@Greg Kanowitz It wasn't hidden, the thing is usa only got interested post 9-11, and that's where the moneys come from. My country is "the west" and us (the colege people from himanities) already knew it.
EXACTLY! The reason muslim scholars that know the truth about islam wont leave is because they make too much money, they're not going to leave because it's their livelihood
@Mundy Sharke charlatans would be every where as ex Muslim scholars or pro Islam scholars, I think apart from money it the group of you have formed long life relation and personal emotions u have grown up with that also plays role in their decisions . Also The amount of death threats ex Muslim recieve vs pro Islam scholars . And the backlash they would get once they turn from pro to pointing mistakes with logic . The whole idea of Islam is servitude, if it was so easy for new ideas and controversial topics to flow and discuss in Islam , then most muslims would have already left
@Mundy Sharke they would be called Islamophobe plus they would lose all the respect and praise they receive from Muslim communities. Im a normal lad not scholar or anything, but I used to be really religious I went to Hajj, the respect I received from my family and friends was massive, they don't smoke front of me, they don't curse front of me, and they would protect me by all means. And that really hard to leave behind you specially if you are scholar, I left Islam and was really hard to tell everyone, imagine what would happen to a scholar psychy and lively hood if he say Islam is wrong.
@Mundy Sharke Are you sure no one really cared when he became an ex Muslim? Did he tell you that?? And can you compare him to Yasir Qadir, ans actual scholar?? Who had taught a lot of people?? Even led mosques?? You think it's that easy. This shows how little your thinking is or maybe you're just very insincere like most people of your kind. Or imagine Shabir Ally publicly declaring that he left Islam. Just imagine it!!!??!
@Mundy Sharke Well... Hitler was famous too. And so was Osama bin Laden. Such a Muslim scholar will be famous for his apostasy among Muslims seeking for his death, and others will come to know about it after they have killed him or he escapes and the media picks it up which they might actually not. But, I don't think having less than 20 00o suscribers on RUclips can he exactly regardes as fame. I just came to know about Abdullah recently, this was his first video that i full watched. So, i don't think he's exactly what you think. But, sorry, if you think I had an incorrect reading I your comment. I'm sorry about that.
Evidences kill Islam. When one meets a truth, it is hard to escape from it. You tell it before you think because it is in front of you. You need a lot of hard thinking to get away and it will hunt you for ever. Remember Cain, he killed Abel because he wanted his truth to prevail. Then he spent the rest of his life fleeing it. I don’t think he ended peacefully.
Yes, then his own “brothers” in faith tried to destroy him for it to the point where he had to backtrack and make excuses for why he said what he said.
@Denzil Pillay Maybe he deluded himself into believing in it again. Fear can do that to even the most intelligent of people. It’s a very powerful tool.
For most Muslims , a " Muslim " scholar of Islam is the one who researches Islam in order to find innovative, " original " arguments to defend and justify Islamic beliefs , But if, as a result of his/her ( it is mostly his) research , the " scholar of Islam " openly expresses his/ her opinion that Islamic beliefs ( wholly or in parts) cannot be defended or justified , then he/ she may not be any longer seen as a " scholar of Islam" , in the view of most Muslims ! A delicate balancing act has to be done by Muslim " scholars of Islam " to stay in the business !
I was listening to an ex-sheikh who left islam. He said that he was only allowed access to certain important texts about islam at a very advanced stage of his education. Once he started reading that material, he was shocked to realise just how evil islam really is. He then realised that the entire curriculum of islamic education has been sanitised to remove the bad bits. It is just one big lie.
I can understand it. One way, the scholar makes money, has a career and so on. On the other way, you lose that and your life is threatened. Fear belongs to Islam.
Islamaphobia is one of the many cards that muslims will throw at you. Other cards are the Victim card, the Perfect Preservation card, the Arabic card etc....
If you start to learn anything about is-lame, you can rip those cards to share ads. You just have to stand firm because the muslims have had it literally beaten into them that it’s true.
one of my Muslim friend's daughter asked him a question "Does really sun sets in muddy pond ?". He took 4 days to gather courage and answered her - NO.

