*Atheists claim that they are intellectually superior to religious people because they are willing to question their beliefs, whereas religious people are dogmatic and refuse to question their deepest beliefs and won't consider evidence that could potentially undermine those beliefs.* Well, have you ever heard an atheist say: "I wonder if constantly increasing individual freedom is a good thing." "I was wrong about democracy being a viable system." "Maybe the sexual revolution was a mistake." "The evidence shows that equality of the sexes is destructive." "Let's have a debate on if freedom of speech and religion is good for society." "Could it be that women need fewer rights?" I have never seen an atheist raise these questions or hold these positions up to serious scrutiny. Nor do they provide any evidence for their beliefs on these matters. They simply assert them and ridicule and mock anyone who disagrees with them.

When the ‘Abbāsid Caliphs were under Buwayhid suzerainty their Mamlūk policy was not free from the pressure of that Daylamite dynasty. The success of the Daylamite soldiers in so many eastern armies is really astounding, but in the slightly longer run they stood no chance against the Turkish Mamlūks, and they disappeared. Even a Buwayhid ruler preferred Turks over them (see e.g.Bosworth, , “Ghaznevid military organisation”, p. 42

Meanwhile Ibn Abi Amir set about making himself caliph in all but name. He recruited new elements into the army, notably Berber tribesmen from North Africa who were brought in not as individuals, like the Slavs from eastern Europe who formed the other main contingent in the armybut in tribal groups operating under their own leaders. His aim was to create an army of many different factions, none of which would be powerful enough to challenge him on their own. He also completed the demilitarization of most of the indigenous Muslim population of Andalus. The military might of the caliphate was now almost entirely composed of foreigners, Slavs brought in from eastern Europe, and Berbers, brought in from Morocco, just as in the Abbasid east it was largely composed of Turks brought in from Central Asia. It was a system which boosted the power of the rulers in the short term but had very deleterious consequences in the long run. This was especially true in Andalus where, in the thirteenth century Slavs and Berbers were no longer available and the local people had neither the resources nor the skills to defend their towns and villages against the advancing Christians.

Lmao 🤣 Why does Islam attract more converts than any other religion? One major reason is that vIslam says: "refugees welcome" to those fleeing failing liberal social and religious institutions. Let me explain. Liberal secularists promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal. Nevertheless, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by liberal secular norms, people stop marrying, having children, and practising religion. Put differently, the liberal is fundamentally a hypocrite - despite what he or she might say, no liberal person is actually interested in being part of a liberal marriage, a liberal family, or a liberal religion. Matters are different when it comes to Islam. Muslims also promote the idea that their norms for regulating marriage, family, and religion are ideal. Moreover, statistical data indicates that wherever a society is governed by Islamic norms, it boosts marriage, birth rate, and religious practice. Put differently, the Muslim is actually interested in being part of a Muslim marriage, a Muslim family, and the Muslim religion. The current era is an era of refugees fleeing from liberalism. Liberal marriage, family, and religion have collapsed. As a result, refugees from liberal societies seek marriage partners abroad, and if they practice any type of religion , it is a non-liberal version whose centers are located abroad. Islam is the most obvious choice for them.

Thanks!

First, the morality police were a thing and had a function to include obeying Islamic law in public appearance, dress, hair cut, clothing, behavior, etc. It was not uncommon to see them exercise their authority. (I was stopped quite frequently). Also, their markets were called the Souq, I wonder if it's a derivative of the word you mentioned. And wheels do not work on sand.

