Conversations with History: Militant Islam with Daniel Pipes

[djs259]

Hey Mr. Pipes, please be sure to send us a postcard from Hell, when you get there!

[gowharfazili11]

So this man proposes colonial social engineering of a diverse people such as Muslims whom he perceives as a threat to his idea of the West as if he were a god!

[bvrcrap56]

stupid fearful fuckers....islamaphobia!

[RightWingHunter666]

Mr. Pipes could be taken more seriously if he was not a Zionist. He is hardly a non-biased authority on the subject of radical islam. If is Islam is bigoted and intolerant which I certainly agree then surely Judaism. A religion that says god hand chose a certain race of people to be his chosen people and the rest of man kind (gentiles) is subhumans must also be bigoted. All of it is foolishness if you ask me.

[malkooth]

I knew I should have become a bigot and made a lot of money like this nigger.

[Zorfun48]

daniel pipes is a zionist piece of turd. He is not a scholar, but a propagandist for israel

[GriefTourist]

pipes and his ilk want a final solution

how many did jewish communism kill by the way? 50 million?

[Hanad013]

Clearly, Pipes’ concern is not ideology, and it is certainly not national security: it is attacking prominent, articulate Muslim-Americans any way he possibly

can, including through outright lies and slander.

[Ma010S]

SOrry;but this guy's explanations make no sense.Full of unreal things.His analysis are mostly wrong.

[Ma010S]

By the way, no western scientist knows true things about Jıhad ı guess. Because what I was taught on Jıhad as a Muslım, is mostly more different than they speak.

[Ma010S]

I have never seen an extremist,fundamentalist,radic­al Islamic who killed 1.5 million people in the name of his religion so far.But Usa did in Iraq in the name of democracy,humanity and bleeded them too. Usa army is more dangerous?

In crusades millions of Muslıms were killed too . COME ON! Nobody should be radical;but targetting Islam only is not fair!Enlarge your concept guys.What somebody does in the name of democracy is not better than doing it in the name of a religion.

[zobielamouche1]

a wolf in sheep's clothing.

[abdulidan]

Honoustly people, the game is over Islam has one, for one reason only that it is a universal set of beliefs, political, spiritual, economic etc that has been created to cure the ills of civilization, you attempted during colonialism to bring your secularist, money worshiping, porn watching, swine eating garbage to our land, now that we bring you Gods law, i say the least you can do is learn and read without prejedice or ignorance. Islam my friends is UNSTOPPABLE.

[Dave19141918]

Just finished Daniel Pipe's book, Militant Islam reaches America. Great book. I highly recommend it.

[12ut5]

36:00+

[constanthead]

All of the lectures, resources and writings of this Neo-con Pipes are based on protecting Israel and NOT America.

[morchid]

how can this extremist be an objectif historian ?

his place in israel not usa

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[virusshamimi]

pipes parents were supposed to be among the 6 million dead jews, so how come this pipe is alive.these zionists are a bunch of hypocrites and liars.

[mingalabaa]

What a joke. The West now understands Islam, espeically after 9/11. Hahahaha hahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahah

hahahahahaha

[Xildhibaan]

one of my friend want to take a class about islam in one of US university, he drop the class after he learned the teacher is jew Prof: my question IS why most of people talk and write about Islam in American are jewish? are they misinforming them ?

[1moredub]

Just a guess......because they can speak English?

[Maxwedge12000]

No non-muslim knows more about islam and muslims then the jews.

[view587]

@Maxwedge12000 LOL!

[Ezzedeen01]

Piss off you little troll

[bearriver666]

Maybe so , after all they stole Palestine from them and have waged an anti semitic propaganda campaign against them for decades............lol

[Maxwedge12000]

No, the jews are only reclaiming what taken from them.

[352715]

Daniel Pipes is a Muslim-hating Zionist Jew.Being a Pro-Israel Jew,he lacks credebility.

[Muslim4Lyfe64]

He is a racist and a huge opportunistic, greedy Jewish piece of crap.

[FaisalLoco]

I am a Muslim, and I don't see any racism in his discourse. there could be some infused ideological elements, but it's basically a historical analyses. maybe not the best out there, but thats what it is. I've noticed that radical Muslims use racism the same way Zionists use antisemitism. It is just a way for avoiding any criticism from an 'outsider'. 'insiders' on the other hand are stamped with infidelity and therefore deserve to be killed.

[isNOTrael]

You might as well have a show and interviewed a KKK member.

