A very eloquent speaker and very knowledgeable person about what she is talking about. My respect for her is immense for Karen is so insightful about my religion Islam and about my Prophet (PBUH) and so respectful and honest.
MashaAllah, thank you for letting me know more about my religion. May Allah keep blessing, using you to help us understand more, and enlightening your life.
Unbelievable how beautifully she explains about the journey Shab-E-Mehraaj. She has done a very deep and detailed study about my Religion Islam. My heartiest congratulations and Jazak Allah to Karen
Karen Armstrong and John L. Esposito are the very best writers, primarily on Islam, and other religions and their books are well-worth reading for an accurate portrayal.
I think Karen Armstrong is an example of the great historian on how in explaining something, including the History of Islam, she did objectivity (value free according to Max Webber) and not giving the moral judgement. The great and proud for you, Karen. Best regards from Bandung, Indonesia.
We shouldn't judge a question with our own background. Please consider the time he lived in (information from the internet was still relatively limited). To me, his question represented the level on which the audiences were at. He wasn't ignorant. He was curios. Which is great. There's no stupid question. The stupid one are those whp aren't willing to ask. Or who think they're smart enough...
Sura 5:48, “To you We sent the Scripture in Truth, confirming the Scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow vain desires, diverging from the Truth that has come to you. To EACH among you We have prescribed a Law and an Open Way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but His Plan is to test you in what He has given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which you dispute.” Sister Armstrong is clearly among the virtuous among all Faiths, MashaAllah. Her convent memoir is also quite beautifully told.❤️🌴 I thought the interviewer was fair-minded-not easy to interview a genius. Can’t believe some publishers had “turned down” this great spiritual and intellectual genius at some point. Mind-boggling. “When we’re looking for significance in a dark and sorrowful world”…..MashaAllah 💜🌹 “The Jews were not persecuted in the Islamic world at all…(their persecution) was a European disease.” (May we not persecute anyone for their diverse Faith).
May Allah, the al-Mighty, provide Karen Armstrong n others to the fold of Islam. The only religion ie acceded, accepted n approved by Allah, the al-Mighty.
Very ignorant interviewer. He shouldn't be allowed to present this kind of programs. On the other hand, many thanks to Karen Armstrong for the valuable information on world religions.
i am reading "The Great Transformation - The beginning of religious traditions" by Karen Armstrong, c 2000 (master geographer of the sacred) about the Axial Age 2500 BC and the Aryan origins of Zoroastrianism, which migrated to Indus valley and Iran in 1500 BC - hope i got that right
IF this interview is 2023, I am sure her conclusion will be much different as Islam is the fastest growing belief system in the world. More intellectuals and academic in the West now revert to Islam.
Brilliant Karen Armstrong gives a comprehensive talk about all three major faiths. Unfortunately, her interviewer came off as ignorant & arrogant. “Where is Mecca?” Where was Charlie Rose? This would’ve been a fascinating conversation had Charlie Rose been present.
I got the sense that the interviewer was “standing in” for the average American who is ignorant of Islam. It was like he was asking the most basic questions that his audience might ask.
Love her humility, honor, integrity, wealth of knowledge, genuine compassion, heart full of wisdom -she has so much blessedness in her and open-minded thinking, Alhumdullilah. May Allah accept all her great deeds, hard work ethic, and love for Him -and the humanity.
come on people , Brian Lamm was great interviewer, this interview took place early day of internet, He approached and conducted his interviews in this style.
She is one of the most creative honest writer who researches like an explorer. A very gifted writer. More power to her.
A very eloquent speaker and very knowledgeable person about what she is talking about.
My respect for her is immense for Karen is so insightful about my religion Islam and about my Prophet (PBUH) and so respectful and honest.
A critical researcher and creative writer. Direct and simple
MashaAllah, thank you for letting me know more about my religion.
May Allah keep blessing, using you to help us understand more, and enlightening your life.
This scholar is very knowlegeable, insightful and intelligent.
Unbelievable how beautifully she explains about the journey Shab-E-Mehraaj.
She has done a very deep and detailed study about my Religion Islam. My heartiest congratulations and Jazak Allah to Karen
Her books are a must read…esp on our beloved Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). 🇵🇸🥹🍉💚
@@irmaiz133 Why a must read? What I'm I going to learn from her books?

Unbelievable how patient she is with his questions - he is out of his depth!
that's what I'm thinking, very patient with very shallow questions
The mark of someone who has been in his position
May Allah, the al-Mighty, provide Karen Armstrong n others to the fold of Islam. The only religion ie acceded, accepted n approved by Allah, the al-Mighty.

Right
Your awesome Ms. Karen. I love your book, about History of God.
🙏😇❤️

Brilliant Interview!!
Salute the patience of the scholar.
The session seems to be more of an arrogent interrogation rather than an interview or an academic discussion.
I agree
May Allah bless you madam for your patience against this incompetent interviewer
May God bless her with hidayah
So she said the Quran Mohammad does NOT ask Christians or Jews to change religion 🤷♀️
Contradicts what Robert Spencer and Jay Smith have learnt
Spencer and Smith have zero credibility with this scholar because they know absolutely nothing ...

I agree! His questions were really not thoughtful or knowledgeable at all.

@@jacquelinearthseed76 Exactly!

It's so annoying that the interviewer keeps cutting her off... Obviously, not all that interested in her answers.
You can see he is rushing jumping to next questions to let her down n to weight down what she say significance about Islam
The prophet PBA was not a poet but he loved poetry
come on people , Brian Lamm was great interviewer, this interview took place early day of internet, He approached and conducted his interviews in this style.
Interview or interrogation?
Dont forget how the muslims helped the muslims keep safe in the 2nd world war.
right. that grand mufti of palestine worked with the fuhrer
She’s great at explaining her findings. The interviewer has no basic knowledge of anything. He didn’t really understand the book.
Very important piece of information is missing, date of this interview !
See description
Brilliant Karen Armstrong, I know more about prophet Muhammad pbuh and Islam rather from ustadz😁
Terrible interviewer, not even listening to the answers and continuously interrupting. Admire Karen’s patience with this person.
It seemed he was trying to do a crash course on religion…So many questions, she didn’t even get to talk about the book.
😢😢😢😢😢😢
A billion Muslims not Islamist. Be factual
Seriously dumb questions to a venerated scholar.
The three religions are one dear Karen and the three are called Islam.
