Whenever I hear an imam talk it’s very obvious he’s talking to a room full of men that already believe everything he’s saying, or want to believe it because it benefits them

[@joerdim]

Or pretend to believe the stuff because they see the benefit for them.

[@gdup1728]

it so simple but i never thought of that. I’ve been in those echo chambers of muslim men where the imaam made a great show of seeking the truth thru ‘rationality’ and ‘serious question’, but the sermons were little more that just singing to a choir who already accepted the premise - allah is god, mohamed is his final prophet, the Quran is the literal word of god and we submit to this premise. It was little different when i was younger tho, around 10-13 years old. To a slightly larger degree, some imams at the madrasahs half-heartedly started with the assumption that the kids were ‘just yet to be guided to the truth’ and made a slightly more genuine attempt to proselytise.

Da’wa (A) : call, the invitation; propaganda. II 168a; pretension. IX 432a; and Da’WET In the Quran, is the call to the dead to rise from the tomb on the day of Judgement. II 168a In the religious sense, is the invitation addressed to men by God and the prophets, to believe in the true religion, Islam. The concept that the religion of all the Prophets, is Islam and that each prophets has his own, was developed by the Ismailis. II 168a In its Politico-religious sense, the denotes the invitation to adopt the cause of some individual or family claiming the right to imamate over the Muslims, thus the Abbasid which was, Strictly speaking, Propaganda for a member of the Prophet’s family, and Ismaili propaganda for the IMAM, who alone could give mankind good guidance.

[@HanadGaney]

I started to have doubts about Islam and so far not a single Muslim could answer my questions :( EDIT: Because KZbin won't let me post long replies, I need to share my responses here as an edit. I thank Muslims for attempting to answer my questions, but I'm still not satisfied with their answers, and here's why. **On why infinite punishment?** Muslim answer: Because Allah states in the Quran that people would have disbelieved for eternity even if given the chance, and that's why He punishes them for eternity based on His foreknowledge. This remains unjust because people are punished not for actions they have committed, but solely on Allah's foreknowledge. It's akin to Allah creating people He knows will disbelieve and putting them in Hell immediately. Muslims agree this is unjust because people would argue they weren't given the chance to prove themselves. Therefore, punishing disbelievers for eternity based on Allah's knowledge that they would disbelieve eternally, even if given an endless opportunity, is equally unjust since people are not actually given an eternal chance to prove themselves. Moreover, justifying eternal punishment on the grounds that Allah knows disbelievers will disbelieve forever is illogical, as it's impossible for a person to experience two eternities. In response to this question, another Muslim pointed out that paradise applies as well, asking why I don't question people entering paradise for eternity when they have only worked for a finite time. I must agree with this point. If God hadn't created us in the first place, we would never have needed or deserved anything, neither Hell nor Paradise. **On why does Allah create people He knows will forever burn in Hell?** Muslim answer: Because Allah grants people free will, and people choose to go to Hell. However, this response misses the essence of my question. Free will comes after Allah creates people, and I'm asking why Allah creates people He knows will misuse their free will and consequently burn in Hell for eternity. Please don't answer with what happens after people are created. I need an explanation for why Allah creates such individuals in the first place.

Your channel made me realize that atheism, is far from not being devisive. it is uniting. in islam, judaism and christianity there are so many groups highly separated and some times at war. as a fellow atheist i feel much more commoradery with an ex muslim than with a practicing religous jew.

Apostate Aladdin hates Allah's tyrannical character, what makes you think he'll react positively towards the Christian God? Which is mostly just the same as Allah in the Old Testament? He punishes those who rejects his existence both in this world & in the afterlife, And sending his supposed son, the messiah, Jesus Christ very late on Human History? What happened to those before Jesus has arrived on Earth? Have they all immediately sent to hell because they never got to see & believe Jesus is God or are they currently in purgatory, just waiting for the judgement? And if it's true that Jesus is God in Human Form, did Mary, his earthly mother, worshipped him? Was the very God from the old testament who punishes people both in life & the hereafter, because they don't believe in his existence, the same as Christ whose portrayed by the Bible's New Testament as this supposedly merciful, kind & faithful prophet? There are many questions in Christianity yet most answers are logically unsatisfactory.