Daniel Pipes is the biggest racist in terms of muslims. Because he supports Israel he will do anything in his power to discredit Islam and any muslim.

Guess what Daniel, there are over 6 million Muslim in America

Islam is growing with 20,000 new muslims every year in the states

More importantly if 1%(60,000) of the Muslims here were as bad as you claim, how come there hasnt been an attack in 8 years on american soil???

[StopTerrorism1]

Islam is not a race, it is a bigoted political and religious ideology.

[isNOTrael]

Judaism is A RACIST IDEOLOGY.

OH wait i have to have a Jewish Mother to be an ISRAELI but yet my mother could be FROM RUSSIA?

Israel never existed in HISTORY THATS A FACT.

By the way guess what jews were called living in palestine b4 1948?

PALESTINIANS!

Israel the largest welfare state in the world, stop begging us for MONEY!

[Xzibillionaire]

@StopTerrorism1

Not all whites are terrorist but almost all whites are state terrorism perpatrators ie vietnam, laos, iraq, cambodia, yemen etc.

Your hate is based upon a veiled race hate so i just gave you some medicine of your own.

[countertreason]

@Xzibillionaire You shouldn't be giving any medicine away, you need all you can get headcase.

If you choose to live in a completely evil state and you believe in democracy, which means you are responsible for your government, then you are completely evil yourself. If you have any ability to leave the US and you do not, then you are not completely serious that she's evil. If you try to complain you care about her and want to help, then you don't actually think she's evil. Either way, your dumb.

[fandanstan]

@StopTerrorism1 Who the hell said Islam was a race in the first place? haha

[abuhamza1970]

@StopTerrorism1 Yeh unlike White European Christians, cos they're not bigoted or politically racist are they? Instead of spouting your racist claptrap why don't you look closer to home for racist bigotry instead of creating false flag terror attacks and blaming them on Muslims. Or you'd rather blame someone else cos it's easier right? That way you don't have to look at yourselves and see the scumbags in Washington and Wall St who see the world as their's to screw with as they see fit

[israelifaggot]

yeah, go islam

[St37One]

as allways

its the war against marxism

weather its UN supported ecollectivism, feminazism, or islamofascism, its always about marxism. Its always about the politics of envy and sabbotage. Its about strength through unity, loyalty, and mob rule. Its the war against the mob mentality, and those thinkers who specialize in stirring up the mob.

[MrCropper]

"as allways

its the war against marxism"

Bingo. The days of these stupid ideologies are numbered. Thanks to Kant and Marx for a century or more of blood, but multiculturalism is now being nailed into its coffin.

[St37One]

how does kant come into this?

[MrCropper]

"how does kant come into this?"

Kant says we cannot know the real reality, just the reality we can sense, so the true nature of reality falls to reasoning divorced from the senses. And reason divorced from the five senses is NOT reason.

[nicklanza]

The comment section of this video should have been turned off.

[kirshara]

Noam Tube dude seriously man dont make yourself look silly by making a statement like that.... yes modern Arab civilization and islamic civilization has become utterly stagnant which is part of the problem today but thats another story.. historically the arabs made huge developments in mathematics, pedagogy, scientific method, medicine, even proto-psychiatry through Sufism. too many to list here. seriously look it up, have an open mind. Dont HATE your enemy it clouds your judgement.

[mrdandrea]

Interesting perspective Mr Daniel Pipes gives on our Muslim friends by translating what we commonly thought hear as "There is no God but Allah" into a more literal phrase as "There is no deity but God".

[Britishfever456]

'La illaha il Allah' = There is no God but Allah. I don't know since when Mr Pipes became an Arabic linguist?

[redduckinpond]

You are just picking on semantics... the general translation is pretty much equivalent.

[acertainamountofevil]

'TAQIYYA' as used by contemporary Islam critics is not the same as the historical use of taqiyya by shia. But IMO taqiyya in the sense of: lying is practiced by muslims. Most muslims, when confronted with inhumane passages from the quran will deny the facts ("no islam means peace"), avoid them or give some lame apologetic answer ("when Mu penetrated 9 y old Aisha, those were different times"). Muslims seem unable to criticize their own faith/ideology.

[BRADFORDRAMZI]

i would love to fuck mr pipes mother in the ass.

[1moredub]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you're,um a Muslim?? Be careful Achmed, it appears your British "hosts" are waking up and getting angry. I don't think you'll like it when they get angry. Rumor is a dark moon is a rising for your people in Europe, you might want to cut down on the rioting and the subway bombing unless your really want to go back to your shithole country of origin.

