If you think someone should be killed for changing faiths... please seek mental health before you hurt anyone!
nobody should be killed, dont forget about the native Indians who where totaly killed by americans. and the americans are stil killing innocent people. is that also religion( muslims) or atheïst people
@Jos Bankston you are a liar now. i just was seeing you're referce. and it is not correct what jou are whritting here. that's the problem whit atheïst people they think they now everthing about islam. stay with youre monkeystory, its better for you
Mazouz s there is no Book that tells To kill indians or you Go To hell... Quran on The other side is homophobic and teachers To hit your wife If She doesnt obey you
I am muslim and I wont kill a ex muslim
Its just a couple of people
Cuz I know that on judgement day everybody gets there punish ments

Not an insult, but a genuine question
@@Fatima-jv1zf your ridiculous questions can be answered with a few simple Google searches but since you still insist on your line of questioning, either out of deliberate ignorance and/or blind faith, people treat you as if you are being dishonest because based on the drivel who have asked above you don't know a thing about evolution. Evolutions starts with the first protein and carbon based molecule that could synthesize energy trapped from the sun's radiation. The error in the replication that follows of RNA proteins, lead to errors, such errors are totally random and are called mutations. Mutations cause variations in generations and as such changes accumulate, changes that would help the organism better survive get naturally selected, as the organisms with those seemingly random (genetic drift) but favourable changes, can survive longer and therefore reproduce at a greater frequency than those members that are not as well adapted. This is a continuous process, and is happening today. Evolution simply states that all beings, be it a tree or a single cellular organism share a common ancestor before the divergences caused by genetic drift guided through natural selection of the fittest individuals. It doesn't say that humans evolved from apes but that humans are apes, just one distinct and very well adapted sub species of great apes among several. We are still evolving and the humans 20 million years from now will resemble us in the same way we resemble the austropithicus Africanus. I don't know where would you get your misrepresentations of the theory of evolution from? But you sure need to read more than just one book. ✌
Many people support other people converting to Muslim but when Muslims convert they begin to hate those individuals. Why? I think a religion should be something you choose, not inheriting it before birth. It's the parent's religion, your religion should be something you believe, whether that be the religion you are currently in or something completely different. That goes for every religion out there.
they think that islam is the only truth religion. i don't want to be rude, but muslims are the least intelligent beings among homo sapiens sapiens.
"Are we so fragile in our faith as to believe that someone leaving it could shake our own"? Yes. That is exactly the problem.
It's also because Islam tells muslims that to kill apostates

The Quran says there are seven heavens above us, sometimes described as seven layers (23:17). We are in the lowest of these layers (دنيا), so the Quran is basically saying that there are six layers "above" the one we are in. The phrase ‘seven heavens’ is used in the whole Quran exactly seven times: 2:29, 41:12, 65:12, 67:3, 71:15, 17:44, and 23:86.[citation needed]
The words "Sea" and "Land" are used 32 and 13 times respectively in the Quran. 32 plus 13 equals 45, and the two words make up 71.1 and 28.9 percent respectively of those 45. These percentages roughly correspond to what we today know the proportion of the Earth's surface made up of water and land to be.
"Human being" is used 65 times: the sum of the number of references to the stages of man's creation is the same:
@@lililala6631 murtad lies, 4:89- "They wish you would disbelieve, as they disbelieved.... But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them any ally or helper"- (this is the verse you murtads like bringing up out of context) 4:90 Except for those who take refuge with a people between yourselves, and (to) whom (there) is a treaty, or those who come to you, their hearts strained at (the prospect of) fighting you or fighting their own people...So if they remove themselves from you and do not fight you, and offer you peace, then Allah has not made for you a cause (for fighting) against them. clearly peaceful apostates arent to be killed.
The Al Baqarah is why most Muslims want to harm them.
Criticism of any religion should not be considered bigotry.
Winston Grettum ... You misread my comment. I said criticism of religion should NOT be considered bigotry.
Spurious Effect good men right here
No criticism of any kind should be considered bigotry tbh.
Very true but that's because they have no peaceful message in islam to make a reform so it will remain the same till it dies.And remember this Christianity made the west what it is today a free open society.and to keep it that way on day we will have another crusade one that will involve all non muslims in western nations.be ready teach your kids the dangers and history of islam for they might face the war or there children if your an american you gna need to pass the info down a few generations for me a brit it wont be so long.stay safe and good luck converting some of these muslims i hope you succeed islam needs to be put in the bin of history where it belongs.
J everything you just said i already new and your 100 percent correct it is very hard for muslim to leave islam so even if you make an impact they wont tell you for fear of there own life.man sometimes i wish islam would just die off already but it will take work and time take care bro.

