  • Another appeaser talking on behalf of murderers.

  • @haTreesong You are a fucking moron.

  • @pjmgame I am afraid that you have got your alleged brain in reverse. If you look in the mirror, you will see someone who does not care that the vermin of islam hate the West and want to destroy all the freedoms and democratic rights that our forefathers fought and died for. Appeasement does not work and YOU should read your history and realize this. Islam represents.. oppression, intolerance, murder, no free speech, no rights for women, hatred, and death for all kinds of trivial slights.

  • @haTreesong Your just an evil human being who fails to see the difference between muslims and extreme muslims. Are there evil muslis in the world? Yes. Are all muslims evil? No.

  • Why do we keep importing these degenerates to live in our countries amongst our people?

  • What about the muslim who die in World Trade Center.

    The muslim in this world hate Usama Ibn Ladin because Usama Ibn Ladin did a terrible crime against humanity. The Muslim have a right to build Islamic Culture Centre for education

  • YES im a christian and i agree with him completely

    "muslims didnt attack america, al-qaeda did"

  • Penn Jilette is right. They should rebuild twin towers that got destroyed. It would be a sign of strength.

  • Please spare us the "Islamophobia" bullshit Russell. Another holier than thou rapper who thinks he has embraced islam, but probably couldn't recite a single verse from the Quran.

    A Cultural Center?? Pfffttt, people still actually believe that?? For everyone who buys into the PC, "religion of peace" farce, I recommend you watch Dispatches: Undercover mosque. Hopefully that should wake up you drones.

  • Yo Russell stay off the crack pipe and stick to your hip hop celebrity B.S.

  • Stick it to the white man hey Simmons. A black man would only become a Muslim because he is a racist.

  • @romfordjohn racist to who?

  • Comment removed

  • Do you americans realise the whole reason America came to be was beacause of the persacution of christians in england who fleed so they could practice there religion freely, read the constitution,it says all citizens have the freedom to pray for whatever religion they want, im not american and even i know that, but i suppose ignorance is bliss

  • It's not Muslim land, Americans have every right to not want that mosque. When in Rome, do as the Romans.

  • @return135 well your not in Rome are you...? lol.

  • @Welcometomylife2441 It's a famous and well known quote. I guess you've never heard of it though...

  • @return135 lol. i'm not an idiot of course i have heard of it! But i was being sarcastic!!

  • typical leftwing coward...what should we do roll over and all become muslims?fuck that...

  • @brewt1mer lol retard

  • @CaligirlSofia dont be so hard on yourself...

  • @brewt1mer No one said that idiot.

  • @brewt1mer

    Typical right winger, not informed of anything and doesn't even listen to what the man is saying

    Btw im not a democrat

  • @iRentallyMetarded im not on about what he is saying..my comment is about the issue as a whole...and im not a right winger....

  • Good video. He is right. Push the Muslims hard enough for war and you WILL get it. Like he said, it is a war that you CAN NOT WIN.

    Put it this way - Islam has been around for 1400+ and it is not about to go away.

    To those who oppose the Mosque, please put away your hate and arrogance. Embrace Peace. Embrace Islam. Let us live together.

    Peace.

  • @BreakFix - Typical Muslim threaten war and death and then start babbling about peace. That is all Muslims ever do. Give us our way or we will attack you. we see it every day now in the UK.

    I think everyone in the UK is beginning to see that nothing will ever be enough for Muslims. they will not rest until they force Islam on the entire nation and make us follow Sharia. I believe in freedom and so I have no choice but to oppose this.

  • @WillShakespeare2007 lol u're so sacreligious and racist. those people u're talking about are not true muslims

  • @Xiethetuber - Do you want to explain how I have been racist? Islam is not a race it is an ideology Muslims can come from any race and there are Muslim nations in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. As a matter of fact I am married to an Asian and have mixed race children. So learn the definition of racist.

    If it is sacrilegious to stand against hanging 16 year old girls for sex crimes, hanging mothers for words, stoning women and hanging gays then I am proud to be sacrilegious.

