Now ask Muslims , the same question

The follow up asking Muslims the same should be entertaining.

Ask the Palestinians that question!

"Would you _cut_ him off?" hits different when asked the opposite way.

most of the interviewed persons in this video are not religious, this question should have been asked to the religious jews. They would give another answer I think

Penalty for Apostasy in a Muslim Country is Death.

Come on Corey, you know everyone wants you to ask the Pals if they would accept a Muslim converting to Judaism.

if you asked the same question to a muslim and if they would "cut him off" they would cut him in half with a sword

I'm impressed with the answers - it shows you that slowly the next generations, either muslim, jewish, catholique or any other religion, they will learn to respect and accept each other, as long there is no extremism. I'm muslim and if my child became jewish, I will respect his or her decision and will never ever cut them off. Thanks for this video.

FYI - a highly unlikely hypothetical. We just dont convert to Islam.

As an Atheist it would really bother me due to the number of Muslim countires where Atheism carries the death penalty. As another person wrote swap this around and ask Muslims if their kid converted to Judiasm. All the countries where Apostacy is punishable by death have Muslim majority populations.

I’m a Muslim and i want to say i like your channel, you have very good Questions.. I enjoy watching your channel 💯

As a secular Jew it will be hard for me to accept a child of mine converting to Islam or Christianity. Islam because of the animosity towards our self-determination and Christianity because of the stolen traditions and the fact that their father grew up in a cultural Christian house and resents the religion deeply. If they chose Hinduism, Buddhism, Shinto, Taoism or any other South or East Asian religion that doesn't seek to convert the world it would be different. It would just mean they found truth outside of the Jewish perspective. Still, I will never cut off a child of mine, though with the amount of debates they might do that instead.

Cory did you ask muslims what happens to someone who left islam?

As an atheist Israeli Jew, when my kids were young, my fear was that they would get snared by the Orthodox 'back to religion' (chozer b'tshuva) missionaries because they are very succesful in Israel. In many cases like these, it's the kids themselves that cut off their parents. And BTW the same happens when an ultra Orthodox child becomes leaves their cult.

As a Muslim who studies Judaism and has lived among Jewish people I think the concern is more towards whether the ones who convert to Islam want to continue living with their Jewish parents/family or not. Because Islam does prohibit certain things the Jews do. If let say the children who convert to Islam are not religious, maybe converting for marriage but still living as secular Muslim who maintain their familial tradition, then there is nothing wrong with that. In Judaism, a Jew remains a Jew no matter what religion he professes. From a practical approach, Jewish people is a communal society that cherishes tradition to be upheld together. That is why even an atheist Jew might observe Passover seder. For a religious Jewish point of view, a righteous Muslim is righteous by his own right and no need to convert to Judaism to be considered righteous. But from current mainstream Muslim perspective, a righteous Jew is still not considered a believer as long as the Jew doesn’t convert to Islam. Traditionally, Islam regards Jews and Christians as People of the Book who will receive rewards from God but nowadays the scholars interpret is by only one condition which is accepting the latest version of Abrahamic religion that is the Sharia of Muhammad pbuh. Hence that is why from the video we can notice that mostly they accept their children still and will not cut them off. But they do have concern whether the child would still want to be with them in continuing their tradition, or that the child will become extremist that regards Jews as enemies of Islam etc. It is not about that they feel their children will end up in hell and they too are responsible (that they might end up in hell for failing to bring their children back to Judaism) like most Muslim parents would think when their children convert to other religions.

Funny how they saying now ask muslims ? A week ago israelis wished that the ex hostage Agam stayed there, in Gaza.. because she said the Palestinians treated her well

Every time you make my day!❤

Apparently they would cut me off

Ask the Muslims the same question 🙋‍♂️

I am curious what the answers would be if you asked this to religious Israelis.

Very nice and convenient, but when I became Muslim my family did cut me off for months, and those are reformed jews not even particularly religious. It was difficult and I didn't have anyone by my side, cause when I reverted back in the days I did not even know any muslim person in real life. AlhamduliLlah I had the strength to do it all alone, but I don't wish the same upon my worst enemy.

