The audience laughed when he talked about the skin telling the truth even though the person wants to hide it. But it is not so funny when you consider a medical exam where your body tells the truth about you smoking or eating too much suger, even when you want to hide it from your physician.

Great lecture Gary. There are a few parts that need further clarifications such as the misogyny, but overall you did a great job in trying the educate these people with the facts that: 1) There are bad people in every belief. 2) Not everyone who claims to be a Muslim truly understand the teaching of the Quran 3) If you want the learn about the true teaching of Islam, read the Quran. 4) Do not think that the acts of a person who claims to be a Muslim is the true teaching of Islam (refer point 1) 5) Trying to learn about Islam by just observing how a person who claims to be a Muslim behaves is a bad idea (again, refer point 1) 5) The laws of Saudi Arabia are the laws of Saudi Arabia, and not necessarily the laws of Islam. God bless. Have a nice day.

*TWO CORRECTIONS:* 1) Unlike the Bible, there is only one version of the Quran... again, many translations, but only one version. 2) Saddam Hussein was NOT a Sunni Muslim, he was a secular leader/dictator... again, he (Saddam) was not governing by the Quran or Sunnism.

Kenneth White and this is the problem, u can’t read transactions and assume that you have understood the Quran. Mattafact , let me say one thing people might never heard b4 , Quran is a miracle of God and a Miracle cannot be translated, only one could do is try its best to explain and with that always says Allah knows best and ask for guidance from him so he/she could penetrate the meaning. In order for that u need faith and devotion

Prophet Muhammad, God’s peace and blessings be upon him, is described in the Quran as a Mercy to all of the worlds. He came to establish peace, justice, law, and order. As the table above notes, ISIS is diametrically opposed to everything he taught and expected his followers to adhere to. ISIS does not represent Islam or Muslims

It is relieving that a great writer is unveiling the truth about the Holly Quran. However, Mr. Gary Wills must search further to find out the real wisdom beyond some of those "flaws" that he said exists in the Quran. For example, the reason that God said two women are equivalent to one man as witness in court of law is because women, as mothers, are compassionate in nature and may refrain from testifying against someone, therefore, two women should testify for the purpose of justice.

I'm a Muslim, and sometimes I tend to think that, unlike many common beliefs specially by the non-Muslims, Islam has given woman somewhat more favor over men. Because, in a nutshell, men bear almost all the responsibilities for their families and even relatives. But, in the end, I have complete faith that Allah is true and honest and perfect. He has to be, logically. We the creatures have different views only because we're not perfect.

The quran is quite advanced in its views on life and how societies function and the overall theme is peace and harmony. But it is not naive about it and says you should be always prepared to repell the agressor by building up enough force to make the agressor think twice about it and if nececcary hit him hard enough to stop him. Thats how all civilised nations handle the use of force

When you do seek the knowledge, you find there isn't agreement in Islam either as to the meaning of Islam. You have Shia and Sunnis, Ahmadiyas, etc. Among the Sunnis you have different schools of thought(madhab) which are different interpretations or understanding of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. This leads me to believe that Allah is the author of confusion.(I actually don't think he exists except in the minds of people).

Before anything, I should admire Mr Wills for his approach to actually go and study the Quran rather than being content with the hearsay. Regarding slavery, I must add, however, that unlike our contemporary tendency to look for facile and ready-made solutions to complicated problems, Quran abolishes slavery in practice through gradual acculturation of its audience. This was done partly, as Mr. Wills rightly mentioned, via extolling the release of former slaves and urging those who are not still ready to free their slaves to act kindly toward them and avoid any sort of violence in relation to them. This Quranic preference of gradual change is also the case concerning the status of women. Back then at the time of the Prophet Muhammad, women were socially extremely downgraded to the extent that many abhorred to have a girl and would rather bury her alive. General instructions of the Quran must be contextualized, otherwise we will encounter a "disjointed text", to quote Mr. Wills. The conditions upon which marrying more than one women depend are such that polygamy is effectively, and not by force, minimized. Take the proviso that the man in question must establish economic and emotional equality between the wives. The question is who can do it? Hardly anyone. Secondly, back then, due to events such as tribal fights, there was a general female majority in the society, some of whom were widows who had lost their husband and had no breadwinner - it wasn't like today when a woman may go and find a job.... Consequently, a better option would be to marry her and thus support her. In fact, there are some Islamic scholars like Ahmad Moftizadeh who do not regard it legitimate to have more than one wife simultaneously. He restricts this to a time when the situation resembles that of the prophet's era, in addition to the issue of equality which I stated above. There are other points about this lecture but I'm afraid it may become too long