  • @WillShakespeare2007 it doesnt happen anymore, have u been to those countries? dont talk about something u dont know, get to know them before start judging them

  • @Xiethetuber - Of course it still happens. a 16 year old girl was publicly hung in Iran a year ago for "moral crimes" which was the fact she was raped by an older married man. In Pakistan Asia Bibi is waiting to be hung right now for blasphemy, yes for words she will die.

    And yeas I have been to those countries and ran campaigns on behalf of amnesty international. These things DO happen everyday under Sharia. You need to educate yourself.

  • @WillShakespeare2007 dont forget stonings, they happen everyday under sharia for similar crimes

  • @thetdoman Yes in certain cultures, has nothing to do with Islam. Women were also burned at the stakes for being witches in the western world, has nothing to do with Jesus Christ teaching people the golden rule.

  • @DrMadolite That was back in the western age of insanity, humans were scared of witches and what do humans do to things they're scared of but have power over? they eliminate it. with islam however it does not fit, I'm pretty sure they're not scared of other people after they have been raped. Maybe the "honor" killings are different though, are muslims scared of modern, happy, peaceful,cool things? I have much anger for islam because of 9/11 and how they are treating Christians/Jews

  • @WillShakespeare2007 lol amnesty, the so called "human rights" organisation, more like taking away our honour and patriotism. did u even know that there're heaps of churches and catholic masses in iran? wait i thought they get hung.. noo we havent seen the other side have we

  • @Xiethetuber - You support Iran that hung a 16 year old girl for moral crimes recently. That stones people to death. That kills anyone that leaves Islam. That kills anyone that speaks out against Islam. Do you want to justify this to me - /watch?v=3nrR40Jw_X8

    What sort of sick person justifies this level of human oppression shame on you.

  • @WillShakespeare2007 o my GOD, im not even a muslim but the muslims i know are so much nicer

  • @Xiethetuber - Here are some examples of Islamic Sharia law in Islamic nations. /watch?v=8J_cqtdH26c

    A women beheaded for Witchcraft under Sharia law in Saudi Arabia /watch?v=702HBLlOzYI

    Iran 16 year old girl hung for "moral crimes" (she was raped) /watch?v=xFdE0JWghig

    If you do not support these things then you are against the spread of Islam as this is what Islam teaches. This is not a game this is what they want for our nations.

  • Comment removed

  • russels i used to respect you but not any more.what do you mean by hurt people will hurt people.it looks like when someone becomes a muslim his or her agression level escallates.i guess that mohammed thing is kind of mentall lessons.

  • I guess it's time to start learning to fly a plane. Our turn to give them a huge fucking hit.

  • @neodeville or better yet, just nuke those mother fuckers :D

  • @neodeville the world would be better off, not because of the damage from the attack but because you would kill yourself.

  • The Bible is often quite gruesome, but it's also long and unfocused enabling Christians to say things like "your taking that out of context" or "that's the Old Testament". Lame excuses to be sure, but excuses they adhere to.

    The Koran in contrast is smaller and more focused, and Muslims consider it the final unalterable word of God. When Muhammad orders attacks on cities and takes sex slaves, Muslims are told he is a good role model.

  • cultural center... lol when will people wake up?

  • common scene..zionists can try and try but they always be the losers in this game..

  • I still disagree with the mosque building. If anything it has cased more hate to your everyday peaceful muslim.

    The Government has had no spine whatsoever in dealing with the radicals and people are hating on Islam because of what extremists have been allowed to get away with.

    Just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you should. I think this is a really stupid idea.

  • exactly....Muslim only see the outside never see inside. it does not matter what is the content and who wrote of the Koran as long as from Muhammad.

  • we need to make the white house a mosque!!

  • @chezpiecedaking, that's good. and you just make the entire world living backward like you ? stoning, killing, bombing, teaching kids to do that ? oppressed women. I think we need is to make the entire Mosque into white house.

  • @moistfaucet It could still be white it doesn't matter the color.

  • "Muslims didn't attack America, Al-Qaeda did."

    Correction, Al-Qaeda is composed of Muslims following Islamic teachings.

    "It's about tolerance."

