Dr. Tawfik Hamid - "The Roots of Jihad" 3/6

Dr. Tawfik Hamid - "The Roots of Jihad"
When he was in medical school, Dr. Hamid was himself an early participant in an Egyptian terrorist group, along with Dr. Zawaheri, now the #2 man in Al Qaeda.
Born in Egypt to a secular Muslim family, Tawfik Hamid joined the extremist Islamic group Jamma'a Islameia, when he was a student in medical school. In his studies he was learning to heal, but in his thoughts, as he says, he "dreamed to die for Allah and to share in terrorist acts." His colleague in these formative days of the terror movement was Dr. Al Zawaheri, then an acquaintance with whom Tawfik used to pray, and now the number 2 person of Al Qaeda.
Eventually Dr. Hamid questioned the hatred and impulses to violence that participation in extremist Islam was fomenting within him. He became a physician, specializing now in medical education, and also a scholar of Islamic texts. When he began to preach in Mosques to promote a message of peace instead of violence and hatred, however, he himself became a target of the Islamic extremists who had been his friends. They threatened his life, forcing him and his family to flee Egypt, and then Saudi Arabia. As Dr. Hamid says "The powers of darkness were overwhelming and I was forced to emigrate with my family to the West seeking freedom."

• REFORMED EX - TERRORIST SPEAKS TRUTH OF ISLAM - I HOPE POOR LOST MUSLIMS FIND THE TRUE FAITH - THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SALVATION IS JESUS CHRIST

•

[ramsassiva]

• Pg - 1

Scriptures regarding the divinity of Christ, and showing that before he came to earth in the flesh, Christ created the universe, in his heavenly, glorious form:

 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word [Jesus] was with God, and the Word was God.

[ramsassiva]

• Pg - 2

 The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:1-14

Great brave man not because he attacks Islam because that is not going to serve any cause but the aim is to educate the west about the ominous future waiting for the entire world if we do not understand the danger of the extremists. My own assessment that the danger for the west is greater than the Muslim and Arab world because the west is too naïve and they find the good environment to spread their ideology through what they call freedom and political correctness.

[ismailsukardi]

The doctor is a confused believer of Islam. He should know that those terrible things done by terrorist who called themselves muslim and did injustice to another human being or even animal is not a true muslim.

[hoyfanofboulder]

How about before the occupation?

How about before the world wars?

How about before the inquisotion? etc etc etc?

[mubashir56]

How about Muslims reacting to occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan and the oppressions of Palestinians aided by the US?

Why not bring this up as a main factor Tawfik??

[jewjob]

Just masterbate and the peace will come. LOL this is a great excuse.

[Kurtlane]

If until fairly recently Egyptians were not Salafi (Wahhabi), what were they?

Not Sufi. Sufism has always been a very rare form.

What is/was moderate, but not secular Islam? Just about everything I know about Koran and Hadiths is so violent and so deceptive and self-deceptive, it surprises me that any civilization at all could be built on it.
