- @MattPowellOFFICIAL does it again. Tonight he is going to attack Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. Of course he has to employ the weapons of lies, twisting the truth and underhand arguments.

Fantastic video Mr S. No defending Islam, or any religion, but calling Matt out for the cherry picking, and complete hypocrite that he is.
Remember that Matt is also completely wrong in so many of his claims. His pseudo-claims are not even cherry picking but out loud lies.
When he spoke about making old women cry, I had to remember the triumphant smile of DITRH when he made that woman in the nursing home cry. Her tears almost dripped on his cheek.
"supposed to honour your wives" - Tell that to Kent Hovind, after he slammed his wife into the floor and then blamed her for it, "bully old ladies", you mean like how you bullied that guy at your sermon, telling him that he would go to hell, yeah, good one Matt, can't see this video backfiring on him!
Hovind honours his wives so much, one was just not enough..
You're asking Powell not to lie. That's like asking a real person not to breathe...
"We supposed to honour your wives"... really Matt? Yup, you never read your bible, have you!?
Please read Timothy 2:12... again:
"I do not allow a woman to teach or to act superior to a man, but to be quiet"
I see the honour there Matt... I can almost feel it.
Looks like his boss read and abided that passage.
@@misterocain
Heresy!
Only the dude abides!
:)
Yeah, well, you know how it is... its only bad if its not from his silly holyBook.
How about honoring big inflatable bananas in the backyard, named Dr. Peel...?
It's so damn funny that we Atheists seem to know more about all the religions than creationists do. Heck. We seem to know more about the Bible, and Christianity than Creationists usually do.
Maybe that's why we became atheists...?
Viced Rhino out quotes fundies like a BOSS!
In many cases critics often know more about a religion than the main stream followers. In the case of creationists I'm not sure atheists know more as much as they tend to be honest while many creationists know the truth yet flat out lie.
I’m glad to see Matt is against beating wives. Perhaps he could have a word with Kent and explain to him it’s a bad thing?
Ironically, he is also a misogynist. Kent is a blatant misogynist himself. Remember that Kent insulted female CZcamsrs that criticized him like Rachel Oates and Emma Thorne.
Can’t wait for Matt’s next episode - ‘Fatwa’s - how DO you get them lifted?’
🤣🤣🤣
@Matt Powell OFFICIAL has a giant inflatable banana in his backyard which he calls Dr. Peel
#FreeDrPeel....
There are a lot of problems with Islam, the story of Aisha being just one of them. But Matt needs to turn the bright light of inquiry on his own beliefs and practices. His own internal rot appears to be growing with each passing month.
How is the story of Aisha is a problem, have you even read anything about Aisha the greatest Islamic scholar.
No, Muhammad married Aisha when she was nine. He starts off saying six then changes it to nine. Doing so was considered an act of charity. The marriage was not consumated until several years later, when she was "of age". The accounts of how many years later that was vary, but the socially acceptable age at the time, in that society, was around 13.
Never mind England, Mr S., we get an even more extreme example in the history of Scotland. How old was Margaret, the "Maid of Norway" when she sailed to Scotland to be married in 1290 -about 670 years after Muhammad married Aisha? She was SIX. Was consumation of the marriage to be postponed until after the age of puberty, as in Muhammad's case? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
She was queen of Scotland, as the sole heir of her grandfather, Alexander III, who had died in 1286. Whoever married her would be king of Scotland. There were two bitter rivals, one of them the nominee of the king of England, Edward I "(Longshanks") through whom he hoped to unite the crowns. The plan was that she was to be crowned at Scone and married on the same day to whichever of the rivals won the struggle. Consumation of the marriage would be IMMEDIATE and in front to witnesses, namely the Guardians of Scotland, who had been ruling in the absence of a king since Alexander died. If the marriage was not consumated in front of witnesses, the unsuccessful "suitor" (i.e. power-hungry bastard) or his faction would have been off to Rome pronto to get the marriage annulled by that nice Mr Pope.
