Brother Rachid was the reason I left Islam 5 years ago. Thanks for saving my life.
I have great respect for Muslims daring to leave their religion.
Lots of courage is required for that.
Ali Mansour are you a Christian now?
No, I am a Human now.
I love you!
Ali Mansour I will dare to dream of a day where names like yours are not always followed by an insult or an absurdity in the comment section (i'm sue you seen that too). Brother Rachid is indeed doing great work in waking up some consciences without necessarily using an aggressive evangelistic propaganda. Have a great life mate!
Gad...as a Christian myself, I am incredibly grateful that you have other Christians on your channel. I know you identify as an Athiest, but I sense that you are able to still identify that there are significant commonalities between us in the areas of free speech and tolerance etc...your generosity of spirit is a breath of fresh air...we all benefit from the same freedoms....
My friend jad it's a Jews person not athiest.
Could not agree more I am a very strong atheist and will often on here criticize the hypocritical nature of all religions primarily the still 'medaeval' desire to believe in a deity, force, intelligence etc etc which is different for each faith and that one day humand will discard the need for it and for so the need to fight over it, which has been go on for so low. But that being so, if one was to tally out of all the religions most atheists would agree the most horrendous and dangerous is Islam and that at it's heart is hatred, arrogance it is the only true religion and the brainwashing of children from very young to believe and carried acts of violence and death to thos who do not wish to believe in the prophet. At the top I would Buddhism which is a non-theistic religion and more a philosophy and a moral discipline but it to has it's negatives: belief in karma, ignoring of repressive political/military regimes running a country, beliefs in physical miracles, power of sacred objects, relics, rituals and chantings overshadow acts of wisdom and compassion. Even though the Christian church has done many bad things ovee the centuries and still continues to do so, the basic premise of Jesus (not the Cathoplic one) that love is at the heart of their religion is one I can gladly live with it in this world. To see below so many Muslims who have been able to break away (a very brave and hard thing to do) feels me much hope as what I see every day regarding Muslims makes me and many other people very scared and a strong desire to see their religion fail and be consigned to history.
God bless you Brother Rachid. I'm also an ex muslim Christian.
God bless you and protect you
@@abdurrahmanmohammad6951
That's a fully personal choice. You may believe it doesn't offer you anything. I'm not a Christina because of any benefits. Christianity is a faith that is free. Unlike to islam that doesn't even give you any choice.
@@abdullahhussein3775
I am not talking about worldly benefits. I am referring to spiritual aspects and intellectual/theological soundness. Christianity lacks that. So if your reason for conversion to Christianity is due to the "freedoms" and "morality" it offers, whilst ignoring the theological complications that is has, then you are delving into an area of blind faith... If this is your case, why not convert to religions like Sikhism or Jainism? Especially considering that these two religions are way more open and tolerant than the entire Abrahamic tradition (this includes Christianity). Anyways, regarding your claim: "Christianity is a faith that is free"
Is it?
"But of the cities of these people, which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth:
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as the Lord thy God hath commanded thee:
That they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods; so should ye sin against the Lord your God." (Deuteronomy 20:16-18)
Where is the freedom here? Where is the right to life here? Where is the freedom of religion here? (Especially considering that God commanded this because these people were engaged in idolatry and they would have taught the children of Israel idolatry). And why did God (who is also Jesus as per the trinitarian understanding of God) command the killing of innocents?
This is a re-occurring theme present throughout the Christian Bible:
"Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves." (Numbers 31:17-18)
"And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the Lord: they shall come into the treasury of the Lord.
So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword."(Joshua 6:17-21)
I could go on, why exactly does God command the killings of women and children? Where is the freedom? Where is the justice?
And, the Bible calls the commandments of God as:
"The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward." (Psalms 19:7-11)
And, the practice of these laws and commandments of God causes the nation to be superior and set above all others and closer to God...
"The Lord will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. And call the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be afraid of you." (Deuteronomy 28:9-10)
But then again, you may retort and say that this is from the Old Testament and it isn't binding upon you... But, that still doesn't exempt you from the moral dilemma present in the OT as God Himself inspired and commanded various statutes present in the OT. The only moral reason that you may offer as to why you don't follow the OT is because the Christian creed demands that you don't have to follow it, a mere "exemption" by instruction, not because the commands of the OT are outright evil or inherently immoral.
