The content director of Lad Bible has literally transformed the channel - incredible journalism that’s all too rare.
I used to despise Ladbible for their babbling nonsensical articles with a headline like " old windscreen wiper falls off moving car in freakish dangerous clip"
Agreed. So much necessary praise for whoever is responsible for driving this change.
It really has come a long something amazing. It now has some of the most genuine content on UA-cam.
totally agree Callum....also the damage of banging your head on the ground for years is torture enough and on those hardened walls
Maybe they just needed to get attention and money. You know they say money shows your true colors. Perfect example of the question: What would you do if money didn't matter? I would litearally build my own society and country. .
I served in the Canadian Army as an Infantry soldier for 15 years and fought in Afghanistan. The similarities between this mans story and my own are scary.
@@youngonep9889 What an amazingly stupid reply
@@9Rizla9 what was the reply
@@hsein3838 Can't remember exactly but something very stupid and unrelated
haha you lost
Fought who?
When he said "sincerity does not excuse the person and justify the person doing reckless, irresponsible actions." the term "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" came to mind.
The one that came to my mind was 'the law of unforseen consequences',particularly when he talked about Afghanistan and CIA sponsorship
Russia invades Afghanistan,America support Muslims fighting against Russia with money/arms
Russia gets forced out,those extremist Muslims continue to fight against the new Afghanistan government,America supports the Afghanistan government against them with soldiers both soldiers and arms
The Afghanistan government gets overwhelmed and the american soldiers flee before they are killed by weapons that their government/the CIA supplied to fight the Russians
Seems rather ironic, but also very sad 😔,particularly when you hear what's happening to the ordinary people out there,most especially women
Yes, of you want to democratize and westernize a cou ntry you surely have good intentions. But the result is desastrous.
"The local people they don't move, you can't incite them to fight, they don't want to fight, they just want a common life, why can't we give them a political solution?".....hit hard.
they live in Mullah's World , we in West live in Rupert Murdoch World thats way
it him me AND HIM hard too. Those were such painful tears on his part :(
LadBible has really transitioned from dumb student memes to this level of content. Amazing.
This series especially is one of the absolute best on UA-cam.
Totally agree with you. Very impressive shift to maturity.
I was just thinking the same thing. I can unblock them from my feeds now.
Are you okay? Just another puppet of USA and NATO. It is not possible to be an ex "jihadist". Do you even know what Jihad means? Can you stop struggling over anything in life.
@@fahadmalik8862 Do you know what it means to have democracy for many years, then not be able to go to get an education or work because of outdated men and outdated texts...
How very eloquent. His tone and voice mannerisms are relaxing.
this is a piece of sh*t
@@markspencer171 He was a piece of shit. He seems to have learned from his mistakes.
@@JuanPyro anyone who thinks Islam is peaceful is ignorant. You are ignorant too.
@@markspencer171 Who said that I believe that it's peaceful?
@@JuanPyro shut up now go away
That was heavy. This guy is living his apologies every day. Listening to him, it is more understandable while soldiers are taking their own lives so regularly after coming back.
Sounds more like every time he brought up something he was sorry about, he brought up an excuse right after.
@@mmaybee2353 just like how you were the excuse for the failure your parents are😘🥰
There was an Australian soldier who recently came home after the Afghan withdrawal who struggled with that, he said it was so difficult and scary for him to leave and he felt like he'd betrayed them and got suicidal
@@zeitxgeist Statements like this have not been made since WWII.
@@zeitxgeist guy was prob making that stuff up to cover for all the war crimes
This man is so well spoken, I could listen to him speak all day. And everything he said was extremely eye opening.
This series is so good. It also makes a great argument for humanity and rehabilitation. A lot of these people have a story, it's not so black-or-white where people are "just evil".
Exactly. I now watched former "rough guy", drug runner and now this. If nothing else, the series shows people CAN change. And very thoroughly.
Black and White is never the case. You should still strike down people who are an immediate threat. But that's just for pragmatic reasons. Everyone is a result of forces acting upon them. Muslim extremism is a part of Islam that was originally mistrusted by other muslims. It was born in a time of great crisis where the mongols had destroyed much and particular religious movements tried to make sense of it as a punishment from god. This logic has been reawakened due to the very unstable conditions of the middle east. If american christianity where in the same position. You'd be delusional if you think that wouldnt turn out just the same. With violent militant Westboro Baptist churches cropping up all over the place.