[BRADFORDRAMZI]

you are right, the people of this country are waking up and rising up against the biggest law breaker state the world has ever seen israel. thats why there were thousands of white english , blacks, jews , rabbis, hindus , orientals, sikhs, on the march that i went to in london, to protest against the nazi state of israel.

[1moredub]

They don't like you Bradford. They really, really don't like you. A bunch of leftist kooks (of which the UK has an abundance) and your co-religionists are your only friends in the UK. And just as an FYI, do you think the Israelis give a rat's ass what Europeans think? How many divisions do you have? Um, that'd be NONE. The Israelis only concern is what the USA thinks and guess what? Obambi's chief of staff (top aid) is JEWISH and his top aid's Dad was a member of Irgun (look it up). You lose.

[BRADFORDRAMZI]

unfortuantly its not about jews its about a nazi like ideology called zionism, which is in fact anti jewish, please remember israel was founded by non religious zionists as a terror state. so it does not matter how many jews there are in obamas administration the more the merrior, becaause jews are slowly realising they religion has been hijacked by zionist terrorists, and they are turning, so watch out mr hitler.

[nassefadiong]

I hope he realize what Islam is all about and that he may present credible empirical studies? If he is a true scholar, he should have not maneuvered distorted facts... I wonder how come he has a PhD with concentration in Islam, but he widely and illicitly misrepresents the prestine Islam. May Allah (means God in Arabic term) forgive him and all people who misunderstood Islam.

[muzicul]

I wonder how much words with no substance count when the whole world can see the crimes against humanity committed by Khomeini, Saddam Hussein, Mohammad, the Taliban, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Islamic Brotherhood, Osama bin Laden and all the young men and women anyone can see hanging from Muslim ropes if they google Islamic hangings. Or google Muslim Beheadings. Do you expect people to not trust THEIR OWN EYES? Did we not see the TWIN TOWERS fall in NY? How many kinds of evil Muslim liar are you?

[nassefadiong]

Oh my, how blasphemous! Your argument reflects your IGNORANCE about Islam. No doubt, the internal and spiritual jihad exists within us because of IDIOTS like you. May God bless your SOUL.

[abdelbaasit1]

The Prophet Muhammad said,

«إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِالْعَفْوِ فَلَا تُقَاتِلُوا الْقَوْم»

"I was commanded to pardon the people, so do not fight them."

[muzicul]

The Devil made a religion (Islam) and invented Al Taqqiya(google it). He included some verses about peace written when Mohammad was POWERLESS in Mecca, but when he promised war booty to desert thugs who joined him he dug trenches to catch the blood of 900 Jews from the tribe of Qurayza whose men and male children he beheaded taking the girls for concubines. Koran 9.5 ends with "kill unbelievers wherever you find them" when he had power to do so. See video at gentleislam daht cawm :-)

[abdelbaasit1]

The Messenger of Allah said:

إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي اخْتِلَافٌ أَوْ أَمْرٌ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ يَكُونَ السِّلْمَ فَافْعَل

(There will be disputes and fighting after me, so if you have a way to end them in peace, then do so.) Recorded by Ahmad in his Musnad.

This is the advice of the Prophet Muhammad. Let's follow it.

[mcmanchur]

...and if people will not submit to Islam... I guess your apocalypse is not much different than any other religion in which the world is cleansed. The problem I have is Islam's obsession to kill or persecute minorities all along the boarders. Most of that is extremists, but You peaceful Muslims need to teach your extremists to patiently await your caliph rather than murder now. Your day of justification and your Messiah will come. I am scared for that day because I won't submit.

[Enes007]

Its easy to accuse some1 without any argumentation or any evidence, dont try to refer to those who call themselves muslims and acts terrorism. the thing that bothers me most is that ppl dont look back in history and analyze how this change took place. Before the cold war the muslims were the friends of the west and after the enemy...maybe the west cant survive without a enemy for its political purposes.

[mcmanchur]

Most of Pipe's study was toward Islamic history before the Cold War. He does not claim to fully understand the religion but he does know all the political/military movements that occurred since the beginning of Islam. Our country has not claimed to be at war with Muslims. We are at war with terrorists that use a perverted form of Islam for motivation. And there are a lot of these radical individuals. The greatest threat of terror right now is from these people who claim to be Muslim

[Enes007]

now thats funny also.

