-------------------------VIDEO NOTES-------------------------
Last year I debated Mohammed Hijab on the motion 'Islam explains reality better than atheism'. The debate was a disaster, and I have wanted to review it since it came out.
I originally thought it was so bad just due to the interruptions and talking over each other, but watching it back I realised it is much worse than I thought. Mohammed Hijab, and iERA, the organisation responsible for filming the debate, have some explaining to do.

Growing up in an Islamic state, I often encountered this type of "logic" from muslim "intellectuals." While watching the debate, I could sometimes even anticipate Mohammed Hijab's next moves. What surprised me more was your amazement at his arguments rather than the arguments themselves. In another one of your videos, you pointed out certain drawbacks in Hitchens' debates, including his skillful use of humor and charm to create an impression of correctness even when he was not. In my opinion, this was actually one of his strengths. When dealing with individuals who behave like unruly children, throwing tantrums, kicking, shouting, and interrupting, you don't reason with them; you give them a timeout. Hitchens was a master at using his wit and charm to give these kinds of people a well-deserved timeout.

Lol guys, urs is all hate. U cant just accept the reality.

I mean, u artheis guys are so funny. Il make an example of you... so, there a banana on the table in a house in Iceland ok? What attestato do is refuse to accept the fact that the banana is actually there just because u dont see it;the fact is that u rejecting this fact or not makes not difference, because the banana always has been there and it is still. This same example we can use it to describe you atheist guys... u just dont like the fact that there is a creator and that he is gonna a judge you in the end of time, thats all, so u guys try in every way to put shit on people who believe in this so that ur toughts make sense for 1 time. U guys know it, in the deepest part of ur brain, that Islam is the truth, and no one ia gonna escape the power of God. Not randomly He said that if ALL ( humans and jinns) were to Pray for him, he's not gonna get bigger in any shape or form. At the same time, if ALL (humans and jinn) were to sin day after day non-stop,his kingdom will always remain the same. The pointer is that he doesnt even need you, even ur prayer, even your good deeds. U gotta care about him indeed, because u are just a useless human being, u are gonna a die 1 day and most important u dont even know what is going to happening to your Body and Soul, but you guys can well refuse the existance of a Creatore XD cringe no? So he doesnt need you and ur atheist mentality. The ones who are gonna pay for disbelievening are you, so if u are happy with this material life and ur evil doeings, well, than enjoy until u can, cuz time is short, im sure u remeber when u were 10 years old as it was yesterday... 60 years old are coming soon, if u reach them.

As a Christian I really appreciate Alex and his very rational questions to having faith in God. He tests the evidence and thought process of theists, which is really important.

I think it’s truly important to recognise that atheism does not mean blatant denial of the existence of any deity or divine entity. As an atheist myself, it is in my personal experience that I have not found any reason to believe in a pre-existing deity, however this does not mean I don’t believe there will ever be any reason to. I think it’s important that people like Alex challenge beliefs, because through admittance to mistakes or oversights, theists can develop both a stronger understanding of their cause and its nature, and a stronger arguments as to why people like myself should believe in it

I don’t get why you would even engage in a discussion if you’re not open to learn something new. Same goes for a debate. You can make your point but you have to consider your opponents view as well - and do so in an honest way.

[@0x777]

​@@farmuhqas With the difference that my statement was not thoghtless but can be shown to actually be quite logical. A religious person literally puts their life on the line when debating religion. They are invested in their position with pretty much their whole life adjusted and aligned along the idea that there is a specific deity or pantheon and that if this was not true, they would not only lose the meaning in their life but also they would lose the support of their peers, likely their friends and family, maybe even their income. Losing a debate in a devastating way could very well mean their end. How many irreligious people do you know who are that invested in "atheism"? Personally, I'm not. If you could field a logical argument for a god, hey, ok, so I'll believe. So far, nobody has brought one up that could be considered sensible, but I'm not adverse to keep trying. I have no stake in the game, technically, because I wouldn't lose anything if I was shown to be wrong. If anything, I could win that way. And now your argument for why you cannot expect a honest debate with an irreligious person.

@@prostoname5338 "the primary function/ purpose of monotheistic religions is to establish good and evil" that is your interpretation of the purpose of why those religions were made. The most likely purpose of the invention of most monotheistic religions was to have political control over the people. It is easier to enforce law under one God, in contrast to enforcing law when there are multiple Gods that might even stand for different things. Not to mention that is completely irrelevant, the purpose of something does not in any way affect its veracity. Not to mention, that how do you even know what is the purpose of all monotheistic religions, and how do you know what is the purpose of magic. It is nothing but an over generalization based on a personal and completely subjective interpretation of both, in the purpose to separate both in terms of narrative when the narrative was never in question, but its veracity. Purpose is entirely irrelevant when both are equally fantastical. Unless purpose adds veracity somehow, but if that was the case then it would add veracity to all myths and legends. Which would prove God as much as it would prove Zeus, and every other single God, therefore making Monotheistic religions false because they claim to be the only one.

As a muslim, that's a very funny and accurate impression haha. But ofc I have to make my stance clear... This one sided review where he can prepare arguments to back up his arguments isnt a fair, or respectable thing to do. I think a review where he reviews his own conduct and arguments is very valid, and would be nice to see. But this is just slander, and parts are dishonest. I think he should instead accept he did poorly in the debate and evaluate why, instead of pin it all on "mohammed did this, mohammed did that, it was all rigged ! That's why I waited a year to make this video!" Though, that said, I dont approve of Mohammed's conduct during that debate.