    If Simmons had been paying attention over the years, he'd know tolerance is simply a word Islamists demand so they can be intolerant in return. The tolerance goes only one way.

    "..the context in which this cultural center, not 'mosque' is being built."

    Uh Russell, this "cultural center" contains a mosque.

  • @patrickthesaint um well the nazi party was made up of Christians, and still is made up of Christians. so is the kkk. also the ira is made up of Christians. and guess what there terrorists.

  • @adamrandom14 Christians who use violence are violating the teachings of Jesus. Muslims who use violence are implementing the teachings of Muhammad.

  • @patrickthesaint "If your own full brother, or your son or daughter, or your beloved wife, or you intimate friend, entices you secretly to serve other gods, whom you and your fathers have not known, gods of any other nations, near at hand or far away, from one end of the earth to the other: do not yield to him or listen to him, nor look with pity upon him, to spare or shield him, but kill him."

    -Deuteronomy 13:6-8

  • @webmaster2089 Good thing I'm not a Christian.

  • @patrickthesaint Al-Qaeda is composed of extremists following their view of the Islamic religion...Christians and Jews could use scriptures from the Tanakh or Old Testament as reason for terrorism as well, it's all down to the interpretation and importance placed on various sections of religious text...although I'd say the Koran has greater potential for extremist interpretation.

  • ANSWER - well in fact, i don't need to wonder at all.. because we all know that they'd be frothing at the mouth at the insensitivity of it all... but hey! thats hypocrites for you.

  • the point has already been made by somebody else but i'd like to repeat it anyway - Fundamental christians fly a passenger jet into mecca killing thousands and ten years later some moderate christians turn up a block or two away from mecca ground zero and ask for permission to build a church/christian community cultral awareness centre which they plan to call crusader house... i wonder if the likes of simmons would be as generous in there opinions of these 'moderate' christians.. erm! i wonder?

  • Its like hes making excuses for Muslims extremists, saying if they feel under attack they will start joining extreme groups.. How come he doesnt present the same argument for people who have been under attack from Muslims? =/ Couple double standards.

  • Constitution says they can. I don't like Islam but they are allowed, end of story. PERIOD.

  • @zeroeffects88 thank you. well said and i respect your opinion. islam isn't a religion for everyone but everyone should be allowed to follow what they want.

  • Christianity is pretty much just as bad to women as Islam. In modern societies we've just made it better, more secular, which means more equality for Men and Women

  • i am an islamofob , i am affraid of islam & moslims.

    most of the moslims are affraid of moslims&islam(The way thay kill eatchother in Egipt / Syria /Iran / tunis/Lybia / Pakistan / Afganistan ecetera is a good resonet to be affraid of Islam....

  • @haim221 Inslamophobic and proud. I love your style. Where do i sign?

  • @TheFestivelights in hell you retard fear is for the weak cunts

  • @kookieless I do fear Islam. Any sane person with a knowledge of Islamic history, who has reads and studies the Qu'ran and the Hadith would.You on the other hand seem to not.You have no fear of a religion that through the authority of the Qu'ran, endorses the death penalty for apostates, gays, non-believers(if they refuse to submit), adulterers, RAPE VICTIMS, amputation for theft, treating women like sex slaves and baby machines and worst of all, brain washes little children to hate Jews. Proud?

  • @TheFestivelights christians gave women less rights than islam does

  • @kookieless BULLPAT. Answer me this then. If women in Islam share the same rights as men, then why can a man have up to 4 wives but a woman can only have one husband. If a man wishes to divorce his wife he can do without question, yet a woman must have permission from her husband. Under Sharia a woman's word is worth half that of a mans. This is not equal. In the largely Christian West, women have the same rights as men in everything. Islam is still stuck in the 7th century. Equal =50/50

  • @TheFestivelights is that why women get paid 77 cents for every mans dollar in america ?

  • @snake6918 Not the women I know. All my wife's friends earn double what I earn. Okay revised figures Men 55%, women 45%, which still outperforms Islam which is more like 90/10. I could just ask you this. Are women more equal to men in Western society then they are in Islamic countries?

