ABOUT ME:
Hello and welcome! I'm a Sociologist at the University of Warwick, UK where I explore social issues and find ways for people to resist, heal and flourish.
My publications and other creative projects are on my website williambarylo.com . To get in touch, email me at hello@williambarylo.com
This channel will NOT be monetized so:
1. I can have creative freedom and
2. Offer ad-free videos to my viewers.
Anticipating the wave of hate coming from people who, for many, haven't watched the video, I am leaving the comments open. Hate comments are always welcomed (and never censored) as they boost the engagement rates of this channel like crazy. It makes me sad to say this, but by experience, a lot will come from some Muslims who, by their comments, will give others many more reasons to stay away from Islam. There might be some random nationalist trolls here and there as usual, but I just wish the internet could be a place for constructive discussions rather than a giant MMA ring. Give me hope people!
I don't think people will have any hate comments on this. You've not said anything controversial.
Why not name those making a living being an Ex-Muslim? I hear the critique that many are. Sorry to hear you were abused in your first marriage.
@undercoverangel1410 Any academic and professional would and should cite sources. Otherwise, it is just unsubstantiated opinion and reckless. In the case of Ex-Muslims, it is an oft made accusation to try to slander and detract from their message and character. Given that Muslims are subjected to all kinds of innuendo, slander, and prejudice, I would have hoped that would not have happened. It detracts from the compassion and empathy that Mr. Barylo is trying to convey to the audience of the video. But honestly, if someone made the claim, "1% of Muslims are engaged in (X negative behavior)" that would be right challenged and proof of that behavior would be owed.
Assalam o Alaikum brother! It was a much-needed video. I also sympathize with those who leave islam due to bad behaviour of Muslims. I also want to share my journey briefly. My parents are traditionalists who follow cherry-picked stuff from religion. I was doing all fard, sunnah and nawafil worship. However, I also justified for myself the habit of watching bad stuff on screens. But when i learnt that these sins are wasting all of my worship, I became suicidal. I suffered from withdrawal of bad screen addiction. When i met arguments against Islam, i doubted my faith. However, Quran answered lot of my questions and then i started to study about my deen. I'm still on my journey.
That's a superbrain preemptive move there brother 😬, causing otherwise reflexive kneejerk folks to self reflect and not just be jerks.
I have to say though that from what I've seen in your other videos, your commentators are noticeably more empathetically thoughtful, self-aware and less obnoxiously belligerent than those on other videos about Islam. I wonder if it is due to how well you embody the sociological spirit of academic impartiality while still retaining your warm humanity that your audience also subconsciously strive to emulate this as well 👍
Actually they leave islam because they wanna follow their desire
Nooo
Ignorance and desire
sure, my desire to not be aligned with islam.
@@harry.flashman do you like drink alcohol?
@@That_dawg420 my father was a drinker and communist. so i became a muslim aged 16 and never drank alcohol until i was 30.
today i am a wine maker, its my job. i work at the biggest vineyard in UK.
where there are vineyards means there is civillisation. you probably wont understand.
if you belive in islam then there will be wine and sex in your jennah.
why do you want this arab jennah with alcohol and fornication ?
I'm an Ex-Athiest. Converted to Islam at the age of 16. Alhamdulillah❤❤
Blessing❤️
Same here😂 I am ex x muslim 😂
@@firojakhtar4419you gotta be kidding me but i'm glad 😂
Allahu I hadi ma Iahshaa - Allah azza wa Jal guides whom He wants ...
BismIillah. So I converted 6 years ago and have some very bad experiences with other muslims for a certain period early into my conversion. Did i doubt if i made the right choice, yes i did. My imaan was very low for about a year due to this but Alhamdulillah i stuck with it and actually got a lot closer to Allah 'azza wa jal from this in the end.
I focused on the religion instead of the people, i sought knowledge myself and my isolation became a joy because in those moments all I had was Allah 'azza wa jal and what a great blessing that was. I now feel like a part of the muslim community and mix with my fellow muslims, knowing how to discern the ignorant ones from sincere muslims.
To anyone who has a similiar struggle, just know that there's nothing wrong with praying at the masjid, giving salams and leaving. Spend that time learning more about Allah subhana wa ta'ala and getting closer to him with dhikr, fasting, and sadaqa. Soon opinions of others will be of little concern and ironically this is the point when I actually started meeting some great friends and things improved. Remember, people are a test for you also.
May Allah subhana wa ta'ala guide us and give us istiqamah. Amiin.

