Great show! I just bought one of Mr. Esposito's books titled "Islam: The Straight Path." Should be a good book.

Nice video.

if anyone knows anything about Islam they would know that it is a made up religion by Muhammad just like Mormonism is a cult made up by Joseph Smith and Scientology made up by L. Ron Hubbard

To Know the Truth Ask a MUSLIM , Not A Wanker

@Eye0fTheStorm What Christianity doesn't have is a command to wage war against living and existing religious communities, whereas a number, indeed the mainstream of Muslim theologians since the early middle-ages have believed that Muslims are in a permanent state of war with Jews, Christians and pagans, until either they submit to Muslim authority, or 2 the Islamic faith.

Canaanites don't exist, the telling of that story is not a commandment but a historical record of what had come to pass.

A) EVIL BOGUS-allah GENUINE-Satan who wars against holy true Allah or B) holy true Allah - AUTHORED Quran 9:29 and, therefore, the Quran and Islam?

Ur "Mr Esposito is really quite simple isn't he?" 2 weeks ago.

Yes indeed, he is REALLY QUITE SIMPLY an intellectual & spiritual GIGOLO, LYING HYPOCRITE.

His praising "FINAL religion from God" Islam and its Mohammed, in EXCHANGE for lucrative monetary and non-monetary benefits from those who hire him by the hour, day, night to praise Islam & its Mohammed - while DECLINING to convert to be a Muslim.

Funny how when your spreading your anti-Islam hate, you don't base it on theological arguments against Islam, but base it on a pathetic attempt at critisizing the few violent passages in the Quran

But when you are confronted with the fact that the bible has both - more numerous AND more obscene violence and commands - you conventiently brush it away on the basis of your own theological dogmas

Which brings us back to Jesus's definition of a hypocrite.

@Eye0fTheStorm of CANADA (5,314).

A) VERY GODLY or B) VERY SATANIC of the author of QURAN 9:29 &, therefore, the QURAN & Islam, to require his followers to (whenever & wherever possible) FIGHT (TO KILL) those who reject him, shud they REFUSE to REGULARLY pay him & his followers GANGSTER JIZYAH PROTECTION MONEY - AND to also require his same followers to protect those who want to live on rejecting him but wud regularly pay him & his followers GANGSTER JIZYAH, FROM GETTING MURDERED BY THEM?

@Eye0fTheStorm of CANADA (5,314)

Ahh, only needful for Satan and his followers to label factualm accurate and truthful exposing Satan's authorship of his Mohammed, Quran & Islam to be hate.

Anything wrong with "violence in the Bible or the Torah/Talmud" - that these violence were there as record of holy true Allah's rightful cullings of evil doers during the early times; of violence by vile sinners and followers of Satan against Him & His followers?

Ahh good old christians.

™ Loving Jesus through hate ™

Jesus said of the hypocrites that they complain about a spec in the eye of others, but don't see the log in their own eye

You cannot compare the Quan to the Bible or the Torah/Talmud

Your puny complaints about verses of violence in the Quran are laughable when compared to the orgy of violence and cruelty that can be found in the bible and Torah/Talmud

The hypocricy of people like you would make satan himself blush
