Everybody knew about this fact of Laurence of Arabia,that he was a spy .

The movie does not portray Lawrence as a hero. He fails at the end and it is clearly shown. It's a movie about a conflicted individual who got lost while searching for his own identity. The historical background makes the story more interesting, but it could be a story about anyone, and it resonates with many.

He was surely a Hero for those who wanted us(Ottoman Empire ) to be Divided, so that they can conquer us, but not for us.

So he was the real serpent.

He was the enemy of Islam,,,he persuaded the Arabs to revolt of Ottomans

Then or now the arab world will never understand who is the real enemy...

We have to realize that who is our friend and who is our foe.

As a Moorish American.. I have read many books and talked to many people on the downfall of the Ottoman Empire one of the main problems was that the Arabs thought they was being marginalized so they stood against the Ottomans thinking that it was going to liberate them but it did nothing but weakened them foolish Behavior

The Arab Revolt was a British movement lol and as an Arab I denounce all who took part in it. Islam sees no ethnicities and races in the Quran the followers of the prophet are referred to as muslims not Arabs therefore the turks and all other races are no different than Arabs. The Arab Revolt was a mockery and got Mecca and Medina captured by the British and anyone who defends this is ignorant.

The movie was not written by TE Lawrence- don't blame him or its faults. Read the 7 Pillars of Wisdom. In that book, Lawrence gave enormous credit to British soldiers and Bedouin Arabs. He was not racist and held Arabs in high esteem. He was a very tough resourceful soldier and an intellectual. By and large, he was shy and modest.

nice,we need more of these videos

Much love TRT ...from Bangalore, India

Fajr prayer on time is equal to success all the time...

Good job Muslim should know their real history

The movie was not just inaccurate concerning historical facts it was also inaccurate as an adaptation from Lawrence's book as he admitted that he felt no glory but felt shame when he motivated the Arabs by the promise of a united land that he knew Britain will never fulfil

Lawrence of Arabia drove a wedge between Turkish and Arabian Muslims. He told arabs that they were being deprived of their rights by the Turks, which wasn't the case. Turkish Muslims and Arab Muslims used to be like brothers. May Allah unite all Muslims again, Ameen . La ilaha il Allah , there's no god but Allah.

I don’t think the movie depicted Lawrence as a hero but rather showed the downfall of a man who had beliefs of grandiosity. His character eroded over time. Also, it’s worth looking into why some of the tribes of Arabia who had Lawrence live amongst them revered him so much as to name their sons “Awrance”? Until today it remains the only western name for man that is socially acceptable. I’m not saying that the movie had problematic elements and I have no doubt that Lawrence was serving the English imperial power but I wonder if the man’s allegiance remained consistent throughout his career.

The British have a habit of lying when it comes to history. Lawrence did not even have a quarter of the role that he is now given credited for

There is no denying that Lawrence led the attack on what was considered to be an impregnable Akaba and he successfully captured it which was quite an accomplishment by itself. Also he conducted a guerrilla war against the Turks and blew up many of their rail lines in Arabia. All this was accurately portrayed in the 1962 movie. He had no part in the tricky Allied diplomacy pursued during and after WWI.

Enlightening. The propaganda is still going on to this day. Please make more such videos to educate the masses. Thank You.

I'm a muslim, but sorry guys. I think you misunderstand. Did you guys even watch the movie? He was never a hero nor intended to be depicted as a hero in the movie.

Love your presentations, Ahmed! :)))

