  1. Are people taking this man seriously? He’s skimming over the facts of Islamic texts, citing a few examples that serve only his narrative. He says he’s surprised that UK Muslim organisations have not condemned Hamas. Does he tell you that the most respected Sunni Islam authority in the world, Al-Azhar University, put out a statement saying it was “proud” of the “act of resistance by Hamas” on October 7🤮. Don’t let this man lull you into a sense of complacency. Islam ☪️ is NOT compatible with the West. Muslims who barely follow Islam or their prophet are fine.

  2. Well said, and congratulations on your liberation from Islam!!! Your story is similar to a few young Kashmiri men who I've talked to in Dharamshala. They all told me that they can't be open about their disbelief in Islam or their life would be in danger. I just commented a a few minutes ago about the other side of your story, where some of my Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslim friends used to be very 'moderate', but who are now following a much more intolerant, extreme and fundamentalist path. The ex-Muslim movement from Kerala is a great step in the right direction...🙏

  4.  @anonymous-yl3pd : Oh this is a surprise! I've never heard from any ex-Muslim girls in India. I understand that your life could very well be in danger. I wish I could do more to help, but at least know that the ex-Muslim is growing and hopefully it will soon be normalised and you can begin a new open life. Stay safe. Sending you a big hug and much love...♥

  5. This is an excellent comment. I'm also sad that the other #indigenous groups weren't granted control in their ancestral homelands in the way that the Jewish people were after WWI. When the Ottoman Middle East land was carved up, the imperialist Arabs ended up with 99% of it, today's Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. And one-fifth of Israeli citizens are Arabs. But people still complain. They want all of the land for the Arabs I guess...🙏

  6. In my 30 years of travelling in Muslim-majority countries, I've know many young men who once held 'moderate' views, a few years later express to me very 'extreme' and fundamentalist views. This is because, as Sarah says, these tenets are "baked into" the religion. Islam has an underlying teaching of inequality and intolerance towards non-Muslims, and the internet has created an environment of rapid social change. At any time your mild-mannered Muslim friend can turn to those teachings and begin to fulfil his obligations to fight a holy war for Allah against the Infidels. #jihad

  7.  @amreenmahmood2524 : The sword of Muhammed figures prominently on flags and Islamic insignia. The sword is central to the doctrine of Islam.

  9. ​ @lufhopespeacefully2037 : I've never studied the Bible in depth, but I believe it teaches that "we are all equal in the eyes of God". That's why Judeo-Christian cultures uphold the general principle of equal rights under the law. You can't have that in Islam. Sharia Law has different jurisdictions for people according to their religion and to their gender. It's a horrible discriminatory system of law.

  10.  @lufhopespeacefully2037 : That was a very long and idealistic reply to a fairly straightforward topic and I'm not sure that I got your point. Here are some questions for you: = What if the wife doesn't want to get pregnant so soon after having a baby. She knows she's at the fertile time of her cycle but her husband wants to force sex upon her. Can she refuse?  = Will he go out and find a prostitute or an illicit relationship if she refuses?  = What if the man has multiple wives and there is no longer much of an emotional bond with one or two of them. Can they refuse sex with him?  = Wouldn't it be more just to have the concept of giving consent to sex in marriage like we have in Judeo-Christian cultures?
    2
  11.  @lufhopespeacefully2037  : It's great that you never force or subjugate your wife. But you are only one person. I've met Muslim women who have been forced, subjugated, beaten and abused by their husband. And he tells me to look at Quran 34:4 where it says that husbands are the protector of their females and they have control over them. He must also ensure that she is obedient. I do know Muslims who've left Islam but then they have doubts and go back for a while. But once they start questioning things, they are usually on the path to apostasy. The trend in the Arab world today is for people to leave their religion, not to convert back into it. Iran is no longer a Muslim-majority country based on a large survey carried out a couple of years ago.Being critical of an ideology doesn't mean that one hates it. I certainly don't hate any people. I want the best for everyone and I see that Islam has some major flaws. Islam is not compatible with the human rights that are practiced in cultures based on Judeo-Christian values.

