For those who don't know why Nadir was so obsessed with Aron ignoring him: Aron had at least 2 discussions/debates with Nadir on scientific miracles in the Quran and by the end of it he no longer wanted to speak to Nadir because Aron realized he was completely intellectually dishonest and so talking to him is a waste of time. Nadir has openly stated before that he will 'never admit Islam lost a debate' because he believes so strongly in it. He's an attention seeker and I consider him to be the 'Kent Hovind' of Islam. Like Kent he: - Only debates one topic: scientific 'mircales' in the Quran. This is why he was so obsessed with trying to push this in Matt's debate which was not about that. - Refuses to admit that he is wrong and accuses the other side of damage control. Side note, on this he's actually worse than Kent because he was accusing the QUESTIONERS of damage control. Apparently Nadir does not understand the purpose of Q&A. - Thinks children can consent. - Projects himself on the other side. - Has an enormous ego. - Thinks he is the ultimate debater and the only person you should debate (when he insulted Perfect Dawah, clearly he's still butthurt that Aron won't talk to him again) Even Daniel was a better interlocutor than Nadir. Heck even the Muslims who debated for the genocide of infidels on MMD were better interlocutors than Nadir.

Matt's opponent: but... but.. but my arguments will only work if we debate about beliefs and feelings

I'm a big fan the Socratic method of examining assertions. I find that Islamic claims are especially vulnerable for the simple fact that so many assertions are fundamental and absolute. Simple questions are powerful exposers of the falsity of unqualified fundamental assertions. For example, it's a basic assertion of Islam that the quran is the perfect, unchanging word of a perfect, unchanging god. Who is then justified in "interpreting" the quran so that obviously false assertions in the original text say something different from what the original, allegedly perfect text actually says? Is it that this god is unable or unwilling to say what it means or mean what it says when it says that an ant spoke? If this god says that there is place where the sun sets in a spring of dark mud, why it is necessary to change the words so it says that god says someone saw a sunset? There are literally dozens of similar nonsense statements in the original text of the quran that provide tens of thousands of apologists with steady work "interpreting" these obvious errors so they mean something different from what they clearly say.

I nearly did a spit take when you mentioned, "Kissing Hank's Ass." It's such a good way to show religious people how they sound to me.

I debated Moslem’s and the final killing argument of the debating counterpart was always the question of: “are you an islamic scholar?”, when entering into the details of historical Islam and they started to be far out of their depths, especially how it came to the fact that the Koran is the literally the same all over the world (although that is not entirely correct, even if moslems like to claim so). Since I am not an islamic scholar, the debate then always over - though there are enough history books contradicting todays teachings of the source for the “modern” Koran.

Whenever I'm reminded of prison ministry, my mind immediately goes back to Hoodlum, where at the beginning of the movie Lawrence Fishburn's character has to convince the board evaluating his release, being asked what he thinks of the bible they heard he was reading, snd him answering in the most obvious I'm-lying-to-you-so-you'll-do-what-I-want way, saying "It's a good book."

I have looked forward to this review since watching the debates, Matt, especially the one with Nadir, so thank you. That man is so annoying. His arguments are appalling. He is arrogant and condescending, perhaps not quite as extremely so against you, Matt, but if you’ve seen him trying to school Apostate Prophet, the condescension was so thick, you could cut it with a knife. He needs to learn a few social skills. His defence of the ridiculously unscientific passages in his Quran are absolutely laughable and show just how thoroughly his religion has brainwashed him. I think he’s a parody of a man, truly someone representing the lowest point. And the other guy, Kenny, giving you his book like that at the start… what a cheap, shoddy gesture.

of course you like Kenny - he is the weaker debater - not educated. I used the science of the Quran to body slam Matt, as he was not able to respond.

After watching this video expecting it to be a review of your conversation with Kenny, I then went back and found the conversation with Nadir. I have to say, even with low expectations going in, I was still disappointed with Nadir, and his ability to even approach the notion of critical thinking. At one point, he said something along the lines of "Matt has to explain to me why the Quran has these scientific miracles (not a thing) listed all over," and I couldn't believe he actually seemed to want you to do his job for him. Talking to him really was a waste of time.

Many Muslims would actually see the 'Kiss Hank's Ass' tactic and phrasing as hard to interact with because it means that they will have to engage with phrasing itself that they are uncomfortable invoking as part of a counter. This and the farting pixies examples are not going to get the job done in an honestly earned way, Matt. That being said, I can't wait to see you school Daniel.

The holy book believers need to list all the science as yet undiscovered by man that they are currently sitting on. Then they could tick them off as we find them. Done, that would be pretty reasonable proof of their books validity, maybe not divinity but still a good start.

11:30 “the rapid spread in conversion to Islam/Christianity” is uniquely unimpressive in the context of these religions because they contain Explicit teleological proclamations which command their believers to evangelize to every man on earth. Meanwhile Buddhism permeated a vastly more cultural/linguistically heterogeneous expanse of the planet all while having no evangelistic mandate. That a religion not about miraculous wonders and tall tales, but dispassionate self knowledge and letting go of selfish attachments would scale the Himalayas to reach the the Eurasian steppe, penetrate the fiercely isolationist Japanese archipelago, and unify the countless isolated cultures which arose in the most fertile environment on earth, in the rainforests of south East Asia… is far more compelling than the Abrahamic cults which had the power of the state behind them, yet struggled to establish themselves beyond their near eastern Mediterranean/Arabian context. The spread of Islam and Christianity is exactly what one should expect from a false belief system which contains violent and exclusivist instructions for how to enforce those beliefs as a political ideology.