[mcmanchur]

@Enes007 Why do you guys refuse to admit the obvious. There is no other group right now except for Islam that has possibly millions of people within it's religion that think that killing Americans and Jews an essential part of the Koran. Islam in history got it's land by conquest. Those facts are undeniable.

[Enes007]

amybe because im looking behind the curtain? m8 u r looking at the result, try 2 look at the process and see what happened at the beginning. Maybe its true what u r telling me, but i dont think u can blame islam for something it doesnt teaches, thats absurd.

If a nation doesnt stop its unjustice to its people, muslims are obligated to stop it no matter what...it could contain conquest if necessary.

[79CE]

@mcmanchur Israel is known by the WHOLE world to be an illegal, oppressive, and corrupt organization. There are numerous accounts by human rights organizations proving this. For this guy to support such an organization is all you need to see how ignorant of the facts he is.

What about the KKK who are based on the "good white Christian." Or rabbi Yousef Falay who says that all Palestinian boys 13 and over should be killed. You need to step outside your little bubbles and see the real world.

[MountMarcyNY]

@79CE AS if Israel's Arab neighbors are examples of peaceful and just nations free of all bigotry?

[79CE]

@MountMarcyNY

I don't recall ever making that statement. Funny how people see what they want to, not what is actually there...

Of course there are Arabs who do, have done, and are currently doing things just as bad and even worse. The difference is that I will condemn all sides, all those guilty of crimes. But you all want to condemn the one side and make excuses for the other.

None of you know how to approach a topic without bias.

[MountMarcyNY]

@79CE But you singled Israel out as some nation that has no right to exist while such countries like Syria, Sudan, Saudi Arabia are far worse. Looks like you keep two different sets of standards

[79CE]

@MountMarcyNY I completely disagree that Sudan, Syrian, and Saudi are far worse. Not that they are any better, but they are absolutely not far worse. I don't believe there exists a government today that is honest and just.

Israel might have a right to exist, but not on Palestinian land, or any other land occupied by people. Palestinians were thrown out of their homes, ethnically cleansed, to make room for the Zionists (not Jews, the Zionist movement is responsible).

[billyasik]

@mcmanchur :

"That think killing american and Jews an essential part of the Koran" ?

Do you know what the fuck you talking about ?

Do you have any Muslim neighbor ? DoThey intend to kill you and your family ?

You dont even know the Koran ! Why dont you start to read it ? why dont you ask a muslim to teach you about islam and see it for yourself ?

"Islam in history got it's land by conquest. Those facts are undeniable" YES ! And ALSO AMERICANS KILLING OVER 60 Million Indians & take their land.

[fandanstan]

@mcmanchur Keyword: think. Many people think many different things. That means nothing. The question is: does the Quran actually teach that? Answer: no.

Do your homework before making such ridiculous comments.

[erhan2brother]

@mcmanchur nonsense the quran promotes peace before 9.11 there were no terorisme as for killing the quran says killing one inocent human is like killing the entire humanity of course you poeple know better about us as if were denieyng something let me ask you this which religion killed 6 MILLION JEWS right I thought so who killed

3 MILLION VIETNAMESE? who gave amnesty to the jews in the 2cond worldwar? palesinian MUSLIMS PALL, now hoe can we kill jews and give amnesty at the same TIME? RIGHT/

[erhan2brother]

@mcmanchur WHO ATTACKED AN inocent nation IRAN? you westerners financed and trained iraqi soldiers you installed sadam huseyn Who FIRST KILLED 5000 KURDS 1600 SHIITES women and children after the genocide still america did busines with sadam and gave his throne back, even after the gulf war the americanS gave the throne to sadam for oill and in 2001 sadam refused to pay up than 9.11 hapend and iraq was responsible while iraq was an anti fundamentalist groups, who KILLED 1 MILLION IRAQIS THE WEST

[usmc7242]

@erhan2brother was this AFTER khomenei killed over 250,000 Shah supporters? I seem to forget...

[keeramtookoran]

@erhan2brother EXACTLY...SO HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED...SO DID HIS SONS!!NEXT TIME,SADDAM,SHARMOUTA,YOU PAY WHAT YOU OWE!!GOD BLESS BUSH AND CHEYNEY!!!

