There can only be one Ben.

Ben seems off, way too upset, cannot talk normally and is ruining the conversation. Overly angry and It’s a huge turnoff.
Sam Harris is like Matt Damon in "Good Will Hunting" and Ben Affleck is like Ben Affleck in "Good Will Hunting"
🤣 he went full retarded for that role
Minus the humility to see it, because his character did.
Comment of the century lmao
This might be the best comment ever.
Best comment ever!!
“That’s big of you” Matt Damon must be the most patient man on earth.
Matt Damon is as twisted as his " Cambridge " bud
Christendom is the empirial religion, born under the auspices of constantine, the subjects were converted at the edge of the sword and rendered into slaves for his majesty, often referring to him as their lord. In Islam such slavery is unthinkable. The only lordship is that of the creator, no station into which man was brought into the lands of Islam was to any degree as bad as the repugnant chattel slavery brought by the primitive tribalism inherent in their texts. Constantine chose regularly to refer to himself as the “servant of God” (famulus dei/therapon tou theou) in official writings. By the fifth century, this metaphor of subordination had been redeployed from theological to political contexts as the subjects of the emperor came to refer to themselves as “slaves of the emperor.” And by the sixth, Justinian insisted all his officials swear an oath that they would demonstrate their service to the emperor “with genuine slavehood” (gnesia douleia).b Building on Paul’s revalorization of the vocabulary of slavery, and particularly the word doulos came to be applied to a variety of hierarchical relationships, even as it also continued to be used specifically of chattel slaves. By the middle Byzantine period, this expansion of the semantic range of the root doul- eventually gave the abstract nominal form douleia, meaning laborer
Insofar as everyone who partook in labor was considered to be a participant This epistemological world view is coherent with master-slave dynamic relationship between the head of the state and his subjects, or rather slaves.
The word עוֹלֵל, ʿôlēl which means 'Babe, infant, little one, a suckling' occurs 21 King James Bible Verses Of these verses:
“Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” -Psalm 137:9
“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”-1 Samuel 15:3
“Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.”-Hosea 13:16
The other verses are not much different. Infact it is always in association with violence. Indeed these verses are the reason why in the Crusades the sense of pious rejoicing at massacre does not appear to be the product of later theologizing; it is also found, in the account of the eye-witness Raymond of Aguilers:
“in the Temple and porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins. Indeed, it was a just and splendid judgment of God that this place should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers, since it had suffered so long from their blasphemies.” In fact, Raymond continues, “This day, I say, will be famous in all future ages, for it turned our labours and sorrows into joy and exultation; this day, I say, marks the justification of all Christianity, the humiliation of paganism, and the renewal of our faith.”
Another account by a chronicler and eyewitness-priest, Albert of Aachen, describes the killing of fleeing women, and depicts crusaders as::
“seizing [infants who were still suckling] by the soles of their feet from their mothers’ laps or their cradles…and dashing them against the walls or lintels of the doors and breaking their necks […] they were sparing absolutely no gentile of any age or kind.”The incoherence inherent in a stranger to Abraham calling the children of Abraham gentiles notwithstanding, this account evokes the very same Psalm 137:9 imprecation against Babylon, in Latin, “beatus qui tenebit et adlidet parvulos tuos ad petram.”
Albert describes a massacre occurring, in cold blood, on the second day following the conquest, painting a scene that is as horrific as it is realistic and detailed:
"Girls, women, matrons, tormented by fear of imminent death and horror-struck by the violent murder wrapped themselves around the Christians’ bodies in the hope to save their lives, even as the Christians were raving and venting their rage in murder of both sexes. Some threw themselves at their feet, begging them with pitiable weeping and wailing for their lives and safety. When children five or three years old saw the cruel fate of their mothers and fathers, of one accord they stepped up the weeping and pitiable clamour. But they were making these signals for pity and mercy in vain. For the Christians gave over their whole hearts to murder, so that not a suckling little male-child or female, not even an infant of one year would escape the hand of the murderer".
Evoking several of these verses in practice:
- (Num 31:17-18) Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
- (Deut 7:2, 9:3, Num 21) thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them...
- (Ezek 9:6) Slay utterly old [and] young both maids and little children and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] mark begin at my sanctuary.
This is the polar opposite in the Quran in Surah Al-Tanwir, literally "The Englightenining" Surah, Aya 8-9, we have the death of a newborn is mentioned amongst the penultimate signs of the end of times, emphasizing the gravity of such an action. That child, now resurrected, is asked for what wrong doing was she murdered. This is to emphasize that she had done nothing wrong, for she had done nothing wrong and this is the day of retribution where those who omitted the evil are to be punished.
This is the polar opposite in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190, which exhorts to fight unbelievers and not be "Aggressors", in the commentary of what it means to be aggressors, this was stated Al-Hasan Al-Basri stated that transgression (indicated by the Ayah):
"includes mutilating the dead, theft (from the captured goods), killing women, children and old people who do not participate in warfare, killing priests and residents of houses of worship, burning down trees and killing animals without real benefit."
This is also the opinion of Ibn `Abbas, `Umar bin `Abdul-`Aziz, Muqatil bin Hayyan and others. Muslim recorded in his Sahih that Buraydah narrated that Allah's Messenger said: "Fight for the sake of Allah and fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Fight, but do not steal, commit treachery, mutilate, or kill a child, or those who reside in houses of worship."
It is reported in the Two Sahihs that Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet forbade killing women and children."
بابتداء القتال أو بقتال من نهيتم عن قتاله من النساء والشيوخ والصبيان والذين بينكم وبينهم عهد أو بالمثلة أو بالمفاجأة من غير دعوة
"To kill those whom you were forbidden to from women, elderly, children and those whom betwixt you is a treaty or custom or by surprise or without cause"
-Tafsir Al-Zamakshari of the meaning of Aggressors in the Aya
More hadith from Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah:
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَوْلَى لِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ جُيُوشَهُ قَالَ: «§لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَصْحَابَ الصَّوَامِعِ»
"Do not kill the dwellers of monasteries"
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ جُوَيْبِرٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ: كَانَ «§يُنْهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَالشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ»
سَعْدٍ قَالَ: «§نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالذُّرِّيَّةِ، وَالشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا حَرَاكَ بِهِ»
"The prophet forbids the killing of women, children, and the elderly"
This is the polar opposite in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Anfal Ayah 61 in which even oath breaking deniers/unbelievers are allowed to sue for peace states if the unbelievers they ask for peace, give it to them.
Stephen Langton, the writer of the Magna Carta (12th century, contemporary with the crusades for a reason) studied in the university of Paris which archives show had plenty of Arabic treatises in its procession, there can be no question about it being inspired by the "Sharia". both the renessiance and the european enlightenment were directly preceded by massive translation movements form Arabic (see the Republic of Letters by Alexander Bevilacqua, The House of Wisdom: How the Arabs Transformed Western Civilization By: Jonathan Lyons.
The modifiable testament testament commands indiscriminate killing, genocide, plunder, mutilation, enslavement, or torture of enemies, including women, on the other hand.Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190 limits war to those who fight against Muslims, prohibits transgression, and implies respect for human dignity and life Indeed it is what precedes the famous "sword verse", always cited out of context.
God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.
Surah Al-Imran Aya 49, of the Quran states that jesus was sent to the israelites, although written over 1,300 years ago in the 19th century (same century bible was only transtalted into Arabic in as well) they came to the same conclusion, He never used or heard the words Christian or Christianity or any equivalent of either.
Paul had neither met nor seen Jesus, his relation to the twelve apostles was one of decided independence and even of opposition. He acknowledged no subordination to them. He addressed no doctrinal epistle to them or their churches, and received none from them. He made no reports to them. He did not correspond with them regularly. They never invited him to preach to their congregations and he never invited them to address his converts. He declared that he did not owe his conversion, his baptism, or his doctrine to the twelve, and that he never spent any long time in Jerusalem or in Judea as a Christian missionary. He claimed to be an apostle by a secret divine commission, but the twelve never admitted the validity of his claim. They never gave him the title of apostle; they never said anything indicative of willingness to admit him into their councils. Vacancies occurred in their number, but they never chose him to a vacant place, rather we have statements of Peter with regards to Paul which show nothing but animosity:
