[@almaami]

@Boeta K. You shouldn't be shocked at all because in the qur'an , Allah swt says that He is talking to people with understandings and i believe that we can find them in any community or nation. Even muslims themselves must read the entire book with understanding so they can on their turn have a point of view of their own instead doing the blind belief. There is a hadith or an ayat that says : your are all witness and you are all accountable. She happens to step up by reading her book in order to do her own judgment knowing that we will be questioned one by one. Peace!!!

If you are a muhammedan you do not dare to use your mind freely. You submitted yourself to the words of muhammed and you must reject everything outside that realm with anger and fanaticism. As a muhammedan you should only let muhammed tell you anything, all other sources of knowledge are suspected to misguide your from muhammeds truth... Yes, it's most relevant so I had to bring this up. Most muslims cannot even read a small part of the bible, they are too scared to even try to understand evolution, muslims must distrust everything and everyone that might contradict the words of muhammed, the only truth a muslim can accept.

[@worfoz]

i did not submit myself to muhammad i submitted myself to God Why do you lie? You reject everything but muhammeds words, you reject all messages from all prophets and only believe whatever muhammed might have said... How do you know muhammed was a "prophet"? God did not tell you, no other prophet had a message like muhammed, muhammed rejected all prophets and their books and replaced their messages with his words... I have no idea why muhammedans like you always have to lie but it's very annoying: you make offensive and false claims and then run saying " i dont want to start an arguement" I don't want to start an argument either: muhammed is a proven liar and muhammedans are trapped in his words and believe even every lie and false accusation and reject reason, facts, logic and truth. Complete submission to one small truth, the world of muhammeds words, the quran. And because they lie about it, they cause trouble wherever they are. Because when muhammed lied that the moon was cracked you take that as a fact because you do not differ between muhammeds words and gods words. Don't tell me what I said was false, you are muhammedan and you blindly belief in all muhammeds words. And not in the bible that rejects every aspect of your sect. And not in the prophets who all could admit their errors, mistakes and even sins, unlike your self-glorifying "most perfect human being ever" narcissist muhammed.

[@worfoz]

i do not lie Well, you do not speak the truth, you parrot words of muhammed. muhammed was not a prophet, read surah 29;27, he claimed he was a prophet so we have to look at those claims first. There is no proof muhammed was a prophet, you use his words as proof because you have nothing else. All the real prophets had completely different messages, not about accepting words of one man, no prophet ever told believers to mention HIS name in prayers, confessions, whatever. Prophets talk about God and Gods messages, muhammed glorified himself and placed him above the prophets and the messiah: stop lying you believe in any of the prophets, stop lying that muhammed is a prophet, stop slandering the prophets are mere slaves of a child rapist. We have names for your kind: muhammedans. We have names for your muhammed: mad man, fraud, liar, child rapist, mass murderer... And we have a name fr people talking like you: liars Cheers

[@worfoz]

Look up (The Shahada For Muslims) It proves I am right: no muhammed no islam so everyone who knows can never be a muslim, and all the prophets in the Bible knew that they would all reject your cult about muhammed, your real god and the only one you really believe in: the alla muhammed told you about is muhammed himself, his associate and servant. So there is no god in islam but there is muhammeds world of words and you should stop offending God, the bible, Christians, Jews and everybody else.

If one studies the Quran, research the biography of the Prophet and the true history of Islam, one will have it no other way but to love, admire, and respect the simple but extra-ordinary life of Muhammad on whom peace be. This is the reason why most Islamophobes out there try their best to do everything possible to keep the mases of Non-Muslims away from knowing the true history of that great and blessed Soul. As a Jew, Lesley Hazleton is for sure not a follower of Islam, but definately she is a perfect example of a sincere human being who values truth. Of Course i dont agree with everything she says; especially the things she says about her personal opinions, but for sure i do admire her sincereity. Researching anything from the right sources does not mean accepting it, but it does mean getting it right and telling it as it is. May God bless ALL human beings especially the sincere ones. Muhammad`s History or His true Story lives forever:)!