[sshhaammiiiiiiiiii]

@mcmanchur killing americans & jews essential part of QURAN? hahahahahahahahaha dumb ass u cant even spell QURAN correctly & talking about ISLAM? LOL

[keeramtookoran]

@sshhaammiiiiiiiiii muhammed ibn sharmouta,een aldeen omakk sshaammiiii,kooss omakk,ayree feek ,neek omakk!!

[Ma010S]

@mcmanchur I think you refuse to learn about the reals;just talk like making a protest or provocation = )) Visit my home and see what we thing,what we do, what we feel and how we treat you. TRY to produce new ideas;not the ones which are told you to follow.Be original pls.

[abuhamza1970]

@mcmanchur Tell me, in which part of the Koran does it mention killing Americans? Strange as the Quran was revealed in the 7th century and Columbus discovered the Americas in the 15th Century. I know that Muhammed was a visionary but man that's some going! And how is it, that the largest populations of Muslims - Indian subcontinent + Indo China (between them around 500m Muslims) have not had any wars of conquest by Muslims armies? Islam was spread by Arab traders in teh 7th + 8th Centuries.

[SuperFifthwheel]

@abuhamza1970 HAHAHA, NO, Islam was majorly spread by the Caliphates of the Ummayad Emire, and The Ottoman Empire (Turks) amongst others. They spread it by forced conversions and beheaded anyone that did not convert with large scimitars (which happens now mostly in honor killings). They finished off the Byzantine Christians and burned their churches, murdered the priest, and raped the women. Islam was only started in small groups by traders, but it turned into a murderous cult caliphate.

[abuhamza1970]

@SuperFifthwheel The rule has always been and always will be: let our missionaries correct the lies you say about God. There have been many instances when govts have allowed Islamic preaching activity and there has been no jihad. Where they refuse Gods msg, then yes you pay for lies with war since we will not let live comfortably in living and spreading lies about God. He has tasked the Muslims as he has with previous generations Jews/Christians to fight paganism. So lie all you want about God

[SuperFifthwheel]

@abuhamza1970 So you deny the history of the ottoman and ummayad empires existed? I think you are lieing to yourself. But, if you want to keep yourself in the dark :) feel free, that is what the Quran is good at doing, keeping people ignorant, hypocritical, making them fools, and dishonest people. Where are your kings and every leader of all your countries so self absorbed with your wealth because you are too humble to accept it? What of your kings? What of your supreme leaders? Hypocrits!

[abuhamza1970]

@SuperFifthwheel You couldn't be more right about the rulers of Muslims lands,dictators and oppressors every one of them. The only reason they are there is because the West has imposed them on Muslims as puppets. As FDR once said "he may be a SOAB but he's our SOAB" They are for 2 reasons: provide the West with cheap Oil and prevent the creation of the Khliafa (Islamic state).

Have you actually read the Quran?

Btw I never denied the Ummayid and Usthmani Caliphates. Read my earlier msg again.

[SuperFifthwheel]

@abuhamza1970 No they are there because they are heshimites. Not because the west props them up! They are claimed decendants of Muhammed like Abdullah II and Saudi King. They imposed themselves on you because muslims recognize them as such! The west hates dictators, they theocrats tell you hate west because your dictators, not the west, fucked you over. And your countries dont have the courage to get rid of them. They want profit for themselves, like Khomenei, who profit from your poverty.

[SuperFifthwheel]

@abuhamza1970 Part 2: yes, I have read the Quran, then I put it down permanently. I'm an atheist, so I detest a religion that has been the cause of persecution and murder of fellow atheist and apostates. I dont believe in god, nor have I ever killed, stolen from, or hurt ANYONE EVER. Therefore I dont think it is fair that any god (if one could exist) be such a mancle on society as to incite the past violent acts from religion to occur. The book has incited much hatred since its introduction.

[haimaphil]

@mcmanchur Don't make up stuff, panic-monger

[WOGI5M]

@mcmanchur How did Christianity obtain its land?

[abuhamza1970]

@mcmanchur Your country is not under attack from Muslims, rather there is another protagonist at play here masquerading as Muslims. I would suggest the following articles, videos, docs:

Zero - an investigation into 911 - probably the best documentary I've seen on this

PNAC - Google it. Openly suggests new wars in Iraq/ME

ae911truthdotorg - Architects & Engineers for 911 truth

remember the anthrax scare after 911? Well those spores were found to be from Ft Dietrich US Army Bio warfare division

[abdelbaasit1]

It is recorded in "Saheeh Muslim", that the Prophet Muhammad said: "It has been revealed to me that you should be humble, to the extent that none of you boasts to others or mistreats others at all."

