I'm not religious, so I can't answer your question. But I do have input--"something to say to that"--as someone with disdain for all religions, cults, and pre-defined systems of morality.

"The Jews" (retardedly enough generalized completely, just as all muslims are, militant extremist and peaceful progressive undifferentiated) may not have blown up any German coffee shops or burned down churches--but Israel does some truely fucked up shit to its Arab neighbors and has probably claimed a lot more non-combatant lives than all the muslim anti-jew terrorism has in the past few years, are responsible for a good deal of fucked up shit globally that you don't and won't ever know about, and engineered the global understanding of their "tradgedy" a few years before it happened.

She definately has an Islamophobia problem. She's talking about how Muslims force others to convert, that's total bullshit. Muslims invite others to their religion, if they refuse, then so be it. Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together in harmony in Jerusalem under Islamic rule, and the Crusaders came along and butchered the Jews and Muslims many times.

But when she's talking about the Muslim's old civilisation, she doesn't seem to understand that the Muslim's way of life was taken away from them, their land carved by Britain and France, and their Muslim leaders replaced with false Muslim puppets of the West. That's a lot of people pissed off.

Yes, a lot of Jewish scientists helped with advancement in the 19th and 20th centuries, but who was doing all the research while Christian Europe was burning witches? Oh yeah, MUSLIMS. Put people in their preferred environment, and they will prosper. Jews probably wanted money and freedom so they can do as they please without suffering by the hands of others, they got it and they did advance and progress in good ways. Muslims can do the same, but not a single real Muslim country exists today, so how do you expect them to prosper with such bullshit leaders? Egypt is fucked, they don't allow Qur'anic teaching is school, how can this happen in a Muslim country? The Saudi government is the most corrupt "Muslim" family on Earth. Half of them are alcoholics and some of them are homosexual, yet these people are implementing a bastardised version of Islamic Law.

I think when they say Jewish they mean the west in general in which case she is right about modern science, but if she is referring to just ethnic jews then that's way off.

She is obviously smarter than anyone else in that video, especially that moronic dude whos only response was that she is a heretic. Yeah calling someone a heretic is real 21st century behavior. He just proved her point.

I think she had some good things to say that people in the middle east should hear from their own people. Not that they are the devils or anything and not that Israelis are all good or anything. But she reminds me of people inside the US that ridicule some of our questionable foreign relations and strategies. It's always good to look at your own nation first and see how you can change yourself before your look outward. If every nation did this from a secular, humanistic point of view I think it would improve relations around the world.

Overwhelmingly European. A few Jewish scientists? What an accomplishment! Well done Einstein, you paved the way to Nuclear weaponry!

What research? Some of you people seem to forget Europe was almost solely responsible for technological revolution, espeically the British (industrial revolution).

Cut out this politically-correct nonsense.

Does anyone else feel that the Middle-East had been ignored by the rest of the world from roughly the 1800s-1945?

Islam is a religion of peace. It is submission to the will of God. A true Mussalman must be tolerant. Islam teaches that EVERY religion is true. Islam teaches that God has sent Prophets and religious teachers to mankind to bring them to the path of goodness, to teach them the noble things of life, to be kind, to be noble, to be merciful, to be good and to be just. Islam teaches to regard not only human beings with kindness and tolerance, but also to treat animals with kindness.

Islam doesnt just invite others to our way of life, they respect other religions.. and encourage people to believe in god.

The extreme crazy muslims and terrorists shouldnt what everybody focuses on.