I've noticed something interesting, many Muslims in the USA are different from their counterparts in Europe and the Middle East, they are not necessarily as devout, many do not attend religious services weekly, and they have very positive views sometimes on drinking, drugs, gay marriage, etc.
However, they are also very sensitive regarding Islam and will try to defend it as much as possible, although I think more due to Western identity politics more than anything; it's an interesting divide between them and Muslims elsewhere in the world
Being a Muslim means you believe in one God and prophet Muhammad is last and final messenger. You follow 5 pillars of islam. I dont have to go to any service events if I don't want to. That doesn't make me less Muslim. And in Islam we aren't forced to give up our wordly life for Islam. There should be balance. And you are literally generalizing billions of people based on your observations of select few. I am sensitive regarding Islam because my entire life in the USA I have been called terrorist and seen as an evil person out to kill people. I defend Islam because it is my god damn American right to do so.
@@juliapigworthy lol islamophobia at its finest. that was the dumbest shit i've read in a while to be honest.
There are many secular Muslims who don't practice Islam but still identify as Muslims and defend Islam as their identity. There are bigots who don't separate Muslims as people from Islam as religion and ideology. We should distinguish. Many Muslims are good people who are victims of brainwashing by Islam since they were born.
@@Uthopemus not understanding that you've been brainwashed is natural and unfortunate. It's easier to call anybody who points it out to you islamophopic. This way you don't need to think for yourself.
@@Uthopemus I read both the Bible and the Quran in translation because I wanted to know why my Muslim friend is suffering. I came to conclusion that the Quran itself is not a problem as much as Islam in the form of Islamic traditions that brainwashed you guys from birth. Some of you indeed question your religion and not just blindly defend it because you were born into it. What about you? Do you question your religion?

Anything that cannot be criticised is definitely a danger to society.
The real problems is most Muslims simply don't take any argument from Non-muslims seriously & this results in creating a dialogue divide & ultimately leads to prejudices. {I know this because I have Muslim friends & i have tried to discuss religion with them}
So the person in the video is right to point to the fact that some hate groups use Ex-muslim arguments to further their agendas but i don't see him looking at his own biases.
They are instructed by their own clerical class (whose access to resourrces is determined by their power ) to do whatever is needed to protect the power of the belief system. Not the credibility of the belief system. But the power of the belief system. That is what is at stake. Because the belief system puts power first, and then draws credibility from it's power. It does not derive power from credibility, because it will not tolerate any discussion of credibility. And that means an expectation to control all dissent. The believers are not expected to evaluate too intensely. They are expected to respond to every threat to the power system, as if that threat was to them personally. And that is why the reaction is always negative. To maintain a system of power, which comes at a cost to individuals within it.
Every system will always have power & only the people at top of power hierarchy gets to define everything including power. Every form of belief eventually leads to power hierarchy {In Indian subcontinent it created Casteism, In Abrahamic religions it resulted in slavery and in modern Neo-liberal order it created the greatest inequality ever on earth etc.} -_- Problem is lack of internal criticism because internal criticism is what allows negotiation among different beliefs & a chance that someday we will achieve the delicate balance between optimal distribution of resources.
One thing is certain though till the 'state' is controlling the narrative & distribution it won't work.
Everything has certain amount of belief because without it there will be no trust in the world & without trust there won't be any community or society so the problem of belief in this case is with regards to it's flexibility not with belief per se.
Your argument perfectly fits Muslim mentality though.