[@neluroman555]

“I came to the absolute conviction that it is impossible…impossible…for any human being to read the biography of Mohammed and believe in it, and then emerge a psychologically and mentally healthy person.” - Syrian Psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan I assure you that this ex-Muslim, Dr. Wafa Sultan studied the Quran and researched the biography of Muhammad, and that is why she says what she says. Let me show you another source for evaluating who really was Muhammad Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, " I have been made victorious with terror." -- Sahih al-Bukhari 2977, (on Jihaad), Book 56, Hadith 186 If Muhammad was a prophet of God surely God would have choose another way than terror to make Muhammad victorious. Julio, either you lie here or you are a naive, a credule who took seriously Islamic propaganda, taqiyya ( islamic divine lie). Muhammad committed all the sins possible from marrying a child, murdering mass people, assasining people. (men, women) for their only fault of criticizing him, attacking peaceful communities and so on so on. He died as he lived, in a very shameful way, assassinated by a humble Jewish woman whose entire family Muhammad had massacred. What love and admiration can someone have for such a man?

[@julio14335]

Nelu Roman : You are using the fallacy known as begging the question. That is making false Conclussions before asking the questions. The people you are listerning to or the intepretations you choose to hold on to will never cure ur disease heart. Why dont you choose to listern to World renounced thinkers like Michael Hart, Muhatma Gandi, George Banard Shaw etc. concerning what they say about Muhammad. You talk about a discrafeful Death, which death is more discrafeful than a so called god that is Striped naked , laugh at, be betting on a Cross and on a broad daylight by the same Jews you are talking about. Do you even know how old was the mother of ur lord Jesus when she got married to Joseph the Carpenter. You people should Stop Slapping urselves on the face.

[@neluroman555]

Julio Koster, I didn't beg for any question, I only drafted some conclusions based on what I read in Muhammad's Sirah and Hadiths. "Why dont you choose to listern to World renounced thinkers like Michael Hart, Muhatma Gandi, George Banard Shaw " All these people, even if famous, lived 1400 years after Muhammad. I prefer to believe in the sayings of people who lived 200 years after Muhammad and were his admirers. The problem is that then when you read what these people wrote about Muhammad, you cannot have other conclusion than one similar to that of Syrian Psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan: "... it is impossible…impossible…for any human being to read the biography of Mohammed and believe in it, and then emerge a psychologically and mentally healthy person.” Jesus died on cross for our sins, Muhammad died in huge pain because his own sins. The mighty Roman Empire and the Jewish leadership came together to put Jesus to death. But for your mighty prophet it was need of only a humble Jewish woman to put him to death. You said that, " which death is more discrafeful than a so called god that is Striped naked , laugh at, be betting on a Cross and on a broad daylight " But that is a clear logical fallacy based on fake premises, as you don't believe that Jesus died on cross. As per your Quran, Jesus was saved by Allah from dying on cross, right? Therefore, what are you talking about here? Lying and trying to fool the people, is that all you can?

[@julio14335]

Nelu Roman: What do you want from me friend. Look buddy am not in the mude for any religious campaigns ok. Politician do that all the time go there, but pls not on religious sites. I dont know why you even try to compare ur god to a human being, i guess that because deep down you know Jesus was not God, but just a human like any other human being...the different been he was sent by God to the Israelite (Messiah) as in the Bible. How long do you People need to know just like the Bible, Hadiths book are the saying of People about Jesus and Muhammad respectively. We believe everything in the Quran, but quites the opposite we dont believe everything in Hadiths book. You just Keep on wasting ur time to go to Hadiths books to look for faults about the Messenger instead of the message itself. You say the "Mighty Roman Empire and the Jewish Leadership came together to put ur god Jesus to death". Which means the Romans and the Jewish leadership were "Mighty" than ur god Jesus. What a shame, you dont even realise the words you are saying is very negetive towards ur god. What you dont say is how do they killed him, was that a peaceful death or was it a disgraceful one. Anyone who is executed on a cross was/is coursed by the God of Jesus or by the God of Israel according to the Bible or according to the Jewish tradition right. What is more troubling for you is, was ur god coursed by his God. I believe in the historical Jesus as a Prophet and the Messiah which the Jews ur friends who killed him dont to begin with. So i dont compare Jesus and Muhammad, if you want to its ur choice go ahead. You only need to know those Non-Muslims world renounced thinkers i pointed you to are from differents back grounds, some of them even are from Christian back grounds. They have already done the comparison for us, and unfortunately for you they put Muhammad top on the list, ur lord didn`t even came close 2nd, ur apostle Paul is, ur lord is 3rd on the list. Dont tell me they were Paid for doing that- were they?

