Dr. Tawfik Hamid - "The Roots of Jihad" 6/6

[shineworld24]

this amazing person...he is speaking the truth

[PunjabiGabroo01]

Till you don't read history you would no real idea about Islam. Islam is basically a violent religion and what it calls is a submission to god - is really submission to Islam. BY FORCE or othewise.

Afghanistan, Pakistan were Buddhist, Hindu countries. Today there is hardly a Hindu/Buddhist in these countries. WHY ? They were forced and slaughtered. And all made MUSLIMS. SO much so that even today when they convert- Even Hamid Karzai does not accept thier conversion. Despite taking billions west

[rhd92781]

Let the truth be out!

[ramsassiva]

GOD BLESS FOR YOUR COURAGE & I HOPE MUSLIMS FIND THE TRUTH

[ramsassiva]

• REFORMED EX - TERRORIST SPEAKS TRUTH OF ISLAM - I HOPE POOR LOST MUSLIMS FIND THE TRUE FAITH - THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SALVATION IS JESUS CHRIST

[middimar]

great great man, finally someone puts down like it is, and that someone is a former terrorist, making it even harder to refute. US knows there are problems with Saudi Arabia's export of Wahhabism into europe and US, but still chose to be idle, very sad.

[leoaltus]

Aside from the bit about the terrorists wanting to kill themselves because they are eternally horny and can't pull, I agree with everythinggggggggggggggggggg I hear on this interview from this man. Thanx for the upload!

[leoaltus]

He speaks about teaching of wahabism aka salafism which promotes terrorism and some other wrong stuff, and not Islam the religion. Wahabism is an islamic teaching i.e it is a school of thought and interpretation of the religion. It's mainly funded by Saudi Arabia as he says. I see many commenters found a chance to say what they want about Islam the religion without understanding what the Dr. is actually talking about. Less haste. :) Peace

[philsci1]

(continued) Tawfik Hamid is definitely one of these...Although I personally argue that islam needs much more important reforms (quite many key parts of the qur'an should be marked clearly as wrong by the consensus of the islamic scholars themselves; the claim of some, rather arbitrarily, that the violent, discriminatory parts etc are valid only in the historical context is not enough) I definitely welcome all the attempts which try to really pacify islam once for ever...

[philsci1]

It's definitely not enough to claim that islam is 'misunderstood' (and be peaceful at the moment, even accept some progressive interpretations) to deserve the label 'moderate'. The real muslim moderates should be able to think critically, support full secularism, openly condemn the indefensible errors of the past (dhimmitude, the many jihadic conquests etc) and reject the interpretations of those who want sharia influence the legislation...

[askmewhoknows]

am surprised well done.

[schvayschkel]

as arab we have never heard about jihad against the infidels we have never learnt to fight the west untile de occupation of israel .

even during the war against the colonisators we were not adopting an islamic speech .

the islamist speech has emerged after having seen the big amount of hatred against us from the west because of their support to israel and to arabic dictatorship

[schvayschkel]

1 the west has brought jews from europe to palestinee and killing the real owners of the land .

2 the west supports israel against the arabs .

3 the west give all the support to the arabe dictatorship and preventing the arabe people from electing their president dimocratically . so after all that my question to the western is : what do they expect from the arabs?

do they want us to dance to them? to love them?

[masehi100]

@schvayschkel but the pervert mohamed supported the killing by inventing satanic verses and the stupid who believe him carries on the killing falsly believing rewards of sex with 72 virgins ( HOW STUPID ARE THESE MUSLIMS )

[schvayschkel]

@masehi100 @masehi100 son of bitch you are so stupid to understand the coranic verses firstly u have to learn Arabic secondly you have to learn more about your religion thirdly u have to see where is your mother right now because she is probably with her lover in your father's bed room so i do not need to talk about religion with a gay like you

[masehi100]

@schvayschkel SALMAN RUSHDI was right about the pervert mohamed and his satanic verses ,tell your mum she is going to be one of 72 prostitute in paradise serving sex for the terrorist HAHAHA , poor son you and your mum could be having sex together in paradise and pervert mohamed will be watching and laughing.

