Why is Islam so sensitive? - Cosmic Skeptics Why does Islam have to be so sensitive to criticism? - Why is there something wrong with us if we get offended by something? Why is it so sensitive that we have to defend ourselves against it?
00:00:44.140Yes, that's correct. Not only does it encourage you to read, it tells you how many verses you've read, how many pages you've read, how long you've been on it, and best of all, the Hassanah counter.
00:00:52.600Download the Qur'ani app now and have a Ramadan with Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's book like you've never had before.
00:00:57.260Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, brothers and sisters and dear friends, hope you guys are well, inshallah.
00:01:01.040Now, the question you guys are going to be asking is, Brother Ali, what are you dressed up for?
00:01:04.720Is that a marriage? Is there a party? A halal one, of course.
00:01:10.640It's better than a party and better than a marriage.
00:01:12.700Because we know, when we go to these parties or marriages, you know, if someone's getting married, free food, alhamdulillah, you're having fun.
00:01:18.480It's going to be greater than that, it's going to taste better than that, brothers and sisters, inshallah.
00:01:21.560Whatever you get served in your marriage events.
00:01:24.320Anyways, guys, so this is going to be a reply to Cosmic Skeptics' video titled, Why is Islam so sensitive?
00:01:31.420What we're going to do, brothers and sisters, as you guys know, a dehumidifier dehumidifies the humidity in the air.
00:01:37.400I'm going to be dehumidifying the intellectual dishonesty and corruption in the air.
00:01:46.460And we're going to go through this one by one, step at a time, nice and slowly.
00:01:51.200And we're going to see that, how his double standards and his hypocrisy.
00:01:56.240Yeah, not just him, many people like him.
00:01:59.040But before I start the video, I just want to make something and I want to raise awareness to it.
00:02:02.900If you guys remember Cosmic Skeptic, after his debate with Mohammed Hijab, you know, his kind of went a bit downhill, you know, intellectually.
00:02:10.440We know what that debate was and how it went.
00:02:11.880And he turned to doing videos about veganism and he can do whatever he likes on his channel.
00:02:16.680You know, he turned to veganism and talking about this and that, etc.
00:02:19.340And I think he's even a vegan himself.
00:02:21.160Now, today I was watching a video on veganism.
00:02:23.440I just wanted to know what impact it has on the body when you stop eating meat.
00:02:26.740Because I had to make a correlation between his pathetic video and I had to make some kind of excuses for him.
00:02:33.620What caused him to make such a pathetic, ridiculous video?
00:02:51.340So what I saw was that in the first couple of weeks, yeah, first couple of weeks, let alone not eating for eight months or one year, yeah, which Cosmic Skeptic hasn't, I'm assuming.
00:02:59.740It says that vitamin B12 and iron, which helps make red blood cells and transport oxygen through the body is affected because vitamin B12 and iron helps oxygen to go throughout the body because it makes up their blood cells.
00:03:12.160So the only excuse I could come to is that not only was there deficiency of B12, vitamin B12 and iron in his video, it was also deficient in his body because a lack of oxygen being sent to the brain may have caused him to do this video.
00:03:25.400This is the only excuse I could have come with because I couldn't understand and fathom how he could dare, dare, I mean, how silly can you be to make such a bold statement and bold statements that come with bold refutations like this video?
00:03:36.600Why is Islam, seemingly more than any other religion, at least at the moment, so sensitive to criticism and mockery?
00:03:44.480That's a bold statement. That's a very big bold statement. I need to bring evidence to that, that Islam is the only religion or only way of life that is so sensitive.
00:03:54.820After all, if I made a video asking why Jews react so violently and intensely to criticism, you'd probably ask, what am I talking about, and demand some examples.
00:04:05.240It's telling, then, that I don't need to give you any examples of Islamic overreaction because you've already thought of some.
00:04:12.300So here's his premise. The premise is the following, guys, yeah? He's mentioned, if he mentioned the Jews or, argument's sake, another group of people or religion, whatever, in the background, whatever it may be, that he would have to find examples to give you to make sense.
00:04:26.080But when it's Islam, we all know, the moment he mentioned that, we all had a hundred things coming into our mind.
00:04:32.380Okay, so let me get this right, guys, and tell me if I'm right or wrong, and I believe this is absolute fallacious reasoning, yeah?
00:04:37.280If I target, argument's sake, Chinese people, systematically and continuously, I target them over and over and over again, and I provoke them, I desecrate their scripture, I mock their religion, or whatever it may be, right?
00:04:54.480Okay, and as an atheist, they're atheists as well, imagine, you know, you're called Chinese, how strict they are, yeah, when it comes to free speech, yeah?
00:05:02.740They didn't even, at one point, they banned Winnie the Pooh, Pooh, Winnie the Pooh, yeah, because it was mocking the president or something like that, yeah?
00:05:10.280Anyways, so imagine I systematically attack, and when they are provoked, and some of them that, let's say there's a group of them that choose to ignore, majority of them,
00:05:18.240Some of them insult back, and some of them get violent, and try to kill me, yeah?
00:05:22.400And then I go, see guys, look how sensitive the Chinese are!
