Even Malcolm X was shocked when he saw white and black muslims sitting and eating together during his pilgrimage to Mecca. When he came back to America he was a better person. He became more tolerant toward the whites and he respected every race.
@jgeahff hcinkalll What about Atheists such as Mao Tsi Tong and Stalin who killed more than 124 million people in the 20th century alone ? The problem is not with faith, the problem is with people.

@@takiyaazrin7562 maybe try to understand what Muslims actually say about these cherry picked hadiths rather than regurgitating what islamophobes say. There are necessary criterion for a religion to be true: - 1 Creator - Creator is not the creation - 3 Gods are not 1 God. These are all falsification tests. Then we can look at the rest when only Islam remains, the only religion that calls for the worship of the creator not the creation. If you want to talk about violent scripture other faiths including Christianity fall way short. Muslims at least have explanations for this stuff people misrepresent without an actual proper understanding.

Reuben Taylor I'm a Muslim Indonesian, just like his wife. I'm Muslim since birth, so it's not like I went thru a journey of faith searching or something. But while I still have a lot of questions about the faith, I believe in the good of Islam. All my school teachers of the Islamic subject at school were good people and they taught me good things. Most of us Muslims are sad about and angry at radical Muslims who create terror in the name of Islam. For most of us, it's not what our faith stands for. I hope more and more people realize that a few bad apples doesn't mean a whole crate of apples is bad.
Yuniar, of course your teachers were good people. Most people are good people, in spite of their circumstances. The story of some guy receiving a special revelation from a god with a name who wants us to do particular things is still absolutely ridiculous. The fact that afterwards he went around killing people and marrying children should be a hint about the quality of this amazing revelation. You can live well without it.

Lantern - I thought I was an atheist much of my life until i realized it was the definition and understanding of God that I was given that I could not stomach. As I encountered other religions with less misunderstanding I started to see things differently, and when I discovered and studied Islam, I found my connection and a source of amazing scholarship and deep understanding. Because Islam originated with Muhammed in Arabia and environs in ancient, biblical times, the cultural and time determined aspects of the religion and culture can seem foreign because they are! But the truths and practices are universal so don't ever be discouraged, look to your inward understanding while pursuing outward knowledge that may help you develop the perspective and knowledge that will click for you. Inshallah.
@@danyakoubian To me I believe in the root religion of all abrahamic religions that inspired Judaism which later inspired Islam and Christianity which is the ancient canaanite religion the forefathers and ancestors of the Palestinians and ancient Israelites. It is from their religion where YHWH worship was popularized brought by some outer tribes into the Canaanite pantheon and worshipped YHWH along with his more powerful brethren Baʿal and their father the Chief God of the Canaanites El who a lot of things in Abrahamic religions are named after ie. IsraEL SamaEL etc. Even stories like YHWH defeating Leviathan was taken from Baʿal vs Lotan or his proper name Litanu who was a servant of the sea god Yammu and is also a sea serpent and is defeated by the benevolent storm god Baʿal.

I’m white and converted to Islam in 2002. I’m a veteran and was stationed in the Middle East for a year. I saw that muslims were good people and not anything like the western media said about them. After 9-11, I wanted to learn about Islam and what it taught. The more I studied it the more I was really interested in it. Seemed more like the Old Testament saying not to worship any thing in the heavens or the earth. Islam made more since than christianity, so I converted to Islam. Never felt more closer to God. All praise be to Allah!!!

