Love seeing y'all react to all things America! In America, many religions co-exist together. It may not always be nice, but we aren't violent towards one another. I wish y'all would break down Islam through your eyes. Many Americans have one view of Islam and it unfortunately comes from Islamic terrorist videos from ISIS and the Taliban. We think of the beheadings of people for blasphemy, the drowning of prisoners in cages, the killing of gays, or the un-fair treatment of women. But, I know that those people are a small percentage of Muslims. To understand how y'all view Islam would be amazing! Keep doing what you're doing!
Just like the example he talked about in France. The teacher was beheaded by Muslims living in France. That is what most western countries see and hear in regards in Islam. We need your perspective! I'd love to ask you questions if your ever open to it!
we love to but we are not scholars we will recommend this young muslim scholar he will answer any question you like when he goes live on youtube , the channel name is (The Muslim Lantern) and you can also watch his video they are the best.
Most Americans don't have issues with Islam we have issues with the extremists there's a difference. And we have problems with some of the things they do like you know marrying underage women but I'm almost positive that's just for the extremist. I could be wrong but I like to think only the extremists do that.
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Kate Elizabeth Becherer) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
My brother has often said some of his most loyal and trusted marines not to mention real life friends were Muslim and or of a Muslim heritage. Us humans are so much alike yet our governments and so called “leaders” insist on making us fight and kill each other.
There's new information about what was really going on, that's been coming out recently. Whistleblowers are coming forward and speaking up. I pray for their safety.
Yes, I read Valerie Plame's book, Fair Game. Her husband was the man the US sent in to ascertain if Iraq had WMD. He told them they didn't, but they found some lame yellowcake excuse, and then he publicly exposed their lie and they went after him for it. Very interesting book. But you can dig even deeper. There is an interview with Aaron Russo where he talks to Alex Jones about his prior friendship with a member of the Rockefeller family, Nick Rockefeller. Aaron was told by him about a decade or so prior to the event, that they were planning the things that transpired in the war in the middle east. You'll have to find the interview, because if I go into more detail, this comment will perhaps not be seen.
To be honest a majority of Americans don't know much about Judaism either. We were however exposed to teachings about the holocaust during school. This was a great video, thank you for sharing :)
As an agnostic non-believer, I am completely fine with anyone having their religions beliefs, just as long as they respect and not belittle the non-believers.
Uh, that areas not been very peaceful as of late. Like the flag bans they tried instituting, because if you can't get rid of just the rainbow flag, why not get rid of all of them!? That didn't turn out so well.
@@REALAMERICANMAN531 Add something of value. Yes peace DA. Are people deleting each other in the streets like other countries? Have you seen other countries?
@dabbadoo2226 I grew up Catholic in an all Jewish neighborhood lots of neighbors with tattoos from concentration camps lived in Dearborn with an open mind. The people were very conservative and showed nothing but love. I am very thankful I travel an experience other cultures
@@mikesample6104 tell that to the trucks driving around Dearborn as we speak with Palestine flags yelling antisemitic phrases all over, just seen one earlier today I’ll tell them you said hi 👍🏼
@@dabbadoo2226 There no trucks with Palestinian flags yelling anti-semitic phrases. You're just so racist that you think criticizing Israel is anti-semitic. We know you are lying.
But be assured a lot of Americans do know a lot about Islam. I'm an Orthodox Christian ☦️. I know Arabic Christians. And have worked for a Security company owned by Jordanian immigrants. As a supervisor I always made sure the Muslim officers got pray er. I used to work in the auto parts business and many Somali customers. In my town on the night before Thanksgiving a multi faith gathering is held. With blessings by Imams, American Indian medicine men, Rabbis, Buddhists, Sikhs the whole spectrum of religions. One of the greatest strengths if the United States us we have the freedom if religion. And constitutional protection of all religions from the government( "the separation of church and state" Peace be unto you Habibis.
Christians fasting is called LENT. Not just food but time to refrain from bad habits like smoking, drinking or gambling. To focus on treating people better by not fighting, sharing with the poor.
@@TB-jj7riIt’s for all Christians except a few groups of Protestants who have abandoned it. Catholic, Orthodox, and Coptic Christians all participate, so do several Protestant sects.

Please understand that not all Americans had problems with Muslims after 9/11 .... I myself grew up in a neighboring city to Dearborn, Michigan. I have friends from the Middle East and I love them dearly....I do think things have changed for the better now when it comes to Americans and Muslims. Understand that a lot of Americans were just very scared after the terrorist attacks....our country was a bit broken during that time.
When 9/11 happened a lot of Americans were living in fear of anyone that looked like you …I got anxiety whenever I saw anyone that looked Muslim ..it took a while to get over the ptsd but thankfully people like you have taught us that we can embrace you and have nothing to fear .. there are bad and good people everywhere ❤your channel is more important than you know !
Same for me. My eyes have been opened for the better, and I have alot of respect for these two gentlemen. Now I understand that it's only the extremists that want to do us harm. I'm a lifelong Metro Detroiter, and the Dearborn residents have never caused any problems that I've been aware of.
Speak for yourself I was 11 when that happened my fear was not being taken for a punk living in the ghetto becoming a mark. Where I grew up gave a fk bout Muslims just had to show respect and ur able to walk between them buildings freely
@@johnO21 I was 32 , a waitress, and we were told to be “vigilant of anyone that (looked suspicious) “ we ALL knew what that meant.. if you had a different experience at 11 I respect your opinion!
One thing I recommend. I understand your reasons for blurring but I would use a different word than "degenerate." Even though it may be a normal translation from Arabic, it can have a strong negative connotation. Most often, it is used as an insult against others. In fact, in media it is often used by the Mafia as an insult to people of low quality. I would recommend saying "it's considered improper" or something to that effect.
Muslims have been here for a very long time. The Trade Center bombing and 9/11 attacks committed by Islamic extremists did, unfortunately, lead to a lot discrimination against the millions of decent, innocent Muslims in the country. It is not disimilar to people being weary about Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. I grew up in an area where we were exposed to many different religions and people from all over the world. We had off from school for Christian, Jewish and Muslim holidays. When you have a chance to learn about and experience a people and their culture, you very much realize that we are all the same. We want to be happy and healthy, without need. We want peace for our families and communities. P.S. Michigan has no shortage of water, it's surrounded by a few of the largest lakes in the world.
Most Americans feel this way about the “war on terror” it was a disgusting hijacking of the nations emotional state after a terrible tragedy that I would say a lot of Americans believe our own government allowed it to happen so we had a reason to into Iraq and Afghanistan.
While Dearborn is the single largest municipality with a Muslim population, there are many other areas in the US (and metro areas with larger populations, like metro NYC and suburban Chicago). Most Arabs in the US are Christians (by far/about 70%, including Lebanese Americans who are primarily Catholic). There are many Muslims in the US from India, Black Americans and other groups throughout the country too.
You are exactly right about 9/11 turning a lot of Americans towards Islamaphobia. My mother is one of them. Fortunately, she has been coming around as I have been bringing around my Muslim friends and she has been getting to see how respectful and kind they are. But I grew up 30 miles from NYC and my mother knew several people who died on 9/11. Unfortunately our media blamed the religion as a whole rather than recognizing that it was a Wahabbist reaction to our involvement in the Middle East. Love and prosperity to both of you. We have a very similar phrase to Assalamualaikum in Catholicism, Peace be with you. Edit: Wanted to add that we also have Fasting periods in Catholicism. Love the content, keep it up!
In my martial arts class I ended up randomly paired with a conservative Muslim man. He explained we couldn't spar because he couldn't touch a woman he wasn't married to. So we sat around talking and he gave me a bit of education about Islam and the Koran. I had to do extra credit work to pass the class, but it was quite fascinating.
After 911 we were shown so many videos of people who we thought were responsible shouting death to America. There were a lot of people who were angry and thought the war was a way of sending a message. I can’t watch any of the footage of what happened on 911 without crying. That changed the way we see the world. I hated that war and all wars. I’m so glad you showed this video.