_"Should Muslims Like Me Be So Critical of Ex-Muslims?"_
Be critical of what, their bravery and intelligence? After all, these are the people who sat down and seriously thought about their beliefs; they had the intelligence to identify errors in what they found (something that also requires intellectual courage); and they had to bravery to face the (often unthinking and cowardly) backlash.
Matthew Shute They're almost always people of limited knowledge. They often convert to atheism without knowing the basics of atheism and without critically looking at the actions of atheists!! Jokers looking for a platform!
You talk about ex-Muslims as people with limited knowledge (show me a human with unlimited knowledge and I'll be impressed), but then you talk about people "convert[ing] to atheism" and "the basics of atheism". Nobody converts to atheism, they deconvert from a theistic religion and lose their belief in theism, which makes them atheists.
If someone has examined the tenets of the belief system they were raised into, and they can no longer find it believable, what would you have them do? Pretend that they still believe it? Of course, that's a necessity in some parts of the world, where atheism (and especially apostasy) is met with inhuman persecution and punishment; but are you saying that forcing people to live a lie, to deceive others and try to deceive themselves, is a virtue rather than just a survival strategy?
Yusuf al-Qaradawi is on record as saying that if the punishment for apostasy had been abandoned, Islam wouldn't exist today. As I've asked before: if an ideology only survived because people would be killed if they left it, what does that say about the ideology?
Abdullah K basics of atheism ? Another silly Muslim,,who thinks atheism is another religion ... show me a book of atheism , morons

Although the most peaceful countries are also the most secular, religious people cannot fathom an impetus for being moral without the threat of punishment from an overseer. For a non-religious person it's troubling to think that their morality does not come from within. Are they really just a bunch of Ted Bundies under surveillance?

Secular countries are not the most peaceful lol and you simply follow the subjective morality of your society which is enforced by the law.
@@batman-sr2px no, go read history
Thanks for giving them a fair shake. I think honest, critical, but kind dialogue between ex-Muslims and progressive Muslims is perhaps the most fertile ground for sweeping, positive change throughout all cultures most influenced by Islam.
If you did or could potentially put together a longer form version of this I’d be very interested in seeing it.
The problem is that the Quran and hadiths encourages Muslims to be very critical of ex Muslims. It's worse when you leave the religion and are consider even a bigger enemy. Sad but true
More then that, the Hadiths order there execution.
There around the 7:50 mark there is the video asks: _Are we so fragile in our faith that someone leaving it could shake our own?_ If the act of someone leaving Islam _does_ shake someone's faith, wouldn't that be okay too? I have heard many times that Islam wants people to question. That is, of course, profoundly untrue. But it should be true.
Well, that is what the Quran says in Surah 71, describing how Noah decided that all infidels must be killed to prevent them from having infidel offspring and causing the muslims to leave islam. Muhammad made this version of the biblical tale of Noah up in his early years, proving that he never had a period of pieceful thinking.
+Hans-Joachim Bierwirth What do you think about quran 46:9?
Surah 46 from the late meccan phase (619-622 A.D.) tries to justify the preacher Muhammad by putting him in line with Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, whom he calls prophets like himself. Muhammad claims, he is preaching the same and refers to two scriptures, the Torah and a "book". In Surah 46 this book gets explicitly called the Quran while arab history claims, there was no Quran when Muhammad walked the earth. The preaching in Surah 46 claims, there are no new inventions but only confirmations. To me that sounds like Muhammad was running around with something like a bible and used it to make believe he could read it and preach from that. But that is my personal interpretation only. Standard commentary (i. e. Ibn Kathīr) goes to great lengths explaining this Surah as focussed on the conflict between the self-declared prophet and the people from Mecca, whom he threatened with total destruction refering to examples from the bible and from arab history. There is also an attempt at proving the authenticity of the prophet and "his book" by refering to miracles and witnesses although the latter refers to the two scriptures he mentions. Vers 9 is a massive threat which can be overlooked by readers unfamiliar with Muhammads phrasing. Being a warner is always used in context with total destruction like i. e. in Surah 71.
UtechS Islam is the fastest growing religion in the West. It's also not a death cult. Look at the secular West in the last two centuries and you will see who is the real death cult.
UtechS also, where in the life of Muhammad pbuh did he kill someone for leaving Islam? There are plenty of examples in the history of Islam where people left the religion and nothing happened to them. The whole death to apostates argument is one you idiots blow out of proportion by lacking context. This is why you westerners are failing in all you do. You think you can win by lying.