@@FactStorm wow, cause a woman actually choosing to cover her body is Indoctrination? What about women who feel the need to reveal their body to get acceptance, attention and to be "Liked", please, the hypocrisy is dumbfounded.
@@ManUtdGirl89 Most do not choose it, they are forced to since childhood. Religion is a disease, it only survives due to said indoctrination. We're talking about a religion which says that women get less inheritance and their testimonies are less of a man's.
@@FactStorm wow, u think u know stuff. Women get less inheritance cause men are suppose to be the breadwinners, wether it’d be her father or Husband, and if a woman chooses to work, well, her money is hers, whereas her husband’s is not only his but his wife’s too, Islam was the 1st religion to give women inheritance, so in Islam, women can work or just stay at home and still get inheritance. And as for testimonies, women are more emotional then men, its a Fact, so women can tend to be swayed by emotions, like the phrase, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”, so women’s testimonies can be swayed very easily by emotions and hormones too. And as for girls being forced to wear the headscarf, where are you getting this information from the Anti-islam/anti-muslim media or the French. Headscarf should be encouraged, not forced, it was instructed to women to honour us and to make us feel like if we are loved and appreciated, its cause of our mind & soul, not our body or looks. And if anything men are getting mire sins then women, cause Muslim men are instructed to lower their gaze if the presence of non-relative women. So you think you know stuff, but you are just like every other Bigot, taking things out of context without even knowing the real purpose or meaning behind it, seriously your Bigotry is showing big time. And btw Religion helps ppl with depression, if they completely rely on God’s will and their faith.

@@saiqhai9968 I appreciate your intention but denying reality is not very helpful at all! Infact when it comes to Sharia the reality of a person or people plays a pivotal role in legislation in various situations. I am white and Scottish and infact I belong to a certain Scottish clan and this holds importance for me!! Islam does not demolish a person's identity rather it kicks out the haram and harmful and the rest can stay!! The companions did not deny their Arabian ethnicity!!! Rather they embraced the good thereof. Yes their case is slightly different because Arabic is the language of Islam and should be the second language of every non Arab Muslim because its obligatory on every Muslim to learn it as many imams have declared! Being an Arab wont get you into Jannah or being white but that doesn't mean that it's not important because Allah clearly says in the Quran that he has made us into different nations and tribes so that we come to recognize and come to know each other!! The different diverse cultures of different races and nations is something natural and it distinguishes people and identifies them and it's very very beautiful! To say theres no white Muslim is to deny my and many others reality and roots. It's a very ill thought out statement but I appreciate the meaning that we are Muslim first before anything else and that these differences of culture and race are secondary to the unity of the ummah! However these days the ummah is divided on sectarian and theological differences and so I suppose you will object when I say that I am a Hanbali/Shaafi'i even though I studied these schools in depth with authority and authorisation after conclusion and passing exams becoming part of a long chain of Muslims being authorized in the same texts stretching back 1300+ years! And so ascribing to these schools is true and lawful because it denotes the legal methodology I follow and this has been accepted practice for the same 1300+ years and Imam Ibn Taymia رحمه الله concedes this because he is an Imam of the Hanabila so hes an Arab Hanbali Muslim whether you like it or not. As long as these personal realities dont divide then they are perfectly permissible.

This was pretty interesting. I think it's definitely people like him that can help eliminate the lunacy many people in this country have. They need to see what it looks like for cultures to blend. I'm an atheist, so I don't see the spread of any religion as good for society, but I do see peaceful interaction between cultures as good. So long as it leads away from stronger worship to the ethereal and more towards the growth of knowledge and improvement of the scientific process.
Worship of the ethereal would be fine. The universe is beyond our comprehension, if someone wants to have feelings of wonderment and awe about that, it seems reasonable enough to me. It's when they start giving their gods stupid names like Dave, and commandments like Dave says you've got to throw a sturgeon at anyone walking on the north side of the street on a Wednesday, that there's a problem. That's not ethereal, that's a very well defined kind of stupidity that by intuition and reason can't have anything to do with the actual mysteries of the universe.
To say that you don’t see the spread of any religion as good for society is your opinion and you’re entitled to it. You too do have a religion and it is atheism so believe what you believe and let others do the same. You know even a pin is made by someone and it’s made to serve a purpose but a complex being like a human or any living breathing thing is an accident is silly. Look around and tell me what was/is not made by someone. I’m an engineer and know no logical arrangement comes about through accidents. If you truly believe you came about as a result of an accident, you’re devoid of logic.
You don't need to throw away the first 29 years of yours because you are a Muslim. Embrace it. Religion and culture are different entities. By becoming a muslim, one does not need to wear and walk like a arab. Be yourself.