A lot of college students in the US take a class as a general education requirement explaining the various world religions. This is the first introduction to Islam for a lot of folks and just covers the basics: I think we spent 3-4 weeks on Islam. We briefly learned about Saudi Arabia during the early 7th century. Learned about the Prophet and the Qurʾān and studied several passages translated to English. We discussed the Sunnah, went over the holidays and five pillars, and discussed the major sects. We also had an older man who had converted to Islam through the Nation of Islam talk about his conversion and life. Finally, we had an Imam give us a tour of his mosque across the street from the university and talk with us about prayer, what Islam means to him, and the community they were building.
This was delightful to watch, guys. I'm a Christian, and have much respect for Islam and other faiths. When I was a little kid, my family moved to Indonesia, where I learned from the kind Muslims around us that kindness has no language. It's universal. And it certainly showed me that different faiths can live side by side in peace. My family was even invited to a Muslim wedding reception. On an academic note, I find it interesting that the differences between Sunni and Shiite Muslims comes down to who should lead the faith, which is just like the big, main difference between the Lutheran (maybe Protestants too) denomination and the Catholics. Lutherans believe Jesus is the head of the Church, while Catholics believe in the Pope (who they believe has been appointed by God) to lead. While I respect the Pope, I don't see him as the final authority on our faith. Speaking personally, I believe that, as long as Jesus is at the center of the faith, any church, regardless of denomination/sect, is just as good as another. Nobody is better or worse than anyone else. We have no right to judge. Sorry for the long rant. Loved learning more about you guys and your faith.
I loved the video. The guy did exactly what everyone should do before you judge people: educate yourself, read a book, go in the communities and ask questions. My experience is that people can come from very different backgrounds including different religion but could still have the same values, hopes and dreams. People should be more open- how boring would this planet be if we would all be the same, do everything the same. Instead you can spend your whole life exploring different cultures, religions, countries and people even if it´s just through a book or the internet. And food- my love language. I love to try and cook new stuff.
I had a grandma that lived in Dearborn and our families favorite place to go eat is always the Muslim delis. There is a garlic dip that is by far the best in the world
Lovely video. You must realize that 9/11 was such a shock and so painful to us, and as a country we were hating the people we were told were responsible. All the videos of bin Ladin spewing hatred for our country and, when countries all over the world were reaching out in many ways to help New York City, we repeatedly saw the videos of men and boys in Palestine cheering and celebrating the attacks, yelling Death to America. (Yasser Arafat seemed quite sincere in condemning the attacks and the celebrations of the Palestinians in support of the attacks.) That's when the passage in the Quran which surprised you in another video, saying that non-Muslims must convert or be killed became known to most Americans. I admire and respect you, and hope you can understand this issue a little more.
I’m Christian, I’ve never cared how other people worship or do not worship. I only care that people are peaceful ❤️. I was young when 911 happened and didn’t know anything really Muslims until my late 20s. And I still wouldn’t claim to know a lot. Great reaction. We need more news videos like Tommy G. RIP mainstream media
I went to catholic in the 1950’s when the Catholic nuns wore black habits. So your clothings seam regular to me. I enjoyed watching this video so much. Thank you,Carmen the drummer’s wife. ✌🏼
You guys really do a great job of clarifying many things. Many misconceptions are fed by the media and the fear of radicalism, many other misconceptions are due to historical conflicts of Christianity and Islam, where for example the realtionships with the Ottoman Empire were complicated and both sides were very radical and treated each other very harshly. As you saw for yourselves in other videos, historically in middle-east the Holy Quran was often quoted as "right and duty of a Muslim to pillage and enslave Christians as sinners". And on the other side the Holy Bible was used by Christians often equally badly (regarding Muslims as sinners for not regarding Jesus as divine etc.). Power struggles intermixed with religion, it does never any good, our religions stand on the same base, yet there were wars and struggles for centuries, even if our both main holy texts (Bible and Quran) teach us that we shouldn't do that. Jews were somewhat tolerated by Christian Europe, but there were difficulties, Jews were also frequently treated harshly.
as an american it took me a long time to revert to Islam. there weren't many muslims in my city when i was a kid but over time more and more muslims refugees started coming from other countries and the local bosnian community built some mosques for them so i was interested to learn more and after that is when i started reading the Qur'an and now I go to mosque all the time.
got a Morroccan workmate once... on Chirstmas she's brought the best chicken couscous you'll ever dream of.... bismillah this was the best christmas meal I ever had
Greetings from Inkster, which is one town over from Dearborn. I'm glad the city was portrayed in such a good light. Living in an area of the US with a higher muslim/arabic population than most, I hated to see all the racism and Islamophobia they endured. Every muslim person I've ever encountered has been a genuinely good person
I grew up in Houston and had friends of all faiths. Later, I moved to a rural town in Florida where Americans are not exposed to other cultures. They tend to form opinions from fear and ignorance about foreigners.
He generalizes, I live just outside Dearborn, myself and my family know the way of Islam, we know the way of Hebrew and of course we are Greek orthodox Christians. We are all people of the word. Never let anyone tell you that MANY Americans don't understand Islam. I have two copies of the Quran, graduated from a Christian college and we studied all of the people of the word.
Good to see people are trying to understand the differences in religious cultures. Also, Jesus was Jewish. Doctors say that the human body can go for 3 weeks without eating but can on go for 3 days without water. After 3 days, dehydration happens quickly, causing extreme thirst, fatigue, and ultimately, organ failure and death. A person may go from feeling thirsty and slightly sluggish on the first day with no water to having organ failure by the third day. Stay hydrated... water is life.
I have watched a couple of these reactions and the only thing that drives me nuts, is that in both videos the young visitors did not remove their hats at the table!!! That is bad manners!!! My dad would slap that right off your head 🧢, if you sat down at the table with it on!
We know Jewish and Christians upon whose values America was founded. Jewish people do not espouse violence against those that are not Jewish BUT Muslims celebrate our remain silent again radical ismalicists who do. That needs to change living in America we are ALL CREATED EQUAL
Many of the founding fathers were actually deists not Christians as people like to claim. We were founded on freedom of religion, the whole reason America was created was because people didn't want to be forced to follow Christianity by the church of England. I think it's unfair to say Muslims don't condemn these attacks, many do and there are so many hateful Christians and Jews. It doesn't do any good to judge a group of people by their worst followers no matter the belief system.
Hamtramck is a city right next to the city of Detroit in Michigan. Dearborn has an even larger Muslim population and is located on the west side of Detroit.
I don't about all American churches but historical black churches fast. My mom does it sometimes but there is no specific time of the month, year or time you have to do it. It's more of personal decision. My aunt converted to Islam with her muslim husband I was supportive but it took some time for rest of my family to come around. It didn't take them long to get over it though.
4:20 Some Christians do fast, though I think it generally depends on which type of Christian. Some drink water during fasting, my branch of Christianity you weren't really supposed to. You were supposed to go without food and water for about 24 hours, at least once a month (usually the first Sunday). Sometimes an individual will do a longer fast, for various reasons. Example, one guy did a four day fast (plus lots of prayer) in preparation for a special event. And yes, that included not drinking water even during that longer fast.
I ŕather be loved by my higher being and be appreciate just as much as it loves me back! If you fear your GOD, it's the Devil and his masses coming for yo
Islam to most Americans, especially Patriots, think we are hated and targeted by them. They want to finish what filter started in isreal, I'll ay this as a fact that only patriotic people fought in the Americans Revolution the French and India war before they mobilized a world police after WW2 they where forced into. They are a world empire who has keep peace and world trade to maximum security and to actually modern good people in the world with real allies, not paper ones.. No more world wars that's the USA military. We police for world peace we are the only empire that do conquest. We helped the people being oppressed in different countries and areas in the world. Terrorist things of that nature hostage rescue. What is your real opinion on what we believe and stand by.
A great many of us here in the US did not like Bush and knew he was a liar and knew Dick Cheney was evil and that Iraq had no WMDs. But then you have a lot of people who don't like to question anything and just support him because he's of their political party. And really, that goes both ways. Everyone here is so busy defending their position that nothing gets done. It's very frustrating.
The first Muslim guy I met was in school and I (think) he was from Algeria but definitely new to the U.S. The first day he wasn’t in school our teacher got the girl’s from the class together and told them to be aware to keep their distance and that he’s aware the student had made sexual advances towards them in a creepy manner 💀
The first guy I met named Dante was gay and took it in the butt. He went to school with a Muslim dude from Algeria who didn't show up to school on the first day.
I was a typical Non-denominational Christian for a long time... til I met a few of my best buddies... some Muslim some Hindu .. I was a mix of Irish/English and native American. This religious division is too harmful unless there's respect. People can't get over the negative feelings sadly.. if one can.. what a wonderful world n great people of all walks of life... ❤ much love to all from this chick
This chick don't like the bushes... nor the Clinton's... when I get an Honest leader I will vote ... no best of the 2 evils for me 🤪🫡 I respect my country too much
My best buddy, Bashir Jaan, used to take me to the persian market near me, he got mint yogurt and ... thin bread and the pastry with honey starts with a J .. oh my goodness the absolute BEST breakfast....soo good. I miss my best buddy Inshallah... 😢😢😢 he passed away last year... I miss his happy nature
Funny. I was also thinking, turn down those sink taps. But, they're in Michigan, where it rains a lot. Here in Utah, it doesn't; it rains even less for you guys.
Very good video and reaction. All the religions who serve God / Allah were meant to live together in peace and tolerance. I believe Islam has perhaps done better than us Christian nations in upholding the values we were asked to live by. Many Christian churches have become New Age and allow things that should not be allowed.
The majority of Americans have no worries about what religion people are, what they look like.. only how they treat others and assimilate into the overarching American laws and customs. The media always exploits the extremes hating on the others extremes. Most of us don't care how the people of Islamic countries choose to live their life - we can pray for peace and democracy, but our way is not everyone's way. In my opinion, we should be completely isolationist (outside of trade) to the entire Islamic world and let them handle their own affairs the way they choose. The greater American values will never align completely with Islamic values, so we can have peace thru absence. Of course this may never happen because America will always be the #1 enemy, but it's a nice thought.
The reassuring of the knowledge is that there are still a lot of Tommy G’s in America today :) and hopefully continue to be so. No matter who you are, where you come from, rich or poor, race or ethnicity, you matter ❤
In the Bible, Christian women are encouraged to dress modestly and with soundness of mind, to focus on professing devotion to God by our acts of faith and good works; rather than on the styling of hair, or wearing expensive things for show; and to have deep respect for our husbands, being submissive to his head of the household..Also Christian men are given counsel to be wise and modest, patient, to show love and respect for not only their own families but their fellow man as well, for we are all . Not all Christians completely agree to live like this, but yet this is what we as followers of the teachings of Christ are instructed to do. And of course, it is God's instruction to mankind for us to treat one another with respect and compassion, but many people, no matter what faith we follow, just plain don't listen to God's wisdom; which is why our world is so messed up with war and greed and so on. Yeah, so...whoever invented short, tight, and revealing clothing wasn't thinking about helping men to keep their focus on the will of God. Sad but true.
I've only ever heard positive things about Dearborn👍 Hardworking respectable people, and the children already have a lot of ambition 😯 thanks Habibis, you explained some things well and it was funny when they were washing hands and faces, you're like-What's he doing?🤔 when he wiped water from back to front of his head 😄 interesting to know it's just Shia Muslims doing that, not Sunni
