  • when spanish jews expelled from spain, did jews come to muslim ottoman empire??? you re joking, ottoman empire was 40 percent christian till 1915, jews came to cities like izmir(smyrna), istanbul(constantinople),salon­ika, both cities are not muslim at that time,at least 50 percent greek christians.say true,be true,sephardic jews din not emigrate to saudi arabia,if islam is that perceft,why is there a country of saudia arabia on earth without woman rights,human rights....

  • ottoman turkey was succesfull for 500 years ,because 40 percent of population is greek orthodox christians,armenian gregorian christians and jews,both these groups worked for the otooman empire as busisnespeople,jewellers,artis­ans,navy officers,translators,etc,today turkey is 99,9 percent muslim,maybe in the future if christianisty is introduced and planted churches in turkey and 30-40 percent poulation become christians ,it will be much democratic.otherwise no light at the end of tunnel.

  • mustafa akyol is from turkey,turkey is the most developed country once in 60 islamic countries,but its turning to sharia law slowly everyday, 70 percent of woman in turkey wear,hicap or niqap,woman are 50 percent illiterate. Prophet mohammed had 12 or some wifes,youngest was aisha who happened to mary at 6 and had intercourse at 9.what to say more!

  • @TheChristianityWatch Right, so you claim there are no Islamic states? Whether they contradict qurap and hadith is secondary. They still hold this child rapist muhamad as prophet and example to SOME extent. And he was filth, so to the extent that they DO follow him, then that's the extent of their stupidity and evil.

    Islam is garbage, because muhamad was garbage. It would be great if there were NO states that followed anything he taught

  • @genji77 With all do respect, Von Mises is fking human. He was not a scholar of Islam, he didn't even have basic knowledge of fundamental beliefs.

  • forget this junk, the Islam Heaven is full of sex! you wood b stoopid not to become Muslim! These guys would be sex freaks is they were not Muslim. So, do it the right way. Get those Virgins!

  • @1wowee

    And who said 'Islamic' states are Islamic? No, they're just Muslim by name. There's MAJOR Islamic loopholes in every Muslim country which openly contradicts the Quran and Hadith and early Islamic history.

  • @paulvahur Soviets were not violent against their own people because they were atheist. They did it as a result of A. Abusive parenting B. Communism. 

  • @MooseOfReason no they were cruel koz they were tyrants religion or no religion isnt a emphasise of difference between us. and this guy is the dumb a welfare state is not a socialist state its a capitalist state with social programs!

  • 2:46 - "... taste grits as breakfast, which was quite an experience."