[@neluroman555]

Fahad Danladi, it was a torture for me to resist head-tail to this one-woman-show, believe me. First off, if she were my wife(30 years younger) I would run away and never come back home. Such a woman, who talks and talks but says nothing, who smile all the time for no reason, is a "love-killer", seriously. Here, the polygamy has its benefits. You can divorce from such a woman and still you remain with the other three wives.The problem is if the other three are like her. Then.... only God can save you. As a history lecturer this woman is a disaster. Her only purpose was to not say anything to disturb you, the Muslims. Her approach to Muhammad had to be a neutral one, but she turned it into an emotional one. He spoke of Muhammad as if he was her master, apostle, teacher. Her approach to Muhammad far away from being neutral was emotional. And such an approach to an event or a personality about whom/which you are relating is more than wrong if academic standards are to be considered. Practically she understand what the assistance wanted from her to say and she not disappointed them. She told them anything what they wanted to hear. And for this she was not shy to lie. For example, she presented Muhammad, after he started getting revelation, as a fighter for human rights and social equality, That is..... bullshit of bullshit. I challenge any person in this world to bring me some evidence that Muhammad was a fighter for human rights, social equality, and against corruption. In fact, Mecca at that time was a cosmopolite city where anyone could worship anyone and anything. The Meccans had no problems when Muhammad, peacefully, spread out his monotheist religion. They had problems with him only when he started abusing their deities and forefathers, as a hadith informs us. He was not on any campaign against slavery as he would become later a slave owner. What he wanted was as the Meccans to not only accept his monotheism but also to accept him as the supreme leader both political as religious, that means something which he would become in Medina. But the Meccans refused him both as prophet a both as political leader. Here in Medina happened an event which ,if you talk about Muhammad, you cannot get over it. It is about Satanic Verses, an event related by Muhammad's first biographer as well by the historic al-Tabari. This event is important if we want to get clues about Muhammad's personality. And still this Lesley Hazleton "forgot" about it. Why? Because this event is still shocking for Muslims and, as I've already said, she wanted to say only what the audience wanted to hear. And for this she massacred the Quran itself. She said: " Quran gave us a monstre of humanity, " and quoted sura 5 verse 32 " if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind." What! Really !! But were are the words, "Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel," words which practically start the verse? Where? Why she cut them off? Why? Muhammad self confessed: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, " I have been made victorious with terror." -- Sahih al-Bukhari 2977, (on Jihaad), Book 56, Hadith 186 How is that she didn't know about this hadith? Really, how? Is not this hadith important in asserting Muhammad's accomplishments ? Finally she answered questions. " How Muhammad died?" She didn't know what to invent - a Jewish woman poisoned Muhammad, but that couldn't be said - so that she beat around the bush for a while as in the end to say : Sunnis say that a Shia killed him, Shiits say that a Sunni killed him , but in reality he was assassinated by a someone from a terrorist organization like is ISIS today. She lied of course, but she lied to please the audience. Finally, she spoke of Aisha, but not for a moment she tried to elucidate the mystery: The age of Aisha when she was married to Muhammad. And the age of Aisha is still a controversial problem in Muhammad's biography, but a problem she was not interested in. From an academic point of view this one-woman-show was a disaster. From the audience point of view it was what they wanted to hear From a neutral point of view it was something that you forget easily From a Christian point of view it was pure Islam propaganda From an educated Muslim it was the same rhetoric they hear from their Muslim professors over and over again. From my point of view watching her " elucubrations " once again would require at least 10000 euros recompense for such a mental torture. .

It means ‘submission’.

[@imran.abbasi]

@l A yes but it doesn’t mean Peace much less literally. It’s submission and it’s just a fact.

[@MuhammadO19]

Native Arabic speaker and a Muslim here, Islam literally means "submission", that is, submission to God (believing in him and obeying his commands). the word "peace" in Arabic is Salam -- as in AL SALAM alekom (the peace be upon you) -- the two words have the same root (S L M), but in Arabic, you can derive many loosely-related words from the same root but each one's meaning is distinct and clear with no overlapping

[@abunigha293]

No it means submission to Allah

[@Alkursi_feesamaa]

@@abunigha293 the thing is submission to Allah means peace. From experience not literrally although the Arabic root is Salaam

I see a lot of people who read the Quran and a lot who didn't in the comment section fighting, but what Samina did, in addition to reading the Quran, is reading history and comparing. She beautifully displayed how reading the Quran with historical context gives you more insight and understanding of the rules and laws. My history teacher once told me to never trust one source alone, it leaves you oen to deception. Living by that has heped me a lot in life. Full respect Ma'am ..