I don't know if you guys responded to comments, but I want you to react some Japanese stuff. Like anime, eating KFC at Christmas time, Sumo wrestlers, Otaku, Moé girls, and perhaps that oneguy who married a virtual singer, Hatsune Miku!
I do believe that both men and women should respect of counsel, at the same time I also understand there are benefits in not fearing temptation, but to grow strong when being challenged by temptation. For indeed the spirit (will) is strong, but the flesh is weak, such a challenge in modern times in which flesh is seemingly everywhere. In Christianity it was often practiced as self flagellation, or the mortification (Opus Dei) of flesh. Whereas one surely believes they are to be judged for every action including of thought that is of a sin, and therefor to show how remorseful one is by their actions or in thought they are deserving of self punishment, thus also accepting punishment for the sin by the Creator, finding no fault in having two punishments. The practice is a form of ultimate submission. Thus in the Lord's Prayer, for it is written "lead us not unto temptation, but to deliver us from evil". I find it quite remarkable that founders of the United States, via the individual states made it clear the Federal government could not establish any one religion as being a national religion, nor to prohibit the free exercise of religion. In the same it is made true that religion cannot be a religion if it's used to justify a trespass on another. In modern times we call those "cults", in religions it is known as "false Religions". Have you gentlemen seen this video? I can't help myself, it still makes me laugh. ua-cam.com/video/SyS5r15_2-g/v-deo.html
Hey guys, I live right down the road from Dearborn, in sterling heights Michigan, which is the largest Arabic Christian community in the United States 🇺🇸 🎉
@@dabbadoo2226 A 45 minute or hour long drive isn't that far. You can cross the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in that time, and that is the longest bridge in America.
Some of our Muslim communities are very diverse. People from all countries, colors, and race. A mosque in my area has outreach events a few times a year to introduce the larger community to their cultures, values, food (always a winner in the States) along with a mosque tour and teaching people about religious practices. I think most rational people know crazy people or extremists do not represent the majority. When Christian sects murdered people who worked in women's health clinics, or sects that violated children, hardly Christian on any scale. Yes, Jewish people have lived in the States for very long time, but also experienced and currently experiencing significant anti-semitic conduct. The Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh massacre was an horrific example back in 2018.
I don’t understand why Muslin men can uncover their torsos in public, but Muslin women not only have to cover their torsos, but also their heads and, sometimes, their faces. Shouldn’t a man ‘s torso, at least, be available for viewing only in the home by his wife?
All that's wasted when you let water run in the city is electricity. The water is purified and recycled before being pumped into the homes and businesses.
Do Americans hate Bush? Before only Democrats but now ya kind of ya but we like to watch him paint little pictures in his retirement and do charity work. It's complicated. 😄 You screw up in America you get promoted to a corner office facing a wall were you can do no more harm.
I think that there are radicals in every religion. But the majority of all people only want love and to connect with the creator. On 9/11, I felt sorry for not only NYC but the Middle East because I knew they would suffer for what only a few people did.
From your definition of the difference between Sheite and Sunni, it is much the same as the difference in Catholics and other Christians, Catholics follow The Pope, whom they see as the embodiment of Christ on Earth, while other Christians do not. There are hundreds of different types of Christianity and they do not all agree with each other. Some interpret The Bible literally, some interpret it metaphorically, and for centuries, it was all only read, interpreted, and given to the masses through Catholicism, through priests who read their sermons in Latin, a language very few people understand, and during that time only clergymen were allowed to read and write, therefore they only knew what they were told instead of reading The Bible for themselves.
I think people criticize the hijab and not nuns is because nuns are never wearing explosives. I believe people only complain about the specific hijab that only exposes the eyes. I can agree with that. Like the videos guys, I hope you keep learning as I do with UA-cam vids.
it's haram to kill innocent people it's mentioned clearly in Quran "Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And Our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs" Surah Al-Ma'idah - 32
I studied Islam a long time ago along with other religions before I chose one (my parents never forced one on me). But if you would be offended to find out why I rejected it, then don't read further. Here are my problems with the following religions I deemed false: Judaism: they missed the arrival of their Messiah's first coming (But there is no way they will be able to miss his 2nd coming) Mormonism: they follow a con-artist of a false prophet who was into occult Freemason concepts (the original mormon undergarments had Freemason symbols on them) and copied sections out of the English King James Translation including some errors of that translation. The history presented in The Book of Mormon is completely unsupported from Archaeology. Buddhism: a mix of beliefs from ancient India, the belief system lacks a solid connection to reality, and their openness to spirits make them targets of demons. They do have some good morals and an awareness of the spiritual world, but not true knowledge of the spiritual world. This is most easily seen in conversion stories to Christianity where meditation or other practices led to demonic involvement and Christianity solved that problem for them. Confucianism: this is more a philosophy mixed with the current spiritual ideas of its time of inception along with traditions built up over time. Thus i view it as man's thoughts. Occultism: be it wicca, new age, santeria, palm readers, voodoo, or other, these religions unknowingly (but sometimes knowingly) bring people into involvement with demons whom they usually call spirits or some other word. I have seen many Christian conversion stories where they realized those spirits were evil and against God. Trinitarian Christianity: They often get a lot right about following the Bible, but they usually believe in the following false doctrines - the immortality of the soul, literal hellfire, the trinity, and that all righteous people go to heaven. I view them as similar to how Jesus spoke to the congregation of Pergamum at Revelation 2: 12-16. However, they are not exactly wrong entirely. If you remember, Jesus prophesied that Christianity would have false teachers mix into it at Matthew 13: 24-30, 36-43. Jesus said to let the wheat (true Christians) grow with the weeds (false Christians) until the harvest (the time of the end), so that by pulling out the weeds they wouldn't pull out the wheat along with it. But the time of the end is fast approaching for "the harvest." Islam: (again, please don't be offended, this is simply my research, and if you think I'm wrong, tell me how) The beliefs for Islam are not entirely found in the Quran (unlike the Bible where you can practice it without outside knowledge), the Quran requires the Hadith and Sunnah to be fully followed. And in the Hadith and Sunnah we learn that Mohammed at first thought Gabriel was a demon, and his wife had to convince him it was not. Even then, Mohammed kept thinking it was a demon and tried to kill himself multiple times before deciding to be its prophet. In the Bible, angels never would "squeeze" a prophet and be forceful as Mohammed's "Gabriel" was. And Jesus warned that there would be false prophets, and that we would recognize them by their fruits - what things they produce. Sure Mohammed was peaceful during his time in Mecca, but the part of the Quran written in Medina is the opposite. It was after this time that the orders were to subjugate the world to sharia. After the fall of the caliphate, the tactic has been to preach the Meccan peacefulness in areas islam does not govern, and once they have the numbers and power, to switch to the Medina verses of conquest by the sword. But besides this, there is more. Christianity has this problem too. It is hard to walk the narrow path of uprightness. You could become too lenient or too harsh, either extreme is bad. While woke Christianity goes to the extreme of leniency, the fundamentals of Islam go to the extreme of harshness - to even say that modesty means a woman must be completely covered (if you have seen Ali-Dawah's "whiteboard" video, he doesn't even allow his wife to speak with her voice because he considers her voice part of her beauty that must be covered. She has to write things on a whiteboard to him). However, our skin is meant to be in the sun, that's how we get Vitamin D. And we communicate a lot through the tone of our voice and facial expressions. Satan doesn't care if we go one way or the other, as long as we leave the path. The most blatant part though is the permissiveness for men. They can have 4 wives whom they can divorce at any time by saying a word 3 times. They can also practice temporary marriage, both sunni and shia, although some believe this was not so, the hadith vary on whether it was later outlawed by Mohammed or not. And lastly, it allows for sex slaves, "female captives in your possession" (Quran 4: 24). Compare this to what the Bible says, that sex is only between a married man and woman (1 Timothy 3: 2), and that divorce is only appropriate if a spouse commits adultery (Matthew 19: 3-9). I know the last section is long, but I thought because you're muslim I would go into more detail. There is yet more I could add. Again, my intent is not to bash your religion, I am simply giving my understanding of what is true and what is false. I am only human, as is my ability to understand and my ability to judge.
What I do find interesting is how defined specific a particular religious sect is overwhelmingly predominant depending on the location, in the middle east. While Iran is considered Persian by dafault making up between 51% - 65% of it's population, it's also reported that about 40% of it's population do not speak Persian. Iran is 99.4% Shia Muslims. While Saudi Arabia ethnically are made up of Arabs, Afro-Arabs, and Asian expatriates, all of course which speak Arabic. Saudi Arabia being 85% - 90% Sunni Muslims. As I recall this has a lot to do with the differences in beliefs regarding who is recognized as somewhat ordained after After Muhammed earthly death. As his ascension took place before his death known as, The night journey and ascension of the Prophet Muhammad took place.
What happened in France was done by extremists. The majority of Muslims are peaceful. Just like with any religion or political party, there are a small minority of extremists. ❤
I respect both of you and this is your channel but you are also appealing to an American audience with your video choices. Therefore, I must say for clarity, that the difference between what Christians believe and what followers of Islam believe is that we believe that Jesus is God.
The France thing is a good example, it was big news here, still talked about by politicians trying to prove their point today. When the logical and obvious answer is the guy was unstable no matter what or where he came from.
I fast and I'm a Christian also believe in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I know that we have to get together to make the body of Christ and we can't do that without loving inspiring and taking care of each other
Just to clarify... The difference between Christianity and Islam when it comes to Jesus, is that while they do believe in Him, they see Him as a mortal man and a prophet, in the same way as Moses and Abraham, etc. Like the Jews, they do not believe that He is the begotten Son of God.
Lebanon thought like Tommy G. They helped the Palestinians and let the Palestinian refugees in even when Islamic nations didn't. And for their kindness they were repaid with 15 years of jen-o-side. It went from 70% Christian to less than half of that. And if it hadn't been for Israel, millions more would have died. Islam only feigns peace until they have enough for an army.
Whole purpose of fasting is not to eat meat (food coming from an once living being) for a period of time, so to cleanse body and spirit. Sorry, but as an Orthodox Christian I find fasting in Islam contradictory as Muslims don't eat during the day and eat at night (including meat) which defeats the whole purpose of it. But I understand - there's always contradictions in religion, there is such in Christianity, there is such in Islam, in Buddhism, etc.
Love seeing y'all react to all things America! In America, many religions co-exist together. It may not always be nice, but we aren't violent towards one another. I wish y'all would break down Islam through your eyes. Many Americans have one view of Islam and it unfortunately comes from Islamic terrorist videos from ISIS and the Taliban. We think of the beheadings of people for blasphemy, the drowning of prisoners in cages, the killing of gays, or the un-fair treatment of women. But, I know that those people are a small percentage of Muslims. To understand how y'all view Islam would be amazing! Keep doing what you're doing!
Just like the example he talked about in France. The teacher was beheaded by Muslims living in France. That is what most western countries see and hear in regards in Islam. We need your perspective! I'd love to ask you questions if your ever open to it!
we love to but we are not scholars we will recommend this young muslim scholar he will answer any question you like when he goes live on youtube , the channel name is (The Muslim Lantern) and you can also watch his video they are the best.
Most Americans don't have issues with Islam we have issues with the extremists there's a difference. And we have problems with some of the things they do like you know marrying underage women but I'm almost positive that's just for the extremist. I could be wrong but I like to think only the extremists do that.
I am a very firm believer in Christianity and believe that I should love and treat Muslims with kindness and respect.
Same religion 😂 different rranslations.
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️

