Good, I like that you share this video Interview with Shaykh Hamza Yusuf Hanson. Apologies for the quality it's been ripped from VHS, I wish success always
@LOOKWITHIN the prophet, saws, also used to say that the arabs, if they followed the religion properly, would be the best believers, so don't generalize..you can't take bits and pieces of the sayings, but you should read widely to get better understandng of the Prophet's way of speaking, what he intended by his speech, etc.
@SlowY00 It's the format of the show. It's called 'Hard Talk'. The journalist is meant to be quite harsh and force direct answers out of the guest. The role of the journalist on this show is to be an 'attacker' and not a sympathetic listener.
That being said, the only time she really interrupts him is when he gives a cliché portrayal of the West as addicted to drugs, asking him to justify it.
@LOOKWITHIN if u are accusing the Muslims then know that they are human n ought to make mistake,but Islam is perfect n u can never find flaws in it,the Prophet s.a.w has said not to lie even if u are joking..why do u point fingers at those who make mistakes and why dont you see at good practising Muslims who are always mindful in their smallest detail of life,even when i was not a Muslim,i was taught to respect other people's believe,and not to propagate lie about other religion like u!
Muslims always lie. According to Islam its ok, as long as you do it for Allah. Its called Taqiyya. What they are doing is making it seem like the Quran and Islam are peaceful. Then when they're powerful they'll bring back stoning women to death, chopping off hands and killing apostates. Its all part of the game. You have to lie at the beginning when you are weak otherwise you will be shut down. Afterwards you can show your true face and do whatever you want.
It's cute. When you see contemptible individuals as yourself, talking about Islamic tenats when, let's be honest, you've never even read the Koran. Have you..? Did you finish it? I didn't think so.
Taqiyya, in Shi'a islam - actually says that if you are being tortured for example, you may deny that you're a Muslim in order to save yourself. It says nothing about lying to convert, for example. You've already embarrased yourself, so I'll deny further comment.
@BelfastAtheist You know yourself how utterly boring and stupid that book is. Nobody ever finishes it. You fall asleep after reading like two pages. But I have read enough to know that it is not the word of god. The message of the Quran is obvious. It does not require a rocket scientist to decipher it. In very clear language and on almost every page it instructs observant Muslims to despise, belittle, subjugate or kill nonbelievers. So you are either ignorant or playing Taqiyya.
My dear sir, don't get me wrong. The Quran is among the most boring Holy Texts I've ever read, very little more than an anthology of tales concering local squabbles and fights for power on again, a local basis. Not forgetting the fact tht it also happens to be a chaotic mix of plagarisms from the very worst parts of Judaism and Christianity - as well at many points copying passages from the Torah and Bible blatantly, as well as from various other sources.
It's awful, truly awful. The plagarism is what really gets me though. You wouldn't catch me in a million years saying I have respect for Islam itself as a religion - I regard it as what it is - a desperate mix of plagarisms of much stronger and indeed somewhat nobler religions.
Your comment though, appears to be a red herring... the koran does preach distrust and even violence against the infidels. What does this have to do with Taqiyya...?
I don't know precisely what you're calling me ignorant of. I called you ignorant of the concept of Taqiyya, a reasonable claim I would have thought. Then you went on a cliched and irrelevant rant about the Korans attitudes towards infidels.
This has nothing to do with Taqiyya, which stipulates - if you are under duress - you may deny that you are a Muslim in order to save yourself. What does this have to do with infidels exactly..?
Muslim Clerics and apologists, have a lot of dishonest people in their ranks. The Clerical class that is sponsored by Saudi Arabia for example - will routinely lie about what it teaches. This is to be expected from any sort of Clerical class - but the popular misconception that Al-Taqiyya says you can lie to convert, is a false one. You called the Koran boring.. you didn't tell me if you've read it. Now I see why.
@BelfastAtheist Taqiyya doesn't just mean hiding your faith under threat. It also means lying for a greater good. That's what this asshole Muslim cleric Hamza Yusuf is doing for exactly the reasons I explained in my first comment. Mohammad also said the Christians and Jews are friends while he was in Mecca and was weak. When he moved to Madina he changed his policies towards them and said they are fuel for the fire so slay them where ever you find them. This is why the Quran contradicts itself.
