5 Myths about Israel and the War in Gaza (Episode  

Most Muslims are not the problem and peaceful! But if 25% that are not, are a BIG problem. They do need to be addressed ASAP

Judaism is where Islam gets its violence from. The torah and talmud also command the believers to murder and rape, and as we see both abrahamic zealots currently follow those orders- except harris only has concern for one of these groups of zealots

Do you think it's unpreventable that our countries will clash ? 😢. I have many Iranian friends from previous student exchanges, and am aware of the sentiment of the people vs the government. I love them very much. Some of them even tole me straight up Iran must eventually be dealt with. I can't imagine how painful it must to speak of your own country in such terms. Is there no hope of a peaceful change of regime in your opinion?

I wish I could say the same about Pakistan too. It has been state propaganda since 1980 in Pakistan it is default position of everyone. Our government and people are pretty much on same page. Just condemning H*m*s once and then focusing all attention on Is*ael alone is not enough. Why don't they call back Pakistanis who work in Qatar or any country that funds H*m*s? Why don't they boycott all Arab countries that support them? Why only boycotting Is*ael? Why was there criminal silence for first 3 to 4 days when attack began even though videos were circulating all over the internet? And millions of them only took to the street as soon as Israel began its action? Edit: I just wanna say Sam Harris is one of the few intellectuals who sees how much religion has to do with all of it. I have ordered his book End of Faith which is supposed to arrive this week.

“…he does not mention Israeli settlements on the West..” How can Israel be a “colonizer” of its own land? Under international law the principle of _Uti Possidetis Juris_ all of the land within Mandatory Palestine which was agreed to by the League of Nations in 1922 belongs to Israel. Don’t understand that legal concept? There’s another way to view ownership. When the 1948 war concluded with an armistice the Jordanian army controlled the West Bank, and two days later Jordan annexed the land. In 1967 Jordan attacked Israel, lost, and Israel took control of the land. While it is a violation of international law to acquire land as the aggressor in a war, it is not illegal to do so as a victim of aggression.

That's a great business idea! 😅

Great comment

🤣

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

sadly, even woke harvard people are more level headed about this topic than sam harris is

Very tidy indeed, easy because Sam fails to mention anything about the origins of Isreal, please watch 1948: Creation and Catastrophe, free on RU-vid. And this is the way we all have been brainwashed into thinking Isreal is just defending itself. They have been the aggressor from the start and it was a bad deal that is finally falling apart completely. Learn the actual history, not the propaganda, and certainly not Sam's smart but myopic anti-jihadist line. As Sam himself here says, there are many contributing factors that make up a conflict, but he is not even allowing the basis for this conflict which begins with a Zionist campaign that was exactly terrorism from the get go, look up the 1946 bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in which 91 people were killed, it was organized by Menachem Begin as Israel’s prime minister. Begin was only the first of the continuous right wing Zionists who are frank exponents of Jewish supremacism and who continue to rule Israel right this minute. I have used Sam's waking up ap for 3 years now, and I will not be renewing it again. I love all the guests he has on, but I can find them elsewhere. I find his guided meditations to be as strident as his thinking on this very critical moment of crisis. He has a lot to offer in criticizing Jihadism and nothing to offer in criticizing this other "lunatic ideology" which the US government backs.

There's more of us than the propaganda war run by Iran and Qatar might make it seem

Let them fund UNRWA. The Egyptian Yasser Arafat amassed $1Billion from his grift, pretending to fight for liberation.

it doesn't matter - they playing you. doesn't matter if the political leadership is there and the militant leadership is there. they all think the same and work toward the same evil goal

I'm sorry, but are you talking about Israel or the Palestinians?@@explore-n

clearly the palastinians. their corruption is known around the world. on the same level of curruption in iran and russia@@dougmorrow746

It's not like the prophet Muhammad volunteered to martyr himself for his cause. He got suckers to do that for him.

We only realised when your mother's womb got full of dirt 😎

I think so much of it is the West's evolution into religious tolerance which makes them believe they are being politically correct though they are truly being intimidated.

