Lecturer: Prof. Am. Bernard Lewis, Prinston University. The Mortimer and Raymond Sackler Institute of Advanced Studies, The Moshe Dayan Center, Tel Aviv University 25/1/07
In light of the Abraham Accords, his comments at the end of the lecture (made in 2007) now look extraordinarily prescient. Irrespective of that, he was one of the greatest historians of the region and there's been no one else, yet, to fill his place now that Fouad Ajami is gone.
لطائف لغوية في قول الله تعالى: ومن يتوكل على الله فهو حَسْبُه و في قوله حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل، حَسْبُه: هي الكفاية، أي كفاه الله في أمر دينه ودنياه، والتوكل: هو الإعتماد والثقة. 🕋 #رمضان_كريم
"it is better to be prosecuted than to be totally insignificant" you are so amazing that's the top wisdom that turn suffering to power many think Jews are money!? but their poor conscience blind them from seen wisdom and experience worldwide as a prosecuted refugee which make them more aware about what's going on in the world more than others I think that the law of nature will choose them to be as a world leader not by coincidence but by purpose to defeat our divergence toward harmony...thank you Dr. I learn from you
All you have to do is read about him in wikipedia or any other encyclopedia and find out that i'm not lying. Saying blah is the best way to avoid dealing with the facts. I hope some day you will stop ignoring the facts and maybe than we can have a real discussion.
Bernard left our world in a state that he had exactly wished: the Middle East, Arab countries that is to say, Syria and Iraq in particular, are in war that entirely ripped and torn them apart; Iran sanctioned and isolated; Israel more virulent, more belligerent than ever--with Jerusalem recognized as its capital. Well, except that Turkey is no longer the Turkey Bernard once enamored.
This just the difficult time and Islam always come back , look what happen during the crusades which lasted more than 150 years and look what happened during the mongol which lasted another 150 years. It the individual Muslim population that defeated the mongols not the Muslims armies and Islam won the heart the mind on Mongol and came out of mongol era with twice the geographical expansion with no battles. When Islam comes back , usually is comes back with new forms that is adaptable to era it is living in not by reinventing the history. Islam always come back strange to era that lives in , exactly as starred very strange.
Yup Mr.Lewis was an absolute warmonger always advancing massacres & not a brilliantly measured treasured diamond of a man. I genuinely pity how twisted your most essential views must be
I wonder why only academics talk like this but rest whether they Jews , Muslims and Christians,when u r listening like this old guy you would think that there is no such difference and if it could be easily solved.
Examine the old testament where Abram had two sons by Sara n Hagar. Ishmael n Isaac of which two distinct Nations grew out of . Now here's the kicker , that Mohammed refused to mention is that Hagar was the first women to receive a blessing from YHWH . Also the descendants of Ishmael's had a blessing and warning from YHWH n which he said that the descendants of Ishmael would serve the descendants of Issac aka the Hebrews the second is that God said that the descendants of Ishmael would always be @ war w everyone wherever they go. Now as to the dietary laws shared by the two cousin's. The Hebrew's will not impose their personal dietary laws upon the Gentile's whereas the islamist will kill you once they are a majority and they will either murder you or enslave you. So in hind sight islam is not a religion but only an ideology that's solely bent on global hegemony . This is where the speaker gets it wrong. He should quote the old testament of which millions of Christians read and study enough to know these truths so we do not share our opinions but God's Word.
