      @@keksi6844 You are just trying to discredit him because everything he says "cuts too close to the bone" as far as Islam is concerned. And that's why he needs 24 hour protection, which tells you something about Islam and it's not good. The fact that Muslim are trying to silence him shows you that Muslims are completely unable to rebuke his devasting arguments against Islam. When has a critic of Christianity needed 24 hour protection because of a threat emanating from other Christians , in Islam this is the norm for those that criticize Islam. what I like about apostate Muslims who criticize Islam, is they know Islam's weaknesses like nobody else and they have a certain credibility because they were once believers but they have now seen through the veil of falseness. Read the "Muhammad code " by, Howard Bloom if you want to read a good book about Islam and you will see that everything this person is correct.

      @@faryi1770 There will be no end times because Islam is false and it's initial success in convincing people it was true, was a product of a prescientific age, rooted in ignorance and superstition. People now know better so it is natural that faith in Islam will decline, and that is what's happening. Now are telling me that Allah couldn't find a better person to be his prophet than Mohhamad, someone who owned sex slaves and married a six year old girl and had sex with her when she was 9. These things are not lies, they from respectable Islamic sources. No Mohammed made up the Quran and it is obvious because it is full of irrational mumbo jumbo that makes no sense. . Like saying that "the sun sets in a muddy pond". Do you really thing the Koran sounds like it is from an all knowing, all powerful, God ?

      In anthropology among resource methods described such as agrarian, urban, horticultural there is a form of cultural adaptation called trade and raid. For example raid free inernationalaid and sell it to your own people. Also explains a unique institution like Palestinian Authority Martyrs Fund. There's literally oil and gas reserves under gaza that they were free to develop. There are ancient societies still existing today in which lying and stealing are skills not vices and hard work is only understood as something umake others do as punishment and sign of power over them. They are literally such group. Begging is above work in that world. Why else do arabs always always rule their own with an iron fist and pay dearly when they don't. Jesus in their version didn't die, someone else was made to look like him and died in his place. And they think that version is better, a son of god hiding behind a human so he doesn't get hurt, letting a random person suffer. I don't even believe in that Christian religious stuff but incompatibility of mentalities and cultures is obvious.

      Part of the problem today is that people cannot deal with facts and truth when it involves religion. They believe all religions are the same and based on loose interpretation. They think we can believe anything we want based on a text. It's crazy.
      And this is why they don't listen, no matter how much evidence you show them.

    Nice conversation. I liked that he didn't accept labeling based on his religiosity or non religiosity.
    I want to add that some Christians ( Catholics and Orthodox) have prayers throughout the day that sound similar to Islam. Maybe something else Islam took? Anyway, devout Catholics, religious and diocesan priests pray the liturgy of the hours. It's composed of morning, mid-morning, midday, afternoon, evening, night prayers and the office of readings. Many religious and all diocesan priests pray all of that every day. It's part of their vows. Others pray part. Praying the liturgy isn't compulsory, unless you've promised to do so, and there's not much ritual involved. I have the liturgy on my phone and have prayed morning prayer in the break room at work while my coworkers were on their phones doing their thing.

      That's the result of brainwashing. Men have to ensure their women are properly indoctrinated especially since they (the men) know how weak they are in keeping their sexual desire in check. Women are held captive in Islam's purity culture and pay the price yet again for the male sex's inability to self-control.

      ​@@Dahit-ji6lfMalaysian context is even more twisted.
      The underlaying racial sentiments ( opposite of being supremacist, the feeling ones own race as subpar compared to the others due to civilisation history etc ) plays into the false pride that Islamist narrative use to build an identity based on a narrative of religious supremacism makes the entire end result even more toxic.
      The end result is so damaging where collectively the identity of the individual has become obscure if non existence, replaced by group think.
      Group think in all types and forms invariably comes into existence to replace universal morals and justice with its false equivalent which is selective and one sided in its nature.
      The way the Islamic clergy has decided to address this issue of selective morals and justice by a universal god is not unique.
      Its exactly how the rank and file Nazi bureucrats chose to explain their participation in the systemic murder of close to 12 over million jews, romas, homosexuals and mentally disabled people.
      Majority of them whom were fellow germans during the Nuremberg Trials after WW2.
      They said they were merely following orders as civil servants and members of an armed force.
      Its the same argument Islamist are using to side step the question why the religious commandments of a universal creator is selective in nature and not applicable to all of his creation.
      Religion is about carrying out Gods commandments, not about questioning it.
      Does that explain how an otherwise loving, tolerant, peaceful community in an entire country keep silent when non muslim children are unilaterally converted and the rights of the children and parent especially the mother is dismissed wholesale just because it involves religion?

    HIGHLY insightful conversation. Regarding religion, I see strongly opposing worldviews. The Judeo-Christian worldview values life whereas the Islamic worldview values death. When asked, I say I’m Christian because I value life - meaning I follow Christ’s example of relationship with God within (Christ said one’s body is the temple of the living God - and we are all One).
    Every breath is a prayer, no recitation. Everything in life is purposeful, everything has meaning. In Christ’s worldview we are encouraged to look for growth and meaning (knock and the door will be opened). I find immense and unconditional LOVE within. Is it in a church? Not for me, though there’s value in community. Go where you find the living God within.

    The islxmic doctrine is the very problem. 64%of Qxran texts talk about the unbeliever(Kafir/Kufr) , only 2.6% is neutral, the rest is calling for violence. 51% of the islxmic trilogy(Qxran, the Sira[Biography of Muhxmmad] and Hadith[his sayings an traditions]) in total, about a million words, are political and about how to treat "the unbelievers" (Kafirs/Kufr, not even a nice word in case you ask..) . So the majority of islxm talks about Us, the non mxslims. The doctrine is dualistic and contradictory and used by convenience, with the subterfuge of "abrogation" . It divides humanity in two: 1)muslims(the ones that accept their tenets about Alkxh and Muhxmmad ), and 2)THE REST OF MANKIND. Mxslims are mandated to imitate their prophet's perfect life model(he was a religious and political leader and a warlord, with up to 13 wifes, sex slaves and a 6 year old bride). Islxm is declared to convert, subjugate(Dhimmitude) or(then... ) kill all unbelievers(don't forget sex slavery in the case of kafir women, as spoils of war) , till the whole world becomes islxmic. The doctrine divides the world in Darb al islxm(realm of islxm) and Darb al Harb(realm of war/conquest). You figure....
    I suggest checking the CSPII NGO, , to learn more about political islam(and actually make a difference).

    There is a cool video ('Ex-Muslim Hamed Abdel Samad destroying the political correctness') where they try to stop Hamed making his point, and he says 'either you let me finish what I was saying or I leave this discussion'. Please see it, just 5 min long.