@liberalegypt, I am an atheist, also from the Levant. You are absolutely correct, and I wish more people were aware of the agenda of world domination that Islam has always propagated. If one is a true believer of Islam, one has to embrace Jihad, and it's all downhill from there. I wish there were 2 billion non-religionists who understood that. There are a lot of westerners who are dealing with white guilt, who divide the world into oppressor and oppressed, just by color of skin or place of birth. There is so much ignorance, it is depressing. The extremists of Judaism mirror Hamas, but there are fewer of them - as yet. Let's hope their numbers remain small. Thank you for speaking truth.

@@NothingButGoodStuff "There is so much ignorance, it is depressing." I bitch about this all the damn time!

It is the double-edged sword of preventing hate speech. It is valuable when trying to prevent the demonizing of people who do no harm to others, but it also prevents demonizing actual demons.

Oh my goodness...

or that that he would've seen thousands of palestinian civlians, many having never gone through due process, tortured and mutilated in isreali prisons. Harris is out of his mind. This conflict goes back way before jihadism, and Israel is commiting actual genocide live on tv

Shouldn't this be an example of the intentionality of extreme Islam? I'm struggling with understanding if a majority of the world - which includes non-Muslim supporters - is just plain bad or stupid. It's as if they cannot be reasoned with for the sake of a better world.

" The first time the phrase “human animal” was recorded in history was by himmaliar, in The Posen speech to SS officers (6 October 1943) - On the 7th, it is crucial to understand that there were no direct attacks on civilians, only collateral damage. Out of the 1148 total names on haaret dataset, 473 military and 675 were civilians. Ratio of civilians to military personnel killed on the 7th was 1 . 4 : 1 - lower than any of the iTf "mowing" operations, which has a ratio of 7 : 1 According to UN OCHA data from 2008 to 2022; The collateral damage on the 7th was significantly lower than any of the ITf "mowing" operations, which had a ratio of 7:1 with 1,023 military personnel out of 6,541 total. On the 7th, with 473 military (418 were iTf military personnel, 55 belonged to the police) out of 1148 total, the ratio of civilians to military personnel was a mere 1.4:1 When including all casualties, not just deaths, the collateral damage ratio of the "mowing" operations is a staggering 162:1 From the 161,233 accumulated civilian casualties over only 14 years of "mowing" operations. A 162 :1 ratio means that for every 162 civillians, 1 military personnel is a casualty. The 7th had a ratio of 1.4:1, more than a hundred times lower. The 473 are - 55 soldiers, 13 privates, 59 corporals, 200 sergeants (45 of whom were sergeant majors), 48 commanders, 32 lieutenants, 5 lieutenant colonels, 6 colonels, 37 officers, 10 inspectors, 6 intendents, and 2 Lance Corp.

@@Fomites who do you mean by "he"?

Sam…It’s a shame that you squandered an opportunity to inform your audience, and instead volunteered to be a propaganda, puppet for misinformation, provided by a foreign government. The right side of history is never on the side of the oppressor. without understanding the imbalance of power, the illegal status of Israel’s 75 year occupation of Palestinian territory, and an understanding of centuries. You need to recalibrate your moral compass. Justifying the murder of children and an absurdly high civilian death rate as “urban wear warfare”, is straight from the Zionist propaganda talking points. Shame on you. Suggesting that this Hass to do with religion is proof you have absolutely no understanding of hundreds and nearly 1000 years of amicable relations between the Muslim and Jewish communities. Zionism is a colonial political ideology. If you don’t believe me do your research on what the original name was. Judaism is a beautiful religion that is intentionally conflated with a barbaric political ideology to insulated from criticism and accountability. Like all humans, Palestinians have the right to live free or die trying. international law afford this right to all humans, including Palestinians. Over 13,000 children have been murdered with our taxpayer dollars, over 7000 women have been murdered and over 80% of Palestinian civil infrastructure has been demolished. The suggestion that this has anything to do with a clash of civilizations and religious ideology is laughable. Kindergarten level research would have proven that even Christian and Jewish Palestinians are part of the resistance movement Determined to end the 75 year oppression of Palestinians. They will live free or die trying. In case you forgot, Mandela was also a terrorist, according to the apartheid state, trying to discredit him. the truth will prevail and as always, the right side of history will be on the side of the oppressed… Not the oppressor. Wake up.