I love how Ali _(from that famous viral video of two afro-american kids having a fight and he randomly walked by, saw the scene, stood between them and stopped the argument)_ is in this little documentary.
That's right. When people of another nationality revert to Islam, they should keep up with it on their own. For information regarding Islam, it's ok if the same is obtained from those who know it, but they should independently be Muslim. Islam is meant for every human being and all are free to join it. What is meant here is that Islam is not to be tied to Arabs only.
I think there is nothing wrong saying redneck Muslim I think its like saying black muslim or arab muslim there is racism in every race as long as you don’t see or treat people differently. I think you are fine.
As a Muslim, your religious convictions need to reflect your way of life and your behaviour towards the rest of the society. Because Islam demands high moral standards.

A wonderful man and family. I live in Illinois where my my ancestor who fought in the battles that won the Revolution and their are good people but there are those tht steal from you , destry what you make on you land, and slander me. Amazing to find this man and his fmily so well accepted.
Idk why there’s some Muslims in the United States of African descent will ask questions of their Muslim brother because he’s white about racism and slavery like he had anything to do with it. To those Muslims I tell them did you not read what Allah said? “{وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى وَإِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَى حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ} No bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden Ya Muslims, don’t be like the Catholics who believe if the parent is a killer than his child also Carry’s his sin. That is not what the Islamic faith is about.
As a Roman Catholic, I found this to be very interesting. I have a lot of respect for my Muslim brothers and sisters in humanity. Yes, I do pray for them to embrace the fullness of the Truth which is found alone in the Catholic Church, but I also have a lot of respect for them and I acknowledge the fact that they also worship the same God that we, Catholics, do.
Brother open your eyes and your heart to researching what really Islam is. Catholicism is idolatry its not monotheistic on the other hand Islam is strictly monotheistic superstition is a major sin in Islam it'scalled shirk. All the saints that you believe and the trinity is not monotheistism
Thanks for your respect! But we do not worship Maryum, nor do we worship Jesus, and nor do we worship the Holy Spirit. We only worship God, the Most High who brought revelation and guidance to many messengers. We call him Allah, while Jesus called him Elaha/Eloh in Aramaic.(Something Along those Lines) Peace be upon you.
Both Muslims and Christians that thinks their way is “superior” or “my way is a bit more right than yours” are usually missing the points of spirituality. Think of religion as a disciplinary practice to get to God, higher power, or enlightenment. So Islam works perfectly for some and doesn’t for some people. Same way, Christianity also doesn’t work for all. Just like some people prefer military style discipline and some require more gentle and some require other methods, spirituality is the same. As a Muslim I appreciate many things as other holy books, Buddhism provides meditation, listening to God, 5 prayers provides reminder, singing in the church provides emotional connections through beautiful chants. All this things are gifted from higher power. So I take it and apply to my life. Therefore if we are truly in the presence of God, lord only see our actions, deeds, intentions. Not the petty human arguments about whose book got the real facts. As Edgar Cayce, a spiritual teacher once said “Do your best in the religion that you are practicing”.
@@yabobayo5787 We Muslims don't say our way is superior or slightly right, we say its the ONLY way. In matter of Religion its easy to argue hours about whos superior and whos right, but when it comes to the true religion Islam, you have no room for arguments, take it or leave. For arguments sake we can go that way but its pointless cuz it doesn’t matter what we think is right or superior way of life, Whats only matters is the way of Life God has chosen for us. Anyone who seeks any other way will be among the losers.
This was an amazing & heartening film. In current times, it's so hard to not be cynical about fellow Americans & see how fear of the Other is so entrenched and made a big resurgence despite decades of movements & messages urging people to think differently. Its good to be reminded there are still people even in our small towns & most conservative areas who are living by example and showing there are constructive ways to come together and respect each other despite our differences by showing what we share in common as humans
Group feeling is everywhere . In every group there is a group and within that group there is a group. We are not perfect and can to improve ourselves. So since you left christianity have you been threaten with death? obviously no. That is positive. Spread this ideal.

