  1. As a Christian, I disliked Islam at first because I thought it was barbaric and violent, especially after reading about the violence against Christians in places like the Middle East. After reading both the Bible and parts of the Quran however, I realized how much our values align (such as objection to LGBTism, set gender roles, loyalty to your nation) and how Muslims are often the main defenders of social conservatism from anti theistic, liberal attacks. I disagree with Islamic theology on many levels, but I find them to be by far the closest religion to us.

  2. In Europe it is more racial. “Muslim” is just another word for “nonwhite”.
    18
  3. Also important to mention that Christian women also wear head coverings pretty often, and there is actually a growing headscarf movement in Evangelicalism

  4. As a Westerner, go for it. Our governments need to finally stop looking to immigration as a solution and start forcing our native populations to sustain ourselves.

  5. As a Illinois resident, this isn’t surprising. We not only have the highest percentage of Muslims of any state but we also have a crap ton of far right groups. Naperville itself used to be a sundown town.

  6. I thought the attack was political due to Australia’s support of Timorese independence than religious

  7.  lee  Generalization to put all Ex Muslims in the same bag, especially since most former Muslims I’ve seen dislike Christianity and Judaism.

  8. This video is filled with inaccuracies. The Library of Alexandria was already destroyed after Julius Caesar’s conquest of the city in 48 BC. What was destroyed was the Serapeum, a Pagan Temple which housed few books and was mostly just a meeting place for scholars The Dark Ages meanwhile were caused by the fall of the Roman Empire, not the Catholic Church, and the Byzantines were still a major force in scientific and other scholarly advancement for a thousand years after this. If anything, the Catholic Church saved literacy and knowledge. The Renaissance was likewise started by Greek refugees fleeing the brutal Turkish conquests of their homeland as well as competition between Italian city states, not the Crusades. Finally, Roy Casagrande is not a good source, as he is a political science teacher, not an accredited historian.

  9. At this point it will take an act of God to stop Israel from completely leveling the Gaza Strip

  10. Maybe that has something to do with how they all almost got killed for their beliefs
    6
  11.  @cyruskhan3462  Because oftentimes Islam doesn’t let them leave. Former Muslims in many situations face the threat of death.
    5
  12.  @TheCJWerlemanShow  I’d argue Islamists are comparable
    5
  13. Because in many cases they can’t. Apostates don’t have a great time in Islam, often being criminalized or targeted for violence.

  14.  @flyinglegion5697  Friendly Ex Muslim: Openly speaks out against terrorist attacks against Muslims and politicians spreading anti Muslim hatred You: “HE IS ATTACKING US”

  15. “We are not experts, but we have looked at the Wikipedia page for Qatar”

  16. There are plenty of Exvangelicals, Ex Mormons, Ex Hindus. Why can’t there be Ex Muslims?

  17. This isn’t specifically about Muslims but you should make a video about how Israel makes the Middle East unsafe for Christians.

  18. I agree with the main idea that some ex Muslims advance Neo Colonialism and American exceptionalism, and that is a major problem, but you don’t mention at all why they are drawn to it. Ex Muslims don’t just face “some troubles”, around half of Muslim majority countries have laws that criminalize people for leaving or speaking out against Islam, 8 of which OUTRIGHT KILL YOU. This isn’t even mentioning the cases of societal instances where Ex Muslims are shunned, violently attacked, or have to hide their true beliefs. You are pretty much victim blaming at this point.

  19. Conversion in Islam was always a strange thing to me. On one hand, you see so many believers giving new Muslims tons of support and love when they enter. On the other, those who leave Islam face just incredible amounts of vitriol and hatred from these same people, if not acts of violence.

  20. Arab Sicily lasted for 260 years, not 80

  21. Ah, the classic “they were never religious” claim

  22. You can do that outside of Europe, but no part of our continent should be ruled by an Islamic state at all.

  23. Andrew Tate has always been a grifter. Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism, hell even the Flying Spaghetti Monster, he’ll use any religion or ideology if it means making money by scamming a bunch of teenagers. This whole thing feels like a stunt, and honestly I’m most worried for Muslim women who will have their religious spaces become home to the misogynistic and borderline incel talking points Tate spews towards young men. I’m a Christian, but if Tate’s new religion helps make him less of a POS then good on him. Until then however, I will treat it as the many other times he claimed to become a Muslim.

