What is the purpose of this video?

Hey there Tanicka,

This video discusses why many Muslims in North America are having a difficult time holding on to their religion and suggests solutions to the problem.

It's a really good video and will give you an insight to a problem many people are ignoring.

Jeffbrown: I just have to correct you lies and hate against Islam Bro:)..Its just amazing that the biggest and most successful dawah campaign actually taking place in todays world resulting in soooo many reverts to Islam is actually the Misconceptions and anti-islamic propaganda being spread, resulting in so many ppl reading up on Islam..... Sub7anAllah even you Jeffbrown lol islam hater ur unintentionally leading people straight to Islam. Allah works in mysterious ways..)

Allahu Akbar:

peace

You can try as hard as you can to evade giving me the evidence that i asked for about the contradictions in the quran you stated existed. And oh yes isnt it ironic that your goverments system nuked japan and now you seek refuge in japan because of the economic struggle that your country is going through. Your pathetic.If you have anymore questions about islam i advise you ask some great japanese muslims. They will explain islam briefly and greatly to you!!!

Religion is a metanarrative that provides people with inspiration, meaning and values. An alternative metanarrative that isn't based on supernaturalism and isn't dogmatic is called; religious naturalism. If you're doubting your religion and want to know if you're life can have meaning without religion, I recommend 3 books; Cosmos by Carl Sagan, Sophie's world by Jostein Gaarder, and The God delusion by Richard Dawkins... The story of human enquiry is beautiful /watch?v=r6w2M50_Xdk

@ukapplejazz its not important that u re a muslim or not for them.islam for example forbids the current bank system ,interest etc these re the rules that i like from islam altough im agnostic or something like that.

This man is brilliant.

[salemslot777]

they have planned and Allah too have planned and Allah is the best of all planners. So Muslims .. do not despair but continue to become better people and have faith in Allah and be patient because Allah is with those who are patient.

We can only give a true image of Islam if we lead by example and become better at seeking knowledge and contributing to society.

May Allah have mercy on us all human beings as His creation.