@@takiyaazrin7562 maybe try to understand what Muslims actually say about these cherry picked hadiths rather than regurgitating what islamophobes say.
There are necessary criterion for a religion to be true:
- 1 Creator
- Creator is not the creation
- 3 Gods are not 1 God.
These are all falsification tests. Then we can look at the rest when only Islam remains, the only religion that calls for the worship of the creator not the creation. If you want to talk about violent scripture other faiths including Christianity fall way short. Muslims at least have explanations for this stuff people misrepresent without an actual proper understanding.
I'm a Militant Atheist but this is honestly a very beautiful video.
I admit my bias... At times I can be a little harsh towards the religious but this really helped change my perspective a lot. Thanks
Read about his religion it's really interesting
I understand!
Reuben Taylor I'm a Muslim Indonesian, just like his wife. I'm Muslim since birth, so it's not like I went thru a journey of faith searching or something. But while I still have a lot of questions about the faith, I believe in the good of Islam. All my school teachers of the Islamic subject at school were good people and they taught me good things. Most of us Muslims are sad about and angry at radical Muslims who create terror in the name of Islam. For most of us, it's not what our faith stands for. I hope more and more people realize that a few bad apples doesn't mean a whole crate of apples is bad.
Yuniar, of course your teachers were good people. Most people are good people, in spite of their circumstances. The story of some guy receiving a special revelation from a god with a name who wants us to do particular things is still absolutely ridiculous. The fact that afterwards he went around killing people and marrying children should be a hint about the quality of this amazing revelation. You can live well without it.
Same. Well said.
This is not my first time watching this but its just as impactful. My revertion is going so slow but steady. I love Islam and its simplicy. Its truely a path to Allah. Thank you for this video.

Lantern - I thought I was an atheist much of my life until i realized it was the definition and understanding of God that I was given that I could not stomach. As I encountered other religions with less misunderstanding I started to see things differently, and when I discovered and studied Islam, I found my connection and a source of amazing scholarship and deep understanding. Because Islam originated with Muhammed in Arabia and environs in ancient, biblical times, the cultural and time determined aspects of the religion and culture can seem foreign because they are! But the truths and practices are universal so don't ever be discouraged, look to your inward understanding while pursuing outward knowledge that may help you develop the perspective and knowledge that will click for you. Inshallah.
@@danyakoubian To me I believe in the root religion of all abrahamic religions that inspired Judaism which later inspired Islam and Christianity which is the ancient canaanite religion the forefathers and ancestors of the Palestinians and ancient Israelites. It is from their religion where YHWH worship was popularized brought by some outer tribes into the Canaanite pantheon and worshipped YHWH along with his more powerful brethren Baʿal and their father the Chief God of the Canaanites El who a lot of things in Abrahamic religions are named after ie. IsraEL SamaEL etc. Even stories like YHWH defeating Leviathan was taken from Baʿal vs Lotan or his proper name Litanu who was a servant of the sea god Yammu and is also a sea serpent and is defeated by the benevolent storm god Baʿal.
Standing ovation for this guy! I cannot imagine how difficult it might be for Shane to process all the ignorance and narrow mindedness that he grew up in, only to discover the truth of it all at almost halfway in his life. May your struggle be rewarded.

After 9-11, I wanted to learn about Islam and what it taught. The more I studied it the more I was really interested in it. Seemed more like the Old Testament saying not to worship any thing in the heavens or the earth. Islam made more since than christianity, so I converted to Islam. Never felt more closer to God.

@@FactStorm wow, cause a woman actually choosing to cover her body is Indoctrination? What about women who feel the need to reveal their body to get acceptance, attention and to be "Liked", please, the hypocrisy is dumbfounded.
@@ManUtdGirl89 Most do not choose it, they are forced to since childhood. Religion is a disease, it only survives due to said indoctrination. We're talking about a religion which says that women get less inheritance and their testimonies are less of a man's.
@@FactStorm wow, u think u know stuff. Women get less inheritance cause men are suppose to be the breadwinners, wether it’d be her father or Husband, and if a woman chooses to work, well, her money is hers, whereas her husband’s is not only his but his wife’s too, Islam was the 1st religion to give women inheritance, so in Islam, women can work or just stay at home and still get inheritance. And as for testimonies, women are more emotional then men, its a Fact, so women can tend to be swayed by emotions, like the phrase, “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned”, so women’s testimonies can be swayed very easily by emotions and hormones too. And as for girls being forced to wear the headscarf, where are you getting this information from the Anti-islam/anti-muslim media or the French. Headscarf should be encouraged, not forced, it was instructed to women to honour us and to make us feel like if we are loved and appreciated, its cause of our mind & soul, not our body or looks. And if anything men are getting mire sins then women, cause Muslim men are instructed to lower their gaze if the presence of non-relative women. So you think you know stuff, but you are just like every other Bigot, taking things out of context without even knowing the real purpose or meaning behind it, seriously your Bigotry is showing big time. And btw Religion helps ppl with depression, if they completely rely on God’s will and their faith.