Part of which is Sam's ignorance and hypocrisy.

"Solo Sam Harris podcasts are always the best." Not on this topic. The only people we've heard from so far on Making Sense are those who share his views. It just makes me wonder why Sam can't find an expert with a different perspective to debate with on this topic.

@@KnowledgeSeeker-wi9sw what specifically did he say you disagree with?

Cragjones, you'll never get a cogent answer, let alone a specific, from bankrupt trolls like "KnowledgeSeeker."

Totally agree!

so many things he said are untrue, sadly. "People only hear what they want to hear"

@@sketsakafit3733 If that is true, then it should be easy for you to give some examples.

yes, not matter if it Jihadism, Wokeism, Trumpism, Vaccination Skeptics... Sam is there to address boldly!

​@@mrrecluse7002 ok, one example: He said that israel dont commit genocide because Gaza's population is not decreasing but rather increasing, from 250.000 (1948) to 2.5 million something (today). But do you know why there is a surge in Gaza's population? It's turns out isn't caused by increase in Palestinian's birthrate, but its because they are refugees. Gaza residents are displaced people from other regions of Palestine such as Jerusalem, West Bank, or other villages that got ransacked and taken over by either israeli armed settlers or expelled by the IDF. So it's clearly genocide and ethnic cleansing.

So if there is a known terrorist in a football stadium, do Israel bomb it? What about a busy cafe, apartment block, or a hospital, or a bus... Israel is not open about how it determines each situation. There's a line somewhere, and the equation does include body count...

Sam Harris doesn't understand it either after more than 10000 children killed and wounded by israel.

Anything to feel better about the 28,000 dead and 2,000,000 starving am I right? What about the IDF blowing up unoccupied UN built schools? The IDF destroying all Universities in Gaza. Completely leveling the North (literally every structure). What about the IDF shooting tank rounds at press in Lebanon killing 1 (caught on camera btw). The Numerous counts of IDF shooting innocent Palestinians simply trying to walk to the safe zones while holding white flags? Sam is a well spoken cleric who sits in his Ivory tower to speak sweet truths of nothingness in your ear. Nothing more.

Yeah it’s pretty good!

@@tamhiker1 what a croc. Over 2m arabs living well in Israel.

@@tamhiker1 As I wrote, they are living well.

@tamhiker1 let me tell you something, 1. I won't let anyone tell me how to self identify. Our druze community won't let overlord muslim arabs control how we see ourself. The title arabs was bestow on us a subjection/colonization. There is a term for Arab colonization.. it's called Arabization! I say no more! If the middle eastern jews managed to decolonize themselves from being looked as arabs! So will we the druze people. 2. As an israeli Druze, jewish Israelis are not our enemy, our villages often are as close as 1-2 km from jewish villages and towns and they never attack us, they never force anything upon us, they live among us in peace and don't ask us to convert or be subjected to their way of lives the way muslims always trying to convert everyone to islam or arabization. The jews let us be, as they let the Christians and Muslims villages within 5 KM to us alone. This is why jews all over the world is 15 million, no history of oppressing and force converting others. How do you think islam expanded? Do you know basic islam history? Let alone arabazing native indigenous groups like druze by arabs. Zero respect to others, yet tell themselves their a religion of peace. Only peaceful Muslims I know live in israel and are good people with no desire to convert the rest of us to islam. The same cannot be said about fundamental islamist in Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, etc. 3. I live in a town in North israel, where my ancestors have lived for over 1200 years, we live on a mountain overlooking Lebanon, when Islamist Hezballah shoot rockets into Israel that fly to our village, they don't consider that these rockets fall on Druze, chirstain, jewish or Muslim towns. And often the only thing between our homes and ancient towns built thousands of years ago being destoried by islamist rockets is israeli technology and israeli soliders risking their life to protect all of us. So weather israeli jews fully see me as an Arab or not, I can guarantee you they will 1. Not treat me differently to how they treat themselves. 2. Risk their own life to protect my home, my small children and my elderly parents. You need to understand that 99% of the media you are seeing online is either Qatari propaganda or American propaganda. On the ground, day to day, the reality is very different. 99% of minorities including Muslim beduins in israel, support Israel. And are as much part of israeli society as jewish.

