We've all heard of the famous verse, "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (Q 2:256). In this video, we're going to explore the work of the late Patricia Crone, an early historian of Islam, who explains what this verse meant in its original context... and how medieval Muslim exegetes manipulated its meaning in order to enforce religion.

Very interesting. Crone's article is even summarised on the Wikiislam page about this verse. You might be even more interested to know Javad that you are cited extensively on the wikiislam page for jihad? (Jihad in Islamic Law page). It was mentioned in a deleted reddit post yesterday that it has been rewritten recently. The introduction sections on a bunch of related pages listing verses and hadiths and the pages listing killings and expeditions attributed to Muhammad have also been amended to mention modernist and academic views on the sources.

Great analysis. But i would've liked Dr. Javad to discuss in more details about apostate killings found in hadith narrations which directly contradicts Quran(2:256 and others).

Same rulings in the Thora and absolute compatible with the religion of liberalism.

Great video. Looking forward to reading your (future) article you mentioned in the video.

The Romans first persecuted Christians for their belief. It all matters when and who gets into positions of power, then the messages for and by men change ie: Surah (9;29) -Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Hey Dr Hasmi, I just finished watching your debate with Robert Spencer but I need to ask since it was blight up in the debate, is his book on the history of jihad a reliable source of Islamic expansion?

@DrJavadTHashmi Жыл бұрын

Definitely not. Nothing that man writes is reliable.

@@DrJavadTHashmi Can you give me an example as reference as an error in his history of jihad book, as for some reason I can’t find many negative reviews online but again no serious academic really bothers with his stuff and it’s mostly to right winger conservatives who need validation against Islam.

@@satckaferdan4318 Asadullah Ali back then highlighted errors in his book. I have seen some of his arguments on other matters. His book on did Muhammad exist is an absolute disaster and his lack of knowledge on Islamic sources is embarrassing. Don’t read his works. Waste of time. The guy is too arrogant as well.

@@satckaferdan4318 , read Ian D. Morris' article on Robert Spencer's book. He completely dismantles Spencer, and demonstrates some of his more egregious errors. Morris' website appears to be defunct now, but that particular article can be found on the Archive site. The title is "Misspelling Muhammad: Why Robert Spencer is wrong about Thomas Presbyter".

She has been debunked by countless historians. And her sources are are based on the accounts of non Muslims who were and are hostile to Islam. If you think Muslims are going to learn history of Islam from an orientalist, who you claim to be "a historian of early Islam" when she died in 2015, then you're just as lost as her.
