Deepak Chopra about his new novel on the life of Muhammad

[jinggojonah]

This man's courage is awesome. He is clearer about Allah than many Muslims around the world. He says: Allah is One. Allah is Omniscient, Omnipresent, Omnipotent. Allah is all Merciful.

We (Allah) are CLOSER to him (man) than (his) jugular vein - Quran 50 :16

[KSJdn]

The interviewer is very ill-informed. It is obvious that he hasnt done any homework on Islam to conduct the interview. The perception that women are forced to wear Hijaab in Muslim countries is ridiculous!!!!!

excellent points made here! light and blessings.

[snafial]

I don't know how to rate this video, Deepak is great, the other guy is horrible!

[MrSA1829]

@snafial I think that they have been good friends from way back. Seems to me that I saw that somewhere. Alan Seinfeld always gets Deepak for his first interview each time he begins a new cycle of interviews....

[Baadshahforever]

Chopra is so getting a fatwa on his ass. Pass the popcorn please!

[psandbergnz]

My understanding is that Muhammed was little more than a plunderer and warmonger. He killed many people - not all in self-defence.

[Faysalaaa]

@psandbergnz But Mohammed did not even start 1 war!

[psandbergnz]

@Timeofflux, can you explain why Jews being descendants of 10th century Russian converts would signify that something "sinister" was going on, and do you know the name of the book?

[ankhaton]

Channelling is very indirect and sometimes dangerous -=- because when there is a Holy Spirit, . . there are UNHOLY too and some like Lucifer have IQ above a million -=- Much better is what Maulana Rumi ond so many Saints , Jesus included said ! -=- To be absorbed completely in God's Spirit , . . is to know Her

[BachTantra]

A good book.

Interesting analysis of jews and muslims as cousins fighting for a land like it happens with families. I see the muslims as the younger and spoil ones that even when the jews say "ok, have that", they say "ok, but now I want more, I want all that is yours". The land of the jews is so small and the muslims have so much more, but they can't get satisfied. I just hope this family finds harmony soon.

This interview had the potential to get deep & interesting. The questions are more like banter.

This interview had the potential to get deep & interesting. The questions are more like banter. The interviewer says: "Islamic friends", there is no such as islamic friends - its Muslim friends. Mr. Chopra has the pool of knowledge, and was willing to talk - but somehow they did not move beyond the typical middle America line of questions. Then again, maybe that was the aim.

[rarenivas]

The devil comes disguised as an angel of light, obviously it was not Gabriel that appeared to him!

[absba9]

@rarenivas obviously? interesting.

prove it without the bible? you can't

[rarenivas]

@absba9 How can you prove something that pertains to the bible with out the bible? Can you prove i am wrong, using anything you like?

[absba9]

@rarenivas for your statement to stand the test, it has to be built on a background we both agree on. i don't think the bible can be proof of itself more than i agree that this sentence is a proof of itself. its like saying the bible is right because it says its right.

[Loumademe]

Citizen Kane??? Funny guy. I picked up the book for a friend but didn't realize it was a novel - an interesting turn for Chopra. Is it wrong to assume that because he channels the "consciousness of his characters" that Chopra has no personal ideological/political perspective?