As a white Muslim I can say that I'm very touched by this brothers story!
There is no white Muslim, black Muslim, Arab Muslim, its just Muslim.
@@saiqhai9968 I appreciate your intention but denying reality is not very helpful at all! Infact when it comes to Sharia the reality of a person or people plays a pivotal role in legislation in various situations. I am white and Scottish and infact I belong to a certain Scottish clan and this holds importance for me!! Islam does not demolish a person's identity rather it kicks out the haram and harmful and the rest can stay!! The companions did not deny their Arabian ethnicity!!! Rather they embraced the good thereof. Yes their case is slightly different because Arabic is the language of Islam and should be the second language of every non Arab Muslim because its obligatory on every Muslim to learn it as many imams have declared! Being an Arab wont get you into Jannah or being white but that doesn't mean that it's not important because Allah clearly says in the Quran that he has made us into different nations and tribes so that we come to recognize and come to know each other!! The different diverse cultures of different races and nations is something natural and it distinguishes people and identifies them and it's very very beautiful! To say theres no white Muslim is to deny my and many others reality and roots. It's a very ill thought out statement but I appreciate the meaning that we are Muslim first before anything else and that these differences of culture and race are secondary to the unity of the ummah! However these days the ummah is divided on sectarian and theological differences and so I suppose you will object when I say that I am a Hanbali/Shaafi'i even though I studied these schools in depth with authority and authorisation after conclusion and passing exams becoming part of a long chain of Muslims being authorized in the same texts stretching back 1300+ years! And so ascribing to these schools is true and lawful because it denotes the legal methodology I follow and this has been accepted practice for the same 1300+ years and Imam Ibn Taymia رحمه الله concedes this because he is an Imam of the Hanabila so hes an Arab Hanbali Muslim whether you like it or not. As long as these personal realities dont divide then they are perfectly permissible.

6 years later and this video is still beautiful. Alhamdulillah.
This was pretty interesting. I think it's definitely people like him that can help eliminate the lunacy many people in this country have. They need to see what it looks like for cultures to blend. I'm an atheist, so I don't see the spread of any religion as good for society, but I do see peaceful interaction between cultures as good. So long as it leads away from stronger worship to the ethereal and more towards the growth of knowledge and improvement of the scientific process.
Worship of the ethereal would be fine. The universe is beyond our comprehension, if someone wants to have feelings of wonderment and awe about that, it seems reasonable enough to me. It's when they start giving their gods stupid names like Dave, and commandments like Dave says you've got to throw a sturgeon at anyone walking on the north side of the street on a Wednesday, that there's a problem. That's not ethereal, that's a very well defined kind of stupidity that by intuition and reason can't have anything to do with the actual mysteries of the universe.
To say that you don’t see the spread of any religion as good for society is your opinion and you’re entitled to it. You too do have a religion and it is atheism so believe what you believe and let others do the same. You know even a pin is made by someone and it’s made to serve a purpose but a complex being like a human or any living breathing thing is an accident is silly. Look around and tell me what was/is not made by someone. I’m an engineer and know no logical arrangement comes about through accidents. If you truly believe you came about as a result of an accident, you’re devoid of logic.
You don't need to throw away the first 29 years of yours because you are a Muslim. Embrace it. Religion and culture are different entities. By becoming a muslim, one does not need to wear and walk like a arab. Be yourself.
That's true but we can wear thobe and turban to emulate the prophet Muhammad SAW which is a sunnah👍