The Prophet Muhammad also said,

«إِنِّي أُمِرْتُ بِالْعَفْوِ فَلَا تُقَاتِلُوا الْقَوْم»

"I was commanded to pardon the people, so do not fight them."

[muzicul]

Why would all these Harvard, Princeton, Yale and other aesthetic gentle students and the gentle people of Holland, Denmark and all over the world make up all these lies about Islam? What about all the suicide violence WE CAN ALL SEE with our own eyes? Can we not see Muslims blowing up themselves, skyscrapers, planes, and the children at Beslan whom they raped in front of other children? Anyone who denies this is practicing TAQIYYA. Read all about Islamic Doctrine of Deception at GentleIslam

[abdelbaasit1]

(1) Taqiyya is a false thing, invented by the filthy sect of the Shias - whose belief is vile. You have to read more to learn about there evil. * so Taqiyya is not allowed in Islam. This is a made up thing by the Shia sect.

(2) Yes, we do see what "some" Muslims are doing today. Remember that there are some 1.2 billion Muslims who are not! Pleaze learn to differenciate between "Islam" and "Muslims nowadays"

** REMEMBER what the Americans did to the people of Iraq; horrible evil things..

[abdelbaasit1]

Don't be a hypocrite. Covering up what "some" Americans have done. How they raped girls in Iraq, burned them alive. Horrible, vile, evil things. What happened there?!!! To those innocent people.

Remember the # of Iraqi civilians killed!

* ALSO, remember the Palestinians. How many have been murdered, slaughtered, tortured to death!!?

MUSLIMS are suffering in this world much more than you can imagine. Sympathize with them! Now "some" Muslims who could not bear this, began to fight back!

[NoamTube]

Maybe they should stop committing acts of terrorism and killing innocent people in the name of Allah. Then the world will have more respect for them and listen to what they have to say. Honestly, besides numbers, what have the Arabs contributed to this world. I can name about 100 inventions out of israel you have in your home. Name 1 the arabs made for the benefit of mankind. And using duct tape to strap heavy objects to your chest with promises of virgins is not one.

[abdelbaasit1]

I'm not Arab, so I have nothing to do with that.

Secondly, terrorism (i.e. terrorizing the civilians) is not permissible, according to Islam.

However, in the battlefield it is another story. The Quran instructs us to fight when we're in that position, and God states He will put 'terror' into the hearts of the enemies. BUT YOU SEE, all of this is not in cities, towns, populated areas - no!

This is where problems have occurred, regarding the Religious Texts.

[michaelgloch]

of course, and the way they get around that annoying little snag of 'not killing civilians' or to kill only on the battlefield is to redefine what battlefield and civilian means. children? future people who will attack or speak evil of us! valid targets! kill them! other muslims in the way? fornicating with the sons of pigs and monkeys! infidels the lot of them! kill them! seriously, if these guys quit terroism and got into politics, they'd have great careers. already practiced at spin doctoring

[abdelbaasit1]

Recorded by al-Bukhari with an authentic chain to 'Aaishah (the wife of Muhammad) who said: "The Prophet would never get angry or take revenge for his own personal interest."

Muslim recorded with an authentic chain from 'Aaishah that she said: "He never struck any servant, or any woman, or even anyone at all, except while fighting on the battlefield for the sake of Allah."

The only exception is when, 2 parties are fighting each other -- then, he (peace be on him) would fight.

[123dsj123]

The tragedy surrounding the Quran is that it was born out of the Dark Age, a period in history that is known for its superstitions, fallacies, and ignorance. Many verses in the Quran attest to this fact and cause problems among scholars and intellectuals. Perhaps for this cause Muslims are now re-writing the Quran to diverge (turn away) attentions from these superstitious beliefs. Surah 18:86 has changed from the sun setting in muddy spring of water to the sun appears to be setting in the sea

[abdelbaasit1]

Ahhh...... Ignorance :)  Isn't it 'beautiful'?

[abdelbaasit1]

Quran (23:71): "And if the Haqq (truth, reality) followed their desires, then verily the heavens and the earth would become corrupted - as well as everything therein."

WHO GAVE YOU THE AUTHORITY to define or redefine or make your own explanation as to what "xyz" is?