I appreciate your information and understanding. If I may opine. Christianity became highly popular for one main reason. It plays on natural human fears of death, promises that you can escape it by simply believing in this. Then they hand a bible to the fearful masses. Now you get eternal life without even working for it. You see what kind of mind believes in that? Humans being naturally divided to enhance evolution in the beginning creates their own version locally. We don't share Gods until the God can't be shared. So they continue to evolve religions. Most humans have a sheep mentality. They will be led by something unless they figure it out. They are not the thinkers. But they are the masses. The many called. Not the few chosen. (Using Christian adopted lingo)

It think theists understand that the universe is indifferent to our existence. They don't like the idea that some people have done so much harm to society and were never punished for it during their lifetime. They believe that they will be judged for their actions in some afterlife or from reincarnation (into a "lower" life form). That's why it's important for us to try and fix the problems we have in the world. This existence is the only one we are sure of, the rest we have no evidence for and are just wishful thinking.

No! see, no debate needed.

I got in an argument with Nadir in the comment section of one of his other debates. He's incredibly condescending and didn't seem to even understand the point I was making. He also wouldn't shut up about how many Christians he claims to have beat in debates in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if he's yelling at people in the comment section for this vid too.

The Mediterranean and Atlantic are stratified where they meet due to the Mediterranean being saltier. But the reason the Mediterranean is saltier is because the Atlantic flows into the Mediterranean. Water in the Mediterranean evaporates, and there are not enough rivers to provide enough fresh water to cancel out the additional salt that is constantly feeding in from the Atlantic. So the waters do mix.

Sounds like Nadir is appropriately named!

Both of those debates only showed just how much of their life some believers will put into a belief so removed from all that is real and good, in order to defending the indefensible, and how willing they are to resist any form of rational thought in order to take on the futile task of explaining an utterly absurd ideology into existence. I guess the main reason the bible and quran call suicide a ticket to hell, is because some of those who made that crap up realized just how much their bullshit messed with peoples mind. I can only imagine that before they did people would rather die than serve a god who demands one mutilate their own mind to the degree of self inflicted insanity.

Only Allah knows the correct interpretation? Why isn't Allah able to make itself clear so that no interpretation will be necessary?

Just wait until some brilliant physicist finds a solution, and then all the muslims will scramble to look for the best verse that was so obviously talking about the topic all along

@@lilarrin1220 But until real physicists find the answer, no one will be able to point to any verse in any allegedly holy book.

I often find myself wishing that Matt would have an intelligent debate opponent, who didn't fall victim to uncountable numbers of fallacies, etc. But then I remember - If they were intelligent and weren't plagued by horrendously flawed thinking, then they wouldn't be theists!! If we want to see an exciting, compelling and 'close' debate, then Matt would need to debate a competent atheist over a non-theistic topic. He did this once before about abortion rights, but unfortunately, his opponent kind of shat herself (figuratively). Matt talked about bodily autonomy and she was expecting him to say that the foetus isn't human, so ALL her segments revolved entirely around objections that no one had made. She wasn't just arguing against a straw-man, she was arguing against an invisible, possibly an imaginary straw-man!! Every point Matt raised was entirely unanswered by her, the ONLY points that she 'rebutted' were points that no-one had raised. That isn't so much a brain-fart on her behalf, it's a brain-fart that turned into a brain-shit, hence she 'kind of shat herself.' Which is a shame, really, because she was quite sexy when she wasn't covered in figurative shit! Anyway, my point is, I want to see more debates against attractive women! No... Hang on...

Fun fact: there are no good studies supporting benefits of alcohol consumption. Most studies supporting this claim are either connected to the industry or methodologically weak.

Alcohol makes religious people more tolerable. It is absolutely essential, and the benefit certainly outweighs the harm.

watched both debates recently but didn't have that much to do about islam

I'm frustrated with the debate inside Christianity between Calvinism and Arminianism. There's verses that back both sides, but they're trying to cancel each other out because the modern evangelical thinks that theological purity can be attained, only if the other side admits their fault. So what you see is dodging, interpretations, Greek meaning, grammatical gymnastics, sophistry etc.

Both debates were ridiculous! I don’t get how Matt has patience to do these debates. I hope he’s getting paid a lot of money!

​@@nadirahmed4224nothing as such happened..if it did you wouldn't be here telling ppl to accept it lmao..just take the L man you lost big time😂

9:5, 9:14, 47:3-4, (Quran) countless more. How is this not "Hate speech"?

Other religions/cultures also have prohibitions against alcohol. Even if Islam is responsible for saving lives (debatable) look at all the lives lost due to wars and terrorism etc.

I couldn't even finish watching the debate with Nadir. He was so terrible I just couldn't stand it.

Welcome to every single "debate" with a "muslim"/zealot.

14:09 If one "converts" out of self-interest to a different religion than the majority in said country... an advantage is the parole board will have a difficult time verifying one's devotion. As someone raised Catholic, (not that I am now) I know about the sacraments. I know what a sacrament is, and what the various sacraments are. If someone tells me that they've found Catholicism in jail? I might ask them about the sacraments they've completed. I might also ask them about circumcision, if their anatomy makes that relevant. If someone converts to Sikhism, and I've not prepared for their parole meeting... I believe they wear a hat, and eat vegan? That's all I've got. As for Islam? Oh, you can't have alcohol or pork. Are you allowed alcohol in prison? No. Are you allowed pork in prison? Sure, but if you have a religious exemption, you might get chicken or steak. You have to pray five times a day? Pretty easy to do in prison, when you have a wealth of spare time. It might even prevent you from getting shanked in the yard. In terms of game theory? Islam is a pretty solid choice for a prisoner converting in bad faith.

no, next question?