I grew up as a Hispanic Catholic and I had an open mind.
I would question myself and ask if there was a God
I would even ask myself if the real God was of the Bible, what if the real God was from a different religion.
But the studies on the NDEs really showed me who the real God is

Very hopeful journey!
This the right decision- to focus not on what people do but what the Quran says. I fell in that trap too but not anymore. At the end of the day no Muslim is perfect. I know some women who wear hidjab but do not pray and don’t know how pray.
Islam is perfect Muslims are not the vast majority’s of ex Muslims leave Islam out of dealing with bad Muslims lack of knowledge of Islam & following their whims and desires remember whoever wills let them believe & whoever disbelieve let them disbelieve remember whatever you choose do you will be held accountable the choice is yours
Beautiful message and a reminder that yes ppl are themselves a test.
A small important piece o information , hidaya is from allah you cant convince someone to believe in islam .
Allah the fake id of Mohammed

My hobby is debate,i am doing debate with jews hindu Christian atheists from 10 years.my Experience says they all are united against islam.and ex muslim are most stupid ignorant among them,they have lack of knowledge and they are not practical, they are deceived by christian and hindu,and main enemy of muslim are zionist,they fund and create evil propaganda against muslim and innocent Christian and hindu fall in them,ex muslims are jokers, they hurt us because they were muslim but fail to understand islam from quran or from islamic websites those already given answers of critical question,,and last 80% ex muslim id and channel are not read,they are conduct by Christian and hindu,they hate islam too much so they do evil things for make fool to muslim those are innocent and not have enough knowledge about islam ,
i was not muslim i was a white boy in the suburbs, and i got bullied by the same kids that looked like me. It's not about any religion. it's about generational trauma. people are also stupid. That's why we need to read and learn. they found a blockage, or trial
and it was the test they needed to overcome.The are muslims then there is Islam. also alot of Muslim in the west are from colonialized countries. so there is way more going on than just your own journey.
To be fair, i had similar western propaganda about islam in my head. but then i started learning myself, and to be patient, anything i know, i know is not enough. God is All knowing.
And im only one person. ther is a sadness i feel when people are so mean to another.
Gay muhammad love white boy lol
Who gave you that namr?
@@That_dawg420 when people reverted at the masjid i go to, they were told they can change their name, even to me. idk if they mean as a nickname or officially. but i have heard a few change their names, again idk if nickname or officially.
@@yengthao8594 are you from japan?
i dont want to slap race and religion into the topic either, but when i was in grade 1 and 2, i was bullied at recess every day by some white christian brothers. they always wore a cross necklace. idk if they were rich kids, but the always came in like a well dressed suit like attire lol, and those leather classy shoes. they would always just kick my shin/legs with those shoes, and just point and laugh at me. i told teachers, and the teacher told them to stop and apologize, but like that didnt stop anything, once the teacher left. luckily they changed schools, because my complaints to my relatives at school, they were going to beat em up too 😳 i had like 6 cousins, and 3 brothers at the school with me, but they were in the higher grades so they didnt go to recess same time as me
Hello William!
I'm an Ex-Athiest. I converted to Islam at the age of 16.Alhamdulillah for the religion of Islam❤❤
At the end of it all, it is only Allah who can guide anyone to Islam.
If you want to find the answers, Allah will guide you to them one at a time.

@@ironfro5683 so which is it brother, is it allahs will or human free will. Im a convert but this is the contradiction that makes people to leave religion
@@eletralad Allah guided us, but it is up to us to walk the Path. Moreover, it is after being guided that we start to face hard tests. The tests are supposed to turn us to Allah and ask Him for direction. Thats is how we can grow in faith. Without tests, then our faith doesnt have much room for growth. I hope this helps. As long as you ask Allah for guidance and you exercise patience, He will always guide you
very well put together Professor. As a devout Muslim i would really recommend this to all family and friends.