Islamic Studies departments in Western universities are reluctant to speak out as well, since these department are increasingly dependent on funding from rich muslim states like Saudi and the Gulf emirates.
I don't know how true that is... Most research as far as I know is funded by the government, science research can be funded by grants from the private sector. However, actual research is rarely know by the public, it stays in academic journals and technical books that few read.
To adapt the old Scottish song - "Before I die I'll make this declaration. We are bought and sold for Arab gold, such a parcel of rogues in the nations."
@@theastronomer5800 you nailed it. In fact most of academia is these wishy washy Muslims, exmuslims or never Muslims. The idea that the funding of the gulf perpetuates a certain narrative in western academia is simply not true. The reality is many Muslims actually leave Islam after studying these impartial or less biased information for the first time. It's not only Yasir qadhi, I personally know of a few Muslims who left islam or had their faith shaken by learning this stuff. How exactly would that be in the best interest of gulf nations? 🤔
More like religious leaders and 'scholars's "Islam" dies. The truth is clear and has been preached by Rashad kahlifa, a true submitter to God. Guess what happened? They sent him death threats and killed him. Modern 'islam' in a nutshell.
Great video, I am glad we are having the conversation on this. At the end of the day, the nature of academia to dissect, unpack and scrutinize even the most banal components of what it is asked to analyze, eventually leads to asking damming questions. Time and time again, what all scientists took for granted, has been upended and re-examined by newfound evidence (evidence which can then be replicated). Qadhi knows there are issues, and instead of tearing the band-aid off, he has been trying to take small steps to not step on the fragility that many Muslims feel in their belief (their uncertainty often comes across in a hyper-sensitivity to criticism). We must speak on this, and move the dialogue. Thank you to the brave Ex-Muslims for taking steps to move us all forward.
They also still genuinely believe in Islam, imo. Some of my friends that have at least master degree in STEM cherry pick which scientific facts they want to believe. For example, they believe in the evolution of dinosaurs, but not human, they still think Adam is the first modern human that came down from heaven. Also when asked if past rasuls were very tall or about Noah's Ark, how come archeologists don't find the proofs now? The answer is always "wallahu alam bishshawab (only Allah knows)". Always rolled my eyes after hearing that phrase...
nothing can be more true...but they know ur religion more than u do...so there is a 50-50% chance that what ever devilish thing ur scholar is saying might be actually written in ur so called holy scriptures
That won't be the whole point... They are scared for their lives too.. Family lives included too... And the threat is real because it is commanded by the teachings... Again, those who are able to kill for the religion believe that each have 72 virgins waiting for them in an afterlife... The belief is strong and motivating... Brain programming for u.
Hard times are coming for islam. Holes in the narrative is reductive. We have enough material to demonstrate that the islamic muhammad is exegetical. Academia is progressing like never before. Soon Muslims will have to defend the existance of their own prophet.
Oh there are Muslims like the RUclipsr the Skeptic Muslim who make so called ethical arguments for slavery etc. But they will resort to lying and other cunning tactics when it comes to the Quran has holes in its narrative.
Yasir Qhadi would never leave Islam, he left his career as a chemist for Islam where he would’ve made more money. There isn’t anything about Islam he can learn from the west that he didn’t know studying in Medina..
I'd like to also add that this is also the reason why you will find many strong arguments for Islam developed over the last 1400 years, because they're made by academics who are also Islamic Scholars because they're positively accepted by the public with support in numbers as well as money and a career in Islamic matters. But the moment an apostate speaks up against Islam and starts to give strong arguments against Islam, they're completely silenced and all their achievements are completely discarded, they're humiliated and shunned away from their society. Why would they lose their whole life and speak against Islam?
Abdullah has such a beautiful beard, its very thick and projects wisdom. It reminds me of the beards by saints as painted found in Eastern Orthodox icons, you can make out the curls and waves. Love it.
@Deez Nutz Actually its not. Its the actual followers of pervert pedo Mo-Lester that have pubes on their face, they cant even grow a proper beard. Abdullah can because he's an atheist and not a pedo follower.
Who could blame these scholars. Would you go to school to have a Phd for a living career in islam and would you take the risk to jeopardize that by ending the only career you know and destroy your livelihood?
All three main sisters religions have faults and errors in certain aspects. The main problem with Islam is the fact when errors come to the surface like the different version of the Quran that most Muslim scholars been knowing about for almost eight hundred years, they pretend the Quran never had been altered like the Christian New Testament. For Christians and Jews this isn’t a big problem. But to prove that the Quran has errors to a Muslim means the Religion would be false. So as the point has already been pointed out, it’s just easier to keep the lies in place because to reform the whole Religion and rework the Quran would loose supporters of the faith and it’s place in the world Religions. “But who knows!?” Maybe in a future pretense the Religion and the people that support it will make the choice to update it practices and reform the Quran itself. Because let’s face it, even the Torah support slavery and yet no Jewish person still keep those out dated practices in place. The verses are still in the Old Testament but are omitted from current use or disregarded.
Just come across your channel! More apostates! this makes me happy! congrats on your channel and you leaving the ridiculous ideology of hate and evil! WELL DONE!!!! will subscribe!
In several Suras the Qur'an confuses Mary the mother of Jesus [Miriam in Hebrew] with Miriam the sister of Aaron and Moses, and daughter of Amram which is about 1400 years off. At length she brought (the babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms), They said: "O Mary! Truly a strange thing has thou brought! "O sister of Aaron, thy father was not a man of evil, nor your mother a woman unchaste!" -- Sura 19:27-28 And Mary, the daughter of `Imran, ... -- Sura 66:12 I am aware what Muslims claim to be a solution to this problem. Yusuf Ali for example writes in his footnote 2481 commenting on the above verse: "Aaron the brother of Moses was the first in the line of Israelite priesthood. Mary and her cousin Elisabeth (mother of Yahya) came from a priestly family, and were therefore, 'sisters of Aaron' or daughter of `Imran (who was Aaron's father)." This is faulty reasoning. Only Aaron became a Priest of the Lord and in fact the first High Priest. And only Aaron's descendents became priests. Neither Moses nor their sister Miriam are ever understood to be in "priestly lineage." Amram is definitely not a priest. If Mary's lineage of being part of a priestly family should be stressed then necessarily she would have to be called a daughter of Aaron, since all of Israel's priests are descendants of Aaron, while his brother and sister are not counted among the priestly line. I do agree that "father", "daughter" and "sister" might be used sometimes rather losely and only indicate a "general family relationship." Therefore we have to carefully read in each mentioning to see what is meant. And the Qur'an makes clear that the narrow, physical meaning of daughter and (hence) sister is meant in this case as I will demonstrate below. Even if there were no concern about the issue of "priestly" but only such a wider family relationship was in view, why does the Qur'an not say "daughter of Aaron" who is her most famous forefather? Even though "sister" might be used in a wider meaning than a sister within the same immediate family, isn't it the use even in Islam that "brothers and sisters" live on roughly the same generational level (like cousins) while "father and daughter" signifies a generational difference between the two persons compared? Why are the wives of Muhammad not called the "sisters of the believers" but "the mothers of the believers"? [Today's believers! - Aisha certainly was not called the mother of 'Uthman, Umar, Abu Bakr and the other believers of Muhammad's life time.] For what reason call her sister of the famous Aaron (being 1400 years older than Mary) but daughter of `Imran (Bible: Amram) of whom we know nothing at all apart from the fact that his name is mentioned in the genealogical tables in Exodus 6 and 1 Chronicles 23? This is perfectly clear if the two Miriams were indeed confused. But the attempts of harmonization don't really sound very logical. The above points are just some "minor questions". The big problem is that the Qur'an is explicitely not talking about wider clan relationships as we see in the following verse. Behold! wife of `Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service ... When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!" ... "... I have named her Mary ..." -- Sura 3:35-36 Muslims are usually very particular about whose wife a woman is and it is definitely not allowed that just anybody can have sex with a woman only because he is a "wider relative of hers." If Mary is the female child that came out of the womb of the wife of `Imran, then she is the direct daughter of `Imran and there is no question that the theory of "far descendency" is contradicted by the Qur'an itself. Yusuf Ali in his footnote 375 to Sura 3:35 even goes so far to invent (?) a second `Imran by claiming that "by tradition Mary's mother was called Hannah ... and her father was called `Imran," in order to somehow save the Qur'an from this contradiction. But the same tradition that calls Mary's mother Hanna, also gives the name of her husband as Joachim. Why would Y. Ali accept one part of this tradition (e.g. in the Proto-Evangelion of James the Lesser) and reject the other? Yusuf Ali does not give any reference for this "tradition" he refers to. Until I see any reference to that, there is no reason to accept this theory. As to my current knowledge there is no such tradition that predates Muhammad. Some Muslim commentators might have made something up later to explain this very problem, but such a late theory / "tradition" is not very credible. And a last question: Is there any other instance in the Qur'an where a person is consistently called daughter [son] or sister [brother] of people which are only wider relatives? Even if there was to be one name in the clan so overpowering that everybody is named in his or her relationship to that one person, it is doubly improbable that anybody would be named always after two distant relatives in the place of "father" and "brother", and never be mentioned in relationship to his or her real parents' or brothers' names. If this is the only instant then the Muslim explanation is even more strained since ad hoc explanations, i.e. explanations which serve no other purpose than to explain away this one problem but are not used anywhere else are not very credible. It does appear to be such an artificial reasoning in this case. And the fact that Aaron is indeed `Imran's son and this is a direct and correct genealogical relationship, also indicates that the rest is understood as daughter and sister in the normal everyday sense. Thomas Patrick Hughes in his "Dictionary of Islam", page 328, writes on this issue that "it is certainly a cause of some perplexity to the commentators. Al-Baidawi says she was called `sister of Aaron' because she was of Levitical race; but Husain says that the Aaron mentioned in the verse is not the same person as the brother of Moses." As always, conflicting explanations are evidence that there is indeed a problem and no one clear and satisfactory solution is available. Note: Moses and Aaron are called "Musa ibn `Imran" and "Harun ibn `Imran" in the Hadiths, just the same way as Mary is called "Maryam ibnat `Imran" in Sura 66:12. Further detailed discussion of this issue is found in Silas' article, Is Mary the Sister of Aaron? Sam Shamoun's article, Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Sister of Aaron provides further quotations from Muslim sources that shed more light on the issue.
They won’t even question the compulsory nature of the daily prayers and fasting in Ramadan. Doesn’t it make more sense for these things to be optional so that Muslims are more sincere when they do them? What good does making these rituals compulsory do for the world or humanity? Surely some these guys are intelligent enough to see this.
It's like when you make a mistake on a pocket calculator, and you hit the Clear button 6 times.."Yes. I'm you calculator...I heard you the first time." Or knocking on wood when things have been going your way for a while. Pure undiluted superstition.
Back when I was a Catholic Christian I felt the same way about prayer. I have family members who just repeat the same exact long prayer every day. Doesn’t feel sincere at all and I didn’t feel like I was being honest with myself when I was doing it as a Catholic.
@Aarchery Nikz I think most people here in the west are not that scared about allahs people comming after you, but since they are a minority, you will get cancelled, labelled as a biggot or racist even for just quoting verses in the Quran or hadiths, or pointing out the obvious things we are dealing with.
There are so many amazing books written by Western scholars on early Islam and the Quran, which are never read, studied or talked about by the Muslims. For those interested in history (and holes in the narrative...), check out the books for Puin and Ohlig for example.
@@haruspex1-50 I mentioned Puin and Ohlig. Two of their (German) books have been translated into English "Early Islam: A Critical Reconstruction Based on Contemporary Sources" and "The Hidden Origins of Islam: New Research into Its Early History". These deal with various aspect, from epigraphy, early coins, to manuscripts. An excellent book that goes though the entire Quran and shows where the stories originate from is "The Quran and the Bible" by Reynolds. "Islam In Light of History" by Amari is a fascinating read. Although not an academic in the field in the sense that he is not a researcher at a university, it's an extensive study (and well referenced) of the archaeological evidence of pre-Islamic Arabia. I would start with these books. Other are on more specific topics such as textual criticism. Durie's book "The Quran and its Biblical Reflexes" is quite interesting as it shows how non-Arabic words were adopted into the "clear Arabic" Quran...
They cannot apostatise publicly ultimately because of either: 1) c@pit@l punishment 2) alienation from community/family 3) loss of income due to dawah being their only marketable skill being flushed down the drain
*Well, Yasser Khadi doesn't actually speak against Islam,* he just can't help himself, he wants to appear as an honest scholar but, the problem with honesty is that "The Standard narrative has holes in it". and his head would certainly roll if he keeps talking about those holes. 🙈🙉🙊
This is true. For some strange reasons the govts and academia protects Islam. If you say anything even reasonably you may loose job. Not to say your life might be on risk from islamists.