None of this happened because Mary fell ill and died at sea, probably of influenza. So the power vacuum remained and led to the better known events of Scottish history ... The English invasion ... his puppet installed as king ... William Wallace's rebellion ... (failed) ... Robert Bruce find he's not going to be appointed as the next English puppet king, so rebels against the English, suddenly becoming a Scots patriot to recruit the people who had fought with Wallace (cynical scumbag, eh?) ... Edward I dies ... Bruce defeats his army at Bannockburn and "sent them hameward tae think again" ... blah-de-blah.
Anyway, back to Muhammad and Aisha. She is called "the Mother of the Believers" in Islam because she proved to be a very able and intellectually accomplished woman. After Muhammad's death, she trained the first generation of the Ulema, the body of Muslim scholars, those who succeeded the personal companions of Muhammad in interpretation of the still new religion.
You're on weaker ground in relying on a Hadith of Musnad Ahmad. There are numerous collections of Hadiths and tens of thousands of them. They are rated from sahih (reliable) through hasan (some weakness in the chain of transmission), da'if (unreliable) to mawdu (fabricated, made up by a charlatan. You know like Mat Powell's nonsense or flat earth). There are only two collections Muslims pay any attention to: Bukhari (all sahih) and al-Muslim (all sahih except a couple). People citing other collections are generally regarded as either a bit dodgy or dangerous etremists plugging crap. (That the rough 90% of Muslims who are Sunni. The Shi'a have different collections of Hadiths and they don't play such an important part in Shi'ism.)
Matt Powell would actually be constructive (as if!) were he to discuss, say, the differing views of Jesus in the Bible and the Qur'an. There is a lot about Jesus (Isa) there. He is the second most frequently mentioned person in the Qur'an (Moses {Musa} is tops, but after Jesus there's a long gap to Abraham {Ibrahim} in third place). There are only four mentions of Muhammad, though perhaps one more under the name of "Ahmad".
I immediately laugh once I hear people like Matt Powell say converts to Islam don't know about Islam and then proceed to show his complete ignorance about the Hadith and Islam in general. Of course he has a clear agenda and honestly and scholarship are not his true intention.
So he can be a skeptic when it comes to Islam, but not when it comes to Christianity. How surprising! 🙄
Matt seems to be under the impression that if he points out that some other religion is worse (in his opinion) then that's an argument for why his is good.
More unclear thinking on Matt's part.
Honestly, if Islam is somehow worse, it's only marginally so, because their teachings are mostly the same as christains anyway.
@@Szadek23 Now that's a funny typo :D
Now he should find another Christian denomination to demonize (start from the Lutheran Church or even the Catholic Church)
@@denzelminimo1883 Pretty sure he is in the "Catholics are pagans!" group.
@@Szadek23 He was, automatically.
They, for sure hated Lutherans and Anglicans just because of that
Islam teaches about Ischa, you know, the same story as Jesus Christ. Also islam teaches about Mohammed, u know, same story as John the Baptist 🤣🤣🤣🤣. And don't get me started on the similarities on punishment, slavery, r@pe and child abuse 🤫
wwoww, just friggin wow... and this is a person who "adores" the lord and associates...
Matt Powell taking things out of context and cherry picking?! Well whatever next? Oh and regarding judging other religions, maybe he should take a closer look at his own before doing so.
Oh ffs, warn me that it's Matt we see first, I almost shouted fu*k on the streets!
Matt, not telling lies? Rather the sun fail to shine, or the moon fall from orbit.
He’s got some nerve - others have been murdered for drawing cartoons.
Matt IS a cartoon.....
Man created god. Not the other way around.
Of course. A true god would be a force of reason, high above petty human things, like emotions.....
Apples and oranges.
It all tastes sour too the critical mind.
Matt Powell - the worlds only living personality donor , a self aware skin suit ..and precious little else - Oh and Matt have a word with your pal Kent about beating wives - practical experience trumps reading about it - isn't that right!
I'm grabbing a popcorns and I hope there will be answer from the other side. 🤩
You gotta lie to YEC.