@@tamhiker1 I misunderstood your last response. Those in the west bank are living horrifically. If you want to blame Israel for that then there really isn't much to discuss. I'll just point out that I don't know what Israel could do in light of the fact that the only goal of the "Palestinians" since 48 (and really, even before that) has been to rid the entire region of Jews. They have been pretty clear about that in words and in action. So what can Isreal possibly do? And by the way, my original comment was to yours about Israelis seeing the OP as an Arab and the implication that he was somehow subordinate. Its still a croc.

@@tamhiker1 I don't mean this to be condescending but is awareness of this conflict fairly new to you? The Pals have rejected two state solutions over and over again. As mentioned before, their goal is to rid the region of the Jews. Even when given the ability to govern themselves (there hasn't been a Jew in Gaza since 2006)....well, you saw the results in Gaza. They took the billions they received in foreign aid and instead of growing their economy and building infrastructure, they built terror tunnels and terrorists. The reason they live the way they do is twofold. 1. They are a certain security risk for Israel. If you can't see that then you are willfully ignoring reality. 2. Their ability to get responsible leadership in place has never come to fruition; beginning with Arafat and down through the years. "There will be peace when the Arabs love their children more than they hate us" - Golda Meir. Hasn't happened yet.

yet he ignores the atrocities comitted by the IDF labelling them "mistakes and poor judgement" and that war crimes will "eventually" happen..they have already happened.

​@@inbox0000Can you say one thing that your community did wrong? It is shocking that you people have never own up to anything. Nothing is your fault. The rest of the world is ALWAYS at fault. Any culture that is lacking in self-awareness self-reflection and self-criticism cannot prosper.

​@@inbox0000 The key difference is that mistakes and poor judgement are inevitable, even with the best of intention, whereas the systematic and deliberate targeting of non-combatants, or pursuit of jihad/martyrdom are intrinsically detrimental. There will always be isolated rogue actors (when there is sufficient tension as with this situation) and humans always make occasional mistakes and in war, that can have terrible consequences. To see the difference, consider Sam's point at the end about what the world would look like if each group had total power. If Hamas had total power, automatic genocide and/or enslavement of all Israelis.... Israel essentially has total military power, yet less than 1pc of Palestinians are dead in 6 months of war.

It's not obvious at all. Why would you say that. This perspective has been buried by a deluge of disinformation and propaganda coming from the Iran-Hamas axis. And even without that nonsense, some of these details still wouldn't be obvious to people who do not know the history or follow the conduct relatively carefully.

You are deluded my guy,

Lol so many comments like this in every video I'm convinced he's got an army of bots

Indeed. It's a crystal clear straw man tactic he uses when he claims that supporters of Palestinian human rights are, in fact, HAMAS supporters who want the destruction of Israel. He can't even countenance the fact that there are so many people (including Jews and Israelis) who see both the evil of HAMAS and the Israeli government. The only reasonable conclusion is that Sam 'moral philosopher' Harris doesn't put much value on the life of Palestinians. Very sad.

Would it be antisemitic to blame Jews for this?

He is not alone speaking out about it There are more

In reality, who the hell are you talking about? To tell you the truth, i know many Muslims. In fact, i happen to be one. The truth to the problem are the Christians my friend, and all their #WhiteRinger friends. When you believe 1 man can be God, what's gonna' stop you from believing you're one too? Nothing! If you'd open your eyes, & think for yourself, you may begin to see the light. You've been manipulated all your life, and you can't tell the truth from a lie!

Although I agree, note that "the reality-based community" is a term from Jonathan Rauch's book which Sam discussed with him in the last podcast.

that would be the 3 man made religions in that area.