"And if our Jesus appeared to you also and became known in a vision and met you as angry with an enemy [recall: Paul had his vision while still persecuting the Christians: Acts 9], yet he has spoken only through visions and dreams or through external revelations. But can anyone be made competent to teach through a vision? And if your opinion is that that is possible, why then did our teacher spend a whole year with us who were awake? How can we believe you even if he has appeared to you?… But if you were visited by him for the space of an hour and were instructed by him and thereby have become an apostle, then proclaim his words, expound what he has taught, be a friend to his apostles and do not contend with me, who am his confidant; for you have in hostility withstood me, who am a firm rock, the foundation stone of the Church"
-Homily 17 Section XIX
On the pauline credo currently called trinitanity Peter said
"For some from among the Gentiles have rejected my lawful preaching and have preferred a lawless and absurd doctrine to the man who is my enemy. And indeed some have attempted, while I am still alive, to distort my words by interpretations of many sorts, as if I taught the dissolution of the law… But that may God forbid ! For to do such a thing means to act contrary to the Law of God which was made to Moses and was confirmed by our Lord in its everlasting continuance. For he said, “The heaven and the earth will pass away, but not one jot or one tittle shall pass away from the Law.”
-Letter of Peter to James, 2.3-5
Soon after Jesus had selected his twelve apostles, according to Luke, he
" gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them: 'Take nothing for your journey, neither staves nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence depart. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them."
This is the entire charge of Jesus to his apostles when he sent them out to convert the world, as reported by Luke, who claims to give the address or a portion of it, and that presumably the most important portion, word for word. The language here attributed to Jesus conveys no idea that he had any purpose of founding a new church. Neither here nor anywhere else, in the language attributed to him in the New Testament, does he explain the phrase " the kingdom of God " to mean a new ecclesiastical organization. In several passages he does use it to signify the celestial dominion after the destruction of the world; and this is therefore presumably its meaning everywhere.
The gospel of Matthew is much further than that of Luke in its report of the charge of Jesus to his apostles: "These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying: 'Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not; but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.", "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I am come not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother... He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward."
This charge, as reported by Matthew omitted nearly all the main ideas that would have been appropriate in an address instructing the twelve to preach the foundation of Christianity. It does not say whether Jesus wished to reform or to supersede Judaism; whether his principal purpose was ecclesiastical, moral, political, or sanitary. The remarks about healing the sick and casting out devils is the most explicit of all the instructions.
Certainly no reader can learn from that charge that Jesus intended to establish a new religion; and much less can he learn any feature of the faith or discipline of a projected new church. And this address is that portion of the New Testament where such information should be given most clearly. He made no doctrinal definition and no ecclesiastical organization. He did not use the key words of the original doctrines necessary to Christianity or a new church, nor the keywords of ideas afterwards associated with Christianity, such as Incarnation, Trinity, Immaculate Conception, and Transubstantiation.
The subjects to which the most space or most prominence is given in the sayings attributed, in the gospels, to Jesus, are, First, the Mosaic law; Second, judgment day; Third, faith; Fourth, the sins of the Pharisees; Fifth, ascetic morality; and Sixth, his divine commission.
Triune nonsense is straight out of the Roman Pantheon. Hercules, anyone? Cerberus? The trinity of Zeus, Athena Apollo, literally called the Triune. Greek goddess Hecate was portrayed in triplicate, a three-in-one. This was all done to make the creed more digestible, followed by mental gymnastics attempting to reconcile the onsensical with elaborate theories. Why doesn't a square peg fit into a round hole? Answer by saying it's a mystery instead of geometries not lining up. No such thing as the bible, the new testament is a concoction of several books that were deemed canonical, books written in Greek that were given the hellenized names of Apotsles who neither wrote, nor spoke greek to give it an illusion of antiquity, much like the calendar we have today, which was established in the year 535 CE by Dionysus Exegesis so too was the original message altered to that of the pauline credo, a digestible religion to the yet to be converted greeks who had no desire to follow the mosaic laws.
There never was such another epidemic of ecclesiastical forgery. The church was flooded with books attributed falsely to apostolic times and authors. The names of many of these books, and the texts of some, are preserved. Distinguished saints and learned fathers of the faith openly commended the invention and acceptance of false- hoods designed to aid the conversion of the world to what they believed to be truth.
None of the disciples spoke of trinity, ate pork or proclaimed it is allowable to do so, yet the miracle begotten paul, whom peter called him enemy, introduced his new creed according to his whims It proclaimed the abrogation of the Mosaic ceremonial law. It announced itself as a new and independent religion; calling its adherents Christians, and their doctrine Christianity.
Rationality was only born with Islam, those who cannot count have nothing to say, at the end of the day 1+1+1 will never equal 1
God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.
The Aramaic word for God is "Alaha" too sounds familiar?
Written without the confusing vowels it is written A-L-H ܐ ܠܗܐ (alap-lamed-he) as found in Targum or in Tanakh (Daniel, Ezra), Syriac Aramaic (Peshitta), reduced from the Arabic original (of which Aramaic is a dialect continuum as will be explained) it is written in the Arabic script 'A-L-L-H' (Aleph-Lam-Lam-Ha) add an A before the last H for vocalization.
The word God in another rendition in Hebrew ʾĕlōah is derived from a base ʾilāh, an Arabic word, written without confusing vowel it is A-L-H in the Arabic script, pronounced ilah not eloah. Hebrew dropped the glottal stop and mumbled it, aramic mumbled a little less and it became elaha. Infact both are written written A-L-H in Arabic, it is pronounced i in Arabic and not A because it is an Alef with hamza below (إ أ ) They are two different forms of Alef. And it mean "a god", it is the non definitive form of A-L-L-H, in which the Alef is without a glottal stop/hamza,(ا), but this kind of nuance is lost in the dialect continua.
infact "YHWH" itself is an Arabic word as discussed by Professor. Israel Knohl (Professor of Biblical studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem) in the paper" YHWH: The Original Arabic Meaning of the Name."
jesus as his name is often misspelled due to the lack of the ayin sound in Greek, which was rendered to Iesous, coupling the nearest sound to ayin, same letter found in 'Iraq', which sounds entirely different in Arabic form 'Iran' in Arabic, with the -ous Greek suffix that Greeks typically add to their names 'HerodotOS', 'PlotinUS', 'AchelOUS' and later mumbled into a J. The yeshua rendition of Isa (his name in the Qur'an) PBUH which is purported to be the name of Jesus is KNOWN to had been taken from greek. Western Syriac also use "Isho". Western Aramaic (separate from Syriac which is a dialect of Eastern Aramaic) use "Yeshu". Western Syriac has been separate from Western Aramaic for about 1000 years. And sounds don't even match up. Syriac is a Christian liturgical language yet the four letters of the name of Jesus «ܝܫܘܥ» [ = Judeo-Babylonian Aramaic: «ישוע» ] sounds totally different in West vs East Syriac, viz. vocalized akin to Christian Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic «ܝܶܫܽܘܥ» (Yēšūʿ) in West Syriac, but pronounced more akin to Muslim Arabic Quran character name Isa in East Syriac «ܝܑܼܫܘܿܥ» (ʾĪšōʿ). The reason for this confusion is their dropping of phonemes. Only someone that has no idea what the letters are or how they sound would have a name ending in a pharyngeal fricative like the ayin, if it were to be used in a name it would have had to be in the beginning, thus the Arabic rendition is the correct one. An example in English is how the appended -d is a common error amongst the English pronouncing Gaelic names. The name Donald arose from a common English mispronunciation of the Gaelic name Donal. Just how it is with donal becoming donald and the two becoming distinct and the original being regarded as something seperate so too did Isa PBUH turn to Iesous turn to jesus and when they tried going back to the original they confused it for yeshua ( ysu is how it is actually written) for Isa PBUH ( 3'eysah )
Schlözer in his preparation for the Arabia expedition in 1781 coined the term Semitic language:
"From the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, from Mesopotamia to Arabia ruled one language, as is well known. Thus Syrians, Babylonians, Hebrews, and Arabs were one people (ein Volk). Phoenicians (Hamites) also spoke this language, which I would like to call the Semitic (die Semitische)." -Before Boas: The Genesis of Ethnography and Ethnology in the German By Han F. Vermeulen.
He was only half right though, Arabic is the only corollary to "proto-semitic", infact the whole semitic classification is nonsensical as will be shown.
"protosemetic" Alphabet (28), Arabic Alphabet (28), Latin transliteration, hebrew (22)