Looking forward to Matt starting the Young Earth Islam movement.
Love it!!
...urg, I really, REALLY hate that Powell is forcing me to consider defending Islam. Dont get me wrong, I think that Islam is much, MUCH worse than Christianity in basically every way, but I'd prefer to slam it based on facts, not whatever bullshit Powell is going to be coming out with.
There is...no difference whatsoever between what Islam teaches and what Christianity teaches. The difference is, Christianity was forced to grow up and evolve as the Church lost power while Islam never had to do that.
That isnt really relevant under normal circumstances, much like the whole slavery thing. It only becomes relevant when people start bringing up claims about their founding father/holy books being morally perfect. THEN you can slap them with that fact. Of course, if we're considering that, Mary was also a child when God impregnated her. Real upstanding guy there!
...um, Matt, are you sure that you, as a Christian, want to keep this up? You DO know about the insane number of scandals regarding kiddie fiddling priests, right? Also, it ties into age of consent laws, which are a fairly recent thing. Before that, I'm pretty sure that the only real requirement was that the girl had had her first period.
HOLY SHITBALLS, WHAT THE FUCK DELOWARE?!
Um, Matt, they lived in a desert. You get moisture where you can and I'm fairly sure that camal piss would contain a fair amount of the stuff.
...well, that was a rather interesting insult. I cant disagree though. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go and watch something fluffy until I can forget that I've defended Islam for any length of time.
@@FelixBat Yup. AND the Bible says that you should respect the Government and PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES KENT! He had the line pointed out to him and he said that that only applied to Ceaser, not the Government in general.
Ancient people did not live as long either. Imagine getting married at 20 then dying at 30. I don't know the death rate in figures but it was pretty young compared to today's age of usual death
They got older. AVERAGE age was about 30, but with more than half the children dying by 2 years old, maximum age must have been higher.....
I think I'll stick to the highway code, because it makes a lot more sense 🚙🚦
0:16 The majority of Islam's growth is internal, i.e. people being born into it. As far as converts, since Christians make up the largest religious group in the world it's to be expected they also make up the largest group of converts to Islam. I suspect the number of Neo-pagans converting to Islam are quite small, seeing as how they're among the smallest religious groups in the world.
In the marketplace of ideas may the best idea win!
And many of the Christians who convert to Islam were exposed to Young Earth Creationism and quit being Christians on the spot. Hovind has caused hundreds of thousands to dump Christianity.
Thank you.
I'm a bit confused, he said if people knew "the teachings of Islam", but all he's talking about is Mohammed's personal life?
Then again, he does the same thing with Darwin...
Yes.
its like Matt Powell has watched a Tommy Robbing his fans video and just repeated it like its fact.
Matt Powell has a delivery more soporific than Eric Dubay!
8:57 "we are supposed to honour our wives, not beat them and physically assault them .... ". Ahem, Mr Powell do you think you could tell that to your boss?
I think we all agree that marrying 6 year old and consummating the marriage at 9 years old is wrong but Matt, where in your book of ultimate objective rules, does it condemn such a practice?
There is widely accepted evidence written by the more serious religious historians that the 6 year old bride myth is exactly that, a myth. It is now accepted that Aisha was was between 15 and 19.
@@andcouncil1 Fair enough, if that is true, but the Bible (and Quran) should still tell us that child abuse is forbidden in the same way that the likes of theft is.
@@misterocain
It says to hit your kids, that’s child abuse.
The bible doesn’t condemn it, it encourages it.
@@misterocain The only reason I brought this up was to point out that most religious scholars call it ''bad practice'' to quote the Hadithic texts as they were written 200 years after the death of Mohamed where as the original Qurannic texts were written ad verbatim. This is where most Western political and scientific commentators get it wrong, either by mistake, or deliberately. In the mean time I agree that child abuse is bad.....but theft is more subjective. For instance, can you steal from a thief? Of course i refer to the dictum ''all property is theft''. But that's another topic.