That is forbidden by Islam; in fact if you tell them you have changed your mind their book tells them they should KILL you. Do YOU think that is right?? That is the only important question.
chris price
You don't know much. You just find names in history and advertise them willy nilly. Did you know that after his 'Islamist phase' (once he came to his senses according to you) he was responsible for what many would call genocide? I bet not. Go as Mr Google!
As for 'free speech' ask the people you and your co-religionists have been dropping bombs on about how free their speech is?
Didn't understand any part of the rant about the 'book'. You'll have to explain what you are asking?
Abdullah K : You didn't answer my question, but just blathered irrelevantly. You holy book tells you to kill people who leave your religion. Do you deny that? And I ask again: Do you think that is right?
Actually, Voltaire is one of the reasons why the West has historically had such a rosy view of Islam. He caricatured the religion positively as a foil to say to the intolerant Europeans of his age, "Why can't you be tolerant? -- Even the barbarian Mohammedans can do it!" If Voltaire had actually written a critique of Islam, he would have been as negative as Churchill.

Thank you so much for doing this Aymann. People like Sarah and Muhammad are so great and it's their voices we need to hear on these topics. Too often we get the shallow Bill Maher types. We need real people with real experiences to be heard!
I highly appreciate your work, dope editing, humble, excellent approach to interviewing. i believe the world needs to hear more honest and self-reflective conversations instead of debates 'that destroys' whosoever... the burning desire to be correct and to seek security whether in the context of faith or the absence of it can be very destructive. much love and support to your work and channel
As an atheist I love this. It’s very rare to see Muslims finding the right away considering the religion is just so pushed down your throat
I'm an ex-Muslim, because it's very unlikely that a God exists, but also because there's too much sexism, creationism, and homophobia in the orthodox community. Islam, undoubtedly needs reform and suffers from a disproportionate number of extremists, but Muslims don't all suffer from intolerance, leaving Islam hasn't cost me my relationship with my Muslim family, my parents are happy to meet my gay friends and have them stay over when i visit them, my mother's close friend's sister is also a lesbian, it's not something that's discussed, but her and her partner are invited to their family and community social events. Judge people as individuals.
Sarfaraz Hussein Merchant So you left Islam because of what the individual did. I think you need to read the Quran for yourself , and find out what Islam really is about. I hope that you restore your faith in Allah.
Fetid Tuna did you really...
Fetid Tuna, pedophilia, war, and theocratic oppression are bothersome in any environment, but aren't something that I experienced within my cultural milieu.
Parwana Shirahmad, I left because i couldn't square scientific naturalism with literalist theology, and a lack of more modern interpretations and progressive congregations to draw me into the community aspect. There are an awful lot of middle-class professional Muslims, who feel ostracised because of excessive conservatism. I still regard my identity, in part, as consisting of being a cultural Muslim.
Fetid Tuna, All religions, but Abrahamic ones in particular, have ancient scriptures that clash with modernity. The Islamic world used to be enlightened for its time, but has either stagnated or fallen into fundamentalism, due in large part to the failures of competing ideologies, while the rest of the world has moved on. The twin civilising forces of secularism and liberalism need to play the same pacifying influence on the Islamic world, as they have on other cultures, so Muslims can more successfully navigate faith and modernity, and broader emerging challenges like populism, globalization, and automation.
Sarah Haider is exceedingly cute
Totally irrelevant.
I know she is. There are a lot of cute muslim chicks. We gotta get them out of islam.
Not important, but God damn I agree emphatically.

lol indeed.
“O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitaanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayaat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.
119. Lo! You are the ones who love them but they love you not, and you believe in all the Scriptures [i.e. you believe in the Tawraat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), while they disbelieve in your Book, the Qur’aan]. And when they meet you, they say, ‘We believe.’ But when they are alone, they bite the tips of their fingers at you in rage. Say: ‘Perish in your rage. Certainly, Allaah knows what is in the breasts (all the secrets).’
120. If a good befalls you, it grieves them, but if some evil overtakes you, they rejoice at it. But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious - See V.2:2), not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allaah surrounds all that they do”
[Aal ‘Imraan 3:118-120]
“Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) till you follow their religion. Say: ‘Verily, the Guidance of Allaah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance.’ And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur’aan), then you would have against Allaah neither any Wali (protector or guardian) nor any helper”