Hey guys checking back in after 2 years. It seems islam is way stronger than everyone in the comments anticipated. Most major masjids are having a hard time keeping up with the converts.
Fearing or objecting to the critical analysis of any claim is an indication of the weakness of the claim, in science critical analysis is the very tool that affirms and strengthens a claim and is demanded by the person making the claim.
Muslims frequently ask: "Show me one verse in the Bible where Jesus says: I am God worship Me!" Easy one. The Jews wanted to stone Jesus because: "You claim to be God!!!". John 10:33. So... apparantly... Jesus claimed He is God in human form. Oops. Furthermore! Thomas at some point gets the revelation Jesus is God and cries out to Him: "My Lord and my God!" That is worship!!! Jesus never corrected Thomas by saying: "Don't you worship Me, I am just a prophet". So worship God as on full display in Christ. Just like Thomas. And.... there is a lot more to it! Through Christ, God gave us back the divine life mankind lost in its fall. Hence the divine healing miracles and casting out of demons, we experience up to this day. To not see God in Christ.... is impossible. "The Father and I are one!" "If you see Me, you see the Father!" "Don't you believe that the Father is IN Me?" "ALL (!) AUTHORITY in heaven and earth has been given to Me!". (Only God has all authority). At healing the paralytic: "Your sins have been forgiven you!" (Only God can forgive sins). "I am THE (not a) light of the world"......: God. "I have come to give you Zoë (=divine life) in abundance".... Only God can give Zoë life. "I am from above, you are from beneath. You are from this world, I am not from this world"..... Etc, etc, etc, When He explained these things, healed the sick, casted out demons, raised the dead, controlled nature for 3 years, they all worshipped Him as God/Messiah.... except for the critical scholars and farisees! So Jesus is God manifesting in Human form. Period. Glad He did. So now we finally know the sayings and actions of God. Next step. To not see Jesus bringing the divine life of the ages back to you-manity.... is impossible. "I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, etc, etc" "Follow Me, the miracles I do, you will do too" "God is IN you" "The Kingdom of God is IN you" "He who meets you, meets Me". "You and I are one" "You will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am in you" "See, I have given you power over all the forces of the enemy" "I have come to give you Zoë (=divine life) in abundance!" Etc, etc, etc. Hence the divine healing miracles and casting out of demons with His first 12+72 friends. As i understood these things, i experienced healing miracles and the casting out of demons already thousands of times and many other true believers do too. Yay! Conclusion of Paul after having revelation and healing all on Malta: "Jesus, the exact image of the invisible God. The fullness of deity dwells in Jesus bodily" and you have been made complete IN Him (the last Adam), who is the head of every principality and power". John (who had seen, touched, heard Jesus and walked in the same power and love): "the invisible God manifested in human form, in Christ and now in us". Peter in whoms shadow the sick got healed wrote: "By God's power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man". Etc, etc, etc. His life totally proves He is God in human form. Begotten by the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God, healing all, raising the dead, casting out demons, controlling nature, raised from the dead, pouring out His Spirit for us to be indwelled by to be empowered to heal the sick and cast out demons, etc, etc, etc. Way to much to degrade Him to "just a prophet". So... Jesus is the manifestation of God in a human body.... "the Son" of God. He came to take the alienation away mankind got trapped in after the fall. He came to give us back the divine life Adam/mankind lost in its fall. Because of this fall, a perfect Holy sacrifice had to be made. That is what God did in Christ! It shows His deep, pure, affectionate passion from Him to you/His creation, to restore you back to origin: Christlikeness. Walking in divine power and unselfish divine love. Jesus walked flawless. Muhammed on the other hand.... Muhammed came after Jesus. He unfortunately never understood God's resolve for mankind's fall, wrote another story, called it the only truth, cutting of the real truth, leading millions astray from their godly identity in Christ. Heartbreaking. But for those who take Jesus for who He is and ask to be filled by His godly Holy Spirit.....: divine life. Tangible presence of God, healings, demons running for cover, etc. Just as with His first 12+72 friends. God will make you experience the full (godly) Life made possible through Holy Spirit. So don't be afraid to leave islam. God can only be found in/through Jesus Christ. Ask Him to fill you with His/God's Holy Spirit so He can guide you into truth and transform your life. You and God/Jesus are finally one again. He will open your eyes and give you Zoë (divine life). You will be growing into Him in all things. The life you see in Him and His first 12+72 friends. I experience it since 25 years and so will you.
Yesterday, there was that guy who said to ask the Islamic scholars rather than just an ex Muslim. Of course the academics who left Islam after study would not be included in this suggestion so it’s a loaded situation.
Another thing about being religious to the letter....when they make a 100 ohm resistor for a circuit, they don't make it exactly 100 ohms because such a resistor cannot be made. Instead they specify a tolerance--a range of allowable values that will still do the job, and make the resistor be within the tolerance. A 5% tolerance 100 ohm resistor can be from 95 ohms to 104 ohms and still be within tolerance and be counted as a good resistor. Ask yourself when you find yourself burning needless calories trying to be exactly by the book with a religion..."Are these rules from God" or "Are these rules made by a man?"

If you fight against your own religion, it is only natural that you face anger. I as a Muslim, would definitely feel angry and sad when that happens... Because Islam is the closest to our hearts, and you by defecting against the religion, you are tearing apart all the connections between you, islam, and our hearts. This is a religion that we defend, so if anyone, even an Ex Muslim starts to become an enemy to our religion, we would fight back. And if we can't, then we will talk about it, and if we can't, we will just pray for him/her.
Islam is a flaw, fraud, idollogy and you know it! I find many Muslim, as a ex myself, do have doubts yet rarely question the relgion and its practices. I find Muslims rather live in denial as it is easier to remain iggorant and ignore the evidence to the mistakes, hate, nonsense that exist throughout the Quran(s) and Hadiths. Not only is it easier to remain iggorant, it is also mentally and physically safer simply not to doubt, question, leave or be critical of Islam as it usually comes with social stigma and hate within Muslims communities esp. to those who openly do doubt, question, leave or are critical of this relgion. Defence by so-called 'apologists' are mostly defended with manipulation, various different answers from different defenders and ofcourse the very blatant lies and threats that come along with it! In a way it's shocking how the ideas, rules, practices and thinking of creating a 'Ideology' fits perfectly within Islam!