I think you guys mightbe surprised by the numbers of Muslims in the United States Military
My brother has often said some of his most loyal and trusted marines not to mention real life friends were Muslim and or of a Muslim heritage. Us humans are so much alike yet our governments and so called “leaders” insist on making us fight and kill each other.
Most Americans that I know agree with his opinion on the war.
Yes, it was a very unpopular war and remembered in hindsight by most as a mistake.
There's new information about what was really going on, that's been coming out recently. Whistleblowers are coming forward and speaking up. I pray for their safety.
Yes, I read Valerie Plame's book, Fair Game. Her husband was the man the US sent in to ascertain if Iraq had WMD. He told them they didn't, but they found some lame yellowcake excuse, and then he publicly exposed their lie and they went after him for it. Very interesting book. But you can dig even deeper. There is an interview with Aaron Russo where he talks to Alex Jones about his prior friendship with a member of the Rockefeller family, Nick Rockefeller. Aaron was told by him about a decade or so prior to the event, that they were planning the things that transpired in the war in the middle east. You'll have to find the interview, because if I go into more detail, this comment will perhaps not be seen.
Yes, I also like to point out that we were operating largely off of British “intelligence”. Blair and co. are just as guilty as Bush and friends.
To be honest a majority of Americans don't know much about Judaism either. We were however exposed to teachings about the holocaust during school. This was a great video, thank you for sharing :)
True.. in middle school was exposed to Schindler List and Ann Frank, teachings from non-Jews is to feel sorry for Jews
I'm glad to see Dearborn made you guys happy.
As an agnostic non-believer, I am completely fine with anyone having their religions beliefs, just as long as they respect and not belittle the non-believers.
This is part of what makes America great. We can all believe different things and still live together in peace.