I like how he said "I consider myself to be a feminist" Yet Muhammad said Women are Stupid, Get lest inheritance than Men, 2 women equals 1 man for witness in Court, Men get 4 wives and Women only 1 husband... (He is like a Chicken Supporting KFC)
Tbh I'm not saying it's normal that your parents are ignoring you or whatever for leaving Islam but this problem is common in all religious families. Most people who have reverted to Islam have had issues with their parents/family as well. Ignoring, lack of acceptance and understanding is common in MOST families and could even be considered a "normal" or "expected" reaction. I am fully aware that it doesn't have to be like this but the sad reality is it is.
This is beautiful, so many people think "if you don't agree with me you're one of them." People fail to see that we all have the same goal, peace and understanding, but we can disagree with the ways to get there and still be friends. Thank you, while i don't agree with your beliefs I agree with your attitude and your open-mindedness.
The goal of Islam? Definitely. The goal of Muslims? Definitely not.
I'm not kidding myself, if I wanted to know what Muslims are like and what they want I'd ask my parents over breakfast. If I wanted to know what horseshit Islam wanted I'd read the Quran. I don't need you to tell me what I can read for myself, thank you.
I agree, that's why i left islam. In case it wasn't clear I dont agree with the views of the interviewer. But at least he has an open-mind and willing to listen.
This has to be the best comment! I was very disappointed in all of the small minded people.
I lived in Utah for 2 years and met so many Mormons. Generally speaking there all very nice and sweet. But there was this one incident that stood out to me. When someone I knew left the religion and her family disowned her and wanted nothing to do with her anymore. (She was only 14). I don’t think this reflects anything on Mormons them self’s. But it’s always the bad things that speak louder and portray a bigger image. This is probably the cause for all the hatred, violence, and separation. I could me wrong. Today’s world is seriously fucked up.
The problem isn't with fundamentalists or fundamentalism, the problem lies in the fundamentals of the doctrine.
As a muslim I found it weird that some people hate on another because of there believes.If someone doesn't want to be a muslim anymore why do you care at least he is not being hypocrite about it.
Where I come from, majority are Muslim and a simple support for LGBTQ+ can land you death threats and curses. If you simply speak about women right, you receive curses involving family members. Let alone asserting that I left Islam. I've received multiple death threats myself. Guess, where I come from? Bangladesh, mentioned in this very video for the murder of a Blogger Avijit Ray. I've been seeing that since childhood. How much of that will finally justify being pissed at a religious ideology? I'm not saying all Muslims are bad. There are Muslims like you who wouldn't care. Muslims are human just like me. But there's something inherently wrong with the ideology.
@@nafizimtiaz3320 i am from bangladesh too. while support there are more ppl supporting lgbtq or ok with others supporting it in the younger generations, i cannot say the same with out parents generations.....
and I have denounced my faith, but my parents does not know about it. why? because before i decided i was a non-muslim, i had this conversation with my dad where i talked bout how family members should react if one leaves islam. well, what he said made it clear that if he hears i denounced my faith, he might beat me up, force me to pray and read quran every single day cuz i have 'astrayed' and possibly even disown me when i become and adult if i dont change my ways.

The best way to create an atheist is to get the person to read their holy books!
I'm a mormon, and I have dealt with a lot of ex-mormons and the complications therein, but I feel that there is much more to leaving Islam than there is with my own religion. Leaving something you've grown up with is always extremely difficult and it is admirable that they are speaking up about this subject, especially considering their personal safety concerns. Good video.
Mormons seem so sweet and nice though, in that old fashioned kind of way! And their choir is also awesome! :)
It would be different if Mormons had been the dominant religion in some country for several hundred years, and thus creators of laws & culture etc.
The attitude of those who have never been very powerful is different from the attitudes shaped by wielding power for a long time.
A lot of mormons are sweet and nice but it's frustrating for exmormons to come forward with experiences of abuse and intolerance from within the faith and have people tell them "but mormons are so nice though, why are you being so mean"
oh you think its a little different leaving islam then lds. LOL!!!

