“Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam....We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam....Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.” -Sami Mukaram (1931-2012)
Maybe I will not use "honesty" word, I might use "careful, or modification or other words with similar meaning' Reason for me saying that is because Islam is violent and people are not that willing to risk livelihood due to saying true things about Islam. I was born in Muslim environment, practiced as Muslim until college; no more; I am behind Sam Harris and.... I am thinking of Muslim followers left behind!
Ben Affleck was wrong. I'm glad he freaked out though so discourse on this subject can begin in the public. Criticizing a religion, is NOT RACIST. A religion is not a person, it does not have a skin color, it is a set of ideas and doctrines, all of which should be logically scrutinized by anyone subjected to them.
Ben Affleck should read and study the quran in its entirety before making the claim islam is peaceful and tolerant of all faiths and humanity. Quite the contrary.
@@quigeeboh677 actually you should read the quran like idk Quran 9:29 saying to fight those who dont believe in allah. Islam is not peaceful especially not tolerant
@My choice Yes I agree 100% However as so many people now need reminding, offence isn't given, its taken. And with so many illiterate, inbred, superstitious nutters running around and no one in control, the west has become a very dangerous place.
@@renadog1 I completely disagree that the West is a dangerous place, Western civilisation is a wonderful existence that stands head and shoulders above every other cradle of humanity to come before it as far as I'm aware. Compared to other places in the world it's remarkable, considering I can't be beheaded for making fun of somebodies imaginary friend. That being said, it isn't perfect. And the fact that we can say whatever we want without being arrested is helping us improve it all the time.

Abdulla Al Jenaibi who gives a shit about history? We're talking about NOW. And right now there are 78% of muslims in the UK who don't want freedom of speech. If the christian majority in the UK held the same stupid belief, muslims wouldn't be allowed to practice their beliefs. And here you are talking about the Golden Age and Dark ages? who gives a shit about the history of following incorrect principles?
Justin Beagley Because idiots like you think the problem is with the religion itself. Maybe the issue is with the people misinterpreting the religion (just like with all the Ibrahimic religions not just Islam). We have so-called "intellectuals" spouting nonsense like "the mother lode of bad ideas" and calling the Muslim nation (1.6 BILLION people) terrorists and extremists and he has the gal to call himself civilized. And if you think you can't learn anything from history then please.. do me a favor and just back the fuck off.

