    It's my first time seeing Terron. Oh my, what an intellect. I found myself nodding along in agreement the whole way through. His journey parallels my own experience, only I was born in the deen. I have spanned the gamut from dogmatism to alienation to something approaching understanding and philosophical detachment, if that is not too vague.
    This brother has a lot to offer the community. Wonderful to see the maturity of the new crop of Muslim theologians. I could say more. I had better not. I will just say we owe a huge debt of gratitude to Gabriel for hosting intelligent conversations like this. Gentlemen, I doff my hat to you.

    Terron Poole est en quête de la vérité dans l'islam. Fascinant son parcours. Je dirai que nos recherches sont orientées selon les lunettes que l'on met: philosophique, mystique, théologique, dogmatique, historique, etc.
    L'importance accordée à ces orientations intellectuelles, on comprend les évènements sous ces angles...
    C'est bien de s'ouvrir pour essayer d'avoir une compréhension macro et micro, en même temps et être capable d'apprécier tous les angles. Comme l'allégorie de l'éléphant....❤

    Big fan of Gabriel's and Terron/Roxanna's channels. At the 55 min mark it does matter if there is more than one author of the Quran to the Muslims that I know. Allegory doesn't cut it for me. Jews have problems if they hold on to the idea that Moses wrote the 5 books of the Pentateuch and Christians have problems with who wrote the Gospels. Maybe it's more to do with identity that people hold on to their religion as certain aspects can be problematic.

    Love this episode! I'm a big fan of you both. I'm a brit-pakistani that grew up with a combo of desi cultural islam, and arab madrassah salafism. While I don't necessarily believe in Islam anymore (though I'd say I'm a monotheist), I'm still fascinated by the academic approach to islam and it's relationship with islam as it is practiced. Skepsislamica is a channel I wish was around when I was younger instead of having to learn it all the hard way aha. As someone that used to be at the dawah tables, I'd love to hear more about Terron's perspective on UK Islam/muslims, and ways to move forward.

    I don't know about other Muslims, particularly those raised as such in a traditional background, but I don't really place much importance on the scholarship of Western academics onto my own spiritual/religious development honestly. It's like, interesting, but it never really informs my belief system.

    @omarmirza9957 4 месяца назад +3

    The problem with seeing the stories in the Quran as allegories is that the Quran does not present them as allegories e.g. in the story of the Companions of the Cave it describes debates about how many of them there were, and tells the readers not to listen to the competing views since only a few have knowledge of them; this is not about fictional characters, but about figures assumed to be real.

    I understand that he may not be doing it purposely, but it ruins the flow of the conversation for the listener when the interviewer continuously interrupts or interjects, even with subtle mhm mhms or trying to interject his own feelings into the interviewers answer. I’m not trying to be rude, it’s just my thoughts as a listener. I really want to get to know Terrone, but it’s hard when someone is not allowing him to flow.
