Hello Everyone! This video is part of a greater series "Muslims in the USA." For those that have been following the full series, I would like to say that I wish I got more Sunni Muslims on camera. Dearborn, MI, where I spent most of my time is mostly Shia. Next video I'll be in Hamtramck, MI which is primarily Sunni. I tried to get many different angles of Islam and I know to do it right it would take me dozens of videos. Enjoy and see you next week!
Muslims in USA playlist: czcams.com/play/PLEyPgwIPkHo63ACFb9ze2kYCxdZywE6RO.html
Interview actual Muslims and not Rafidites who only have an Islamic identity.
Do a little bit of research before you spread false information.
These guys always claim to be peaceful and want unity when they’re being interviewed, but in reality they curse the companions of the Prophet peace be upon him, their CZcams channel is full of it. They’re doing taqiya
Hey you could interview Omar Suleiman, sheikh uthman and many other scholars from mainstream Islam
Cool video man , I gave the video a like , Shia Islam started in Africa and was later introduced to Iran and Iraq and Azerbaijan . I'm not an expert on the subject but the fatiumd caliphate in Africa was Shia , don't fact check me but I think the first Shia Muslim nations were in Africa
Peter, it looks like a lot sectarian bigots and Islamophobic trolls have hijacked your comments page. Please ignore these hatemongers brother, you are doing a great job. God bless you.
The younger Imam is exceptionally gentle and wise, in his thought process. An excellent vehicle to deliver the critical message that Islam is not extremism. I spent 20 years surrounded by Muslims and Peter's opinion that there is no more welcoming and hospitable culture and peoples. They will take the shirt off of their back to ensure that you are warm, without hesitation they will feed and help you in whatever way they can.
@Mohammed D Both Iran and KSA aren't innocent. Leave the politics out of it.
But I do share your concern regarding some of the beliefs that Shias hold. Especially believing in infallible Imams and making Tekfir/Nufaq on companions.
@Mohammed D in my opinion as a Sunni Muslim, the sect here is irrelevant. This Imam is telling the truth about Islam (misunderstood, believing in the Jewish and Christian Scriptures , etc) mentioned our Beloved Prophet
Muhammad SAW
Let's forget about the politics for a second. Whether we're sunni, shia, ahmadi, etc...Muslims in general are all threatened, judged by those who are ignorant about Islam
Allaahu Aalam Allah SWT knows best
@Mohammed D Regardless if he adheres to a minority Islamic ideology than the majority sunni Muslim people he is still Muslim it is not for us to judge him rather to inform them of the false teachings that they follow not condemn the actual individuals but to help guide them. This division is what ruins us and continues to devastate great nations & peoples alike
Patrick you are right dear friend your comment summarises the values & principles of Islam that majority of us Muslims abide by & strive for thank you. God bless you
@Mohammed D
What are you talking about?
Associating partners with Allah is disbelief in Islam, calling upon Hussain (ra) is shirk.
As a Buddhist practitioner these type of healthy conversations brings all of us together with love and harmony. Thank you, Peter and

Shias are not muslims

Shia is not muslim, only Zaidi consider muslim closer to Sunni and Ibadi. Shia Jafari/12, Ismailism, Alawite, Alevism, Druze, Babism and Bahai are deviant.