Sam is so far from reality it's crazy. But he's right that it's a clash of civilizations. The west is sinking fast as the east rises. That's reality. And it's a reality that beginning to steamroll due to the total incompetence of western leadership...

Sam is so far from reality it's crazy. But he's correct in calling the situation a clash of civilizations.

There's no wisdom here. It is shocking that he has swallowed Israeli propaganda whole. He needs to get outside of the Zioinist bubble and the media whitewash in order to find out the truth.

It's amazing to see the sizable number of Harris listeners on this page who immediately stopped listening to him as soon as he took up this topic. I looked at some of their other comments on his videos and it's very peculiar. They refuse to recognize the logical contradictions on their own views. Somehow, when its Israel, radical Islamists become freedom fighters to them. It's very hard to understand how they don't recognize the flaws in their own thinking. And I'm struggling to find any explanation other than "the Iranian / Palestinian propaganda machine is very effective" or "is it latent antisemitic bias that keeps then from actually listening to Israelis?"

Absolutely. You have summed it up well accurately.

Blaming innocent Palestinian civillians for their own slaughter is pretty victim-blamey.

Israel certainly is the victim of the Oct 7th attack by Hamas. They are however, (and more importantly I would argue) the perpetrator of an occupation, blockade, illegal settlements, consistent murder and control over a 2,000,000+ indigenous population. One could quite easily make the argument that Israel has been doing EXACTLY what Hamas did on Oct 7th, but more discreetly and over the span of the last 60+yrs. The evidence is out there, but one has to be willing to look.

The right side of history is never on the side of the oppressor. without understanding the imbalance of power, the illegal status of Israel’s 75 year occupation of Palestinian territory, and an understanding of centuries. You need to recalibrate your moral compass. Justifying the murder of children and an absurdly high civilian death rate as “urban wear warfare”, is straight from the Zionist propaganda talking points. Shame on you. Suggesting that this Hass to do with religion is proof you have absolutely no understanding of hundreds and nearly 1000 years of amicable relations between the Muslim and Jewish communities. Zionism is a colonial political ideology. If you don’t believe me do your research on what the original name was. Judaism is a beautiful religion that is intentionally conflated with a barbaric political ideology to insulated from criticism and accountability. Like all humans, Palestinians have the right to live free or die trying. international law afford this right to all humans, including Palestinians. Over 13,000 children have been murdered with our taxpayer dollars, over 7000 women have been murdered and over 80% of Palestinian civil infrastructure has been demolished. The suggestion that this has anything to do with a clash of civilizations and religious ideology is laughable. Kindergarten level research would have proven that even Christian and Jewish Palestinians are part of the resistance movement Determined to end the 75 year oppression of Palestinians. They will live free or die trying. In case you forgot, Mandela was also a terrorist, according to the apartheid state, trying to discredit him. the truth will prevail and as always, the right side of history will be on the side of the oppressed… Not the oppressor. Wake up.

lol.. it's nothing but exaggerated claims and lies

@@andrewgoldman9019 That 1984 story from the Iran/Iraq war is a lie? It is hardcore truth that sums up the barbarity of today's situation.

@@andrewgoldman9019 Ok, so it should be easy for you to pick a particularly egregious example. I'm waiting.

Unsurprising that "BitcoinMeister" has this level of unintelligence

Finkelstein is far more knowledgeable and intelligent. Where does Sam get his information? From Israeli lies and media propaganda.

He never would, Sam is a coward.

​@@micahjohnsonboxing6409 What more needs to be said about Norman Finkelstein; this is a man who famously declared “We are all Hezbollah,” thus explicitly identifying himself with an organization dedicated to killing Jews and eradicating the Jewish state. He questioned whether it is antisemitic to describe Jews as killers of Christ, a historically antisemitic accusation. - He suggested that the number of Holocaust victims should be open to “statistical, scholarly questions,” a view associated with Holocaust revisionists. And praised David Irving, a figure known for his Nazi sympathies and Holocaust denial. He referred to Irving as "a very good historian," even though Irving's claims were debunked in court, and his works were seen as providing support for far-right groups. Indeed, what more needs to be said!