[@thebuddercweeper]

@@TheJwaad To call whatever that thing was a debate is to make a mockery of the term. Mohammed Hijab behaved disgracefully, and making a video bringing that to our attention is not only a respectable thing to do, it is the only thing he *can* do to call attention to the dishonesty, of which you have seen proof if you’ve watched the video. If I play a game of chess against a cheater, should I “accept I did poorly in the game and evaluate why”? Of course not! I should, if I am playing in a club, report the cheater, or if playing casually, decide never to play with them again and call them out on it. I’d very much like to see which parts of this video are dishonest, because as far as I’m concerned, Alex showed enough concrete evidence to doubt Mohammed’s honesty in every section.

[@TheJwaad]

​@@thebuddercweeper I agree, it's hard to call it a debate, and that Mo behaved disgracefully. But it's a stretch too compare Mo to a cheater. Your comment implies the only thing that went on in the 2 hour original debate was Mo screaming over cosmic's every word. Though of course having seen the debate, Mo did do that a lot, but that wasn't the only thing. He responded to arguments and put forward his own (it's been a year since then so correct me if i'm wrong). So i think a more accurate analogy is you're playing a chess game, and your opponent is being noisy when you're planning your move, and distracting you, which is very crappy of them, but it's unfair to say it's the only reason you lost. (I don't think hijab won the debate though, i think the debate was just a mess) Im ofc muslim (no shock there). And in islam we have to hear both sides before we make a decision. And i won't make excuses for Mo, he can do that for himself. My issues are these: This is stuff that should be handled 1st privately, and if that doesn't work, then publically. So if this was a genuine attempt to shed light on dishonesty and underhandedness (which i agree is an important thing to do), why didn't he attempt to talk to Mo about these things 1st (privately) and instead jumped straight on making a case against him. If that wasn't the point of the video (exposing the dishonesty), and it was instead to review his own arguments (which i think is a fair thing to do, especially if you've improved or changed your stance on some arguments), then in my opinion that shouldn't be laced with mockery and derision of his "debating" partner. So basically, i like what alex says, but not how he says it. In my opinion what would have been the most grown up thing to do, would be get into contact with hijab and record a conversation about the points of "why do you censor comments", "did you purposely cut off my mic" etc, instead of speculating his reasons, and pinning those to him. But for the rest of this video, i think the points he's making in review of the debate are mostly fair, but those should be separate to his (cosmic's) claims of the underhanded business.

[@TheJwaad]

@@thebuddercweeper I realised i forgot to mention what was dishonest. Just briefly, cuz i think i've already typed enough of an essay in my other reply. I retract that, i think the review part of this was honest. (I can't speak on the claims of underhandedness until i hear both sides though, as said in my other comment). I do think the points cosmic makes are honest points. "Dishonest" is wrong of me to say. What i do think though, is that this format isn't a fair thing to do, a post debate one sided argument. He's saying Mo misrepresents him, and in response he's misrepresenting Mo. This is what i meant in my 1st comment, where i was saying a review would be nice, as opposed to just attacking Mo. Also why did he wait til now for this? He said that it was cuz Mo was clickbaiting and such and misrepresenting him by those, but those aren't the focus of this video, a year old debate is. EDIT: Sorry that i made this comment section an argument, the original comment was just a funny joke, but no use crying over spilt milk. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ_JZ4uCbL9sa9k - Heres Mo's side, watch this with the intent to listen, as you did for alex, not with the intent to argue, then make a decision.

Hijab has recorded the footage without a lapel microphone on; in the same venue. You can see with the mic present; just above his left ear there is a half moon indent in the timber paneling; that aligns with same half moon, 3 panels to the right on the non-mic footage; Count 3 panels left and the woodgrain also matches. So in the non-mic shot he is standing in front of the same wall but further to the left. His tie was, on balance, moved when the mic was removed. That footage was taken separately; and I believe was missed from the original color grading post processing because the color grading is certainly very different from the rest of the footage. His tie has been adjusted at the knot also on the non-mic clip; but his pocket square is the same. These both indicate that the footage was taken after his mic was removed at the same venue.

You'll see a lot of comments in those channels saying things like "I'm glad I return to Islam again" or "I was so stupid when I was atheist, thankfully I reconverted to Islam", but you can't find any comment defending atheist views which is suspicious. In debate comment sections on actual neutral channels you always find comments defending both sides.

The moderator didn't do nothing as per usual as the 'fear of offense' outweighs the ability to stand up in what's right.

Using secular values as a defense to destroy and replace with Sharia. We know the game.

If you want to "win" the debate, it's important to know what your goals are.

[@haqq1]

Upon further investigation I must say the first one wasn't really a misquote. It is true that Alex was refering to premise 1 "whatever begins to exist has a cause", but the statement the universe is the only thing that began to exist was his own. Hence he predicate it by saying "IT TRULY DID". To make the affirmation "truly did" means Alex personally agrees with the first premise of the Kalam argument. It wasn't conceeded to give the theists the benefit of the doubt as he suggests in this video. Therefore, Hijab in a sense rightfullly extracted Alex's own agreement of the first premise that the universe is the only thing that began to exist.