Merged phonemes in hebrew and aramaic:
ح, خ (h, kh) merged into only kh consonant remain
س, ش (s, sh) merged into only Shin consonant remaining
ط, ظ (ṭ/teth, ẓ) merged into only ṭ/teth consonant remaining
ص, ض (ṣ, ḍ/Tsad ) merged into only ḍ/Tsad consonant remaining
ع, غ (3'ayn, Ghayn) merged into a reducted ayin consonant remaining
ت, ث (t/taw, th) merged into only t/taw consonant remaining
The reason why the protoS alphabet here is 28 and not 29, is because the supposed extra letter is simply a س written in a different position, but it was shoehorned to obfuscated. In Arabic letter shapes are different depending on whether they are in the beginning , middle or end of a word.
As a matter of fact, all of the knowledge needed for deciphering ancient texts and their complexity was derived from the Qur'an. It was by analyzing the syntactic structure of the Qur'an that the Arabic root system was developed. This system was first attested to in Kitab Al-Ayin, the first intralanguage dictionary of its kind, which preceded the Oxford English dictionary by 800 years. It was through this development that the concept of Arabic roots was established and later co-opted into the term 'semitic root,' allowing the decipherment of ancient scripts. In essence, they quite literally copied and pasted the entirety of the Arabic root. Hebrew had been dead, as well as all the other dialects of Arabic, until being 'revived' in a Frankensteinian fashion in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The entire region spoke basically the same language, with mumbled dialect continuums spread about, and Arabic is the oldest form from which all these dialects branched off. As time passed, the language gradually became more degenerate,
Language; When one looks at the actual linguistics, one will find that many were puzzled by the opposite, that is, how the other "semetic" languages were more "evolved" than Arabic, while Arabic had archaic features, not only archaic compared to bibilical Hebrew, Ethiopic, "Aramaic" contemporary "semetic" languages, but even archaic compared to languages from ancient antiquity; Ugaritic, Akkadain. What is meant here by Archaic is not what most readers think, it is Archaic not in the sense that it is simple, but rather that it is complex (think Latin to pig Latin or Italian or Old English, which had genders and case endings to modern English), not only grammatically, but also phonetically; All the so called semitic languages are supposed to have evolved from protosemetic, the Alphabet for protosemitic is that of the so called Ancient South Arabian (which interestingly corresponds with the traditional Arabic origins account) and has 28 Phonemes. Arabic has 28 phonemes. Hebrew has 22, same as Aramaic, and other "semitic" languages. Now pause for a second and think about it, how come Arabic, a language that is supposed to have come so late has the same number of letters as a language that supposedly predates it by over a millennium (Musnad script ~1300 BCE). Not only is the glossary of phonemes more diverse than any other semitic language, but the grammar is more complex, containing more cases and retains what's linguists noted for its antiquity, broken plurals. Indeed, a linguist has once noted that if one were to take everything we know about languages and how they develop, Arabic is older than Akkadian (~2500 BCE).
And then the Qur'an appeared with the oldest possible form of the language thousands of years later. This is why the Arabs of that time were challenged to produce 10 similar verses, and they couldn't. People think it's a miracle because they couldn't do it, but I think the miracle is the language itself. They had never spoken Arabic, nor has any other language before or since had this mathematical precision. And when I say mathematical, I quite literally mean mathematical.
Now how is it that the Qur'an came thousands of years later in an alphabet that had never been recorded before, and in the highest form the language had ever taken?
The creator is neither bound by time nor space, therefore the names are uttered as they truly were, in a language that is lexically, syntactically, phonemically, and semantically older than the oldest recorded writing. In fact, that writing appears to have been a simplified version of it. Not only that, but it would be the equivalent of the greatest works of any particular language all appearing in one book, in a perfect script and in the highest form the language could ever take. It is so high in fact, that it had yet to be surpassed despite the fact that over the last millennium the collection of Arabic manuscripts when compared on word-per-word basis in Western Museums alone, when they are compared with the collected Greek and Latin manuscripts combined, the latter does not constitute 1 percent of the former as per German professor Frank Griffel, in addition all in a script that had never been recorded before. Thus, the enlightenment of mankind from barbarism and savagery began, and the age of reason and rationality was born from its study.

