Thanks for this informative interview.

They were mostly jews or Pagans

Is slum is only for MOO HAM MUD TRIBE. ENJOY

There is so much to unpack here. Elegabalus took his Holystone to Rome. Elegabalus was related to Alexander Severus. The whole of this dynasty are, it sounds like it, syncretic Arabs. Iamblicus the Neoplatonist philospher worshipped the Monad or 'The One' It does sound very much to me like that Holystone, or part of it, might have ended up in Mecca. In Rome it had a Temple built especially for it when Elagabalus ruled, but was sent back to Syria after his time, and was apparently lost to history ...

Nonsense, you are half and half. If you are white you are half and half; you have half your mothers chromosomes and half your fathers. Also, we know that there is nothing more beneficial than breeding with other races. Humans have very low genetic diversity, which is why for example we have a massive problem with inbreeding, with rabbits its not so much of a problem as they have high genetic diversity. So there is no better genetic option than breeding with another race. Who cares if there is racism around it, there is racism between races, so there is also going to be racism directed at mixed people. Creating a distinction between race based racism and mixed based racism is redundant. C-R-T is a useless joke of a subject, all it does is add more useless labels and replaces words that aren't offensive just in case they become offensive.

Nasty dhimmies

Since race is pseudoscientific, what do you mean by blackness?

Super excited about this

Great info! Thank you!

Even in al-Habasha, you had a distinction between the tselim (black) and the qeyh (red). Some, actually mostly of non-Aksumite origin, were tselim (black) while others would not have considered themselves black at all. You see this distinction in the Ezana Stone in the 4th century. It would have been nice to see Dr. Rachel explore these racial categorizations from the perspective of the al-Habasha itself.

Another fab historical interview. Consider Elvis Costello 'Detectives' as your theme tune. A simple resonnance is the 'Gorgan' wall, built and rebuilt from 250 BC on around the town of 'Gorgan' with 'Gog and Magog'. Hm.

Whenever Islamic slavery is discussed, European slavery is brought up. But never the other way around.

In support of Dr Tomaso’s point about the gates don’t hold any water, it sounds similar to the concept that the gates of hell won’t prevail against the church yet you read sermons implying the smoke of hell has gotten through the cracks of the gate ..

Very important

Dr.marrow just lives in denial of what beat them clearly means Lives in denial of what jizzya is and what islam preaches

ty you really did a slam dunk on shoemaker, maker of nothing but shoes!

What is this the guy talks with which sources?

Extremely interesting Is this a short of an upcoming vid, or from a previous one? I had a quick scan through back episodes and nothing stood out that was this.

You guys are doing great work please keep it up!

Don’t fully agree with his characterisation of Isnad and the allegations of these books coming in 200 years after. Also the fact he claims that hadith are a close cased which anyone who knows that it’s a continuous living tradition.

A true cheat code !!!!

This channel is a true blessings

After 40 years working in various Arab countries= The Omanis are top people. Top. Complete 180 degrees from what one sees in Saudi Arabia.

Ohh evolution of a philosopher

Then, who is buried in Madina Mosque?

I'm about 50 minutes in and *unfortunately* agree with a good bit of what he's said. I just wish he was not so deeply negative. Meaning, if he finds something wrong with community XYZ, he'll harp on that issue to the exclusion of everything else. He cannot see commonality, only what divides people. And he comes to extreme conclusions from valid observations.

Please view the latest videos by Al Fadi on UA-cam - CIRA International with Dr Jay Smith - declaring uniquvovally that there is no evidence what's for a "Muhammad" or of any one, complete original Qur'an - A Muhammad was aledged to have been born in Mecca in 570 AD but the town did not exist until around 725 AD!!! There are over 26 official versions of the Qur'an in existence all with numerous errors and text taken from Aramaic, Syriac and Hebrew sources not Arabic as claimed - meaning no one holy Book, no act of Blasphemy for criticising them or Islamophobia!!!

Salam Alaikum Ust. Ali S. Harfouch. I appreciate your depth of thought and the philosophical underpinnings of your arguments. But I am expressing my concern regarding the implications of your views, which could be leveraged by extremists to justify intolerance or coercion in the name of religion. I visited your website and read your essay on the critiques of secularism, which I completely disagree with. You are completely misrepresenting secularism. I have included my disagreements regarding each of your arguments below. 1) On Fetishization: In your essay, you argue that secularism leads to the fetishization of man-made constructs, imbuing them with a sense of the absolute or divine. However, secularism actively prevents any ideology from becoming absolute by subjecting all beliefs to scrutiny and democratic discourse, recognizing the changeability of human constructs. Secularism doesn't vouch for any powerful state, it just wants the state to be non-religious. 2) On Transcendence: Your critique suggests secularism misplaces transcendence, substituting divine order with immanent concerns. Here, I would argue that secularism does not aim to replace transcendence but rather to compartmentalize personal beliefs to prevent any one religious perspective from dominating public and political life. This separation allows individuals to pursue personal transcendence while supporting a public domain that is inclusive and neutral, fostering a society where diverse beliefs can coexist peacefully. 3) On Oppression: You describe secularism as an oppressive order that confines thought and action to the immanent and mundane. Conversely, I believe that secularism facilitates a broader spectrum of thought and expression by preventing the state from enforcing any singular metaphysical or religious narrative. This ensures that individuals are free to explore and express a range of spiritual, philosophical, and practical ideas, enhancing rather than restricting freedom.

