Islam's Rise In America - Islamic Leader Explains 🇺🇸 

Interview actual Muslims and not Rafidites who only have an Islamic identity. Do a little bit of research before you spread false information.

These guys always claim to be peaceful and want unity when they’re being interviewed, but in reality they curse the companions of the Prophet peace be upon him, their RU-vid channel is full of it. They’re doing taqiya

Hey you could interview Omar Suleiman, sheikh uthman and many other scholars from mainstream Islam

Cool video man , I gave the video a like , Shia Islam started in Africa and was later introduced to Iran and Iraq and Azerbaijan . I'm not an expert on the subject but the fatiumd caliphate in Africa was Shia , don't fact check me but I think the first Shia Muslim nations were in Africa

Peter, it looks like a lot sectarian bigots and Islamophobic trolls have hijacked your comments page. Please ignore these hatemongers brother, you are doing a great job. God bless you.

@Mohammed D Both Iran and KSA aren't innocent. Leave the politics out of it. But I do share your concern regarding some of the beliefs that Shias hold. Especially believing in infallible Imams and making Tekfir/Nufaq on companions.

@Mohammed D in my opinion as a Sunni Muslim, the sect here is irrelevant. This Imam is telling the truth about Islam (misunderstood, believing in the Jewish and Christian Scriptures , etc) mentioned our Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW Let's forget about the politics for a second. Whether we're sunni, shia, ahmadi, etc...Muslims in general are all threatened, judged by those who are ignorant about Islam Allaahu Aalam Allah SWT knows best

@Mohammed D Regardless if he adheres to a minority Islamic ideology than the majority sunni Muslim people he is still Muslim it is not for us to judge him rather to inform them of the false teachings that they follow not condemn the actual individuals but to help guide them. This division is what ruins us and continues to devastate great nations & peoples alike

Patrick you are right dear friend your comment summarises the values & principles of Islam that majority of us Muslims abide by & strive for thank you. God bless you

@Mohammed D What are you talking about? Associating partners with Allah is disbelief in Islam, calling upon Hussain (ra) is shirk.

i am happy that you liked the video brother. I am a muslim and if you have any burning questions lol, let me know.

@@shahzaibsansi7848 Thank you my brother, I truly appreciate that.. It's not so much that I have questions. It's mostly just a blessing to have an insight into what the majority/everyday Muslim life is like, and practice of religion.. Also I loved what the son had to say about how we are all part of the same religion, growing up with a somewhat Christian Foundation it was really nice to hear that, especially because I have not heard that from my own pastor's, which to me is sad.. It's not so much that I was raised not to love a specific person/ideology, but one can't help sometimes adopting preceptions of another, that you absorbed in day-to-day life that are completely false.. Everything that I have seen so far shows me that it is a beautiful religion, and way of life.. Plus it is so sad to see how a few bad apples, can suppress the truth so well.. So once again thank you my friend for responding I really appreciate that, and God be with us all..

Sorry to disappoint you this series is misleading because the author is mostly interviewing Shias (Rafidah) if you add them to the muslim population they would be only 10% of the population Most of them reside in Iran there is no other country completely Shia the next one is Iraq that has like less than half of the population Shia I hope you go somewhere else to get information about islam

Glad you used the word mainstream and not the word correct. Mainstream does not equal correct

Quran (9:29): “Fight against Christians and Jews until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.” Quran (5:51): “Don’t take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.” Quran (2:65-66): “Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.” Quran (5:51): “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” Quran (9:30): "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

The video three stages of Jihad by David Wood on RU-vid is very informative.

@@vijaymenon5738 I love when folks post these verses as stand alone but ignore the context before and After these verses and what took place during that time. Muslims paid zakat every week. They paid Saadakah as well mandated service in the military when drafted. Muslims had to give away goods they haven’t used in one year to the needy. Non Muslims living under the protection of Muslims Sultanate did NOT have to serve. They could volunteer if they like and many Sultanate had Jewish Generals. 1 even had a Jewish a Vazir which is a very powerful rule. Like a Being head of the state department. None Muslims held their own courts. No one stopping them from drinking, eating pork, and living their lives. We didn’t force convert folks historically but we did incentivize it by freeing them early from war bonds if they teach 10 people to read. Military promotions were faster naturally, and those looking to marry none Muslim women if they wanted. The events of the verse have direct historical context to several peace treaties routinely broken. Not everyone broke those treaties many Jewish and Christian tribes kept their word and they were fine. Many pagan Arabs couldn’t be trusted no further than you could throw them. Just constantly back stabbing when ever they could. Proof of which is what happened to Muhammad grandsons and their families. Proof more is what happened to the 1st 4 leaders once Muhammad pbuh died. This is why these post fall short and Muslims are better than most at history of all faiths because the culture built in reading more than just a random verse here and there. So many of you have a very limited understanding of your own biblical history and even weaker with Islam

@@vijaymenon5738 Muhammed SAW best friend was Jewish.