France didn't behead the teacher. An offended Muslim murdered the teacher by beheading.

But be assured a lot of Americans do know a lot about Islam.
I'm an Orthodox Christian ☦️. I know Arabic Christians. And have worked for a Security company owned by Jordanian immigrants. As a supervisor I always made sure the Muslim officers got pray er. I used to work in the auto parts business and many Somali customers. In my town on the night before Thanksgiving a multi faith gathering is held. With blessings by Imams, American Indian medicine men, Rabbis, Buddhists, Sikhs the whole spectrum of religions.

Christians fasting is called LENT. Not just food but time to refrain from bad habits like smoking, drinking or gambling. To focus on treating people better by not fighting, sharing with the poor.
That's for catholics...not all Christian denominations

@@TacomaGirlLent is also not the only Catholic fasting time. It is however the longest and most significant.
@@TB-jj7riIt’s for all Christians except a few groups of Protestants who have abandoned it. Catholic, Orthodox, and Coptic Christians all participate, so do several Protestant sects.

"As Orthodox Christians we have the luxury if knowing where Christ is but not where he isn't" -Father Thomas Hopko Dean, St Vladamirs Russian Orthodox seminary ☦️

Father Dean is right. However hatred and fear is truly terrifying.
Please understand that not all Americans had problems with Muslims after 9/11 .... I myself grew up in a neighboring city to Dearborn, Michigan. I have friends from the Middle East and I love them dearly....I do think things have changed for the better now when it comes to Americans and Muslims. Understand that a lot of Americans were just very scared after the terrorist attacks....our country was a bit broken during that time.
I was just in Dearborn last week with my friend from Chicago. He was shocked to see so many Muslims. I'm from Michigan so it's normal to me.
As an agnostic I love learning about difference religions, and find it interesting watching your guy's perspectives .
When 9/11 happened a lot of Americans were living in fear of anyone that looked like you …I got anxiety whenever I saw anyone that looked Muslim ..it took a while to get over the ptsd but thankfully people like you have taught us that we can embrace you and have nothing to fear .. there are bad and good people everywhere ❤your channel is more important than you know !
❤
Same for me. My eyes have been opened for the better, and I have alot of respect for these two gentlemen. Now I understand that it's only the extremists that want to do us harm. I'm a lifelong Metro Detroiter, and the Dearborn residents have never caused any problems that I've been aware of.
Speak for yourself

@@johnO21 I was 32 , a waitress, and we were told to be “vigilant of anyone that (looked suspicious) “ we ALL knew what that meant.. if you had a different experience at 11 I respect your opinion!

One thing I recommend. I understand your reasons for blurring but I would use a different word than "degenerate." Even though it may be a normal translation from Arabic, it can have a strong negative connotation. Most often, it is used as an insult against others. In fact, in media it is often used by the Mafia as an insult to people of low quality. I would recommend saying "it's considered improper" or something to that effect.
Muslims have been here for a very long time. The Trade Center bombing and 9/11 attacks committed by Islamic extremists did, unfortunately, lead to a lot discrimination against the millions of decent, innocent Muslims in the country. It is not disimilar to people being weary about Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor. I grew up in an area where we were exposed to many different religions and people from all over the world. We had off from school for Christian, Jewish and Muslim holidays. When you have a chance to learn about and experience a people and their culture, you very much realize that we are all the same. We want to be happy and healthy, without need. We want peace for our families and communities. P.S. Michigan has no shortage of water, it's surrounded by a few of the largest lakes in the world.
It’s beautiful watching peace makers watch peace makers. 😍 We good humans of every background need to stick together. ❤
Americans want peace on the global stage.
I just wish that we could find peace within our own borders.
Most Americans feel this way about the “war on terror” it was a disgusting hijacking of the nations emotional state after a terrible tragedy that I would say a lot of Americans believe our own government allowed it to happen so we had a reason to into Iraq and Afghanistan.
While Dearborn is the single largest municipality with a Muslim population, there are many other areas in the US (and metro areas with larger populations, like metro NYC and suburban Chicago). Most Arabs in the US are Christians (by far/about 70%, including Lebanese Americans who are primarily Catholic). There are many Muslims in the US from India, Black Americans and other groups throughout the country too.
So wonderful seeing harmony there. I really enjoyed learning about this city and Islam.
You are exactly right about 9/11 turning a lot of Americans towards Islamaphobia. My mother is one of them. Fortunately, she has been coming around as I have been bringing around my Muslim friends and she has been getting to see how respectful and kind they are. But I grew up 30 miles from NYC and my mother knew several people who died on 9/11. Unfortunately our media blamed the religion as a whole rather than recognizing that it was a Wahabbist reaction to our involvement in the Middle East. Love and prosperity to both of you. We have a very similar phrase to Assalamualaikum in Catholicism, Peace be with you.
Edit: Wanted to add that we also have Fasting periods in Catholicism. Love the content, keep it up!
In my martial arts class I ended up randomly paired with a conservative Muslim man. He explained we couldn't spar because he couldn't touch a woman he wasn't married to. So we sat around talking and he gave me a bit of education about Islam and the Koran. I had to do extra credit work to pass the class, but it was quite fascinating.
You guys are great ambassadors for your culture and religion. Also you produce great videos, thank you for them.
After 911 we were shown so many videos of people who we thought were responsible shouting death to America. There were a lot of people who were angry and thought the war was a way of sending a message. I can’t watch any of the footage of what happened on 911 without crying. That changed the way we see the world. I hated that war and all wars. I’m so glad you showed this video.