Even then, the practice of the OT is actually condoned in the NT!
St Paul (whom many Christian apologists quote day and night in order to justify the nullification of the Old Testament) himself cites the Old Law as authority for proofs and justifications:
"Do I say these things as a mere man? Or does not the law say the same also?
For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.”[found in Deuteronomy 25:4] Is it oxen God is concerned about?
Or does He say it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written, that he who plows should plow in hope, and he who threshes in hope should be partaker of his hope
"(1 Corinthians 9:8-10)
Other Apostles also took the OT as authority to justify teachings, instructions, and commands as well.
As St Paul himself says in 2 Timothy 3:16-17
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
And, historically, the Church father and Christians (when they'd gained power) did use the Old Testament as justification for the usage of violence and force against wicked men, unbelievers of the Christian faith, and heretics. Many of those who engaged in massacres' and violence against unbelievers and heretics of the Christian faith are crowned as Saints in the Orthodox Church, like Justinian I and Theodosius I.
Considering the information above, can Christianity be deemed a faith that stands for freedom? That shuns away violence and abuses? If the above information still isn't convincing... then you really are arrogant and disgusted by reason. But, I will give you an exemption... I will put things in your favour now. Let's just imagine that all the above information is non-existent, is Christianity (now) the faith that stands for peace and freedom?
Nope, the answer is still no. Let us rely on the New Testament, was did Christ always lean on peace and shun the usage of force? Not exactly
"And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." (Luke 14:23)
This passage was used to justify the usage of force and violence against unbelievers, heretics, and apostates of the Christian religion (when the Christians were in power) by the Church fathers (including the likes of St Augustine)
This is also the actual practice of Christ himself, who is a role model to Christians and the exemplar to follow, when he will come with power and in a position of authority, slaying the unbelievers and wicked. Some passages include:
"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me."(Luke 19:27)
"Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet"(1 Corinthians 15:24-25)
"In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:" (2 Thessalonians 1:8)
The second coming of Christ, was also used as justification for violence by the Church fathers (including St Augustine). So, with this in mind, is Christianity really a religion of freedom and peace?
Anyways, regarding Islam, I'd like to quote Al Hafiz Ibn Salah (1181-1245), a classical authority on Islam, who summarized the principle of Islam and the treatment of non-Muslims as:
"Verily the basic principle is to allow the non-believers to live and
accept them. Allah did not intend to destroy the creation! Nor did
he merely create them so that they could be killed! Verily it is only
permitted to fight them to repel any harm from them. Nor should
it be considered as a punishment for them, for this world is not the
abode of punishment!"(Ibn al-Salah, fatawa ibn salah, Manuscript 337, Dar ul-Kutub, Damascus, Syria, p. 223.)
So with that in mind, your claim that Islam doesn't offer freedom (at all) is false, just like your claim that Christianity offers freedom.
@@abdurrahmanmohammad6951
Your comments is really pathetic. Copying and pasting things from Internet. The verses from the Bible you copied in and saying that this backs up your point is just a proof that you haven't understand many aspects of the Christian faith.
I also could copy and paste many contra arguments but I'm not going to waste space and time.
What you say Christianity is lacking, I'm of the completely opossite opinion. The Christian faith is fulfilling me and my life.
I studied and still study different faiths and Christianity is the one I chose. It makes to me the most sense, including historically.
Talking about the theology - it is a faith. Either you belive in certain aspects or not. People have different reasons why they belive.
I belive as humans we are not able to discover everything with our minds. Again the Christian theology does make to me sense the most in comparison tobother faiths. That is my personal conclusion and my opinion.
Talking about islam, I could mention countless sahih hadiths as well as islamic scholars of today that do spread anything else than peace and freedom.
If you used to be a muslim, you should know that according to islamic theology (sharia law), a muslim cannot leave islam. If he or she does, the person needs to be killed. This is practises today! In all muslim countries that established sharia as the local law, this death punishment is carries out by the islamic governments. So what freedom are you talking about as according to islam we as ex-muslims should not exist.
And talking about the approach of islam to other faiths, you should know the theology as well. The quran is clear that kuffar are to be killed, so are Jews or Christians too. As an exception from that they can be alive if they accept islam as a higher religion and pay jizyah. There are countless sahih hadiths as well as statements of prominent scholars in islam who define what it is. That is nothing to do with accepting members of other faiths but with segregation and actual intolerance. Hadiths are clear that this is to be a third class citizens.