@@ranro7371 Christianity was not born under Constantine or it would be called Constantinism, not Christianity. It was born from Christ, his teachings and the continued preaching under his Apostles.
There are ugly chapters to all religions because of man, not always because of the precepts of the faith are wrong.
Do you want to discuss all the evil done under Islam? I’m guessing not.
You mentioned the “evil Christians practicing slavery” 2000 years ago. Do you believe slavery is evil?
Do you know the one religion under which slavery is still practiced? Islam.
None of this has anything to do with the subject of what we were discussing.
This video title is misleading. It says Ben Affleck debates.
Perfection
He's not even taking part in the same conversation as the rest of them.
this comment is so funny. it needs more likes
Facts
Lol
The audience is just basicly clapping for everyone there
I've been to live recordings of shows like this, it's not unusual for someone behind the camera to just hold up an applause sign at all the hits. You may not catch every person clapping, but mob mentality hits a lot of people and gets em going. It's not a reflection of people agreeing with Ben as much as just manufactured TV magic
Like they're just glad to be there. No idea what's going on.
They are being liberal 🤣
Well, I mean, come on its the Bill Maher show
Jajaha
This is the result of having a culture that believes celebrities intrinsically hold some higher wisdom which they should be given a platform to impart on the rest of us. We are literally watching a debate on the moral virtue of 1.5 billion people between a neuroscientist and Batman...only in America
And they believe their own press
HAHAHAH. well said.
Did you even understand what Ben was saying.
You think it is OK to stereotype 1.5 billion people based on their religion.
When the fact is that Muslims have hundreds of different interpretations of their religion.
Where was Ben wrong?????
@@ronmullick253 That's exactly the point. Sam Harris isn't against people, he's against bad ideas. Read a few chapters of the quran (in context) and you will find it's full of awful ideas. Most muslim countries have little respect for freedom: blasphemy is punishable by law and the scripture supports this. The quran and hadith are medieval books with any number of justifications for bad behavior, from wife beating to child marriage: unfortunately, large masses of the islamic word accept this.
@@ronmullick253 You didnt get Harris's point either!
Imagine for a moment someone saying that killing your way into Valhalla, a common belief of medieval Norsemen, was a bad idea and someone who wasn't a medieval Norseman getting red-in-the-face upset about it and accusing you of being a racist.
The audience are just a bunch of people who enjoy clapping
underrated comment
On an episode in which he was a guest, Hitchens referred to the audience of Real Time as "The clap anything brigade"
The audience is the worst part of the show.
Made a comment similar to this but not as clever lol
Nope
6 years later and this doesn't get any easier to watch...
Right? I come back to this video every now and then and it is never any less painful
So true and every time I see Ben afflict in something this is the first thing I think about it’s burned into my brain
How did Ben Actually convince himself that Sam Harris of all people was trying to be racist? It just blows my mind.
Islam is the elephant in the room we all try our best to avoid but must eventually acknowledge.
Bin al-Flecki have you also noticed how many people are scared that this is a racist attack on the people? Its crazy. This is simply a battle for the ideas that are holding them.
I suppose it only makes sense given that when Criticising Islam, Middle Easterners consider it an attack on them as Brown people, in the same way that when Christianity was being criticised for the first time, Westerners considered it an attack on White people.

