the reason she has so much respect and love for the religion is because she actually did some real research in Islam and the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet. People who dig into this research, they find the real image of Islam. Lesley Hazleton has the same love and admiration and she's an agnostic jew :) i love these people and i love the people who take time and effort to actually try to understand the religion and be open minded towards it. :) many respects and love to Karen and Lesley :*
i don't think so. she went to the middle-east and no one did anything to her. there's a reason why she has this perspective of muslims and Islam. If you think muslims hide in bushes and attack the first jew they see. then you're highly mistaken.
***** "outright killed in a FEW countries." mostly talking about the conflict zones. but you completely missed my point of her being treated as a second-class citizen in those countries, all islam does is cause conflict, death and force people to live under asinine laws.
***** "don't we get treated as second-class" Yes indeed that's terrible, but two wrongs don't make one right. My views are not based on what i see on TV, on the internet i saw enough public executions for trivial religious reasons in richer stable islamic counties to know how barbaric sharia/islam can be in its purest form. if sharia really had absolutely no effect on citizen that do not wish to be subjected to those laws and muslims would be free to leave their religion and abandon sharia than i'd be in favor of it, but that's clearly not the case. Co-existence is certainly possible my family has been doin business with Macedonian and Turkish muslims for all my life, and yes they are all nice people that i would love to have as my neighbor and you probably are a swell guy too whom i wouldn't have any problem with. My problem with islam is that it seems to have a high percentage of fundamentalists, and this fundamentalism is kinda tolerated by the rest if not endorsed, i mean the Bible is also filled with asinine laws and all kinds of nonsense, but the christians managed to get past that, i think that islam is in dire need of a secularization phase like what christianity experienced at the end of the dark ages. and that is why we need to be critical of islam (and any other religion that causes harm to society, hinduism/christianity included), and not claim that everything is alright with islam so that we can move forward improve our situation and become a better society and be able to co-exist.
***** "There is christian fundamentalism as well jewish fundamentalism. At the same time the Charlie Hebdo thing was happening, 2000 muslims in Nigeria was slaughtered by Christian militia chanting verses from the Bible" Completely agree the shit that happens because of christianity also needs to be pointed out. as i said a large percentage of those moderates want sharia, and they also encourage fundamentalism by saying how great pious people are. and yes i could interpret most text in all holy books to have a nice meaning and say that those laws from those ancient times were only valid for that time period, but you must understand that religions always create literalists. People like you are clearly not the problem, you clearly adhere to the live and let live philosophy and that is really great in my opinion, but many of these so called moderates want a fascistic system, for example if your holy book says that you can't eat pork, drink alcohol or have intercourse with someone of your own gender then you're free to do that and i will do my utmost to support those rights of yours, but if someone wants to impose those values on the rest of the people like ban alcohol, pork, homosexual relationships and force them to settle court cases with laws taken from the archaic period than that is not ok, even if the non-muslim group is in the minority. You are a moderate, but a huge percentage of muslims are not, and there is absolutely no reason for you to defend them, because you are clearly better than them.
Obviously Karen has a deep knowledge of what true Islam is (despite all the negative claims we are constantly bombarded with) and she has the courage and integrity to express them truthfully and honestly; it's very refreshing.
Karen the peace maker. : Long Live the Peace maker. Beautiful effort and presentation. May we all learn to make such an effort of Uniting mankind . Thanks for sharing .