Every single one of their arguments against Islam are emotional arguments.
@@ServantoftheMostMerciful_99 it's the easiest and also the lazy way to a "solution". Reflecting and learning takes more effort.
But I think THE problem is lack of sincerity and gratitude. And rebelliousness. Man is ever rebellious.
And for sure the worst act of rebelliousness is shirk. Falling right into the hands of the Shayateen...
And Allah won't change our condition until we've changed what's within.
Best to ask Allah for ikhlas all the time 🤲🏼
The professor literally said some of the objections are logical and even showed video clips of them and yet you still chose dishonesty.
@@alcubz2622 Salaam Alaykum, one doesn't negate the other. And she/he is right, there's also the emotional element, doesn't mean the speaker is wrong.
Stop au linear and limited thinking, everything is multifaceted, no?
@@wuw385 No, contradictory statements cannot be both true at the same time.
@@alcubz2622 what's contradictory about being both emotional and having good reason..? I'm not understanding you I think 🤔
Where has she (in the first seconds of the video) in the Quran or in the Sunna that Islam tells people to kill innocent people ?
prolly a fake ex muslim or she got deceived by liars may الله guide them and us
You are absolutely right. Her video sounded crazy..
The Quran never tells us to kill innocent people...but in the Bible..there is orede to kill children woman man donkey and tree.... that's Christianity
Your kidding right? The Hadiths are full of violence that include killing the Christians and the Jews.
In the Qur-dias(Quran from medias)..
I'd left islam long long time ago if my faith is only based on how other muslim act. 😂
Same here
Same i would have left too if that was the case.
Same. I'm always stunned when people say their father was an abusive imam that is why they left Islam. Honestly I have gone through abuses within Muslim friends and family and I know that it is not Islam that is the problem but they are the problem.
Alhamdulilah it is not by my power.
@@kikibyde so slavery, stoning women and killing polythiests is fine for you?
Same. I deeply had a thought about this. Even satan won the battles of this earth when Everyone was disbelieving allah 😂 wasn’t it difficult even for him? Yet he never stopped beliving, how can i lose to him? 😜
The fact that a lot of ex muslims left islam because of how muslims treated them is sad. I hope that muslims take this in consideration because we are the ones who represent our religion to the world.
I believe the discrimination that pushed them away was more of ethnic culture and not Islam
@rimpong9101 so Islam is not divine because it's rules easily influence by humans culture that is not right
@fatemad4012 most serial killers are Christians, does that mean Christianity leads people to commit murder?
This goes to say that, judge humans by their actions not the religion we follow
Islam is perfect, Muslims are not

Why don't we here people say they are no longer Americans because Americans treated them bad?
This is probably the most fair and objective evaluation I’ve seen so far of ex muslims. The one thing I find funny still, is why do they still identify themselves as “ex muslim?” Why not just athiest or Christian or whatever they chose to believe in?
That in itself cements the theory that it was trauma that caused it and not an actual objective decision to not believe or follow a system that they were not convinced by.
That’s like always identifying yourself as the ex boyfriend!!
Not everyone identifies as ex-Muslim and some don't care about labels. The label took prominence after the Iranian revolution and 9/11 as a honour badge praised by the media
@@williambarylo I can believe that. Anybody who says something bad about Islam is given a pedestal to beacon his message to the world. Case in point, Salman Rushdi, who only became famous because of Imam Khumeni’s fatwa. Otherwise his book was complete crap. I read it. It doesn’t even qualify as an insult.
Islam came to free humanity from the enslavement of their egos .Most people find it very hard to bow down 5 times a day because of their egos ,because the ego does not want to submit itself to Allah(it has to be conditioned) .Taking the easy way out is not the answer.Allah says in the Quran after every difficulty there is relief .
It failed then. Because the most egocentric men can be found in the Muslim World.
Again, those are people, not the religion...there are also KKK and thats not christianity.@@user-jt8vj1vm6y
@@PureExistence1 Your argument is like saying that a drug works but don't look at the people who are taking it, who are on average not better but worse than the ones not taking it.
At some point, if you claim that something works you have to show the results, with real statistics in the treatment group and the non-treatment group.
@@PureExistence1 (part 2) on average Muslim men have the most inflated egos of all. ask women.
A woman who rejects a non-Muslim man takes a much lower risk than if she rejects a Muslim man. His over-inflated ego will likely make him very angry and agressive, and even dangerous. Stories like that from Muslim men are millions. But of course they also exist among non-Muslims. My point is that we don't see any positive result from islam on this issue.
@@user-jt8vj1vm6y. How does islam work in the world today???? Womens feel it is a faith belief to cloth from top to bottom?? Freedom?? Apostates fear for their life when they leave the faith? Freedom???? There is no denying of the ego in islam that I can see. It is the collective mentality of “ we are right” and “ others are wrong” . That is not denial of the ego, but strengthening the collective ego.
People who leave islam, are those who hitch hiked into islam and found they don't know the direction in which to go ,so they jump out while the vehicle is still running on the road , but take for example the person who since birth was born into islam will never leave the religion because its engraved into their soul. Its like being born on a farm ,you grow up knowing all the farm details, but starting a farm when you are in your fifties will be a daily stressful struggle.
muslim from birth would never leave islam? are you sure about that??

I actually saw a billion dollar industry article of promoting x-muzlims. Mostly are paid though
Brother William, this video was much needed. Thank you for raising this issue. I have been feeling this for a long time that these online debates aren't really solving any problem. In fact, the way they are conducted they only create more divisions. You addressed this issue in a really mature way. At the same time, I would like to mention that being an ex-Muslim has become a niche that really pays well. I can understand that many of these ex-Muslims might have been actually abused, but is it fair to demonize a whole community based on their own experience? Anyway, you are doing a great job and keep up the good work. Looking forward to more such informative content.
I'm an ordinary ex-Muslim, not making any profit from it, and actually I despise people like AP who use the ex-Muslim label to be invited in muslim-hating far right media in the west.