@@Abu_elQasem My brother, I can get you evidence, but accusing your brothers or sisters of being a Kafir is bad in Islam. We the Shia say the Shahada, we are obliged to pray the 5 daily prayers and etc. Why do you still claim us a kafir even though we do things that you Sunni's do? We may pray different or have slightly different beliefs within Islam such as who is the true successor of the Holy Prophet (SAWA) and etc. But why does so many of you Sunni's hate us and claim us to be a "kafir" or a "sect"? What is your deep motivation? Don't like us then ignore us, no need to spread lies about us. I can say, Sunni's are not Muslim, but why should I? I don't want to, I have the ability to control myself from claiming you as Kafir, I am a Man, not a kid, Also as I said it is not good to claim your brothers or sisters as a Kafir without certainly being sure about it. Please brother, don't spread lies/hate against us.
Both father and son have some sort of charming aura
As an American with little interaction with Muslims, only because I live in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, these videos have help me with understanding and putting aside biases.. It's hard to find to Insight into different topics sometimes, so I also I'm grateful for these videos. They definitely helped me with my appreciation for the unknown..
i am happy that you liked the video brother. I am a muslim and if you have any burning questions lol, let me know.
@@shahzaibsansi7848 Thank you my brother, I truly appreciate that.. It's not so much that I have questions. It's mostly just a blessing to have an insight into what the majority/everyday Muslim life is like, and practice of religion.. Also I loved what the son had to say about how we are all part of the same religion, growing up with a somewhat Christian Foundation it was really nice to hear that, especially because I have not heard that from my own pastor's, which to me is sad.. It's not so much that I was raised not to love a specific person/ideology, but one can't help sometimes adopting preceptions of another, that you absorbed in day-to-day life that are completely false..
Everything that I have seen so far shows me that it is a beautiful religion, and way of life.. Plus it is so sad to see how a few bad apples, can suppress the truth so well..
So once again thank you my friend for responding I really appreciate that, and God be with us all..
Sorry to disappoint you this series is misleading because the author is mostly interviewing Shias (Rafidah) if you add them to the muslim population they would be only 10% of the population
Most of them reside in Iran there is no other country completely Shia the next one is Iraq that has like less than half of the population Shia
I hope you go somewhere else to get information about islam
@@shaneb3149 a good person in Islam would be considered a good and kind person in other religions and vise versa, so even before adopting a faith it is important to be kind, accepting and helpful person.
Islamic country like pakistan does not even allow non-muslims to fight in elections for prime minister or president. America and europe gives rights to everyone and islamists misuse these rights, also americans have become over-kind towards other religions and races except white christians, america could be islamist fundamentalist country like pakistan and afghanistan within 60 to 70 years.

Nice joke you India never had Muslim president too same with other non Muslim countries including America, Europe so why you have issues with Muslims countries don’t have non Muslim president while you guys don’t have too. There are so many Muslim countries that has non Muslim prime minster like Turkey, Indonesia, Bosnia 🇧🇦, Albania 🇦🇱 and many other Muslims majority countries. So stop being obsessed with Muslims.
@@sircc7343 we can't have non-Muslim president in Pakistan but we can have non-Muslim Prime minister in Pakistan and Pakistan is not a presidential system lol so a Prime minister have more power.
All my muslim friends were some of the best. I'm a christian and pretty conservative one as well. But my muslim friends, instead of arguing, would hear me out and actually listen to me. We had some great conversations. At the end of the day we may agree to disagree, but I will always love my muslim friends.
I had a Muslim friend as well, and a similar experience as you.
I love my christain friends
Try to watch Othman Ibn faruq. I've learned a lot about Christianity from him

Kufr simply means a veil on eyes not allowing to see belief in God. Some Muslims may have hatred with westerners because their country was destroyed but other than that, Muslims live peacefully with other non Muslims and this is what the Quran invites to…
A revert since 2002 my advice is never listen to the media go out and research Islam for yourself it's truly a beautiful way of life

