Why the West is wrong about Islam | Peter Oborne | The Big Picture S3EP15

[@AMA-Online]

I started to admire Peter Oborne when he resigned his job at the Telegraph on a point of principle. He found out that the Telegraph wouldn't dare to report about the wrong doings of a bank, I don't remember whether it was the Barclays or HSBC, because they used to take a large advertisement spaces from the paper.

[@charliejim11]

It was HSBC. It was because they closed the bank account of the Finsbury Park Mosque in London without warning or clear reason. And yes the paper refused to report on it

[@fawadali135]

A lot of these companies, especially the pharmaceutical industry runs ads in papers, TV and digital media not for sales of their products but as leverage on the media itself. If the platform tries to print something they don’t like, they threaten pulling their ads.

How could one be Islamophobic? Islam says I, as an atheist, should be killed. Therefore, I vehemently oppose Islam out of self preservation if nothing else. I think Muslims are following a bad ideology which has doomed them to poor living standards and a very anti-intellectual culture. Is that Islamophobia? Because they are all 100% valid criticisms, and telling me I need to respect people who want me dead, lets just say I won't be amenable to that solution.

[@chambermuses7802]

@@revpadma - No, it isn't a mystery at all. You realize we in the West are quickly becoming majority atheist, ya? We already had cultures which were completely incompatible, but now there will be an even bigger rift between us. You guys still act like its the 7th century, you practice your religion like Europeans from the Middle Ages practiced Christianity. Then we had the Enlightenment and secularization, and the divide has been growing since. You won't ever catch up until you modernize your culture, but I expect you guys to cling to it even tighter until it is completely undeniable that your religion is keeping you weak compared to everyone else. You guys will have a really hard time giving up a myth which makes Arabs front and center, even saying God told people to only read his words in Arabic, hahaha. You guys just don't have a clue, you are proud of all the wrong things, you think your stubbornness in places like Palestine is a show of strength, but to the rest of the world it perfectly encapsulates why you people will always stay underdeveloped. You are hot heads with little logic going into to your thinking. So, no, it is not a mystery why you are portrayed the way you are. It is because it is the truth. The only people who support in the West you have an ideology which is completely incompatible with yours, they just support you because of a brain dead ideology about oppression and needing to be a white savior to minorities. It is all so comical. The truth is, it is only going to get worse until it gets better, because you guys are nowhere near ready to move on from Islam or at least have a movement equivalent to the Enlightenment.

Afghanistan: Conversion from Islam is considered apostasy, punishable by death or imprisonment. 3. Pakistan: Blasphemy laws, while not specifically targeting conversion, can lead to accusations and violence against those leaving Islam. 4. Somalia: Conversion from Islam is illegal and punishable by death. 5. Yemen: Apostasy laws prescribe death penalty for leaving Islam. 6. Brunei: Sharia law, introduced in 2014, prescribes death by stoning for apostasy. 7. Sudan: Conversion from Islam is punishable by death. 8. Mauritania: Apostasy laws prescribe death penalty for leaving Islam. 9. Qatar: Conversion from Islam is illegal and punishable by imprisonment. 10. United Arab Emirates: Conversion from Islam is illegal and punishable by imprisonment. 11. Malaysia: While not strictly illegal, conversion from Islam is heavily restricted and can lead to state-sanctioned rehabilitation programs. 12. Egypt: While not illegal, conversion from Islam can lead to social ostracism, family rejection, and legal challenges. Please note that laws and regulations can change, and enforcement may vary. Additionally, social and cultural attitudes toward conversion can be just as influential as legal frameworks. This list is not exhaustive, and other countries may have similar laws or restrictions.

[@Kali4Action]

In his book titled “Islam at the Crossroads” on page 49 published in 1934, Muhammad Asad said that “many of Western civilizations historical experiences are deeply tinged by a strange animosity towards Islam. To some extent, this also is an inheritance from Europe's antiquity. The Greeks and the Romans regarded only themselves as "civilized", while everything foreign, and particularly everything living to the east of the Mediterranean, bore the label "barbarian". Since that time the Occidentals have believed that their racial superiority over the rest of mankind is a matter of fact, and the more or less pronounced contempt for non-European races and nations is one of the standing features of Western civilization. This alone, however, is not enough to explain its feeling as regards Islam. Here, and here alone, the Western attitude is not one of mere indifference, as in the case of other "foreign" religions and cultures: it is one of deep-rooted and almost fanatical aversion, and it is not only intellectual but bears an intensely emotional tint. The West may not accept the doctrines of Buddhist or Hindu philosophy, but it will always preserve a balanced, reflective attitude of mind with regard to those systems. As soon, however, as it turns towards Islam, the balance is disturbed and an emotional bias creeps in” (Islam at the Crossroads, p. 49).