We all are sinners. We have fall short bedore God
@@deedee8772 One doesn't need a "God" to believe in rehabilitation over punishment.
@@feministadentata4041 actually they do. Look into the psychology of tribalism. Read a bit. Everyone needs a higher being because humans are not capable of developing moral direction in the complete absence of structure. It might possibly happen as a random occurrence. But then that person will become the "God" of a society that lacks a God.
"FBI had meetings with Jihadist leaders" that hit me hard
foxbat
Why?
@@saidteacher3331 its proly still true, politics doesnt change!
He probably meant CIA, FBI is domestic US
Yeah, the US and Russia have been fighting proxy wars through jihadust sects for decades
Absolutely moving story, gave me so much perspective.
Its crazy how Ladbible went from completely irrelevant for a time to this. I was surprised to see videos like this pop up all of a sudden on my feed and find it was from them. This is incredible stuff and really an example of how you can use a platform to send a better message and educate people.
I've met and talked to this man and as a fellow surgeon was impressed by his integrity and courage. I myself have been kidnapped and tortured twice during my medical missions.
Whoever comes up with this content should get an award, can’t believe this is ladbible - usually associate it with mindless drivel to kill a few mins but this stuff really sticks to your thoughts
these are the types of videos we all need - thank you for sharing Manwar's story
It's easy for us growing up relatively safe here in the USA to say we wouldn't buy into the radical Islam beliefs. But I think if we grew up with this sort of violence all around us. If we had, we would want to do something about it. I can see how easy it would be to fall into a group who have a misguided agenda.
You could argue Americans do fall into groups with misguided agenda despite the relative safety. Politics, cults, social justice, and others are rife with stuff like this. Perhaps less violent, but violent nonetheless. Like the Capital Riot, BLM and ANTIFA riots, gang violence, and so on
Your comment seems to have some sort of bias hostility and passive aggression towards islam, seems a bit weird doesn't it Julia
What you mean radical islam
Isn't there any radical Christianity or white nationalism ?
@@Earthling.7 she isn’t saying there aren’t any, she just saying when you’ve grown up surrounded by violence, physically seen your brother die in front of you, it is easy to then want revenge. He grew up having these thoughts then made friends with people who thought exactly like him.
@@tsmk6599 she has no bias, she’s literally saying if she had his upbringing she may have followed in his shoes. Where is the hostility ??
This was a very eye opening interview. What an intelligent man who has seen the world first hand and chooses to improve it. Great content Ladbible.
This helps to gain some understanding why those boys do what they do. This stuff is the content mainstream media should focus more on. Great vid LAD.
LADs
Understand this war is hell and he'll is the impossibility of reason its because they hate Jesus Christ they hate the LORD God Of the Bible, there's no way back or forward hopeless irredeemable islam you wanna learn about the whys and wherefores of islam come to Infinity apologetics live chat with Christian prince you'll find answers there iam Hariel The Christian
@عروق الخيزران are you muslim ?
@@jonathanrh2684 They think the same about you. Check your ego
@@jonathanrh2684 Duh. Look at the squiggles that is his name, and look at what he said. Of course he is.
thank you for sharing his story. He really was sincere in answering the interviewers questions.
This was such a moving and impressive interview. I admire the courage and the internal integrity of this person. It is not at all easy to admit what he admits and to work on fixing it every single day, and helping other young people. Really impressive!
Keep up the good work and speak LOUDER! MANY more people need to hear your words!
Alot of people are doubting his sincerity and are nitpicking what he has to say without actually listening to his overall message. He nvr tried to excuse the things he did and he is just explaining the reality of how he came to be radicalized and the reason why he moved away from it was because of the senseless violence against Muslims and non Muslims that he had to be a part of and to witness. Ultimately his is a sad story of disillusionment and its exploitation and regret.
Senseless ..ya right..u know what was happening in 1971..what was Pakistan doing ?
He’s obviously still radical. His sorrow is derived from Muslim on Muslim hate. It’s clear to see
@@erickstanza8782 I think you mean he is still a muslim. Meaning he places a lot of importance on how Muslims treat one another and behave in general.