  12. Well said. This guest didn't bother to tell us the whole story of his prophet's relationship with Jews. In the beginning Muhammed was 'friendly' when he hoped to convert the Jews. But they rejected his new ideology so he turned against them, and it's been like that ever since Islam began. Ed Husain also ignored the many negative verses in the Quran about Jews, which form the basis for Jew-hatred in the Muslim world. Ed Husain is either delusional or trying to fool the West.

  13. Wasn't that always the goal of the Arab League? To use the #displaced Arabs as weapons to create chaos within Israel, since it proved impossible to be militarily defeated?
    2
  14.  @MrBahjatt  As well as having the legal and sovereign right to all of the land, they are the #indigenous people of Israel. They share their country with one-fifth Arab Israeli citizens who have equal rights with Jews.

  18. Many Muslims leave Islam due to the horrible rights that women and girls have in Islam. Polygamy, child marriage, guardianship, wife-beating, no consent required for sex in marriage, inequality in divorce... these are all things that people in the West cannot accept where we uphold equality for all under the law. What do you say about these things? Are you permitted to be critical?

  19.  @BVonBuescher : I'm very sad that the Kurds didn't get their own country in 1920, but what kind of division would you have suggested? Wars are expensive in human life and materials, so the victors should take advantage of deciding what happens with the land. It makes sense to give the Jewish people control of a tiny 1% of the carved-up Ottoman Middle East land, as they are the indigenous people and helped the British win WWI. Israel also has great strategic and ideological value to the Judea-Christian west. Maybe Lebanon for the Maronite Christians was a good idea at the time? I don't know how else Syria, Iraq and Jordan should have been divided. If they'd been kept as one country, that might have been too powerful. What's a better idea?

  20. That's such a tragic story. Why won't people believe the Taliban (and other fundamentalist Islamic groups) when they say they hate anything Western, that they hate Infidels and 'occupiers', and that this is an essential part of their doctrine?
    2
  21. OMG, he's delusional. He thinks that his "fairy tale" version of Islam will be accepted by other Muslims? The best thing that could happen is for Islam to collapse. Other religions have come and gone. The internet is revealing the truth of Islam to those born into Islam.

  22.  @lufhopespeacefully2037 : The majority of women who convert to Islam do so because they fall in love with an 'exotic' Muslim man. I know because I'm one of them. I was invited to become a Muslim so I said "first I must study Islam". That's when I discovered how horrible it is for girls and women, though I had already seen how females are treated as second-class or even as commodities in the Muslim-majority countries that I've lived in. Muslim women have very little protection under the law. Men can marry multiple wives. Men of over 50 can marry, have sex with, then divorce nine year old prepubescent girls [Qur'an 65:4, Sunnah]. Men can rape their wives because Islam has no provision for 'consent' for sex in marriage. I could go on and on, but I'm sure you get the picture of what I find really bad about Islam where male-female relationships are concerned. There is NO dignity or integrity for females in Islam. It's a religion made for men.

  23. ​ @lufhopespeacefully2037 : Muhammad struck Aisha in the chest (Sahih Muslim 4:2127). The Quran says a Muslim man can BEAT his wife even if he only FEARS her disobedience.

  24. I've been messaging with young engineer from Gaza who contacted me asking for money or assistance to get his family out of Gaza. He said that he doesn't support Hamas but he has the same goal as Hamas. He says ALL of Palestine is their land, and that ALL Muslims have an ideological and religious obligation to fight to get it back from the Jews. Pretty much straight out of Qur'an 2:191.

