@DanGRtheMan because he is a Greek convert to Islam. Do you know how ignorant you sound?

[QuranTafseer]

@AmazinMaz1 Dawkins said he doesn't debate debaters " his lame excuse! "

[HazardExtreme]

PROUD TO BE A MUSLIM !

[itaqullah]

@DanGRtheMan oh my.... there's a "british muslim accent" now? *facepalm*

[itaqullah]

@DanGRtheMan Many if not most Greeks have darker/tanned skin. Now that he has a beard, he looks more "middle eastern". *facepalm*

[Darknss2Light]

@DanGRtheMan haha, thats soo ignorant, a little effort is needed to realise that his name is Andreas Tzortzis a greek name, the only muslim bit is his 1st name Hamza, which he included after he became a muslim.

I have a questions which i really been dying to find out till now. Will atheist really continue to be atheist even after they have reached to a very very old age, maybe like 90 or 100 years old, and with many terminal illness and sickness too, just waiting for probably another 1 or 2 more years to die? Bottom line is, i really would love to hear some words from a real self confessed 90 or 100 years old atheist here in youtube, IF there really is one!
