, by use of the own paid stooges of power by presenting their deep state-orchestrated three-letter-agency astroturfed violence on multiple tiers as being the reactions of "the poor oppressed people, who need our help for freedom and democracy" (sic.). Liars, deceivers, creators of the BLACK LEGEND for the "other side".
*In February 1948, George F. Kennan's Policy Planning Staff said: "[W]e have about 50% of the world's wealth but only 6.3% of its population. ... Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity."* Kennan: A prototype GLOBALIST. And that is what they did to increase their own wealth. Set up people against each other, then siphon off the wealth of entire regions of the planet.
*And that is what you are fighting for. That is what the hegemon has always done, pretending to be the "good pax", but playing "good cop/bad cop" with the world, from a position of power.* In the past, the "good cops" were the INTERNATIONALISTS, and the "bad cops" were the IMPERIALISTS. In the present that has morphed into the "good cops" being the GLOBALISTS/NEOLIBS, and the "bad cops" being the NEOCONS. Name-branding and doublespeak for the slumberland plebs, enchanted by their "bread-and-circuses"-existences.
America's friends and self-proclaimed default rivals in Eurasia are still being burnt to ensure this disparity continues, with a (quote) "pattern of relationships" which are beneficial to the own rule. Set up European and Eurasian nations (including the Middle East/North Africa) against each other. It is how divide-and-rule is implemented. The imperialist playbook of Great Britain and the USA for more than 100 years. Read Halford Mackinder (Pivot of History, 1904) and Zbigniew Brzezinski (Grand Chessboard, 1997) regarding Eurasia for the template. Read W.T. Stead (Americanization of the World, 1901) for the guideline of political-, cultural- and economic capture. Read Smedley-Butler (War is a Racket) for the modus operandi of imperialism/militarism.
Some say Europe is a divine goddess. I say, it is a humble apple tree, from an allegory as old as modern civilizations, because it is easy to divide.
*Divide and Rule.*
Oldest trick in the book...
Four corners of the globe. Different cultures and religions. Same games.
THE LINK OF THE WORLD.
The entire system they favor in the USA/collective West is based on a pre-set *managed and moderated division,* for the benefit of a very few at the top of the pyramids accompanied by the often-repeated nice-sounding storyline. Create the script of the own heroes. Their entire scripted money-funded history sounds like a Hollywood superhero movie that sounds too good to be true. Guess what? It is. It is what they are NOT telling you, that they try to hide.
Who wields the POWER? Who has had the GEOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE of being able to reach all the other little buck catchers (tools, and other Roman-era style instruments of POWER), but could not be reached itself, because of a geographical-, technological-, organizational-, military-, strategic-, political advantage at any given point of a historical timeline? Create the default rival/enemy on their own marching routes. It is usually the power most likely to succeed which is determined as the default rival/enemy. Notice how, as soon as a rival starts mass-producing products high up in the value chain of capitalism, and starts vying for markets, and becomes successful, it immediately becomes the systemic rival, and is then geopolitically encircled by the greater empire. It happened around 1900, as Germany started building high-value products, and it happened around 2000, as China started moving away from building cheap toys and labor intensive kitchen appliances...
The games start on the home turf. The first victims are their own people in the USA/collective West, locked in the eternal struggle for wealth and personal gain which they have been deceived into thinking is "good greed", but which WILL be exploited by the snakes who deceive them on the domestic tier of the divide-and-rule system of power. Because ..."most of the great problems we face are caused by politicians creating solutions to problems they created in the first place." - Walter E. Williams
*War is a great **_divider._** It goes straight through the heads of millions and billions of people from the very top tiers, right down to the individual level. War divides alignments and alliances, goes straight through organizations, divides political parties, tears through families, and finally at the very bottom tier, goes straight through individual hearts and minds as individuals struggle with themselves.*
Please advise Dr. Casagranda - whom I respect - to consult Dr. George Saliba's valuable, meticulous academic work on this ridiculous myth about Ghazali being a/ the cause for the stagnation of the Muslim mind in his supposedly anti-philosophical approach.
Agree. Roy is clearly very knowledgeable, but this specific area is not his best. Ghazals did not criticize the science. He was critical of the philosophers' fascination with Socrotes' debate about God. I think Orientalists /Westerner historeans use this debate about Ghazali in an attempt to say that focusing on religious knowledge is the reason why Muslim civilisation took a backwards turn. Which is a very unfair argument.

People aren't utilitarian, they do not lack a purpose, they have to choose between dreams and food. Rationally they choose food. To judge those in existential circumstances you need to be speaking from privilege
I understand what you mean as I have been myself in struggling situations many times. However, I think you engage here a bit into a false dilemma. I would say that under the current state of circumstances, most people are persuaded to believe that they have only these two options, while considering having both ways as a privilege. But we all know that this is not the only view that exists.
Only when you consider that absurd dilemma for what it is, namely false, then you understand that it is not a fact of life but essentially an unjust state of affairs that can be contested. And when this usually happens in history, it is not primarily people with privileges who speak out. Things change because struggling people say enough. And this has happened many times in history.
Now, don't get me wrong. Believing that we only have either dreams or food can be many times due to real, excruciating circumstances, but at the same, and most of the, time is a choice.
Listen to the era of peace claims made around 43:00 and then watch a lecture by Bill Warner.
