Chris Hedges is an anarcho-communist who only "supports" Muslims because they are currently victims of Neoliberal Imperialism. If Muslims had any power he would insult us as much as he does the Christian Fundamentalists. His books promote feminism, liberalism and a very modernised form of Christianity which are his true beliefs.

@@md.azizulhoque1263 salam ill try to keep it succinct. i studied history and world religion for many years for my comic book and still do. i realized on my own their is a highest absolute uncreated creator that is necessary and perfect. it was an intense realization i didnt want to accept an uncreated creator was the most logical explanation for existence if you can look past the scientism we are brainwashed with in uni. A few seconds after that i try to get my mind off it by returning to my studies for my comic book, i was studying Jinn/Genies at the time and thought what better place to research about Jinn then in the quran. i went to a random chapter and came across surah ikhlas, it was so logical and clear and beautiful it hit me like a truck and freaked me the heck out. i put the quran away for about a month because i knew if i kept reading i would become a muslim, but something in me said if i deny what i just realized and read i would be amongst those who deny the truth for my petty convinience. for that month i could not focus on any of my work, it was like the quran was calling me to read it everyday. i would be up at 3am reading the quran in my car asking questions to myself and getting the answers immideatly from the quran. It was very intense and i couldnt stop reading and i dont really read books if its not a comic book tbh. Even with all this i was still reluctant to accept Islam even though it made sense. You see most of my friends were anti-religion but not on the same level as i was. Back then id actively find religious ppl to debate for sport and i even named my cat satan as a joke to troll my christian vetrenarian so hed have to say his name whenever id get a check up for my cat. But subhanallah i found all of that was like a weak spiderweb that god just cleared as i read the quran and studied the last prophet sincerely. Yet their was still this reluctantcy to accept Islam, so i assumed the most humiliating position for the Ego, Sajda, and asked God to show me the truth no matter what it is. A week later i took my shahada alhamdillah.

Gotta love the serendipitous coincidences in dawah: Ataiesm vs. atheism 😁 Just joking! The humanity does not need any more -isms, only Allah's mercy and guidance, Islam. MaasAllah Mr. Ataie does an excellent job in explaining God's existence with clear logic. May Allah reward him for that and make his mission easy for him🤲

Most of these atheist scientists are doing ridiculous mental gymnastics to point to ANYTHING beside God : An eternal universe, an autonomous self-creating nature, a metaverse, a matrix, sollipsism, aliens, utter randomness, nothingness, etc. No one is blinder than the one that refuses to see. Truly willful ignorance at its finest. May Allah bless you and reward you brother Paul for sharing these gems.

A useful video to share with my teenage son who likes science. Thank you sir

I used to struggle with this question in my youth but I don’t even need to ask this question anymore. I KNOW god exists just like I know the sun exists. I can’t prove to anyone else that the sun exists even if it’s shining outside and you can see it right infront of you. A denier can always deny what’s infront of him. They have no shame. So I basically just believe on my own and I know that God exists. The proof is there in our hearts and in creation but you can’t prove anything to a denier. A denier will always be a denier. Don’t try to convince them because it’s a futile job. Just let them be and Allah guides who he wants.

9:50 I actually did.... The album cover art for the famous album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beetles features the 4 band members posing with 71 famous people. Included in this list is the British occultist Aleister Crowley, and in this article we are going to answer the question: Why was Aleister Crowley included in the cover art for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band? Aleister Crowley is on the cover of the Beatle’s album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band because they wanted to have a variety of famous and influential people in the design. Paul McCartney thought of the concept, and John Lennon suggested Aleister Crowley after seeing the occultist’s books in a trendy bookstore.

One of the best refutations of Atheism I’ve seen

Thank you, Mr. Paul for letting us know of this video. It was very useful

I've listened to 3 of these men for years when I was an atheist. They actually have no arguments. Sam Harris' understanding of religious Scriptures is very poor. It's as if he never read them. Hitchens is highly articulate and charismatic when he speaks. The best orator of our time. However, once you get past this skill, his entire argument is based on morality. The problem, as a materialist, he can't make moral judgments, let alone moral condemnations. Dawkins is just an arrogant prick who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Dennett, I have not listened to.

"God is not only great but the GREATEST"

This is just a simple point to ponder upon, i know people will then come and say o you dont understand this and that and a robot can come from toaster.... Here it is Atheist stands before you with his body which is comprised of over 20 trillion cells, each cell contains bridges, factories, complex and exquisite coding systems in the genetic code. He looks at you with his eyes which contain a colour-coded imaging system with an astonishing resolution, along with a fantastical mechanism for storing both dynamic and static images, rather interpreting these images via the brain and analysing them in less than a second. He stands there with his upright figure which is run by 640 muscles, forgetting his heart which has been functioning for over 20 years; day and night, while asleep and while awake, without any external maintenance. Then the command comes from his brain - about which solid scientific thesis and papers have been written, and which still contains a great deal of ambiguity uncertainty- to move his tongue which is linked to the jaw by 17 muscles; He stands there to ask you with extraordinary intelligence; 'Where is the evidence for (the existence of) a Creator?". I don't know which of the two answers is more befitting in this situation; {...in yourselves. Then will you not see?} Surat Adh-Dhariyat 51:21. Ahh man you irrational muslim you dont know how a flatworm was converted into Albert Einstein by mutations over millions of years!!!

Those atheists are probably smarter than many believers. However, they will never believe because God controls their hearts and if God finds their hearts filled with arrogance: he will never let them believe. So don’t waste your time elsewhere, “the problem is with your hearts and not with your brains” check out this verse and put your ego down and distinguish it, and then come back to me and tell me what you see. Al-A’araf 7-146 I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.

This is exactly what I had been waiting for

This is the perfect time to focus on this topic as the world seem so unbalanced.

Thanks brother Paul for this video of my most favourite of your guests👍 I think that the moral approach to the question of 'Does God exist?' is nonsensical because ontological conclusions aren't proven or disproven according to their ethical implications, in other words: things don't come into being and get out of it according to how good or bad they are, there's a lot of immoral, evil and harmful stuff in the world yet they're all real. So in order to answer the aforementioned question we should search for evidence of God's existence, the topic of whether God wants us to love or hate each other is irrelevant.

Our existence proves existence of God.

A prolific speaker with logic.

Is part 2 of his talk on the Quran still scheduled?

They say, "If God shows himself, I'll believe him," and I usually respond with, "But I don't believe you." Why? Because in the past, there were humans called prophets, bending the laws of physics in front of the crowd, and few of them believed it. Prophet Ibrahim is the best example. He came out of a fire that would logically kill him instantly, and how many people believed him afterwards from the entire population of Babylon who witnessed that? Only one, and that was his nephew, Prophet Lut.