  • hitler was a christian therefore to most of the american peoples logic we shouldnt have any churches in civilized countries. dumb ass racists

  • Its you

  • Is it me ? Or black African americans have the brains that most White Americans don't have!

  • Peace to you all.... Especially to those muslims living in and around NY ...Why??....Sharif El-Gamal is deceiving, its a trap muslims...dont know if you can see it but i think they are just trying to refocus this on to the muslims / islam..as long as that mosque remains in that area..the psychological trauma remains...unfortunatly there are still people in the us who blames the muslims for this...May the God of Abraham send peace, blessings and insight to those who are studying the 911 attack..

  • Hurt people will "Hurt People". So if I don't bow down, Islam will hurt me? This guy is preaching fear, much like all extremist do. The difference is, this guy dresses better.

  • Watch:  'Under Occupation' youtube.com/watch?v=yNuebABgJN­­s&feature=channel_video_title

  • @JJ30301 I don't give a rat's ass what a muslim is or what he isn't ,in his own country.I don't want any more of them immigrating in the west .They already have 57 islamic states to choose from.Ban immigration ,no more muslims ,no more terror ,& no more wars !

  • New York is described in the Bible. See the Aimed At America 3 video on youtube.

  • It's a "cultural center.' No, it's a mosque you dumb fuck Simmons. Officially it was going to be a victory mosque. Just b/c you add a little something doesn't change that fact. And don't pretend to be a sensitive guy you dumb fuck. ---- Okay give the rights to others that you want for yourself. If Christian go and kill 3,000 innocent civiilians then we aren't allowed to build a temple on the ground...And don't throw 'islamophobia' you pc fucking nigger.....

  • @mujahid1031 Muhammad was a paedophile ,with a face like a pig !

    One day ,a dog bit him in the ass & he fell into the donkey shit of Duldul.

    Forget about world domination ,learn to wipe your ass !

  • @aynaristo we have learnt to wipe out arses, we use water and soap every tme we take a dump, ur whore mother never taught u that u dirty bastard

  • @aynaristo ha ha Ur so retarded learn something and then come back gussing its u so in about 300000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000000000000 years from now

  • Russell Simmons is such an idiot and a racist. Muslim inspired terrorists is what attacks us before and after 9-11. They want to call this mosque a cordoba center mosque because cordoba means Islamic victory of an attack caused by them.

  • @019na LMAO! noob! get out of here. go, lol. if you dont like FREEDOM, get out of the USA!

  • @019na Blacks with their hatred for the whites will stoop to any depravity.

    Arabs killed 400,000 blacks in southern sudan ,there is no equality for blacks in middle East ,no self-respecting arab will marry his daughter to a black man & this idiot talks about peace !

    Ban All Third World Immigration ,they will all conspire with each other to bring us down.

  • My esteem of Simmons has gone down. SO many untruths. America was attacked in the name and ideology of Islam. This is a fact. The 15 story building will not be a place of prayer for all! There will be no church or synagogue with in the building.

  • @jacobk2 your spreading lies. 9-11 was clearly done by US. we the AMERICANS and the OUR GOV commited these crimes against ourselves. we payed the price, now we blame others.

  • @faheemthedream2007 Lies?  You are severely dillusional. Okay Mr. Goebbels nice to meet you. Thi is the 100% truth. Don't try your "taqiya" on me. You can't win.

  • @jacobk2 we have already won! -.-

  • @faheemthedream2007 Muhammad was a paedophile !

  • Comment removed

  • @aynaristo there is no need for disrespectful comments, please respect other religious figures and prophets.

  • @ehda2 With all due respects,Muhammad was a paedophile !

  • @aynaristo get your facts right...read and have some background information before writing things you don't know. He was never a pedophile..He was a messenger of God.

  • @ehda2 A messenger of what God ?????? the Bible says "Satan who is the God of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the good news. They don't understand this message about the glory of Christ,who is the exact likeness of GOD...2 corinthians 4:4 So Islam denies that christ is who he says he was... But having said that I'm compelled to say that at the very core of our own country I.E; Govt. we need to really get right W god.