Keep in mind that American Muslim immigrants are typically high skilled, educated etc who came because of schooling or being able to afford travel. In Europe they have more problems because a large number of recent migrants are uneducated young men who crossed by foot. The Islamic world and its demographics is widely varied.
I love your videos it’s nice to try to understand different people and cultures. I’m not a religious person at all but I think this is interesting. I’m from west Michigan.
As a Jew, you really helped me change my perspective on Muslims. Thank you for that!
To tell you the truth, Muslims have high regards for the Jews(known as People of the Book in Qur’an). People misunderstood that we are against Jews when we oppose practices of Zionists or Zionism.
@@iamhusain94 🙏🏻
@@iamhusain94
That's not completely true though. Most Muslim opposition to "Zionism" is because of opposition to Jews having their own homeland. Why aren't you against other nationalities having their own homeland but against Jews having ours? Anyway how can Muslims claim to be following the Prophets of the Torah when those Prophet's spoke (from G-D's word) that Israel will return to its land?
@@TagMahirTzedek Jews don’t own the land. Before 1947 Israel wasn’t a thing and the land always belonged to Palestine. Palestinians have lived there for centuries and we have no problem with the Jews getting there own land. But when you want to force the Muslims out to form your own country then there’s a problem. I believe in a 2 state solution as long as Palestine gets Jerusalem.
@@dvh_voltz9761 Jews do own the land. Before 1947 their wasn't any "palestine". No such county. No such people. And you claiming Jerusalem says it all. How can you claim to follow the Prophets when they spoke of the Temple being rebuilt in Jerusalem and Jews returning back to the land of Israel and Jerusalem?
It should to be noted, though, that Shi'sm is very different from Sunni Islam, and the vast majority of Muslims follow Sunni Islam so I would recommend also speaking to a Sunni Islamic scholar such as Uthman Ibn Farooq of the *_"One Message Foundation"_* YT channel in San Diego. God Bless Peter, thanks for shedding light on us Muslims in the US.
you're right. i try not to have any prejudice, since they are still Syahadah and those who does Syahadah are Muslim. but most Muslim are Sunni, so i think it's better to interview Sunni later
Yes that's true!
Sunni world 84 Procent chia 11procent
the only difference between shie and Sunni is politics of Islam.
Plz stop this nonsense whether someone is a Sunni or Shia, he is a Muslim after all he'll present you the islam of Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Don't rely on differences
This is one of the most enlightening interviews I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much for this video, it will definitely act as the catalyst for some serious research into the similarities between Islam and Christianity.
Quran (9:29): “Fight against Christians and Jews until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.”
Quran (5:51): “Don’t take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.”
Quran (2:65-66): “Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.”
Quran (5:51): “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Quran (9:30): "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"
The video three stages of Jihad by David Wood on CZcams is very informative.
@@vijaymenon5738 I love when folks post these verses as stand alone but ignore the context before and After these verses and what took place during that time.
Muslims paid zakat every week. They paid Saadakah as well mandated service in the military when drafted. Muslims had to give away goods they haven’t used in one year to the needy. Non Muslims living under the protection of Muslims Sultanate did NOT have to serve. They could volunteer if they like and many Sultanate had Jewish Generals. 1 even had a Jewish a Vazir which is a very powerful rule. Like a Being head of the state department. None Muslims held their own courts. No one stopping them from drinking, eating pork, and living their lives. We didn’t force convert folks historically but we did incentivize it by freeing them early from war bonds if they teach 10 people to read. Military promotions were faster naturally, and those looking to marry none Muslim women if they wanted.
The events of the verse have direct historical context to several peace treaties routinely broken. Not everyone broke those treaties many Jewish and Christian tribes kept their word and they were fine. Many pagan Arabs couldn’t be trusted no further than you could throw them. Just constantly back stabbing when ever they could. Proof of which is what happened to Muhammad grandsons and their families. Proof more is what happened to the 1st 4 leaders once Muhammad pbuh died.
This is why these post fall short and Muslims are better than most at history of all faiths because the culture built in reading more than just a random verse here and there. So many of you have a very limited understanding of your own biblical history and even weaker with Islam
@@vijaymenon5738 Muhammed SAW best friend was Jewish.
There are absolutely no similarities between Christianity and Islam at all. I'm not hating them, but their religion teaches hate and uses it as a weapon against other religions. Wherein Jesus taught about love and respect for others, even to the extent of loving our enemies.
As a Hasidic Jew from Williamsburg Brooklyn we live together i have a lot of Muslim friends thay are wonderful beautiful peaceful respectful people the whole Jewish community love's them.shalom to all my Muslim brothers and sisters
Wonderful program and informative. I used to be a person who did not know Muslims. I made it a point to get acquainted almost two years ago. I found Muslims to be very hospitable, caring and generous. This prompted me to look into the religion. Upon reading some of the Quaran I found so many similarities to Christianity. Even some of the sayings are the same, except they are in Arabic. A most beautiful religion.
@ Pamela Dillon. May Allah guide you to the true path. ALLAH SWT(the God of Abraham, Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Ummat Muhammad (PBUH). Our God, there is no God except Allah. I suggest your contact EPIC channel on youtube for more knowledge. East Plano Islamic Center.
There is no similarties between Islam and Christianity what so ever. You have to be careful who to talk to and interact. They will be nice to you until they recruit you to Jihad. You will hear all good talks, food, nice stuff, until you get into the trap. Just like any gang recruitment.

