People here always look for flaws in their country, not try to turn blind eye. That's why these societies has flourished far more than India. Nationalism is used way too much there by politicians. So now they can get away with providing so less to the people of India and people won't criticise india's moves for fear of insulting India. Talk about flaws, not achievements.

    I enjoyed his speaking and answers. It was awesome hearing him talk about Hitchens. Hitchens was someone that defended him when he had a fatwa against him. Even when on an Australian TV show when an abhorrent woman said that Rushdie offended a billion plus people with his book (weak skinned culture aren't they) and therefore, he didn't deserve his free speech right and his liberty/life protected by security. This is why the narrative is lost. People who defend these barbarians and their "culture" because... "Oh well their culture should be respected because it's their ways." No...it doesn't. At all.

    "If you don't like it, don't read it.!!" Exactly. In a growing number of places in the world, people are losing their ability to control their emotional responses and do easily take offense, equating such offenses as actual physical abuses. Grow up. Facts don't care about your feelings, emotions have no place in a debate. Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"....? Ohhhh right... it is hate speech to criticize islam, it's "prophet" and its book. How silly of me to forget...pffft. Look to the fruits produced and one can see clearly.... a complete lack of self control in emotive responses, actually, a lack of self control in more than one area, and it hardly seems "spirit filled".

    When he says, region is chosen and race is one born with, at first thought religion is also something that we are born with, most of the time. When they attack the religion we think they are attacking us. But what I didn't realize is that we are the ones that choose to cling to the religion we are born in. We don't even realize that we have the freedom to choose. Religions are nothing but ideas. The ideas that we pursue the best in our lives. Ideas keep evolving. But why would one want it limited to those formed thousands of years back.

    Especially if the basis wasn’t wise thousands of years ago ie at conflict with those who don’t follow the same ideas but when the ideas were wise thousands of years back, that wisdom is timeless and no need to discard it. We need to be wisely discerning. Sadly with Islam, some are born into it, may not believe it but are fearful of grave punishment and being ostracised if they want to leave it. Because their is so much hatred of non believers in Islam, it is hardly surprising that a very high proportion of such nonbelievers hate the religion and its adherents….you reap what you sow.

    I found a new scientific miracle in the Holy Quran which shows that the Holy Quran is the words of God. I will talk about the perfect correlation between God's clock based on the 7th heaven and the Human's clock based on the earth. It is mentioned in the Holy Quran that the ages of the universe and the earth are 6 and 2 days respectively in the time frame based on the 7th heaven. One can calculate the ratio of the universe to that of the earth as follows: R = age of the universe/age of the earth = 6 days / 2 days = 3 On the other hand we know that the dynamic age of the universe is 13.77 billion years and the radiometric age of the earth is 4.55 billion years in the time frame based on the earth. One can calculate the ratio of the age of the universe to that of the earth as follows: R = age of the universe/ age of the earth = 13.77 billion years / 4.55 billion years = 3.04 The coincidence between the values of the ratios of the age of the universe to that of the earth in both reference frames means that the God's clock based on the 7th heaven and the Human's clock based on the earth is in perfect correlation. This is because time is not absolute but rather relative as predicted by Einstein's special relativity. It also means that the earth was created for the first time when the age of the universe was 2/3 of its age today in both reference frames based on the 7th heaven and the earth. We learn from this fact that the Holy Quran is the words of Allah and Mohammed (PBUH) is His last messenger. But only Allah knows best.

    I should mention in the beginning two noble verses in the Holy Quran which teaches us that there are 7 heavens and 7 orbits one above another lying in a flat space. Let us start with chapter 78 verse 12 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And Constructed above you seven strong (heavens)". This noble verse among many others teaches us that there are 7 heavens. Then let us see the surat al Muminun verse 17 in the Holy Quran which tells us what means: "And indeed, We (Allah) Created above you 7 levels (roads). We (Allah) Are never unmindful of (Our creation)". This noble verse teaches us that there are 7 roads of the heavens. When taken together, the above-mentioned noble verses teach us that there are 7 universes like balls moving in 7 orbits and lying in a flat space. On the other hand, there are additional noble verses in the Holy Quran that teach us that the orbit of our universe is not circular but instead elliptical. This is because these nobles' verses tell us that there are two extreme travel distances between the earth and the 7th heaven: In one case it is mentioned in surat Maarij chapter 70 verse 4 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the Angles and holy spirits to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in the time frame based on the 7th heaven which corresponds to 50000 years in the time frame based on the earth. In the other case it is mentioned in surat al Sajeda chapter 32 verse 5 in the Holy Quran that the time needed for the commanded affair to ascend from the earth to the 7th heaven takes a Day in Allah's clock which corresponds to 1000 years in the Human's clock based on the earth. The Quran's description of the flatness of the cosmos is perfectly consistent with the standard cosmological model, representing a new scientific miracle of the Holy Quran. As you see there is no contradiction between the noble's verses in the Holy Quran and these noble's verses majestically complete each other. This proves that the Holy Quran is the words of God and the noble prophet Mohammed (PBUH) is the last messenger of God. But only Allah knows best.