@@robj4078 Good point and that works with slavery too but i was talking about sexual abuse of children.
Perhaps "Matt Powell Official Hypocrite" should take note of his own book of myths and legends, in particular Matthew 7:5 "Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye".
Matt *conveniently* forgets that his bible condones pedophilia, by *NOT* listing it as a sexual crime in the book of Leviticus, or anywhere else, for that matter!
Thank you mr.sensible for answering the argument and respect your research , may god bless you
Thank you.
It is one thing to disagree about Islam, but i cantstand his lies and hypocrisy.
S
Yea Matt has no sense of context for the time period and culture. He is not a scholar. He is a salesman and not a very good one.
And thus began Jihad.....
Among other things I'm offended by that roller blind not hanging straight!
Marrying a young girl is not necessarily paedophilia, that is being sexually attraction to young children, not the same thing.
Has Powell read Numbers 31:18
"But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves."
How about the fact a captive woman can be made to marry so her husband can have sex with her, no consent on her part needed.
‘But... but... ALL I KNOW HOW TO DO IS LIE AND HATE!’
There is nothing better from spreading hate than a theist spreading hate against the other religions.
That's too expected on them. His cohorts Kent Hovind and Steven Anderson are the proofs.
His congregation also spread hate against the Catholic Church
Don't forget that Matt Powell has an Inflatable banana in his backyard which he calls Dr Peel!
How could we ever forget that? LOLOL
Jesus was a JEW not GOD !
Jesus worshipped in a synagogue to GOD
not himself !
God of Islam and Christianity are the same. I don't believe in any god but seriously, just respect each other's religion!
I would rather say accept.....
Don't forget about those eeeevil Islamic scientists and scholars who predicted the shape of the Earth and contributed in the ancient science field. You see why science is evil because some scholars that appeared to be theists are Muslims!
@@9fmradisapratama just asking, are you referring to the golden age of Arabic science?
Their religion's (Independent Fundamental Baptist) Islamophobia is just absolutely disgusting.
You're telling him "don't tell lies"? He wouldn't have any material left.
I love Matts constant use of the "finger quotes" as if that lends his arguments any sort of credence . Since I first noticed it , I laugh my head off every time he does it ......... enjoy.
Yes, I also noted that. It don't give his argument and credence. In fact, it's quite the opposite.
Everytime he does that, I want to reach through the screen and bend his fingers backwards
Give one good quality that he suppose to be a prophet...
Oh dear, the same right wing talking points from 10 years ago. Nobody uses this crap any more.
@@FelixBat #DragonforTussk.....
Yeah but YEC fundies haven't changed their worldview for centuries.
Oh, this mewling quim.
Unfair! Unfair! The title promises a Christian preacher, but we just got Matt Powell!
I mean, I suppose that technically, yes, he is Christian, and technically, yes, he is a preacher, but I was expecting someone vaguely competent!
Aside: anyone else notice that when he does his atheist videos, they have ‘the craziest ideas I’ve ever heard’, but when he does an Islam video now THEY have ‘the craziest ideas I’ve ever heard’? Looking forward to his video about Hinduism, or for that matter, Sikhs. Can’t imagine what he’ll have to say about them…
Wonder what the patriarchs of the old testament were up to. They were part of the same culture as the founders of Islam. Iron age nomads and desert clans. And some still listen to them.
Man you got to love them Christian values.
But Matt Powel is such a good christian, he has to lie all the time, but it is allowed because it is to defend his religion.
Oh my, a believer in fairytales criticizing another fairytale... I could never...
Well young Matt Powell Official here has some ground breaking knowledge here about Islam. We should definitely share his video with all the extreme and conservative Muslim groups out there. I'm sure they want to thank Matt official personally for making this video.....
Mr. S, isn't comparing Matt's arguments to "a fetid pile of dingo kidneys" is a bit of an insult to fetid dingo kidneys, isn't it?
Oh, and I love that line about "Incest, A Game For the Whole Family!" I can just imagine the cover for the box THAT gme came in . . . .