@@williambarylo Thank you for replying and yes I was talking about the social media celebrities only. I hardly see any ex-Christian, Hindu, Buddhist etc. trying to build a career out of their former faith but there is a deluge of these ex-Muslims on social media. That's the difference.
Emotions, Emotions, emotions, none presented a logical argument why they left.
For example: you left because non-believers go to hell and converted to Christianity, which technically now you believe Muslims and non-Christian are going to hell? What kind of logic is that?

I went to Pakistan to visit my husband family and I was the only one who prayed in time 5 times except an elderly mother in law. Once I went to my husband’s friends house on Ramadan and nobody fasted except me. Long story shot , stereotypes work , I was thinking Pakistanis are very religious and following at least the obligatory tradition as praying and fasting. I don’t know where they meet all these Muslims who are strict followers.
Yes, In so-called "Muslim" countries, not many actually practice the ritual aspects or even believe yet many outsiders portray these countries to be "Islamic"!
I struggled with my faith because the overwhelming futility I feel. My family didn't convert with me, just me. I live nowhere near a masjid, and the one time I wore my hijab for a week, people driving past me would throw things at me. It all just wore me down. I still pray (fully covered awrah) in my house, and I fast for Ramadan and 'Arafa, but that's all.
edit: Thank you all so much for the support and kind words. Allahumma barik 🙏
Dont worry sister...May Allah ease your struggle..
It's a huge struggle to journey on our own with no support. However, like many things in life, it's temporary. Sometimes it takes just meeting one person, travelling to a different place or exploring a different online space to change everything
Alhamdulillah, you’re doing great sister. May Allah reward and strengthen you for your struggle to please Him. May He also improve your situation and surround you with a supportive community.
keep going!-may الله make it easy for you-may the effort you continue to make reap deep and beautiful rewards-both hidden and manifest. have you come across the work of dr tamara gray or her organisation rabata? rabata is growing capacity for muslim women-with a special interest in converts (dr gray herself is a convert)-to access support and education online-worldwide.
You're admirable, I wish you knew how much even this one comment will help so many others ❤️
These people want to satisfy their own desires. A lot of what you’re saying is not Islam, but the people like any other faith. Mankind is created for a reason like anything that is manufactured by a manufacturer. So if that product doesn’t work as expected the manufacturer will recall it, replace it or destroy it. Because Allah doesn’t need us to exist and can replace any creation. And Islam talks of accountability for what ever we have done. For those talking about predestination, Allah knows the past, present and future. Some of these people will never believe whatever it takes, because Allah said it in the Quran.

As Salamualaikum to people of Islam, of knowledge and truth.
I just want to add my 2 cents to the “ex muslim” rhetoric. My research has shown me, that the so called ex muslims, were never religious in the first place. From most ex muslims I have spoken to, they were from a liberal or background and were never taught the Quran from a young age. They hardly attended the Mosque and majority were Muslim by name only. Some concepts of ritual bath went over their head and they couldn’t recite a single Surah properly.
No it's opposite they read Quran well and went masjid often they are most knowledgeable about Hadith and suras you can exactly question them but most devouted ordinary Muslim have less knowledge about their religion

@@fatemad4012 maybe the ones you met were “scholars?” because most of the ex muslims can’t even read properly. so your statement isn’t true for all. most youtube videos are proof of this, when they can’t even pronounce a word properly. also there are a lot of people who confused Islam with culture and decided to leave.
That's very possible. However, many others (I'm talking from a European perspective), also sometimes dive deep into the religion before leaving (see the research references in the description)
@@williambarylo The ones who dive deep in to the religion, usually do so only at a later stage in their life. For example, as children they were never taught the Quran, nor was Islam a priority. suddenly when they reach a particular age in adulthood, they read the Quran and Hadith without context, by themselves, and without a guide or teacher resulting in them then making their own ill conceived judgement.
By then they have already made their mind up and have a certain bias towards the religion, based on their peers perception of Islam, and popular opinion, media representation etc.
As children they were never taught the basics even, and if some were, it was few and far between. the key issue here is lack of formative understanding, as well as confusion with cultural practises, which then informs their decision making. In Asia, especially in the subcontinent for example, divorce is seen as sin, as per their cultural traditions, but in Islam it’s acceptable if there is violation of Islamic creed. Ppl there mostly don’t know this, so women are made to stay in an abusive and un-islamic relationship. Eventually, some of the women leave Islam. Some ppl do so when they have already made their mind up about Islam from the formative years. The scholars who have left Islam, are maybe one or two and ALLAH knows best.
Just watched it and i pretty much agree with you. The fact that you took a neutral stance in this, makes it more understanding in their point of view without any biases. Understanding someone is the most important thing before doing anything else.
We are supposed to transmit message of Islam, the rest depends on the person whether they find it makes sense to them or not.
I wish Muslims were better at treating these people (not all Muslims are bad before someone calls me out.), i am pretty sure most of them would have sticked with Islam, if they didn't face toxicity. Seen one example by myself how a born Muslim left Islam because of toxic environment of Muslims.
Also unrelated but i really hope i see a day where someone i care for the most embraces Islam by their choice after i transmit the message. Even though i am preparing mentally for any possible outcome.
Huge props to you for sticking with Islam despite all these misadventures you faced from these Muslims.
Exactly.
Blame Imam Al Ghazali for the default toxic behavior they secrete everywhere.
His teachings must be scrapped.

