Richard McKinney tells Jon Bernthal about the moment his perspective on humanity changed

[@BenAhmed67]

Even some of the Muslims forget the message in Surah Al-Kafiroon...Allah bless you Mac..

[@biased6463]

This verse was received by the prophet, peace be upon him, after 10 years of trying to give the message to his folks. And a lot of these folks were his close family members, friends etc.. So the verse ends with: "to you your way, and to me mine" (rough translation of a meaning of it). But for the people reading this that are Muslim, remember, this was after 10 years of trying. So keep giving dawah (conveying the message), until the point you are absolutely sure you have done what you could for a person or a group.

[@fawardrazeek7169]

Rogan will start interviewing muslims soon after this. Give it a few months. Mark my words bro. ;)

[@EfenTyson]

Joe Rogan had Dave Chappel on his podcast, Mike Tyson and other muslims. This story was shared on Rogans podcast & instantly got 3x more people who watched this because of his podcast. Its how I heard about this story, from Rogans podcast. Joe Rogan does podcasts w people he wants & its never due to religious believes. He had "the punisher" on his podcast due to liking his movies and life experiences. If anybody on his podcast was anti islam, it was not the reason they were invited nor did he know that. Joe is not very religious but does belueve in being a good person & is against all form of hate and judgement or crime. Kind of the way you judge him based on nothing he did but maybe some believes of guests that were on his shlw for a completely different reason. One thing happened on his podcast, in regards to islam, was the journalists who were killed for making cartoon jokes about Prophet mohammed. To Joe, as well as any real muslim, commiting murder because someome joked about prophet mohammed, is a horrific sin. Joe did not say how this was from few extreme terrorists and by assumption few ignorant hating judgemental people believed that he blamed all muslims. Exactly what you are doing now and the very opposite that islam teaches. People make such assumptions all the time about most things they believe in. So I hope you realize that you are being hateful & judgemental and that the exact opposite is expected from muslims. But we all make mistakes and keep learning so insallah you will do so and become more understading and open minded while not judging and always looking for as much information as possible before you even think of creating a negative opinion and even more careful before you spread and share negativity in any way about anyone.