Even if this segment of Islam isn’t the majority they deserve our respect! They spoke with clarity and wisdom!
Thank you a lot. Much love and respect from a shia muslim here🙏🏻
I feel that Shias being a minority in all muslim countries except Iran and Azerbaijan are somewhat more flexible and open to differences of opinions and beliefs. Of course, this doesn't extend to Shias in Iran where being a strong majority allows them to go down hard on all religious dissenters. Being a majority tends to make bullies of people.
@@sir_humpy coming from a shia muslim, we have a different perspective towards "how islam is applied". We are more tolerant to "non-self" than other sects. Even in iran, were the majority are shia, they are more tolerant and open than people from other sects. And even historically we are different. For example, we do not legitimize any "so-called muslim empire" like ummayids, ottomans etc..", and we condemn every actions they ever made. We were even slaughtered and massacred for the last 14 hundred years, by the sect that has been in control over the muslim world. This and for many other reasons, make us share the feeling of survival with non-muslims.
@@lucifer9880, yep, you make sense. If you'll allow me an ignorant point of view of a person who's never been to Iran, I can't help feeling that strictly from a religious perspective the revolution of '79 was a setback in terms of religious freedoms and liberties.
@@sir_humpy it was indeed a major change in terms of freedoms. However, it is what the majority of Iranians want. I would add that it is more of a system, than it is of a religion when speaking of the Iranian regime. For example, many Iranians want the regime, but wish for it to be more liberal. So its about the regime not the sect itself.
When the media trends want nothing more than to polarize us further, your work unifies us ALL by centering us on the heart of the human experience Peter. Thank you for parting the immense fear that dominates our culture to bring us back in a state of unison. We need your heartfelt work so badly! ♥️🙏🏼

Ask Muslims why there are over 30+ Qur'ans yet they keep babbling on about there being only 1?
Ask when we see the first recorded reference to Mecca outside the Arab world and when does the city first appear on an actual map?
Ask about the lack of Islamic coinage in cities that were supposedly ruled by early "Muslims"?
There was no distinct Muslim identity during the formative years of Islam as we are told today. Most of the history is complete BS, without corroboration and seeks only to promote their false narrative.
Qur'an 2:191-Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them. Qur'an 3:28 Muslims must not take the infidels as friends. Qur'an 3:85- Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable. Qur'an 8:12 Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures Qur'an 8:60- Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels. Qur'an 8:65- The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them. Qur'an 9:5 When opportunity arises, kill the infidelswherever you catch them. Qur'an 9:123- Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood. Qur'an 22:19 Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies. Qur'an 47:4- Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them.
Funny thing is that the muslims are fighting each other in the comments all these comments saying that these are the minority Shia and they’re not muslims and the Sunni are the true muslims lol. It just shows how extremist y’all really are and the lack of respect to other people’s beliefs.
And then try to put on an act to show how peaceful and forgiving y’all are lmao hilarious

@@Tone-Contreras
Brother,
1 - Aisha is the mother of all believers - Shia and Sunni.
2 - No Muslim male could, her being the mother of all Muslims, therefore marry her after the passing of the Prophet (saw). Since when did men marry their mothers?
3 - The title 'mother of the believers' does not therefore, in itself, make her good or bad.
4 - There are mothers who will go to heaven. There are mothers who will go to hell.
5 - Forget what the Shia say or do not say about Aisha. More important is what Allah (swt) says about her and Hafsa: Surah 66, verses 3-5. Direct and scathing criticism of her and Hafsa.
6 - Sunni Islam is imo The Cult of the Companions. But surely even a Sunni will ignore their cult tendencies and give priority to the words of Allah (swt)? Then again, I have yet to meet one such Sunni.
May Allah (swt) guide us all.

Yes but what about those that know that Christ has risen and that he is Lord, how could they ever accept that Islam teaches he’s only a prophet and is buried in the ground somewhere, they lie about the Lord divinity , anyone that openly denies the Lord the Lord will denied him as well. So it’s not necessarily about those who believe in Christ respecting Muslims it’s more Muslim should respect the fact that Christ has risen and christians don’t believe in the last prophet being Muhammad. Some people don’t believe that Islam is an extension of Christianity and that they were going to bring about the real alpha and omega. Christians are waiting for the antichrist to come first and then our Lord will come…
There’s freedom in America, because we have so many people that trust in the Lord. So thanks be to God💯💯💯 there’s a reason why people don’t feel safe in Muslim countries even Muslims don’t feel safe.