Ben might bot be the best debater. But This Not fair! Everybody is mocking Ben Affleck! How about Sam?! He said he is well educated in Islam. I highly doubt that. Go watch Oxford debate about Islam, you will get answers for Sam! And stop basing your facts to polls all the time. If polls were so true, Trump would never be a president.
@@farruholimov7216 Maybe if you were well educated in that subject you would agree with Sam, I was born in a Muslim family and a Muslim country and I approve of everything he's saying; That if you announce you're leaving Islam you're a dead man and that's the original idea, not just some radical interpretation. Ben Affleck is being stupid for not listening and interrupting him constantly! My advice to you is replay the video and try to understand what Sam Harris is saying if you could hear him over Ben shouting angrily and non-stop.

Hate to explain punchlines, but
It’s a play on words, since Sam Harris is known to look very similar to Ben Stiller, in an argument with Ben Affleck. I was referring to Ben stiller
He needs writers.
Can tell that Ben is not used to this sort of thing, he is clearly getting angry very easily...he thinks that it is an argument...
It just goes to show that leftist retards like Affleck are alergic to facts and reality they can't emotionally deal with. Leftism has nothing to do with reality and facts and everything to do with their pseudo-religion of pretend time.
First this and now batman.. so sad :(
I remember listening to an old Opie and Anthony clip where they more or less said Ben is used to being at Hollywood parties where almost everyone agrees with him and/or wants to suck up to him so no one ever challenges his views. He's not used to debating with someone who A) is more informed than him on this issue and B) is not afraid of telling him off so he gets pissed because that never happens to him in his day to day life.
It sort of reminds me of an Adam Corolla story where Adam had a huge, screaming match with a guy because Adam, to make a long story short, told this dude "fuck you" and the dude blew up with rage because, while some people get told "fuck you" every day, this guy turned out to be a high-powered Hollywood agent who was used to people kissing his ass and freaked out when after getting cussed at.
He's pissed off at ignorance. Id be mad too if I had to waste my time explaining why you're a bigot.
No, Affleck is pissed off because he is ignorant and while there is an argument against what Harris is saying (as the much smarter guy on Ben's side makes quite well), Affleck being an actor with very limited knowledge just doesn't the intellectual chops to make it.
Again he's just a big Hollywood actor who is used to everyone just nodding their heads in agreement when he talks and isn't used to people actually arguing back.
When someone doesn't write your words for you ahead of time...
Ben’s brain: “You’re not gonna let all that cocaine go to waste are you?? Say literally anything. Loud”.
He's right. If you want to actual measure the impact of a religion's bad ideas in any meaningful way: christian countries aggress muslim countries more often. Christians kill muslims more often. Christians kill muslims in higher numbers.

Why are you mentioning Dawkins, he said Christopher Hitchens? I like Dawkins, but IMO he's a terrible debater. Harris does a better job.
+Ben Alexander I think Harris would have 'owned' Mr Affleck if he were ever allowed to get a word in edge ways. Ben Affleck has a tendency to shout down his opponents because his arguments are paper-thin, and would be easily torn to shreds by Harris if given the chance. Incidentally, Bill Maher should perhaps put a sock in it for a few minutes too.
Hitchens was an incredible force and a brilliant mind, but I think he would have had similar problems in this situation. The only way to counter loud-mouths that don't let their opponents put their views across is to shout even louder.

