For me, I reverted to Islam because it has all of the answers to my questions in life and takes out all of the trial and error. It's literally a step by step guide for humanity on how to live our best life. If put into practice of course. We can't take Muslims as examples for Islam. Only the Prophet (SAW).

When a neuroscientist argues with anyone but an actual Muslim scholar and repeats the same old tired socially-engineered tropes about Islam, which just happens to be the religion of people whose lands we need to occupy and conquer, and by extension blackwash through unrelenting demagoguery
Islam is the last message in a long line of messages. The majority of westerners converting (reverting) to Islam are women, and that’s been the stronger trend for the past decades. Men have too, but in recent times there’s been an increase in men because there’s been an overall increase in westerners reverting to this faith in general. As more and more people have been able to learn about Islam from unbiased sources, and Muslims themselves, they’re getting to hear and see the actual reality for themselves. Then there’s events like Gaza, the most documented genocide in history, which has opened people’s eyes and hearts to the truth. The truth that Muslims have wrongfully been vilified to the degree that killing them and murdering their babies in broad daylight, and defending such heinous crimes as raping them, has become acceptable to many of those who have carried prejudice and hatred against them, many so called Christians included. The ultimate sad irony of this being that there are a good few Palestinian Christians that have also been murdered in Gaza. Since western media and populations generally carry a deep prejudice against Islam, it has spewed this hate out for decades (centuries to be honest), the ultimate result of which, is precisely what can be seen in Gaza. The apartheid regime there has used this prejudice, fueled it (spent some 200 million dollars on it) to feed into this hatred even more because they knew it existed, even if western media and populations themselves often deny it. Ultimately though, people believe their own eyes, and if their hearts haven’t already hardened so much from prejudice and hatred, then they see the truth with their hearts as well. And some of those, in increasing numbers, revert to Islam as they recognize the truth.
Ignoramus’ have come and gone and they have perished. Try as hard as you can but the NUR of Islam will never be diminished. I’m so grateful to be born Muslim and welcome to all my family of reverts. Alhamdulillah.
الحمد لله على نعمة الإسلام I'm a white American convert. I was 15 years old at the time. Alhamdu lillah, I'm happy that I'm not such a novelty anymore like I was all those years ago, haha.
و لقد کرمنا بنی آدم ، .... indeed we gave humanity his dignity , Truly if you go outside of Islam your life become depressing and meaningless. Allah gave us worth and dignity by Islam,
They were contradicting each other, they basically said that it's because Islam aligns with a ridiculous adolescent's boy fantasy to be macho (basically trying to call Islam misogynistic without having the guts to outright say it), then they made it that Islam has good points but we just don't believe it was sent by God. Anyway, this is gonna be long but it's something that I think is very important, and is very near and dear to my heart as a muslim woman with scary feminist ideas. so if you'll show me some patience, I promise you my reproach is not out of malice. Men should be very very careful talking about feminism. Not that any movement is infallible, but I'd be very suspicious of a man taking a dig at feminism when they can simply be directing their discussion towards men to step up more, do more, and be more. Honestly men should just let women and feminism be, focus more on men. It's easier to place the blame of social decay on feminism when you're a man because it absolves you of responsibility but really ask yourself, how were these women treated before feminism? especially in the western world? What sort of “tradition” and “traditional lifestyle” are you looking to go back to?? Is government, policy, and how they spend taxes not responsible for the state of society? Don’t you think families would automatically spend more time together if they had better wages, men and women?? Do you honestly think that the problem with society is that ALL the women chose not to get married and prioritize their careers so that the otherwise absolutely fine responsible men can’t find women to start their families with??? A man who chooses to talk about women issues especially in a negative sene, is someone to be very suspicious of. Not necessarily because feminism is beyond reproach or that he may never have a good point, but because he chose the easiest topic for himself that absolves him from any responsibility or need to take action. It’d be much harder to stand up against government spending practices and affect positive change, It’d be much harder to stand up to his peers and buddies to step up their game and act more responsibly and graciously towards their families and women. As a muslim, I believe that Islam introduced feminism way before all of that. It's my regret that in some parts of the “muslim world” we're actually regressing when it comes to feminism because of how we believed western values regarding women especially during colonialist movements. To give an example, here in Egypt during British colonization "women liberation and education" somehow became synonyms with "women wearing less and putting on makeup”, you’d see them wear western British clothes (the men and women), rather than for example going back to the Prophet's PBUH Hadith where he said that women and girls should NOT be denied to go to the mosque (and mosques being the centre of everything educational at the time). Even now that popular culture is largely western more liberal secular, and reactionary to that you have some conservative christian “traditional” content, we as muslims are still learning about who we are and what we supposedly believe through non-muslims. Even if it is in disagreement with what is being said, it is reactionary disagreement in my opinion and contradicts what you just said the video on how muslim women and men are steadfast in their believes and do not change to fads. You generally find that with native cultures with old history that are indigenous to the land that matriarchal structures are very strong. Women have a strong social presence in various areas of life and are revered for it. Usually it's with colonialist outposts that you see those matriarchal structures destroyed and replaced with that macho stuff and the exploitation of women in various ways. In my opinion and limited understanding of the world and history. You blame “feminism”, I blame “macho wars”. plz plz plz don't fall down that slippery slope of blaming feminism for whatever that's bad with society. It’s the easiest politically safe issue to make a stand on without causing any real change to the structures of power so you find that that’s the only issue where the two main political parties in most countries disagree upon (Feminism and LGBTQ for that matter, but that’s a whole different can of worms) other than that, same policies that favor money being distributed among the already wealthy keeping them in power by basically bribing government officials through “campaign money” to keep the same policies, while the majority of people have to lead a solely-financially-driven life, that’s where you wanna blame social decay. Scooby-dooby-doooooo not that anyone’s reading this far anyway, but hey, planting a plant even if it’s judgement day.
