  • Ignorant ass republican

  • I forgot what it was . . but Reza said some things during other youtube debates that clearly "Blew his cover" . .i.e., showed me that he is Evil and Dangerous. What I call an "Articulate Incompetent". He's got the gift of gab and when he uses PROfOUNDLY big words is bound to impress some who are not looking to the content of what he says but only the form. If you want to get a clearer picture view his debates on youtubte with Sam Harris (a "true" genius) and also with Ayaan Hirsi Ali (a hero).

  • Let me tell you something Mr Aslan.

    No Matter how many big words you use and how articuletly you speak, you are stilll not that smart because you are still deluded and believe in a GOD!

    Belief in a god is equel to still being stuck in the fairytales and bull shit storys that our ancestors made up for themselves from the time when they also used to believe that the earth was the centre of the universe.

    My friend no matter what you say as long as you still believe in god you are still asleep

  • Religion has always been used as tool to fool ordinary people into submission. Democracy, freedom are all BS from West. There are no real democracy. UK-US used Islam to fool Iranian people to oust Shah for their economical interests. I hope some day this pervert Aslan studies his Iranian-Persian rich history and culture instead of promoting vicious Islamic beliefs who has destroyed beautiful Iran since 1400 years ago. Islam is a political ideology that is dangerous to human kind!

  • At the same time the Wahhabis began in Arabia, Shaykh Ahmad left to go to Persia, where his teachings prepared the way for the Bab and Baha'u'llah

    So Wahhabism was not the only new trend.

    One was the fruit of the infernal tree (another rejection of Revelation);

    and one was the Blessed Tree of Revelation

  • Mr. Reza Aslan, so-called flag bearer of moderate Islam, is a snake oil salesman. He is an agent of the Islamic republic of Iran and a very deceitful Islamist. Iranian Mullahs perhaps implanted this deceiver only to fool American public so he is beating the drum of so called moderate Islam. But stealthily he is lobbying for the Islamists of Iran. Most Iranian-Americans do not like him. Americans should guard themselves from the stealth jihadists like Reza Aslan.

  • Iran is in this shit partly because of what Jimmy Carter & the evil Brits did to Iran by actively overthrowing the moderniser Shah & staging the mad MULLAH's so-called Islamic revolution and partly because there R too many ASSHOLES like this faggot Aslan Afshar. USA too soon will be in deep shit for welcoming pro-Islamist mother fu.cker CUNTS like Reza Aslan Hamid Dabashi Trita Parsi Houshang Amir-Ahmadi Rashid Khalidi Mullah Kadivar & others. Americans R their own worst enemies.

  • american tv is owned by jews kiss my muslim ass

  • long live islam allahu akbar

  • @wewewahid, Fu.ck Islam the religion of hate death pain & destruction. Mohammed May PISSSSS be upon his filthy grave was an imposter a pedofile a war monger a murderer & a shameless liar.

  • @fraizer57 good luck with that long live islam

  • Good insights, with intricate thoughtful ideas...just learned about you from last nights ABC program here in Australia and loved every bit of it!! Good on ya mate!

  • is reza aslan himself religious?

  • @gunit8590 I'm pretty sure he is, I mean do you expect every Muslim scholar out there to have a big beard and a turban and arab clothing? As soon as you have a Muslim Scholar who's clean-shaven, wearing a suit and tie, many people question his religiosity, I mean what's on the outside doesn't matter nearly as much as what's on the inside, you can show the world how 'religious' you are on the outside but you can be a total jerk on the inside and it works either way.

  • @themuslimburro

    no im religious myself and i know many modern scholars...and muslims

    but u cant never be sure what intention someone has

  • @gunit8590 but you should never always think the worst in people though.

  • @themuslimburro

    i like the guy ,he is clever

  • @gunit8590 Yes he is.

  • Check us out. New site for Iran related news and information by Reza Aslan.

  • muhammeds "9 year old" wife was probably around 18-19 upon further research.

    polygamy is a choice. noone should demonize it.

  • could u Pls point me to that research?

  • i belive the song at the end of the video is nazila you can google search her name or you tube it and youll find and interview with her

  • I am so delighted to have 'discovered' you, and your work. I lived in Iran in the 1960s and early 70s...as an American teenager. How I love that country - and the generous, kind people who call it home. Thank you, thank you, for wisdom, and spirit.

  • Reza is hotter than anyone else on Bill Maher.

  • knows anyone thisss sooong!!!! please tell!!!!