@@sulskull You Dumb ass Idiot.. Going through your comment u just made his whole point Valid. Same applies to the current MUSLIMs ... As you commented " The apostate is first given 3 days to repent and comeback to Islam. If he doesn't want to, he can simply leave the Islamic country and the punishment (execution) will not be applied. If he chooses to stay in the Islamic country as an apostate then he is a dumbass, you don't want to be part of the religion then fuck off". Apply the same template on the current Muslims (in non majority Muslim Countries) who don't want to believe in the Law of the land and they just want to believe in their own Sharia law then they can be called as ""Outlaws". You also should be give the same reason of apostate where "" The OUTLAW is first given 3 days to repent and comeback to Law of the land. If he doesn't want to, he can simply leave the "Non Muslim country" and the punishment (execution) will not be applied. If he chooses to stay in the "Non Muslim Non Sharia Complaint" country as an Outlaw then he is a dumbass, you don't want to be part of the Country and its Laws then fuck off"... So easy isn't it. I hope how u made his whole point Valid. Just keep defending like and idiot rather than self correct yourself. IDIOT
I can. First of all, martydom is NOT required in Islam. You go to heaven if you die fighting (Which is reasonable because you died for God), but that's only if your in a war to defend Islam if it's being challanged or fighting in Allah's cause. You do NOT have to die fighting, It's just that you get rewarded for martydom. If you explode a bomb killing many people and dying in the process, that's not good. There was no need.
@Ibrahim Khan you don't need to believe anything just look at the facts all around you! I am not even talking about countries like afganistan or Pakistan! I am talking about European countries like Paris France etc...where people are beheaded (literally) for just showing a picture of your pedophile prophet! And you call that peaceful? Forgiving? Have you seen Christians do that when Jesus is made fun of? Hindus? Jews? Buddhists? No only islam does such barbaric stuff! The rest of the religions let's their god do the judgement and punishment because they don't see their god as a week pathetic failure who needs the help of humans to pass judgement!
For those interested in hearing more about his position, here are some of Sam Harris's books that I'd recommend: --The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason --Letter to a Christian Nation --The Moral Landscape: How Science Can Determine Human Values
Why do people claim racism when criticism is raised against islam, but literally no other religion? If I practice Catholicism, do I become Italian? If I become Buddhist, am I asian?
@@TheBlaze4000 Good to know Sherlock. but decent discussions don't work like that, if you want to attack and demean that means you're full of lies and BS. and that's what the west always do when the matter is about Islam. stereotyping, putting verses out of context and technically suppressing anyone holding the correct perspective like dr.zakir nike iirc they've banished him from entering the uk only because of his views which are not fundamentalist. but come as an apologetic who supports lgbtq+ and they'd probably even pay you to speak
@@abdulkadir2959 I'm pretty sure Muslims do the same regarding those that don't follow your religion. You guys think athiests all believe in far left ideology for instance. You even referenced the LGBT community in your comment. Secondly free speech has limits when free speech threatens lives. That so called doctor doesn't believe in basic human rights for groups Muslims are often demeaning to like gays, non Muslims and even women. If I'm not mistaken anti Muslims like Lauren southern get the same treatment because the West is at least consistent. I wonder if a Muslim country would protect non Muslim citizens from outspoken anti-nonmuslims, but you and I both know that would never happen.
@@TheBlaze4000 "But at least the west is consistent" Yeah sure, it's why aggressive social movements have been thriving, BLM, feminism etc.. if it was consistent people would never revert to such extreme ideologies. if the west was consistent it would have allowed muslims to utilize the freedom of speech same as many others, and by many others I mean the ones demeaning Islam and muslims, more so rather cheering for their death under the very vague concept of "terrorism". a dude in the usa got sentenced for 16 years for demeaning the lgbtq+ flag iirc burning it or just stepping on it. he removed it off a church, and bom, 16 years. it's a flag, really, he didn't commit a homicide. it's usually the logic the atheists use when attacking religions and religious figures and symbols and God. "but he didn't hurt anyone". now will anyone get a year in prison for doing any such demeaning action towards muslims? or heck even against Christians? I have mentioned lgbtq+ because it's being the new religion. and it's being forced by every and each mean possible, by force, by terrorizing people like the dude who got charged with domestic terrorism because he filed a case against a trans who sexually assaulted his girl. by teasing people with songs like "yes we're coming after your children" then actually the list having possible matches with previous sex offenders. yet nobody is stereotyping them, hating on them or attacking them globally with the media support.

I’m impressed with your honesty and ability to critically examine Islam. Unfortunately, there's no amount of fact shown to a Muslim from the Quran or Hadiths or from history that will change a Muslim's mind. Your words are powerful. What you repeatedly say to yourself, regardless of its validity, becomes your truth and belief. Muslims are made to recite the same mantra first thing in the morning and 5 times daily. This daily recital causes not just a strong emotional attachment to Allah and the Prophet Mohammed, but it also causes the mental inflexibility that makes Muslims unable to accept any information that’s against Allah or his Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). Unfortunately, once a person believes something to be true, (regardless of the truth of that thing. ) that person will instinctively accept and seek out facts and data to support the validity of that belief, no matter how false they may be. Conversely, when you believe that something is false, your mind automatically goes to work to prove why that thing is wrong and impossible. Muslims are sincerely honest people who are victims of self brainwashing. The Muslim mind, because of repetition, is usually humming the Al Fatiha and is enslaved by it's own rituals. Muslims can’t objectively analyze or accept any fact that’s contrary to their daily recitals. Muslims are thus unable to criticize Allah, the Quran or the Prophet Mohammed. This is why it’s almost impossible to convince a praying Muslim that God’s nature isn’t necessarily constrained into a singular entity, or that Prophet Mohammed is flawed, or that Christians aren't deceived, and Jews are not cursed. Your words are powerful. What you say repeatedly to yourself is more compelling than what someone else tells you. You will always believe whatever you recite. Be careful what you daily recite. 🙏🏾

@@mesuturazin472 yah but a serial killer isn't usually killing people because the bible or some Christian leader told him to. The issue people have with Islam is not that some Muslims are killing people, it's that some people are killing other people due to their faith in Islam.

But to somewhat outside the religion, both are equally real in that they are both based on entirely fictitious assumptions.

An analogy. All firearms are inherently dangerous, but a modern high capacity fully automatic assault weapon is more dangerous than a very old single shot .22 rifle.