@L00KWITHIN the fact that you made this argument just shows you're not being original but using recycled claims. The Prophet SAW never generalised about all of them. Why don't you read the MADNI (revealed in Medina) surahs like Chapter 3-5. The Quran tells the Jews to follow their book properly and not their own vain desires. The jews/christians who follow the teachings of the Old and New testaments are our friends. The false followers exist in all 3 religions and are trouble causers.
@L00KWITHIN an example is zionists who are not being true to the teachings in their book. The same can be said for extremist muslims who treat women harshly and believe in global jihad. These people are nothing but trouble. Prophet Mohammad SAW often used to say 'woe to the Arabs'......why? it was because of their evil actions. so he was hardly praising his own people either. If you cannot see this then more fool you.
Quran: Jesus was created from God's will, compares creation of Jesus with the creation of Adam, where God created Adam by His act of will (kun-fa-yakun, "Be & it is"). According to the Quran, the same answer was given to the question of Zechariah
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be" And he was. إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُۥ مِن تُرَابٍۢ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
@87Philips Reality? OK how able some real REALISM....evolution is theory, compiled by a man. You really think we started off as an amoeba/cell and coincidentally out of coincidental planetary events that coincidentally came together in perfect coincidental chemistry that we human beings came to be today, the most complex organisms on this planet... No, wakeup, look around you, you think this was because of evolution? Wake up.
@isaidthisok Yes I do believe this, because the evidence is OVERWHELMING. Maybe there was some kind of guiding hand controlling evolution or something, I dont know, but it def happened, we can see the evidence everywhere. Why do we have inactivated genes for growing a tail, tell me? And the ancient Quran talks about Adam and Eve, clearly in error
Too funny, this guy is saying the 'real' problem is we here in the west don't understand the muslim world. But then with his drugs comment it is obvious he also doesn't understand the west. The 2 sides don't want to understand each other but they want the other side to submit to their will. Here is something to understand when you have a problem with someone else don't use violence or at least don't be surprised when the other side uses violence back.
Hamza you rock!! Your intelligence and understanding of human nature and its expressions are superlative! I think that if the Arab Muslims were Americans and Europeans, and they the arabs in palestine and othe places (the underdog) the story would have been different.
BBC you have an obligation to solve these problems but all we see is the BIASED BROADCASTING CO OPERATION!!!! No disrespect but that's facts especially when information is widely available!!!! Clean up and show truth please!!!!
What a joke, president bush is fighting Jihad against mujaheddin? this is the same 'Shaykh' that called the dead 9/11 firefighters "shaheed". He is a munafiq, from everything I understand.
This guy doesn't know shit about Islam. I hate people who convert and who want to tell Muslims about their religion. You ask Hamza something about Islam and he stats talking about planet life lol Muslims are too busy chasing money women and fame they do not have the time to stop and really listen to their religion or this exaggerated "scholar". This Hamza guy knows nothing about Islam if he didnot promote himself, no one would know about him.
drugs are not forbidden in Islam and Wine is not Haram in heaven in Islam! Your moslim brothers in Afghanistan have opium bussiness and making money by someone else addiction, drug is more distructive than wine and alcohol!
subhan-allah this stupid munafiq is protecting george bush and his saying of crusade, Allah SWT made bush expose himself to the muslims and this dog is covering him up.
Most muslims are peaceful people, but Islam is the most violent religion ever. I was a muslim for 5 years, and I studied in Morocco. Anyone who knows the Qur'an and the Hadith know this. Because I left the religion, the Hadith mandates capital punishment. Fuck off.
@ashburnhouse so does every other abrahamic holy book. The new testament is the most ''peaceful'' one but still... filled with violent imagery, especially when it comes to the trials of Jesus. Life on this earth is violent my friend.
@ashburnhouse Most religions put to death those that left the religion. I also lived in Egypt where there were stated cases of Copts who murdered their children because they converted to Islam. You say Islam is the most violent religion ever yet support that with not an ounce of proof. You lived in Morocco? What does that have to do with anything you just said. You were a Muslim for 5 years, why do you think anyone cares?