  • @Ducknbob8 Islam believes in Jesus. Jesus is a religious figure and a prophet in Islam. Islam never denied what Jesus said, because he never said he was God. Other than that, Mohammed was a messenger of God. You ask what God? Are you serious? There is only one God. The God of mankind, the God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Joseph, Isaac, David, and Mohammed. Finally, Islam also mentions to respect other religions, so I kindly ask you to avoid disrespectful comments.

  • @ehda2 Yeah Islam says that Jesus will come back, say is not the son of God, Jesus will brake the cross and he will say he is a muslim. Bible and quran are almost the same: some bad stuff and some good stuff. Anyway as a ex-muslim I do not agree with Islam but I do believe that people have the freedom to believe whatever they want and I also support the mosque on ground zero :)

  • @ikweetnietook I am glad that you have some background in Islam, but I guess you don't have all your facts correct because the Holy Quran is not the word of man to have some bad stuff and some good stuff. There is no fault in the Quran becuase God has no faults and all his words are perfect.

  • @ehda2 That is what you believe and you got the right to believe whatever you want. And I believe in freedom.

  • @ehda2 .. Holy Quran came to you through Mohammad? .. Mohammad killed hundreds of unarmed people and you call him holy? Mohammad tortured people for their treasure and you call him holy? Mohammad took slaves (captives) and sold them like animals.. and you call him Holy? Mohammad started wars and you call him holy? sorry.. do not get it

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Please get your facts right, don't come here blurting incorrect information. Prophet Mohammed never killed an unarmed person, because in Islam if you kill one innocent person its like killing the entire mankind. Also, under his leadership the Muslims fought only when attacked, or in the context of a wider war of self-defense.

  • @ehda2 Mohammad did not kill unarmed people? really.. what about the Genocide of Banu Quraiza? look up references : Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 280, or number 288, or number 176.. or Sunan Abu-Dawud Book 38, Number 4390. Sunan Abu-Dawud is another collection of hadith regarded to be sahih. ... What these people and boys put theirs heads infront of the swords and threatened the prophet? prophet had to kill these people because God could not protect the prophet?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe In an effort to unite the city in peace, the Prophet Muhammad drafted the Covenant of Medina (mithaq-i-Medina) in 622 CE, whose general terms were - Muslims and Jews shall live as one people, each one of the parties shall keep to its own faith, and neither shall interfere with that of the other. In the event of a war with a third party, each was bound to come to the assistance of the other, provided the latter were the aggrieved and not the aggressors.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe continued..In the event of an attack on Medina, both shall join hands to defend it and peace, when desirable, shall be made after consultation with each other.In 627, the Quraish (the chief aggressors towards Muhammad) decided to go against the Prophet Muhammad once again, after failing at the battles of Badr and Uhud. Banu Qurayza betrayed the Prophet and aligned themselves with the Quraishi campaign .

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe After the siege ended, the Quraish defeated again, Banu Qurayza were left alone to face the Muslims they betrayed (going against virtually every principle outlined within the Covenant of Medina). Forced to surrender, the leader of Banu Qurayza was asked “Will you be satisfied, o Aus, if one of your own number pronounces judgement on them?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe continued... When they agreed he said that Sa'd b. Mu'adh was the man.The significance behind this was simple, Sa’ad b. Mu’adh was a Jewish convert to Islam. As a former Jew, Sa’ad knew the Jewish law and according to al mithaq-i-Medina Jewish law dictated the Jewish community, which meant handing down a sentence in accordance with Jewish law: see Deuteronomy 20: 12-14. In the Quran, the rule in Islam is to punish only those who were responsible for the sedition.

