    Brother I have deep, deep respect for your humility but please don't sell yourself short. The mere fact alone that you made this video is profound and powerful, but the content you present makes it all the more powerful because it is important and needs to be heard. You are putting yourself out there in order to inspire others and help them dig themselves out of the religious holes they find themselves in, and it can not be overstated how amazing that is. So thank you for this video, and for all of the work you do as a whole. You are a force of nature, and an inspiration to us all. Peace and love to you and yours.

    Thank you for making this video. I've recently been learning about US influences in the middle east during the 20th century, and hearing your perspective as an Iranian American is very much appreciated! You're absolutely right: we need to increase awareness and education of these issues to hopefully reduce the bigotry and "us vs them" mentality that so many people have.

    Another good video. Thanks, man. I'm really happy to hear your channel is monetized again. I don't have as grim a prospect for the future as you do. But I can understand your logic. The reason I am optimistic is because the truth has a funny way of winning in the end. It might take a while, there may be bumps in the road, but the race is not for the swift. It is for those who can endure. And I think your contributions will help in a small way to get us there.

      Of course I did not mean it is never going to get better. Based on experience it always will. I merely meant based on the past years and how the policies are at the moment I do not see any possibility of change. That will most likely change in the future.

    Just found your channel today after an atheism binge. Went from Ricky Gervais to Stephen Fry and here I am. Really enjoyed this video. I'm an atheist now, formerly Muslim but will defend the innocent from rampant Islamophobia that we see in the West today. Rare to see people speak about Western greed and intervention and how that might have helped escalated extremist fanatical aggression in the Middle East to how things are today. Most people in the West just don't want to think about it. But these hard truths are the facts you need to know to understand the world and how it works, and from there we can go on to solve some of the most pressing issues of today. Thanks for the education!

    Don't get me wrong, I like the US, but to me the christian influence in politics there is scary! I think everyone should be free to believe whatever they want of course, but religion should never be mixed with politics or in schools for that matter, that is where I draw the line!
    Btw, you are welcome to Sweden if atheism would be a problem for you some day. 77% of us do not follow a religion, which I find is one of the best things about my country.

  • @fallacydetector86

    @Agatan Foundation I realize this is an old video.. But I figure it's worth a shot to assist you in your understanding of a few *KEY* points which I believe are fundamental/essential to understand everything else you discuss in the video... The CIA is basically a foreign actor! It's a private organization my friend! Loyal to no flag or ideology. This makes them a major threat to American foreign policy objectives! Practically every time you refer to "the US" in this video, you really meant to say "The CIA" which is far from the same thing although the mainstream media (also private organizations) would have you believe it is one in the same!
    *EDIT*:: Not to mention the 2 party system, really one party when it comes down to foreign policy.. Especially with regards to the military industrial complex, and protecting business interests.. Oil and opium are the main resources that our military has become private militias for the highest bidder to protect...
    This of course is still somewhat of an over simplification in the grand scheme of things, but it's perhaps the best I can do in a youtube comment...

  • @weshard1

    I hear what you say about Islamophobia, and I agree that a lot of it is pure racism. My auntie and cousins converted to Islam back in the 90s, and it has always been an ideology that I have objected to, mainly on the basis of how women are treated.
    They are all white, and still subscribe/submit to Islam. That’s fine with me, but suppression of criticism of its Islamic doctrines seems to be standard by which current media label bigots.
    At the moment it seems there’s little we can do, without being labelled as racists.

    I always thought oil and power was behind these problems. It is brave of this man to publicly speak. Ik his life is probably in danger for sharing these ideas. I would like to read the CIA documents regarding what happened in the 70s. This whole thing is tragic. It makes me sad for all mankind. Follow the money is always the right answer n the only way to see the truth. What a shame. I feel we are doomed as a species.

    I am a Muslim I watched your video however you are mistaken by your Orientalism on Ghazzālī . Ghazzālī is not criticizing knowledge itself. In the words of a historian of philosophy, Michael Marmura.
    Ghazali makes it plain that his purpose is to refute the Islamic philosophers' metaphysical theories and not their natural science. [...] Indeed, the misguided zealot who attacks science in the mistaken belief that he is defending religion, inflicts damage, not on science, but on religion. He inflicts this damage, Ghazali argues, precisely because science is demonstrable and certain. If it does, in fact, contradict religion, then it is the latter that becomes suspect and not science.
    Michael Marmura, "Ghazali and Demonstrative Science." Journal of the History of Philosophy, Volume 3, Number 2, October 1965, pp. 183-204.

    For you who dont know anything about Islam. Look up people who expose the evil in the Quran. And its pedophile prophet. Look up soldiers who have been exposing risking their lives
    Christian Prince, David Wood, Robert Spencer, Anthony Rogers, Sam Shamoun, Sam Solomon, Al Fadi, Apostate Prophet, Abdullah Sameer, and many more.... educate yourselves.
    Muhammad was a white racist and sexist
    Sahih al-Bukhari Book 3 Hadith 63
    -Narrated Anas bin Malik:
    While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: "Who amongst you is Muhammad?" At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied, "This white man reclining on his arm." The an then addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib." The Prophet said, "I am here to answer your questions."
    Sahih Muslim 6081 - “It was narrated that Abu Juhaifah said: ‘I saw the Messenger of Allah with a white complexion and some white hairs.’
    Sahih Muslim 6071 - “It was narrated from Al-Jurairi from Abu At-Tufail…he was white with an elegant face.’
    “…the whiteness of his cheeks.” 4:1208
    Sunan abu dawud- 3:1002
    The Muslim sources even go out of their way to remind us how white Muhammad was. They frequently reference the whiteness of his various body parts-something that was not mentioned about any other prophet, from Abraham to Zachariah.
    Find the following in sahih albukari
    “The whiteness of his shins.” 1:8:367
    “…the whiteness of the thigh of Allah’s Prophet.” 8:3325
    “…the whiteness of his leg.” 456:7:67
    “…the whiteness of his stomach.” 9:90:342
    “…the whiteness of his armpits.” 8:78:631
    Find in sunan abu dawud
    “…the whiteness of the forearms.” 20:3200
    *WHITE MUHAMMAD OWNED BLACK SLAVES*
    Sahih Al bukhari- 7263,6161
    Black slave shot to death while holding Muhammad's luggage- 3858
    So mubammad had sex with a 9year old girl, robbed caravans, beheaded hundreds of Jews (he is okay)- but this black man grabbed cloak before spoils were divided so he is going to hell
    Provisions of the Afterlife Which Lie Within Prophetic Guidance (By Ibn Qayyim Al-jawziya) list 28 of the slaves muhammad owned. Named a woman "ship" in arabic because he loaded her like a ship to carry his things.
    Muhammad had sex with his slaves- ibn ishaq page.653 (i guess thats only creepy when thomas jefferson does it)
    *he called black people "raisin heads" sahih albukari- 7142
    A woman may never be a leader because their mind is deficient of a man, and since oprah wants to run for prez and she is black. Guess muhammad disagrees-7099
    *MUHAMMAD SAYS SATAN LOOKS LIKE A BLACK MAN* ibn ishaq page 243.
    If you say muhammad was black. Thats a death penalty. AL SHIFA-Ahmad ibn Abi Sulayman page 387
    Why are some black people muslim.... they should be some of the last people to become muslim. Muhammad was clearly a false prophet. Muhammad thought he was possesed by a demon.. he was a sinner and couldnt save anyone let alone himself