As God said, "if it was left to their desires" to decide that, corruption would spread to the horizon! * * * The meaning of those terms you stated is well-known; in the past and present, their meaning is known and confirmed

[michaelgloch]

not redefining anything, just repeating the reasoning given to justify killing civilians by various terrorist leaders. They simply say, we're at war with all of this country, everyone in this country is a valid target because they all contribute to the system that that is at war with us. As for what gives me the authority to define anything, it's this thing called free speach, something that many people who profess to follow the Quran seem to be unable to tolerate. I speak of leaders of Iran etc

[abdelbaasit1]

I don't know about all of this - terrorist leaders and what they say, and your so-called 'free speech', and what some Iranian leaders claim, etc.

My stance - and the stance of every true and real "Muslim" - should be, we don't make our own rules. We only follow, the pure Islam - what Allah stated in His Book & we understand this with the understanding of Muhammad, his Companion and the blessed 3 generations afterwards.

According to this, killing civilans can NEVER be done, no matter what.

[abdelbaasit1]

So again, I just wanna stress that -- whatever Shaikh B, or Imam A says, or this person or that ~ holds no weight in my eyes or in the eyes of ANY real and true Muslim.

Its either God said/the Prophet said - and this should be understood in the light of the Prophet's statements as a whole, & how the early Muslims understood it

The "reasoning" you mentioned isnt found in the early Muslims; nor is it wise. The Scholars of Saudi Arabia have issued a ruling stating the forbiddance of such.

[AsphaltCowboy81]

Haha...a typical nonsense reaction of Saudi Government worshippers.

See what "abdelbaasit1" writes:

"I just wanna stress that -- whatever Shaikh B, or Imam A says, or this person or that ~ holds no weight in my eyes or in the eyes of ANY real and true Muslim."

and then:

"The Scholars of Saudi Arabia have issued a ruling stating the forbiddance of such."

[abdelbaasit1]

This is PERFECT example of Ignorance, and "cutting & pasting" ... and as Muslims like to put it, "taking out of context".

I like to call it: "Ignorance." -- of course, on part of the Non-Muslims, who have no clue.

+ Statement 1 does not contradict Statement 2. Statement 1 is a fact, a principle, a general rule. What one scholar, or this or that scholar says - is MERELY his opinion, and holds no weight.

But when a committee of scholars ALL AGREE & unite on 1 view, that does hold weight

[abdelbaasit1]

FURTHERMORE< there is 1 main, critical, so-important point that you (the Non-Muslims) are unaware of, and this is what [no doubt] lead Mr. Cowboy to comment as he did

+ Evidences. * In Islaam, what this or that scholar (or this or that Shaykh) says - holds no weight by itself. This is established without doubt

+ But when a large body of Islamic Scholars unite on 1 view (1 opinion), and issue a Legal Verdict regarding it WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE (i.e. text from Quran/Sunnah) ~ then it has weight

[asefati]

Iranians didnt take over the Embassy because of Islam they did so because they didn't want CIA to overthrow their regime like they did back in 1953!

[tavisp31]

How revealing it is that most of you refer to this guy as a racist. Can you please provide one example of anything he said during this interview that was racist?

It certainly sounds to me like a majority of the posters on this board are biased against Israel, which effectively makes them bigots.

What a sophomoric effort you have contributed in attempting to flip the script on Pipes. This man is more of a scholar than you Islamonazis (not to be confused with normal Muslims) will ever be.

"I think that focusing on terrorism is a misnomer and a euphamism and a very superficial understanding. Terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. The enemy is militant Islam. Not Islam the personal faith, not terrorism the tactic but militant Islam."--Daniel Pipes

[hayman4548213]

Pipes is a worthless peace of shit. This guy is a lair and knows nothing about Islam. He is a hate monger and hopefully he dies a humiliating and awful death.

[apologiamixer]

You need to repent of your sins and be washed in the blood of Isa.

[bearriver666]

Good to see so many here see Pipes as the hate monger he is............

[decampp]

Daniel Pipes is a manipulative, dishonest, and hate-filled man. He misrepresents the truth and attempts to stifle reasonable and open debate on current affairs. I cannot believe how much serious attention people pay to him.

[badaustad]

Mr Daniel on PIPE is an ASSHOLE and a complete waste of time.

Please ignore this VERMIN.

[idiley]

while I believe Islam is not without its flaws, and should not be protected from criticism, one can not deny the intellectual bankruptcy of this con. Pipes connection to the Israeli right winged fascists blinds him from carrying out any honest intellectual query. He is so blinded by his hate for arabs and muslims, that he inevitably engages in academic dishonesty.

