hi everyone and welcome this is the
apostate prophet
as you might notice if you look really
hard the only religion i criticize is
islam
i don't talk about other religions as
part of my work for example
christianity or judaism or hinduism
buddhism and all the others
as a result some even get the impression
that i belong to one of those
faiths but that is not true i am what
people call
an atheist i don't believe in any god i
don't follow any religion but as an
atheist i should criticize
all religions right no and i won't
nowadays the word atheist is so much
misused
which is one reason why i don't want to
call myself an atheist
many think that an atheist should
criticize all religion
and hate all religions all of them
equally
but criticizing all religions hating all
religions
is actually anti-theism not atheism
atheism is only the lack of belief in
the existence of god or gods
many atheists themselves become
anti-theists
and use the two terms interchangeably
and expect people like me to act like
them
and they say things like you are not a
real atheist if you don't bash
christianity mainly comes from
ex-christians or atheists in christian
circles
that focus to 95 on christianity
but say i hate all religions equally and
by expecting others to follow suit
they become what they pretend to despise
a dogmatic
group a religion no offense but that's
just
i choose to distance myself from all of
that and call myself a free thinker i
form my own opinions on things based on
reasoning and logic
i question everything i have my own
thoughts and views about the world and
us
and religions but most importantly i
want form of movement of freethinkers
i think for myself personally i don't
have any problem with religion
i don't have a problem with people
believing in god or anything
supernatural
even if i don't believe in it i can
respect that
if a muslim believes in allah he can do
that what do i care
i used to believe too at some point we
are still not at a point where we are a
hundred percent
sure about the origins of us and our
universe the future of it
the shape of it or what lies beyond it
at this point it would be arrogant of me
or anyone else to criticize and insult
people
for their beliefs and convictions i
criticize islam not because of the
belief in allah but because of the
qualities of
islam islam is very different so much
that i feel bad
calling it a religion and i certainly
don't want to call it an abrahamic
religion
abrahamic religions in my view are
judaism and christianity
islam has less in common with those
religions than it has differences
let's put some of the most obvious
differences aside
such as the origin of the quran and the
bible or the birthplaces
or the nation or the commandments
these are not our topic the main reason
why i oppose islam so strictly
is its order to fight the people and
spread the religion by the sword
but christianity and the crusade shut up
the crusades were a series of actions
taken by later christians
by the catholics under their authority
it has virtually nothing to do with cr
with christian fundaments
neither do the dark ages for example as
we call them historically
the crusades were not even what a usual
californian student girl tells you it
was
although they were not very innocent but
let's put all of that aside
even if we were historically stupid and
ignorant for a second
and assumed that the crusades were a big
massive evil a crime against humankind
a series of pretty dark and brutal
whatever even if that was the case
discrediting christianity for that
would be like discrediting islam for
isis
no wait that's actually wrong because
you wouldn't be able to trace the
crusades back to the fundaments of
christianity
but you could find most of the
disgusting stuff that isis does
in the fundamental scripture of islam
christianity
hinduism judaism buddhism jainism and
all the other religions don't order to
spread the religion by the sword
and subjugate everyone forcibly under
religious supremacy
islam does christianity and judaism say
love thy neighbor as thyself
islam tells you not to initially greet
your neighbor if he's not a muslim
hinduism and the other religions don't
even have sets of rules as to what to do
with the spread of your religion
they tell you to preserve your community
and to resort to violence only in
self-defense
some even abhor that kind of violence
while islam tells you that you will
certainly go to hell
if you flee from the battlefield
christianity says who lives by the sword
will die by the sword
while islam gives the highest rank in
heaven because you have ranks in heaven
to the one who fights and dies for allah
islam punishes apostates with death and
that is a very clear
uncontroversial ruling in islam it has
been over 1400 years
only today under western influence have
some muslims started to abandon and
oppose this
christianity has no such penalty