[@LadyBug1967]

The reason for that is quite simple: follow the money. IT is the Middle East, the Muslim countries, that have the oil which creates the energy that the West needs, wants and craves and without that their people would turn against them & as elected leaders, they want to keep the masses happy so they can continue in their cushy job of oppressing everybody.

[@starrbowie8649]

The Muslims have defeated European military forces more than once, they have raw materials like oil coveted by Christian imperialism, they command a crucial position in terms of geopolitical strategy in their access to Africa, Central and southern Europe, Russian lands, the Indian ocean, the European countries deep down know how reliant their scientific, mathematical, cultural, philosophical, etc., development has been on West Asian achievements, and Islam has successfully competed with Christianity as a faith, outstripping the latter's growth in recent times.

I should have added to the reasons for the tenacity of the bigotry against Islam, Iranians, and Arabs that the anti-semitism against Jews that has either hibernated, percolated, or erupted over centuries in Europe (and hence in its former colonies like the US) has striking parallels with stereotypes of Muslims, Arabs, and Iranians, so that when western imperialist powers want to arouse public support for incursions, financial/economic pressure like sanctions, or other coercive measures to gain control of West Asian lands, they can easily press buttons already in place. Ironically and in stupefying oblivion as to the danger for Jews of keeping such stereotypes alive in the west, since the foundation of Israel Zionists of all faiths (Zionism is a political belief in the right of Jews to form and maintain a nation in the historic Palestinian homeland) have sought to publicize these repellent stereotypes: 1) the rich, ruthless Arab sheik parallels the rich, greedy Jewish banker or merchant, 2) the ubiquitous cartoon depiction of the fat, super-hairy, beady-eyed, giant-nosed Arab or Iranian closely echoes Nazi caricatures of Jews, 3) the Arab oil cartel, and, to some extent, the alleged terrorist networks bent on world domination parallel the cabal referenced in the Protocols of Zion, 4) the oppression of women and access to harems parallel alleged Jewish lust for gentile women, the younger and more virginal the better, 5) aggression towards infidels based in an exclusionary belief in Allah as the one true god parallels Jewish belief in their chosenness for rule and influence by the one true god, and 6) the disposition to cruelty and general savagery parallels the blood libel whereby Jews ceremonially drink the blood of gentile babies.

[@pantherthunder7916]

@catsaresocute650 All those things you mentioned happened or continue to happen in ALL societies for one reason or another. You would find that it's culture before anything else (especially if they are conservative). I don't know if you meant you wish to see those topics discussed in general or with the view of the religion in mind. I can only comment on the religious perspective. These are all things Europe and Christianity had gone through until a few decades ago. It was only until the later 1900s that Europeans women were allowed to go to university (or even go to war). Muslim women had been going to universities well over a thousand years before European women were able to do so-mostly of Christian backgrounds. The first institutionalised universities and hospital were founded by Muslims in Muslim countries. To this day Muslim women go to universities if they want to - anyone preventing them would be doing so from their own standpoint whether it may be cultural or personal as there is nothing in the faith that generally prevents them from doing so. Remember how European women used to dress in say the 1950s compared to now? It would be obscene if the women then dressed like many of those now (i.e. you can't force change to norms of societies). As far as I know from research, the most sexual violence cases reported by region or continent was Europe and North America, especially East Europe. And this was both during and after their religious periods, which would be Christian? However, I'm not going to saying it is because I'm not going to overgeneralise entire populations. Other larger regions/continents have less reports, maybe because they aren't as secular and are grounded in their principles or faith that don't allow the escalation of domestic violence. Reasons aren't as clear. LGBTQ+ rights are still contested amongst many practising Christians, Jews, etc. to this day and is even mentioned to go against their Scriptures - so this cannot be pinned on faith/another faith for properly practising what they preach. I doubt Jesus would just change the message to suit the modern society. It's only as the western countries became more secular and less religious, that they started opening up to these ideas and rights which is mostly the past 15 years really, especially after Obama. Critics of religions exist in Muslim countries. However, criticising any faith will receive backlash from adherents of thar faith regardless. There is a difference in criticism, hatred/defamation and outright blasphemy. Some countries treat blasphemy harsher. In India, Hindus lynch the religious minorities (mostly Muslims) to this day and the government don't care. The same happened in Burma/Myanmar. Remember the Rohingya or the Uighurs in China? In America, they used to treat people of other backgrounds as subhuman and often kill them (outside of slavery) - those sentiments still last to many supremacists to this day. Hitler, in his book Mein Kampf states he is a Christian - and what did he do? Because of that many Germans have a similar ideology. In France, they are basically trying to remove Muslims and stop them from practising their religion. The same in China and even Korea. There is no white supremacy equivalent in the Middle East, only national pride or a supremacist view of that standpoint but not regionally or racially Many eastern countries of non-Abrahamic faith, whether religious or secular, do not accept LGBTQ+. They may go as far as the G part but nothing more, the rest is generally banned in most Asian countries. Why? Because they are accustomed to their traditions where this is not the normality. Even the G relationships have to be done discreetly in a lot of cases - whilst it may be becomimg accepted to see, it's not accepted fully in the scale of reality (i.e. interviews and polls in those countries show many parents don't want their children to be in such groups AND that's not just the LGBT community but religious and other communities which are not practised as the norms there). Gay people have existed in communities for many centuries but everything else the LGBTQ+ community represents, not really. Majority conservative Christians and Jews don't agree with LGBTQ+ rights. Because it goes against their faith. Likewise with Islam, there won't really be much traction. It's more of a you can do what you want with your children but don't go pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda to the Middle East-practically the most conservative countries in the world by culture irrespective of religions (you can see many Christians of the region take the same stance). In other words, the discussion wouldn't have gotten very far because there are counter examples, whereas the topic of the video is long-rooted in the history of Europe from the middle ages to this day.