The misconception that pious Muslims can't be academics... A couple of years ago this may have actually been believable.

i think, the main problem of common muslims and including most of their Quranic scholars, are too much "legalistic," (fiqh oriented), as if ayatollah (god guidance) is only one: al Quran (holy scripture). factually, God him self, in very first revelation to Muhammad, is not asking Muhammad to study (iqra) the holy Quran (cos the kitab doesn't exist at that day), instead He command Muhammad to study (iqra) other ayatullah, we called as ayat Kauniyah (universe and all of His Creations in it). That why in serious and encyclopedic Islamic traditional school, we always taught that beside al Quran, there is another god guidance (ayatullah) called ayat kauniyah (the universe and all god creation in it). and for qur'anic scholars, we also know --from al Quran it self, there are two others god guidance (ayatullah), that we as muslims should seek for God Guidances: called as ayat insaniyah (human being) and ayat tarikhiyyah (human history). if common muslims and it scholars, uses all 4 God Guidance in balanced ways, we will not always fall into legalistic point of view when we talking or examining Islam point of view about woman/feminism, politics, evolution, LGBTQ issues, democracy, secularism, separation between religion and state, on terrorism, etc. for me, if sociology, political science, statistics, history on the rise and fall of civilizations/countries (as interpreters of ayat kauniyah and ayat tarikhiyyah) comes to the conclusion that democracy with separation between religion and state, is the best political system in the world for advancement human civilizations, then all Muslims should choose democracy with separation between religion and state, as preferable political system to practice in all Muslims majority countries. also if expert on biology, doctors, psychiatry, etc (as interpreter of ayat kauniyah and ayat insaniyah) , said that beside man and woman (as gender), we also has intersex, hemaprodyte, woman with more testosterones, man with more X chromosome, etc, then all Muslims should choose to agree that god him self gave us guidance / ayat that beside man and woman as gender, there also another genders/pronouns that we should cherish, protect, and respect (cos if we don't respect others God Creations, are similarly with we don't respect our God as their Creator). if we stubborn, only picks, one ayatullah, we called al Quran (holy scripture/ayat Qauliyah), as the one and only god guidance to follow, then muslims and it scholars, will always fall upon into legalistic point of view (fiqh oriented) when we examining what is islamic point view on everything under the sky. wahabbiyah, isis, al Qaida, etc are trapped in this narrow point of view about Islam and its believe. of course, for responsible and encyclopedic islamic teaching, all those narrow point views on Islam are wrong (at least incomplete), misguided, and disrespecting God. umar bin khattab, as on of few sahabah (closed friend of Prophet), several times choose to disregarding some textual issues stated clearly in al Quran, and pick other decision after he choose as Muhammad successor, as leader (khalifah/amir), if there are more fairer and more justice way (socially) on making decision as Amir/Leader, rather than choose from what already state very clear in al Quran. he always choose more fairer and more justice decisions, even others sahabah question his decision. and as we know it, umar bin khattab is one of several sahabah (closed friend of Prophet) that guaranteed (informed) by the Prophet that he is going to heaven. his way of leadership decision, was a hard evidence that the closest friend to Muhammad, also not only consider holy scripture (ayat Qauliyah), but also social aspect, fairness, and justice (ayat kauniyah), when he making decision as a leader. nobody in umar bin khattab time, dare to called umar bin khattab as heretic/bid'ah, kuffar, or infidel. but in modern era, several of loud muslims, loud muslim scholars, and most of jihadist will immediately call us heretic/bid'ah, kuffar, or infidel if we also uses 3 other God Guidance's beside ayat Qauliyah, when we speak, analyze, examining islamic point of view on everything under the sun. how strange is it, if we following completes God Guidance's, then be called as infidel, kuffar, or bid'ah. legalistic approach (fiqh oriented) on Islam has bad impact on advancement of Islamic civilization, and has backward effect on development of its peoples: the Muslims. but yes, in Islamic jurisprudence (ushul fiqh), we also has similar concept with Umar way, but unfortunately has more narrowed approach and clearly far from sufficient to be implemented in modern era, we call them: maslahah mursalah (public good principle) and maqashid syariah (ratio legal over legal specific). if muslims also incorporate social science, biology, technology, history, political science, psychology, etc (as part of rightful interpreter all of God Guidancs/ayatullah), many problem we faced today in many part of Muslim countries, will be addressed in responsible way. Muhammad him self, in his own word (Hadits Bukhari Collection no 6015), said: muslims should follow person with specific expertise on handling matter, so let political scientist handle political matter, health matter should handle by doctors, etc. do not let everything under authority of quranic expert. in general, muslim should treat expert on other ayatullah (scientist as rightful interpreter whole universe and all of His Creations in it, as rightful interpreter human being behavior and it history) equal to expert on holy scripture (al quran). Furthermore, on all wide range of social issues, every new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist, should supersede (abrogate) any old interpretation from holy scripture, cos all of new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist, are also rightful interpreter of God Guidance (ayatullah). falling to do so, should be interpreted as a disqualified argument/opinion. Many argument/opinion base on fiqh (islamic legal specific), kalam (theology) and falsafah (philosophy), factually in most areas are quite obsolete for addressing social, economic, and political problem in modern era, cos most of them are derived only from ayat Qauliyah (Quranic centric), which is an incomplete way to sorting our problem in modern era. Most of old argument/opinion already supersede/abrogated by new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist. Muslims should back to the complete of God Guidance in balance way on solving problem in Muslims world, not only using holy scripture as final say. and stop kuffar/infidel calling game, cos that game from a complete, genuine, and responsible interpretation of 4 God Guidances, is simply un islamic. and, as an open end conclusion, there is a deeper question: why common muslims and its scholars dare to disregarding 3 other God Guidance's? why muslims and its scholars become legalistic (only focus on 1 ayatullah / 1 God Gudance (ayat Qauliyah) called alquran, as if salvation of a civilization fate can be and must be depend on 1 cause only? as brief answer is: corruption and abuse of power by people in high power, it cronies, and big business that closed to muslim countries rulers at that time. all of them, almost single handedly creates and propagate common muslims and its scholars into disregarding 3 other God Guidance's. peoples in power, it cronies, and big business that closed to muslim countries rulers push and push relentlessly to narrow interpretation on morals and public interest thru perverted interpretation on the holy scripture. even, they dare to appoint unqualified islamic scholar as qadi for them to uses as fatwa producers in favors to their vested interest. since then, islamic civilization goes down spiral into inevitable decline from it's greatness. many fatwa produced in their regime will makes serious, genuine, and responsible islamic scholar scratching their head and shocked. fatwa on mihnah policy, on banning printing technology, banning radio, tv, google, youtube, etc, are among of perverted interpretation on holy scripture. it lead to tradition/repetition/reinforcement on using narrow interpretation islamic law for beating and punishing dissent and discontent on social injustice in islamic society. furthermore, it lead islamic society to become close minded, anti science, and trapped in textual approach tradition on just 1 god guidance called al quran (ayat Qauliyah) only, with narrow and more narrow interpretation. common muslim today and it scholar today are the real victims of bad fatwa born from dark alliance between high power, it cronies, big business that closed to muslim rulers before them. lets wake them up, by spreading the real genuine of God Guidance's and it's rightful interpreters that we called: sciences. amen.

Why doesn’t Hijab interview these academics instead trying to look good to Jordan Peterson. Because he knows people who expertise in the field will expose him as a fraud after all the claims he made.
Thank you, that is what I'm thinking about academia who is dealing with Islam! It is even true of the Western Islam scholars towards the western public. There is going on a great hiding of facts among them. There are a few exceptions, but they are blackmailed for not behaving scholarly.
Their head may not be on the shoulder or get punched, excommunication and more..Money and fame is another reason.. they may not have a lavish income after that. it is all business, people pay for spreading religion once they tell the truth that stops.
It's funny how if a Muslim is honest about what he knows and doesn't it is characterized that he is not honest enough to leave Islam. Now if I get the names of those who are academics and present them hear all what would be said is .... They are not brave enough to denounce Islam and that they are benefiting from it. But if that same accusation is said about ex-Muslims then we are conducting as hominem. If I say this guy is making a show and getting funded then it is an attack on him. I love the contradiction. It is always easy to corner your opponent and claim victory by allowing yourself what you deny others.
Professional crooks create 'imaginary characters' and 'force sell' them at exorbitant price through business of 'organised crime' by 'multi level marketing' strategy to earn money and unbridled power, also make rules that the buyers must not use 'commonsense' to question their 'imaginary products' to save themselves from 'beheading' and this law is applicable to those also who do not buy their 'imaginary products' !