This video makes valid points about problematic orientalism and historical inaccuracies in the film, as well as the actions of the British during WWI, but it also grossly misinterprets the movie and the real Lawrence's actions, motivations, and character. The film itself is anti-British, anti-imperialist, and anti-White Saviour. The British are shown openly scheming to deceive the Arabs and carve up the middle east in their own interests. British officers a shown as racist, and far from depicting him as a hero, Lawrence is shown as naïve and arrogant. The film deliberately subverts the White Saviour trope. The real Lawrence believed in Arab independence, not British and French rule, as this video claims. He was disgusted by the duplicity and broken promises of the British government and actively worked against the British after the war to try to win a better deal for the Arabs: negotiating on their behalf at Peace Conferences, publishing letters denouncing the British and French, and refusing a knighthood in the presence of the King in protest. He regretted his involvement in the Arab Revolt and admitted that trying to influence another people and country was naive and arrogant and that he'd had no right to do so. Far from depicting himself as a Rambo figure in The Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence is very honest about his own flaws and failures. He downplays the roles of other British and French officers in order to emphasise the importance of the Arab Revolt, not to glorify himself. He gave credit to Arab leaders where it was due. The Turks are depicted unfavourably because Lawrence witnessed Turkish atrocities at close hand: particularly a brutal massacre of women and children. He also admits to committing atrocities himself. Lawrence made unflattering statements about the Arabs, but also praised them elsewhere. He made equally scathing comments about the British and French. Lawrence co-operated with Lowell Thomas as he thought the publicity would help the Arab cause. He later regretted this and thought Thomas was a fool. At least some of the Bedouin Lawrence worked with respected him enough to name their sons and grandsons Lawrence. The kind of misinformation, bias, and distortion of history that this video presents is highly counterproductive, regardless of your race, nationality or religion: it only serves to fuel prejudice, ignorance, and hatred.

Me: Looking up History to verify whether western movies got it right or wrong. TRT World: I Gotta Story To Tell.

Truly a great documentary

Great content 👍🏽

Im so glad my Homeland Germany was on the side with Ottomans in ww1

Great job on telling this story. Please do not act like you did in the end of the video. We want you to be a great role model for the youth. Do not portray yourself in a way that makes you look unprofessional. Keep up the great work. May Allah bless you and your family and give you all amazing things and success in this life and the next. We love you my brother.

They have helped qarnu shaytan take over because after the turks where beaten. The saudie shaytan familie came from najd and took over hejaz

I really love this series. Ma'ShaAllah! Thanks TRT for sharing pure information in such an easy & crystal-clear narrative. InSha'Allah,Truth will prevail (and will Islam). Allahu Akbar!

excellent and eye-opening video.

Nice and very informative 👍🏻👍🏻👌🏻

Love your series

Like the movie 300, this movie also twists facts to entertain the ill informed masses, sadly it is the method of choice in the West to display their psuedo-superiority. However, we are lucky to live during these times cause the world is changing.

Reporter is glad that he was shorter than him🤣🤣🤣

You are great bro. Love from India

Very well put. Thanks

Great stuff

I like the presentation despite the bitter topic

Really educational, thanks.

Nice one man.... U can tell a story 👍👍👍

Of course that is what Hollywood... White Jesus White Moses White Noah White Abraham etc. etc.

Thanks for explaining historical facts !

I love Ahmed Ghoneim. TRT World has a great presenter.

One of the greatest movies ever made. Some of the points mentioned were valid but most are biased af

Watched the movie with my family and we spent the 4 hours barking at the screen

More videos like this 👍

Bro love this series

7:03 Be famous!!! 👍🤠But not like Lawrence of Arabia!!😁

At the same time that the Turks were commiting genocide against the Armenians and Assyrians they were starving the Arabs of greater Syria into submission. Syrian civilians suffered a huge rate of mortality through a deliberate policy of starvation and deprivation during the Arab Revolt years. There are valid criticisms in this video, especially of the movie version of history, but there are some distortions here, too. For instance, the "regular" soldiers of the Revolt who served under English, French or Arab officers wore uniforms, but there were also many bands of tribal cavalry like Auda Abu Tayi's Sharif Nasr's and Nuri Shaalan's riders, the Rualla cavalry and Druze cavalry none of whom wore uniforms. A significant distortion is the implication that Lawrence approved of the Anglo-French "betrayal by partition" of the Arabs. He hated that, and he made his feelings clear. In the end he washed his hands of all of it in a dishonorable way, but the many losses, traumas and horrors he'd suffered and the guilt of his participation in the betrayal haunted him and crippled his psyche.

It's time to wake up.

Its simple, he was sent to BREAK the hejaj from Ottomans to weaken the caliphate in order to break it

Can't lie it is a pretty funny coincidence that this channel is Turkish

Now truly( They) are like scattered sand in the desert if you know this line you are a legend

Wonderful

Great video,

The divide still seems be holding us back. Now more than ever, this Ummah needs to be united in spirit and support each other in our tough times. We need to improve ourselves في سبيليلله for our oppressed brothers and sisters around the globe.

History is written by the winner!