  24. 2:00 Erdogan says what he needs to say in order to keep power.

  25. So what if it is anti semitic? If I got expelled from 109 schools I wouldn’t blame the principal.

  26. Probably not, Daniel Haqiqatjou is much further right

  27.  @HATTRICK202  I won’t agree with him, but I won’t be celebrating him being stabbed. He has a freedom of speech like everyone else
    3
  28. You do, there are many ex Christians

  29.  @flyinglegion5697  How? He’s only ever criticized Islam and fundamentalists, that’s not the same as spreading hatred towards Muslims. On the contrary, he is vocal against figures like Tommy Robinson and President Trump. This is like a “Anti Zionism is Anti Semitism” level argument. If you want real hatred that actually kills people, look at how apostates are treated in Muslim communities and how Islamic apologists and imams openly support such acts.

  30.  @LogicStandsBeforeGod  Not really, Bush made some comments about Crusades but Iraq was mostly in support of neoliberalism. That’s my point, making a death toll for religions is hard because most justifications for war or genocide are a complex mix of political, religious, cultural, and economic conditions

  31. Countries he mentioned still have most of their Muslim growth through immigration.

  32. Martin Luther was right about Jews

  33. Then Sweden shouldn’t allow in immigrants, problem solved.

  34. At least people can talk about the insanity of the LGTVQ community without being banned for “hate speech”. For that alone I love Elon.

  35. I never understood that. No Ex Muslim is ever going to make as much as someone like Zakir Naik or Ali Dawah do through donations, TV deals, etc.

  36. Because he was a member of Al-Qaeda

  37. Trump and Biden are both cut from the same cloth, but this idea that leftists are somehow less dangerous is a joke. Anti-organized religion violence is a staple of the modern Western Left, which has become amplified by Sutherland Springs, Nashville, and the various church arsons after the Roe vs Wade overturning and Canada residential schools showed. The deadliest Islamophobic attack in the U.S. wasn’t done by a far right extremist, it was done by a militant atheist Democrat. Conservative speakers are being silenced and attacked on college campuses, and politically leaders are being targeted with graffiti and other vandalism. Recently, liberals have become even more pushy against Muslims for not respecting antithetical values. Tell me, how long do you think it will be until these people start burning down mosques or attack Muslim children protesting pride? Make no mistake, they want you dead.

  38. The Democratic Party isn’t pro Palestine, they are still Zionist. Look at Biden’s comments on Israel.

  39. The Maldives is 100% Muslim because they revoke your citizenship if you apostate.

  40. Keep Europe White

  41. Charlie Hebdo has mocked dead theists of all faiths. I remember back in 2017 when they made fun of the conservative Christian Texan victims of Hurricane Harvey. Also Erdogan is the last person who should be talking about illegal occupations

  42.  @tarik6990  I agree, Bosniaks are true Europeans
    2
  43.  @moalam9794  Blood comes before religion. The Bosniaks have worshipped in Slavic Pantheon temples, Catholic Cathedrals, Orthodox Churches, and Muslim Mosques, but they were always of Europe.

  44. I agree, I’m fine with small amounts of immigration but this massive stream has brought nothing but problems

  45. There is way more money in being a Muslim than Ex Muslim
    2
  46. Muslims are the fastest growing religion because they have the highest birth rates, and even then the numbers are skewed since a lot of Islamic countries criminalize leaving. The irreligious are still the most converted to religious affiliation on Earth by a LONG shot

  47. Because it showcases they have an understanding of Islam from a place a former member to criticize it

  48. 4:57 While fasting from food is good, fasting from water for long periods can possibly cause damage to many organs (such as the kidneys). Also while pork does cause stomach cancer, so does every other red meat, and in fact, pork has many benefits not found in beef and chicken. The reason it is banned Islam has more to do with the nomadic lifestyle of the Arabs and syncretism with Judaism.

  49. I’d rather have Anti semitism and anti LGBT laws be removed. Make Holocaust denial legal again, don’t take away even more rights. Especially since most Jews and Muslims aren’t native to Europe

  50. The grooming gangs thing was like a decade old controversy, he only did so because the American right got pissed at him for trying to replace them with H1B visa workers.