TOLERANCE AND COMPASSION IN ISLAM “I invite you to submit your will to God; submit your will to God and you will be safe.” -Muhammad, to Byzantium’s Heraclius His letter to Persia’s Chosroes (Khosrau) II was similar (but was torn up in the presence of the carrier). “I wrote and advised you, so accept my advice. Peace upon those who follow the right way.” -Muhammad, to the king of Ethiopia “Whoever accepts admonition does it for his own good....Whoever wants to continue in their Jewish or Majusi [Zoroastrian] faith, should be made to pay Jizia.” -Muhammad, to Bahrain’s Munzir ibn Sawa Al Tamimi “I summon thee with the appeal of Islam: become a Moslem and thou shalt be safe.” -Muhammad, to Muqawqis (almost surely the Copts’ Patriarch of Alexandria) “Khosrau [Chosroes] will be ruined. There won’t be a Persian King after him. Caesar will be ruined. There will be no Caesar after him. You will spend their treasures in Allah’s Cause.” -Muhammad, according to Bukhari 4:52:267 “Umar sent Muslims to great countries to fight pagans. He said, ‘I intend to invade Persia and Rome.’ So, he ordered us to go to [the Persian King] Khosrau. When we reached the enemy, Khosrau’s representative came out with 40,000 warriors, saying ‘Talk to me! Who are you?’ Mughira replied, ‘We are Arabs;...our Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, ordered us to fight you till you worship Allah Alone or pay us the Jizyah tribute tax in submission. Our Prophet has informed us that our Lord says: ‘Whoever among us is killed as a martyr shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has never seen, and whoever survives shall become your master.’” -Bukhari 4:53:386 The Fez Massacre of 1465 slaughtered thousands of Jews for “Islamic honor.” Some 6,000 Jews were murdered in Morocco in 1033. A pogrom was undertaken against Jews in the Morocco of 1276. Muslims massacred Jews in Córdoba in 1011 and Granada in 1066. Jews were forced to convert to Islam in Yemen in 1165 and 1678. Synagogues were ordered destroyed there in 1676. "The Ambassador answered us that it was founded on the laws of the prophet, that it was written in their Koran that all nations who should not have acknowledged [Islam's] authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners.” -Thomas Jefferson writing about John Adams's and his encounter with the Tripolitan ambassador to London “Islam is...ferociously intolerant....Mahomet...[declared] that there is only one God, Allah, the glorious, the great....And there was to be no nonsense about toleration. You accepted Allah or you had your throat cut by someone who did accept him, and who went to Paradise for having sent you to Hell.” -George Bernard Shaw, 1933 “Yeh I do blindly follow Muhammed and I named my self after him if you were caught by my hand there is only 2 option for you accept Islam or war with me.” -UA-cam’s Muhammed Nader “Become muslim or die its as simple As that.