I think the red-haired girl should have responded with "Have you studied all of the world religions before coming to a conclusion about them?" One does not have to be a scholar to notice problems, especially since the lay person may take the readings literally, in which case on what authority do the scholars claim to have the true interpretation? The lay person may claim that they are following the religious text, which they would be doing, literally.
This is tragic in so many ways.

Sarah is right - people like her are helping "Westerners" to accept, sympathise/empathise and identify more with people with heritage from "Islamic" countries. It is very helpful to see that they are "regular" people with "regular" wishes, wants, feelings and thoughts - and struggles.
I am an atheist and was always very critical about my "birth" religion, Catholicism, and e.g. its (mis)treatment of women. When other people criticise the Vatican or Catholics, pointing out real issues, I do not see that as anti-Catholic bigotry but constructive and necessary criticism. It is not that I hate Catholics or wish them ill.
Well-founded criticism is vital for a healthy development, for progress. (E.g. Nationalism is also problematic because it too forbids healthy criticism - if a system/country is already "perfect" - which is nonsense - how can it get better?)
There are many injustices, not only in Islam. Only by pointing at a problem we can start fixing it.
Fear of anti-Muslim bigotry should not silence necessary critique and reform. Otherwise things that are wrong are never getting better - to the detriment of Muslims. That would be an immense injustice.
Human Rights are Universal. Cultural relativism is hurting the most vulnerable people, globally. I, as a "born" Catholic women, would be suffering greatly under a purist Catholic regime. Thankfully, there are Universal Human Rights and Civil Liberties that protect me from Catholic overreach. Also (hard to imagine, I know!) Catholicism is already a bit reformed. It is much better, much more "humane" than (let`s say) 100 years ago, and much, much better than (let`s say) 500 years ago.
Islam could do with a reform. And people who are atheists and left Islam should live a peaceful life out in the open and have a voice! That is necessary progress!
I am glad, that the Ex-Muslims of North America exist and I congratulate them for their courageous and important work.

I am a practicing Muslim, but I feel like it’s my place to stand up for what is right. You can’t blame the entire religion based on some stupid people. Are you telling me that once you become an atheist you will turn into angles and don’t do nothing wrong?? My question is what are you going to to once you find out that your atheists are doing bad things? What religion are you going to pick then??? It might be odd to you that I am defending Catholics, but as Muslim we are thought to do the right thing. It’s also because we Muslims know how it feels to be blamed for others wrong doing.
mma to answer your question i was once an aetheist becos of catholic. I was in a catholic religion and yet they dont give any satisfaction to what is my purpose in life. But being a human and want to change something in me i keep on searching what is the truth. And the prayers ive been asking was answered and showed me a lot of visions. God prove me everything i need to know about Him. I did not even want to be a born again before but see. Look what i found? 3 white doves right in front of me. The earthquake in the Philippines happened earlier. I have dreamed and read from the bible book of haggai. Book of jerimiah about false prophet. Book of matthew 24 that leads me to believe. I saw these all in m dreams. And the last part was the showers of fire crackers in my dreams that happened few hours in israel. I saw these in my dreams and its clear. How will i go to serve my master if i dont know my master? So He gave me a lot of reason to know Him and reading a bible is crcucial to everyone. That is the only way you could only find the truth. I even read quran but i dont feel satisfaction. I even pray to God if he was there in quran then give me answers. But no answered prayers. Book of john 10 tells “Jesus said. I am the shepered. My sheep knows my voice. And they follow my voice” I heard His voice when the first time i attended to night of worship was invited by a friend. He talked to me and said “My child, you are saved”. Have u experienced all of these things? Its not about studies. Its all about heart. Faith.
@Meryan Valenzuela damn… nice, sadly I’ve never experienced those.
Also am a former Catholic.
@@meryanvalenzuela3836 I don't know where you are now, but I think reading the Bible for yourself really helps.