Israelis actually love their children

As a Palestinian Atheist, I truly admire the Israeli society.

Oh, so these are the monsters everyone wants dead?

They can still live a normal life above another genocide. Completely beyond human reason.

Thank you Gil for this video. May the Almighty bless you and may give us a common future of Peace Love and Happyness , either in one multi religious country or even if two brother and good neighbours countries

I would consider myself a failed parent if my child becomes religious. I see it as my duty to tech the children that religions are mythology, and gods are not actually real.

I converted to christianity from Islam.My mom still thinks im muslim.She told me that she'll disown me if she finds me as a non muslim

Kudos!

"From Jews to Muslims: Twentieth-Century Converts to Islam" tells the stories of twentieth century Jewish intellectuals and activists and their various and complex reasons for converting to the Islamic faith. (Author: Shalom Goldman, professor of religion at Middlebury College.)

Corey, did you deliberately target liberal jews? no one from the settlements or Hebron or Orthodox jews?

One may get very different reactions from the muslim community everything up to and including death,sad.

Great channel

Religion the scapegoat justification for Geopolitical Economic Games

As a Dutch Atheist; I would.

Ask a Muslim the same question.

I’m a muslim, i pray i read quran i fast during ramadhan, i went to Mecca & Madinah for performing Umrah. I can say I’m Quite religious but If my child choose other religion, Eventhough it’s gonna be really Hard. I Will try Hard to make them stay muslim first but at the End If they are still sure with their decision i wont cut them off. They are my blood my flesh my love ❤

Is there a video like this but arab version? Did you make? If so, i would like to watch . And great videos, im a huge fan ❤

Now ask this question from a muslim family and prepared to be amazed.

I came from an extremist religious Muslim family. I converted to Judaism in Bnei Brak.

Wow, non mi aspettavo queste risposte...

Very interesting question. I used to be religious (I am now an atheist) and was part of the Hare Krishna movement. There was an Israeli teenager who was there and part of the religious group and his mother was there from Israel. She was seeing what it was all about and supporting him. Refreshing to see.

The capability for the majority to answer in this way is another example of why Israeli culture in large is just beautiful

يا كوري : كل الأديان جيدة، الناس السيؤون هم من يجعلون الأديان سيئة.. طرح سؤال الموقف من تغيير الدين تختلف إجاباته حسب درجة تدين المجتمع، أغلب الناس الذين سألتهم في هذا الفيديو يبدو أنهم علمانيون منفتحون، الإجابات ستختلف حتما لو سألت نفس السؤال في المتجمعات اليهودية الأرثودوكسية.. عموما إذا طرحت نفس السؤال في المجتمعات الإسلامية، فالإجابات ستكون مختلفة و صادقة، تغيير الدين أو حتى المذهب سني ، شيعي ، أحمدي ، إباضي.. هو شيء مرفوض، لسبب بسيط : الإنسان العربي المسلم هو حديث العهد بمفهوم المواطنة أو القومية أو حرية الاعتقاد، ولاءه للقبيلة و الأمة الإسلامية أهم بكثير من ولائه للوطن .. و أغلب الناس ترى أن تغيير الدين هو خيانة..

These are the Jews I pray for too..may God bless them more! Such lovely reasoning and intellect!

Yep, that's Israeli culture for you - mostly liberal and accepting.

The “go for it” answer was clearly who cares whatever religion they want. Clearly Jews are not bothered but sure Islam will disown their kids.

For a Jew to convert to Islam should not be a problem, Jews are already circumcised, they don’t eat pork, and Jews who lived in Muslim countries are closer to Muslims culturally. Only politics and extremism are dividing both communities. Sat Sri Akal, Salam, Shalom, Shanti.

If you ask muslims the same question, that would be the last question you ask in your life 😅. The world is developing, but the rate is different for each society. Israel is a developed and civilised country.