That doesn't make him a radical, that makes him a member of a collective.
@@adamclevi exactly
@@erickstanza8782 I have to agree with this, it feels like the reason he left is because Muslim on Muslim
12 minutes ain't enough. I hope people understand what he's trying to say and don't take wrong path
It’s so unique to hear it from someone who actually lived it and to hear it from his perspective. Quite like he said, I believe there’s always two sides to the story. I’m glad that he was able to have a change of heart and live the remainder of his life with a different viewpoint. That takes a lot of courage.
"i would say give up dogmatism" , great advice.
so many religious people followed dogmatism but not their own heart who told them that kindness is above all.
All religions have dogma. Even peaceful buddhism has dogma. Its best to have either minimal religion or no religion at all in your life. We must move on.
@@yurichtube1162 move on to nihilism and depression 👍🏻
Such a beautiful and powerful interview. This is a man, who has gained his wisdom the hard way. His inner peace shows in the way he talks. And he talks sense! More power to you, Sir! You have my respect.
Thank you Sir for sharing your experience. It is was heartbreaking to watch.
This is one of the most eye opening interviews I've ever seen.
Really enjoyed this, there’s so much under the surface when it comes to the other side and what could spur people to go down a violent path. I remember being on deployment back in 2017 and seeing the destruction that all that fighting did to the communities there and I could definitely see a young person being angered by that which unfortunately could make them susceptible to influence. I’m glad he got out and is using his experience to make the world a little better. 🙏🏾
If I tell people I’ve learnt anything on LadBible they will think I am crazy, but this series is truly top notch
That’s heavy. The world’s problems and solution succinctly defined, guided by humility and experience. A great man.
Wow y’all really outdone yourselves with this series. Keep it up 👍🏽
Wow I enjoyed this interview so much. Brilliant.
Grateful to see and hear a great man like this speak.
He was a horrible person for 20+ years.....
Amazing insight. Very brave man. Much respect to who you've become.
Thank you for the interview
Manwar, thank you so much for sharing your journey towards enlightenment and peace
This is a really insane story. I do always enjoy the people you bring in. But this is one of the best ones I’ve seen on your channel for a while.
Wouaw- he's gone through a lot since childhood. No wonder why he was a vulnerable target to enroll. Well done to him for finding the truth and inner peace.
he's saving lifes with this, thank you
So powerful.
Thank you. ❣
So insightful and how it seems that even the mistakes he confesses were initially motivated by a care for the community well-being. We obviously are waiting for better ideas to help the average person just trying to live. Community well-being is the basis for any successful society, this should be something that all people can agree on and work towards together.
Can't imagine what its like living in war-torn country, seeing your brother die, teaching awareness for 20 years without pay for it to mainly fall on deaf ears. Glad he saw the truth too many young ppl choose violence (of course a lot are forced). Hope he is at peace and more ppl can be like him 🙏
Excellent content. Love this
"12 minutes with" It's bringing amazing content... This one was so good
Manwar Ali does so much good and is a genuinely lovely person. I enjoyed meeting him a few years ago.
Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a more moving dissection of one's life
This interview was explosive !
THANKS fpor your words - sending love and compassion
What an amazing Man, he gives me hope for the future.
God bless this man. He reminds me so much of my late father it's insane.
That was profound thank you
Well I didn't;t expect that when clicking on a Lad Bible video. Absolutely breathtaking, what a guy.
What a lovely guy .. I'm so sorry hrs seen what he's seen and the family he's lost ❤️
honestly speaking he's a good man to have blown the lid off the j types, jazakallah khairn for this valuable insight 👍
Thank you very much Brother. Hope your message go as deep as possible. Let God judge us at the End of the Day . We no need to be the judge now.
This needs so many more updoots
Never thought I'd spend an hour watching LADbible interviews. This series is super insightful.
Incredibly candid and articulate - I learned a lot here
Beautiful interview
Whoa. That was heavy. This man has seen some rough times. Much respect to him.
This is wisdom. This is learning. This is progress.
This guy is very articulate and a great storyteller.
A few years ago I would never say ladbible is the UA-cam channel to watch, but now I can.