Iranian or Shiite Islam is not the true Islam that Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, brought, as it came about 300 years after the death of the Prophet.
A mixture of Persian and Indian fire worship, Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
Basically this world depends on the sanctification of humans and they believe that there are 12 holy Imams
Whoever wants true Islam should return to the Noble Qur’an and the Muhammadan Sunnah before Persian Iran enters Islam and mixes with other ancient religions of the peoples of the region

The oppression of women (strict laws and customs)

As an Eastern European, I can agree with the Imam that in certain parts of Europe it may seem hard to be openly Muslim. For example, I come from Poland, where the general opinion on Muslims is bad and Islam is rather misunderstood. However, most people would be polite if they meet a Muslim or become friends with one, but they would often say something like "you're one of the normal ones", meaning that "if you're my friend, you're fine, but I still don't trust other Muslims". It's very much based on being scared of the unknown, but I think it also comes from the fact that in post-communist countries some older people can still have this idea of distrust towards people, who they don't know personally. Kind of like the tribal, "us and them" mentality. So I believe that younger generations are more tolerant, but in general it might be hard to feel fully accepted in Europe. Interestingly, there are native Muslims in Poland, called Tatars, but even they have experienced islamophobia in the recent years. Someone painted a pig, which is an animal forbidden to eat in Islam, on their very old and beautiful mosque.
That's because Europe have to deal with a lot of religious terrorist attacks and have a constant flow of Arabic Muslims and northern African Muslim immigrants. We also have like they pointed out in this video, the Saudi government funding and opening up new mosque and putting extremist teachers in charge across Europe.
That's because Europe has to deal with a lot of attacks. We also have a constant flow of Arabic and northern Africa Muslim immigrants in to Europe. And like they pointed out in this video Europe also have a problem with the Saudi government funding and opening up their version of mosque all over Europe.
Let's forget all the warfare waged against the poles and claim it's some kind of misunderstanding or being scared of the unknown. What a load of bollocks.
@@shawnm2405 I agree that the war had a huge influence on the mindset, but I wouldn't say all that I wrote is bollocks. You see, it also applies to many young people, who are not exactly directly affected by the war, nor were their parents or even grandparents in a lot of cases. The war also doesn't explain why there's sudden slamophobia towards the Tatars who are completely Polish, and have been in Poland since 1600 or even earlier. And I don't believe that an elderly lady went out there and spray painted a pig on a mosque.
I'm just speaking from my experience and what I hear amongst people in Poland. I see what happens in Polish media and what Polish people protest in the streets. War is not the excuse for being racist and islamophobic.
@@leszydelko you display weakness and make it easier for the poles to be exploited. Why bring war upon the land again? It's disgusting to play with the fate of poles in such a careless and irresponsible manner. In group preference is not evil but rather the way of nature and prevent future conflicts. Only those with malicious intent will tell otherwise and call it "R"
This is my favorite! I learned a lot 🙂
Love your work! Great job. Keep doing!
Thank you for covering a different perspective ❤❤❤
All of the Muslims I encounter in school, community and work are the kindest, most genuine, and normal people I have met. Extremism in any context and culture are indicators of a systemic problem within society (as we have seen here in the US) -- religion, tribalism/politics are sadly often used, or rather abused, and conflated to rally and promote extremist sentiments and does not reflect the actual faith.

In Morocco there is a street in every major city called "Mellah" they're jewish neighbourhoods that existed for a long time in Morocco and Jewish people lived harmoniously with muslims for a long time, they started moving out to Israel afterwards but they still have their culture back home, and their friends and everything.
Lmfao all those saying this video changed their minds about Islam and how it is a peaceful religion.. I invite you to come live in Europe in areas where they make up more than 30% of the population and find out exactly how peaceful and respectful they really are..
Most of those “Muslims” in Europe are not practicing. They come from migrant family Muslim backgrounds. They main reason they flee to Europe bc the West has softer punishments for rape, where Sharia law prescribes a death penalty. That’s like blaming Catholicism for Latinos illegally coming into the US.
I love peter’s videos .. for all the rubbish I watch on CZcams there is always a banger of a video from Peter to dig into with a brew on the sofa
Most americans do not know that Islamic country like pakistan does not even allow non-muslims to fight in elections for prime minister or president. In afghanistan, sikh people are being forced out, America and europe give rights to everyone and islamists misuse these rights, also americans have become over-kind. America could be islamist fundamentalist country like pakistan and afghanistan within 60 to 70 years. Americans need to read and research thoroughly, do not blindly believe what people tell you about their religion. Most people tell only nice things about there comunity and religion and hide the laws of their religion against non-believers.
@@sircc7343 I believe this is why Peter continuously disclaims that all stories he reports on are from the perspective of the people involved and those alone he never claims that what is being said relates to every single person within that faith/culture . He does his best to educate using the resources available to him. He is never going to get it perfect. I appreciate the views and perspectives that he give to us as without those we would be completely blind.
I am a new viewer and have watch almost 20 videos. I love the hindus, Muslims, and as a Christian we all have something in common. Thank you for bringing us all together and have these conversations. The news would have you believe something totally different. Thanks again.
Muslims and Christians yes but May I ask what hinduism has in common?
Not to be disrespectful or anything, but Islam and Christianity have a lot on common but we dont have anything to do with hinduism and we are very different than it.
I'm irreligious. But I would like to greet Muslims, Christians and Jewish all over the world and I'd like to say that God will hopefully bless you all. Not only three of them, but to the adherents of any other religion in the world.
As a Christian, we and Muslims are brothers. We cooperate with each other in everything. They are very generous and kind. I have visited Iraq more than once and found beautiful things in it, especially in Karbala and Najaf. It is wonderful to be a Muslim ❤️❤️