[uzpower]

al Q was created by the cia wake up u dum people

[KuffarKuffar]

well excuse the pathetic liars whom have attacked professor Dr Daniel Pipes. H eis neither racist or hater. H eis a world wide acknowledged brilliant man, whom has a PHD in Islamic History and thank GOD he has exposed islam for its evil. Thank You Dr Pipes for your amazing dedication to the truth of exposing islam for the evil it is.

[bearriver666]

This scum Pipes is proof there are good and bad people in every group and you don't have to be a German or a gentile to be a nazi..........

[bakdgreat]

an uncompromising racist

[DaughterOfDoherty]

This man is a genius, and his book 'Conspiracy: How the Paranoid Style Flourishes' RULES!

[stealthhawk1984]

Pipes'a amazingly confident and straightfowar in his views, I really love his lectures and articles, he rocks

[alparon]

Pipes says: I do expect that when the Islamists AKP feel strong enough and the circumstances are right, they will go attempt to reverse the Atatürkist state and impose the Shari'a in its full scope. This prospect should be a matter of huge concern...I concur...to hell with AKP and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The islamists transformed Iran into an Arab state-degraded all its traditions, wiped out everything Persian. AKP is doing the same in Turkey. We are Turkish not Arab...to hell with islamofascists

[ammonjerro47]

Bravo!

[jldyett]

Pipes rocks my world.

[bakdgreat]

yeah he does that to jews

[pilkingtonphil]

@ 05.48 on his interpretations of Islamic history "You get a depth that you don't have, sorry, that the general public doesn't have". Freudian slip anyone?

[oldstock1607]

Tell it like it is DANNY!! Pipes is my motherfuckin' NIGGA!!!

[hpdv4000]

Zzzzz

[turkishmuscles]

daniel pipes was killed

[mkratovil]

No he wasn't. He's alive and well. He just gave a talk at UC the other night.

[Balefan83]

your thinking of Daniel Pearle i think!!!

[NoamTube]

I saw daniel pipes speak a week ago.

[turkishmuscles]

sure, in hell

[NoamTube]

Actually it was in Manhattan. But close.

[focustnv]

A great man... a hero.

[inlagdsil]

He doesn't mention that because he knows what he's talking about! Islamism and islamic fundamentalism started long before there was a Mossad.

[AbtinX]

Yes it did, the true annals of islamism begin with the foundation of Saudi Arabia and the ascent of Al Saud and the wahabis due to western imperial interests. The mossad it self is a creation, like the state of israel of the very same people who ultimately gave rise to what people today refer to as islamism, whatever that is. I say so because it is near impossible to define

[AbtinX]

Incredible, this man is a scholar and he doesn'¨t mention the CIA or the Mossad in the creation of "militant Islam" whatever that is. If you shoot at muslims, muslims will shoot back, he doesn't even acknowledge this simple fact haha, what a joker

[LongLiveThePersia]

read som history books, No other country attacked Arab muslims, but it was them who attacked other nations first.

[AbtinX]

Salam agha, I've studied history and the history of islamic societies in general, I could always read more though. I'm a student of oriental socities and social science in Sweden, an Iranian refugee like yourself (I'm just guessing here). I don't have a western view on this matter hence the -4 on my comment :)

[LongLiveThePersia]

bro, don't listen to all that anti-Israeli bullshit which Iranian Regime propagates

Israelis can be much better allies for us than rest of arabs.

[AbtinX]

Even if that were so, Israel is a self proclaimed enemy of Iran, not the other way around. When both Iran and Israel were allies of the US they competed for the premier role in the middle east as the henchmen of the US. Realism dictates neighbourship alliances, not licking the boot of foreign imperialists. Have some pride, maha irani hastim!

[d1974]

"Israel is a self proclaimed enemy of Iran"

Why do you say that? Did you hear the speech of Shimon Peres made in the UN last month? He specifically said that the Iranian people are not our enemy.

"Realism dictates neighbourship alliances"

That was probably true in the days of the Shah but since 1979 it's impossible. Does it has something to do with the theocratization of Iran? Possible? Is militant Islam to blame? Again?

[AbtinX]

If you are speaking of history, persian kings concquered arabia long before arabs ever conquered persia. But all of that is irrelevant, states are expansionist and violent, persian, american, arab, it doesn't make a difference. What matters to me is people, and the ideologies that oppose this violent system of capitalism and imperialism.