Thinking about it I wonder at what age a boy became a man in those times, guessing around 13-15? Then considering the average life span of someone back then, Matt himself may have been considered an old man. Maybe not far off being considered a wise man 😬 Now that is a scary thought!
Back then, a boy was deemed a man as soon as he could ejaculate.
Matt would be considered an ancient or elder. That don't always mean wise.
I hope Mr Sensible doesn't pick on followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster
The god Matt has chosen to believe in must be more real than the god someone else has chosen to believe in.
This bible basher really creeps me out. He is so slimy.
0:41-0:45 Converting yourself to other religions (e.g. Christian to Buddhist) is a hard process itself, unless that person got excommunicated from his religion of origin.
And, Matt, you can't blame the people who converted if they were unhappy with the doctrines of their religion of origin, or even the preachers.
Get any death threats on this video Matt?
The only thing Matt is upset about is that the faitytale book he believes in didn't come up with some of the stuff written in the Koran.
Ah Dingos Kidneys, the perfect way to end a Matt Powell video.
Because of course it's Matt Powell! 🤦♀️
At least he's not trying to argue in favor of the age of consent being based on puberty, like the Bible does. And yes, there are Christians who teach this.
The Stepford Apologist is at it again, lint has more personality!!
Perhaps it is because I don't frequent Matt Powell's website, but I can't recall the last time I saw a Matt Powell video when he extolled the virtues of Christianity. He seems to be the kind who seldom argues FOR something because he holds it to be GOOD and JUST. More often than not, he seems to argue AGAINST something because he holds it to be BAD and UNJUST.
There is an adequate descriptor for behavior like this: Fear mongering.
I honestly can't imagine what it would be like to know someone like Matt Powell. Who would want to spend time with another person who unyieldingly sucks the optimism out of life and is persistently griping about things with which they disagree?
oh, well... there we go again.... another case of "believe mah book - but just these lines, and not these lines".. what was that passage about glass ceilings and throwing stones?.. it would be funny if not tragic, to see one of the 3 faiths of The Nameless One, argueing about the others "mah book" and "mah chosen one", like petty siblings under the same allfather... books that share the first part, because all the 3 faiths of the shattered, follow the same one divine, the same Nameless One, of whom one shall not name in vain (and thus forgot the name to use only titles), and unhappy to argue with those outside the faith, such hypocrite heretic not attacks their own?... whats next? add a giant cross to that black shirt? if said heretic were to actually learn history, one would find that was done in the past, and did not work... alas, I doubt that one will ever learn, so all that is left is wait for the next set of nonsense... oh, well..
The believer in one terrible criticising another terrible religion. For gord’s sake mr Powell, read the frigging old testament and you have a sckwillion reasons to say goodbye to the FINE christian religion ….
A very controversial subject, but since it is bought up in the video I don't think it's matters what was seen as acceptable in the day, marrying a small child of a very young age is extremely wrong however you try to look at it. Women are not treated with equality to the extreme in Islam, it's not comparable to Christianity, see what happens if a woman decided to enter the main entrance of a Mosque to pray, but much more seriously you might want to watch a true story movie called Not Without My Daughter (1991) or at least look up the story, I'm sorry if it offends anyone, but it's facts.
What about the fact that of all the women in the Bible only a small number have names. Mary, Ruth, Esther, and a few others. I don’t know what the percentage is but I’m fairly certain it’s in the single digits.
What about all the “crimes” that call for the death penalty? Wearing clothes of two different cloths? Planting two different crops next to each other? Working on the sabbath? Selling your daughters? I could go on.
How many commandments are there beyond the 10 we know? Hundreds upon hundreds. Most of them are punishable by death.
So Matt, when does the greatness of that book start?
Funny how Matt didn't mention how Islam treats gay people!
Matt Powell. A despicable human being.
Ah matt powell, the wholly rollers answer to the question, 'How Stupid can matt powell be?' I do believe that Dr. Peel needs to up his rent. Peace
He Matt. Why don't you preach this in Saudi Arabia?