[catveezle]

if all muslims were as truth-seeking and willing to question the intolerance they are being fed by zealots as this couragious man is, then the much needed reform of islam would be well under way.

also, the only way for moderate western muslims to demonstrate their solidarity with pluralist democracies, is for them to put pressure on their religious leaders to denounce the likes of hamas hezbollah bin laden openly and in public, and themselves repudiate & denounce discriminatory intolerant sharia

[lynred84]

WoW this guy is unstoppable!

[nameurself]

@souleaterfan14 I believe muslims like you are disgrace, so called passive terrorist!! you are calling disgrace to the one and only muslim who is openly admitting and explaining that most of the islam teachings in most part of the world's are false and violent. Now if you and ur so called peaceful muslims aren't gonna show any good examples of true muslims by coming out and protesting against ur fellow jihadis, we rest of the world will have no choice but to label you all as terrorist too!

[agentZambia]

This guy affirmed by belief that in general all people are good. Note he did not insult his religion, but correctly articulated how its being misinterpreted by psychopaths. He has the courage to speak out against the nuts who think killing people or converting people by force makes you cool with God. Excellent piece, we need more people like this coming out denouncing Islamic terrorism. Simple thougt: God's messengers give different paths to realization, the destination is the same.

[abdelwareth01]

This guy is a genius

[todgor]

The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books, though the radical movement scratched out human faces in keeping with its strict fundamentalist code.

[todgor]

In the twilight of the Cold War, the United States spent millions of dollars to supply Afghan schoolchildren with textbooks filled with violent images and militant Islamic teachings, part of covert attempts to spur resistance to the Soviet occupation.

[hottfats]

For those who think less of us, let them be, for they look at us through the eyes of Jealousy,

For I am an Infidel, and proud to be, rather than one living a life of hate and hypocrisy...

[titus0123]

Thank you Dr. Tawfik Hamid for your clear explanation that the root cause of all violence and killing by terrorists, is the teaching of islam, which teach to kill and your reward is sex in paradise ... can anyone believe in this filth, islam ?

[xceedchaos]

right im atheist.

i dont like religions at all.

but i want peace with religions

BUT I WILL NOT ACCEPT PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE BEATING WOMEN, LET ALONE YOUR WIFE - IS ACCEPTABLE. END OF DISCUSSION.

[statickk14]

This guy is brilliant. He is calling a Spade, a spade. Islam needs to be self critical and the moderate Muslims need to speak out.

[LIVERLADD]

God that host just wouldn`t except what hes saying thats the one thing i hate about some people who are liberal they just don`t want to hear that it wasn`t or isn`t our fault. 5/5 thanks for uploading this

[DescryMind]

I wouldn't call the host a liberal because I see he clammed up and got offensive because of something. To me liberal means keeping an open mind and listening closely for the truths and liberating yourself through self examination of those truths and discarding the wrong according to experience. But The host here is not trying to break down any barriers. He's taking something personal. And its NOT personal. Its simply a revelation of the truth. We should embrace this truth and be glad it...

[DescryMind]

was exposed to us. Its part of learning. This is why confession can lead to understanding and great teaching. We shouldn't be ashamed of making mistakes while we were ignorant. We must discuss it openly so others dont make the same mistakes. Its a lot to swallow when we realize we had control all along but we were mislead by traditions and beliefs. Most of us concider beliefs to be something that is true but unseen. When in actuality, belief means to see for yourself. Not by another's word.

[12ut5]

it's, largely, the techings stupid 00:45-

[CrazyGuy663]

for more radical islam, watch obsessionthemovie dot com

[wildq80]

after 20 years of evaluation today I am convinced there is definitely issue with that man talking

[avinashy]

after 1 year of evaluation today I am convinced there definitely is issue with the islamic teachings. Thank you doctor.

[DescryMind]

The Dr did mention that there are other forms of Islamic teaching and not all forms of them require you to strap bombs to yourself, or beat your wife, or have sex with young kids, for any reason. The islamic religeon is going through some divisions. And those with a kind heart will expose these truths. It is taking its course.

And notice how this form of teaching islam, they target doctors in medical school who help people. They try to destroy those that do good to help people. Double wammy.