Thank you. All we can do is to plant seeds, whatever grows from it is not in our hands!
Mostly Emotional
Which is often coming from a deeper rational reason. Because execution, conquest, etc is wrong.
@@DarthMarr2009which execution? And i agree about the conquests that happened after the prophets death. If people gad followed the correct leaders that wouldnt have happened.
@@PureExistence1 Of apostates, boys who hit puberty during wartime etc. Nabi asli made a great video adaptation of the banu qurayza campaign. Also, its misleading william says islam is growing by conversion so much, when it is mostly due to fertility rate. Same reason why Judaism is growing so fast relative to other religions in the levant, conversion is small. Even those who convert to islam in the west, often leave after a few years.
@@DarthMarr2009 Islam is the leading religion in terms of conversion according to pew research. This is readily accessible if you just look it up. Your claim about those who convert to Islam in the west is unsubstantiated, but also irrelevant since most conversions to Islam are in sub-saharan Africa. An example is Rwanda, which had very little muslims before genocide, but people were so inspired by how mosques were sheltering victims - in contrast to the church leaders who were aiding and abetting a genocide.
@@AJ-pc9gu Yeah, it is growing via conversion, but the same study ignores later responses of people who often leave which skews the results. Christianity is growing in many shia strongholds like iran, and religiosity decreasing in places like saudi and uae even. Also the rise of judaism in the middle east is pretty strong due to exploding population (very little due to conversion, only a handful of arab israelis or palestinians convert)
Oh boy ... it seems we are now witnessing the wave of those who enter islam fast for the trend and are now leaving again for the trend.
I went through the same period, and believe me, I guarantee you, almost MOST of them are "ANGRY WITH GOD." That's what youc an easily hear in between their words. Very few of them are genuinely "leaving islam," especially those who now believe in "god in the flesh." I chuckle every time I come across one of those.
Also… being ex muslim is good for business.

If you have problem with a muslim, don't blame islam.
This life is a test. Whether you want to stay muslim or leave islam, just know that, you are accountable for your actions and you will be judged on judgement day. And you cannot run away from it. You will know soon enough.

Some people have a hard time making the difference
Liberalism, secularism are big threats to all religions today. The decline of the importance of religion, the decline of religious practices is due to them. Among the major religions, Islam is the only one that has survived well in this era, however, according to the accounts of the past, a lot of Apostate Islam has also been seen.
It’s not just liberalism and secularism it’s also bullying from socially conservative Muslims who impose their social conservatism on Islam
Nope, this islam was enforced in 9th century. First generation Muslims were actually both liberal and secular since Quran without hadiths is about universalism. The 9th century islam cracked the caliphate and started the decline of muslims.
Liberal secularism is a religion itself.

Perhaps the most honest take on exmuslims I've ever seen from a Muslim, ever. I admire that so much.. You're great
Commenting for the algo, keep it going Dr. You're doing a great job.
Thank you!
I am not well right now so I have no energy for all that I want to say here. I have been through abuse right into adult life. And I wasn't helped as a child and didn't even realize I suffered from CPTSD and extreme anxiety etc etc. I wish I had the strength right now but I will say I understand the anger frustrations and confusions of Muslims struggling. But when you really focus on the rules of Allah and how they benefit us then you realize it can't possibly be a wrong thing. People need to learnt he difference between actual Islam, what Muslims do and their own desires and struggles. I still have issues but only with my mental health but I get closer and closer to Allah as I try to understand Allah's rules even more. I used to have nightmares very regularly but, since I have been reciting Ayat Ul Kursi, last 2 verses of Surah Bakrah, and 4 Qul's and tasbee, Nightmares reduced significantly. Basically they stopped and only appear now and then if I am really stressed. But they are so rare now. Before in my nightmares I would be running from bad stuff. I got to a point Alhamdolillah where I found myself reciting Ayat Ul Kursi in my dream and chasing the bad stuff away. Also, I noticed that msot of my life though I would apologize to Allah for any wrong doings, it wasn't till I became more grateful and thanked Allah for blessings that I started noticed more blessings from Allah. Life health improving etc Alhamdolillah. And it's true what Doctor said here when you suffer from PTSD etc you do tend to avoid any place or anything related to the abusive situations. Bu tthat's where we need to learn the difference between their problems and sins and actual Islam and then your own struggles. People jumble it all into one and aren't honest with themselves. Islam is the best way of life people I promise you. I still ahve a lot to work on but there is one thing I know I can trust is trusting in Allah and nothing else matters really. May Allah protect us all from evil whisperings and wrong doings of other humans as well ameen.