As a Muslim Islam should be the yardstick for us and not any other isms. So if there’s problems with/for men it should be solved with Islam not meninism or redpoll, and when it’s the women problems/issues again Islam is where we look towards not feminism/liberalism. So let us all learn our Deen, put it in action, remind and advice each other(reminders benefits the believers) thereby not going towards ideologies created by filthy people (like founders of Meninism and Feminism)
Jihad means Struggle. Rule of thumb: "He who takes a life without just cause it is as if he has taken the life of the whole of humanity and he who saves a life it is as if he has saved the life of the whole of humanity." That is when one has to consider physical struggel but the important struggle is especially in the way of sincerity, reliance on God, tolerance of others, gratefullnes for God's favours on you, etc. The lowest and last resort of struggle against injustice is physical and this is always only applicable in defence of yourself and others and never as an aggressor. Physical jihad is always the last option. One should not stand still and do nothing in the face of evil bearing on yourself or someone innocent.
why do muslms always SKIP the first part of that verse ?? 🤔🤔🤔 Quran 5 32 BECAUSE OF THAT, WE DECREED UPON THE CHILDREN OF ISREAL that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.
very good points mr. James, and my Allah reward you for explaining most important and potential soul saving issues to others who is seeking the middel path and the truth. People like Sam Harris deliberately and knowingly misrepresent to audiences who listens to them. One can have strong belive in his cause/theory, it's another thing to lie about it or choose to stay ignorant about it, while in the same breath calming to have an academic honesty regarding the subject, and claiming that they have look into these matters enough to make these statement about Islam. These people have tendency to thing they are them self gods, iyadhu bi llah (and refuge is sought with Allah). Keep up with the haq/truth and the good work by informing people mr. James, and may Allah reward you with the ultimate victory in the day of reconning.
some women on social media now advocating for segreted gym and single mother selling their houses because they can't pay mortgage that suddenly increase that have pay double the value of the house..men doesn't want to date anymore,rather go asian country to find a wife etc...these value that they proud of are starting to crumble..either their desire getting stronger and stronger or being crush by the system..none of those negative value will make people productive or motivate to go on with their daily life..being YOLO is destructive mission on individual.
I hate listening to someone talking about Islam without knowledge. You have to study Islam and then you can make a statement about. it involves All the topics in this life: a physician talks about medicines, a businessman talks about business, a farmer talks about agriculture...it's not as simple as that?
Great reaction Brother Ibrahim, Sam Harris has been fighting Islam for 20 years and he has nothing to show for it! Islam has increased in population despite Sam's hard work in spreading Islamophobia and I think he knows it at this point lol. Just like Dawkins calling himself a "cultural Christian" after 30+ years of fighting the concept of religion including Christianity. Allah swt has showed them in their own lives that they were fighting a lost war and more people than ever are accepting Islam ALHAMDULILAH.
The literal meaning of **Jihad** in Islam is "struggle" or "striving." It comes from the Arabic root **"jahada,"** which means to strive or exert effort. In Islamic teachings, jihad refers to the effort to lead a good life, promote justice, and improve oneself and society according to Islamic principles. ### Types of Jihad: 1. **Greater Jihad (Jihad al-Nafs)**: This is the personal, internal struggle against one’s own sinful inclinations or the effort to be a better person by adhering to Islamic morals and ethics. This is often considered the most important form of jihad. 2. **Lesser Jihad**: This refers to the physical struggle to defend Islam or the Muslim community, which can include warfare under certain circumstances, but only in defense and with strict ethical guidelines. This form of jihad has often been misunderstood and misrepresented. ### Misconceptions: While "jihad" is often associated with violent conflict or "holy war" in some Western contexts, within Islam, it primarily refers to the broader effort to live a life aligned with divine guidance. The emphasis is more on personal development and social justice than on conflict.