@@abdullahhussein3775 "Your comments is really pathetic. Copying and pasting things from Internet."
How exactly is my comments so pathetic? Copy pasting? Hah, I've read the Bible twice, and I am currently reading it with multiple different commentaries, to further my understanding.
"The verses from the Bible you copied in and saying that this backs up your point is just a proof that you haven't understand many aspects of the Christian faith."
Wdym? I've provided references and have correctly described Christian theology. If anything you don't know anything about Christianity and the Christian perception of the Bible. Shall I bring St Thomas of Aquinas? Better yet, shall I quote St Augustine further? Please do tell.
"I also could copy and paste many contra arguments but I'm not going to waste space and time."
Providing arguments and explaining it in one's own words isn't internet search copy paste buddy guy. You can attempt to defend your position (it's not like I haven't heard the arguments and responses posed by Christians 🙄)
"What you say Christianity is lacking, I'm of the completely opossite opinion. The Christian faith is fulfilling me and my life."
How exactly?
"I studied and still study different faiths and Christianity is the one I chose. It makes to me the most sense, including historically. "
I've also studied many different religions and beliefs, after further studying Christianity (both theology and it's historical origins), I only found the urge to disbelieve in it.
"Talking about the theology - it is a faith. Either you belive in certain aspects or not. People have different reasons why they belive."
But, the doctrines and beliefs of the faith has to be sound to reason and intellect, dismissing that, whilst believing it without question or thinking it through, is blind faith.
"I belive as humans we are not able to discover everything with our minds."
With such level of reasoning, it would be fair to assume that Jainism or Buddhism is completely correct and there is nothing wrong in believing in it, even though you certainly don't find many of it's doctrines or dogma rational.
"Talking about islam, I could mention countless sahih hadiths as well as islamic scholars of today that do spread anything else than peace and freedom."
And I could easily counter and refute your distortions of "sahih" hadith and bring a plethora of ulema who state that the principle of Islam is freedom and etc.
"If you used to be a muslim, you should know that according to islamic theology (sharia law), a muslim cannot leave islam. If he or she does, the person needs to be killed."
Leaving Islam is not allowed, but the death penalty isn't for kufr and ridda alone.
As Ibn Al Hummam Al Hanafi explains the reasoning behind the law:
فَكَذَا يَجِبُ فِي الْقَتْلِ بِالرِّدَّةِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِدَفْعِ شَرِّ حِرَابِهِ لَا جَزَاءٍ عَلَى فِعْلِ الْكُفْرِ لِأَنَّ جَزَاءَهُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَيَخْتَصُّ بِمَنْ يَتَأَتَّى مِنْهُ الْحِرَابُ وَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ وَلِهَذَا نَهَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النِّسَاءِ وَعَلَّلَهُ بِأَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تُقَاتِلُ
"It is necessary to punish apostasy with death in order to avert the evil of war, not as punishment for the act of unbelief, because the greatest punishment for that is with Allah. This punishment is specifically for those who wage war and this is for the man. For this reason, the Prophet prohibited killing women because they do not fight." (Fath ul-Qadeer 6/72)
Imam Tahawi and others also said the same thing, and the proof that they bring is the fact that the Prophet followed up the statements (regarding the penalty) with:
حَارَبَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
"One who wages war against Allah and His Messenger." (this can be found in Bukhari, Muslim, Nasa'i and many others)
Anyways, what freedom does Christianity offer to apostates and heretics?
"On the contrary, It is written (Luke 14:23): "Go out into the highways and hedges; and compel them to come in." Now men enter into the house of God, i.e. into Holy Church, by faith. Therefore some ought to be compelled to the faith...On the other hand, there are unbelievers who at some time have accepted the faith, and professed it, such as heretics and all apostates: such should be submitted even to bodily compulsion, that they may fulfil what they have promised, and hold what they, at one time, received....Just as taking a vow is a matter of will, and keeping a vow, a matter of obligation, so acceptance of the faith is a matter of the will, whereas keeping the faith, when once one has received it, is a matter of obligation. Wherefore heretics should be compelled to keep the faith. Thus Augustine says to the Count Boniface (Ep. clxxxv): "What do these people mean by crying out continually: 'We may believe or not believe just as we choose. Whom did Christ compel?' They should remember that Christ at first compelled Paul and afterwards taught Him... I answer that, With regard to heretics two points must be observed: one, on their own side; the other, on the side of the Church. On their own side there is the sin, whereby they deserve not only to be separated from the Church by excommunication, but also to be severed from the world by death. For it is a much graver matter to corrupt the faith which quickens the soul, than to forge money, which supports temporal life. Wherefore if forgers of money and other evil-doers are forthwith condemned to death by the secular authority, much more reason is there for heretics, as soon as they are convicted of heresy, to be not only excommunicated but even put to death.""(Summa Theologia, St Thomas of Aquinas)
Remember, what penalties that the Christian God offers for apostates,
"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;
Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth;
Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him:
But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.