There are absolutely no similarities between Christianity and Islam at all. I'm not hating them, but their religion teaches hate and uses it as a weapon against other religions. Wherein Jesus taught about love and respect for others, even to the extent of loving our enemies.

To tell you the truth, Muslims have high regards for the Jews(known as People of the Book in Qur’an). People misunderstood that we are against Jews when we oppose practices of Zionists or Zionism.

@@iamhusain94 🙏🏻

@@iamhusain94 That's not completely true though. Most Muslim opposition to "Zionism" is because of opposition to Jews having their own homeland. Why aren't you against other nationalities having their own homeland but against Jews having ours? Anyway how can Muslims claim to be following the Prophets of the Torah when those Prophet's spoke (from G-D's word) that Israel will return to its land?

@@TagMahirTzedek Jews don’t own the land. Before 1947 Israel wasn’t a thing and the land always belonged to Palestine. Palestinians have lived there for centuries and we have no problem with the Jews getting there own land. But when you want to force the Muslims out to form your own country then there’s a problem. I believe in a 2 state solution as long as Palestine gets Jerusalem.

@@dvh_voltz9761 Jews do own the land. Before 1947 their wasn't any "palestine". No such county. No such people. And you claiming Jerusalem says it all. How can you claim to follow the Prophets when they spoke of the Temple being rebuilt in Jerusalem and Jews returning back to the land of Israel and Jerusalem?

Yes that's true!

I feel that Shias being a minority in all muslim countries except Iran and Azerbaijan are somewhat more flexible and open to differences of opinions and beliefs. Of course, this doesn't extend to Shias in Iran where being a strong majority allows them to go down hard on all religious dissenters. Being a majority tends to make bullies of people.

@@sir_humpy coming from a shia muslim, we have a different perspective towards "how islam is applied". We are more tolerant to "non-self" than other sects. Even in iran, were the majority are shia, they are more tolerant and open than people from other sects. And even historically we are different. For example, we do not legitimize any "so-called muslim empire" like ummayids, ottomans etc..", and we condemn every actions they ever made. We were even slaughtered and massacred for the last 14 hundred years, by the sect that has been in control over the muslim world. This and for many other reasons, make us share the feeling of survival with non-muslims.

@@lucifer9880, yep, you make sense. If you'll allow me an ignorant point of view of a person who's never been to Iran, I can't help feeling that strictly from a religious perspective the revolution of '79 was a setback in terms of religious freedoms and liberties.

@@sir_humpy it was indeed a major change in terms of freedoms. However, it is what the majority of Iranians want. I would add that it is more of a system, than it is of a religion when speaking of the Iranian regime. For example, many Iranians want the regime, but wish for it to be more liberal. So its about the regime not the sect itself.

Ask about the lack of Islamic coinage in cities that were supposedly ruled by early "Muslims"? There was no distinct Muslim identity during the formative years of Islam as we are told today. Most of the history is complete BS, without corroboration and seeks only to promote their false narrative.

Qur'an 2:191-Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them. Qur'an 3:28 Muslims must not take the infidels as friends. Qur'an 3:85- Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable. Qur'an 8:12 Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures Qur'an 8:60- Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels. Qur'an 8:65- The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them. Qur'an 9:5 When opportunity arises, kill the infidelswherever you catch them. Qur'an 9:123- Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood. Qur'an 22:19 Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies. Qur'an 47:4- Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them.

Ive been to Qatar and Kuwait , but i never felt unsafe in America

Qatar and Kuwait are first world Muslim countries and first world Muslim countries are safest in the world. You can sleep with $1m cash with door opened no one will touch your money!

Yes but what about those that know that Christ has risen and that he is Lord, how could they ever accept that Islam teaches he’s only a prophet and is buried in the ground somewhere, they lie about the Lord divinity , anyone that openly denies the Lord the Lord will denied him as well. So it’s not necessarily about those who believe in Christ respecting Muslims it’s more Muslim should respect the fact that Christ has risen and christians don’t believe in the last prophet being Muhammad. Some people don’t believe that Islam is an extension of Christianity and that they were going to bring about the real alpha and omega. Christians are waiting for the antichrist to come first and then our Lord will come…

There’s freedom in America, because we have so many people that trust in the Lord. So thanks be to God💯💯💯 there’s a reason why people don’t feel safe in Muslim countries even Muslims don’t feel safe.