Muslim (17:4206) - A woman who became pregnant confesses to Muhammad that she is guilty of adultery. Muhammad allows her to have the child, then has her stoned (the description is graphic).
Muslim (17:4209) - A woman confesses adultery and is stoned to death on Muhammad's order.
@7jem331 You say who cares? Ask that to the family of Neda Agha Soltan.
Also Nawal El-Saadawi was arrested in Egypt, because she wrote an article proving the Hajj has pagan roots. You are an ignorant little prick. Grow up.
@ashburnhouse Nope nobody cares you converted to Islam, didnt like it and now want to have a sulk about it. You ask me to grow up? You are the one throwing about the childish insults, oh and you are talking about Egypt here not Morocco, was she put to death? Nope. Proves you wrong again.
Think its you who needs to grow up, get that large oak tree of a chip off your shoulder and move on. Nobody cares.
@ashburnhouse dude you are talking nonsense. Lets say islam is the most violent religion, yet you say, that most muslims are peaceful. How can people who follow the most violent religion be peaceful? that doesn´t make any sense at all. I have muslim friends and have read a lot about it and really like it,and i haven´t read anything about violence and destruction. It´s people like you, who are the cause of hate, destruction and war because you create lies,but that´s because the truth always hurt
@DiabloTheGames There are lots of peaceful Muslims but that doesn't change the fact that Islam itself, as a doctrine, is violent and benighted. The prophet Muhammad had hundreds of Jews beheaded in Yathrib. Muhammad said that apostates should be executed. The Quran says that non-Muslims should be subjugated and fought, I have a Quran right here with me and I can quote the exact verses. Islam is just a retarded as all other religions.
@ashburnhouse What I said makes perfect sense. For example, Muslims I know would never condone stoning their wife or daughter, if they were suspected, by men, to be adulterous (as the hadith [Muslim and Bukhari] tells them to do). They also wouldn't hit their wives if disobedient, as the Qur'an tells them to do. I was once a Mulsim, but I am no longer. They're not going to kill me even though I have committed apostasy. You should read the Qur'an and Hadith. The most violent nonsense.
@dentgent , give it a rest man, did you come to watch this video just to warn people. It seems that all you 'salafis' are good for, calling everyone else a deviant. Also he openly critisizes the western government and culture, which is a fact you might find difficult to grasp. And your not one to talk, it is your rulers who suck up to the kuffar openly, do not go against them in any way.
Hamza Yosuf=Munafiq he said about the 9/11 fire-fighters who died saving lives were performing Jihad and are 'mujahid' Subhaan allah
Hamzah Yusuf, whilst he stood outside the Whitehouse lawn with his friend George singing "God save America", did it not occur to him that Islam forbade making the Kuffar his intimate, let alone making the greatest enemy of the Muslims his 'buddy'
Hamza Yusuf left no question unanswered, he even stopped the anchor from butting in, that just shows his sincerity for the truth to prevail.
Hamza Yusuf is a brilliant example of a Muslim in modern times....a brilliant example of someone who is striving to emulate the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), something all Muslims should be doing.
Hamza Yusuf is a revert to Islam, Muslims that were born as Muslims think we have an automatic pass to Jannah, please get real people, follow and act on the Sunnah
Not only is 9/11 an inside job, it is also a Zionist Jew/MOSSAD job. Israel is the REAL culprit for the terrorist carnage where approx. 3000 people have been killed. The West has unpardonably and mistakenly been at war with the wrong people.
although, i HAVE to disagree on one aspect of this respected sheikh, and that is , for ME, practicing Islam in the West is really really really tough. ...
I would go to places like the Gulf/Saudi arabia anyday to protect my imaan.
The issue is Faith, it looks to me like FAITH has being "object of business" for many many years... Muslim faith cannot be sold, you need NOBODY to pry and worship your creator.It set you FREE and makes you STRONG. So ATHEISTS want CONTROL.. and Muslims Individuals can't be controlled. ATHEISTS can control Muslim countries Presidents and leaders BUT NOT INDIVIDUALS!!!