And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage."(Deuteronomy 13:6-10)
"And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman."(2 Chronicles 15:12-13)
So, unless if you are willing to denounce Christianity and the Christian God, you really can’t launch this criticism against Islam regarding apostasty laws, as those are condoned by the Christian God.
“This is practises today! In all muslim countries that established sharia as the local law, this death punishment is carries out by the islamic governments.”
Only 12 Muslim countries have an “apostasy law”, and even then, these are cancelled out (in most instances) by the federal law, and thus halting the punishment of apostasy. Mind you, Christian countries also had the apostasy law, only until the rise of secularism (during the 17th-18th century) did they begin to abolish it, otherwise, the Church condemned apostates and heretics to be burned at the stake or even hung.
Love it!! Thank you Gad for the amazing chat. Much respect for both of you guys. Much love from Kuwait. ❤️
Lrab yberkik :)
Ex muslim here.. and THANK GOD! I'm a Christian now. PRAISE JESUS OUR LORD!
stay safe brother...Maintain some degree of anonymity for your own safety. God bless you
it's not that scary.. im very much fine here :) thank you..
Thank God for attracting you to Jesus! I hear the angels sing to welcome you ...
Jesus is Lord!
I love Brother Rachid. I have been watching him since I was a child. My stepdad used to criticize him and his show and I would be mesmerized by him. I even tried to find his show on CZcams when I was a kid...but I didn't know his name and I was on constant supervision so I was afraid. I was scared my stepdad would find out my search history. Anyway, Brother Rachid I wanna let you know how amazing you are. Thank you!
Scary to think you don't even have the freedom to leave a religion, and have to regularly worry about apostasy laws.
Banditrants!! I didn't know you watched Gad SAAD, ahah is this fate???
hahaha, subscriber and content creator meet on a legendary platform, definitely fate!
One of the "rules" they came up with to stop people leaving. Truly spiritual
A muslim friend of mine lives in fear of his relatives constantly despite being devout.
Islam is the deadliest organization in the history of humanity.
Really enjoyed this. Living in Saudi I couldn't get over how little real faith there actually is. Prayers are so you are seen by your boss / in laws so you don't get any trouble; but very little in the way of spirituality.
Thanks for this interview Gad, what a great guest this man is. I've seen his videos before - he's brilliant.
Gad, Thank you for having this eloquent Christian man on your show. He is a blessing. The truth comes from only those who know Islam by experience.
he is a wonderful, lovely, brave man
WOW, this is one of your best interviews. I've been following brother Rashid. He is a well informed individual. He knows islam really well. No hatered only great information!
This Brother Rashid is speaking like an angel. What he is saying makes total sense. You are both so noble in the work you do.
Mr. Rachid gives me hope, not for Islam but for Muslims.
The mental condition of Dhimmitude must be understood in the West if we want to resist Islamic conquest (again).
Brian London would you please explain?
Always amuses me that "jew" is an insult in many countries.
My grandperants (mother side) migrated from Egypt to Israel in 1934.
My grandfather was a merchant in a large bazaar in Cairo, and was a respected member of the community.
Sadly the neigbors around the household slowly became more hostile and envious, and at the boiling point set fire to my family's pideon and chicken coops, making them flee their home to other country.
And here's my point- my grandperants never stopped loving Egypt, they still watch Egyptian movies and soap operas from their apartment in Tel Aviv, Israel.
They used to take yearly holidays to Egypt, until the terrible time automatic fire was opened on their tour bus, because word around the street spread its a "zionist bus"..they never returned since.