Valerie Tarico He is happy BECAUSE the Danish cartoons enraged some MUSLIMS and they started rioting. He is always giving the impression that muslims are irrational and sensitive about the depiction of Muhammed in the cartoons and that they ALWAYS screaming ISLAMOPHOBIA. But 14 million Jews have made our ears go deaf with their eternal victim STATUS and their eternal accusation that all the GENTILE WORLD IS A VICIOUS antisemitic PHENOMONA. This Jew is vindictive , sectarian, psychopathic little turd who claims to be a rational atheist but his atheistic, rational DISCOURSE is directed to Muslims and ISLAM ONLY. He has a fixation on ISLAM like the other JEW CARL GOLBERG who openly say in a very sectarian, painful language that ISLAM is not a RELIGION LIKE ANY OTHER RELIGION BUT both an IDEOLOGY and a RELIGION . He would like to deprive us all FORMS of ISLAM from their STATUS of BEING called a RELIGION. Carl GOLDBERG this little Jewish ZIONIST arrogant piece of shit INSTALLED him SELF as a decider BETWEEN what is a RELIGION and what is an IDEOLOGY. He then after calling all schools of Islam as an IDEOLOGY, He based on that premise that the mosque is a mere PROPOGATION for their IDEOLOGY: ISLAM.
Valerie Tarico I have noticed that in his book : the end of FAITH. He talks about how a Palestinian GUY was successfully able to turn himself into a suicide BOMBER in an ISRAELI city. He then ASKED rhetorically I am sure you have guessed what that man RELIGION IS. He then WROTE an article about how we should PROFILE MUSLIMS . He urged AMERICANS to deal with Muslims in American airports the way ISRAELIS deal with PALESTINIAN MUSLIMS. He believes that CHRISTIAN PALESTINIANS deal with the INHUMANE and mistreatment in a way that is DIFFERENT than the way the PALESTINIAN who are MUSLIMS. He once said that I UNDERSTAND the mistreatment that PALESTINIANS suffer at the hand of ISRSELIS. He never tackle these ISSUES. Why CREATE the atmosphere that create VIOLENT riots on the part of the PALESTINIANS. Why allow the ISRAELIS to mistreat PALESTINIANS. Why can't ISRSELIS deal HUMANELY with PALESTINIANS.

as soon as he mentioned jihad I knew this guy needs more education.because jihad doesn't have the meaning you see on the media smh.Armed jihad is not meant to force non-Muslims into Islam. There are many Qur’anic verses that order Muslims to live in peace with any peaceful people, whether Muslims or not. This is clear, for instance, in the following verses: Allah does not forbid you [O you who believe!] from beind kind and just to those who have not waged war against you because of your religion and have not driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are just(60.8). He only forbids you from making friends with those who have waged war against you because of your religion, have driven you out of your homes, and have supported others in driving you out. And whoever makes friends with them, these are the wrongdoers (60.9). And Quran mentions apostasy quite a few times but never does it say that that person should be killed or whatever by another person. Quran clearly states that there is no better judge than Allah and the JUDGMENT day will be by him. The holy Quran clearly states that you shouldn't force someone into Islam. "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256) Also taking sex slaves?????????????
"Allah does not forbid you from being kind and just to those who have not waged war against you because of your religion..." I could see how that verse, when taken out of context, could supply those who do terrorism, tbh. Because who counts as "waging war against you because of your religion"? Is it anyone who criticizes Islam? Is it someone who just generally doesn't like Islam and talks about not liking it? Is it literal war, with guns and bombs? I think us Non-Muslims are just confused by that...

Ok, no problem well, first, there is a thing called freedom of speech, and secondly, you are cherry-picking about 0.0001 percent of Muslims and every religion has its good people and bad people, and you also have to remember Sahih Haddiths WAS MADE 846 CE / 232 AH which is much different from now days Also you are ignoring all the other things that Islam has said about peace See as a Muslim I don't agree with gay people, but I ain't killing them plus in 846 CE / 232 AH it was normal to see this, and you can even see in the Old Testament is MUCH more violent than Islam Also I'm not that educated on this topic, so I would recommend you go to a local mosque or a real Islamic scholar to get a better answer anyways other than that Have a great day!
maalik islam You effectively tried to say I have a disease, because I don't believe what you believe, then block me from commenting on your thread, and block me so you can't hear me.

First blunder, jihadi violence is not Islam. Millions of muslims have spoken out on terrorist attacks and any forms of violence. Every Sheikh across the board condemned these types of actions. Secondly, the 1.8 Billion muslims do take there religion very seriously. They don't pick and choose what to follow. Not taking it seriously would take you out of islam. Every Muslim knows this.
Liberals aren't taking it easy on Muslims. Nobody is you idiot. The cartoon was wrong but again whatever violence was committed was 100 percent against Islam."ISIS" killing people, this guy is lost.