Amazing interview. Thanks!

sA-thank you both, Terron & Roxanna for this amazing interview. What great questions that provided strong insight into the Ustad's work. I am tremendously grateful for the exposure itself, as even with my strong interest in the intersection of liberation philosophy with Islamic thought - I'd never come across Ust. Harfouch's work. As an aspiring graduate student of Islamic Philosophy/Thought, this interview really lit a fire of inspiration within me. JAK to the three of you, I'm so eager to hear from Ust. Harfouch in the upcoming future, particularly on this platform.

👍

Someone tell John to start a UA-cam doing "tafsir" or something. It's like this guy took the words straight out of my soul when he was talking about how these exremists are ruining Islam.

First, well done for bringing up the issue of SA in the community-it’s about time. But let’s not pretend this isn’t a widespread problem, especially in certain institutions. I’ve heard too many horrifying stories from people who were victims as children. Abused and repeatedly raped in madrassas from the UK to the Middle East. This issue is a pandemic within the community, yet people would rather attend rallies that achieve nothing but give them a pleasant day out. And every time I try to bring this up, I’m shut down. “We can’t talk about this publicly,” they say. But why? Why the silence? It’s the same people who are quick to call Priests Paedos but refuse to confront their own problems. It’s hypocrisy, plain and simple. It’s all good and well to celebrate history, to post stories about achievements from centuries ago. Muslims translated Greek texts, Bravo. But what about now? What about the real issues happening today? Do we really think victims find comfort in nostalgia while their suffering is ignored? Look at the case in the last month in Malaysia where a paedophile network involving madrassas was uncovered and over 400 children abused and trafficked. What did I hear from the Muslim community? deafening silence. All these UA-cam Dawah people where are their voices? Too busy trying to hook themselves up with girls or creating clickbait titles or sell the idea of polygamy. The truth is, until this community confronts its own faults with the same energy it uses to criticize others, nothing will change. Silence isn’t protection. It’s complicity.

Thank you for your time. The talk has been very helpful ❤

A counter to his view on women slaves, would be the other passages about how to have sex with them ( consent is not mentioned aka grape) , how they can be sold on or gifted away , how they were taken in the first place.

I need a "heart" button here; the "thumb up" button can't do it.

Thank u so much for u work on/UA-cam Orientalism frames how we look at the "Other" which has real life consequence to the designated recipient of this negative view. Orientist Harvard univ Huntington, Samuel P. 1."The Hispanic Challenge."...The persistent inflow of Hispanic immigrants threatens to divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages 2. Sammuel Huntington 'Clash of Civilization '... referring to Muslims. According to Harvard prof Samuel Huntington the USA problems are the Muslims and Hispanics. These top university professors are given a platform to spue thier bigotry which impacts society & thereby impact government policies ...... from the 'Muslim ban' to threats to deport mostly Hispanic immigrates. Orientalist studies are exactly as Race Studies in America Example : How much has Harvard Prof Louis Agassi contributed to the study of the African race ? Has 'Polygenic ' the biological science of mapping genome to create a wave of racist reasoning Or stamford Univ prof David Jorden's contribution to eugenics ... w his study "The Blood of the Nation...a study of decay of Races though survival of the UNFIT "( get it on Amazon ) Also Look up all the prestiges studies of sterilizing black women and additional list of racist and Orientist use of academic studies to paint the 'Other' as subhuman. When the 'Other ' is subhuman it becomes acceptable to kill over 1 million in the Middle East and displace 38 million people from this region. To understand Orientalism it would be helpful to interview the professor of Edward Said chair at columbia Univ. As to the Enlightenment.... 'I' ...the individual is the center of the world .... not the community ..nor nature .... The Me &/or I of our post enlightenment views of the world has directly let to the destruction of our planet ...the atomic bomb USA dropped on the Japanese civilian population ( 'the Other') & WWI /WWII w estimated 75 to 80 million killed ..... which were mostly Europeans killing each other. .... not sure this 'Me'or 'I' ideology of the European Enlightenment has served the planet or humanity well. Please note the only black professor of Greek Classic study in the world (@ Princton university ) he just got a grant of 1 million dollars to study the Greek classics studies w a Critical Race theory lens . Princeton is in NJ therefore legally he can do this study on critical race theory studies on Greek classic education Many USA states make critical race studies illegal. (it is ok to write about Orientist topics but not critical race theory 🤔) This Princeton Prof is black formally an illegal immigrant from Domincan Republic .. giving it back to u 😜Samuel ( turning in his grave ) by the name of Dan-el Peralta. ❤️ PS prof Peralta as a world renown expert on Greek Classical believe that this field leads to white Supremacy ideology 🤔🤫. As to Bernard Louis ... we will leave him for another day.

bangers after bangers after bangers. Shukran!

Good video! Thanks for bringing these views to light!

Wow, literally just watched your old interview w/ this Brother. I have my disagreements, but this man brings an air of authenticity that reflects so accurately the community I was raised in. Feels like I snuck in and got away with hanging out with one of my brother's older friends.

While reading through his blog, I have found Umar to be a profundly stupid and obnoxious person. He's a zionist willing to apologize for Israel no matter what.

Wonderful talk. Interesting discussion on how Salafiyyah has become mainstream Islam. On the issue of spiritual abuse, while I agree that these scholars having secret wives does not rise to evil of abuse of children, the men who do these things should be fired and censured because they have shown a moral failing and abuse of power. The discourse on slavery, marital SA and concubinage was spot on. The better route is to understand the practice at its time in context and condemn any return to these practices in current times.

I really enjoy this Brother

Well, your references to Ibadiyyah resources in other videos ("Prima Qur'an") has opened up a can of questions for me...I'm grateful for the exposure you're giving to the variety within Islamic traditions.