@@micahjohnsonboxing6409Norman openly celebrated the October 7th terrorist attack right after it happened. He’s a dumbass and a weirdo. Oh and he backed out of debate with Destiny

Sam would get absolutely wrecked

People get the government they deserve. Either by innaction or by action.

Jewish supremacists from left and right, regardless of where they were born, are always ready to defend the diaspora.

😂

Nah. He's not left. More of a centrist. Check out Chris Hedges for a real left take

Not exclusively a Western scarcity, it's a human brain thing scarcity everywhere on everyone even if the levels of scarcity on that front may be higher in the West than say some places in the East, it is still not exclusively Western

In the East, they have a crystal moral clarity albeit the morality they are clear about is twisted, deranged subversive and absurd, but clear nevertheless. The West in the main is morally ambiguous specially on the left and thanks to that new craze of DEI and cultural relativism is getting worse. @@SDRDS96169

He's lacking a bit if he's comparing iraq and afghanistan to gaza. Specially iraq.

For what being an apologist tool to justify Israeli atrocities?

​@@jacksonrauch9429stay morally confused.

A few questions: 1. Does the Iranian population in general support israel? I see a lot of support from Persians outside of Iran but I'm not sure if that represents Iranians within Iran. 2. It seems like there's a people's uprising against the Islamic regime. Do you think they will succeed in overturning the government and putting another system in place? 3. Are you allowed unfiltered internet access there?

​@@yehudagreenfield Hey, all the big questions. HAHA - I'd say there is a huge support from inside Iran as well. However, you can't find people publicly expressing it for many reasons. The biggest one is the oppressive regime in Iran which bans all of that. I'm one of the supporters BTW, hope the war ends soon in favour of innocent people on both sides. If you read the history of relationships before the Islamic revolution, you will find out why there is a huge tie between Persians and Jews. and how the revolution ruined everything... - True, there have been movements inside Iran against the autocracy for decades. I'm certain that big change will happen one day, the new generations are far more informed, educated and smarter. They give me the hope of a better future for Iran and the region. - The internet is heavily filtered, I'm using a VPN system providing me with an Australian IP so I can access social media etc. Hope that info helps

Stay safe

@@majidjamili2157stay safe. Hope You‘ll get rid of your oppressors.

@@domsnow6418 thanks mate, we are pushing ... :) !

The trouble with most wannabe religious people no matter what confession is that they are self-righteous and sanctimonious hypocrites. They honor their God with their lips, but inside their hearts they are ugly, hatedriven and sanctimonious beasts. A breed of vipers.

IMHO and with a background in child psychology (studies), teaching, professional astrology leading to karmic astrology and then onto Buddhism, my answer to you is "yes," it is necessary to "shine light on" our Shadow side, that is, what we do not want to face about ourselves (we also have in our Shadow good things, but this is not the discussion here). I quote Jung : "When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate." This happens on an individual level and a collective level and because we live in the world of duality, there is good and evil and most of us are somewhere on this linear spectrum. I dare not write more here, but psychology, Jung and Jungian thought, art (poetry, writing, painting etc ), astrology (karmic astrology particularly), mysticism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hermeticism etc... show the way. I wrote about a linear spectrum, but our spiritual evolution is spiral (just to complicate things). Would love to write more and what you have written is absolutely true. @PhenomenalWorld

You just basically described me before 10/7 so I'm inclined to answer all of this with a 'yes.' Naivety. But 10/7 - and the immediate reaction from people whom I thought were just like me - changed me. Big time. Rose-colored glasses are off for me and I've spent the better part of 3 months examining and firming up my moral red lines. I wasn't even aware I had them. But I think there's a lot of people out there who are going through the same process, silently. Sam's courage to speak up here when mostly everyone is afraid to is very admirable.

@@JuliaGooliaOnGoogle There is another expression that might give you comfort : "The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable". I enjoyed reading you because that is exactly what happened to me to and my own transformation because of this is far from over.

