Islam is the truth, dont be blind by the Deception of Satan! I CAN PROVE GOD EXSISTS WITH SCIENCE AND LOGIC MESSAGE ME FOR PROOF! Every inch of hatrid people have towards islam is Directly or Indirectly caused by Satan! Satan wants to lead us all astray and to corrupt our minds with pagonism and Athism. Pagonism by definition is worshiping the creation, money, idols, images, Satan! The true God is unseen, is all powerful, and all The truth, and Good that exsists comes from the True God!

peace

[7emoo]

thanks broo for this information , you are extremely right . Satan he is the problem with us , because he promised our god and told him ,' I will corrupt the anyone who become on the right line ' So we don't need to fight each other , we have to fight the first enemy (( Satan )) . I have dream that we will win Insha Allah .

Great lecture and Mokhtar Maghraoui is a very effective speaker for Muslims. It's amazing how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is misunderstood. Much has been made of the word "Kafir" by misinformed non Muslims. Its Arabic translation is "a person who hides or covers." Its meaning is less insidious than most people think. A Kafir is indeed a non believer, but they must be brought into the fold, to be "uncovered" so they can see the beauty and truth of Islam.

[mustyshake]

I love Mokhtar sooo much!

[philosophicalmuslim]

Mashallah... Jazakom Allah Khar :)

[beezybeez78]

[ilbcnya99]

[j40505]

No thanks, we dont take from a cattle like or predator like self!

[xonealpha]

[Crossfire2009]

Muhammad was the greatest moral example ever! He was so kind and tolerant! He never hurt anyone unless they were waging a war against Islam!

[12ut5]

Crossfire2009, Hhmmmmm. No offense, really, but didn't Muhammad personally behead several hundred men? Wasn't he, also, responsible for the gouging out of the eyes of some people, poets, because they made fun of him? Please correct me if I'm wrong and if I'm not I would like to hear your response. I would like to say, however, that I was pleased to watch this short video and not hear that infidels and kaffirs are to blame for Muslims' problems and must be converted or killed. That was nice.

[moorejr1400]

you have been reading waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much ibn warraq, robert spencer, ayaan hirsi ali, daniel pipes,etc, don't believe everything that you read,especially from islam haters.

[12ut5]

moorejr1400, I just READ your comment. Why should I believe, therefore, anything that you wrote in it, especially the part about equating criticism with hatred? Hhmmmmm.

[moorejr1400]

HMMMMM, I'm saying it too, outside looking with a prejudice view CAN and WILL distort your concept of what you learn. For instance, can you learn Jewish Culture, Afro American Culture or history from the KKK or Neo-Nazis? They are going to distort it for sure, but learn jewish history from a respected Rabbi or Black history from a black scholar like Karnel West, Henry Gates Jr, or someone who is unbiased in islams case Bruce Lawrence, Karen Armstrong, John Esposito, and see the difference.

[12ut5]

moorejr1400, Very poor analogy to compare Ali, Spencer, etc., to the KKK, etc. It suggests yours, not their view of things, is distorted. It sounds like you're a person who considers those who agree with you "unbiased" and those who don't, biased. Convenient. If Esposito receives funding from Muslim sources, which he does, shouldn't that cast doubt on HIS objectivity? According to your logic no male writer should ever write a book about a female character. Sorry, I'm keeping my Anna Karenina.

[moorejr1400]

If you want to live a LIE, fine, you can accuse me all you want that these people claim that is islamic while i will not do it in the first place, so i am living it and guess who isn't? If you make people sound negative with progaganda techniques then that is not how you indicate truth. Yes a male can write about a female, but not a misyngist because his information will be corrupted, so if you do read it from him, you have to seperate truth from fact, the same too these "so called scholars"

[12ut5]

moorejr1400, Look. It's much simpler. There's only one way for people like yourself to prove all the Alis and Spencers of the world wrong (only one). Dedicate your lives, even risk them, opposing all those Muslims who say (and act on) precisely what the Alis and Spencers say Islam is. Do this and your concern about the critics of Islam will take care of itself; don't do it, and it won't matter how much, or how many of, you complain. There's no other way. It's much too late for anything less.