Mr, Garay Wills, Hi. I am a Muslim. I appreciate you trying to explain Qur'an. You did your best but a lot of very important things are missing which can cause a big confusion and give wrong understandings. Just one thing out of many. The Holy Quran was compiled as it is now in the life of our beloved prophet as instructed by God. It was completely memorized by hundreds of his companions. It was being recited in the 5 times daily prayers. Everyone knows that Muslims arrange their children to memorize the Holy Quran. It was compiled in one place immediately after prophet's death. It was compiled as a book in the period of third caliph "Usman" So please watchers and listeners make a note of it. I will invite all of you to visit a Mosque. Talk to a Muslim Imam or responsible he will give you absolute correct information. Thanks. May Allah "swt" grant all of us the correct understandings of the Quran and Islam. Aameen

I have developed such a great reverence for dr Will, although I find him such a good scholar, with some wrong conceptions about Islam, who can help humanity a lot , as he is such humanitarian scholar who has tackled certain controversial questions so beautifully.

Actually there is no flaw in the Quran, except when people misunderstood the concept of whats in the Quran.

God bless you sir for trying and guide you to the Truth. The Glorious Qur'an is the Revealed Word of Allah. Who can judge it and seek to challenge it? None can dispute it. It is the Truth from the Lord of all the worlds and the Truth will prevail by Divine Promise.

So when you recite the Qur'an, [first] seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the expelled [from His mercy].

The heaven description is not to be taken literally but rather as the highest plesure You can picture and above. Every human has his Imagination of what that would be according to his Reality

I have a great respect for Gary Wills. His view is mainly accurate according to the little knowledge that i posses.The point that after life is spiritual and there is no physical pleasure, is incorrect. According to Islam, Allah created all the souls before Adam was created, then,each soul is joined with the body, in the mothers' womb in the 120th day of the fetus, then soul parts away when person dies. In other words , person dies when soul leaves from the body. The soul rejoins the body in the grave or where ever the person dies. This state is called the living of the barrier( the living of barzakh) . The last stage is the resurrection stage in which the body is transformed and reunited with the soul for accountability and judgement. People, will then be led into two camps: Heaven or Hell. The group that goes to Heaven will be rejoined with their righteous family members, children, spouses etc .Spouses will sexual intimacy, the same way we do today except it will be much more pleasurable, more intense and more powerful then what we have in this world today. The people of the Hell fire will have no pleasure at all. They will have torment after torment and they will never die after their first death, even though, they request for it , to end their suffering.

It is true, modern Islam is very far from Quran. It follows hearsay and man made stories written few centuries after Quran was given. A lot of Muslims are following those fairy tales instead of Quran.

Correction in 20:24 . the hoopoe didn't speak to the Queen. Solomon wrote a letter. Chapter 27, verses 27-28: . 27. He (Solomon) said, “We will see, whether you have spoken the truth, or whether you are a liar. 28. Go with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them; then withdraw from them, and see how they respond.”

Life after death according to the Quran is physical and not spiritual as Gary had said. But, he contradicted himself by saying drinking wine is allowed.

He is mixing up and misrepresenting some things ... Can't say it is intentional, cause he sounds sincere, but would recommend to people that have interests in specific topics, to look for answers somewhere else. Nouman Ali Khan channel comes to mind.