Informative video, one need to watch it twice to fully absorb and to share with kith and kin. Early Islamic societies during Abbasi period and Ummayad Califate of Spain prior to 1000 CE, as you will come to understand in this video, were quite liberal and advanced compared to what Muslims were prior to 1900 CE. Muslims empires declined starting from eleventh century to the start of Fourteenth century. Although Muslims made military advances in later centuries, fatalistic conservatism had displaced ijtihad and liberal thinking. It would be an eye opener for conservatives Muslims. You might be wondering why two different Abbasi period maps were shown on the video. Lager extent was in late eighth century CE and Smaller extent was in early tenth century. And later they just controlled Baghdad city and were uprooted in 1256CE by Halaku, the Mongol invader. I like Syawish Rehman’s unbiased accurate presentations in Al Muqaddimah with out letting down Ibn Khalidun’s legacy. You might have understood most of the terms he used, I want to clarify two Arabic words 1) Al-Mazalim is ‘Ombudsman’, I presume you know the role of office of Ombudsman 2) ‘Saraf’ is the money exchanger. In early days money was either in gold or silver, in Urdu we use Saraf for gold shops even today 😊

2:10 Ngl, I really really love that theory

I have to commen that the Iranians have continued to have praise for their past as a basis for the own culture which to look back on, like how many Arabs and Muslims will look back on the first Caliphates. As for modern longing for the past, it's really a reaction to Islam being forced upon the Iranians by the Islamic republic that has grown increasingly distant with the people, instead of giving the people the ability to choose their religion, and how they live generally. It is the story of modern Iran, where change has been forced upon the population who have then pushed back with the alternative, as the modern Islamic republic came about in part due to the last Iranian dynasty's rulers forcefully modernizing the nation through secularisation, combined with reppression of dissent by force and the economic crisis. When you deprive the people the ability to determine their own fate peacefully, that desire to gain that choise will lead to more extreme change through violence.

@@mhmadbedrddeen3414 The generation of women who grew up after the Islamic revolution in Iran want to choose whether to wear a veil or not themselves instead of having the decision be decided by old men. Religious choices should be the choice of a person themselves, instead of like in Iran where renouncing faith to Islam is punishable by death by law, which also states that basically all marriages lead to a non-Muslim woman becoming automatically Muslim while marriages with non-Muslim men aren't allowed. Also what you might not be aware of is the fact that the Iranian revolution was done by a lot of different groups who were much more popular than the more fringe hardline Shia clergy of Ayatollah, including republicans, social democrats, conservatives and all kinds of different anti-Shah forces. However it was a little thing of the Mosques having been the only place not surpressed by the Shah during his reign that gave the more fringe clergy disproportionate power following the revolution, which they used to betray literally all the other participants of the revolution in the name of forcing hardline Shia faith on Iran. A similar story played out in Cuba, where the anti dictatorship protestors succeeded who were in majority comprised of more social democratic/moderate socialists, only to see Fidel Castro's more hardline socialist communists take over after the revolution was won, ignoring the will of the majority. Also while the Iranian embargo today is less of a justified thing leftover from the cold war (though the idea of revoking them has become less popular after Mahsa Amini was beaten to death despite wearing the hijab correctly and the subsequent killing of protestors and gassing of girls schools), it was originally embargoed for the fact that the US embassy was attacked and the people inside were taken hostage, against basically all international law.

Okay, I don't think of Muslim sources as untrustworthy. However, if we can recount a story from both Muslim and Non-Muslim sources, that lends credence to the story if both sides are telling the same or similar stories. "Orientalist" historians also rely on Islamic sources but they analyze them to come to a conclusion about their authenticity. As far as the biography of the Prophet is concerned, that is uniquely unreliable, not because it's from an Islamic Source (the same problem exists for the biography of Jesus) but because it comes from a deeply religious and pious source. That source was obviously biased and we can not accept any word at face value.

4:00 in regards to the Jizya, I think there are some mistakes, the Jizya is not far more than Zakat, in fact in many cases it would be less than the Zakat, therefore avoiding the Jizya wouldn't have been a valid reason to convert especially since women, children, elderly, people with disabilities, the poor and religious people like priests and monks do not pay the Jizya while only adult men capable of fighting are required to pay it, but the Zakat is paid by any adult male and female so only children and the poor would not pay, hence it would be disadvantageous for most of these groups to convert to islam if the purpose was only to avoid the Jizya. The Jizya amout was from 1 dinar to 4 while the Zakat is 2.5% of the yearly income which could be much more than the Jizya.