Q: In the last one hundred years, how many Muslim nations have sent thousands of armed soldiers into western nations to overthrow their governments, torture their citizens, kill hundreds of thousands of their people, bomb their cities, conquer their societies and take the profits of their natural resources for themselves and the dictators they install in power?
A: Zero times.
Q: In the last one hundred years, how many western nations have sent thousands of armed soldiers into muslim nations to overthrow their governments, torture their citizens, kill hundreds of thousands of their people, bomb their cities, conquer their societies and take the profits of their natural resources for themselves and the dictators they install in power?
A: Dozens of times. Name a muslim nation. I'll tell you when they were attacked. Give me a decade in the 20th century, I'll give you a list of Muslim nations that were attacked by the west during that period.
Whatever anyone's views on Israel are, the very creation of Israel as a modern state was the end result of an act of white Europeans being horribly aggressive against semitic people in Europe. The backlash against that racism resulted in many European jews going south and taking out an act of aggression and terror against a native population of muslim people living in a land which had been called Palestine for decades. The muslim population were suddenly deemed unworthy of living on their land they and their ancestors had been living on since time immemorial because they weren’t jewish.
Israel's race baiting, extremely violent settler movement has brought in hundreds of thousands of religious Europeans and extremist Americans who believe they have a "right" to take away a muslim family’s land and home....because they had an ancestor that was jewish and the land therefore belongs to them.
Yes…the racist, violent, Israeli government has decided, with the backing of the violent empire, my own country, United States, that they have a “god given” right to take away any muslim family's home....whenever they chose to.
What year is this??
It sounds more like the ancient crusades.
Of course, If you dare to be honest about all of this, if you dare to point out a view that looks at the facts in a balanced and even way and doesn’t adhere to what this brainwashed society tells you you must believe,…you are called "antisemitic.”
Why?
Because that is the only thing they have left as a defense. After all of the excuses for their aggression and violent horrors have been examined and exposed….the last defense many have is to claim “You hate me because I’m Jewish”….or because I’m a Christian. Christian zionism is has a great deal to do with what fuels Israel’s ability to be vicious and cruel.
Just imagine if the situation was the other way around, and western nations such as the US and UK had been experiencing what muslim nations have been receiving from the western nations for the last 100 years.
Not only would there be more extremist views against Muslims in general, but western women would have less rights, less power and minorities would receive even more discrimination and oppression.
If western nation’s governments had been overthrown by Muslim led nations, outspoken religious leaders would be controlling our governments today and those who rely on iron age theology would be dictating the nature of our political and social life.
The western world, including Israel, is filled to the brim with blind, privileged, self-righteous idiots who have no idea how the world really works or why much of the developing world is such a mess.

He has not really delved deeply into Muslim history or even travelled to many Muslim countries. I have listened to pretty much all his debates on Islam. The problem with having an ignorant view of history is that you fail to realize how things came to transpire and why things are the way they are specifically in the Muslim world.