All my family and many others from different countries (Tunisian, Lebanese, Maroccans, Iraqis) still love their heritage, customs and culture, too bad the other side doesnt feels the same.
My grandmother fled to Israel from Egypt as well :)
Ido Noiman I am Egyptian Christian and I left Egypt because of Islam 25 years ago
My grandfather was a Greek Egyptian, he fled to South Africa.
Edorn
That's just Galutism.
Your heritage is Hebrew.
so true but the sad thing. As an Iraqi. I say this: Iraqi Jews or christian are not immigrant. They were in iraq thousand of years before Islamic cult exist.
thank you brother Rachid. You are an amazing brother in Christ
I've become agnostic thanks to brother Rachid :)
Brother Rashid is a hero. Love the guy. Thank you for a great, great show Gad Saad.
That story about his father broke me.
This is one of the most intelligent perspectives on Islam that I have ever heard. It is because of Brother Rachid and people like him that there is hope.
Great to see Brother Rachid on!
Two great men. One great interview. Cheers!
holy hell, that story about apostasy with his father was deep.
Islam is destroying humans
yes... it was very impressive and remains in my mind
My hero
ولد البلاد راك مشرفنا
Anas Zakiri. 😍 😶😶😶..(I feel embarrassed to reply to and old comment)
I like bro Rachid so much !!! He is so nice and he is really a blessing for many people.i admire him much because for the love of Jesus,he had to leave his family wich i am sure,was not easy for him and start everything from zero wich was very hard.God bless you bro Rachid!! just continue to share the Gospel to many people!
When you consider the Temptation of Christ and His rejection of Satan, it appears to me that Mohammad took the Devil's deal of satisfying his every carnal desire.
Saw Dr Rachid a year ago in an english video - and follow this channel to see if there would be more english videos. Unfortunally not, - but I understand... We are not the target audience. Keep up the great work, Rachid.
Great chat!!! Hopefully you will educate us more about Islam :)
check David wood on youtube he's very good source
Really enjoyed this conversation. Rachid is an intelligent, very decent courageous human being, and a born again Christian to boot. I didn't think the combination was possible.
انا تركت الاسلام بفضل الاخ رشيد و صرت لادينية ، بشكر الآخ رشيد من كل قلبي و بشكرك كتيييير لأنك استضفتو ليحكي معك
Excellent excellent EXCELLENT chat!!!! Thank you Gad Saad and Brother Rachid.. greatest respect to you both. God bless and protect you.
Great conversation Gad and Bro. Rachid!
Rachid and Gad, the word "hashak حاشاك" means: "may you stay clean from it" and is said whenever a word with bad meaning is mentioned.
Gad, have you considered inviting pat Condell?
I dontknow Good choice!
Everybody must see this video!
Gad Saad glad to share the same city with you. keep up the good work.
Love when Gad has a chance to break out the Arabic!
NIce guy and nice interview, thanks.
Great interview. Reminds me of Coming Home Network where Catholic converts discuss their journey.
Brilliant! Thank you so much :)
Awesome! I learned something new.
Very good. Excellent to get this out. Thank you.
if you could convie please tell brother Rashid to have subtitle to all the video...
Great Conversation, Thanks Gad and Brother Rashid.
So beautiful testimony. God bless you brother Rashid✊❤️
Rachid is probably right about the birth rates (52:04). I've heard that the main source of Islam's growth these days is not conversion (as converts typically stay with Islam for an average of 2 years), but the high Muslim birth rates, including in Europe. However, I've heard that the birthrates among Muslims, though still much higher than among Europeans, are going down in the Arab world and within the Muslim populations in Europe.
yes , also notice that new europeans converts are more extremists that native muslims who grow up in arab contries .
Excellent Talk, well done and Thank You
Brother Rachid has a nice calm demeanor on his shows. I just wish it was in english a lot more hehe
Azeraph what a sweet spirit and lovely energy was this interview🙏🏽
bless you brother and a lot of strength for everyday work and showing the truth abt our Jesus to muslim. tx
I found him, Brother Rachid, on utube and then, I couldn't find anything again. So glad you are speaking with Brother Rachid. He's brilliant. I like listening to Rachid. He's sincere.
David Wood and Brother Rachid enlightened me on ISLAM
Great discussion. Thank you.
Another great talk sir's.
Brother Rachid, I am very impressed by your knowledge about religion. You are the power for humanity and salvation for suppressed Muslims. You are great.