  • This isn't a cover of the classic T-Rex song at all! Boo! hiss!!

  • yeah i need this song too at the end. does anyone know the title of this song

  • im kinda confused with what this guy wants to reform, Islam? or certain muslim ideologies?

  • think Martin Luther with Christianity...

  • that is the stupidest thing i ever heard, Islam needs no change (not to mention it is forbidden) but if he is talking about a kind of renewal (like tariq ramadan) than there is nothing wrong with that

  • Here is what really happened: tinyurl(dot)com/5ebcjz

    Google: "A Century Of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order"

  • brilliance!!!

  • does anyone know when the documentary will be released?

  • i've been in contact with the director... they are still working hard, and a release date likely won't be set until they are done filming (whenever that may be)...

  • can somebody please please tell me where can i find the iRANIAN Rap at the end of this clip??

  • Thanks

  • reza is a BEAST

  • Thank you... Thank you for spreading the Truth! We must continue this battle against Satan, his dogma, cult, and diciples...

  • Punhchy ... just what the doctor ordered.

    Thanks for putting this together

  • I adore that man. <3 I love listening to him speak.

    I'm off to check out BoomGen.

  • i just got done reading " No God but God' by Reza Aslan. Its a phenomenal insight into the true Islamic meaning and its evolution over the course of 1500 hundred yrs with Wahabism an ideological offshoot founded in the 17th century unfortunatley been taken as the dominant message and being the eventual inspiration to all the terrorists in the world. Its a must read for everyone.We definitley need more voices and representation such as Reza in the world. God bless him....

  • @hydrostic You R a brainless CUNT. Islam is a destructive idiology. Only fools & uneducated jerks would listen to Islam.

  • @fraizer57 It isnt ure fault that u chose to use such filthy language..its just ure upbringin..tell ure mama i'm comin there and spanking her for that..lie down and take her pants down...

  • What I love about Reza is his absolute dedication to reformation and the idea of Democracy taking precedence in a clash between Politics and Religion. The 15th Century Christian reform was bloody business, and the process is taking place once again.

  • This man is the only man I've seen that makes any sense on religion. Reza is the "word" that should be preached...

  • @jizamie U too R also an idiot.

  • @fraizer57 You are obviously a naive individual.

  • @jizamie, In what way? This jerk Reza is a traitor in the pocket of the Mullahs. He is a known disgraced lobbyist

    that no Iranians likes. Iran is in this mess is because there R traitors like Reza trying to humanize an evil terrorist Mafia idiology. So why am Naive?

  • reza is my hero

  • Yeah. The song at the end was actually pretty interesting!!!

  • Very interesting. I hope what Reza says is true and it comes to fruition before some of our war hungry leaders here in America make it a moot point.

  • this author, Reza, was on real time with bill Maher.

  • A wonderful video. I applaud Reza Aslan on his hard work and his intelligent insight to the Islamic world. I really think more Westerners need to hear him.

  • Well done. To a better tomorrow for all of us!

  • Reza, will you marry me?

  • ily reza.

  • MahMashti, thanks for this film in progress and the BoomGen website. This appreciation of your positive energy and committment is coming from an atheist.

    MahMashti has provided info on the song in an earlier comment--read them, making sure you select expand comments (I tried to cut and paste that comment but exceeded the allowed characters from stingy youtube).

  • can you tell me who the song is by? I would really liek to listen to it or something thanks!

  • reza for president love you man

  • We need more of reza among us.

  • hello everybody!

    that's a great song at the end of the clip (starts at13:17)...does anyone know the name of the song or the band? ...what are they singing about, anyone understands the language??

    thanks.

  • the language is farsi.

  • it s avery nice video... verythoughtfull, impressive, true...

  • that, was amazing.

  • what is the song at the end of the video?

  • Reza Aslan.. this is the real voice of muslims. real muslims. Thank you for going out. going and preaching the real thoughts of our brothers and sisters.

  • WOW

    well done reza

  • Muslims are now going through what our Jewish grandparents went through in a not to distant past. These bigoted christian extremists have been preaching their hatred for a long time. This Project is a sign of the maturity of the Muslim immigrant population. Things will get better. Seeing this makes me believe in the potential for peace.

  • Outstanding! Well spoken! I see things in a completely new light thanks to this young man! Brilliant spread the word as it could help stem the tide of agression!

  • Awesome!

    Many thx Reza!

  • Thank you so much for posting this.

    I love you, Reza!!