[moorejr1400]

If you want to DELIBERATELY LIVE BY INCORRECT AND TWISTED INFORMATION, I DONT CARE, YOU CAN SAY ALL THE STUFF YOU WANT, BUT EACH TIME SO SAY IT, I WILL CALL IT WRONG AND FOOLISH! Sure let those fools say what that wish even if they claim Elvis Presely in mentioned in the quran, I have every right to challenge them, and those who are attacking islam with the lack of knowledge of it and try to make it what they claim it to be, taliban and alkaida idiots are not left out.

[12ut5]

moorejr1400, Challenge away, but 1 Muslim proclaiming the need to subjugate all other religions, and working toward toward that, or walking into a crowd of non-Muslim shoppers, or whatever, and deliberately blowing them to bits, followed by a billion other Muslims sitting on their hands or protesting teddy bears instead, will always speak louder than you or any number of you ever can. You're saying Islam is like this or like that. The "idiots" are showing us how it is. Who's going to win?

[moorejr1400]

12ut5, or what ever that suppose to mean, that one mulsim is a fool, and he does not understand his religion, i do unfortunately run into so called muslims with WARPED UNDERSTANDING of islam and quran, and in the mosque, try to correct him! Teddy bear incident, saudi rape case, adultery case, they are acting up, to be blunt, BUT YOUR MEDIA LOVES TO SHOW PEOPLE THESE MUSLIMS AND MAINSTREAM MUSLIMS GET NO ATTENTION!!! you dont see REAL ISLAM in the media, but burning flags and death to israel!!!

[12ut5]

has concluded that it is more likely than not that, in the next 5 yrs., somewhere in the world, there will be a terrorist attack using biological or nuclear weapons. What do you think the rest of the world will think about Islam when that happens? Who do you think is going to listen to you, then, or after that, when you try to say that Islam is nice if all the Ummah, really, continues to gets upset about is cartoons and children's toys or something bad done by Muslims against other Muslims?

[12ut5]

done against cartoons and children's toys, against your so called idiots, unless those idiots were only targeting other Muslims? On the weekend, in a newspaper in Kuwait, a Muslim journalist, Khaled al-Jenfawi, wrote: "Unfortunately, we have yet to see a distinguished popular condemnation in traditional Arab or Muslim communities that strongly rejects what is happening in the name of Islam." There was something else worth mentioning in the news, today: a report

[moorejr1400]

Noticed you mentioned kuwait, a country with alience with, WESTERN CONTROLLED MEDIA!!!! which makes it no different from hearing from robert spencer, katie couric, etc. So that didn't help. What about all this muslim news papers, websites, that are condemning acts of terror in the name of islam, in fact, read this book: Who Speaks for Islam that should straiten you out.

[12ut5]

moorejr1400, I'm going to stop playing with you now. You make me laugh. All you, and other Muslims like you, will ever do is say "Yes, but." "Yes, Kuwait is a Muslime country, but it's controlled by western media." "Yes, Muslim media condemn the attacks, but India isn't perfect." No kidding the US sided with Iraq against Iran. Never heard that. Can't be true. You're such a joke. Where's the same condemnation of your idiots as there was of a teddy bear? With people like you, it'll never happen.

[moorejr1400]

you are playing? gee the game hasn't started yet!!! Kuwait is NOT a muslim country and that is the truth, in fact, THERE IS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUSLIM COUNTIRES THERE IS NO SHARIA LAW REALLY BEING IMPLIMENTED HERE AND MANY LAWS ARE SECULAR SINCE THE FALL OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE, disagree? talk to John L. Esposito, Karen Armstrong, Bruce Lawrence, Yahya Emerick, Abdullah Hakim Quick, etc. YOU ARE A JOKE AND YOU SHOULD START YOUR ON SITCOM, CALLED THE "12UT5 SHOW" PRIME TIME/8 O' CLOCK/7 CENTURAL!!!