@@vijaymenon5738 you are a Hindu can't understand what is the truth you are being blinded
Correct. Jews/Hebrews and Muslims/Islam are indeed come from the same father, Abraham. Just one was born out of wedlock and the other born within a covenant. Ishmael born from the maidservant, and Issac born from the wife. Ishmael is the people Islam, and Issac, the Hebrews/Jews. Nothing complicated.
The mosque as the Imam first stated was a baptist church, and in fact, my great grandparents had a surprise 50th anniversary in the said church, and upon seeing the prayer room, and the main walk area, I recognized it immediately.
Love the videos Peter 🙏🏻💙
you must visit it one day with your family
i remember when we first emigrated to the u.s around 92', we went to a nearby church, if not this one which gave out assistance to us or toys/both, it's been a long time ago, my point is that christians have historically, since the time of the prophet muhammad sAaw helped muslims greatly and we're really thankful for that. it's also vice-versa. i believe it was an international lutheran organization/church that helped us emigrate to the u.s/ the western world, i remember seeing an old document
@Jay Oh thank you we must show the truth. Don’t let them fool you. Ask them about sharia, jizya(tax on Christians). Who is going to come in the end time Mohammed or Jesus?
@@frankkatsenis3812 I reckon this video was created specially for ignorant non-Muslims like you. Whats is the big fuss it has not been sharia is not being forced upon you, the Jews have their mosaic law from the Old Testament , which is actually more significantly violent that the sharia law. If you took your time to read or converse with Muslims you’d not only know what JIZYA is but it’s purpose. In a land where Sharia Law is implemented, a form of tax is paid by non-Muslims called Jizya (as you know). Interestingly Women whether Christian/Jew, children, elders, disabled, the insane, monks, visitors, poor, military men, or hermits are all EXEMPTED from paying Jizya. The ONLY people that pays are able bodied men. Before you start complaining “oh that’s unfair that non Muslims must pay”, did you know Muslims pay too, it’s called ZAKAT. Zakat is a broad term it doesn’t only refer to 1of 5 pillars of Islam, which is pay 2.5% of annual wage, if there’s an Islamic state muslims MUST also pay a percentage to the government just like the non Muslims (Jizya) as it is a religious obligation unlike Jizya isn’t for the non Muslims, so in order to make it even between both parties non Muslims must pay Jizya just like the Muslims are paying ZAKAT. Both parties must pay not, just 1. If a Muslim refuses they could go to jail. Why do they pay? Just like taxes today the gov uses the money to fund services just like healthcare, or military protection or education. It would be unfair if Muslims are the ones paying and then non Muslims are in Islamic states enjoying the bounties, the Muslims would be at a disadvantage not the non Muslims like you make it seem. The money collected is also used for old age pension, funding for the disabled, and to the very poor to stop them from begging. Plus the Antichrist is called the anti CHRIST not anti MUHAMMED air anti MOSES, there a reason why he has to come not the Prophet Muhammad, in case you didn’t know Muslims believe in Jesus, his second coming and love him more than our parents. You can’t disprove Muhammad in aim that you make Jesus look good, cause we believe in both EQUALLY, you could pull it off with Jews or Hindus cause they don’t believe in Jesus.
The holiest Christian churches in the middle East in Palestine where Jesus preached are still the same. The Christians had the rights to practice their religion for over 1400yrs to now. You would think Muslims oppressed Christians if you watch the media propaganda.