It's a good conversation.. Nothing earth-shattering. These ex-Muslim atheists seem like nice people and I wish them well in their quest for truth. The Muslim guy is also understanding and sympathetic to their predicament. We all need to be having these conversations and to support freedom of conscience. And they do recognize that some ex-Muslims who jump into the rightwing echo-chamber are coopted into spreading bigotry and intolerance. This is admirable given the bigotry and intolerance that is shown to them by some self-professed Muslims and governments in Muslim majority countries. Being respectful of those who choose not to follow your faith is a sign of spiritual maturity and an opportunity for growth. That applies to Muslims, Atheists, Christians, and Pastafarians.

Oh dear, just don't say anything because the far right could use it? WTF? Anyway they call everyone far right that critizises Islam.
I’m muslim. I believe Islam shouldn’t be used to justify bad choices and I believe the Quran shouldn’t be used out of context to win a point. If you have faith, you have faith. If you don’t have faith and still respect everybody that does, then you deserve respect too, as a human being. This is Islam. This is peace in its definition. Live and let people live. Everyone that does no harm deserve outer respect. I’m so tired of every kind of extremism, not just religious ones, instrumentalizing details to prove what? That they’re right about what they think?

As a practicing Muslim, I loved this video. Everyone has their own spiritual journey, and, as a Muslim, I believe that it is our duty to respect others personal journeys and only show them love and respect. As a Muslim, I will not be judge for others decisions, but only how I react to it. I decide to show them only love and support. I hope that the media and individuals stops using these ex-Muslims’ struggle and their story for their own personal agenda. I wish only the best for them and that this will start a new conversation. If this group ever comes to Chicago, I will be one of the first to attend an event, head cover and all, and hope to have an honest, respectful conversation to understand their perspective. Thank you for this video and thank you for sharing this perspective.
That's the problem with Islam. Muhammad wasn't too keen on making it his duty to respect the personal journey of others and show them love and respect. In fact he waged many wars against nonbelievers. He raided caravans all the time. He took slaves and concubines who he raped. Does that sound like the perfect example of humanity to you?
@Mister Guy so when muslims do bad things you say all muslims are like that and we are all trash, but when a muslim says anything normal you say "no you can't do that you're book tells you that you cant!!" You are the problems here not this person, you are literally wanting her to be a bad person and then cry when a muslim does something, also what do you mean that "as a muslim he thinks that you should go to hell" you can only have one view on that, you don't make sense😂

Thank you so much for making such a sensitive, balanced video. There's so much hostility coming from all over the place - I won't say "both sides" because there are more than two! - and it's wonderful that people are creating respectful dialogues and outreach.
I'm a muslim and honestly it's none of my business if someone decides to leave Islam. I wouldn't do it but more power to you, I guess. I think a lot of prejudice from within the muslim community against ex-muslims stems from very vocal ex-muslims who are raised in a very conservative islamic environment who preach about how islam is bad and barbaric and nobody should be muslim etc etc etc, I think this is just a loud minority. But it's annoying to have someone bash a belief you hold close to your heart all the time. That's not an excuse to threaten or hurt somebody of course, but the demonization of the entire religion needs to stop imo. The interpretations and translations are too diverse to say that it's all hateful or bad or whatever. There are certainly interpretations I consider to be bad and hateful. I can't stress enough that I disagree with the laws a lot of muslim countries have in place, especially Saudi-Arabia. If I was raised in a less tolerant, more conservative household I probably would have issues with Islam too. The people in this video seem okay to me. Final note: it's ok to criticize religion. But know the difference between criticizing and just outright bashing. By that I mean; try not to paint the subject with a broad brush, it's quite nuanced. And be respectful. Have a great day.