Islam is a religion that should be criticized. Muslims as people (not terrorists) are a faction of people and should be treated like everyone else and not generalized. It’s the religion not the people. Treated Muslims badly or unfairly is bigotry, criticizing Islam on real problems with the religion is fine.
@@mike47734 definitely you said it much better personally I don't care for any religion they all effect people who are not apart of them the idea that any religion causes non believers or believers in other religions any kind of problems is crazy and I definitely do not think Islam is any different than any other religion all of them are soaked in blood and suffering Islam definitely still practice as a generality more of there stone age beliefs but Christianity definitely had the same kind of beliefs and people just don't put up with it anymore hopefully we get to the same place with Islam
People calling people racist for criticizing Islamists are the real racists because they're the ones equating religious fanatics with a ethnicity.
They are both....
Well, though I’m not a Muslim, I would say that’s not entirely true. AFAIK, many arab peoples are practicing muslims (Muslim: a person following the belief in Islam). If you were in certain parts of the Middle East, people may even use “Muslim” to describe the culture. But yes, “Muslim” does mean a believer in Islam
This is my favorite part in Batman.
AvikFett its the only good part.
HAAAAA! Thank you for the gut laugh! I needed that to break the monotony of this quarantine.
What do you call a Batman that skips church every Sunday? Christian Bale.
lmao
Funniest comment I’ve read for some time. Thanks
Okay,
How is ben qualified for debate on this topic.
Nihal Kumar maybe he thinks winning an Oscar for directing “Argo” magically turned him into an international relations expert and theology scholar? 🙄
Hes not. You're actually not suppose to talk when you're on the left side of the table when the guest is speaking on the right,.
@Halimah Moad You didn't hear anything Sam or Bill said...
Because he's a social justice warrior.
Ben just doesnt believe in outdated facts like the rest of the people in this debate
he doesnt believe that 80 percent of muslims promote radicalism or sharia law and kill people just because they are against your religion
you cannot use old facts or twist latest facts to suit your opinions
and btw its impossible that 80 percent are like that cause there are no facts that support it
do you undertand the gravity of the situation here ?
its the exact opposite of what you are saying egghead
poor batman is not a born political debater here who will twist facts in order to speak rubbish constantly
he knows 1+1 is 2 so he is not gonna pretend its 3
Ben is more interested in sounding and looking righteous
Just put the fries in my bag bro 🍟
He's right. Christendom is the empirial religion, born under the auspices of constantine, the subjects were converted at the edge of the sword and rendered into slaves for his majesty, often referring to him as their lord. In Islam such slavery is unthinkable. The only lordship is that of the creator, no station into which man was brought into the lands of Islam was to any degree as bad as the repugnant chattel slavery brought by the primitive tribalism inherent in their texts. Constantine chose regularly to refer to himself as the “servant of God” (famulus dei/therapon tou theou) in official writings. By the fifth century, this metaphor of subordination had been redeployed from theological to political contexts as the subjects of the emperor came to refer to themselves as “slaves of the emperor.” And by the sixth, Justinian insisted all his officials swear an oath that they would demonstrate their service to the emperor “with genuine slavehood” (gnesia douleia).b Building on Paul’s revalorization of the vocabulary of slavery, and particularly the word doulos came to be applied to a variety of hierarchical relationships, even as it also continued to be used specifically of chattel slaves. By the middle Byzantine period, this expansion of the semantic range of the root doul- eventually gave the abstract nominal form douleia, meaning laborer
Insofar as everyone who partook in labor was considered to be a participant This epistemological world view is coherent with master-slave dynamic relationship between the head of the state and his subjects, or rather slaves.
The word עוֹלֵל, ʿôlēl which means 'Babe, infant, little one, a suckling' occurs 21 King James Bible Verses Of these verses:
“Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” -Psalm 137:9
“Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.”-1 Samuel 15:3
“Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.”-Hosea 13:16
The other verses are not much different. Infact it is always in association with violence. Indeed these verses are the reason why in the Crusades the sense of pious rejoicing at massacre does not appear to be the product of later theologizing; it is also found, in the account of the eye-witness Raymond of Aguilers:
“in the Temple and porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins. Indeed, it was a just and splendid judgment of God that this place should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers, since it had suffered so long from their blasphemies.” In fact, Raymond continues, “This day, I say, will be famous in all future ages, for it turned our labours and sorrows into joy and exultation; this day, I say, marks the justification of all Christianity, the humiliation of paganism, and the renewal of our faith.”
Another account by a chronicler and eyewitness-priest, Albert of Aachen, describes the killing of fleeing women, and depicts crusaders as::
“seizing [infants who were still suckling] by the soles of their feet from their mothers’ laps or their cradles…and dashing them against the walls or lintels of the doors and breaking their necks […] they were sparing absolutely no gentile of any age or kind.”The incoherence inherent in a stranger to Abraham calling the children of Abraham gentiles notwithstanding, this account evokes the very same Psalm 137:9 imprecation against Babylon, in Latin, “beatus qui tenebit et adlidet parvulos tuos ad petram.”
Albert describes a massacre occurring, in cold blood, on the second day following the conquest, painting a scene that is as horrific as it is realistic and detailed:
"Girls, women, matrons, tormented by fear of imminent death and horror-struck by the violent murder wrapped themselves around the Christians’ bodies in the hope to save their lives, even as the Christians were raving and venting their rage in murder of both sexes. Some threw themselves at their feet, begging them with pitiable weeping and wailing for their lives and safety. When children five or three years old saw the cruel fate of their mothers and fathers, of one accord they stepped up the weeping and pitiable clamour. But they were making these signals for pity and mercy in vain. For the Christians gave over their whole hearts to murder, so that not a suckling little male-child or female, not even an infant of one year would escape the hand of the murderer".
Evoking several of these verses in practice:
- (Num 31:17-18) Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
- (Deut 7:2, 9:3, Num 21) thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them...
- (Ezek 9:6) Slay utterly old [and] young both maids and little children and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] mark begin at my sanctuary.
This is the polar opposite in the Quran in Surah Al-Tanwir, literally "The Englightenining" Surah, Aya 8-9, we have the death of a newborn is mentioned amongst the penultimate signs of the end of times, emphasizing the gravity of such an action. That child, now resurrected, is asked for what wrong doing was she murdered. This is to emphasize that she had done nothing wrong, for she had done nothing wrong and this is the day of retribution where those who omitted the evil are to be punished.
This is the polar opposite in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190, which exhorts to fight unbelievers and not be "Aggressors", in the commentary of what it means to be aggressors, this was stated Al-Hasan Al-Basri stated that transgression (indicated by the Ayah):
"includes mutilating the dead, theft (from the captured goods), killing women, children and old people who do not participate in warfare, killing priests and residents of houses of worship, burning down trees and killing animals without real benefit."
This is also the opinion of Ibn `Abbas, `Umar bin `Abdul-`Aziz, Muqatil bin Hayyan and others. Muslim recorded in his Sahih that Buraydah narrated that Allah's Messenger said: "Fight for the sake of Allah and fight those who disbelieve in Allah. Fight, but do not steal, commit treachery, mutilate, or kill a child, or those who reside in houses of worship."
It is reported in the Two Sahihs that Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet forbade killing women and children."
بابتداء القتال أو بقتال من نهيتم عن قتاله من النساء والشيوخ والصبيان والذين بينكم وبينهم عهد أو بالمثلة أو بالمفاجأة من غير دعوة
"To kill those whom you were forbidden to from women, elderly, children and those whom betwixt you is a treaty or custom or by surprise or without cause"
-Tafsir Al-Zamakshari of the meaning of Aggressors in the Aya
More hadith from Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah:
حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ شَيْخٍ، مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَوْلَى لِبَنِي عَبْدِ الْأَشْهَلِ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ جُيُوشَهُ قَالَ: «§لَا تَقْتُلُوا أَصْحَابَ الصَّوَامِعِ»
"Do not kill the dwellers of monasteries"
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ جُوَيْبِرٍ، عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ: كَانَ «§يُنْهَى عَنْ قَتْلِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَالشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ»
سَعْدٍ قَالَ: «§نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَالذُّرِّيَّةِ، وَالشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا حَرَاكَ بِهِ»
"The prophet forbids the killing of women, children, and the elderly"
This is the polar opposite in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Anfal Ayah 61 in which even oath breaking deniers/unbelievers are allowed to sue for peace states if the unbelievers they ask for peace, give it to them.
Stephen Langton, the writer of the Magna Carta (12th century, contemporary with the crusades for a reason) studied in the university of Paris which archives show had plenty of Arabic treatises in its procession, there can be no question about it being inspired by the "Sharia". both the renessiance and the european enlightenment were directly preceded by massive translation movements form Arabic (see the Republic of Letters by Alexander Bevilacqua, The House of Wisdom: How the Arabs Transformed Western Civilization By: Jonathan Lyons.
The modifiable testament testament commands indiscriminate killing, genocide, plunder, mutilation, enslavement, or torture of enemies, including women, on the other hand.Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190 limits war to those who fight against Muslims, prohibits transgression, and implies respect for human dignity and life Indeed it is what precedes the famous "sword verse", always cited out of context.
God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.

Toronto Rapper JSTONE ding ding ding!!!! Yes!!! Affleck simply refused to listen. you can see his smug-ass-face when people were trying to give him facts.
louder voice, quick movements, weak puns, and acting annoyed and smug are just a few of the attributes of a debater that doesnt know what the f he's talking about. Well done Gigli
Someone who focuses on the physical actions of the debater rather than the arguments they put forth is the attribute of someone that doesn't know how to judge a debate.
Someone who focuses on what someone else focuses on to determine their debating is someone who doesnt know what the f they are talking about
Barkeroni bad comeback man.