Jihad happens, I gross behavior, but it happens when European jews invade Arab land.

@@C.E.Thomas1952 you wrote more than enough

*tiresome

A very disappointing perspective. He has swallowed Israeli propaganda whole. So sad.

He ain't that sane if he's using iraq as a comparisson. Does he knows bosnia was a thing?

​@@geralyned9530nah, did you even watch the video?

Unfortunately they all want to take as many infidels as possible with them to their non existing heavens

all man made religions are death cults for people afraid to die

I really hope your not serious? Giving them what they want is the worst thing we or anyone could do. It does not satiate it only encourages far worse behavior. I can give you plenty of examples. The biggest one is that Palestinians have been offered a state of their own at least five times and not only did they reject those offers but every single attempt at negotiations resulted in an attack on Israel. This makes complete sense when you understand the Islamist/Jihadist Mindset. They believe if you can be forced to the bargaining table that you can be defeated and they use things like cease fires and negotiation only to get respite and get back on their feet so they can attack again and also to judge what type of effect said attacks are having. Neither Hamas, Islamic Jihard, PLO or any other group give a damn about Palestinian civillians a bit they only care about how they can be used to attack Israel and so far the majority of those Palestinians see just fine with that.( Though there are also many who want Israel to get rid of Hamas for them they are simply to afraid to actually say so publlically.

Compare and contrast - The word עוֹלֵל, ʿôlēl which means 'Babe, infant, little one, a suckling' occurs 21 King James Bible Verses Of these verses: “Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.” -Psalm 137:9 “Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.” -1 Samuel 15:3 “Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD; I am weary with holding in: I will pour it out upon the children abroad, and upon the assembly of young men together: for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.” -Jeremiah 6:11 “Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.” -Hosea 13:16 The other verses are not much different. Infact it is always in association with violence. Indeed these verses are the reason why in the Crusades the sense of pious rejoicing at massacre does not appear to be the product of later theologizing; it is also found, in the account of the eye-witness Raymond of Aguilers: “in the Temple and porch of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins. Indeed, it was a just and splendid judgment of God that this place should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers, since it had suffered so long from their blasphemies.” In fact, Raymond continues, “This day, I say, will be famous in all future ages, for it turned our labours and sorrows into joy and exultation; this day, I say, marks the justification of all Christianity, the humiliation of paganism, and the renewal of our faith.” This is the polar opposite in the Quran in Surah Al-Tanwir, literally "The Englightenining" Surah, Aya 8-9, we have the death of a newborn is mentioned amongst the penultimate signs of the end of times, emphasizing the gravity of such an action. That child, now resurrected, is asked for what wrong doing was she murdered. This is to emphasize that she had done nothing wrong, for she had done nothing wrong and this is the day of retribution where those who omitted the evil are to be punished. This is the polar opposite in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190, which exhorts to fight unbelievers and not be "Aggressors", in the commentary of what it means to be aggressors, this was stated Al-Hasan Al-Basri stated that transgression (indicated by the Ayah): It is reported in the Two Sahihs that Ibn `Umar said, "The Prophet forbade killing women and children." بابتداء القتال أو بقتال من نهيتم عن قتاله من النساء والشيوخ والصبيان والذين بينكم وبينهم عهد أو بالمثلة أو بالمفاجأة من غير دع "To kill those whom you were forbidden to from women, elderly, children and those whom betwixt you is a treaty or custom or by surprise or without cause" -Tafsir Al-Zamakshari of the meaning of Aggressors in the Aya The modifiable testaments testament genocide on the other hand.Surah Al-Baqara Aya 190 limits war to those who fight against Muslims, prohibits transgression, and implies respect for human dignity and life Indeed it is what precedes the famous "sword verse", always cited out of context. God did bring down the Qur’an, Mohamed is his Messenger.

No heaven and no religion is called Soviet Union. Wasn't exactly an utopia.

Moral clarity? Good god! Sam has become so blinkered on this issue I barely recognise the man who I have grown to respect so much over the years. His(well placed) hatred of Islam has blinded him so much that he's arguing from such a one sided and morally dubious stand point