Thank you for sharing..
For all the ignorants, he is not a terrorist like you think he is. He is from the Mujahedeen that have fought the Soviets with the big support of the Western countries (especially USA and UK). Some of that Mujahedeen then turned into Taliban but not all of them. And some of them even tried to prevent the Taliban (like Shah Massoud).
How do you define a terrorist? What criteria, who produces the information that enables you to brand some people terrorists?
@@thamsanqakhoza7032 There is no objective definition so I just used the Western Goverments' perspective. They don't classify the organization that he went into as a terrorist organization
Its all relative, to the USSR mujahideen were terrorist to the west they were freedom fighters and now taliban is perceived as terrorists while some in Afghanistan see them as freedom fighters
@@user-yr2xr4fh5k yea this terrorism shit is mostly a concept which goverments use to illegitimize their enemies in the eyes of the international public. but i used western countries' definition for explaining purposes. if we make the definition as "every organization that kill civilians for its political, social or economical purposes is a terrorist organization" then most of the countries would be considered as terrorist :D
@@thamsanqakhoza7032 it's all very politicized and blurry, but terrorist generally refers to non-state actors which focus on civilian targets and public infrastructure in order to achieve their strategic means.
The only branch of the mujahedeen which you could make a proper case for being a terrorist organization was the Hezb-e Islami Gulbuddin due to their extensive attacks unto civilian targets during the Afghan Civil War and their relations with al-Qaeda.
what an educated, well-mannered gentleman!
Good interview thankyou. ✌️
Yet another very good program 👏
Huge respect to this man from the guy who was born in USSR, the country of his ex enemies.
I am also grateful to him that he mentioned Beslan
Whilst the elite pick and choose who our "enemies" are, most normal people don't care for the politics. At our core, we are all the same - we all just want to live our lives in peace, in a safe environment, with our basic needs met.
I'm a Brit and, for as long as I can remember, Brits and Russians are supposed to have been enemies. But everyone I know was utterly horrified by the Beslan atrocity. Our hearts went out to you and we united with you in grief, horror, and outrage. There was no "us & them", just a global "us" mourning catastrophic and unnecessary loss.
Regardless of the press, the propaganda, or whichever power-hungry egomaniac is in charge of either country, when it comes to the average citizen, more unites us than divides us.
And when it comes to the heartbreaking events at Beslan, many of us around the world stand with you 💕
@@georgina-a What about the 40k children and 250k innocent people russia killed in chechnya? Dind't had eye's for that huh?The Terrorist action in Beslan didn't happend without a reason. It's like for example Hitler attacking every country in europe and than crying why they'r being under attack....
@@ansur9890 Try reading my comment before ranting a reply. I said that most people want peace and I certainly didn't give a thorough breakdown (or even a passing comment) on the fairness of Russian politics. Just because someone mentions one thing doesn't mean that they don't care about another.
I'm not getting drawn into the debate you clearly want, that is unrelated to the thread you've posted on, but I will say this: the children of Beslan were not responsible for Russian policy in Chechnya. It's difficult for anyone to make a valid point or take the moral high ground when they've murdered children.
@@ansur9890 Everything happens for a reason. Doesn't make it right. If you're from Chechnya, you would know quite well it wasn't only russian army killing innocents. I've met plenty of people from there, stating "killing their own people'' by seperatists.
I could say much more, but don't see a point trying to bring some shades into your extreme black-and-white world. That fat maniac of a leader they had - failed to stop the bloodshed, so decided to take it out on kids and civilians who had nothing to do with that madness. If you justify that, i digress. This guy said it better.
@@georgina-a we don't hate each other and that's why we need to ignore our politicians who put war and stupid so called vaccines onto us.
A lot of respect for this. I don’t believe in god, but I respect that people do - whoever their god may be. Glad this guy came to terms with the fact that people are different
Why don’t you believe in god?
@@muza45 Just in case the OP doesn't respond, I'm 24 and live in the UK. Most people my age that I know don't believe in God because of the lack of evidence. And by that I mean scientific evidence. You can't see 'God', you can't measure 'God'. Sounds a lot like nothing
Good on ya brother, I'm in the exact same camp!!! I don't know if you're an American or not, but that's EXACTLY what we're SUPPOSED to have been founded on.....Regardless, glad to have you on my team!!!!