Tolerance and Compassion in Islam -and in the people in the west .. i love the west people ..thanks my maker peace karen . put like if say the fact.please
Honest to God, Allah rightly mentions in Quran. You can not please some people no matter how much you try. Leave their case to me and I will soon make them clear about what they used to differ with you. Allah says "What is beyond Truth but error" And now you will make thousands of explanations about this. But Allah clarifies about that. If you are interested I could refer you to that chapter of Quran?
SuperEROQ Judaism comes from the word Juda one of the son of Jacob (as) this si where the religion comes from and the word to call them is jewish so you assume that Noah (as) was following Juda? No, you are wrong you are the ignorant.
+chris lacock : what an intellectual & moral point you made that utterly .... made me feel so sorry what a pitiful human being you are !! May God open your heart at least be more sensible when you argue or comment......
lal mia There is no god, it's a silly story for vulnerable people like you. Re islam : it is a very honest and intellectual point that I made, if you wish to go into the details of just how bad it really is then we can discuss the canon and I will educate you. On the other hand I think you are better finding yourself a safe space in which to hide and ignore reality.
“God’s curse be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls. To deny God’s own revelation, grudging that He should reveal His bounty to whom He chooses from among His servants! They have incurred God’s most inexorable wrath. An ignominious punishment awaits the unbelievers.” Quran 2:89-2:90 “Lord…Give us victory over the unbelievers.” Quran 2:286 “Lord…give us victory over the unbelievers.” Quran 3:147 “I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.” Quran 8:12 “Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not the power so to do. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” Quran 8:59-60 “When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.” Quran 9:5 “Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.” Quran 9:73 “Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous.” Quran 9:123 “Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another…” Quran 5:51 “He that chooses a religion over Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in the world to come he will be one of the lost.” Quran 3:85 “Let not believers make friends with infidels in preference to the faithful - he that does this has nothing to hope for from Good - except in self-defense. God admonishes you to fear Him: for to God shall all return.” Quran 3:28 “Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron. “Whenever, in their anguish, they try to escape from Hell, back they shall be dragged, and will be told: ‘Taste the torment of the Conflagration!'” Quran 22:19-20 “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another.” Quran 48:29 “Those that deny Our revelations We will burn in fire. No sooner will their skins be consumed than We shall give them other skins, so that they may truly taste the scourge. God is mighty and wise.” Quran 4:56 “Believers, know that the idolaters [non-Muslims] are unclean. Let them not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year is ended.” Quran 9:28 “The unbelievers among the People of the Book [Bible] and the pagans shall burn for ever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.” Quran 98:6 Red Xxx
Red Xxx And women: Quran Quran (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also verse 4:176). In Islam, sexism is mathematically established. Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists offer creative explanations to explain why Allah felt that a man's testimony in court should be valued twice as highly as a woman's, but studies consistently show that women are actually less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they make more reliable witnesses. Quran (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]" Quran (5:6) - "And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it" Men are to rub dirt on their hands, if there is no water to purify them, following casual contact with a woman (such as shaking hands). Quran (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye. (To be fair, men are told to do the same thing in the prior verse). Quran (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..." A man has dominion over his wives' bodies as he does his land. This verse is overtly sexual. There is some dispute as to whether it is referring to the practice of anal intercourse. If this is what Muhammad meant, then it would appear to contradict what he said in Muslim (8:3365). Quran (4:3) - (Wife-to-husband ratio) "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four" Inequality by numbers. Quran (53:27) - "Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names." Angels are sublime beings, and would therefore be male. Quran (4:24) and Quran (33:50) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage. Note that the verse distinguishes wives from captives (those whom they right hand possesses). Hadith and Sira Bukhari (6:301) - "[Muhammad] said, 'Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?' They replied in the affirmative. He said, 'This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'" Bukhari (6:301) - continued - "[Muhammad said] 'Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?' The women replied in the affirmative. He said, 'This is the deficiency in her religion.'" Allah has made women deficient in the practice of their religion as well, by giving them menstrual cycles. Bukhari (2:29) - Women comprise the majority of Hell's occupants. This is important because the only women in heaven mentioned explicitly by Muhammad are the virgins who serve the sexual desires of men. (A weak Hadith, Kanz al-`ummal, 22:10, even suggests that 99% of women go to Hell). Bukhari (62:81) - "The Prophet said: "'The stipulations most entitled to be abided by are those with which you are given the right to enjoy the (women's) private parts (i.e. the stipulations of the marriage contract).'" In other words, the most important thing a woman brings to marriage is between her legs. Bukhari (62:58) - A woman presents herself in marriage to Muhammad, but he does not find her attractive, so he "donates" her on the spot to another man. Muslim (4:1039) - "A'isha said [to Muhammad]: 'You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses'" These are the words of Muhammad's favorite wife, complaining of the role assigned to women under Islam. Abu Dawud (2:704) - "...the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw." Abu Dawud (2155) - Women are compared to slaves and camels with regard to the "evil" in them. Ishaq 593 - "As for Ali, he said, 'Women are plentiful, and you can easily change one for another.'" Ali was raised as a son by Muhammad. He was also the 4th caliph. This comment was made in Muhammad's presence without a word of rebuke from him. Ishaq 593 - "From the captives of Hunayn, Allah's Messenger gave [his son-in-law] Ali a slave girl called Baytab and he gave [future Caliph] Uthman a slave girl called Zaynab and [future Caliph] Umar another." - Even in this world, Muhammad treated women like party favors, handing out enslaved women to his cronies for sex. Ibn Ishaq (693) - "Then the apostle sent Sa-d b. Zayd al-Ansari, brother of Abdu'l-Ashal with some of the captive women of Banu Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horses and weapons." Muhammad traded captured women for horses. Al-Tirmidhi 3272 - "When Allah's Messenger was asked which woman was best he replied, 'The one who pleases (her husband) when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives a command, and does not go against his wishes regarding her person or property by doing anything of which he disapproves'." Tabari VIII:117 - The fate of more captured farm wives, whom the Muslims distributed amongst themselves as sex slaves: "Dihyah had asked the Messenger for Safiyah when the Prophet chose her for himself... the Apostle traded for Safiyah by giving Dihyah her two cousins. The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims." Tabari IX:137 - "Allah granted Rayhana of the Qurayza to Muhammad as booty." Ishaq 969 - "Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons." - This same text also says that wives may be beaten for "unseemliness". Tabari Vol 9, Number 1754 - "Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals with you and
+Islamisthecultofsin you were talking about your self? you didnt even know what islam is and you never did intense research and you give opinion out of ignorance, completely clueless yes? you forgot one thing, shes honest and she is not a muslim.
CRUZEOO You don't know what Islam is. It's a violent cult with the stated goal of world domination. If you would allow yourself to think you would realize that you've been brainwashed. She's just parroting what some Muslim told her. If she had bothered to research Islam at all she would not be up there. Adam never existed so Islam just got disproved in the first minute of the video and she was too stupid to even realize it!
CRUZEOO Evolution is how we exist. Watch some videos by Richard Dawkins and other scientists. Also watch Prof. Krauss in the video "A universe from nothing".
the reason she has so much respect and love for the religion is because she actually did some real research in Islam and the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet. People who dig into this research, they find the real image of Islam. Lesley Hazleton has the same love and admiration and she's an agnostic jew :) i love these people and i love the people who take time and effort to actually try to understand the religion and be open minded towards it. :) many respects and love to Karen and Lesley :*
yeah too bad that agnostic jew in an islamic coutry with sharia would be treated like a second-class citizen or outright killed in a few countries.
i don't think so. she went to the middle-east and no one did anything to her. there's a reason why she has this perspective of muslims and Islam.
If you think muslims hide in bushes and attack the first jew they see. then you're highly mistaken.