Iranian or Shiite Islam is not the true Islam that Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, brought, as it came about 300 years after the death of the Prophet. A mixture of Persian and Indian fire worship, Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Basically this world depends on the sanctification of humans and they believe that there are 12 holy Imams Whoever wants true Islam should return to the Noble Qur’an and the Muhammadan Sunnah before Persian Iran enters Islam and mixes with other ancient religions of the peoples of the region

@Jay Oh thank you we must show the truth. Don’t let them fool you. Ask them about sharia, jizya(tax on Christians). Who is going to come in the end time Mohammed or Jesus?

@@frankkatsenis3812 I reckon this video was created specially for ignorant non-Muslims like you. Whats is the big fuss it has not been sharia is not being forced upon you, the Jews have their mosaic law from the Old Testament , which is actually more significantly violent that the sharia law. If you took your time to read or converse with Muslims you’d not only know what JIZYA is but it’s purpose. In a land where Sharia Law is implemented, a form of tax is paid by non-Muslims called Jizya (as you know). Interestingly Women whether Christian/Jew, children, elders, disabled, the insane, monks, visitors, poor, military men, or hermits are all EXEMPTED from paying Jizya. The ONLY people that pays are able bodied men. Before you start complaining “oh that’s unfair that non Muslims must pay”, did you know Muslims pay too, it’s called ZAKAT. Zakat is a broad term it doesn’t only refer to 1of 5 pillars of Islam, which is pay 2.5% of annual wage, if there’s an Islamic state muslims MUST also pay a percentage to the government just like the non Muslims (Jizya) as it is a religious obligation unlike Jizya isn’t for the non Muslims, so in order to make it even between both parties non Muslims must pay Jizya just like the Muslims are paying ZAKAT. Both parties must pay not, just 1. If a Muslim refuses they could go to jail. Why do they pay? Just like taxes today the gov uses the money to fund services just like healthcare, or military protection or education. It would be unfair if Muslims are the ones paying and then non Muslims are in Islamic states enjoying the bounties, the Muslims would be at a disadvantage not the non Muslims like you make it seem. The money collected is also used for old age pension, funding for the disabled, and to the very poor to stop them from begging. Plus the Antichrist is called the anti CHRIST not anti MUHAMMED air anti MOSES, there a reason why he has to come not the Prophet Muhammad, in case you didn’t know Muslims believe in Jesus, his second coming and love him more than our parents. You can’t disprove Muhammad in aim that you make Jesus look good, cause we believe in both EQUALLY, you could pull it off with Jews or Hindus cause they don’t believe in Jesus.

The holiest Christian churches in the middle East in Palestine where Jesus preached are still the same. The Christians had the rights to practice their religion for over 1400yrs to now. You would think Muslims oppressed Christians if you watch the media propaganda.

Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Matthew 26:39 -If Jesus is god or god himself, why would he fall on his face and pray to god? Why would Jesus pray to God to save him from the cup? Jesus says it is your (god) will, not mine. 12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. Luke 6:12 -If Jesus is god or god herself, why would she go up to the mountain to pray and pray to god all night ...??? 7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Hebrews 5:7 -For Christians, if Jesus is god or god herself, why should she pray to God, who has the power to save her from death, with great cries and tears ... ??? THİNK! JESUS İS NOT GOD Christians do not believe in the book they wrote, they say that Jesus is not a man and a prophet, but a god... The Bible is a book full of contradictions. THİNK!

Quran (9:29): “Fight against Christians and Jews until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.” Quran (5:51): “Don’t take Jews or Christians for friends. If you do, then Allah will consider you to be one of them.” Quran (2:65-66): “Christians and Jews must believe what Allah has revealed to Muhammad or Allah will disfigure their faces or turn them into apes, as he did the Sabbath-breakers.” Quran (5:51): “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” Quran (9:30): "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!"

@@vijaymenon5738 you are a Hindu can't understand what is the truth you are being blinded

Correct. Jews/Hebrews and Muslims/Islam are indeed come from the same father, Abraham. Just one was born out of wedlock and the other born within a covenant. Ishmael born from the maidservant, and Issac born from the wife. Ishmael is the people Islam, and Issac, the Hebrews/Jews. Nothing complicated.

Most americans do not know that Islamic country like pakistan does not even allow non-muslims to fight in elections for prime minister or president. In afghanistan, sikh people are being forced out, America and europe give rights to everyone and islamists misuse these rights, also americans have become over-kind. America could be islamist fundamentalist country like pakistan and afghanistan within 60 to 70 years. Americans need to read and research thoroughly, do not blindly believe what people tell you about their religion. Most people tell only nice things about there comunity and religion and hide the laws of their religion against non-believers.

@@sircc7343 I believe this is why Peter continuously disclaims that all stories he reports on are from the perspective of the people involved and those alone he never claims that what is being said relates to every single person within that faith/culture . He does his best to educate using the resources available to him. He is never going to get it perfect. I appreciate the views and perspectives that he give to us as without those we would be completely blind.