EXACTLY! The reason muslim scholars that know the truth about islam wont leave is because they make too much money, they're not going to leave because it's their livelihood
Also risk of death by religion of peace
@Mundy Sharke charlatans would be every where as ex Muslim scholars or pro Islam scholars, I think apart from money it the group of you have formed long life relation and personal emotions u have grown up with that also plays role in their decisions . Also The amount of death threats ex Muslim recieve vs pro Islam scholars . And the backlash they would get once they turn from pro to pointing mistakes with logic . The whole idea of Islam is servitude, if it was so easy for new ideas and controversial topics to flow and discuss in Islam , then most muslims would have already left
@Mundy Sharke they would be called Islamophobe plus they would lose all the respect and praise they receive from Muslim communities.
Im a normal lad not scholar or anything, but I used to be really religious I went to Hajj, the respect I received from my family and friends was massive, they don't smoke front of me, they don't curse front of me, and they would protect me by all means.
And that really hard to leave behind you specially if you are scholar, I left Islam and was really hard to tell everyone, imagine what would happen to a scholar psychy and lively hood if he say Islam is wrong.
@Mundy Sharke
Are you sure no one really cared when he became an ex Muslim?
Did he tell you that??
And can you compare him to Yasir Qadir, ans actual scholar??

Yasir Q was so honest with the ‘holes in the narrative’ drama, he probably surprised himself
Evidences kill Islam. When one meets a truth, it is hard to escape from it. You tell it before you think because it is in front of you. You need a lot of hard thinking to get away and it will hunt you for ever. Remember Cain, he killed Abel because he wanted his truth to prevail. Then he spent the rest of his life fleeing it. I don’t think he ended peacefully.
Yes, then his own “brothers” in faith tried to destroy him for it to the point where he had to backtrack and make excuses for why he said what he said.
@Denzil Pillay Maybe he deluded himself into believing in it again. Fear can do that to even the most intelligent of people. It’s a very powerful tool.
Haha
@Denzil Pillay if he knows Islam is false "deep down", why would he need to resort to taqiyya?
For most Muslims , a " Muslim " scholar of Islam is the one who researches Islam in order to find innovative, " original " arguments to defend and justify Islamic beliefs , But if, as a result of his/her ( it is mostly his) research , the " scholar of Islam " openly expresses his/ her opinion that Islamic beliefs ( wholly or in parts) cannot be defended or justified , then he/ she may not be any longer seen as a " scholar of Islam" , in the view of most Muslims ! A delicate balancing act has to be done by Muslim " scholars of Islam " to stay in the business !

Islamic Studies departments in Western universities are reluctant to speak out as well, since these department are increasingly dependent on funding from rich muslim states like Saudi and the Gulf emirates.

Great video, I am glad we are having the conversation on this. At the end of the day, the nature of academia to dissect, unpack and scrutinize even the most banal components of what it is asked to analyze, eventually leads to asking damming questions. Time and time again, what all scientists took for granted, has been upended and re-examined by newfound evidence (evidence which can then be replicated). Qadhi knows there are issues, and instead of tearing the band-aid off, he has been trying to take small steps to not step on the fragility that many Muslims feel in their belief (their uncertainty often comes across in a hyper-sensitivity to criticism). We must speak on this, and move the dialogue. Thank you to the brave Ex-Muslims for taking steps to move us all forward.
Great comment
They also still genuinely believe in Islam, imo. Some of my friends that have at least master degree in STEM cherry pick which scientific facts they want to believe. For example, they believe in the evolution of dinosaurs, but not human, they still think Adam is the first modern human that came down from heaven.
Also when asked if past rasuls were very tall or about Noah's Ark, how come archeologists don't find the proofs now? The answer is always "wallahu alam bishshawab (only Allah knows)". Always rolled my eyes after hearing that phrase...
Trust me .Don't trust any scholar from whatever religion on earth.Scholarly views are mostly ambiguous and hardly offer practical solutions
nothing can be more true...but they know ur religion more than u do...so there is a 50-50% chance that what ever devilish thing ur scholar is saying might be actually written in ur so called holy scriptures
They can't renounce islam. They can't let go the fame, the following and the finance.
They may still fear their childhood brainwashing about doubting Islam sends you to hellfire 🔥. So there’s that.
I must protest, we islamic scholars don't lie, we merely select the facts, manipulate the truth & reinterpret the text. But we NEVER lie.

I'd like to also add that this is also the reason why you will find many strong arguments for Islam developed over the last 1400 years, because they're made by academics who are also Islamic Scholars because they're positively accepted by the public with support in numbers as well as money and a career in Islamic matters. But the moment an apostate speaks up against Islam and starts to give strong arguments against Islam, they're completely silenced and all their achievements are completely discarded, they're humiliated and shunned away from their society. Why would they lose their whole life and speak against Islam?

All three main sisters religions have faults and errors in certain aspects. The main problem with Islam is the fact when errors come to the surface like the different version of the Quran that most Muslim scholars been knowing about for almost eight hundred years, they pretend the Quran never had been altered like the Christian New Testament. For Christians and Jews this isn’t a big problem. But to prove that the Quran has errors to a Muslim means the Religion would be false. So as the point has already been pointed out, it’s just easier to keep the lies in place because to reform the whole Religion and rework the Quran would loose supporters of the faith and it’s place in the world Religions. “But who knows!?” Maybe in a future pretense the Religion and the people that support it will make the choice to update it practices and reform the Quran itself. Because let’s face it, even the Torah support slavery and yet no Jewish person still keep those out dated practices in place. The verses are still in the Old Testament but are omitted from current use or disregarded.