When it comes to Islam, honesty goes out of the window for the mainstream media.
As does sanity
“Taqiyya is of fundamental importance in Islam....We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam....Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.”

Ben Affleck was wrong. I'm glad he freaked out though so discourse on this subject can begin in the public. Criticizing a religion, is NOT RACIST. A religion is not a person, it does not have a skin color, it is a set of ideas and doctrines, all of which should be logically scrutinized by anyone subjected to them.
this shouldn't need to be said though. The fact this needs to be said is concerning.

Apply the same template on the current Muslims (in non majority Muslim Countries) who don't want to believe in the Law of the land and they just want to believe in their own Sharia law then they can be called as ""Outlaws". You also should be give the same reason of apostate where "" The OUTLAW is first given 3 days to repent and comeback to Law of the land. If he doesn't want to, he can simply leave the "Non Muslim country" and the punishment (execution) will not be applied. If he chooses to stay in the "Non Muslim Non Sharia Complaint" country as an Outlaw then he is a dumbass, you don't want to be part of the Country and its Laws then fuck off"... So easy isn't it.

I can. First of all, martydom is NOT required in Islam. You go to heaven if you die fighting (Which is reasonable because you died for God), but that's only if your in a war to defend Islam if it's being challanged or fighting in Allah's cause. You do NOT have to die fighting, It's just that you get rewarded for martydom. If you explode a bomb killing many people and dying in the process, that's not good. There was no need.

a dude in the usa got sentenced for 16 years for demeaning the lgbtq+ flag iirc burning it or just stepping on it.
he removed it off a church, and bom, 16 years.
it's a flag, really, he didn't commit a homicide.
it's usually the logic the atheists use when attacking religions and religious figures and symbols and God. "but he didn't hurt anyone".
now will anyone get a year in prison for doing any such demeaning action towards muslims? or heck even against Christians?
I have mentioned lgbtq+ because it's being the new religion.
and it's being forced by every and each mean possible, by force, by terrorizing people like the dude who got charged with domestic terrorism because he filed a case against a trans who sexually assaulted his girl.
by teasing people with songs like "yes we're coming after your children" then actually the list having possible matches with previous sex offenders.

I’m impressed with your honesty and ability to critically examine Islam.
Unfortunately, there's no amount of fact shown to a Muslim from the Quran or Hadiths or from history that will change a Muslim's mind.
Your words are powerful. What you repeatedly say to yourself, regardless of its validity, becomes your truth and belief.
Muslims are made to recite the same mantra first thing in the morning and 5 times daily. This daily recital causes not just a strong emotional attachment to Allah and the Prophet Mohammed, but it also causes the mental inflexibility that makes Muslims unable to accept any information that’s against Allah or his Prophet Mohammed (pbuh).
Unfortunately, once a person believes something to be true, (regardless of the truth of that thing. ) that person will instinctively accept and seek out facts and data to support the validity of that belief, no matter how false they may be.
Conversely, when you believe that something is false, your mind automatically goes to work to prove why that thing is wrong and impossible.
Muslims are sincerely honest people who are victims of self brainwashing. The Muslim mind, because of repetition, is usually humming the Al Fatiha and is enslaved by it's own rituals. Muslims can’t objectively analyze or accept any fact that’s contrary to their daily recitals. Muslims are thus unable to criticize Allah, the Quran or the Prophet Mohammed.
This is why it’s almost impossible to convince a praying Muslim that God’s nature isn’t necessarily constrained into a singular entity, or that Prophet Mohammed is flawed, or that Christians aren't deceived, and Jews are not cursed.
Your words are powerful. What you say repeatedly to yourself is more compelling than what someone else tells you. You will always believe whatever you recite.
Be careful what you daily recite. 🙏🏾

It's startling to see Don Lemon not reach instinctively for 'racism' in a conversation and to discuss various ideas surrounding the claim. Donald Trump and politics of the last few years have destroyed the man's ability to discuss real questions and I forgot that he was ever a serious news person.

Hey you can take this as just an opinion from an ex muslim born and raised in the heart of the middle east, and as someone who once was very religious, Islam is no where near being a peaceful religion, those who say otherwise are either liars or incredibly ignorant
It's beliefs from birth... taught as a way of life. Not just central...