Not need to remind anybody that RESISTANCE has always came from CIVILIANS..! THINKING IS ALLOWED ....
BBC and other news channels always shows programmes such as this, where peaceful Muslim views are expressed, are always on at late times and never the day time...
Recently i come accross some CRITICS made by some muslim that i had never seen doing work for islam such as him . ,here a a withe converted man trying to shear and show the beauty of islam with his fellow white western non muslims. i believe that hamza his a better muslim learned man than those muslims who refute him in public..
@SEDUSMU In the name of Allah, most gracious most merciful; Yes I do notice the sound quality. Also in some of his video's the right side of the speaker do not sound, but the left do. Is there a message in that. I believe knowledge should only be given to those whom are clean in obidience to god. What do you think? Salaam,Shalom,Peace!
when i hear crusade i think crusaders, templars(masons) who are american politicians hey george bush is one, but what the heck he didnt mean that did he , of course he did mr hamza
wahabiz r scum and enemies of the lovers of the prophet, peace be upon. what do you do when u r ill, you ask doctor for help. a doctor is not allah. you have seeked refuge with other than allah."do not call those who were killed in the path of allah, dead. Instead they are alive but you have no realization." Surah baqarah
Brother, do not condemn other people with abusive language. You are only permitted to constructively criticise their action, not their selfs. If Wahabis are doing against the sunnah of the prophet, then they commit kufr. BUT it is still haraam for us to label them as Kafirs. Similarly you cannot say they are scum and enemies of the prophet, for they claim to be muslims. For this very reason, we cannot label them as something else, for only Allah has true knowledge of what they do.
How do thinking people believe in this mythical, iron-age-illiterate, story-book nonsense = religion? How do people gullibly fall for the existence of angels, afterlife with an imaginary boss in the sky, miracles, virgin birth, etc.? Religion is a childish story-book fiction. If taken seriously, religion is a fraudulent fabrication based on fictitious characters that, thus far have failed to offer verifiable proof of their existence.
How can you regurgitate every overused half witted empty rhetoric used by atheists that all of us have heard some 2 million times before, and yet expect that we'll be impressed by your mindless memorizing ability?
Religion is the greatest FRAUD in all human history. It confuses logic,promotes mythical beliefs, retards civilization, caused 10s of millions of deaths, and bombards its' teachings to brainwash the mindless "flock". Clearly, religion, any religion is evil - and mythological nonsense.
Hamza Useless the "Bush adviser on Islam". Abi al-'Awar as-Silmi (radhi Allahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said: "Beware of the doors of the ruler for they have indeed become a source of trouble and humiliation." (Saheeh ad-Dailamee, Ibn Mundah, Ibn-'Asaaki - See as-Saheehah: 1253)
He went to george bush with the same intention Musa AS went to Pharoah!! So be careful what you say about such a gem of Islam. Be very careful. Dnt misuse hadith and Qur'an quotes.
'dhanais' dont wat u r but u talk like a fool. hamza yusuf is trying his hardest to propogate islam according to quran and sunnah. he is respected & loved all over the world. u based on your comment is hated all over the world, and i reckon you dont have many decent friends in your community. grow up and educate yourself
It's a shame to see Muslims come on making comments, judging other Muslims as if they know their hearts. It is not up to you to judge a man based on what you feel a verse of the Qur'an means. Taking the Qur'an out of context, or deriving a meaning to suit your needs is a major sin. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf is a highly intelligent man who realises that anything he says may have an effect on other Muslims.
Good. He went to G. Bush with the same intention Musa AS went to confrnt Pharoah. Hamza Yusuf has done immense work bridging the gap between Islam and the west.
you fool this was in 2001, he has hope for people and his sincerety is manifest in waht he says. Hamza Yusuf attempted and made effort but is it his fault that Bush is a crazy Neo Con?!