  • Islamic democracy is only a cheap joke!! There were the "intelectual" of this calibre that in 1979 made a "god" out of Khomeiny. Iran is full of them...they lie to themselves, try to convince theselves of this lie, therefore they need to convice others. I think, in way, they are worst than Mullahs:

  • Here's a tip: next time you're going to try and act smart, don't spell words wrong.

  • Those people at the beginning of the video those Christian fundamentalists have no right talking about Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) being a pedophile(which he wasn't), when their entire church including the ones closest to the pope were caught fucking little boys.

  • Yes, he was...according to the western values.

  • I completely agree,

    those fundamental christian conservatives are no different than the jihadists (kill all muslim students in the states, ridiculing their spiritual leader).

    I really respect Reza Aslan.

    If I were a muslim in the West, I would have been comletely fed up by the biased media portrayal of the islamic faith and how the public is getting hypocritical and letting such extremly conservative, offensive remarks from the evangelicals get away.

  • thats so true..I hate those christain extermists....

  • Agreed. That man has no right to talk when such things as Lot sleeping with his two daughters is present in the Christian bible.

  • What a surprised that Mr. Aslan wants us all to unite behind "Project Iraq"!!

    Price=Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians' lives and a destroyed and destabilized country and region.

  • He was my professor at the University of Iowa... believe me, he's not as pro-Iraq War as you think... but now that we're there, he sees a valuable opportunity to construct Iraq such that it's not only viable to the West but that it markers that desired instrumentation in which a slow but sure movement towards moderation takes hold among the more conservative Arab demographic relative to the Iranians (Persians) who are much secular and westernized...

  • Mr. Aslan's appeasement of Western Imposed Democracy as a solution sounds a lot like a banner for certain political factions in this country. Perhaps along with the book deal he received a membership at AEI.

    Dr. Dabashi a famous scholar warned us of some of the Western published books by Iranian writers. His specific example was Azar Nafisi's "Reading Lolita in Tehran".

  • im super jealous. I have a HUGE intellectual crush on him.

  • i like the song at the end... does anyone know where i can listen to it?

  • The song at the end is by a 20 yr old girl from Tehran. She has not been recorded. If you visit my blog on http://boomgen.org, from time to time, I will be putting up links and songs by different underground musicians in the Middle East including Iran.

  • thank you! ill visit your blog in a while! XD

  • Bravo Reza...glad to see you've grown so much and descontruct this information in such an intelligent way.

  • You may want to consider that it maybe you and I that is out of touch with the realities of what's going on in the minds and hearts of the millions of ordinary peaceful people living in the world. We are far more likely to be susceptible to the perversions caused by war and strife, and the biased media from which we draw out conclusions. What Mr. Aslan says is not very unique and confirmed by many other respected religous scholars such as Houston Smith and Karen Armstrong.

  • I respectfully disagree. It seems to me that Mr. Aslan gets his optimism from the study of history. The Middle East is filled with ordinary peace and freedom loving people, virtues are not unique to any geographical location. Reform is natural and will occure. This is not a naive outlook, rather history has yet to prove otherwise.

  • This guy speaks as if he is representing all 70 million people in Iran. He talks about Muslims uniting for a common cause in Iraq, where there is no common cause in Iraq. He is naive and a dreamer, not in touch w the realities on the ground in Iran or in Iraq.

  • he's assessment of Iran is nearly spot on... open a book, read some statistics... the Iranian population is DOMINATED by rebellious youth (including nearly all my cousins) who are westernized and generally secular by nature... and thus, anti-clerical oligarchy...

  • i love reza aslan, such and intelligent scholar with a fresh and rationale perspective on islams and religion as a whole.

  • Fantastic. Its truly exciting to finally have a sophisticated, intelligent & modern representation of the Iran we all know and love. I find your work to be truly inspiring and moving.  Can't wait to see the rest.

  • Yes, finally.

  • Excellent job! I was curious the song at the end, who sings that?

  • genius

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you....can't wait to see more!!!!

  • finally.

  • That was great! I can't wait to see the final film. We need more voices like Reza Aslan and more filmmakers like you.

  • I am 22 years old muslim from Sweden. Your subject Aslan is very good. He is not as famous in Europe. I look forward to meeting the other subjects of your documentary film. I feel very good when watching this.

  • You've done it again! Being a child of revolution myself, living through 7 years of it, age 6-13, I can totally relate! This is great and can't wait to see the final product. No one has really told the story of my generation and I hope that this documentary will make that a reality.