"outright killed in a FEW countries." mostly talking about the conflict zones.
but you completely missed my point of her being treated as a second-class citizen in those countries, all islam does is cause conflict, death and force people to live under asinine laws.

Yes indeed that's terrible, but two wrongs don't make one right.

if sharia really had absolutely no effect on citizen that do not wish to be subjected to those laws and muslims would be free to leave their religion and abandon sharia than i'd be in favor of it, but that's clearly not the case.
Co-existence is certainly possible my family has been doin business with Macedonian and Turkish muslims for all my life, and yes they are all nice people that i would love to have as my neighbor and you probably are a swell guy too whom i wouldn't have any problem with.

as i said a large percentage of those moderates want sharia, and they also encourage fundamentalism by saying how great pious people are.

There is no god, it's a silly story for vulnerable people like you.
Re islam : it is a very honest and intellectual point that I made, if you wish to go into the details of just how bad it really is then we can discuss the canon and I will educate you.
On the other hand I think you are better finding yourself a safe space in which to hide and ignore reality.
and then in Medina ... not so nice anymore
Learn The Madina Convents. Its fair to everyone.
I don't think this woman read the Quo'ran.

Where does it say to kill innocent people or to act harshly towards men, women, children, non muslims?
“God’s curse be upon the infidels! Evil is that for which they have bartered away their souls. To deny God’s own revelation, grudging that He should reveal His bounty to whom He chooses from among His servants! They have incurred God’s most inexorable wrath. An ignominious punishment awaits the unbelievers.” Quran 2:89-2:90
“Lord…Give us victory over the unbelievers.” Quran 2:286
“Lord…give us victory over the unbelievers.” Quran 3:147
“I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.” Quran 8:12
“Let not the unbelievers think they will ever get away. They have not the power so to do. Muster against them all the men and cavalry at your command, so that you may strike terror into the enemy of Allah and your enemy…” Quran 8:59-60
“When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.” Quran 9:5
“Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.” Quran 9:73
“Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous.” Quran 9:123
“Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another…” Quran 5:51
“He that chooses a religion over Islam, it will not be accepted from him and in the world to come he will be one of the lost.” Quran 3:85

“Garments of fire have been prepared for the unbelievers. Scalding water shall be poured upon their heads, melting their skins and that which is in their bellies. They shall be lashed with rods of iron.