  • @ehda2 .. Jesus teaches us that it is God that makes judgement and final rewards or not.. You seem to think that Muslims know better than God and God needs muslims to judge and punish each other.. Is it that you do not really trust God? Is it that you have to fix God's mistakes? ... Jesus teaches us to Love each other and try resolve all differences before judgement day.. Better be the best we can and let God judge others

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Who said Muslims know better than God..Don't make absurd assumptions! GOD KNOWS BEST. God needs no one to judge and punish each other. Mohammed teaches us to love all the prophets and beleive in all including Jesus. Therefore, we believe in Jesus' teachings for Jesus' teachings are the same as Mohammed's teachings, they are all prophets. God has no mistakes to be fixed he is PERFECT Prophet David killed Goliath, are you trying to say he is fixing God's mistakes?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe I really hope you learn about Isalm because it seems you have no idea about it. GOD is the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. He is the Lord of mankind and The Only Owner of judngement day and he needs no one. We are the ones who need him and ask for His help (for each and everything).We are nothing without him, for only He is worthy of worship and guidance.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe In the end, Islam respects all religions and relgious figures. I too respect every faith.

  • @ehda2 please explain how your military book respect other religions? like 9.5? lay and wait and if they do not convert kill them? do you really think this is the world of God? do you think God created the whole universe and needs mulsims make his children belong to a military school? Rather than enjoy what God created, islam seems busy killing those that do not agree! where is the respect?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe If you actually read the book, you would understand how it respects other religions. Everyone's God-given human dignity must be respected, regardless of their religion, race, ethnic origin, gender, or social status (17:70). Because everyone is created by God Almighty, the Maker of All, humans must treat one another with full honour, respect and loving-kindness. The Qur'an states clearly that freedom of religion is a God-given right (18:29), (10:99)

  • @ehda2 .. Islam puts muslims above God.. Muslims cut off people hands, Muslims cut off peoples heads.. it is muslims that brutally stone people to death.. where have you been? And is it any wonder Mohammad killed people and then said Allah told me? very convenient.. Mohammad tortured people for their treasure>> hmm there is a holy man that you can trust? or has He and his caliphes tricked muslims to be their slaves.. think about it

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Islam never ever puts muslims above God. Muslims are Allah's servants and worshippers. They worship only one God. No one is above God. Get your facts right! Mohammed never tortured people for their treasure. Your priests don't get married because they are holy and pure, although you marry off God and make him have a son. Are they above God? Please don't go assuming things.

  • @ehda2 .. every time muslims cut off the hands of a sinner then you are taking from this man what God gave Him.. you are putting yourself above God.. You Judge the man or woman because you do not think God is capable! If a person wishes to leave Islam you condemn that person to death in how many countries? God existed before Islam and people existed before islam, but what? God does not exist outside of the quran? I have not seen the sky fall down when the quran was burned.. did you?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Not many leave Islam, it is the FASTEST GROWING RELIGION IN THE WORLD! Also, the sky wont fall down when the quran was burned because we never thought it would fall. But did burning the quran solve your problem? It just showed how much these people including yourself suffer from something called ISLAMOPHOBIA! God exists outside the Quran, just as HE exists outside the Bible and the Torah.

  • @ehda2 I know it is not your Job to judge me or any other person.. God is my judge.. but what does your quran teach about people that do not believe islam? ! you can try you taquiya regarding Islam, but the only person you fool is yourself. you know what Islam teaches about the Kafir.. 8.23, or ver 9.5 and so many other references that I KNOW you know what i am talking about! You do not know Jesus .. Jesus is a great Champion who showed by great miracles that He is close to God.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe The Qur'an (meaning Recitation) is, for Muslims, the finalword of God and as such contains His divine message to mankind as revealed to His Prophet Muhammed.

  • @ehda2 Which version of the quran? search 'Syro Aramaic Quran'.. you will discover the oldest version is written in Aramaic the language of the time and badly translated into Arabic.. Just another taquiyaa practiced on you for your own good.. thats right, badly translated.. the 'Huri' are just white grapes those that enter heaven..

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe There are rigorous conditions that have to be met before the hadd punishment can be implemented, briefly they are - The item stolen must be of inherent high value and not any ordinary common day item

    - The item must have been stolen by means of stealth

    - The item must have been in a location such that its theft must be difficult

    - The crime must be proven by means of two impartial witnesses

  • @ehda2 .. once again you seek to judge.. and defend cutting off hands, killing people! and what are people always right on who they blame! who do you believe.. why risk you innocence before God to judge another without even trying to understand.. The Teachings of Jesus are very difficult to understand for those that do not trust God..

