I decided to look at comments while the video buffered.

I made a mistake.

[omar Ahmed]

GODBLESS U FOR THE FIRST TIME I SAW A VIDEO THAT WAS NOT ABOUT HATE BUT FACTS

[Vallecaucanisimo]

What do you mean by "not much bias".......I thought this video wasn't bias at all!!

[TheAbahaziz]

YOU ARE NOT ALONE..

WELCOME TO THE TRUTH.. TO INNER PEACE.

WELCOME TO ISLAM. PLEASE READ THE QURAN.

AMEEN.

"I have read the Sacred Scriptures of every religion; nowhere have I found what I encountered in Islam: perfection. The Holy Qur'an, compared to any other scripture I have read, is like the Sun compared to that of a match. I firmly believe that anybody who reads the Word of Allah with a mind that is not completely closed to Truth, will become a Muslim." Saifuddin Dirk Walter Mosig, U. S.A.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in England and Wales, according to new census data. The number of people identifying with no religion nearly doubled over the last decade while the percentage of people who call themselves Christians has dropped to 59 percent, down from 72 percent 10 years ago, CNSNews.com reports.

"Islam is the fastest-growing religion in America, a guide and pillar of stability for many of our people..." HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON, Los Angeles Times

theabahaziz that flame is one of hell not heven.

[Saeed Hasseli]

They had bunch of gold which is corresponding 20 billion dollars and Muhammad bought his arme out of those gold and finally he managed to chop off as many heads as he wanted :D

[Shah Jahan]

Well said!

[Ozan Demiray]

I don't want to look at comments, either. But I am curious. What do they say?

[Zulfiqar Ali]

willful ignorance and closing eyes to the truth is not a wise thing to do. He didn't tell you that you have to be Muslim, but history and facts deserve to be known by all except by hypocrites who want to live in darkness of organized propaganda in media.

[Zulfiqar Ali]

this video was one of the rarely neutrally researched ideas from US as most of the time your listen about Islam is negative propaganda so that you can be fooled to attack yet another Islamic country and rob them of their resources. on the other hand the best way of dispose old kuranic copies is to burn it. so go for it. :) but you would look like an idiot burning book in you lawn or kitchen while books are meant to be read. just think about it. Peace.

[Zulfiqar Ali]

This video was awesome as it was really neutral and well researched and had not much bias as most of the western historians,people and books have. Its important to know that even educated muslim don't see those years of wars in starting years as a good thing as its forbidden by quran to go to war except defense.
