here because of Hamza tzortzis

Zara Faris is an excellent speaker.

55:19 Sister Zara's reply here about the topic of Caliphate is inspirational. I think most of the young generation of Muslims have lost touch with the importance of the unification of Muslim world and the Caliphate.

Are these debates open to public? If so, where can I find details of the up coming events and venues

Sister just cleared the ground with her extensive speech

Zara Faris - "Muslims face censorship on discussing our beliefs" - Huh??? 5minutes earlier Peter gave you an opportunity to express your beliefs but you all declined.

The issue is that if people don't take the time learn about any "way of life," instead they go on with their life thinning bad about other ways of life. Not all Muslims are bad. Not all atheist or Jews or Christians or Buddhist etc are bad. Take the time to learn about other people different from your own.

I beg you, please put subtitle for all your video....

Someone, please make subtitle, I can't keep with them. Please do something, I beg you....English subtitle please......

Secularism is a mechanism - not a belief - that creates a safe space for a diversity of ideas (economic and political)and religions with no dominate religion. The Caliphate is a mechanism that imposes a dominate religion, economic system, and political system on everyone within its jurisdiction. The two systems are diametrically opposed and cannot occupy the same space without great tension.

if you don't like an association's structural program, start your own association.

The sister came hard!! She spoke and she went for the jugular Masha'Allah

Ok, does someone see Hamza's beard literally shining?

Simply.. awesome..

48:26 I think ___ answered brilliantly. Shariah laws are carried out in very contextual situations. I sure hope both of them sat down and had that couple hours of coffee together.

I agree with the muslim lady opinion on the first question asked by audience member.

24:00 He seems to be possessed by british ghost.

I think we need bro Abdullah Al Andalusi & Mohammad Hijab in this kind of topic...😍

i understand why he feels like muslims are interogated But i feel like he should have heared peter out first and if his questions were out of place he could refuse to answer

Excellent debate :)

This debate, answers all the questions, I need to know about Islam.

NO ONE ANSWERED THE BLOODY QUESTION! WHY?

ISIS interpreting a book with an extremist vision doesn't help them take over arm caches, or organize their military units. Robert Pape like Hamza cited is a GREAT resource on this

great and good!

Why should have even discussion about whether anyone should have right to leave religion or not

Hamza is very intelligent Guy 👍👍👍

SubhanAllah Watching after 4 year 😏 But I’m smiling whole watching Hamza answer 😊❤️ May Allah bless him

I would have confiscated his glasses if I was there?

around 50:00 . whats the point of talking about peace, love, compassion if you're a devil inside. Why u refusing to give a 1000 words or a single word of answer? Take as much time as you want but convince us ur perspective is right. That's what Peter meant I think.

Powerful! It's great to see Muslims stand against interrogation by Peter Tatchell. Yes or no questions are infact bullying tactics in this setting. The questions Peter Tatchell was planning to ask were only part of a ploy. A ploy Muslims seem to fall into all too often. You can't debate theological morals in a debate. Learn to spot them and you will go further in articulating your point. I do respect his work and his commendation of human rights abuse etc, BUT he seems to be asking one sided questions.

50:00 Ok, its all good, according to PEW 2013 poll, the north africa waits for your enlightment work, 33% in North africa say women have right to divorce.

What is the use of such discussions while the decisions are made elsewhere ??

42:00 yeah its all very hurtful but if you are given and taken platform and dont use it...you really dont come up as motivated. Peter Oborne does particularly bad job here.

I think iera should change the thumb nails of these great debates

THE SECOND SPEAKER OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T KNOW THAT THE " TERM EXTREMISM ", WAS FIRST APPLIED TO MUSLIMS WHO OPPOSED "BRITISH COLONIAL RULE", & " ANY FORM OF COLONIAL RULES OVER MUSLIM COUNTRIES ".

Simple questions: 1:- Are there any circumstances in which you would support Sharia law punishment such as execution for blasphemy, apostasy, women who have sex outside of marriage and homosexuality? 2: Are there any circumstances in which you would support Sharia punishments such as stoning and amputation? I invite Muslims posting here to answer these questions to clarify any doubt, you are not compelled to answer you can refuse, that is fine, but it would help clarify what Muslims say are false accusations.

Peter Tatchell could hardly be more diplomatic, yet EF, AA and HT want much, much more. They want their theocracy.

Enough to read in these commentaries even after this debate that Islam is the solution to the problems of the world. This is said in the face of the miserable history of Islam in relation to those who do not agree with his tenets, nor of his rule by the caliphates over 1400 years. Also in spite of what Christ who was called the prince of peace never suggested that there will ever be peace in the world or fairness in the rules or justice under any system in the world. Even when the Torah was introduced by Moses who is greater than Mohamed, the laws never created a harmonious society, nor they were given to Moses to force them on the world. I hate to say it, that if this is the teaching of Islam, I dare to conclude that this is the ultimate ignorance and foolish prevention.

Peter Muslims are persecuted in India which is a democratic country! Get a load of that!

A debate par-excellence. In essence Islam is religion of peace and tolerance embedded within it's values.