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe So as you can see, the punishment is virtually impossible to apply to theft in necessity (e.g. people stealing to feed themselves or their family etc etc) and only applies to serious cases of actual theft which would correspondingly earn real sanctions (i.e. prison) in the west also, even then the conditions make it a very rare occurance; Islams rigorous punishment is a more effective deterrent of such theft.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe It's seen as just because not only does it prevent the thief from stealing anything again via. non-fatal wounds, it also alerts anyone else around him that this man is a thief.

    So, imagine this by cutting off a thief's hands, the thief is no longer able to steal, and is in that respect no longer able to sin.

  • @ehda2 some people believe that people who are shown love and respect will not steal from you.. and if they steal what can they take? your innocence before God? see if you trusted God then you would trust that God's life lessons are the true lessons.. Once you learn to trust God you will understand this.. Look to Jesus for guidence

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Oh so after accusing Islam, Prophet Mohammed, the Quran and Muslims you are now calling me a LIAR since Im lying to you and myself! Oh, and your advising me to look to Jesus for guidence. I will always beleive in Jesus' teachings and his teachings never said WORSHIP ME. Why should i seek guidence from a Prophet who is a man. He gets cold in cold weather and hungry when there is no food. I'd rather seek guidence from the ONE AND ONLY CREATOR, and Jesus' maker ALLAH=GOD.

  • @ehda2 .. Jesus was a great man, who did great things and shows us all that He is closer to God than any man.. Jesus is praised a a champion, as a great teacher .. Jesus taught us "I am the Truth, he Way and the Light, and no one goes to the father except through me".. The more i learn from Jesus, the more i recognise this as truth.. follow who you like .. those that live the life of Jesus experience His miracles in heir everyday life

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Not just a great man, friend. He and Christian teaching doesn't give us that option and denying what He is, is to deny who He is. You are free to believe what you like in the way you want, but that belief if not aligned with evidence becomes an untruth. There is a reason Christ asks the questions, "Who do they say that I am?" and "Who do you say that I am?" There is a reason He was rejected by religious authorities of the time and a reason Christianity believes as it does. Peace.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe and Muslims dont just go off cutting hands of sinners. As I said earlier there are rigorous conditions before such an act should take place.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Get background information before attacking a religion with your biased assumptions and thoughts. Especially since you suffer from Islamophobia your cure would be to sit down, relax and think twice before blurting nonsense. Sit down and read about Islam through a clear mind and heart.

  • @ehda2 .. I have a lot of back ground information on Islam.. and i have been trying to answer you with logic.. sorry if you are not prepared to truly discuss this

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe You know what whatever I say, you will continue to disrespect Islam. Where is the freedom of faith? Didn't Jesus teach you to love others, I think you should start from there and respect others. All your comments were disrespectful towards Islam. Dont you beleive in freedom of faith? READ THESE WORDS CAREFULLY: Better be the best we can and let God judge others.To you be your religion, and to me my religion. Judge yourself and don't go on disrespecting a whole religion.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe All Muslims believe in Jesus' teachings. If you truley believed in Jesus' teachings you would respect Prophet Mohammed just as you respect they neighbour. You would love other religions since Jesus teaches you to love. Better be the best we can and let God judge others, so it is not your job to come judge Islam.

  • @ehda2 .. If Muslims truly understood Jesus then they would reject most of Islam.. So you know the name Jesus, you know Mohammad also acknowledged Jesus.. but you have no idea of what Jesus teaches.. Do you know what Jesus says the greatest Commandment before God are? do you?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Islam believes in Jesus' teachings and love him like they love Prophet Mohammed, Abraham and Moses. It is not our job to judge you and neither is it your job to judge Islam. As I said earlier, Better be the best we can and let God judge others.To you be your religion, and to me my religion.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe There is no contradictions in the word of God for God is perfect and has no fault. Read the book with a clear mind and without thinking about 9/11 terrorists. Every Quran in the world is the same without errors, it hasn't been rendered and changed by man. Also, in Islam all believers should believe in all the prophets and respect every one. If not they are not a Muslim. Through the Quran, we learn that killing an innocent individual is like killing all of mankind.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Also, Prophet Mohammed was the first among the major military figures of history to lay down rules for humane warfare, and that he was scrupulous in limiting the loss of life as much as possible.