@@shawnm2405 I agree that the war had a huge influence on the mindset, but I wouldn't say all that I wrote is bollocks. You see, it also applies to many young people, who are not exactly directly affected by the war, nor were their parents or even grandparents in a lot of cases. The war also doesn't explain why there's sudden slamophobia towards the Tatars who are completely Polish, and have been in Poland since 1600 or even earlier. And I don't believe that an elderly lady went out there and spray painted a pig on a mosque. I'm just speaking from my experience and what I hear amongst people in Poland. I see what happens in Polish media and what Polish people protest in the streets. War is not the excuse for being racist and islamophobic.

@@leszydelko you display weakness and make it easier for the poles to be exploited. Why bring war upon the land again?

Kufr simply means a veil on eyes not allowing to see belief in God. Some Muslims may have hatred with westerners because their country was destroyed but other than that, Muslims live peacefully with other non Muslims and this is what the Quran invites to…

I suggest you look into the Traditionalist school. There's more to the unity of religions than one would think, up to a transcendent level.

You're no real hindu. A real hindu knows about pakistan and their malicious schemes to take back (parts of) india.

As a muslim all my closet friends are Hindus, never had any issues at all, they respect me and i respect them. Thats how the world should proceed.

There are no good nor bad Muslims. The entire religion is extreme and unsuited to the twenty-first century. In their Koran, Muslims are instructed to act politely when they are the minority, and this is exactly what we observe in this interview. To call it a religion would be a grave understatement. What Islam represents and what everyone needs to know. It is a militia cult philosophy that, to name a few things, encourages bigotry, supremacism, the exploitation of women and children, the restriction of free thought, servitude, and living off of others. Islam's past is marred by violence, extortion, enslavement, conflict, pillage, and devastation, all of which persist today.

@@scr3am273 but it never does. The day Christians and Muslims stop proselytizing covertly or overtly peace will prevail unless it's just empty words, I hear such good warm felt words only when they are in minority and i am not saying this as any kind of prejudice belief. Peace can prevail only when the power is balanced and now hindus have no power apart from a demographics by their side.I hope that hindus get their own nation , a hindu rashtra so that they can be safe.

Well said

What are you talking about, Western society is rooted in the tribal principle, especially in the USA! What do you think is a Democratic camp and a Republican camp? Isn't that a tribal division for you? The whole nation is divided on the principle of who belongs to which tribe and ideology? The entire Western socio-political system is based on the tribal principle! Just look at the tribal loyalty and and the sense of belonging between leftists and rightists, between socialists and capitalists, etc. The problem in the world is that people have no knowledge of the things they talk about and make decisions about!

I believe the difference is that American muslims are Americans first who practice the religion of Islam while in Europe, Muslim immigrants still identify as Muslims first before the nationality of their host country. This creates conflict and segregation.

@@ericlind6581 absolutely, the 'generational racism' in europe is extreme

@@ayoubzahiri1918 I think it’s also the fact that the concept of being “American” as opposed to being “French” or “German” is much less rigid. In The US, you live how you want so long as you obey the laws and don’t bother others. It’s not that way in Europe. Unlike you, there are many Muslims who are not proud of their host country there and that creates friction. As important a religion may be on an individual level, the nation must come first in my opinion.

Welcome to Islam, my brother. Tell me, in the name of the sect I entered?

its not racism, racism is based on race not religion/ideology.

Thanks for the kind comments Rabbi. However many of your most eminent Rabbis have confirmed the truth of Islam. Unfortunately our Jewish brothers are known for their stubbornness. I've had discussions with many and they literally said we rarely change our ways or beliefs even if proven wrong. May God Guide you.

Hi Eileen, Glad to know you are interested to be friend with a muslim. Thats a wonderful wish to ask. Please always keep in mind. When you are wishing to be friend with a muslim, you are talking about one of us 2 billion people who living across the globe. That demographic spread across different nations, cross culture, language, social class, etc. Imagine what a potential in value that could be. wether its in a form of meaningful friendship, economic partnership, cross culture learning. It could be something whatever that could make our life more meaningful. Also, please keep in mind, that not all muslim are good. We admit theres bad apples among us. So, always be sceptic about what we about to tell you, even if somehow you managed to connect with us. Always use your critical thinking when you listen to us. You can be friend with one of us and we gladly welcome you. And I cant wait to hear whats story do you have too! You'll be surprised if you come to our place and find out how much we love americans. About your question of women oppression, yea.. we can discuss about that. The line we draw here is how we could be part of solution, not the problem. More or less 1 in 5 people in this world are muslim. The odds looks good on you. 😊 Best regards, from one of your potential muslim friend. in Bali, Indonesia. May peace be upon you.
