Tareq Al Suwaidan. This man is another example of the Muslims greasy lying with a straight face. He tries smooth talking the audience, look at them "hmmm....sounds reasonable" What the hell is he really saying, he's a total dickhead.

[EngDayi]

@ihsansville , its obvious that you need to read more , all of your information and analysis about so called wahabia or elekhwan simply wrong , misleading and absurd.

[fbelke]

Salamualaykum brother!

what do you meant by Wahabi & Ikhwani view of Islam & society.

Pls, let me know.

[ihsansville]

Suweidan represents, Ikhwani deviance. they want to turn Islam into a western bastard child. they are colluding with the wahhabis to destroy Islam. Wahhabis make ppl believe Islam is choas, the Ikhwanis say the West is more Islamic!!! what an insult. they are two faces of single coin. ppl, stick with traditionl Islam and reject Wahabi, ikhwani innovations. do u believe the guy? he says get rid of all tradition!! traditional Islam is the way.

[IslamicGoldenAge]

the word "equality" can mean a lot of things.

If by equality you mean "the same", Islamic law is clear that there are cases where men and women are different. And in fact, a general framework is laid that allows both to flourish given their nature.

[greeko25]

I can't believe that there's a debate about that and that there are people claiming women are not equal ! My blood froze eveytime the two persons on the right ( the way i look at the screen ) talked .