And women: Quran
Quran (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also verse 4:176). In Islam, sexism is mathematically established.
Quran (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women." Muslim apologists offer creative explanations to explain why Allah felt that a man's testimony in court should be valued twice as highly as a woman's, but studies consistently show that women are actually less likely to tell lies than men, meaning that they make more reliable witnesses.
Quran (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"
Quran (5:6) - "And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it" Men are to rub dirt on their hands, if there is no water to purify them, following casual contact with a woman (such as shaking hands).
Quran (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye. (To be fair, men are told to do the same thing in the prior verse).
Quran (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..." A man has dominion over his wives' bodies as he does his land. This verse is overtly sexual. There is some dispute as to whether it is referring to the practice of anal intercourse. If this is what Muhammad meant, then it would appear to contradict what he said in Muslim (8:3365).
Quran (4:3) - (Wife-to-husband ratio) "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four" Inequality by numbers.
Quran (53:27) - "Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names." Angels are sublime beings, and would therefore be male.
Quran (4:24) and Quran (33:50) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage. Note that the verse distinguishes wives from captives (those whom they right hand possesses).
Hadith and Sira
Bukhari (6:301) - "[Muhammad] said, 'Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?' They replied in the affirmative. He said, 'This is the deficiency in her intelligence.'"
Bukhari (6:301) - continued - "[Muhammad said] 'Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?' The women replied in the affirmative. He said, 'This is the deficiency in her religion.'" Allah has made women deficient in the practice of their religion as well, by giving them menstrual cycles.
Bukhari (2:29) - Women comprise the majority of Hell's occupants. This is important because the only women in heaven mentioned explicitly by Muhammad are the virgins who serve the sexual desires of men. (A weak Hadith, Kanz al-`ummal, 22:10, even suggests that 99% of women go to Hell).
Bukhari (62:81) - "The Prophet said: "'The stipulations most entitled to be abided by are those with which you are given the right to enjoy the (women's) private parts (i.e. the stipulations of the marriage contract).'" In other words, the most important thing a woman brings to marriage is between her legs.
Bukhari (62:58) - A woman presents herself in marriage to Muhammad, but he does not find her attractive, so he "donates" her on the spot to another man.
Muslim (4:1039) - "A'isha said [to Muhammad]: 'You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses'" These are the words of Muhammad's favorite wife, complaining of the role assigned to women under Islam.
Abu Dawud (2:704) - "...the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw."
Abu Dawud (2155) - Women are compared to slaves and camels with regard to the "evil" in them.
Ishaq 593 - "As for Ali, he said, 'Women are plentiful, and you can easily change one for another.'" Ali was raised as a son by Muhammad. He was also the 4th caliph. This comment was made in Muhammad's presence without a word of rebuke from him.
Ishaq 593 - "From the captives of Hunayn, Allah's Messenger gave [his son-in-law] Ali a slave girl called Baytab and he gave [future Caliph] Uthman a slave girl called Zaynab and [future Caliph] Umar another." - Even in this world, Muhammad treated women like party favors, handing out enslaved women to his cronies for sex.
Ibn Ishaq (693) - "Then the apostle sent Sa-d b. Zayd al-Ansari, brother of Abdu'l-Ashal with some of the captive women of Banu Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horses and weapons." Muhammad traded captured women for horses.
Al-Tirmidhi 3272 - "When Allah's Messenger was asked which woman was best he replied, 'The one who pleases (her husband) when he looks at her, obeys him when he gives a command, and does not go against his wishes regarding her person or property by doing anything of which he disapproves'."
Tabari VIII:117 - The fate of more captured farm wives, whom the Muslims distributed amongst themselves as sex slaves: "Dihyah had asked the Messenger for Safiyah when the Prophet chose her for himself... the Apostle traded for Safiyah by giving Dihyah her two cousins. The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims."
Tabari IX:137 - "Allah granted Rayhana of the Qurayza to Muhammad as booty."
Ishaq 969 - "Lay injunctions on women kindly, for they are prisoners with you having no control of their persons." - This same text also says that wives may be beaten for "unseemliness".
Tabari Vol 9, Number 1754 - "Treat women well, for they are [like] domestic animals with you and
This lady is completely clueless. Unbelievable!
+Islamisthecultofsin you were talking about your self? you didnt even know what islam is and you never did intense research and you give opinion out of ignorance, completely clueless yes? you forgot one thing, shes honest and she is not a muslim.
CRUZEOO You don't know what Islam is. It's a violent cult with the stated goal of world domination. If you would allow yourself to think you would realize that you've been brainwashed.
She's just parroting what some Muslim told her. If she had bothered to research Islam at all she would not be up there.
Adam never existed so Islam just got disproved in the first minute of the video and she was too stupid to even realize it!
+Islamisthecultofsin adam never existed??? then how are u existed?
CRUZEOO Evolution is how we exist. Watch some videos by Richard Dawkins and other scientists. Also watch Prof. Krauss in the video "A universe from nothing".
Islamisthecultofsin when u said 'evolution is how we exist' what actually do u mean? the evolution created us?