The Golden Rule!
In several Suras the Qur'an confuses Mary the mother of Jesus [Miriam in Hebrew] with Miriam the sister of Aaron and Moses, and daughter of Amram which is about 1400 years off.
At length she brought (the babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms), They said: "O Mary! Truly a strange thing has thou brought! "O sister of Aaron, thy father was not a man of evil, nor your mother a woman unchaste!"
-- Sura 19:27-28
And Mary, the daughter of `Imran, ...
-- Sura 66:12
I am aware what Muslims claim to be a solution to this problem. Yusuf Ali for example writes in his footnote 2481 commenting on the above verse: "Aaron the brother of Moses was the first in the line of Israelite priesthood. Mary and her cousin Elisabeth (mother of Yahya) came from a priestly family, and were therefore, 'sisters of Aaron' or daughter of `Imran (who was Aaron's father)."
This is faulty reasoning. Only Aaron became a Priest of the Lord and in fact the first High Priest. And only Aaron's descendents became priests. Neither Moses nor their sister Miriam are ever understood to be in "priestly lineage." Amram is definitely not a priest. If Mary's lineage of being part of a priestly family should be stressed then necessarily she would have to be called a daughter of Aaron, since all of Israel's priests are descendants of Aaron, while his brother and sister are not counted among the priestly line.
I do agree that "father", "daughter" and "sister" might be used sometimes rather losely and only indicate a "general family relationship." Therefore we have to carefully read in each mentioning to see what is meant. And the Qur'an makes clear that the narrow, physical meaning of daughter and (hence) sister is meant in this case as I will demonstrate below. Even if there were no concern about the issue of "priestly" but only such a wider family relationship was in view, why does the Qur'an not say "daughter of Aaron" who is her most famous forefather? Even though "sister" might be used in a wider meaning than a sister within the same immediate family, isn't it the use even in Islam that "brothers and sisters" live on roughly the same generational level (like cousins) while "father and daughter" signifies a generational difference between the two persons compared? Why are the wives of Muhammad not called the "sisters of the believers" but "the mothers of the believers"? [Today's believers! - Aisha certainly was not called the mother of 'Uthman, Umar, Abu Bakr and the other believers of Muhammad's life time.] For what reason call her sister of the famous Aaron (being 1400 years older than Mary) but daughter of `Imran (Bible: Amram) of whom we know nothing at all apart from the fact that his name is mentioned in the genealogical tables in Exodus 6 and 1 Chronicles 23? This is perfectly clear if the two Miriams were indeed confused. But the attempts of harmonization don't really sound very logical.
The above points are just some "minor questions". The big problem is that the Qur'an is explicitely not talking about wider clan relationships as we see in the following verse.
Behold! wife of `Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service ... When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!" ... "... I have named her Mary ..."
-- Sura 3:35-36
Muslims are usually very particular about whose wife a woman is and it is definitely not allowed that just anybody can have sex with a woman only because he is a "wider relative of hers." If Mary is the female child that came out of the womb of the wife of `Imran, then she is the direct daughter of `Imran and there is no question that the theory of "far descendency" is contradicted by the Qur'an itself.
Yusuf Ali in his footnote 375 to Sura 3:35 even goes so far to invent (?) a second `Imran by claiming that "by tradition Mary's mother was called Hannah ... and her father was called `Imran," in order to somehow save the Qur'an from this contradiction. But the same tradition that calls Mary's mother Hanna, also gives the name of her husband as Joachim. Why would Y. Ali accept one part of this tradition (e.g. in the Proto-Evangelion of James the Lesser) and reject the other? Yusuf Ali does not give any reference for this "tradition" he refers to. Until I see any reference to that, there is no reason to accept this theory. As to my current knowledge there is no such tradition that predates Muhammad. Some Muslim commentators might have made something up later to explain this very problem, but such a late theory / "tradition" is not very credible.
And a last question: Is there any other instance in the Qur'an where a person is consistently called daughter [son] or sister [brother] of people which are only wider relatives? Even if there was to be one name in the clan so overpowering that everybody is named in his or her relationship to that one person, it is doubly improbable that anybody would be named always after two distant relatives in the place of "father" and "brother", and never be mentioned in relationship to his or her real parents' or brothers' names. If this is the only instant then the Muslim explanation is even more strained since ad hoc explanations, i.e. explanations which serve no other purpose than to explain away this one problem but are not used anywhere else are not very credible. It does appear to be such an artificial reasoning in this case. And the fact that Aaron is indeed `Imran's son and this is a direct and correct genealogical relationship, also indicates that the rest is understood as daughter and sister in the normal everyday sense.
Thomas Patrick Hughes in his "Dictionary of Islam", page 328, writes on this issue that "it is certainly a cause of some perplexity to the commentators. Al-Baidawi says she was called `sister of Aaron' because she was of Levitical race; but Husain says that the Aaron mentioned in the verse is not the same person as the brother of Moses."
As always, conflicting explanations are evidence that there is indeed a problem and no one clear and satisfactory solution is available.
Note: Moses and Aaron are called "Musa ibn `Imran" and "Harun ibn `Imran" in the Hadiths, just the same way as Mary is called "Maryam ibnat `Imran" in Sura 66:12.
Further detailed discussion of this issue is found in Silas' article, Is Mary the Sister of Aaron? Sam Shamoun's article, Mary, the Mother of Jesus and Sister of Aaron provides further quotations from Muslim sources that shed more light on the issue.
GOOD JOB ABDULLAH! 😀
You are a very brave person. 🇱🇧🇱🇧🌲🇱🇧🇱🇧
Hello fellow Lebanese.
They won’t even question the compulsory nature of the daily prayers and fasting in Ramadan. Doesn’t it make more sense for these things to be optional so that Muslims are more sincere when they do them? What good does making these rituals compulsory do for the world or humanity? Surely some these guys are intelligent enough to see this.
It's like when you make a mistake on a pocket calculator, and you hit the Clear button 6 times.."Yes. I'm you calculator...I heard you the first time." Or knocking on wood when things have been going your way for a while. Pure undiluted superstition.
Back when I was a Catholic Christian I felt the same way about prayer. I have family members who just repeat the same exact long prayer every day. Doesn’t feel sincere at all and I didn’t feel like I was being honest with myself when I was doing it as a Catholic.
It is not about you, or humanity. It is about appeasing this fantasy being so he doesnt torture you for all eternity

There are so many amazing books written by Western scholars on early Islam and the Quran, which are never read, studied or talked about by the Muslims. For those interested in history (and holes in the narrative...), check out the books for Puin and Ohlig for example.
What are the names of the books
@@haruspex1-50 I mentioned Puin and Ohlig. Two of their (German) books have been translated into English "Early Islam: A Critical Reconstruction Based on Contemporary Sources" and "The Hidden Origins of Islam: New Research into Its Early History". These deal with various aspect, from epigraphy, early coins, to manuscripts.
An excellent book that goes though the entire Quran and shows where the stories originate from is "The Quran and the Bible" by Reynolds.
"Islam In Light of History" by Amari is a fascinating read. Although not an academic in the field in the sense that he is not a researcher at a university, it's an extensive study (and well referenced) of the archaeological evidence of pre-Islamic Arabia.
I would start with these books. Other are on more specific topics such as textual criticism. Durie's book "The Quran and its Biblical Reflexes" is quite interesting as it shows how non-Arabic words were adopted into the "clear Arabic" Quran...
Good job👍🏻!
They cannot apostatise publicly ultimately because of either:
1) c@pit@l punishment
2) alienation from community/family
3) loss of income due to dawah being their only marketable skill being flushed down the drain
For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity
When you join a church and the cleric says that "You've Been Saved..." That means you have been saved, from critical thought.
Wow aren't you clever
Sorry..............Protestant church do that.
CATHOLIC CHURCH does NOT do that.
😅😂😏
*Well, Yasser Khadi doesn't actually speak against Islam,* he just can't help himself, he wants to appear as an honest scholar but, the problem with honesty is that "The Standard narrative has holes in it". and his head would certainly roll if he keeps talking about those holes. 🙈🙉🙊
"The Standard narrative has a**holes in it". (lol)
Very nice clip.to begin discussing these issues with.
This is a very shrewd and astute observation.
God bless you, Abdullah!
This is true. For some strange reasons the govts and academia protects Islam. If you say anything even reasonably you may loose job. Not to say your life might be on risk from islamists.
Cool stuff!
I don't mind you criticizing islam but what I do mind is the false pagan trinity and I don't think you have to be a muslim to believe that why not be a unitarian christian (biblical) and still think islam is false
@@theguyver4934 I think both religions are false.
@@ussinussinongawd516 - Why ?
This is similar in Christianity. Academic study of the Bible and Christian tradition leads to doubts. I know this from personal experience.
How can it be similar to Christianity?
Christianity welcomes honest debate without fear of reprisals unlike Islam.
Abdullah is smart
Abdullah, what is your opinion of MBS trying to create world class universities in Saudia Arabia? Do you think it is a pipe dream? Do you think they will ignore the hard questions about Islam?