[@worfoz]

Shahid Diwan: As a Muslim i would day " Hats off to you ", for your work about Islam by a Jewish In reality, ss a muhammedan you would say: "head off to you for your words about islam by a Jew" Because the Jews have this collection of books all proving your muhammed to be a fraud bastard, from the lineage of the unmarried slave Hajar and her bastard son Ismael. Abram expelled this bastard from his house and lineage, but in Judaism all these desert pagans will be nothing but slaves to the true sons of Abram, the lineage of Abram, Isaac and Jacob, the lineage of the true prophets of God. Jews are honest but muhammedans love to lie.

[@neluroman555]

Aidy Adnan, there is no any kind of surprise here. She was on a compagne of promoting her book, "The Story of Muhammad". All what she said was for promoting her book. When it is about a fist of dollars more, many writers practice "intellectual prostitution" and that was exactly what she was doing there, 110%.

All my due respect to you Dr. Lesely when Mohammed PBUH was on the mountain God did not talk to him directly, but through the angel Gabriel or Jibril in Arabic. Honestly after you have written and spoken and searched deeply about Islam and the biography of prophet Mohammed I invite you to declare Shahadah to believe in the supreme creator Allah Almighty The Merciful. I pray for Allah to open your heart and become a Muslim.

[@neluroman555]

She is a liar. She said everything what the public in attendance wanted as she to say. And she, yes, said what they wanted to hear. She did that on a scope, she hopped that in his way, at the end of the day, an enthusiast public would line up to buy her book. Where is the truth in this story!!! Nowhere to be found.

[@75ameerarafath]

God know the best what is good for all, may Allah bless her and open her heart deeply to understand the beauty of Islam..! The people ignorance just ignore them without wasting time to make things understand those prodigals, Some fail to understand them own life problem, what will make them understand about the Reality, May Allah bless all our Lankan and the people of good heart's,

[@neluroman555]

She is a liar. She told you only what you wanted to hear from her, and that in the hope that, at the end of the day, you will line up to buy her book. By saying what she said commited a crime against any idea of academic historical research. She is a shame for any one involved in historical research.

[@neluroman555]

You are wrong, totally. First off, Adam, clearly was not a prophet. Quote me something from he said, if you say he was a prophet. Abraham also was not a prophet. Tell me what he prophesied, if you think he was a prophet. Muhammad had precious little to say that hadn’t already been said by other prophets. But having established himself as a prophet, Muhammad had to keep the revelations coming in order to maintain his reputation as God’s final messenger. This helps to explain the constant recourse to repetition: repeated admonitions to “obey God and His Apostle,” repeated curses at those “who doubt Our revelations,” and repeated threats of hellfire for unbelievers, -all expressed in more or less the ambigue throughout the Quran. Muhammad is more than controversial, and for good reasons. If still there are people who appreciate him, there are much more many who have a very bad appreciation of his facts. Here is just one example. “I came to the absolute conviction that it is impossible…impossible…for any human being to read the biography of Mohammed and believe in it, and then emerge a psychologically and mentally healthy person.” - Syrian Psychiatrist Dr. Wafa Sultan The problem is that anyone honest and with an open mind who read the biography of Muhammad, as it result from ahadith and Sirah of Ibn Ishaq and al-Tabari, attains the same conclusion like Dr. Wafa Sultan.

I loved listening to Leslie & appreciate her tone of voice, the way how he spoke, I admired her positive discovery about the Cor'aan, the life of the prophet & everything she said about Islam. She is a wonderful speaker, researcher with a sound judgement. I thank her very much for her effort & time. But, what I dislike in this video is the heaviness of people & disrespectful manner with their long & unprecised & ambiguous questions who deep down want to convert Leslie to Islam. She succeeded by saying I am a jew, I am...etc... but this did not stop them. I am really happy & very satisfied with her talk & that's enough for me. Islam does not need anyone but guided people by God embrace it. & that's enough. Islam does not push people to embrace it. Be a good Muslim & your example will shine in front of the world. Fadia Sultan from Australia

[@mallamasiddiki334]

Deta manage, you are trying to stir hate by provoking sentiment. Why? She does not necessarily have to convert- until she feels the urge to do so from inside. The beauty is beauty- beauty is a universal value. She finds beauty in the life and teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and she is sharing her findings. That's it and that's what I appreciate.