I love how Ali _(from that famous viral video of two afro-american kids having a fight and he randomly walked by, saw the scene, stood between them and stopped the argument)_ is in this little documentary.
That's right. When people of another nationality revert to Islam, they should keep up with it on their own. For information regarding Islam, it's ok if the same is obtained from those who know it, but they should independently be Muslim. Islam is meant for every human being and all are free to join it. What is meant here is that Islam is not to be tied to Arabs only.
I think there is nothing wrong saying redneck Muslim I think its like saying black muslim or arab muslim there is racism in every race as long as you don’t see or treat people differently. I think you are fine.
As a Muslim, your religious convictions need to reflect your way of life and your behaviour towards the rest of the society. Because Islam demands high moral standards.

Idk why there’s some Muslims in the United States of African descent will ask questions of their Muslim brother because he’s white about racism and slavery like he had anything to do with it. To those Muslims I tell them did you not read what Allah said? “{وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَى وَإِنْ تَدْعُ مُثْقَلَةٌ إِلَى حِمْلِهَا لَا يُحْمَلْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ}
No bearer of burdens shall bear another's burden
Ya Muslims, don’t be like the Catholics who believe if the parent is a killer than his child also Carry’s his sin. That is not what the Islamic faith is about.
As a Roman Catholic, I found this to be very interesting. I have a lot of respect for my Muslim brothers and sisters in humanity. Yes, I do pray for them to embrace the fullness of the Truth which is found alone in the Catholic Church, but I also have a lot of respect for them and I acknowledge the fact that they also worship the same God that we, Catholics, do.
Brother open your eyes and your heart to researching what really Islam is. Catholicism is idolatry its not monotheistic on the other hand Islam is strictly monotheistic superstition is a major sin in Islam it'scalled shirk. All the saints that you believe and the trinity is not monotheistism
Thanks for your respect!
But we do not worship Maryum, nor do we worship Jesus, and nor do we worship the Holy Spirit.
We only worship God, the Most High who brought revelation and guidance to many messengers.
We call him Allah, while Jesus called him Elaha/Eloh in Aramaic.(Something Along those Lines)
Peace be upon you.
Both Muslims and Christians that thinks their way is “superior” or “my way is a bit more right than yours” are usually missing the points of spirituality.
Think of religion as a disciplinary practice to get to God, higher power, or enlightenment. So Islam works perfectly for some and doesn’t for some people. Same way, Christianity also doesn’t work for all. Just like some people prefer military style discipline and some require more gentle and some require other methods, spirituality is the same. As a Muslim I appreciate many things as other holy books, Buddhism provides meditation, listening to God, 5 prayers provides reminder, singing in the church provides emotional connections through beautiful chants. All this things are gifted from higher power. So I take it and apply to my life.
Therefore if we are truly in the presence of God, lord only see our actions, deeds, intentions. Not the petty human arguments about whose book got the real facts.
As Edgar Cayce, a spiritual teacher once said “Do your best in the religion that you are practicing”.
@@yabobayo5787 We Muslims don't say our way is superior or slightly right, we say its the ONLY way.
In matter of Religion its easy to argue hours about whos superior and whos right, but when it comes to the true religion Islam, you have no room for arguments, take it or leave. For arguments sake we can go that way but its pointless cuz it doesn’t matter what we think is right or superior way of life, Whats only matters is the way of Life God has chosen for us. Anyone who seeks any other way will be among the losers.

This was an amazing & heartening film. In current times, it's so hard to not be cynical about fellow Americans & see how fear of the Other is so entrenched and made a big resurgence despite decades of movements & messages urging people to think differently. Its good to be reminded there are still people even in our small towns & most conservative areas who are living by example and showing there are constructive ways to come together and respect each other despite our differences by showing what we share in common as humans
Group feeling is everywhere . In every group there is a group and within that group there is a group. We are not perfect and can to improve ourselves. So since you left christianity have you been threaten with death? obviously no. That is positive. Spread this ideal.
Love it. Fantastic coverage, The Atlantic!