@@muza45 For the same reason you don't believe in bigfoot.
i dont respect terrorists. youre funny
Great piece.
Really great final words of this interview.
*That was the most elegant shed of tears..*
Jokes aside I can’t imagine how he feels.
lmfao
Hahahahaha yeah those tears seemed exaggerated
@@ashezz14 lol I meant the handkerchief. He composed himself well. I woulda had snot bubbles while telling this story lol.
Good for you. I saw war myself, and every day I hope that none of the people I care and love dearly will see things that I saw.
@@TUTENSKENGS I’m black but ok bro. Not sure what colour has to do with it
The word "jihad" is widely used, though often inaccurately, by Western politicians and media. In Arabic, the word means "effort" or "struggle". In Islam, it could be an individual's internal struggle against baser instincts, the struggle to build a good Muslim society, or a war for the faith against unbelievers. what is this guy on about....
well thought out replies and excellent insight.
Those interviews are so fucking important! Dangz fur Upload
This is a great man! All my respect to him!
BS. He is just saying what you want to hear
@@andrejturan2525 You already sound the type who does just that.
@@andrejturan2525 what exactly do you mean by that
Thank you Abu Muntasir, thank you LADbible TV
Amazing interview
Lad bible have really stepped there game up unreal content
What an amazing man , the world would be a much better place if we had more like him .🇬🇧
World also would be a good place if you stop judging every single muslim you see and stop you racism for brown people
@@Earthling.7 this goes the same for brown people.
@@katerkarlo159 they learnt it from White's they started this
Powerful stuff. This has educated me.
A very good man, with very good intentions and insight. 😊✌🏼🤝🏼
i really enjoyed this. Very good
Wow this really hit me in the heart. What a wonderful mission this man has; I wish the whole world could hear his message. God be with us, every one.
I remember watching the news in Russian and English about the Beslan School Siege, one of the most horrendous things I've ever watched on live TV. God bless this man's soul for realizing that most of us don't want to fight, but want to live and let live. rabuna yahmik!
Wa iyyaak
This interview was a banger
What a wonderful insightful man.
LADbible you are an oasis in the desert of modern "journalism".
This interview is really important people need to know these kind of extremists purposely focus on youth because they are more driven and easier to manipulate.
I shed tears with this man.
My Dad worked in Afghanistan & Iraq for about 6-7 years & the locals don't want war & terror.
The locals are true Muslims & its not in their religion to murder. They want peace & to live their life. Its the extremists that have a different view.
Such a well spoken guy. So polite, so emotionally descriptive and understanding of the world. A genuinely smart and friendly guy
i think that because he is smart he got out ..there are alot of uneducated poor people who can be easily brainwashed by those people
True, also when he mentions the horrors and atrocities that had an "effect" on him he smiles and laughs a little with an expression that someone would have when remembering a pleasant event that was dear to them. Absolutely normal reaction.
I too do that on a regular level.
You can tell he’s a good guy because he is softly spoken… than god you aren’t in charge of national security.
I feel that I want to give him a hug. .... and that's very strange for me.
He's probably such a nice and polite guy whose murdered people and done other horrible things. How naïve of you.
Big respect, man. To come out of that, well it's probably similar to getting out a gang or out of drug addiction, it's all you know.
I know what it is to find peace through faith, as silly as most (including myself) consider my faith. I'm comforted and pleased to hear this man having accomplished the same.
Impressively eloquent and intelligent person. Well educated and very interesting to listen to. How refreshing.
Great talk, very honest and compelling.
Is anyone else impressed by his command of English? And I'm not saying that just because he isn't white. There's a way about the words he used and how he spoke that makes it very easy and impressive to listen to.
Isn't he British?
@@lightspeeder not originally, he’s from Bangladesh, he says his father came to the UK as a refugee when he was 17.
I agree. There's something about the way he articulates his responses. Definitely takes more than just being good at english
somehow his wisdom bleeds through his words! An amazing video
He speaks better English than most English 👍🏼
A highly intelligent man dealing with over population and people without answers.
Really like this guy a lot of genuine emotion and regret.