It seems like Muhammad Amin has double standards?

5 vs 1 and it's an unfair debate? 😂 Poor Peter, there was no chance of a civil debate there..

the cause.

Mash Allah nice 👍

Muslim sponsored debate shows very little diversify in opinion. Very boring sympathizing, that places blame on anything other than islam. useless.

well violence against muslims is extreme in England compared to the netherlands

What a bunch of dishonest bullies.

The reason why people are so against the Islamic rule and caliphate is because they don't want to lose out on profiting through the harm of the population or lose the things that bring them pleasure while harming society.

In a fair debate there are equal number of contenders on each side. The fact that there is only Peter on one side shows that the intent of this wannabe debate is questionable. Zara and Anas decided to disenable making connection between Islam and Extremism and Anas made sure that Peter follows the "rule" playing the butthurt role. This "debate" is pure horseshit.

I would like to know who came up with the Topic " Is islam the cause or Solution to Extremism" ? Any rational person with access to information would have an answer. Irrational response would be you need to first learn Arabic and then get a PHD in islam to understand Islam. The all might to God could not come up with a way to transmit his message so that everyone could understand or is it just a tactic used by these people to deflect arguments because they don't have answers.

This debate of the intellectuals should be labeled mildly as the blurring of the facts. Dare I say blurring of the truth and by that I would have crossed the red line? Enough of these ridiculous nonprofitable and futile debates. It is heavy on the ears and sore to the eyes.

These are not words of someone but a Prophet of God!!! Supplication of the Last Prophet and messenger Muhammed SAWS; There is no God but Allah!, O our Lord , You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in between, You are the originator of the heavens and the earth and of that which is in it, You are the Supporter,And the Nourisher and Cherisher and Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and of that which is in it , O Allah You are the Truth; and Your statement is true, and Your promise is True, And the meeting with You is True, And Paradise is True, And the Fire is True, And the Hour is True, And the Prophets are True, And Muhammad SWT is True. O my Allaah! I have believed in you , and upon You I have placed my trust, And to your judgement I have submitted, And to you I complain, Forgive me that which I've done in the past, And that I have yet to do, And that which I have done publicly , and that which I will do in secret, You are the First And you are the Last. There is no God but You!!

He says we should or would never debate whether Hinduism encourages oppression of women?????!!!!!! Really???!! Of course, we can, should and would debate that. Look at the ubiquitous oppression of women in India. Do we have to disregard reality?? I am not Jewish but I do know a great deal about the culture and the religion--peace is the highest most embraced ethic among the majority of Jews. So, no, I wouldn't debate it seriously--but it would be fun to massacre the opposition. Debating whether Islam is extreme is perfectly reasonable if we are living in and embracing reality. I think the first thing all non-Muslims and Muslims should do is read the Koran in chronological order--after Muhammed was in the majority--in power, all his pronouncements were warlike and violent and abrogated his earlier conciliatory statements, as regards Jews, Christians, pagans and dissenters.

Did u notice there is Brother Subboor Ahmad as an audience...😍?

Cologne , Hamberg, ext, welcome to Islamic values. Enjoy

The panel don't understand what debate means. I rarely support peter, but on this rare occasion I do.

Myth - Islam is a Religion of Peace>>>> So where did that expression come from? It turns out that there was a book printed in India in 1930 (and again in 1988) with the title - The Religion of Peace. The author was (Ishtiaq Husain Qureshi), a British-educated historian who was later involved in the establishment of Pakistan. Actually, as you will read below, it is derived from the word submission (to Allah and Sharia Law). A more revealing verse regarding “brotherly love” is Surah 48:29: “Muhammad is Allah’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another.” Due to the Quran being comprised both of revelations received in Mecca when Muslims were outnumbered by non-Muslims and of revelations received in Medina when Islam was the dominate religion, Muslims can find Meccan verses supporting a peaceful Islam which were later overturned (abrogated) by the more militant verses revealed in Medina. Qureshi engages in some sleight-of-hand to underscore the brotherly love of Muslims for all people. His book, of course, was written before the partition of India, when millions of Muslims fled India to the newly-created Pakistan to avoid living in a mixed community ruled democratically by both Muslims and non-Muslims. Qureshi misquotes Surah 2:213 as “All men are a single nation.” The text actually explains that all men were a single nation until, through envy of one another, people began to dispute the good news and warnings of the prophets. A more revealing verse regarding “brotherly love” is Surah 48:29: “Muhammad is Allah’s apostle”. “Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another.” How to be assured of Peace in Islam: The Quran reminds Muslim that those who “fight for the cause of Allah” are superior in Allah’s estimation than those who stay at home. (Surah 4:95) “Allah has purchased from the faithful their lives and worldly goods and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for the cause of Allah, slay and be slain. . . .Rejoice in the bargain you have made.” (Surah 9:111) A reliable Hadith compiled by Bukhari states, “I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “The example of a Mujahid (“one who engages in jihad”) in Allah’s Cause- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause--is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty.” (52:46) What Honest Muslims Say about Peace: In April 2010, in the United Kingdom, Anjem Choudary, an Islamic radical, said, “You can’t say that Islam is a religion of peace, because Islam does not mean peace. Islam means submission. So the Muslim is one who submits. There is a place for violence in Islam. There is a place for jihad in Islam.” He also said, “The Koran is full of, you know, jihad is the most talked-about duty in the Koran other than tawhid ­ belief. Nothing else is mentioned more than the topic of fighting.” (There are 164 “jihad” verses in the Quran, including passages that mention a military expedition, fighting, or distributing war spoils.) In June, 2014, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-appointed caliph of the Islamic State (ISIS), said, “Islam was never a religion of peace. Islam is the religion of fighting. No-one should believe that the war that we are waging is the war of the Islamic State. It is the war of all Muslims, but the Islamic State is spearheading it. It is the war of Muslims against infidels.” (Sharia Law - Reliance of the Traveler - defines under “objectives of jihad” as the caliph making war on Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax - (Para. o9.8.) So the next time someone touts Islam as the “Religion of Peace,” ask him/her to show you where it says that in the Quran or in a hadith. They can’t, because it isn’t there, and it never will be.