10:38 you raised an excellent point here professor. Islam is mercy, and without that mercy the deeper inner connections with others are gone i.e one can be very best at following rules but lack the deeper spiritual insight of islam and that is why they treat others with the stringents rules that they follow. This is what you experienced. This what you were affraid of that MUSLIMS will judge you on when you uploaded the video and therefore your comment.

I think that it is vital to analyze a persons situation, before passing any judgement. Some ex-muslims were born in a very strong muslim household, but because of their strict upbringing they severed ties with their religion.
And there are other factors that play a role aswell.
Our behavior is lacking.
BTW, why are almost all who are on the fence or have left Islam, liberal? I have a fascist background and found the controversial aspects (war & slavery) to be somewhat digestable even early on, it must be daunting for those with a liberal background, if they enter such subjects with low imaan.

Brother William, have you read the book "Islam, Authoritarianism, and Underdevelopment" by Ahmet T. Kuru? If not please do, it's a fascinating read. I think you are doing a kind of scholarship, the lack of which in Islamic tradition, is partially explained in this book.
(This comment has little to do with this video, it's just a way to chat with you, if that's alright.)
you can't dissociate islam from authoritarianism, sadly. The god of the quran is an authoritarian, and the more people believe in the quran the more they become authoritarian.
@@user-jt8vj1vm6ybecause Allah created us, «He» tells you right from wrong. Good and bad is objective not subjective.
If you don’t believe in a creator fair enough but words should be used precisely not just because it sounds or makes sense. Viewing a human as authoritarian and the creator as an authoritarian means they are doing something comparable.
However as Allah is the creator and “nothing is like unto him” this word has to used with nuance. While human to human is different

Also, the problem you’d typically have with authoritarianism is human fallibility, and thereby eventual havoc- among other problems; none of which would be a problem vis-à-vis an omniscient and perfectly omnipotent being, so I’m not sure how “authoritarianism” would even be a critique- by _any_ measure.

Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood. So whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing hand-hold. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. Quran 2:256
A very important subject Brother, spot on 💯 , keep it up wish you all the best ❤
Salam Brothers and sisters there’s Muslims and Islam two different things , but due to our background and history of our countries. people attempt to believe (converts \ reverts ) that they’re are being attacked or bullied. If you convert to Islam today and they ask you or trying to find you a husband nor a wife it’s because in Islam they believe marriage is a way to creat a good life for both you husband and children but due to our “background “ as westerners we feel like we’re being attacked because we believe in 50/50 and before all that we need to have some sort of dating stage to get to marriage but than we forget that dating lead up to lasciviousness and fornication, so in Islam that’s one of the biggest sin. what it does is they tried to prevent any situations women and men. And yes we’re all have trauma and so on , ofc that person might be a “Muslim “ but don’t act according to the book. Like our brother said they’re only Muslim by name. And it’s fine we’re all here to become the best version of us. Just remember even though they’re claim to be following “Islam “ they not perfect in terms of practicing acting the religion. And it’s maybe that the test that God put you through to see If you’re really submitting yourself to him but testing your faith. I don’t see why he should wait. Even myself as a men who was born into t religion I still try to seek acknowledge as I’m progressing through life. I have faced racism and so on from Muslims that are from a different countries but never got to me question the Lord. all I did was distinguish Islam and a Muslim.
When 9/11 happened, at the time a Muslim friend of mine said it might be allowed in Islam. I had a fit and very forcefully disagreed. I concluded that my friend had swallowed, hook, line and sinker, whatever theories and justifications my friend was listening to. This was decades ago and now my friend might think differently, though I have never asked.
I think it’s understandable to leave a faith when that faith has too many unresolved contradictions and or unanswered questions, and or the person has painful/bad experiences at the hands of other members of that faith. I also understand the appeal of turning to another faith when people of the new faith show kindness, mercy and acceptance. We all want to belong to a group of people who feel the same way we do.
How many 9/11 did US brought to the Muslims since then? I'll have you know the US might not be as good as it makes itself out to be.
@@ryuzaki5491 I don’t disagree with you. Pre and post 9/11 millions of non-Muslims and Muslims have been unalived due to American foreign policy.
9/11 was not allowed, because it was a *sucidial* attack where the attackers killed themselves by themselves, which is haram in quran and is punishable by hell

