Dr. Tawfik Hamid - "The Roots of Jihad" 2/6

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."

Another great brave man daring to tell the truth!!

[pirjohelena]

I hope he is working as a doctor now - saving lives in stead of taking lives!

I think sex is a motivation for Jihad, but, I think what's even MORE than the promise of sex, is the threat of hell if you DON'T go out and kill for Allah. See Qur'an 9:111, 38 and 39 to see what I mean. To me, the Qur'an is the most evil and dangerous book on the planet.

This man is clueless in regards to Islamic theological teaching and 'Salafist' teachings. Good lord.

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

@shadysamiha You are lying. Muslims need to stop abusing women.

[kentusmaximus]

Excellent, someone telling the truth about the 7th century desert ideology that Islam.

[najiballah1]

I love Muslim like any human beings in the world and I must admit that I met some of them whom I consider one of the best people I have ever met. However I do believe that there is something in that religion that is not quite right. We know all religions of the world teach love, compassion and peace. There has not been one movement in the name of Islam without violence and blood shed. What can explain that?

Nice to see an exterrorist talk like this