In fairness, the movie does show that the British betrayed the Arabs when the war ended.

your jokes are so cringe , but I love them. please continue with these funny jokes

Thank you

Basically the enemy of my enemy are my friend.

The ending was funny! Thanks Ahmed & TRT team!

Absolutely fantastic.

Excellent commentry... thank you for giving a better picture of the reality.

Lol give it to the Turkish national news channel, to put him down....just cause he helped defeat ottoman empire.

Excellent work Ahmed

The frame and way the guy was standing makes me feel that this is an AD and I was looking for the skip button

Thanks for explaining in great detail now I know the truth

He had balls of iron.and people loved him so many people turned out for his funeral.he was a man of his time with a adventurist spirit.

Not to mention what the English did in my land, North America. I'm a Northern Cheyenne tribal member and an educator living in Morocco, so I have a unique perceptive on this very subject

Very Cinematic indeed

I liked darbuka in background

wow

Wao nice information 👍

we need the history of imam Ahmed bin Ibrahim al ghazi the defender of ka,bah who's defeated Portuguese and Abyssinian

He came from West and helped arabs to formed Saudi Arabia Now We peoples also have job to go and help Scotland to become an Independent nation

I'm confused. The movie depicted Lawrence as a heroe becoming an anti hero. Someone falling more deeply into madness. Like, that's the main point of the movie. 🤔 But thanks for the history fact check.

Love you story. You brought tears in my eyes.

Pl tell who was Anfaray?

Lawrence of Arabia is the prime example of Western Propaganda effort! When I first saw that garbage film I was amazed how a film form USA can be so lame and full of cliché...............

Who told him to save Arabs ?

I grew up very interested in history and politics... I've known this for a long time. He's one of the main supports of the saud family.

You are famous baby!!! Love 💟 your shows🎥🎞️📽️🎬🇹🇷

I love the great ottoman empire

don't forget he was a homosexual

Got to admit Alex Guinness did look a bit like the man he played.

Will he respected Arabs and loved them to an extent. Way more than our Turkish Muslim "brothers", he refused a knighthood by the king because he felt England betrayed the arabs.

This video is a waste of time as it is primarily Turkish propaganda to essentially rewrite history, Its critique is focused on the film rather then on Lawrence himself, and finally its bastardization of the British presence in Arabia and the middle east as a whole.

As the darkness falls and Arabia calls One man spreads his wings as the battle begins

The Prophet ﷺ also prophesied that carnal pursuits would not only infect his nation but would be the cause of their downfall and devastation. Thawbān (rA) reports that the Prophet ﷺ said, “The nations will soon invite one another to devour you, just as diners are invited to a dish.” It was said, “Will it be because of our small number on that day?” He said, “No, rather you will be many on that day, but you will be [weightless] foam, like the foam on the river. And Allah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies, and will cast weakness into your hearts.” Someone said, “O Messenger of Allah, what will this weakness be?” He said, “The love of this world, and the hatred of death.”[58] Reinforcing this point, Anas (rA) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said, “Once my nation considers five things permissible, then destruction will befall them: when cursing one another appears, wine is drunk, silk is worn [by men], musical instruments are played, and men suffice themselves with men and women suffice themselves with women.”[59] Certainly, Muslims today are not insulated from the ideologies demanding the acceptance of same-sex acts in the world around them. This is even imaginable for a practicing, mosque-goer Muslim, if they allow their religiosity to be reduced to a cultural identity, as the Prophet ﷺ said in a hadith narrated by ‘Abdullah b. ‘Amr (rA), “An age will surely come when people gather and pray in the mosques, while there is not a single believer amongst them.”

Cause we all know how well they get along with each other now

West just try to interpret history according to their point of view and making their opponents villains

Arabs introduced islam to indian subcontinent in 665 in malabar cost Present day Kerala. Oldest mosque cherman juma masjid Oldest community know as moppila. Unlike British dutch turk persians The never looted. The was our best trading partner love Arabs ❤❤❤❤. Allah bless Arab world. Hope Arab lands became happy again.

Highly false depiction of Lawrence in this 7min. We know it was a movie, although not Hollywood style, and there was a lot of inaccuracies in it . Lawrence was a hero in any meaning of the word, although we do understand the Arabs may have a different opinion. Having spent time in Jordan and talking to many locals up and down the country some think of him highly and others don't. Lawrence was a very complex man, best to read books about him to get a basis of who he was.
