Edip Yuksel's Challenge at Ground Zero

[nlty2000]

Edip Bey dövecek gibi konuşmasanız belki ilgi daha büyük olurdu :)

Allah yardımcınız olsun. ABD'de sistem muhalifi olmanın Türkiye'de sistem muhalifi olmaktan bir farkı yok artık. Hele hele Müslüman muhalif... oy oy oy...

"A can of soda and a bag of chips" XD süper...

[edipyuksel]

@nlty2000 Dövece gibi konuşmamın sebebi şuydu: Megafon kullanmadım. Kullansaydım polis engeli olma ihtimali büyüktü... Orada inşaat var. Çok görültü vardı. Sesimin işitilmesi için bağırmam gerekiyordu. Bağıran adam ya "ya yardım için ağlayan adam" veya "dövmek isteyen" adam olarak algılanır. Şahsen ikincisi olarak algılanmayı tercih ederim. Bu cahil Amerikalılar dövülmeyi çoktan hakkettiler :)

[edipyuksel]

@edipyuksel Niketim, konuşmaya başlar başlamaz bir polis müdahele etti ve beni susturmak istedi; ancak ona Anayasal hakkımı hatırlattım, hukukçu olduğumu bildirdim... Bunun üzerine güvenliğim konusunda endişe ettiklerini bildirdi ve beni kollayacaklarını bildirdi...

[FairGoF]

salams to all from down under, weldone edip, so howmany people did take up the challenge?

[edipyuksel]

@FairGoF I addressed different crowds in about four or five session. After each sessions, a few would approach, but none was interested in debate or 100 dollars. All were very pleased for what they heard and all were interested in getting a copy of the Quran: a Reformist Translation... BTW; this was before the protests staged by the so-called Occupy movement...

[petey75nyc]

[Goldenlegende1]

May peace and blessings be upon all peacemakers of the world regardless there religion !

[edipyuksel]

@Goldenlegende1 Hopefully, we will take back our countries from the war-profiteers and greedy bankers and plunderers. Peace.

I am a muslim revert and have been thru many stages(jihad lover,peace lover,hater of all other religions,then skeptic- i started reading Ibn Warraqs W.I.A.N.A.M......but after reading small parts of the quran: reformist translation;alot of my suspicions of superstition and culture inflencing islam were cleared. a beautiful work. salaams

[edipyuksel]

@petey75nyc Dear Petey. You are a brave person. Not many people dare to questions dogmas peddled by bandwagons. As long as you are sincere and brave in your quest for truth you will be closer to truth than many whose only truth is conformity with their environment.

[edipyuksel]

@petey75nyc I am glad that you have shown the wisdom and bravery to question the dogmas you are raised with... Please post a review at Amazon.com or other onilen websites where the book is offered. It is important since some people have given one star to the book without even reading a page from it. Ironicallly, they boast about this bigotry in their review. Peace. Edip

Aksanin hosuma gitti. Ozellikle o "Saddam Husein was our son of bitch" deyisin beni tebessum ettirdi. I can feel the anger...:) Oklahoma'ya yolun duserse birer kahve icmek isterim. Saglicakla kal, Edip Yuksel..

[edipyuksel]

@Zamanicindezaman Teşekkür ederim dostum. Bana email gönderirsen, tura çıktığım vakit email kutumda şehir isimleri araması yaptırıp seninle irtibat kurma şansım olur :) Selam. Edip

[TheStudentOfAllah]

Nice work... practice your freedom, without the work..its only a theory of freedom that remains. PEACE be on you.

[ogreki11er]

If you love this country as much as I do, you must fight those who will stop at nothing to destroy it.

If we continue to corporations and politicians get away with murder, there is no telling when we, or the people we love, are next!

My hats up. Professor Yuksel, that took guts.

[edipyuksel]

@ogreki11er Thank you for your support. Peace.

[MesMorial]

@ogreki11er

Just one thing (I am sure Edip will agree) - Nationalism is one of the causes of the problems. You should say: "If you love this world/humanity."

Cheers.

[FairGoF]

@MesMorial ah, here is a name i've seen on other videos :), but i think yuksel is being patriotic, as opposed to nationalistic.

[MesMorial]

@FairGoF

I think he is saying that in order to be good, a country must be part of a good world.

[edipyuksel]

@korelmis2 That means you closed your ears and minds while listening to this speech. I had to raise my voice since there was too much noise of construction work around there and it was out door. I did not use amplifier since I would give police and security forces excuse to interrupt and stop me delivering the message of peace. The content of my speech, apparantly you missed, is all about standing against warmongers, military industrial complex and the consumerist and imperialist powers.

[korelmis2]

Heil Hitler! This video reminded me that video that shows Hitler's speech: _Q-6H4xOUrs

[haragfibladi]

@korelmis2 How can you compare Edip here to Hitler!!? I see in his speech an invite to peace, thorough thinking and justice.

Bravo M. Yuksel!

[ricki388]

brave man truthseeker

[zencidana]

Woww, when I read 'challenge', I thought I am gonna watch a 'soft' islamist disappointing video. But it was real 'wooww' from me. Great work.

[spiralia10]

Woww....you actually did that, great work lol.

[equilution]

Nice work, Edip! I'm proud of you for standing up like that!! Wish I could have been there to document it for you. Be well. Jim