  25.  @adaptiveagile : I agree. He's very intelligent, optimistic, and a 'reformist' Islamic thinker. But no reformist Muslim has succeeded before him, and he's only influencing a very small number of Muslims. We shouldn't let Ed Husain lull us into thinking that there is no problem with a large Muslim population within our Western cultures. So long as the Islamic scriptures and the role-modelling of their prophet contains violence, and the goal of one day subjugating the whole world for their god, we must be on guard.

  26. The term "antisemitic" specifically refers to people who are hostile or prejudiced against Jewish people.
    1
  27.  @Robert-xs2mv : I agree. I also think it's confusing to have a special term for one racial or ethnic group. Antisemitism simply means racial discrimination against Jews, or Jew-hatred. But you must also know that "semite" is not a group of people. It relates to those who speak semitic languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic, Aramaic, etc. so you can't say that Arabs are "semites" because that's also kind of silly.
    1
  28.  @Robert-xs2mv : I'm no expert either, and I'm not even sure what point you are trying to make. As you say, all of the people who speak English today are from different cultural or social groups, and the same could be said for those who speak Semitic languages today. I think it's a term that relates more to the ancient language groups. The Latin language group is probably the more correct term for ancient English speaking peoples. As for using the term race, as in 'racial' discrimination, it's the term that is in most common use today, though 'ethnic' discrimination would probably be a better term to use for the Jewish people because Jews don't look like one 'race' due to their being scattered all across the world for centuries and evolving with different skin colouring, etc. That might be one reason why the specific word 'antisemitic' was invented for Jews in 1860? As for speaking about Jews as an #indigenous group, the commonly used definition is "people from a unique cultural or social group who have had a continuous connection to a specific land, where they live or from where they've been displaced". The Jewish people have a unique language, kings, artefacts and archaeological sites, ancestral burial places, etc. which are all well-documented.

  29. Huh? Two million Arabs who are mostly Muslim, many who also identify as 'Palestinian', are citizens of Israel today with equal rights under the law. That's one-fifth of Israel's population! The hostile Arabs of Gaza and Judea and Samaria have forfeited any right to a state of their own.

  30.  @MrBahjatt  Israel was born out of the DEFEAT of the Ottoman Empire in 1918. When that land was carved up, Arabs were granted self-rule in 99% of it, today’s Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Do you question the legitimacy of those countries, or just Israel’s?

  31. He didn't "justify" it. He said the security lapse was something that could be fixed. What cannot easily be fixed is the ideological goal of the 'Palestinians'. They want ALL of the land, with NO Jews.

  32. Why does this man believe that an Islamic Sharia-implementing group would EVER uphold a democratic political process? He seems to be living in a dreamworld. What's one example of a Muslim-majority country which is also a democracy and is successful in maintaining that? Bangladesh was a possibility, but now it's back in the hands of fundamentalist Muslims.

  34. In 1918, when the Ottoman Empire was DEFEATED by the Allied Powers there was a window of opportunity for the #indigenous Jewish people, who fought on the side of the British, to be granted the right to reconstitute their ancestral homeland so long as the current occupants were given equal civil rights and freedom of religion. Wars have consequences and the losers of aggressive wars don't get to choose who gets what. The Arabs of Palestine fought on the side of the Ottoman Turks, or they stayed neutral. They've been on the losing side in all subsequent wars too.

  35. You mean those Arab countries where 800,000 Jews were ethnically cleansed from after 1948?

  36. ​ @pantethine66 : Are those Muslims who choose not to take the Quran verses literally still free to REJECT outright some of the obligations for Muslims that are in the Quran? Can those 'adapted' Muslims march against the extremist Muslims who support Hamas? What would happen to them? Your 'moderate' or 'adapted' Muslims are stuck in the middle, and they give cover to the hardliners. It's also dangerous for them to leave Islam if they don't believe in all of the actions of the prophet, including having sex with a child, taking multiple wives, and the warlord activities which included taking booty and sex slaves. It's a horrible mess.

  37. I agree, however Leftism isn't supported by a doctrine from 'god' so that gives me hope that this crazy time will soon pass. Congratulations on leaving Islam.