It is not surprising that secular Jews wouldn’t mind.

Mostly reasonable responses 👍🏽

Masham Allah very interesting video

you're the best love you shows

Funny, the intro ad for this video was a One For Israel / Jews for Jesus promo

I'm an Atheist Muslim. I have an islamic name and I was raised a Muslim, but I stopped believing at 20 and I'm now nearly 40 and still a nonbeliever. To parents whose kids convert to islam : don't panic, in most cases they are just experimenting, most converts to islam actually leave islam, from what I see. Practicing islam is just hard and boring, and life becomes tasteless if you have lived a non-Muslim life before, so generally people go back to their former lives once the excitement of the new conversion wears off.

This is a highly frivolous and unfair question. Islam has lost the Abrahamic image of Creation long before the inception of Islam.

I wonder why Abdullah from the Netherlands asked this question. I feel it's a very random thing to ask and I wonder where did this question come from

I was pleasantly surprised!🙏❤️

Israelis are so accepting it warms my heart. Having said this, if it happened to me with my children (if i ever have them), after all the efforts I did in order to become part of the Jewish community, as a person with an Evangelical mom and Jewish dad, I'd suffer but I would never cut him off. That's probably something "palestinians" would do.

Islam is the last true monotheistic religion , Quran has lots of miraculous verses that scientists until today r still astonished how everything was mentioned in Quran in details about human body, universe, the earth ect, Mohammed is the last messenger of Allah, God that all humans should believe in and praise, muslims praise and believe in Moses and all jewish prophets and Jesus , and muslims know that they r cousins of jews descendants of Isaac brother of Ismaël, we both dont eat porc, do circumcision, women wear veil do not show their body, eat cosher or halal meat, fast and pray so if a jew converts to Islam he will not feel the difference, Islam is the closest religion to Judaism which we do believe is the first religion sent to humans, and Islam the last

Why convert? Because of marriage? because of falling in love with someone from a different religion? In Indonesia, there was a Jewish family, the Mussry Family. They lived in Surabaya City. They came from Iraq. The first generation who moved to Indonesia still followed Judaism. That's why we could find a synagogue in Surabaya city and their tombs still have Jewish traditions such as Star David. Second generation Converted to Islam by marrying a local Indonesian woman who is Muslim. The third generation automatically was born as Muslim. The third generation is still living in Indonesia. No hatred for the third generation. By the way, the third generation is a very successful business Jewish man.

Why did their prophet marry a six year old at the age of 54 years old.

The same question for Palestinians, I guess they would rather have the child ............ than convert to Israeli religion

i see decent normal people with reasonable answers

Does it not say things in the Quran about not only killing Yehudim but generally subordinating all other faiths and nations? And does the Prophet not say he is the final prophet?... so there can be no further discussion or development or change to his "social philosophy" (חחחחח) by anyone else.

I am israeli (jew) half german (catholic). The father of my 3 kids is half egyptian (muslim) and half swiss (christian). I grew up as jewish and he as muslim, but we are both not religous. We never taught our kids any religion. Our oldest daughter feels she is jewish and our son feels he is muslim, the youngest is non. We live in a small catholic village in switzerland. I wish for people to come back to their hearts and see all human being as the people they are and not their religion. Only this way we could truely live in peace.

I am a Christian by birth but I am an agnostic, but I did not even expect that the Jews would be extreme in their response. But I don't understand why the author is surprised if someone says that he would cut ties with the child. The left-wing ideas where everything is acceptable started to bother me as well as the right-wing ideas. If leftists stand for freedom in everything, why is it critical if someone has a view that something is unacceptable? Well, that person also has the right to choose. I would like to hear a Muslim answer to the same question. And I would like to hear if you would question Muslims if they said that they would break off relations with their children, why.

That’s why I Jews ❤️God bless israe and the Jews people 🇮🇱🙏.but I’m protestat christian.

now the same question. to the arabs

Not hard to guess what the other side would say

For those people getting offended that he asked this question, he nearly always does a follow up and asks the same question to the other party!