yea there are people who have toxic agenda and bad intentions ,,, and there are who went through a physical abuse and trauma and left the faith ,,, we should be able to see the difference and respect the choices of people as long as they don't want to harm you
Problem is abused ones doesn't get popular. Because abused ones generaly stay silent or don't show an agressive personality against faiths. Like Apus (apostate prophet) is wanted in Turkey because he supported PKK. That is why he is hated both of atheists and muslims of Turkey. But he says it was done because Turkey is geting rulled by sharia.

@@TP_ERK turkey isn't ruled by sharia, it's a secular country a Muslim women who wear Hijab are often attacked in the street by secular people.
My experience with muslims is bad but i just stopped beliving in g-d because of other reasons. Thankfully my entire experience was anti-islamic yet i became a muslim. I would've been a secular feminist yet allah guided me only when i stopped myself being too emotional.

I thank Allah for guiding me and protecting me from these. Before i was practicing, i was free thinker until they speak bad of islam and Rasulullah. That's where i found something that I've been missing
Islam is against all basically human desires for example: sex before marriage, drinking alcohol, taking interest and many more. Islam is the first religion that talked about women rights and established them. Islam found the first university. Islam kick started modern science. Tf are these people talking about? Don't just blame a whole religion for the sake of your own desires and sins.

Dear Mr. William Barlow , do you agree with Islamic Apostacy laws ?
There is no apostasy and blasphemy in the Quran it comes from false Hadiths even though there are other Hadiths who like Quran reject apostasy and blasphemy but socially conservative Muslims and politicians created these Hadiths to silence other Muslims in fact this is how rationalist Muslim schools who was predominant first several centuries of Islam were destroyed by the traditionalist with the support of the state
These Apostasy laws are enacted by countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa and have no basis in Islam - but people like to distort the texts for social control. Just like women forbidden to drive in Saudi Arabia until recently for "religious" reasons. There are no "Islamic" countries nowadays.
Why is it so dangerous to leave Islam?
Because in the Quran it's allowed you to be killed if you leave Islam
It isn't. The apostasy thing you're thinking about was only in war due to traitors. In 2024, it isn't the same.
In some societies, it's a social status thing, often tied to national identity. Leaving openly would attract shame on the individual and the whole family, and some people are willing to do anything to hide or avoid that.
Which Muslim approach to Islam did they leave (Sunni, Shia, Sufi, Quraniyya etc.)?
I think there might be many. I've met people who have been journeying through all possible approaches and then leave.
Nice video may Allah bless you, Also just wanted to add everyone's different and process ideas differently mainly because everyone is controlled by what their entertainment, information, idea and so on and so forth source says and is, But it's about how open minded and open hearted that person is and at the end hidaya(guidance)comes from Allah we simply connote in any shape or form force religion as its against the what our religion teach us.

Thanks for the balanced, unobtrusive, and (I dare to use the word) wise representation. Indeed, Dr. Barylo (the author) articulates-on the example of ex-Muslims- frameworks of thoughts and behaviors that we should be aware of or try to acquire to ensure a fruitful dialog between religions and beyond, if necessary. Sadly, most of the time, (inter-)religious debates-especially if Islam is involved- get stuck in intense hostility and harsh prejudices engrained in the Collective Unconscious and constantly re-enforced by the information flow in which Westerners bathe. It seems that the time of the Crusaders is not yet over. Fortunately, there are voices - like this channel - that attempt to improve the “boundary conditions” helping us across the borders.

Hey brother! I highly suggest you take a look at alternative ex-muslim voices such as Apostate Aladdin. He is very critical of the most vocal voices in the space. I'm an apostate myself (and haven't replaced my faith in Allah with another one) and have always been uneasy with the way some ex-muslim influencers have islamophobe undertones in their content (if not straight up islamophobic).
Apostate Aladdin is a very interesting person that has an empathy first approach and he's always open to talk. I'm pretty sure you two talking would make for a very interesting conversation.

Hi! I don't know if I qualify as an ex muslim; I was raised in a Muslim family in a Muslim country and still live there. Islam was forced down my throat as a child. I've always had doubts about it though and never really felt that I was in a relationship with the devine through it. I tried but agnostic atheism seemed and still seems more compelling.
Besides that I have always had a beef with ideologies that seek to recruit more people into their ranks and then boast about their superior statistics over others.
All in all, for me religions are a political tool of mass control that don't encourage critical thinking in their followers. As a believer, you're supposed to follow texts without questioning their authenticity and their usefulness to your growth. If you dare to doubt them, you're subjected to extreme punishments that could include death.
I discovered your channel recently and I appreciate your efforts. It's really refreshing to see religious Muslim channels who don't seek to dehumanize 'ex' muslims.