I'd be astonished if they let him in.
@@Forest_Fifer he wasn't banned in that country yet
Hey baldy can you give one good quality of momo...
I find it creepy but if that is the normal for you society then that is normal. I was physically a woman at 10 years old.
To be honest I’d rather be slapped or even punched than burned or stoned.
And the daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by whoring, profanes her father; she shall be burned with fire as it says in Leviticus.
Never mind just beating slaves what about your own children as it says in proverbs
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die. If you strike him with the rod, you will save his soul
And what about cutting off a wife’s hand as it says in deuteronomy, When men fight with one another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, then you shall cut off her hand
It was pedophilia and Mary was not considered 13. Where on earth do you get this info?
Religions exists to civilise and educate humans to do good deeds . The word religion means people of the region or tribes on what they practice and how they worship according to their culture and traditions. The GOD have nothing to do with religion's but humans is the one fighting each other to claim GOD is theirs. Nowadays people even changing the beliefs like a dress like what they like to wear. They believe that by going to another direction of faith they can see the truth and miracles . When infant we all been brought up by our parents with faith they believe but for some when they get older they forget from where they belong and what faith keep them alive this far. Dear friends the meaning of prey to GOD is to thank Him for giving us a life this far in this earth not to hints other believes or religion. God never change is us the one who's changing.
Bomb jokes a no-no? Sorry!
in the book of saint barnabus judas took the place of jesus on the cross so jesus was never crucified as they found a bible stating this.
Matt Powell doesn’t seem to be a very christian christian.
Jesus says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". Stone bonks Jesus on the head. Jesus says "Ouch, Mother pack it in!"
I wonder what religious people are going to say when then en up at the gates of whatever and the person at the gate tells o your Christian or so or so sorry seems Buddha they got it right your going to hell
But most probably the most logical way to see the after life is there’s nothing you died nothing
Am pretty sure in buddhism there's just reincarnation and it doesn't matter whether you believe in it or not.

Mary is around 18-20 years old (she's a young adult at that time) when she got pregnant to Jesus.

Sir Sensible: Matt is not twisting anything. ALL of what he claims are mere fabrications he created or are passing them on from others he has talked with about it.
You mention the issue about strange things in the Bible. How about where in Deuteronomy, it commands that someone who becomes an apostate should be killed. The Qur'an says quite the opposite.(Deuteronomy 13:6-)
About beating one's wife, he forgot the final word on that - ...gently.
Matt Powell says not to get involved in crazy religions... great... we can start with Matt Powell's crazy crap church.
Bu Mr Sensible, please please, the Quran teaches the followers of Islam to slaughter nonbelievers.
Quran
Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things." (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans for loot. (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help." (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (3:151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah'). (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (4:74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah. This is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers. (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (4:76) - "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (Satan, etc.). So fight you against the friends of Shaitan (Satan)" The Arabic for the word "fight" is from qital, meaning physical combat.
Quran (4:89) - "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks." (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (4:95) - "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame, etc.), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and their lives above those who sit (at home).Unto each, Allah has promised good (Paradise), but Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward " This passage criticizes "peaceful" Muslims who do not join in the violence, letting them know that they are less worthy in Allah's eyes. It also demolishes the modern myth that "Jihad" doesn't mean holy war in the Quran, but rather a spiritual struggle. Not only is this Arabic word (mujahiduna) used in this passage, but it is clearly not referring to anything spiritual, since the physically disabled are given exemption. (The Hadith reveals the context of the passage to be in response to a blind man's protest that he is unable to engage in Jihad, which would not make sense if it meant an internal struggle). (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (4:101) - "And when you (Muslims) travel in the land, there is no sin on you if you shorten your Salat (prayer) if you fear that the disbelievers may attack you, verily, the disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies." Mere disbelief makes one an "open" enemy of Muslims.