Nice to get a glimpse of that way of life and I also learned quite a few things I was ignorant of, cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
A lot of college students in the US take a class as a general education requirement explaining the various world religions. This is the first introduction to Islam for a lot of folks and just covers the basics:
I think we spent 3-4 weeks on Islam. We briefly learned about Saudi Arabia during the early 7th century. Learned about the Prophet and the Qurʾān and studied several passages translated to English. We discussed the Sunnah, went over the holidays and five pillars, and discussed the major sects. We also had an older man who had converted to Islam through the Nation of Islam talk about his conversion and life. Finally, we had an Imam give us a tour of his mosque across the street from the university and talk with us about prayer, what Islam means to him, and the community they were building.
Thank you for sharing this!
This was delightful to watch, guys. I'm a Christian, and have much respect for Islam and other faiths. When I was a little kid, my family moved to Indonesia, where I learned from the kind Muslims around us that kindness has no language. It's universal. And it certainly showed me that different faiths can live side by side in peace. My family was even invited to a Muslim wedding reception.
On an academic note, I find it interesting that the differences between Sunni and Shiite Muslims comes down to who should lead the faith, which is just like the big, main difference between the Lutheran (maybe Protestants too) denomination and the Catholics. Lutherans believe Jesus is the head of the Church, while Catholics believe in the Pope (who they believe has been appointed by God) to lead. While I respect the Pope, I don't see him as the final authority on our faith.
Speaking personally, I believe that, as long as Jesus is at the center of the faith, any church, regardless of denomination/sect, is just as good as another. Nobody is better or worse than anyone else. We have no right to judge.
Sorry for the long rant. Loved learning more about you guys and your faith.
I loved the video. The guy did exactly what everyone should do before you judge people: educate yourself, read a book, go in the communities and ask questions. My experience is that people can come from very different backgrounds including different religion but could still have the same values, hopes and dreams. People should be more open- how boring would this planet be if we would all be the same, do everything the same. Instead you can spend your whole life exploring different cultures, religions, countries and people even if it´s just through a book or the internet. And food- my love language. I love to try and cook new stuff.
I had a grandma that lived in Dearborn and our families favorite place to go eat is always the Muslim delis. There is a garlic dip that is by far the best in the world
Lovely video. You must realize that 9/11 was such a shock and so painful to us, and as a country we were hating the people we were told were responsible. All the videos of bin Ladin spewing hatred for our country and, when countries all over the world were reaching out in many ways to help New York City, we repeatedly saw the videos of men and boys in Palestine cheering and celebrating the attacks, yelling Death to America. (Yasser Arafat seemed quite sincere in condemning the attacks and the celebrations of the Palestinians in support of the attacks.) That's when the passage in the Quran which surprised you in another video, saying that non-Muslims must convert or be killed became known to most Americans. I admire and respect you, and hope you can understand this issue a little more.
I’m Christian, I’ve never cared how other people worship or do not worship. I only care that people are peaceful ❤️. I was young when 911 happened and didn’t know anything really Muslims until my late 20s. And I still wouldn’t claim to know a lot. Great reaction. We need more news videos like Tommy G. RIP mainstream media
I went to catholic in the 1950’s when the Catholic nuns wore black habits. So your clothings seam regular to me. I enjoyed watching this video so much. Thank you,Carmen the drummer’s wife. ✌🏼
You guys really do a great job of clarifying many things. Many misconceptions are fed by the media and the fear of radicalism, many other misconceptions are due to historical conflicts of Christianity and Islam, where for example the realtionships with the Ottoman Empire were complicated and both sides were very radical and treated each other very harshly.
As you saw for yourselves in other videos, historically in middle-east the Holy Quran was often quoted as "right and duty of a Muslim to pillage and enslave Christians as sinners". And on the other side the Holy Bible was used by Christians often equally badly (regarding Muslims as sinners for not regarding Jesus as divine etc.). Power struggles intermixed with religion, it does never any good, our religions stand on the same base, yet there were wars and struggles for centuries, even if our both main holy texts (Bible and Quran) teach us that we shouldn't do that. Jews were somewhat tolerated by Christian Europe, but there were difficulties, Jews were also frequently treated harshly.
“Yeah, fuck Sadam…” 😂 totally agree ❤
as an american it took me a long time to revert to Islam. there weren't many muslims in my city when i was a kid but over time more and more muslims refugees started coming from other countries and the local bosnian community built some mosques for them so i was interested to learn more and after that is when i started reading the Qur'an and now I go to mosque all the time.

This mosque serves both Sunni and Shia. That is why you may have noticed some Shia things in this mosque. I hope this makes sense.
Greetings from Inkster, which is one town over from Dearborn. I'm glad the city was portrayed in such a good light. Living in an area of the US with a higher muslim/arabic population than most, I hated to see all the racism and Islamophobia they endured. Every muslim person I've ever encountered has been a genuinely good person
I grew up in Houston and had friends of all faiths. Later, I moved to a rural town in Florida where Americans are not exposed to other cultures. They tend to form opinions from fear and ignorance about foreigners.
He generalizes, I live just outside Dearborn, myself and my family know the way of Islam, we know the way of Hebrew and of course we are Greek orthodox Christians. We are all people of the word. Never let anyone tell you that MANY Americans don't understand Islam. I have two copies of the Quran, graduated from a Christian college and we studied all of the people of the word.
Good to see people are trying to understand the differences in religious cultures. Also, Jesus was Jewish.
Doctors say that the human body can go for 3 weeks without eating but can on go for 3 days without water. After 3 days, dehydration happens quickly, causing extreme thirst, fatigue, and ultimately, organ failure and death. A person may go from feeling thirsty and slightly sluggish on the first day with no water to having organ failure by the third day. Stay hydrated... water is life.
Keep up the great videos!
A lot of Americans you’ll see if you lived here they realize we were all lied to about Islam especially after 9/11.
You guys, PLEASE, do not believe what you see in the media. There is nothing but love.
Now I need to visit Dearborn to tour the restaurants.
I have watched a couple of these reactions and the only thing that drives me nuts, is that in both videos the young visitors did not remove their hats at the table!!! That is bad manners!!! My dad would slap that right off your head 🧢, if you sat down at the table with it on!
I'm American but be honest with you also know there's good and bad in every country we just had to fit together to make the body of Christ
We know Jewish and Christians upon whose values America was founded. Jewish people do not espouse violence against those that are not Jewish BUT Muslims celebrate our remain silent again radical ismalicists who do. That needs to change living in America we are ALL CREATED EQUAL
Many of the founding fathers were actually deists not Christians as people like to claim. We were founded on freedom of religion, the whole reason America was created was because people didn't want to be forced to follow Christianity by the church of England. I think it's unfair to say Muslims don't condemn these attacks, many do and there are so many hateful Christians and Jews. It doesn't do any good to judge a group of people by their worst followers no matter the belief system.
you guys would be completely surprised how many Arab muslims and even Persian/Iranian muslims in the US military frfr
i never noticed the closeness to how a nun dresses. thank you for pointing that out.
You are so welcome!
Hamtramck is a city right next to the city of Detroit in Michigan. Dearborn has an even larger Muslim population and is located on the west side of Detroit.
I don't about all American churches but historical black churches fast. My mom does it sometimes but there is no specific time of the month, year or time you have to do it. It's more of personal decision. My aunt converted to Islam with her muslim husband I was supportive but it took some time for rest of my family to come around. It didn't take them long to get over it though.
Great video my friends.
Thank you 🤗
I live 30 min away from Dearborn .
If you stay at a Ramada Inn it's called Ramadan and you get a discount!😂
4:20 Some Christians do fast, though I think it generally depends on which type of Christian. Some drink water during fasting, my branch of Christianity you weren't really supposed to. You were supposed to go without food and water for about 24 hours, at least once a month (usually the first Sunday). Sometimes an individual will do a longer fast, for various reasons. Example, one guy did a four day fast (plus lots of prayer) in preparation for a special event. And yes, that included not drinking water even during that longer fast.