00:05:26.720Now, how is that fair, when you're systematically only attacking the Chinese?
00:05:30.260Have you experimented with the Japanese? Have you experimented with the Americans?
00:05:34.620Have you experimented with the people in the United Kingdom?
00:05:37.300Have you experimented with the Moroccans?
00:05:38.880Have you experienced, I mean experimented, done a case study with all these groups to come to the conclusion that we've done the same thing to everybody,
00:05:47.480all of them in the past century, and only the Chinese were acting like this?
00:11:10.720Made from more than 200 pounds of milk chocolate and standing six feet tall.
00:11:13.840But after a group of Catholics called the work a sickening display and the artists received death threats.
00:11:19.480And Roger Smith Hotel, which houses a gallery, shut down the show, causing Matt Selma, the gallery's creative director, to submit his resignation.
00:11:28.680The Catholic League also said the work was one of the worst assaults on Christian sensibilities ever.
00:13:47.200They called the play insulting the Christian and vowed to wage a war that no one will forget.
00:13:52.840Against its production, President William O'Donnell sent a letter to numerous public officials demanding an immediate halt on public monies that support the Manhattan Theatre Club.
00:14:04.300A group called itself the National Security Movement of America made telephone fests against the Jew guilty homosexual Terrence McNally.
00:14:11.260The message went on, because of you, we will exterminate every member of the theatre and burn the place to ground.
00:14:19.060I'm sure Christians won't do that, will they?
00:14:21.860Why is Islam so sensitive, isn't it, Cosme?
00:14:23.460Anyway, as a result of these threats and demands, transatlantic, transworld airlines and of the corporate sponsors of MTC withdrew its financial support.
00:14:33.060On May 21st, the Manhattan Theatre Club announced that it was cancelling its production of the play due to their concerns for security.
00:14:39.540after anonymous threats of violence to the theatre and itself.
00:14:43.680Christians would never do that, will they?
00:15:41.620And because of that, because of that, you email him, and here's the emails, asking him to take it down.
00:15:48.700You, my gosh, you are damn sensitive, aren't you?
00:15:51.840Yeah, and not only that, if you think about it, if we go to your hometown, Oxford, education secretary slams absurd cancelling of the Queen's as students at Oxford Magdalene College vowed to take down unwelcoming portrait of the monarch from graduates.
00:16:06.860Common room because she represents recent colonial history.
00:16:10.080There was an uproar about that from your city, mate, so I don't know what the hell are you talking about?
00:16:14.060Here we go, for example, making fun mockery of Prince Philip in animated satire.
00:16:49.120Before I go, I do want to stress that I really don't like when people go out of their way to insult or offend people just for the sake of it.
00:16:56.520It's uncivilised, it's unhelpful, and it's morally condemnable.
00:17:00.060But I don't criticise Islam just for the sake of it.
00:17:03.440I criticise Islam because it threw the first punch by demanding my obedience and threatening me with hellfire for non-compliance.
00:17:10.620Like I said before, I don't know if you've studied Islamic studies, which you told Sabur you was going to, but you definitely are getting a damn F.
00:17:16.980If I was your teacher, I have to be your teacher in this very instance because you have no damn knowledge about Islam, I would give you a flipping F.
00:19:37.620If you're walking with your mum and I walk past you, there's going to be no problem between us.
00:19:43.160If I walk past your mum and say, hi, madam, and she says, hi, sir, there'll be no problem between us two.
00:19:48.400If your mum is a public figure and she does things which I have deemed to be wrong,
00:19:52.120by the way, I don't know which, on what moral base as an atheist you're coming with to deem anything to be right or wrong, by the way, yeah?
00:19:58.660Okay, and you are, by the way, a hardcore determinist, yeah?
00:20:00.900I don't even know how you can even blame Muslims to be sensitive because you believe it was determined, you know?
00:20:04.440You're a hardcore determinist, you know?
00:20:06.180So what they did is out of their hand.
00:20:08.220So I don't even know why you can't even do the video.
00:21:59.940Was it not Muhammad himself who burst into the Kaaba after his military conquest of Mecca and destroyed every idol of pagan worship at the site?
00:22:09.500Why should you expect me to adhere to or even respect your blasphemy laws prohibiting me from so much as drawing the prophet when that same prophet himself was so blasé in the destruction of non-Islamic religious symbols?
00:22:22.660Well, this is absolutely nonsense as well because at the end of the day, the Kaaba was free from idol worship.
00:22:46.500So, that is different to a conquest and after that conquest, people come in and deem in, for example, this is blasphemous and getting rid of those stuff.
00:22:56.780Like, for example, when the rulership, Islamic rulership took over Egypt, they didn't get rid of these statues and stuff like that.
00:23:01.780Yeah, even though some of them see them as deities, they didn't come and destroy them.
00:23:43.780Islam is, be sure, when you debated Mohammed Hijab and Abdullah and Lucy, you knew what time it is.
00:23:50.140You knew and you know how strong Islam is with its literature, with our traditions and with the truth that hundreds and thousands of people are coming to Islam in the Western world, especially women.