While all of these chats are interesting, I am especially fond of this one.
Loved this guy!!
How can people put their religion over their own children/family
The Gadfather's accent in Arabic is super elegant compared to other accents.
DK Youngson it's soft and a pleasant accent
Gad is so cute when he speaks Arabic ^____^
So how come Muslims don't seem to convert to Christianity isn't Judaism rituals and tenets closer to Islam?!
Thanks for showing off your Arabic Mr Saad.
Ivan Boyraz - yeh they both have 'pig' issues.
Pope - you make a good point.
the process of converting to judaism is hard. Giur can be between 6 months and a 18 months. it includes alot of studyingand is never done on mass. Judaism is not just a religion its the traditional tribal practice,. Converting to judaism is a long process of being "exepted into the tribe" even today only people who are dedicated and realy want it go thrue with it.
Christianity & Islam are missionary religions, historically more fanatical, violent, spread by conquest = Empire. Christianity has had time to grow up.
Fazia A the violence is not inherent. Christianity melded with graecoroman philosophy and was coopted by the Roman Empire. once it became the state religion then violence was needed to enforce that status. Islam on the other hand has never been peaceful.
Gad, you look significantly slimmer! Hopefully it is not just camera angles. Keep up the fight brother.
This guy is a legend! He saved so many from islam
Wonderful
1:14 of course, libanaise accent is so cute, the best ... and you sound so lovely GAD when you switch to Arabic 😍 and I am a big fan of Fairouz ❤
Hi brother Rachid
That was simply fantastic! Thank you so much for making the investment of effort to make it happen!
Brother Rachid is a great guest with a great story and a great faith.
It's cool yet strange how some of the stuff in these conversations sound like jokes, but that they're real.
A very interesting show Gad but I'd like to know how his relationship with his family is now after leaving Islam. Has there been any reconciliation?
The best guest
9:55 I think the English equivalent of the untranslatable word is "trigger warning"
Nicholas Tan lol
every word is beauiful when it is for love & peace
تحياتي لك أخ رشيد
حماكَ الله من شر الدنيا والآخرة
You had that in Lebanon - I had that in England, and now in Hungary. It's our lot.
Just checked out Brother Rachid's Facebook-page and he apparently has 1,3 million followers there. I thought this was some small guy, lol.
I would like to see a chow or a debate about Islam with all these activits or ex-muslims, like Brother Rachid with Hamed Abdel-Samed, Hazem Farraj, Sherif Gaber, Sarah Haider, Brigitte Gabrielle, David Wood...etc ALL TOGETHER to show how aware muslims are more and more exposing the violence of Islam et are quiting it.
19:50 I would use the analogy of a Doctor despising the virus that destroys the patient he works hard to save.
We love the Muslim, not Islam that effects him.
To those of you who dislike, *HAVE THE COURAGE TO JUSTIFY IT!* Perhaps we can learn.
I love Rashid but have to agree with Saad. The Lebanese dialect is the coolest. Lol
Regarding the topic of immigration, Slovak politician called Skripek also suggested to let come only Christians since they are real refugees. Of course he was criticised for it.
Thank you Rashid
Unicorn islam aha, that's just priceless :D
May love and peace of Jesus sustain all the world, God bless u both , please increase the English religion discussion and brother rachid please translate ur episodes to English it is very informative.
yesterday,there was a show on german tv, where Hamed Abdel-Samad tried to talk to different muslims in europe. The sufi didn‘t invite him. A "very moderate" sufi from Granada literally said:"You can criticise a Muslim, but you can‘t criticise Islam - a Muslim may fail.But Islam is always right."
Brother Rachid brought up a VERY good point that is often not discussed; Our (American) conception of separation of church and state is itself partly a Protestant idea, and it is then much easier to apply in a mostly Protestant society, as was the case in 18th century America. Even Catholics ran up against this concept as well as Mormons. Catholicism, Judaism, and Islam are communal religions that require to various degrees a group or societal worship, not just a relationship between the individual and their respective god.
First I want to thank you for this interesting interview ,
I am christian , i am from Romania 🇷🇴 , ( witch by the way is a very beautiful country) , but , turning into the point, i am not the most deeply christian , because i believe in love , in Mother Earth, I listen other people who are not from my culture, I believe in a better world for all of us !