I’m Hindu and my friends are Muslims and Christians; they are good people. You can find good and bad people everywhere you go. Beautiful series! As a person, being humane matter than just being a people.
I suggest you look into the Traditionalist school. There's more to the unity of religions than one would think, up to a transcendent level.
You're no real hindu. A real hindu knows about pakistan and their malicious schemes to take back (parts of) india.
As a muslim all my closet friends are Hindus, never had any issues at all, they respect me and i respect them. Thats how the world should proceed.
There are no good nor bad Muslims. The entire religion is extreme and unsuited to the twenty-first century. In their Koran, Muslims are instructed to act politely when they are the minority, and this is exactly what we observe in this interview. To call it a religion would be a grave understatement. What Islam represents and what everyone needs to know. It is a militia cult philosophy that, to name a few things, encourages bigotry, supremacism, the exploitation of women and children, the restriction of free thought, servitude, and living off of others. Islam's past is marred by violence, extortion, enslavement, conflict, pillage, and devastation, all of which persist today.
@@scr3am273 but it never does.
The day Christians and Muslims stop proselytizing covertly or overtly peace will prevail unless it's just empty words, I hear such good warm felt words only when they are in minority and i am not saying this as any kind of prejudice belief.
Peace can prevail only when the power is balanced and now hindus have no power apart from a demographics by their side.I hope that hindus get their own nation , a hindu rashtra so that they can be safe.

Great video Peter! Dialogue is a critical solution for most of the prejudice and stigma that we oppose on each other, and you're helping to reduce the gap and shed a light on these issues in the US. Salute to you from Saudi.
As Shia Muslim , I respect all people, doesn’t matter what believes they have but if someone who is seeking for truth and ask me for help, I don’t disrespect him by ignoring his question , I’ll say all differences , all the things that doesn’t makes sense from their own books and I will happily answer questions that anyone have about shia Islam, I mean any question, people must be satisfied in their minds and hearts in Oder to accept a religion. The majority of people who accept Islam are becoming Sunni Muslim, because they’re the mainstream, and people watch debates to get their answers. And unfortunately there aren’t many Shia Sunni debates in English. Shia and Sunni have a lot more differences than Islam with Christianity.
Shia always have been peaceful, and always have been massacred , it is absolutely forbidden in Shia believe to establish religious government , America funded Khomeini and still supporting the so called Shia Iranian regime. Watch the Lady of heaven to understand Shia Islam, Shia have nothing to do with all the bloodshed in Islamic history, prophet Mohammad (PBUH) was not a warlord, everything happened after he was killed by those who Sunnis praise till this day. And all the bloodshed has done by those that sunnis love and praise.

Quran (9:29): “Fight against Christians and Jews until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.”
Quran (5:51): “Don’t take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.”
Quran (2:65-66): “Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.”
Quran (5:51): “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”
Quran (9:30): "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"
This series is awesome!
Interesting video!
He is correct about England and Europeans compared to Middle Easterners ..The English believe what their press feeds them and have always been very close minded as opposed to most Middle Easterners who are eager to see the good and are givers ..Great observation Peter ..
Once again @PeterSantenello thank you for this series. Stay Humble Keep Grinding Your Brother In The Struggle... Ma Salam
I absolutely love this video. In fact all your videos are good and somehow I feel like u are bringing all humans together no matter what race, colour or religion. Thank you Peter for been so respectful towards everyone. God bless you.
I love your videos. I live in CT and in my town we have many variations of Muslim. We live a half hour from holy land usa which has a mosque and a large populating of hasidics. I feel fortunate for my children that this as their normal. They have friends who invite them over and they are eating falafel or samosas. I teach my Christmas shopping unit as any holiday you celebrate and the class will start telling me about what they do and it's great.
Impressed by the younger imam's calm and articulate demeanor. I hope to visit Dearborn one day and see for myself how my brethren in the USA live
I just wanted to say that I'm a resident of this community and a fortunate one, really! The younger Imam is a great role model and respected leader in our community. During the Islamic holidays and events, he holds daily lectures and makes sure to always be a part of the community. I can speak for my entire community when I say that comments like yours make us very happy! We love to see that people want to come and explore our beautiful and diverse community. I hope, if you have yet to vist, that you will soon! God bless you!
