    I reverted to Islam January 13, 2023 and it’s been the most amazing experience and journey of my life. But just like you and I’m sure many others there was a time in my life where I succumbed to the propaganda and thought I hated Islam and Muslims. Thought it was evil and poison because I was so caught up in the real poison that I couldn’t see it any other way. And then, God lead me to the straight path and I’m so glad he did ❤️

      I was born and raised as a Muslim, then became an atheist. This was because of my anger over the 9/11 tragedy, the Bali Bombing-I, & the Bali Bombing-II.
      2 months later, after much thought, I came to believe in the existence of God, but I had not yet chosen a religion (agnostic). Then I studied all religions with their books...; Bible, Veda, Baqawat Ghita, Tripitaka, and also the Koran.
      After considering all that, I finally believed in the truth of the Koran, but many of its adherents distorted their understanding, so I returned to Islam.
      BTW...the contents of the Veda and Tripitaka are very interesting to read, many understandings are similar to Islam, even though there are differences in terms.

      @@annaonna17 while the term whiteness is mainly a social construct and problematic in a lot of ways, if we generalize it can mean people of European descent since most Europeans appear “white’” Even though a European can have dark complexions as well and still be more European than someone who is “Whiter”. However, given that Europe has had long and hard conflicts with the Islamic world and today holds a negative view of Islam, I think it’s very important to highlight white Europeans who are Muslim as a means to show that we indeed can co exist in peace. European Muslims get pressurized a lot from other Europeans as being “Traitors” and what not and let’s not forget that Muslims also have a dark history towards Europeans where they’ve sold Europeans as slaves and often fetishize Europeans. Let’s not jump on the leftist bandwagon where white men are held responsible for every little thing and are often denied their right to preserve their identity and heritage and culture without being labeled racist and what not, it’s extremely polarizing. Now you see a rise of right wing extremism all over Europe because of this. Instead, the Muslim world should ensure us European Muslims have a place in the Muslim world as well and that in turn will for sure level out white supremacy and conflict between us. Otherwise you are just putting us in an awful spot because of your hatred of whites due to colonialism and everything but understand that we also have a right to preserve our identity as does a Muslim Kurd, Turk, Berber, Sudanese, Malaysian, Palestinian etc etc. let’s normalize being a white Muslim instead of this toxic polarization and you will see even more Europeans embracing Islam and it will make this world so much better. Thank you. Salam alaykum ♥️

    I was born in culturally Muslim family, but later became liberal/atheist in my mid 20s, but close to my 30th birthday. I became super depressed and realized I was missing something hence I went on a journey to study the world religions on a deeper level. It really boiled down to Buddhism, Christianity and Islam. But ultimately Islam made the most sense to me was the whole package as it has rules/views to every aspect of life while acknowledging that we are human (flawed). Love your great work as always! :)

    Great episode! Before I was aware of the islamophobia industry, I stumbled across a book that seemed very scholarly with multiple citations. The book argued that Islam was an inherently violent religion unlike other religions, and I was briefly taken in by the lie. Luckily my mind wasn't completely closed, and I eventually found other sources and learned about the islamophobia industry. I've been supporting this program through patreon. It's a very important cause for everyone who believes in the inherent dignity and worth of humanity from all walks of life. 💚🌍

    *Islam* is an amazing religion, the more attack and lies against it by the fanatic media and haters, the stronger it becomes, and the more curious and willing people become interested to know it. Eventually, alot of those curious sincere people will embrace Islam after searching and discovering the truth. That's why Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world.

    May Allah guide you CJ to what is best for you in this and the after life.
    I was born as a Muslim and prayed daily, and took my understanding of Islam from simplistic sources. After studying Astro-Physics, Eisenstein relativity theory, big bang Black Holes ...etc. I gradually become bewildered and could not reconcile my new learned science with my what really was simplistic understanding of Islam and the Quran.
    Although I became a millionaire only 7 years after starting working but I was a misrable human being. I shared my religious doubts with my wife of 9 years. Then one day she told me that there is a speaker who will be speaking about Quran and Science; and it turned to be the scholar Zakir Naik (May Allah bless him) (this was a round 1999-2000). I listen to his lecture and he hit most of the doubts points on Islam. I bought all his tapes and I embarked on 2 years journey of studying the Quran with various sources of translations. and became after a couple of years a devout Muslim; and was longer lost and misrable spiritually.
    My study of the Quram resolved my most nagging questions beyond Astro-Phyiscs, which were: why I am here in this world? why did G-d created me? what if I did not want to be created at all? although this last one, I have not resolved 100%, but I am content nevertheless.

    CJ, your RESPECT in my eyes has increased further, just when I thought it couldn't be better. Need to learn a lot from you to cure myself. As stated earlier, I've started looking into QURAN and I'm very anxious, restless, intrigued, puzzled, emotional (most of the times), regretful and thousand other emotions at the same time. I keep asking myself: WTH was I doing all these years? This book was right under our noses, and there is only ONE not 4 like our Vedas or 18 like the Puranas or a Million like the other mythological stories of Ramayana, Mahabharatha, Krishnakatha etc. Why dint I read QURAN 10 years ago??? I see my family and community in general deeply entrenched into Hating Muslims in India. I know its like scaling the Everest to even try to explain them anything related to Islam and I may be disowned for this from my relatives, but I'm willing to take the RISK. I find myself equally adamant. I was headstrong in HATE and IGNORANCE, I'll be relentless in the pursuit of JUSTICE and TRUTH now. I've been a hardcore Islamophobe till a couple of years ago myself and your journalism has helped me open my eyes. So, thanks again, mate. You're the MAN!!
    May God - Allah bless you.

I was a little child when 9/11 happened, I have grown up in Islamophobia and looked at with suspicion in a country I was born and raised in, a country I call home because I don’t know any other home. My entire childhood and early adulthood have been spent in trying to defend myself, making others feel at “ease” and “comfortable” around me. So listening to and watching this brought all the emotions and pain out. I pray for the truth to be prevailed one day 🤲 Thank you for standing with justice and all your amazing hard work, May God continue giving you the strength and courage in reporting truth, May God always protect you 🤲

    When I first saw your videos about Islam and Muslims I thought that you were seeking attention from Muslims for showing sympathy for them, and reason why I thought so was because I have seen a lot of non Muslim individuals do so.
    BUT now, after I watched this video, I think what you are sharing with us is a genuine and solid belief that you have towards Islam.
    Thank you , and may Allah bless all of us.

    Happy Indonesian muslim here, and Glad you found your 'islamophobia 'cure' here.
    This is not an islamic country, but yes muslim is the majority here, and still officially recognized other religions and get along well with them.
    We invite you to islam ,I pray that Allah keep showing you the right path and give you hidaya to submit to Islam by your own will.
    Keep up the good work.