"If u c a man at a rulers gate, then question his deen." per Imam Al-Azam Abu Hanifa. I didn't know that the great Imam ever said this until i heard Hamza Yusuf quote this teaching of his in one of his speeches. If Hamza Yusuf is the enemy within then he should bear in mind the following verse: "Mighty indeed were the plots which they made, but their plots were (well) within the sight of Allah, even though they were such as to shake the hills! " (14:46)
I love listening to Shaikh Hamza speak. He speaks so eloquently. The Muslim community is in desperate need of leaders like him. He's an extremely intelligent person.
Abu Hurairah (radhi Allahu anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhe wa salam) said: "Whoever lives in the dessert becomes rough; whoso follows the game becomes careless; and whoso comes to the doors of the rulers falls into fitnah (trouble); and a slave does not come nearer to the ruler, except that he becomes further from Allah." (Musnad Ahmad, Shiekh Ahmad Shakir said its chain of narration is Saheeh)
some people including this lunatic reporter don't get it yet: islam has nothing to do with colour, islam has white, black, brown and many other colour of people. islam is not monopoly of east or the arabs. wake up stupid west. islam is for anyone who is looking for salvation for true One God.

Most muslims are peaceful people, but Islam is the most violent religion ever. I was a muslim for 5 years, and I studied in Morocco. Anyone who knows the Qur'an and the Hadith know this. Because I left the religion, the Hadith mandates capital punishment. Fuck off.

@ashburnhouse Most religions put to death those that left the religion. I also lived in Egypt where there were stated cases of Copts who murdered their children because they converted to Islam. You say Islam is the most violent religion ever yet support that with not an ounce of proof. You lived in Morocco? What does that have to do with anything you just said. You were a Muslim for 5 years, why do you think anyone cares?

Muslim (17:4206) - A woman who became pregnant confesses to Muhammad that she is guilty of adultery. Muhammad allows her to have the child, then has her stoned (the description is graphic).
Muslim (17:4209) - A woman confesses adultery and is stoned to death on Muhammad's order.

DiabloTheGames 1 year ago 23
@DiabloTheGames There are lots of peaceful Muslims but that doesn't change the fact that Islam itself, as a doctrine, is violent and benighted. The prophet Muhammad had hundreds of Jews beheaded in Yathrib. Muhammad said that apostates should be executed. The Quran says that non-Muslims should be subjugated and fought, I have a Quran right here with me and I can quote the exact verses. Islam is just a retarded as all other religions.
cornflakeclusters 4 days ago
@ashburnhouse What I said makes perfect sense. For example, Muslims I know would never condone stoning their wife or daughter, if they were suspected, by men, to be adulterous (as the hadith [Muslim and Bukhari] tells them to do). They also wouldn't hit their wives if disobedient, as the Qur'an tells them to do. I was once a Mulsim, but I am no longer. They're not going to kill me even though I have committed apostasy. You should read the Qur'an and Hadith. The most violent nonsense.

Hamza Yusuf is a brilliant example of a Muslim in modern times....a brilliant example of someone who is striving to emulate the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), something all Muslims should be doing.
Hamza Yusuf is a revert to Islam, Muslims that were born as Muslims think we have an automatic pass to Jannah, please get real people, follow and act on the Sunnah

Brother, do not condemn other people with abusive language. You are only permitted to constructively criticise their action, not their selfs. If Wahabis are doing against the sunnah of the prophet, then they commit kufr. BUT it is still haraam for us to label them as Kafirs. Similarly you cannot say they are scum and enemies of the prophet, for they claim to be muslims. For this very reason, we cannot label them as something else, for only Allah has true knowledge of what they do.

How do thinking people believe in this mythical, iron-age-illiterate, story-book nonsense = religion? How do people gullibly fall for the existence of angels, afterlife with an imaginary boss in the sky, miracles, virgin birth, etc.? Religion is a childish story-book fiction. If taken seriously, religion is a fraudulent fabrication based on fictitious characters that, thus far have failed to offer verifiable proof of their existence.

It's a shame to see Muslims come on making comments, judging other Muslims as if they know their hearts. It is not up to you to judge a man based on what you feel a verse of the Qur'an means. Taking the Qur'an out of context, or deriving a meaning to suit your needs is a major sin. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf is a highly intelligent man who realises that anything he says may have an effect on other Muslims.