“This thing doesn’t fit with this and that”, good explanation…Islam debunked 🤡
Hey guys checking back in after 2 years. It seems islam is way stronger than everyone in the comments anticipated. Most major masjids are having a hard time keeping up with the converts.
Fearing or objecting to the critical analysis of any claim is an indication of the weakness of the claim, in science critical analysis is the very tool that affirms and strengthens a claim and is demanded by the person making the claim.
Muslims frequently ask: "Show me one verse in the Bible where Jesus says: I am God worship Me!"
Easy one.
The Jews wanted to stone Jesus because: "You claim to be God!!!". John 10:33.
So... apparantly... Jesus claimed He is God in human form. Oops.
Furthermore! Thomas at some point gets the revelation Jesus is God and cries out to Him: "My Lord and my God!"
That is worship!!!
Jesus never corrected Thomas by saying: "Don't you worship Me, I am just a prophet".
So worship God as on full display in Christ. Just like Thomas.
And.... there is a lot more to it!
Through Christ, God gave us back the divine life mankind lost in its fall. Hence the divine healing miracles and casting out of demons, we experience up to this day.
To not see God in Christ.... is impossible.
"The Father and I are one!"
"If you see Me, you see the Father!"
"Don't you believe that the Father is IN Me?"
"ALL (!) AUTHORITY in heaven and earth has been given to Me!". (Only God has all authority).
At healing the paralytic: "Your sins have been forgiven you!" (Only God can forgive sins).
"I am THE (not a) light of the world"......: God.
"I have come to give you Zoë (=divine life) in abundance".... Only God can give Zoë life.
"I am from above, you are from beneath. You are from this world, I am not from this world".....
Etc, etc, etc,
When He explained these things, healed the sick, casted out demons, raised the dead, controlled nature for 3 years, they all worshipped Him as God/Messiah.... except for the critical scholars and farisees!
So Jesus is God manifesting in Human form. Period. Glad He did. So now we finally know the sayings and actions of God.
Next step.
To not see Jesus bringing the divine life of the ages back to you-manity.... is impossible.
"I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power to heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, etc, etc"
"Follow Me, the miracles I do, you will do too"
"God is IN you"
"The Kingdom of God is IN you"
"He who meets you, meets Me".
"You and I are one"
"You will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am in you"
"See, I have given you power over all the forces of the enemy"
"I have come to give you Zoë (=divine life) in abundance!"
Etc, etc, etc.
Hence the divine healing miracles and casting out of demons with His first 12+72 friends.
As i understood these things, i experienced healing miracles and the casting out of demons already thousands of times and many other true believers do too. Yay!
Conclusion of Paul after having revelation and healing all on Malta: "Jesus, the exact image of the invisible God. The fullness of deity dwells in Jesus bodily" and you have been made complete IN Him (the last Adam), who is the head of every principality and power".
John (who had seen, touched, heard Jesus and walked in the same power and love): "the invisible God manifested in human form, in Christ and now in us".
Peter in whoms shadow the sick got healed wrote: "By God's power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man".
Etc, etc, etc.
His life totally proves He is God in human form. Begotten by the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God, healing all, raising the dead, casting out demons, controlling nature, raised from the dead, pouring out His Spirit for us to be indwelled by to be empowered to heal the sick and cast out demons, etc, etc, etc.
Way to much to degrade Him to "just a prophet".
So... Jesus is the manifestation of God in a human body.... "the Son" of God.
He came to take the alienation away mankind got trapped in after the fall. He came to give us back the divine life Adam/mankind lost in its fall.
Because of this fall, a perfect Holy sacrifice had to be made. That is what God did in Christ! It shows His deep, pure, affectionate passion from Him to you/His creation, to restore you back to origin: Christlikeness. Walking in divine power and unselfish divine love.
Jesus walked flawless. Muhammed on the other hand....
Muhammed came after Jesus. He unfortunately never understood God's resolve for mankind's fall, wrote another story, called it the only truth, cutting of the real truth, leading millions astray from their godly identity in Christ. Heartbreaking.
But for those who take Jesus for who He is and ask to be filled by His godly Holy Spirit.....: divine life. Tangible presence of God, healings, demons running for cover, etc. Just as with His first 12+72 friends.
God will make you experience the full (godly) Life made possible through Holy Spirit.
So don't be afraid to leave islam. God can only be found in/through Jesus Christ.
Ask Him to fill you with His/God's Holy Spirit so He can guide you into truth and transform your life. You and God/Jesus are finally one again. He will open your eyes and give you Zoë (divine life). You will be growing into Him in all things. The life you see in Him and His first 12+72 friends.
I experience it since 25 years and so will you.
I love it when the truth is revealed!
You are a brave man, also brave boss
Another reason is that the scholars know well not only they may lose their income but their life as well.
Nice work
Yesterday, there was that guy who said to ask the Islamic scholars rather than just an ex Muslim. Of course the academics who left Islam after study would not be included in this suggestion so it’s a loaded situation.
Another thing about being religious to the letter....when they make a 100 ohm resistor for a circuit, they don't make it exactly 100 ohms because such a resistor cannot be made. Instead they specify a tolerance--a range of allowable values that will still do the job, and make the resistor be within the tolerance. A 5% tolerance 100 ohm resistor can be from 95 ohms to 104 ohms and still be within tolerance and be counted as a good resistor. Ask yourself when you find yourself burning needless calories trying to be exactly by the book with a religion..."Are these rules from God" or "Are these rules made by a man?"
When you are a scholar or a scientist, your primary professional obligation is to speak the truth. This excuse about livelihood is very specious. Doctors might lose patients if they have bad news for the patient or are very strict. Does that mean they start lying to their patients to maintain their earnings then?
If you study fully about it one of two things will happen to you
1) You will leave it.

I think most educated people understand that religion is more about community and establishing traditions, societal norms and practices than it is about sticking to beliefs about history and metaphysics. It's the orthodox, fundamentalist types who don't seem to understand the nature of the game at all. This is why they leave religion.
It's sad to believe that there's no heavenly hereafter. This is it everyone.

I think Islam presents habits that may, or may not, be helpful to your well-being. If it doesn’t help, don’t follow those habits. The stories are a different matter, and they should be taken as Legend in my opinion. Still doesn’t discredit any habits that help you become a better human though!

If you fight against your own religion, it is only natural that you face anger. I as a Muslim, would definitely feel angry and sad when that happens... Because Islam is the closest to our hearts, and you by defecting against the religion, you are tearing apart all the connections between you, islam, and our hearts. This is a religion that we defend, so if anyone, even an Ex Muslim starts to become an enemy to our religion, we would fight back. And if we can't, then we will talk about it, and if we can't, we will just pray for him/her.
Islam is a flaw, fraud, idollogy and you know it!
I find many Muslim, as a ex myself, do have doubts yet rarely question the relgion and its practices. I find Muslims rather live in denial as it is easier to remain iggorant and ignore the evidence to the mistakes, hate, nonsense that exist throughout the Quran(s) and Hadiths. Not only is it easier to remain iggorant, it is also mentally and physically safer simply not to doubt, question, leave or be critical of Islam as it usually comes with social stigma and hate within Muslims communities esp. to those who openly do doubt, question, leave or are critical of this relgion. Defence by so-called 'apologists' are mostly defended with manipulation, various different answers from different defenders and ofcourse the very blatant lies and threats that come along with it! In a way it's shocking how the ideas, rules, practices and thinking of creating a 'Ideology' fits perfectly within Islam!

What you guys did to buddism was honestly evil, and the thing is. Buddhist wasn't the invaders, we were the defenders and you guys came and loot us. Its all documented in our history, look it up. Your religion is like the pagan religion of the greeks, you slaughtered innocent people to spread your religion like a virus.