[12ut5]

moorejr1400, It is good that you, yourself, correct, but I read this in a newspaper today by someone writing about Mumbai: "I am...hoping - just once - for that mass demonstration of 'ordinary people' [ordinary Muslims] against the...[terrorists]." Hindus in India, today, did that. Have Muslims, anywhere, done it yet? Do you think any, anywhere, ever will? Where, in fact, have there been any similar protests, by Muslims, even once, like they've

[moorejr1400]

Yes! muslim media that i have read condemn the attacks, however, you have to realized the the idian government is not an angel in this either and it is responsible for the hardships of many muslims reciding in india and the us once against loves to back up corrupt systems where these governments suppresed its people, iraq is just one example, did the us help sadam hussain and their are even reports of us selling weapons to iraq, the media will show you angry pakistanis not muslims against it.

[hannahr77]

5They (muslim) are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. 6We (CHRISTIANS) are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.

[bluecafe22]

Wow, why do all of these people look like me? Are they mixed?

I like what he's saying!

[wwwMeccaCentricCom]

"And the servants of God Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, 'peace!'" (Qur'an 25:63)

[hannahr77]

mecca

and that's why muslims are killing everything that moves and also raping anything that moves even little children and get away with it in the name of allah and muhammad because he set a perfect example

[mahmodakurd]

people like u never semm to reflect and think realistically about things. I am certain that you have never studied the life of the prophet or read the Quran and yet u r so quick to judge and insult

[hannahr77]

mahmo

yes I have read abt your not so wounderful prophet and that's why I choose Christianity anytime over islam, islam will wear it self out and voila one day it will utterly disappear, like so many nations before it

[mahmodakurd]

Islam has been around since the creation of man its is the essence of the truth found in all devine revelations/ religions. its a fact that islam is the fastest growing religion in the world especially in EUrope, Us and the rest of the non-musl;im world. what u choose is ur business but do not insult a prophet of GOD. God the independent needs none. U need him. GOD bless and guide u closer to the truth.

[hannahr77]

mahmo

islam has not ben around for more than abt 1400 yrs And I really could careless if islam is the fastest growing religion it is not and will never be a true religion it's from satan period so it only goes to show that ppl prefer satan over GOD

[Tothose]

hannahr77 Brother on that day u will know .and it has to be. in my opinion but things that I have seen in Christians not all but most they are not religious but they only become religious when dealing with Muslims specially .or some time Atheists. But if u see their life it's just opposite of what Jesus the Christ Taught. He said thou shall not commit Adultery but everyone in westerns supports idea sex Adultery is OK. They only celebrate Holidays but not follow the teachings of Jesus the Christ.

[hannahr77]

tothose

I really don't know from where you have this that all the Christians are adulterous? And all muslims are as pure as snow really now get real and stop lying it's a sin according to GOD maybe not so much with allah, and the things I have seen in islam is from satan to say the least

[Abdillahimohamed]

Good luck with evolution, I hope the apes will transform into humans, when they do I will believe in evolution.

[iconblaster]

I think religion is a joke but I think this Rabbi has a right to express his views.

[LookingForParadise]

First of All ,he is not a Rabbi, we are talking about Islam not jews, so he is an Islamic leader may be.Well, It is not a joke since 20,000 Americans convert to Islam every year. Think about your purpose in this life? why you cannot foresee what the future is? how are we created?...May Allah lead you to the right path.

[iconblaster]

I know where we came from. I have read extensively about human evolution. It is fascinating, much more so than the accounts in the Quran or the Bible. I know that he isn't a Rabbi; I was just balls. As to life's purpose, that is for everyone to decide on their own.

[LookingForParadise]

Hi dear, I agree that for everyone to decide on their on, but as a society we can advise each other, right? And my advice to you is read more and more for the truth.Again religion is not a joke, there must be one creator and one religion, and on you the decision...It is very easy, just have patient for. Cheer up, you can make it. I am here for any question :)

[hannahr77]

sultan

funny but in africa alone millions have came to know CHRIST as their personal SAVIOUR and also in the islamic is there ppl turning to JESUS CHRIST for help and SAVALTION which is not found in islam period islam is a religion of hate and therefore it's a dead religion. Just how many are being healed in the name of allah non whereas ppl are being healed in the name of JESUS

[mahmodakurd]

Hannahr77