All of my christian Arabs friends I grew up with share my same values. It’s not machos. We have values and ready to pay the price to respect them. That’s all! We’re not to sale! Easy
The interviewee is trying very hard to provide misinformation about Islam. He can continue doing that as it makes more sincere and thinking people curious about this religion, this way of living.
For Sam Harris to say Islam is a macho religion, many women are converting as well. It's not that Islam is macho, it's that Islam is secure.

Sam Harris is a lost soul. I find his talks to be irrelevant because his arguments aren’t logical.
him and Bil Maher are both zionist Js
He doesn’t make sense at all.
MashAllah sir amazing effort 👍👌👍may Almighty ALLAH Bless you always and guide you always all the best 🤲👍👌👍❤️❤️❤️

Where is that yemeni sister, lol she is not hip to James Lake Show yet. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@1sosukeaizen1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
very good points mr. James, and my Allah reward you for explaining most important and potential soul saving issues to others who is seeking the middel path and the truth. People like Sam Harris deliberately and knowingly misrepresent to audiences who listens to them. One can have strong belive in his cause/theory, it's another thing to lie about it or choose to stay ignorant about it, while in the same breath calming to have an academic honesty regarding the subject, and claiming that they have look into these matters enough to make these statement about Islam. These people have tendency to thing they are them self gods, iyadhu bi llah (and refuge is sought with Allah). Keep up with the haq/truth and the good work by informing people mr. James, and may Allah reward you with the ultimate victory in the day of reconning.
James you see the media bigotry so well and it feels good to see you notice it, Allah bless you and keep you on the right path
Islam on the top allhamdullilah 🫡☪️
some women on social media now advocating for segreted gym and single mother selling their houses because they can't pay mortgage that suddenly increase that have pay double the value of the house..men doesn't want to date anymore,rather go asian country to find a wife etc...these value that they proud of are starting to crumble..either their desire getting stronger and stronger or being crush by the system..none of those negative value will make people productive or motivate to go on with their daily life..being YOLO is destructive mission on individual.
What does that have to do with Islam?
@@thinking7667 you will see..
@@ahmadruzaini4646 umm okay. I shouldn't have wasted my time.
@@thinking7667 just think about what is forbidden in Islam.. and think about consequences of letting that loose..
@@ahmadruzaini4646 It sounds like you're making a threat
الحمد لله على نعمه الاسلام ❤
Thanks for turning me on to Sam Harris. He seems very reasonable.
Salam alaykum brother. Im a Shia Muslim. Curious of your revert story.
No such thing as a shia muslim
I hate listening to someone talking about Islam without knowledge. You have to study Islam and then you can make a statement about.
it involves All the topics in this life: a physician talks about medicines, a businessman talks about business, a farmer talks about agriculture...it's not as simple as that?
Alhamdulillah
Great reaction Brother Ibrahim, Sam Harris has been fighting Islam for 20 years and he has nothing to show for it! Islam has increased in population despite Sam's hard work in spreading Islamophobia and I think he knows it at this point lol. Just like Dawkins calling himself a "cultural Christian" after 30+ years of fighting the concept of religion including Christianity. Allah swt has showed them in their own lives that they were fighting a lost war and more people than ever are accepting Islam ALHAMDULILAH.
People are not taking the shahada on the street. When he said that I instantly tapped out because it’s so comically ridiculous.
The literal meaning of **Jihad** in Islam is "struggle" or "striving." It comes from the Arabic root **"jahada,"** which means to strive or exert effort. In Islamic teachings, jihad refers to the effort to lead a good life, promote justice, and improve oneself and society according to Islamic principles.
### Types of Jihad:
1. **Greater Jihad (Jihad al-Nafs)**: This is the personal, internal struggle against one’s own sinful inclinations or the effort to be a better person by adhering to Islamic morals and ethics. This is often considered the most important form of jihad.
2. **Lesser Jihad**: This refers to the physical struggle to defend Islam or the Muslim community, which can include warfare under certain circumstances, but only in defense and with strict ethical guidelines. This form of jihad has often been misunderstood and misrepresented.
### Misconceptions:
While "jihad" is often associated with violent conflict or "holy war" in some Western contexts, within Islam, it primarily refers to the broader effort to live a life aligned with divine guidance. The emphasis is more on personal development and social justice than on conflict.
All of my christian Arabs friends I grew up with share my same values. It’s not machos. We have values and ready to pay the price to respect them. That’s all! We’re not to sale! Easy
The title should be "so many women" because way more women are converting mashallah
nice take.
The interviewee is trying very hard to provide misinformation about Islam. He can continue doing that as it makes more sincere and thinking people curious about this religion, this way of living.