Don't lie about history because we all know what islam did to other religion, lying is also a sin in buddism so don't lie
What if, Daniel Haqiqatjou studied Islam at a University like Yale?
The misconception that pious Muslims can't be academics... A couple of years ago this may have actually been believable. So thankful for the work done by people like Derrick Lambert (Host of Mythvision) and Gabriel Reynolds (Host of Exploring the Qur'an and the Bible); they continue to demonstrate that this position is blatantly erroneous.

um what's wrong with that
What an unintelligent comment! The topic of discussion here is Islam- not Christianity.
i think, the main problem of common muslims and including most of their Quranic scholars, are too much "legalistic," (fiqh oriented), as if ayatollah (god guidance) is only one: al Quran (holy scripture). factually, God him self, in very first revelation to Muhammad, is not asking Muhammad to study (iqra) the holy Quran (cos the kitab doesn't exist at that day), instead He command Muhammad to study (iqra) other ayatullah, we called as ayat Kauniyah (universe and all of His Creations in it). That why in serious and encyclopedic Islamic traditional school, we always taught that beside al Quran, there is another god guidance (ayatullah) called ayat kauniyah (the universe and all god creation in it). and for qur'anic scholars, we also know --from al Quran it self, there are two others god guidance (ayatullah), that we as muslims should seek for God Guidances: called as ayat insaniyah (human being) and ayat tarikhiyyah (human history).
if common muslims and it scholars, uses all 4 God Guidance in balanced ways, we will not always fall into legalistic point of view when we talking or examining Islam point of view about woman/feminism, politics, evolution, LGBTQ issues, democracy, secularism, separation between religion and state, on terrorism, etc. for me, if sociology, political science, statistics, history on the rise and fall of civilizations/countries (as interpreters of ayat kauniyah and ayat tarikhiyyah) comes to the conclusion that democracy with separation between religion and state, is the best political system in the world for advancement human civilizations, then all Muslims should choose democracy with separation between religion and state, as preferable political system to practice in all Muslims majority countries.
also if expert on biology, doctors, psychiatry, etc (as interpreter of ayat kauniyah and ayat insaniyah) , said that beside man and woman (as gender), we also has intersex, hemaprodyte, woman with more testosterones, man with more X chromosome, etc, then all Muslims should choose to agree that god him self gave us guidance / ayat that beside man and woman as gender, there also another genders/pronouns that we should cherish, protect, and respect (cos if we don't respect others God Creations, are similarly with we don't respect our God as their Creator).
if we stubborn, only picks, one ayatullah, we called al Quran (holy scripture/ayat Qauliyah), as the one and only god guidance to follow, then muslims and it scholars, will always fall upon into legalistic point of view (fiqh oriented) when we examining what is islamic point view on everything under the sky. wahabbiyah, isis, al Qaida, etc are trapped in this narrow point of view about Islam and its believe. of course, for responsible and encyclopedic islamic teaching, all those narrow point views on Islam are wrong (at least incomplete), misguided, and disrespecting God.
umar bin khattab, as on of few sahabah (closed friend of Prophet), several times choose to disregarding some textual issues stated clearly in al Quran, and pick other decision after he choose as Muhammad successor, as leader (khalifah/amir), if there are more fairer and more justice way (socially) on making decision as Amir/Leader, rather than choose from what already state very clear in al Quran. he always choose more fairer and more justice decisions, even others sahabah question his decision. and as we know it, umar bin khattab is one of several sahabah (closed friend of Prophet) that guaranteed (informed) by the Prophet that he is going to heaven. his way of leadership decision, was a hard evidence that the closest friend to Muhammad, also not only consider holy scripture (ayat Qauliyah), but also social aspect, fairness, and justice (ayat kauniyah), when he making decision as a leader.
nobody in umar bin khattab time, dare to called umar bin khattab as heretic/bid'ah, kuffar, or infidel. but in modern era, several of loud muslims, loud muslim scholars, and most of jihadist will immediately call us heretic/bid'ah, kuffar, or infidel if we also uses 3 other God Guidance's beside ayat Qauliyah, when we speak, analyze, examining islamic point of view on everything under the sun. how strange is it, if we following completes God Guidance's, then be called as infidel, kuffar, or bid'ah. legalistic approach (fiqh oriented) on Islam has bad impact on advancement of Islamic civilization, and has backward effect on development of its peoples: the Muslims. but yes, in Islamic jurisprudence (ushul fiqh), we also has similar concept with Umar way, but unfortunately has more narrowed approach and clearly far from sufficient to be implemented in modern era, we call them: maslahah mursalah (public good principle) and maqashid syariah (ratio legal over legal specific).
if muslims also incorporate social science, biology, technology, history, political science, psychology, etc (as part of rightful interpreter all of God Guidancs/ayatullah), many problem we faced today in many part of Muslim countries, will be addressed in responsible way. Muhammad him self, in his own word (Hadits Bukhari Collection no 6015), said: muslims should follow person with specific expertise on handling matter, so let political scientist handle political matter, health matter should handle by doctors, etc. do not let everything under authority of quranic expert. in general, muslim should treat expert on other ayatullah (scientist as rightful interpreter whole universe and all of His Creations in it, as rightful interpreter human being behavior and it history) equal to expert on holy scripture (al quran). Furthermore, on all wide range of social issues, every new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist, should supersede (abrogate) any old interpretation from holy scripture, cos all of new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist, are also rightful interpreter of God Guidance (ayatullah). falling to do so, should be interpreted as a disqualified argument/opinion.
Many argument/opinion base on fiqh (islamic legal specific), kalam (theology) and falsafah (philosophy), factually in most areas are quite obsolete for addressing social, economic, and political problem in modern era, cos most of them are derived only from ayat Qauliyah (Quranic centric), which is an incomplete way to sorting our problem in modern era. Most of old argument/opinion already supersede/abrogated by new founding/understanding as result from responsible research by scientist. Muslims should back to the complete of God Guidance in balance way on solving problem in Muslims world, not only using holy scripture as final say. and stop kuffar/infidel calling game, cos that game from a complete, genuine, and responsible interpretation of 4 God Guidances, is simply un islamic.
and, as an open end conclusion, there is a deeper question: why common muslims and its scholars dare to disregarding 3 other God Guidance's? why muslims and its scholars become legalistic (only focus on 1 ayatullah / 1 God Gudance (ayat Qauliyah) called alquran, as if salvation of a civilization fate can be and must be depend on 1 cause only? as brief answer is: corruption and abuse of power by people in high power, it cronies, and big business that closed to muslim countries rulers at that time. all of them, almost single handedly creates and propagate common muslims and its scholars into disregarding 3 other God Guidance's.
peoples in power, it cronies, and big business that closed to muslim countries rulers push and push relentlessly to narrow interpretation on morals and public interest thru perverted interpretation on the holy scripture. even, they dare to appoint unqualified islamic scholar as qadi for them to uses as fatwa producers in favors to their vested interest. since then, islamic civilization goes down spiral into inevitable decline from it's greatness. many fatwa produced in their regime will makes serious, genuine, and responsible islamic scholar scratching their head and shocked. fatwa on mihnah policy, on banning printing technology, banning radio, tv, google, youtube, etc, are among of perverted interpretation on holy scripture. it lead to tradition/repetition/reinforcement on using narrow interpretation islamic law for beating and punishing dissent and discontent on social injustice in islamic society.
furthermore, it lead islamic society to become close minded, anti science, and trapped in textual approach tradition on just 1 god guidance called al quran (ayat Qauliyah) only, with narrow and more narrow interpretation. common muslim today and it scholar today are the real victims of bad fatwa born from dark alliance between high power, it cronies, big business that closed to muslim rulers before them. lets wake them up, by spreading the real genuine of God Guidance's and it's rightful interpreters that we called: sciences. amen.

Their head may not be on the shoulder or get punched, excommunication and more..Money and fame is another reason.. they may not have a lavish income after that. it is all business, people pay for spreading religion once they tell the truth that stops.
Im yet to hear something substantial in regards to contradictions.
It's funny how if a Muslim is honest about what he knows and doesn't it is characterized that he is not honest enough to leave Islam. Now if I get the names of those who are academics and present them hear all what would be said is .... They are not brave enough to denounce Islam and that they are benefiting from it. But if that same accusation is said about ex-Muslims then we are conducting as hominem. If I say this guy is making a show and getting funded then it is an attack on him. I love the contradiction. It is always easy to corner your opponent and claim victory by allowing yourself what you deny others.