We share the goods’ , we share the nature that this only Planet offer to us , OXIGEN , WATER , just to keep us alive ! And we turn back most of the time only sadness....
I respect only the MOTHER EARTH !
We are different as a cultural mind and socialite, but for my point of view, tu be human and empathetic is not about religion!
I was as a tourist in different muslim countries, in different years and i see the changes , i take my last visit in Turkey as example..... I didn’t feel comfortable anymore because the president changed the country , I cannot go to Istanbul for example and to go out and feel freedom like 10 years ago or 20 years ago , even if they are making more autobahn than in Romania .!
Here we have totally freedom even we have problems with the corruption, but is the problem that anyway it happens everywhere, so I feel chiil and free-to do whatever I want when I want , as like everyone in here !
In our country live a lot off different colture, and we live in peace ✌️ !
I just want PEACE FOR THE WORLD NO MATTER THE RELIGION !!!!🌺💓
At 9:59 talking about not even mentioning Jew: sounds like "he who should not be mentioned ".
the expression used in Arabic "Hashak" is also used whenever you mention something that is below the level of the conversation you are having, or the person you are conversing with. it is definitely used when mentioning faeces, toilets & animals (say in a prestigious setting where animals are considered filthy , not among farmers). etc. and of course it is used with people too but it is certainly offensive, for example in satire you could say "those politicians, Hashak, are worse than ...etc" and that would be funny because it's so strong, and it certainly means that you think these politicians are absolute sh*t. NOW to the translation into English, the word implies a pronoun referring to God usually, and has the verb -root "Hasha" which means exclude or prevent or save, and the "K" at the end is a pronoun for addressing a male... so a fairly accurate translation would be "May God preserve you ( /or elevate you above) it" and "it" can be replaced by "what I have just mentioned"
Beautiful story about br. R and Dad
Interesting to compare Arabic accents. To my non-Arabic-speaker ear, the Lebanese accent is more lyrical and less gutteral than any other I've heard; I'm wondering if it has more old European influence.
Rez Zircon I'd say Moroccan has more influence from European French.
Likely so in modern times, tho I was thinking in terms of medieval or earlier influence, and eastern Mediterranean (Italy on east).
Rez Zircon the lebanese and the syrian accent are indeed very lyrical. however, the Moroccan accent sounds so distorted that most arabs don't understand it...
Rez Zircon Lebanese/Syrian (aka Levant) accent are influenced by the origin root of both Arabic and Hebrew: Syriac and Aramaic and there is a Greek/Persian/French influence as well
Moroccan one is different, the reason why middle easterners don't understand it because it is basically Berber/Amazigh north african language in core with Arabic and Amazigh lexicography influenced by French, Hebrew, Spanish and Portuguese
Thank you, very interesting.
good talk. sharia needs to be properly countered.
Hats Off Brother Rashid !!! Islam de-Skins Muslims from Humanity.
I am worried about Gad. There is too much blinking going on in this video. He's either crying for help, or he needs glasses.
Lol....
Great video, agree with your views on radical islamism etc. Islam is islam, same scripture, Allah and Muhammad. These are just words used not to hurt feelings or acknowledge the true nature of the threat.
Because the bible calls for people to lie and dress up as non believers in order to covert others to christianity and many have done this shamelessly and later got caught I find it hard to believe this guy
Your lies and disinformation about the Bible reveals your hatefilled mindset.
Gad, Please have a chat with Camille Paglia~~
I am a prophet, and I am the Chosen One!!!! Happy happy happy happy happy!!
What a great guest. What a great guy Brother rachid is... please invite rev Majid el shaffie from one free world international...he is a wonderful guy who has a great testimony..
"there will be no harm if the interests of Muslims converge with the interests of the socialists in the fight against the crusaders, despite our belief in the infidelity of socialists."
Osama Bin Laden,
broadcast on Arab television station al-Jazeera on 11 February 2003.
I don't see saudi arabia saying to all muslim refugees from syria come to saudi arabia.
Again the analogy of the pork consumption amongst contemporary Jews and kashrut applies to the Islamic scenario - just because Muslims do not behave in ways prescribed by the Islamic canonical texts does not mean the prescriptions do not exist.
to be fair buying tomatoes and going to a party is more important than Islam
Bro Rashid, God bless you for the great work that you doing. I would like to know if your father become a believer in Jesus before he died?