I am confused, are you actually defending the Batman here?
Ben made a complete idiot of himself. He tried to take on a real intellectual and looked like a teenager throwing a tantrum.
Are you okay? He is defending a religion. He is much smarter than you so dont talk crap. Keep staying in your mom's basement.

@@panzeresq5775 who mentioned any race, you dumb piece shit !
Hahaha! Good God Ben, go home.
Afflec was performing. He had themes, big words, and even full sentences...pre assembled...ready to go...regardless of what else was said.
LMFAO, that reminds me of me to be fair. I learning to debate not professionally or anything like that but to improve my ability to form logic arguments in real time and learn see when someone is trying to trap me in argument. Each week my friends get together and we debate for an or two on a predefined topic. Sometimes I come in big words even full sentences ready to go regardless of what anyone say. Bare in mind I still learning to formulate arguments, it is not that easy.
How to spot an idiot during an argument ,they won't let you complete your sentence😂.
And he keeps on saying that he was waiting for Sam to explain
Everything Ben Affleck said was right. Imagine if I said “the Talmud is the motherlode of bad ideas: it says every jew can have 2800 gentile slaves” and then pointed to the opioid epidemic perpetrated by a Jewish pharma family as part of the Talmudic values hurting our society…
🙏🙏
Bill Maher and Sam Harris both react in similar fashion when they are confronted by people who know they’re talking about. Ben Affleck is a lightweight. But when Bill Maher discussed the issue with Piers Morgan, he went irate. When it was Glenn Greenwald, Maher started the smug comments. Sam Harris in his argument with Noam Chomsky tried some painfully stupid thought experiment.
In this particular theory, Harris and Maher’s position is very simple “It’s okay when we do it.”
Sam Harris and Bill Maher are just two logical guys who just happen to be Jewish using facts and reason to conclude that Israel is our greatest ally and Islam is the motherlode of bad ideas.
Ben's venerable performance certainly proved one thing: don't do coke before coming on national television.
Man, Ben couldn’t even let him finish his first thought. I bet he’s great at parties
I don’t bet I KNOW he’s great at parties cuz most likely these are the kinda people that are great at parties

The problem is with posing backwardness as a uniquely Muslim disposition. That's what's wrong.
Y'all should listen to Sam's podcast, he is way more interesting when he gets to complete his sentences without people shouting over him.
Yes. Sam has a degree of insight into so many issues that I wish I had. He has a gift for taking his thoughts and ideas and conveying them in a very concise manner.
Islamophobic idiot
@@AntonioLima-mv5cg “islamaphobic" is not a real word. It implies racism, but Islam is not a race, its an ideology, that is beyond repair. Have you ever heard a Christian say to an athiest he is "christaniphobic"? No, you havn't. Because that would be obtuse. Just like you......
@@ezlivin44 islamaphobia is entirely a real thing, though that isn't what is being displayed here. Sam is simply saying that this is a dangerous ideology that everyone is too afraid to address. It's full of bad ideas and it's widespread across the globe, so it's something that we should be addressing.
@@ezlivin44 Agreed. Islam… Christianity is not a political system. Jesus eschewed political organizations. Islam is not a religion. It is inherently a political, theocratic philosophy and terroristic legal system for enslaving humans to their detriment. Our Bill of Rights, the first of which; guarantees our freedom, from any religion and absolutely regards it as necessary to be separated from the state. “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; …” Our Bill of Rights prohibits the establishment of Islam in America not because it “claims to be” a religion but because we are already governed by a political system established by our constitution. Sharia is not necessary or suggested for American citizens; we already have a successful political system based upon the idea of a democratic republic. Islam cannot and will not be accepted by any freedom loving individual, because it is a system of thoughts, beliefs and actions which intends to overshadow or preempt the American constitution and the political system recognized by it.
Any attempts to place “Sharia” law above the rights of the citizens of these United States or our government is illegitimate and an act of sedition.. Those who will not assimilate but instead create enclaves separate from the society and culture extant in our nation are signaling their desire not to be present here but to remain separate. They are subversives and their thinking, beliefs and actions are seditious (actions or words intended to provoke or incite rebellion against government authority, or actual personal rebellion against government authority). They should be at the first opportunity, politely (or impolitely for our own protection) assisted in their return to their country of origin.
TAQIYYA all Muslims must obey, means to advance and Protect Islam by any means including lying to infidels.

Ben Affleck is making what’s called a straw man argument - he’s arguing against a point that neither of them were making.
Sam Harris lays out how criticism doesn't necessarily mean it is Islamophobic, Affleck pulls the strawman argument at 1:36 "So you're saying Islamophobia isn't a real thing?" Affleck just comes across so closed minded and dense.

+Collectorp123 It is, however, entirely possible and more likely that only a portion of the audience clapped for their Maher/Smith, and then a wholly different portion clapped for Affleck with little overlap between the two.

They speak completely different languages. Sam Harris is a true intellectual. He stays composed, doesn’t let others feelings or sensibilities keep him from talking about anything or saying his truth, always keeps cool, stays on topic, and chooses to try to understand instead of getting offended. Ben Affleck is an intellectual wannabe who isn’t as educated as he likes to pretend, operates within the rules of outrage mob culture, and is used to “debating” people who put up straw man arguments and act just like him (a big infant).
I really wanted to bitch slap him for that
@@someordinarydude9147 Just because he is a neuroscientist does not make him an expert on Islam. Sam Harris has academic experience which is not the same as living experience or any traction with in the actual Muslim community. He has not really delved deeply into Muslim history or even travelled to many Muslim countries. I have listened to pretty much all his debates on Islam. The problem with having an ignorant view of history is that you fail to realize how things came to transpire and why things are the way they are specifically in the Muslim world. You should listen to his debate with Fareed Zakaria (available online and on his podcast) where he clearly lost and it shows his ignorance on issues such as history, politics, and socioeconomics.