Of course it's a mother lode of bad ideas. It's not designed for good, just control.
It's very aggravating to me how many different ways we have to say the same thing, and still people can't seem to digest it - Islam sucks - get over it. It's not worth defending. Go, live your life without crappy ideas. I don't care what color you are, but if you think Muhammad was a nice guy, or that obeying his commandments is a good idea - you're an idiot - and that's not racist.
Oh really

It is crazy how people are afraid to criticize Islam. I do strongly believe in respecting ALL people, but this does not extend to respecting all ideas. Religious dogmatism being the chief culprit.
"And you will surely hear from those who were given the Scripture before you and from those who associate others with Allah/Creator many hurtful things.But if you are patient and mindful of Allah/Creator - indeed,that is of the matters (worthy) of resolve."

as soon as he mentioned jihad I knew this guy needs more education.because jihad doesn't have the meaning you see on the media smh.Armed jihad is not meant to force non-Muslims into Islam. There are many Qur’anic verses that order Muslims to live in peace with any peaceful people, whether Muslims or not. This is clear, for instance, in the following verses: Allah does not forbid you [O you who believe!] from beind kind and just to those who have not waged war against you because of your religion and have not driven you out of your homes. Surely Allah loves those who are just(60.8). He only forbids you from making friends with those who have waged war against you because of your religion, have driven you out of your homes, and have supported others in driving you out. And whoever makes friends with them, these are the wrongdoers (60.9).
And Quran mentions apostasy quite a few times but never does it say that that person should be killed or whatever by another person. Quran clearly states that there is no better judge than Allah and the JUDGMENT day will be by him.
The holy Quran clearly states that you shouldn't force someone into Islam. "There is no compulsion in religion" (2:256)
Also taking sex slaves?????????????
"Allah does not forbid you from being kind and just to those who have not waged war against you because of your religion..."
I could see how that verse, when taken out of context, could supply those who do terrorism, tbh. Because who counts as "waging war against you because of your religion"? Is it anyone who criticizes Islam? Is it someone who just generally doesn't like Islam and talks about not liking it? Is it literal war, with guns and bombs? I think us Non-Muslims are just confused by that...

Ok, no problem well, first, there is a thing called freedom of speech, and secondly, you are cherry-picking about 0.0001 percent of Muslims and every religion has its good people and bad people, and you also have to remember Sahih Haddiths WAS MADE 846 CE / 232 AH which is much different from now days Also you are ignoring all the other things that Islam has said about peace See as a Muslim I don't agree with gay people, but I ain't killing them plus in 846 CE / 232 AH it was normal to see this, and you can even see in the Old Testament is MUCH more violent than Islam Also I'm not that educated on this topic, so I would recommend you go to a local mosque or a real Islamic scholar to get a better answer anyways other than that Have a great day!

He's saying he has a problem with Islam jihadi violence, not the 1.5 Billion muslims that don't take their religion seriously. LoL
First blunder, jihadi violence is not Islam. Millions of muslims have spoken out on terrorist attacks and any forms of violence. Every Sheikh across the board condemned these types of actions. Secondly, the 1.8 Billion muslims do take there religion very seriously. They don't pick and choose what to follow. Not taking it seriously would take you out of islam. Every Muslim knows this.
Liberals aren't taking it easy on Muslims. Nobody is you idiot. The cartoon was wrong but again whatever violence was committed was 100 percent against Islam."ISIS" killing people, this guy is lost. The Muslims he mentioned was his strip club buddies. You can see majed on UA-cam harassing some stripper and getting kicked out. That's your islamic source, no wonder you don't know anything about Islam. This guy is a arrogant islamophobic hater.
Poo in loo
The more I hear Sam talk about Islam the more I realise its true as he is just making it up
more people expose the ignorant evil nonsense of islam more sounds true to you. it says a lot about your intelligence
Read the fucking hadith
this is from Pakistan..regarding their rule on no sex before marriage.."A six-day-old child was burnt to death. We also found the corpses of babies who had been hanged, or who had been partly eaten by animals," Anwar Kazmi, a manager at the Edhi Foundation, told DW.
"I can never forget one incident. A woman left a child in front of a mosque hoping that somebody would adopt him. But the cleric of the mosque ordered the people to stone the child to death. I saw the mutilated and torn body of the child myself," he recalled.
That is horrific
You're a liar.
Note that infantacide was also practiced by the Greek-Romans maybe its a poverty thing

Sam Harris has no idea what he is talking about. Quran is very contextual and he does not seem to know the context of Jihad and other similar concepts.
Whenever I watch or read something about religious insanity, no matter what flavor, I'm grateful to be an atheist. Religion should be a private matter but never mix up in any way with politics.
Militant atheism is just as bad
Politics, policy, is always rooted in core values which is every individual’s ‘religion’ - even if said religion is no religion.
So true, great to have clever minds on the side of rational thinking.
