-------------------------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.

James Camper I’m a muslim and I have to agree on Alex on this debate, just this particular debate. I think Hijap completely misunderstood Alex’s statement. In any debate it’s always important to understand the other person and listen. Hijab, I do admire him for his knowledge but when it comes to debates he is already fixed in what he believes in. I think he should have listened to Alex a lot more. I’m a muslim, I don’t agree with everything Hijab has said in the Oxford debate. I’ve seen much better debates from muslims who actually listens to their opponents.

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.

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.

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.

hijab is a verbal bully with zero listening skills and zero wish to understand anyone. he just wants to bully others into his beliefs by whatever dirty means needed (twisting your words, putting words in your mouth, endlessly interrupting to not allow anyone to understand you, attacking you, shaming you etc.). you have my deepest admiration to be willing to persist in a debate with such an appaling bully, as someone needs to do it for all of our sake... but it is so painful to even watch, i cannot even imagine what it must feel like to actually be personally subjected to such continued mistreatment .... thank you for your heroic representation.

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. A debate is not a game of out-wording your opponent, the goal isn’t to trick the opposition into agreeing with you.

[@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.

[@jacerockman1031]

Haha, check out his most recent video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3XWlKutm51skLc EDIT: It looks like the video has been set to private or it's been deleted now, but the title was "Is Atheist 'Cosmic' Racist?" and it was about three minutes of Mohammed Hijab talking about how Alex might be racist and showed a clip of one of Alex and Stephan Woodford's (a.k.a. Rationality Rules) conversations where they were discussing morality. In the clip, Alex is talking about the practice of mandating that women wear a burqa in public and he referred to it as something along the lines of "forcing women into cloth bags". Somehow, Mohammed Hijab believes that this is an indication of Alex's racism.