I worry because I care about my friends who have been treated unjustly.
I think there are different reasons. I knew a guy who left Islam because an organization promised him a job and visa sponsorship for doing so. He was not religious at all to begin with, so much so that I doubt he even knew how to pray. Nevertheless, it was quite surprising for me because that was not a small thing even for a barely practising Muslim like him. Perhaps he was under a lot of pressure and got exploited by that organization in the moment of weakness. I wish he finds his way back to Islam.
I can empathise with this guy. For many people, they ask themselves "what's the point of following Islam if Muslims treat me badly"?
Being muslim is to submit to the will of God, not to anyone. Once you understand that, then also know that people come in different shapes colors and sizes in all behaviours even your parents act differently so every religion have bad representatives but did you revert to Islam because of people or you research about it and you feel this is the one true religion you have to put in the work to know Islam is a journey with many hurdles and tests and the ultimate goal is to understand that between you and your God there is no intermediary you worship him HE Alone ..and AllAH alone will guide you when you ask for his Help..But if you revert to Islam because of people then most likely you will leave you have to understand your relationship with the one true GOD and have the sincerity in your heart and Allah will guide you...and even to us being brought up as muslims wallahi its a journey when i read more about Islam as i grow older the sweetness of the Iman and the religion islam is beautiful just have that sincerity in your heart and. Ask Allah for guidance and you shall receive it and no mediator please it is Allah alone can guide you and put your trust in him...may Allah make it easy for us may we all unite in Aljannatul firdaus Ameen.
People leaving islam and link it to a trauma. The fact is if you have good understanding of islam you won't link it a trauma. You have to understand religion is not a property of individuals its a divine law, whether you accept or not. Some ex muslims they were not even Muslim in the beginning like Nabeel others. I know them right from their high school times.

I think that's an ideal scenario. Many people treated badly by other Muslims struggle to make the difference between Islam and Muslims, and perhaps don't have time and capacity to research deep into the faith.
The root of the issue here is the abolishment of the Caliphate. Ever since the fall of the Ottomans, many versions and view points of Islam emerged. From the extreme to the liberal. You see, the Caliphate acts as the global standards. What is accepted in Islam is taken in and what is not is rejected. The problem today is that we don't have that single, centralized authority to enforce upon you on how you should act as a Muslim. For example, kindness towards animals. That is rooted in the Ottoman Empire and is pretty much a legacy in the Turkish people today. Today people are following Islam but many are interpreting it in a way that fits their desires, regardless whether you are a Muslim or ex Muslim. Sometimes it comes to a point that God don't meant it that way but you insist that that is what God is saying, when in fact it was just your desires. I have observed this in many Muslims, regardless of spectrum. Even for ISIS, they just pluck whatever they wish that fits their nafs. Same goes to the liberals. They all do the same thing.
Some people gas light religion as cause of everything thats wrong and horrible.
It's been the same with culture, philosophy, video games etc.
I read ayaan ali hesis book infidel because she has always been touted as such an intellectual and i was expecting to see some real 'debunking' of Islam. But instead all I read was a story of deep emotional and physical trauma inflicted by those around her when she was young and vulnerable. She was let down by her community but she blames the religion and conflates culture with religion all the time throughout her book.
all islamic cultures oppress women, it's not disconnected from islam but stems from it.

When that lady broke fast in Ramadan, i dont even know who told her as she claims (you are done) what kind of story or even an imbecile person that told her that but no one tells the other you are done and you get thrown out of islam, this is not a job at insurance company in south western USA.
This is a way of life, so... The stories some of them are stupid and some really do not make any sense
Because most Muslims are angry mob don't you understand? And there are many different version of Islam and different sets of rules and regulations
ok
We need to promote a more merciful concept of Islam that is true to the less biased translations of Qur'an.
Islam is merciful. People often aren't.
How many of these people asked Allah for guidance but instead of trying to understand the Quran in Arabic they wasted their time following others that were just full of opinions and away from Allah and His Book.
Some people try hard to understand though
In the name of God, the infinitely Compassionate and Merciful.
Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.
The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning.
You alone do we worship, and You alone do we ask for help.
Guide us on the straight path,
the path of those who have received your grace;
not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray.
Amen.
Emotional emotional. Read the text then judge. You are taking testimony from ex Muslim.
Take it from who practices and understands it. You will know 2 sides
some people have their own logic