When muslims get the chance to leave islam, plenty do. Islam spreads by threat of death, its the only way this intellectually bankrupt system could spread.
I agree - I think ex-Muslims should be heard in order for us to critique the way it is practiced by so many in the world. This doesn’t mean they are correct in their interpretations on Qur’anic verses or hold an accurate understanding of the depth of meaning the scripture contains, but they are also illuminating the fact that the people of faith they’ve chosen to depart with ALSO hold often even more twisted and backwards views of the scriptures. The very fact that ex-Muslims chose to step away from the violence and judgment they have experienced in their former lives as Muslims, in my view, brings them closer to God and Muhammad’s message for humanity.
I’m from Pakistan and Ex- Muslim now.
These individuals had questions no one - they knew - had answers for. As practicing Muslims it is our duty to be brave enough to address the questions and issues that some people have and face. And for those out there making this an Islamic issue, its not, we have many incidents where Christians killed their family members because they converted to Islam. The issue here is to be open to understanding and basically just talking with sense. Wishing everyone an enlightened journey. Amen.
thank you for clearing that up, I just wish it was addressed in the video itself. It honestly lacked a lot of explanation.
Wrong. To reject the killing of apostates, the killing of homosexuals, the subjugation of women and the legitimacy of slavery is to reject Islam. Islam demands all these things. If you don't endorse them, then you are not a faithful Muslim, and God bless you for it. Islam is a false and phony religion made up by a toxic personality who was a warlord, a mass murderer, an oppressor, and a dictator. It is not compatible with an open society or democracy. Reject it, and free yourself from the delusions of a madman.
Querent2000 i wish you peace of heart and mind. It is obvious you have anger beyond words. May Allah guide you to the light. I truly wish that for you.
@@emantarawneh1481Very generous of you. Thank you. But my criticisms of Islam don't come from anger. They are simple facts.
Querent2000 Ok angry person. I usually don’t like going into discussions with aggressive and closed minded people, but here goes.
As for killing apostates and homosexuals, Please share with me a verse of the Quran (our holy book and main reference) that says that. Death penalties are always stated in the Quran.
As for slavery, it was in the Arab (and many other cultures as well) culture in which Islam began. Legislations in Islam were usually gradually introduced- such as forbidding drinking alcohol, etc. - so as not to shake societal norms and balance. Freedom of slaves was a main component of being a practicing Muslim and was requested as a means of cleansing oneself of many sins. Islam was to abolish slavey within a few years. Slavey is no longer accepted in Islam.
And as for the subjugation of women, just as an FYI, Aisha, one of prophet Muhammad’s wives was a teacher of men and women on religious issues. They attended lectures by her where she would talk to them and answer their questions. Subjugation and teaching do not go hand in hand.
It is really getting annoying for Muslims to continue to have to answer to lazy and angry people. Everyone is free to have his or her opinion, but lets try to communicate with respect, and one’s belief is their own, no one should need to defend it.
Again, I truly wish you an enlightened journey where you do your homework without previous judgements and with an open heart and mind. And should Islam continue to not make sense to you, thats fine. Just let everyone be and accept that we do not all have to be the same.
Salam (peace)
This is more of a "Don't ask, don't tell" kinda situation.
"I hated that," is not an argument. If you think that being muslim is free and nonrestrictive, then by all means make a counter argument, don't just say that you hate that.
I just see islam for the primative, sexist, homophobic bullshit that it is. That's all.
This video is so well done. People like you ARE the solution. People who are not fragile in their faith to order "apostates" at the very least to leave and shut up (in order not to fuel the right wing etc). These experiences of being molested and maligned by former siblings in faith are VALID. The criticism is valid. Bottle up criticism for long enough and your vessel explodes. Respectful debate and potentially respectful disagreement is the way to go. Right now Muslim communities appear neurotically scared of anyone saying that and why they do not believe what is said in the Quran. That is not a healthy state to be in for a religious community. And then add the constant trheat of violence against dissent.
I'm Muslim and I don't care what color, race, or what your religion is. All I care is that you are a good and non toxic person. If you want to leave a religion or something that's not my choice therefore I don't care. I love everyone and everything :) [except satan]
"Should Muslims like me be so critical of ex-muslim?" Its fine and acceptable.
"Should people (including ex-muslim) be so critical of Muslim?" Automatically you are labeled islamophobic.
I feel so happy wgen I see more people leaving islam openly because they encourage so many other Muslims
Leaving Islam and retaining the name of the Profit suggests that the chains have not been fully removed, think about that. ☀️️
Prophet!
You are doing a good thing, Slate! Hats off to you, this isn't easy.