Islam to most Americans, especially Patriots, think we are hated and targeted by them. They want to finish what filter started in isreal, I'll ay this as a fact that only patriotic people fought in the Americans Revolution the French and India war before they mobilized a world police after WW2 they where forced into. They are a world empire who has keep peace and world trade to maximum security and to actually modern good people in the world with real allies, not paper ones.. No more world wars that's the USA military. We police for world peace we are the only empire that do conquest. We helped the people being oppressed in different countries and areas in the world. Terrorist things of that nature hostage rescue. What is your real opinion on what we believe and stand by.
A great many of us here in the US did not like Bush and knew he was a liar and knew Dick Cheney was evil and that Iraq had no WMDs. But then you have a lot of people who don't like to question anything and just support him because he's of their political party. And really, that goes both ways. Everyone here is so busy defending their position that nothing gets done. It's very frustrating.
A good video gentlemen.
I've never met a Muslim I didn't like.

The first Muslim guy I met was in school and I (think) he was from Algeria but definitely new to the U.S.
The first day he wasn’t in school our teacher got the girl’s from the class together and told them to be aware to keep their distance and that he’s aware the student had made sexual advances towards them in a creepy manner 💀
The first guy I met named Dante was gay and took it in the butt. He went to school with a Muslim dude from Algeria who didn't show up to school on the first day.
I was a typical Non-denominational Christian for a long time... til I met a few of my best buddies... some Muslim some Hindu .. I was a mix of Irish/English and native American. This religious division is too harmful unless there's respect.

Funny. I was also thinking, turn down those sink taps. But, they're in Michigan, where it rains a lot. Here in Utah, it doesn't; it rains even less for you guys.
Very good video and reaction. All the religions who serve God / Allah were meant to live together in peace and tolerance. I believe Islam has perhaps done better than us Christian nations in upholding the values we were asked to live by. Many Christian churches have become New Age and allow things that should not be allowed.
The majority of Americans have no worries about what religion people are, what they look like.. only how they treat others and assimilate into the overarching American laws and customs. The media always exploits the extremes hating on the others extremes. Most of us don't care how the people of Islamic countries choose to live their life - we can pray for peace and democracy, but our way is not everyone's way. In my opinion, we should be completely isolationist (outside of trade) to the entire Islamic world and let them handle their own affairs the way they choose. The greater American values will never align completely with Islamic values, so we can have peace thru absence. Of course this may never happen because America will always be the #1 enemy, but it's a nice thought.
The reassuring of the knowledge is that there are still a lot of Tommy G’s in America today :) and hopefully continue to be so. No matter who you are, where you come from, rich or poor, race or ethnicity, you matter ❤
In the Bible, Christian women are encouraged to dress modestly and with soundness of mind, to focus on professing devotion to God by our acts of faith and good works; rather than on the styling of hair, or wearing expensive things for show; and to have deep respect for our husbands, being submissive to his head of the household..Also Christian men are given counsel to be wise and modest, patient, to show love and respect for not only their own families but their fellow man as well, for we are all . Not all Christians completely agree to live like this, but yet this is what we as followers of the teachings of Christ are instructed to do. And of course, it is God's instruction to mankind for us to treat one another with respect and compassion, but many people, no matter what faith we follow, just plain don't listen to God's wisdom; which is why our world is so messed up with war and greed and so on. Yeah, so...whoever invented short, tight, and revealing clothing wasn't thinking about helping men to keep their focus on the will of God. Sad but true.

I do believe that both men and women should respect of counsel, at the same time I also understand there are benefits in not fearing temptation,
but to grow strong when being challenged by temptation.
For indeed the spirit (will) is strong, but the flesh is weak, such a challenge in modern times in which flesh is seemingly everywhere.
In Christianity it was often practiced as self flagellation, or the mortification (Opus Dei) of flesh.
Whereas one surely believes they are to be judged for every action including of thought that is of a sin, and therefor to show how remorseful
one is by their actions or in thought they are deserving of self punishment, thus also accepting punishment for the sin by the Creator,
finding no fault in having two punishments.
The practice is a form of ultimate submission.
Thus in the Lord's Prayer, for it is written "lead us not unto temptation, but to deliver us from evil".
I find it quite remarkable that founders of the United States, via the individual states made it clear the Federal government could not establish
any one religion as being a national religion, nor to prohibit the free exercise of religion.
In the same it is made true that religion cannot be a religion if it's used to justify a trespass on another.
In modern times we call those "cults", in religions it is known as "false Religions".
Have you gentlemen seen this video?
I can't help myself, it still makes me laugh.

Hey guys, I live right down the road from Dearborn, in sterling heights Michigan, which is the largest Arabic Christian community in the United States 🇺🇸 🎉
Sterling Heights is not down the road fella its bout 45 min to an hour east but sure if you say so
@@dabbadoo2226 "Down the road" isn't supposed to be literal, dude. It is slang for "very close."
@@Abcdefg-tf7cu maybe if it was a city over, it’s like saying Lansing is down the road Dearborn is a shithole
@@dabbadoo2226 A 45 minute or hour long drive isn't that far. You can cross the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway in that time, and that is the longest bridge in America.
@@Abcdefg-tf7cuobviously you never drove in Michigan a normal 45 min drive is bout twice that especially to the east side but congrats on your bridge
Some of our Muslim communities are very diverse. People from all countries, colors, and race. A mosque in my area has outreach events a few times a year to introduce the larger community to their cultures, values, food (always a winner in the States) along with a mosque tour and teaching people about religious practices. I think most rational people know crazy people or extremists do not represent the majority. When Christian sects murdered people who worked in women's health clinics, or sects that violated children, hardly Christian on any scale. Yes, Jewish people have lived in the States for very long time, but also experienced and currently experiencing significant anti-semitic conduct. The Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh massacre was an horrific example back in 2018.
I don’t understand why Muslin men can uncover their torsos in public, but Muslin women not only have to cover their torsos, but also their heads and, sometimes, their faces. Shouldn’t a man ‘s torso, at least, be available for viewing only in the home by his wife?
All that's wasted when you let water run in the city is electricity. The water is purified and recycled before being pumped into the homes and businesses.
Do Americans hate Bush? Before only Democrats but now ya kind of ya but we like to watch him paint little pictures in his retirement and do charity work. It's complicated. 😄 You screw up in America you get promoted to a corner office facing a wall were you can do no more harm.
I think that there are radicals in every religion. But the majority of all people only want love and to connect with the creator. On 9/11, I felt sorry for not only NYC but the Middle East because I knew they would suffer for what only a few people did.
From your definition of the difference between Sheite and Sunni, it is much the same as the difference in Catholics and other Christians, Catholics follow The Pope, whom they see as the embodiment of Christ on Earth, while other Christians do not. There are hundreds of different types of Christianity and they do not all agree with each other. Some interpret The Bible literally, some interpret it metaphorically, and for centuries, it was all only read, interpreted, and given to the masses through Catholicism, through priests who read their sermons in Latin, a language very few people understand, and during that time only clergymen were allowed to read and write, therefore they only knew what they were told instead of reading The Bible for themselves.
I think people criticize the hijab and not nuns is because nuns are never wearing explosives. I believe people only complain about the specific hijab that only exposes the eyes. I can agree with that. Like the videos guys, I hope you keep learning as I do with UA-cam vids.
it's haram to kill innocent people it's mentioned clearly in Quran "Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And Our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs" Surah Al-Ma'idah - 32