    Please get some background information about holy figures and Islam before saying nonsense. Also, please do not categorize and profile every muslim as terrorists with no heart and mercy who kill infidels. This is not true, and only propaganda.

  • @ehda2... you said it yourself Mohammad is a Military figure.. a man of war .. and you call him a prophet? seriously? what is holy about killing others? what you think that God need man to kill what He created? You put yourself above God and think that you are better than God.. could this be why muslims suffer so much?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe HE was a PROPHET and the last messenger of God. Prophet mohammed was not the only prophet who had an army. Also, he didn't kill anyone for no reason. When you are in battle, do you just stand and wait to be killed? Here you go again, WHO put themselves above God?? Prophet Mohammed never put himself above God, he always said he was God's humble servant. All mankind is God's creation, and only God is Great and everyone is equal.

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Had this slaughter actually happened, jurists would have adopted it as a precedent. In fact exactly the opposite has been the case. The attitude of jurists, and their rulings, have been more according to the Qur'anic rule in the verse, "No soul shall bear another's burden."

  • @ehda2 .. had it happened? so now you question parts of your own 'holy' books.. Are you interested in finding God? or trying to make sense of a book that is full of contradictions?

  • @TheJoeB1Kanobe Why do you attack a whole religion, the quran and prophet Mohammed because you are too biased and see what you want to see and believe what you want to believe and assume what you want to assume? Besides Christianity, Islam is the only religion on earth that accepts the miraculous birth of Jesus. I haven't disrespected your holy book in any way. In the end, I say to you, To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islamic Monotheism).

  • @ehda2 .. If you respect Jesus that is for your own good not mine.. Jesus teaches Love is the path to God.. Jesus tells us to trust in God's justice.. If people of this planet just obeyed the two greatest this planet would be paradise.. 1 Love God with your heart and soul and mind.. 2 love your neighbor and indeed even your enemy. be thankful that you have to opportunity to prove your worthiness for God..

  • Russell kicks knowledge , RIGHT ON MY BROTHER !!!

  • Read those surahs and tell me one more time that Islam (submission) is a "religion" of peace!

    3:28, 4:34, 4:56, 4:89, 4:100, 4:101, 5:51, 8:12, 8:39, 8:60, 9:5, 9:29, 9:111, 16:106, 24:13, 47:4, 65:4, 98:6

  • @xP3AC3MAK3Rx whats your point? lol. taking versus out of context!? ROFL. people are not as stupid as you are. get over it. you picked on the blacks, native americans, etc. and what did you call them? Savages, ETC. you just gave muslims another name 'terrorists'..same difference. we americans have nothing better to do, but to pick on something thats foreign to us. NOOBS!

  • If this cultural center is supposed to help bridge the gap between the east and the west why is it being built in America? We Americans have been tolerant when we had absolutely no reason to be so and as you can plainly see that tolerance will only go so far before we start asking ourselves have we been too tolerant?

    I’m sure that there are many countries that need a center for teaching tolerance more than America does.

  • Muslim loving nigger.

  • I wonder if Russell Simmons is aware of this beautiful Islamic teaching: "Whoever listens to a female singer, molten lead will be poured into his ears on the Day of Judgement." (Dha'ifu-Jami' As-Saghir Lil-Albani no. 5410 and Ad-Dha'ifah no. 4549)

    It is wise to remain silent concerning that about which one knows nothing.

  • Russell Simmons is an ignorant man who doesn't know what he's talking about. He is also a coward. Islam is a religion of supremacy and conquest. If Muslims wanted to make a gesture of reconciliation, building a mosque on Ground Zero is the last thing they should do. Instead, they should build a church in Mecca and the Saudi royal family should donate the money.

  • @Jakareh75 Are you seriously arguing that US shouldn't be tolerant because Saudi Arabia isn't?