  38. The pro-Palestine professor repeated the immature and superficial arguments that I hear from uneducated Egyptians. So disappointing for me to hear. I support Zionism as it’s simply the implementation of Jewish “indigenous rights”. It doesn’t mean Israel is exclusively Jewish. One-fifth of Israeli citizens are Arabs, mostly Muslim, and most of them don’t want to live in a ‘Palestinian’ Arab Muslim state… 🙏🇮🇱

  39. This ex-police detective seems knowledgeable but on Islam he takes us for FOOLS!!! He calls for leaders of the Islamic community to come out and say they don't want Sharia, and they don't want to take over the UK. But we know that Muslims are permitted to LIE to Unbelievers in order to further the cause of Allah. And it's very clear in their scriptures and the traditions of Muhammed that they DO want to subjugate all Unbelievers and claim the whole world for their horrible ideology and their dark 'god'. Thank goodness we are still allowed to vent a bit on YouTube even if no-one reads it...🙄🙏

  40. Egypt refused to allow for children and mothers of small children to be evacuated from the war zone to a secured humanitarian camp just inside Sinai. What other country keeps children TRAPPED in a war zone?

  41. Islam is not growing. The trend is for people to leave Islam. Although the birth rate for Muslims is still quite high, those children born into Islam will now have access to the internet as they grow up and they and can learn about how there are no rights for women and girls, how the so-called science in the Qur'an is nonsense, and how Islam is primarily a socio-political system which controls people. But exMuslims have to keep it quiet as they might be punished for #apostasy.

  42. You'd have "attempted to engage in dialogue" with this Islamic jihadist terrorist group after the October 7 massacre? You think no dialogue had taken place before that? You think no truce was in place, with thousands of Gazans going into Israel every day for work? Dialogue had been happening for decades!!! All of the Arab countries have shut the door on the so-called Palestinians. They've rejected every chance at peace and a state of their own. They want ALL of the land, with NO Jews. Don't you listen when they tell us that?

  43.  @AminTheMystic : They might number millions today but in 1948 they were only around 700,000. Within a couple of years of the 'nakba' all the #displaced Arabs should have been integrated into those Arab countries which attacked Israel. But the so-called Palestinians are useful "pawns" for the Arab world to use to put pressure on Israel.

  44. The new leader of Syria, al-Jolani, is one of the best examples of how a dark well-cut suit can change a man.

  45. That's nonsense. For example, Iran today is only around 30% Muslim. The growing trend is for Muslims to leave Islam but they can't speak out about their #apostasy because they might get killed.

  48. This lovely man seems to be delusional, drowning in wishful thinking. At 1:35:00 he talked about Al-Azhar University in Cairo. Al-Azhar is considered to be the highest Sunni Islam authority in the world but you can't rely on this institution to deradicalise any Muslims. One day after the Hamas massacre the head of the university put out a statement saying they were "proud" of the 'resistance' by Hamas🤮. Egypt is simmering with Muslim radicals and extremists, and you never know when one will be indoctrinated to become a jihadist.

  49. Israel has the legal claim to all of the land from the river to the sea. In return for supporting the Allies in WWI the #indigenous Jews were promised the chance to reconstitute *their ancestral homeland*, so long as the current occupants were given equal rights. Two million Arab Israelis today have equal rights with Jews. Israel should extend sovereignty over the Gaza Strip and offer "residence status" to the Gazan people. Those who REJECT this should be assisted to resettle elsewhere. Those who accept it should have a pathway to full citizenship in due time so long as they pledge allegiance to the Jewish state of Israel.  Note that the land of Israel is less than 1% of the Ottoman Empire's Middle East land which was ceded to the Allies and then carved-up for self-determination. The Hejazi Arabs got 99% of the land in return for their support in the war effort, alongside Lawrence of Arabia. They were given Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