@CoreyGilShusterAskProject - I’m wondering if you can do a special question for me. Can you ask Israelis about their first memory of a bomb shelter? How old were they? What did they know about the bombs? Do they remember the first time they learned about why there were bombs being fired at them? I’d also like to ask if you could do a special edition with children - maybe don’t show their faces - a white sheet and light so you just see their silhouette maybe; and maybe the questions here would be open questions so we get to hear what the children most want us all to know about their lives. I remember the first time I met Israelis here in Australia. They were young adults, and they were so clearly pacifists but also spoke about being in the army. It was a real eye opener to learn that there was conscription, but that they didn’t think it was really terrible. They talked very much about the IDF as defence. So I’d really like it if other people could hear more about what it’s like to grow up knowing that there are offensive bombing attacks aimed at your community every so often.

Why did you only interviewed secular or non-practising Jews?

Am shocked. Muslims would kill their children if they left Islam. Shocked in a pleasant way. It also changes the way I feel about the current conflict.

I hadn't heard of Pardes Hannah until this video 😢

I dare say Corey would not be able to ask that same question in the West Bank. Some would answer it but i am sure some would become violent even at the thought.

As a western-born/living Arab Muslim of a more progressive bent, this was somewhat pleasantly surprising for once. It's nice to see that ties wouldn't necessarily be cut over such a thing. For those saying to ask the reverse, expecting different replies, I'm sure you're right but let's keep in mind Islam and Judaism aren't the same thing. To these people, one doesn't stop being Jewish by converting to Islam as they are Jewish by birth, I'm assuming. I still think Muslims should accept children who leave the children but alas, they're somewhat different issues since Islam isn't an ethnoreligion.

Respect to the majority of the people you interviewed We used to live together on peace

Muslims and Jews are close in similar in faith, they both don’t worship Jesus. ❤

I don't even accept my neighbor as a fellow countryman under these circumstances irregardless of what my government has to say about it.

I would make him read the Suna to understand what is this shiiiit

This video beautifully explains the difference btwn Arabs and Jews. In short most Jews would accept, but Arabs, not only wouldn't they accept, they would honor kill in name of their deen (religion) of peace.

Just be a good person whatever faith u take. Just don't be a radical

i love your channels....it gives us a view of isreili people

Wow. I wonder what the Palestinian answers will be.

I notice you didn't seem to ask any Orthdox. Now why might that be? 🤔

0:38 That's a rare thinker!

most jews dont come off as religious and yet their culture is pretty uniform and motivated by it...dont get it wrong they see it against the tribe

I AM CHRISTIAN,MY FATHER THREATEN US, WE JUST FLEE,WE LEFT HIM,IF NOT WE ARE NOT ALIVE ANYMORE

Love is what comes out of the Israelis interviewed here. It clear who is for peace and who isn’t

I love Israeli diversity of opinion, even when i don't like the opinion. Thanks again for posting such great stuff.

Palestinians were jews and christian back then, they were reverted to Islam. Look how these so called jews doing with them. 😢

Great people!!! This is why people should not judge an entire group based on the actions of their govs.

Gosh, I just love Israelis so much. They don’t deserve everything they go through. They don’t deserve this abuse that they went through for thousands of years. I wish, the other side could have understood, that as long as it’ll attack more, they’ll suffer way more. Because hard situations, like the current war, change people, for the worse. but I don’t think they even care. I don’t think they care about their children dying as a long as the kids of the Jew also died. and it hurts me. all Israelis want is peace. peace, and quiet, love and equality. sometimes, they won’t admit it, but deep inside of their hearts, that’s the only thing they ever wish for.

I’ve already told my daughters what the Qurans and Hadiths say about women and judging by their sour and rightfully appalled faces I don’t think I have to worry about it 😏.

i guess yael she over looked the part where the trees and rock give us up to the muslem

What if their kids moved back to Europe where they all come from? Forget the Islam question. What would they do if their children rejected Z-ionism?

As an atheist I would.