The vicious anger, the pointing of the finger of scorn and hunger for retribution speaking for itself from 50:00

This Hazma's body language is somewhat scary.

The cause

Nice 👍

To all the people who say horrible things about Islam,do you guys know anything about this religion? I meant what the vast majority of us believe what Islam is...(Muslims) not sheikh/imam fox new or bbc/mainstream media

The problem is for people not accepting that religion goes with some flaws that can't fit in to civilization of mankind.

Hamza talks a lot but says so little compared to everyone else.

Peter tachell should never have been invited!

"Liberalism's own belief that military expansion is the way to spread liberalism".... Am I seriously hearing this woman say that? She also says the notion that there is a connection between extreme violence of religion is "debunked"... Sorry, I'm a Muslim but I really don't see what we achieve by putting our head in the sand like this... Also, I've lost a lot of respect for Hamza at 33:00 when he is called out on previous statements. Instead of saying he has changed his opinion on these matters which he sometimes does say, he claims it's out of context. Disappointed.

Overwhelmed by the moderating job Mr moderator. Such great moderation. Well moderated.

Look at these crybullies bawling "bully" at Peter when it was the host and other panel members who were ganging up on him and trying to prevent him from asking the most reasonable of questions. Well done Peter for being brave enough to go in and debate a hostile host, panel and audience and not allowing them to curb your free speech.

Peter Tatchell is brave and amazing

Terrorism is a logical consequence when a religion/ideology puts the death penalty on apostasy/blasphemy. There will always be people seen as "heretics" worthy of death because you can interpret vague "holy" books however you want.

what is wrong with asking a question in a debate?

Extremely telling...

"Don't Hate, DEBATE!" rofl... sure... If this is a debate, i dont want to see more of them and the host. Political correct media... and they are talking about free speech

if tough questions needs to be discussed over a coffee break then why this debate exists ?

I think Peter Thatcher needed to be questioned over what Hamza said, cause yikes....🤣🤣😭wthh

5 muslims & 1 other

The "fundamentalist" wont exist without the "fundamentals".

Wow, they turned on Mohammed Amin REALLY fast.

islam is solution of all problems. You know why???/Muslims brothers do not fight which each other. they all want what the prophet wanted. the all submit to Allah, and his Messenger Mohammad.Very simple! Isn't this a good peacefull religion? ;-)

Love this debate all the speakers manage to come at a single point. F the haters :)

I wish Ayaan Hirsi Ali was there

Another ridiculous title. HOW CAN islamic terrorism be the solution to anything? answers on a postage stamp

58:00 We would stand up in your defense but we would not answer 3 simple questions. What a complete lie.

Where are all the intelligent Muslim debaters?

Test Censorship

Hamza: I'm not advocating violence. Me: So murdering people for leaving a religion isn't violent? Okay then...

"Is fire the cause or solution to burn?"

This Peter is childish

in an islamic caliphate, this debate cannot even take place.

This dude HAMZA debated Lawrence krauss and disastrously said stuff about physics and regretted it right away as krauss called him ignorant in physics in front of muslims in the audience. Krauss told them in their faces muslim is not special.

I like this peter guy...

cowards debate, only hamza and the wnon muslim were here to debate

I don't think Islam is the solution... But God...Islam is not God

Hamza is an intellectual only in his own head.

Tatchell trying to hold the Islamist extremists to task. And none of the panel can come out and unequivocally condemn extremism. Ishan is a far right extremist religion and it's embarrassing that Islamists can't condemn it.

How about Maajid Nawaz? Oh that's right, his character is slandered at every turn by Muslims.

I am so tired of island been pushed down my throat. It was never the chosen race.

Always the same victim retoric.

22:01 If praying five times a day makes me an extremist, then grow my beard and call me Osama..🤣😒 Alhamdulilah

I don't care if Muslims think their religion is the answer to how best to run a society. I don't believe your religion is true. Secularism is what allows Muslims and non Muslims to live together without any group having a privileged position - including secularists - and all citizens respecting the human rights of each individual