I studied Islam a long time ago along with other religions before I chose one (my parents never forced one on me). But if you would be offended to find out why I rejected it, then don't read further.
Here are my problems with the following religions I deemed false:
Judaism: they missed the arrival of their Messiah's first coming (But there is no way they will be able to miss his 2nd coming)
Mormonism: they follow a con-artist of a false prophet who was into occult Freemason concepts (the original mormon undergarments had Freemason symbols on them) and copied sections out of the English King James Translation including some errors of that translation. The history presented in The Book of Mormon is completely unsupported from Archaeology.
Buddhism: a mix of beliefs from ancient India, the belief system lacks a solid connection to reality, and their openness to spirits make them targets of demons. They do have some good morals and an awareness of the spiritual world, but not true knowledge of the spiritual world. This is most easily seen in conversion stories to Christianity where meditation or other practices led to demonic involvement and Christianity solved that problem for them.
Confucianism: this is more a philosophy mixed with the current spiritual ideas of its time of inception along with traditions built up over time. Thus i view it as man's thoughts.
Occultism: be it wicca, new age, santeria, palm readers, voodoo, or other, these religions unknowingly (but sometimes knowingly) bring people into involvement with demons whom they usually call spirits or some other word. I have seen many Christian conversion stories where they realized those spirits were evil and against God.
Trinitarian Christianity: They often get a lot right about following the Bible, but they usually believe in the following false doctrines - the immortality of the soul, literal hellfire, the trinity, and that all righteous people go to heaven. I view them as similar to how Jesus spoke to the congregation of Pergamum at Revelation 2: 12-16. However, they are not exactly wrong entirely. If you remember, Jesus prophesied that Christianity would have false teachers mix into it at Matthew 13: 24-30, 36-43. Jesus said to let the wheat (true Christians) grow with the weeds (false Christians) until the harvest (the time of the end), so that by pulling out the weeds they wouldn't pull out the wheat along with it. But the time of the end is fast approaching for "the harvest."
Islam: (again, please don't be offended, this is simply my research, and if you think I'm wrong, tell me how) The beliefs for Islam are not entirely found in the Quran (unlike the Bible where you can practice it without outside knowledge), the Quran requires the Hadith and Sunnah to be fully followed. And in the Hadith and Sunnah we learn that Mohammed at first thought Gabriel was a demon, and his wife had to convince him it was not. Even then, Mohammed kept thinking it was a demon and tried to kill himself multiple times before deciding to be its prophet. In the Bible, angels never would "squeeze" a prophet and be forceful as Mohammed's "Gabriel" was. And Jesus warned that there would be false prophets, and that we would recognize them by their fruits - what things they produce. Sure Mohammed was peaceful during his time in Mecca, but the part of the Quran written in Medina is the opposite. It was after this time that the orders were to subjugate the world to sharia. After the fall of the caliphate, the tactic has been to preach the Meccan peacefulness in areas islam does not govern, and once they have the numbers and power, to switch to the Medina verses of conquest by the sword. But besides this, there is more. Christianity has this problem too. It is hard to walk the narrow path of uprightness. You could become too lenient or too harsh, either extreme is bad. While woke Christianity goes to the extreme of leniency, the fundamentals of Islam go to the extreme of harshness - to even say that modesty means a woman must be completely covered (if you have seen Ali-Dawah's "whiteboard" video, he doesn't even allow his wife to speak with her voice because he considers her voice part of her beauty that must be covered. She has to write things on a whiteboard to him). However, our skin is meant to be in the sun, that's how we get Vitamin D. And we communicate a lot through the tone of our voice and facial expressions. Satan doesn't care if we go one way or the other, as long as we leave the path. The most blatant part though is the permissiveness for men. They can have 4 wives whom they can divorce at any time by saying a word 3 times. They can also practice temporary marriage, both sunni and shia, although some believe this was not so, the hadith vary on whether it was later outlawed by Mohammed or not. And lastly, it allows for sex slaves, "female captives in your possession" (Quran 4: 24). Compare this to what the Bible says, that sex is only between a married man and woman (1 Timothy 3: 2), and that divorce is only appropriate if a spouse commits adultery (Matthew 19: 3-9).
I know the last section is long, but I thought because you're muslim I would go into more detail. There is yet more I could add. Again, my intent is not to bash your religion, I am simply giving my understanding of what is true and what is false. I am only human, as is my ability to understand and my ability to judge.
What I do find interesting is how defined specific a particular religious sect is overwhelmingly predominant
depending on the location, in the middle east.
While Iran is considered Persian by dafault making up between 51% - 65% of it's population, it's also reported that about
40% of it's population do not speak Persian.
Iran is 99.4% Shia Muslims.
While Saudi Arabia ethnically are made up of Arabs, Afro-Arabs, and Asian expatriates, all of course which speak Arabic.
Saudi Arabia being 85% - 90% Sunni Muslims.
As I recall this has a lot to do with the differences in beliefs regarding who is recognized as somewhat ordained after
After Muhammed earthly death.
As his ascension took place before his death known as, The night journey and ascension of the Prophet Muhammad took place.
What happened in France was done by extremists. The majority of Muslims are peaceful. Just like with any religion or political party, there are a small minority of extremists. ❤
😀.
I respect both of you and this is your channel but you are also appealing to an American audience with your video choices. Therefore, I must say for clarity, that the difference between what Christians believe and what followers of Islam believe is that we believe that Jesus is God.
The France thing is a good example, it was big news here, still talked about by politicians trying to prove their point today. When the logical and obvious answer is the guy was unstable no matter what or where he came from.
Your correct they are mainly Shia
Actually, most Americans are pretty uneducated about Judaism too. I know that I am.
Many religions but there is only one true God👉God of Abraham,Moses and other Godly prophets.
Christians fast during Easter
I fast and I'm a Christian also believe in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I know that we have to get together to make the body of Christ and we can't do that without loving inspiring and taking care of each other
Just to clarify... The difference between Christianity and Islam when it comes to Jesus, is that while they do believe in Him, they see Him as a mortal man and a prophet, in the same way as Moses and Abraham, etc. Like the Jews, they do not believe that He is the begotten Son of God.
Lebanon thought like Tommy G. They helped the Palestinians and let the Palestinian refugees in even when Islamic nations didn't. And for their kindness they were repaid with 15 years of jen-o-side. It went from 70% Christian to less than half of that. And if it hadn't been for Israel, millions more would have died. Islam only feigns peace until they have enough for an army.
Whole purpose of fasting is not to eat meat (food coming from an once living being) for a period of time, so to cleanse body and spirit. Sorry, but as an Orthodox Christian I find fasting in Islam contradictory as Muslims don't eat during the day and eat at night (including meat) which defeats the whole purpose of it. But I understand - there's always contradictions in religion, there is such in Christianity, there is such in Islam, in Buddhism, etc.