@@darkshadow07186 Still applying Islamic dogma into understanding Christian doctrine as opposed to being objective. First, Christianity is the only major religion with historical credence (Islam has the worst among other major religions--we still can't even certify that Muhammed was a real person). Second, Mary he's mother not worshipping him is another islamic trope which is really funny because Mary did witness his divinity, maybe if you read the bible you'd see that she was the first witness to his resurrection. And yes, it was the very same God of the Old testament who actually promise to bring a new covenant or the new testament via Jesus 3,000 years before Jesus was even born. *facepalm Again dude, if you want to criticise christianity then maybe do some digging (like reading the bible) and understand the foundational concept of Christianity and its theological appeal and stop applying the same lenses of Islamic criticism against it.

Christians in chat lmfao. Glad you addressed them because Yasir Qadhi's rhetoric is almost word-for-word Christian apologetics rhetoric. Even if the specifics change, the general current of anti-thinking (in places where it's inconvenient) remains the same. That said, answering your question near the end, I honestly clicked on this to gain a better understanding of why Muslims might leave Islam and came away with Qadhi's nonsense apologetics. Like I suppose I could infer one reason Muslims would leave Islam specifically because of this high-control, anti-intellectual environment, but Qadhi never actually bothers to answer the question himself. Of course, you guys are best able to answer because you yourself have left Islam for reasons that you (thankfully) give in the video. I guess it shows the similarity between Christians and Muslims with regards to apostates, because most of the effort goes into addressing the already-believing flock and ridiculing and misrepresenting apostates, rather than actually addressing apostates' concerns. Though I suppose that's the most pragmatic move, because realistically there _is no_ way to address apostates' concerns without outright commanding them to throw away reason and to obey and submit.

They have taken their religion the most seriously , that after exploring the depths , and especially with regard to the Qur'an being The Source Creator's Word or speech , is quite frivolous as it's basically old Jewish folk tale , just twisted to suite a particular narrative... it's very childish tbh...

[@frasherfishta1362]

Different from 'Seasoned Reasoning,' Common Reason is basically defined as exercising obvious critical thinking since Yasir Qadhi would not jump into a pond full of gators but he is a shrewd 'dawa'-gandist (propagandist), selectively asking some people to not use reasoning since he needs them to mindlessly submit to his perceived deity or him as alter ego, but thereafter once the fool has entered his cage under the assumption that it is a castle, some reasoning is allowed within the confines of the conquering castle. Instead of him advancing religion to strive only for peace he is employing a muddy philosophy to counter the quest for freedom from religion and perpetual membership dues, but nothing wrong with being spiritual and appreciating creation or nature as there's poetry and beauty even in science (not scientism), perhaps the only revelation of a Divine Mind as God doesn't write books, assuming one appreciates intelligence regardless of name or region, complexity over chaos and fruitless fear.

[@JaunPark2222]

I think people leave their religions because there is so much evidence that points to it being man made. You can walk away from ancient beliefs and still believe there was a creator.

Tell me you're in a cult without saying you're in a cult! This lecture is such an embarrassment to Islam. It's a relief that not all Muslims are this ridiculous. Since you addressed the question to non-Muslims and non-Ex-Muslims this made me see this mans version of Islam as a dangerous cult and if I thought all Muslims thought like this I would develop a prejudice against them. This is something that can only be persuasive to Muslims, and very indoctrinated Muslims at that.

Islam does not "outlaw" adoption. It distinguishes between mahram sons and adopted sons. Adoption without breast-feeding is a different category of relationship between the adopted family and the adoptee. The adoptee can not adopt the lineage of the family nor is she/he entitled to the same inheritance rights, though she/he can be provided for as a beneficary of a will.

[@EarnestApostate]

The moral of the story: Think until you agree with me about Islam, then immediately STOP thinking. It seems similar to Christianity in this. I agree with others here who say, "the trinity is supra-rational". Honestly, the religious will have you question yourself to Solophsism, and assert that their religion is the only thing you can trust. Once you throw away everything that you could use to try to know anything, what is left?

The last part about Islam is so relatable as an agnostic person who's trying to explore different religions. When I was trying to find ideas about Christianity, I could at least find a lot of good points made by Jesus that even a non Christian is likely to accept as true, such as love your neighbor. But when I looked up Islam, all I could find was Islam is true because Islam is true, and if you don't believe it you will go to hell. If I read the Quran and did not immediately accept it as the truth, I was listening to the devil, and that's completely on me. They are like the old atheist content always filled with anger. To be honest, even to these days I am still not sure what kind of central point Islam is trying to make.

To be a convinced Muslim you essentially have to go through a series of beliefs - (1) That Judaism is true but they went off the rails at one point(2) That Christianity is true but they also went off the rails at one point (3)That Muhammad came along at one stage in history with his revelations that set the record straight vis a vis the Jews and Christians.