although the romans instated a penalty
for apostasy at some point
something unchristian judaism had
initially a death penalty
for people who abandoned judaism and try
to turn other jews away as well
this rule was abandoned 2000 years ago
when rabbinic judaism started to become
the norm of judaism
as it still is 600 years before islam
introduced this ruling
tell that to those muslim apologists who
say
judaism has that rule too some muslim
apologists
try to tell us that hinduism has such a
ruling but it's very obvious
why they want to say that and it's very
obvious that they have no idea how
hinduism works
i don't even want to go into that it's
ridiculous in islam
you can be punished with death for
blasphemy apostasy
homosexuality adultery mischief and
corruption which is
very vague insulting muhammad and other
things
in judaism there were a series of
similar punishable things in the bible
but the mishnah which is the first
religious collection of rabbinic judaism
calls a court that issues a death
sentence a murderer
and death penalties were abandoned 2 000
years ago
600 years before islam even came into
existence again
christianity has no death penalty at all
there is no
mention and early churches condemned the
death penalty
until the romans messed it up at some
point and instated unchristian death
penalties
christians reformed christianity by
taking it out of the hands of such
powers
and returning it to its fundaments where
love and forgiveness were much more
important than punishing
people if we reformed islam the outcome
would be the opposite
no other religion is a state system of
religious supremacy
except islam no other religion has a set
system
on how to rule every aspect of the state
the military
and crime except islam no other religion
gives you an ancient human as an example
and tells you to imitate every aspect of
his life
except islam which gives you a man who
became a warlord
had a dozen wives one of them six years
old had slaves including sex slaves
and insulted virtually every other group
in this world
moreover let's forget about the past and
fundamentals for a minute
no other religion causes so many
problems in the world as
islam does today no other religion keeps
their cultures
back so much a dozen countries still
punish apostasy with death
all islamic they punish blasphemy
thought with death homosexuality is
punished with death
adultery is punishable with death or
other punishments
islam is by far the world leader in
science
oh it's terrorism women are still
treated like
garbage in the islamic world and in
islamic cultures outside the islamic
world
not wearing the hijab is a legal issue
or mostly a very severe social issue
no other religion is so much concerned
and involved
in people's private lives and bedrooms
as islam is
and finally and this is very important
to the topic of this video
no other religion mentions other
religions and religious groups by their
names
and insults them threatens them makes
ever-living hostile prophecies about
them
in no other religion will you grow up
hating specific religious groups
like jews and will be shown directly a
piece of
fundamental religious scripture that
supports the idea of hating them
no other religion is this hostile
against everyone else
no other religion calls others by their
names
the worst of creation please fact check
everything i said
everything i told you but stop making
excuses stop telling me that all
religions were equally bad
that i should criticize all of them if i
criticized one of them i
am an ex-muslim a former muslim who
strictly practiced and diligently
studied his religion
for years i talk about islam i know
islam very well
i am a child of western values of human
values i see islam as a threat as a big
disturbance
and i will intellectually oppose it
wherever i can
i'm a respectful free thinker i don't
believe in god or gods and i have
very very good reasons for that beyond
morality
but i sympathize with religions i like
christianity
and i have a very deep emotional
connection to it
i find judaism culturally very
interesting a treasure
i find hinduism fascinating and buddhism
mesmerizing i love the point jainism
wants to make
and see bravery and goodness in sikhism
i like the inner peace
and taoism and confucianism i feel
sorry for the loss of zoroastrianism
but i don't like totalitarianism
supremacism
masquerading as a religion i don't like
islam
and i invite everyone even the believers
of islam
muslims to come together and understand
why
i was once a muslim and the world looked
pretty dark when i was a muslim
believe me the world is so much better
so much more peaceful
so much more positive once you are not a
muslim anymore
i don't hate anyone i don't hate muslims
i hate ideas but i don't hate people
i hate what islam does to people i hate
what
islam does to muslims and that's why i
speak out against islam
thank you and stay away from islam
you