Quran (4:104) - "And be not weak hearted in pursuit of the enemy; if you suffer pain, then surely they (too) suffer pain as you suffer pain..." Is pursuing an injured and retreating enemy really an act of self-defense? (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement" (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (8:12) - "(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels... "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them" No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle, given that it both followed and preceded confrontations in which non-Muslims were killed by Muslims. The targets of violence are "those who disbelieve" - further defined in the next verse (13) as those who "defy and disobey Allah." Nothing is said about self-defense. In fact, the verses in sura 8 were narrated shortly after a battle provoked by Muhammad, who had been trying to attack a lightly-armed caravan to steal goods belonging to other people.

Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."
Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah" Some translations interpret "fitna" as "persecution", but the traditional understanding of this word is not supported by the historical context (See notes for 2:193). The Meccans were simply refusing Muhammad access to their city during the pilgrimage. Other Muslims were allowed to travel there - but not as an armed group, since Muhammad had declared war on Mecca prior to his eviction. The Meccans were also acting in defense of their religion, as it was Muhammad's intention to destroy their idols and establish Islam by force (which he later did). Hence the critical part of this verse is to fight until "religion is only for Allah", meaning that the true justification of violence was the unbelief of the opposition. According to the Sira (Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 324) Muhammad further explains that "Allah must have no rivals." (See also: Response to Apologists)
Quran (8:57) - "If thou comest on them in the war, deal with them so as to strike fear in those who are behind them, that haply they may remember."
Quran (8:67) - "It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war until he had made a great slaughter in the land..."
Quran (8:59-60) - "And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape. Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy." As Ibn Kathir puts it in his tafsir on this passage, "Allah commands Muslims to prepare for war against disbelievers, as much as possible, according to affordability and availability."

Quran (8:65) - "O Prophet, exhort the believers to fight..."
Quran (9:5) - "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them." According to this verse, the best way of staying safe from Muslim violence at the time of Muhammad was to convert to Islam: prayer (salat) and the poor tax (zakat) are among the religion's Five Pillars. The popular claim that the Quran only inspires violence within the context of self-defense is seriously challenged by this passage as well, since the Muslims to whom it was written were obviously not under attack. Had they been, then there would have been no waiting period (earlier verses make it a duty for Muslims to fight in self-defense, even during the sacred months). The historical context is Mecca after the idolaters were subjugated by Muhammad and posed no threat. Once the Muslims had power, they violently evicted those unbelievers who would not convert.

[Note: The verse says to fight unbelievers "wherever you find them". Even if the context is a time of battle (which it was not) the reading appears to sanction attacks against those "unbelievers" who are not on the battlefield. In 2016, the Islamic State referred to this verse in urging the faithful to commit terror attacks: Allah did not only command the 'fighting' of disbelievers, as if to say He only wants us to conduct frontline operations against them. Rather, He has also ordered that they be slain wherever they may be - on or off the battlefield. (source)]
Now Jehovah to the Hebrews aka God the father to the Christians aka Allah to the Moslems is the same deity. But then a preacher like Matt Powell can not see that because even the different Christian churches have it wrong despite believing mostly the same but not accepting your truth of a 6000 year old earth.
Let's assume there is a God, and also a devil, who gains more by splitting the church into differing factions and having them fighting each other, calling them to hate each other, and even crusading against each other.
If God is love, then preaching hate is from the devil.
Bruh it's not Jehovah, it's Yahweh
Oh, Muhammad wasn't the only religious leader to behave in such ways.
There was once a Jewish guy who claimed to be the Messiah, but he stated God sent him only for Jews, which is racist.
The same guy also told ppl that they can eat whatever they like and it won't harm them, which is not only patently false, it's also dangerous for the health of his followers.
Maybe you heard of him, Matt? What was his name? Jitters? Jackass? Oh, yes - Jeebus!
@3:30 Say what you want about Matt but he has a huge pair to actually say this on a youtube video....people have been beheaded for less
Allah says you'll go to hell before paradise read the quran mate
That Matt person gets worse every time he opens his mouth, he twists the world and other belief systems to suit his narrative and narrow view of life and religion. Its frightening how warped his mind really is.