I am unpersuaded by Peter Oborne on Islam. It is a historical fact that Islamic rule spread rapidly by violent conquest. Arabia, Syria, Palestine, North Africa, Spain, parts of France, Sicily, Persia, and so on, were all conquered by the Caliphs. The Muslims were constantly pressing in on the Byzantines, Italian States, and so on. There is a sense in which what now call Europe was invented by the dialectic with the Muslims. Classical Islamic law permits the violent conquest of non-Muslim territories for the purpose of spreading Islamic rule. But it has to be done under the leadership of a Caliph. Perhaps the perception of Islam as violent comes from that?

The centuries of Muslim rule in Spain pretty much saved what became a critical basis for subsequent development of European culture and science. People of all faiths thrived in Moorish Spain. Greek scientific/philosophic/mathematical acquisitions did not pass. directly into Europe but from the Greek language to Arabic to Latin with scholars, usually monks, collaborating on translations in Spain and disseminating in the countries to the north. This is not to leave out the many contributions that Arabs and Persians made or kept alive either. before Islam developed or later.

[@bayreuth79]

@@Umme-45 What did I say that was incorrect? I can quote from an article written by Abdal Hakim Murad (Timothy J. Winter) on classical Islamic law on warfare. You might have heard of Abdal Hakim Murad? He is a devout Sunni Muslim who studied at Al-Azhar and is now a professor of Islamic studies at Cambridge University. He writes in the article that classical Islamic law allows the conquering of non-Muslim lands for the purposes of expanding Islamic rule. And, no, I am not anti-Muslim. I actually studied Islam in Istanbul and in universities in the UK. The _fact_ is that Sunni Islam does indeed permit offensive warfare to spread Islamic rule. How do you explain that Islam conquered Arabia, then Syria, Persia, much of Byzantium, North Africa, Spain and south France, etc? All of that was achieved by the Caliphs, including the Rashidun. What's not correct?

[@bayreuth79]

I was very much on board with the conversation, until it veered into the usual righteous cliches about immigration - i.e. that any opposition to the policies that have created an explosion of migration into Europe in recent years is based purely on fear and bigotry, especially towards Islam, and that these challenges eminate entirely from the far right. The more this attitude persists, the more the very real problems of unchecked immigration and forced multiculturalism on European societies continue to grow.

I don’t disagree with some of the points in this interview. But they are largely irrelevant in view of the unchallenged grounding of this interview in the notion that Islam is a passive victim that does no harm and brings naught but good. And everything that doesn’t do that isn’t, somehow, Islam. If only Christianity were afforded such editorial privileges. Islam has conveyed wonders to the world, at every level. But horror too. And right now, Islam has an extremism problem, with no way to cleanly reject them theologically. This is not a passive concern. It’s one with which Islamic scholars and others are struggling. Simply put: the West colonized a lot. Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu and more. But when was the last time a radicalized Hindu flew a plane into a building or detonated a backpack fitted with nails in an arena? Buddhist? None. Islam exploded out of the Arabian Peninsula in the 7th Century violently and imperially. That is in its bones. It remains, lurking in the dark Hadiths and Quranic verses that are an indisputable part of Islamic from its earliest days. Other religions have dealt with these types of challenges. Islam has not yet settled the question. And simply blaming the West for the problems is silly and thin sauce.

Go ask the People of Kashmir about the oeacful Hindus or the Mynaman about the peacful Buddhist, or how about the KKK?

And muslims simply played by the rules of the world, or are you saying that the Roman empire was peaceful or that the persians were peaceful? Or that would have accepted the rise of a new empire? Muslims didn't conquer Persia or the Byzantine empire if they were not a constant threat, besides that, what actually happened when these empires and regions were conquered? Go read history books about the Islamic empire, the islamic warfare rules, Arnold Toynbee books would be a great help. Also when did a muslim run into a stadium with a bomb full of nails? More exaggeration and more atrocity propaganda, and even if it did happen that's one person what about the other 2 billion others living peacefully?
