This was absolutely an amazing breakdown and very insightful as you connected all the dots from different angles. Just subscribed to your channel and keep up the great work.
Holy Quran 3:169 169 “Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead. In fact, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for.” Just wanted to add more info as well. But I have to say great commentary and breakdown brother. Much love and respect. Assalaamu Alaykum (Peace Be With You).

From of old Yahweh, He is the god Holy, who died? Yahweh, the appointed judge, and the Rock will establish the judgment. The one who was overcome is pure. He sees the evil's power. Look at the evil. What do you see? Do you favor the ones who do wickedly? Are you silent when the wicked swallow those more righteous than them?" Habakkuk 3:11-13 "From the east the crescent stood at the heights, walking in the light of the weapons, the radiance of Barack (Husein Obama) from the thrust. There is indignation at his march on the Earth; in anger he trampled the nations. He went forth for the salvation of his people; for the salvation he's anointed. Now strike the head of the house of the wicked; lay him open from thigh to neck, commune with the Lifted High." Ezekiel 1:13-14 “for the living being was like a consumed ember, a consumed vision upright, shall he walk among living beings, fiery and bright was Barack, he had come out of the consummation. The living beings ran to and fro before the vision of Barack.” Ezekiel 21:2-5 "Son of man set your face towards Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuary and prophecy against the land of Israel, and say to the land of Israel, "Thus saith Yahweh, "Behold I am against, and the drawn sword from the sheath, and cut off shall be the righteous and the wicked.

For it was first given laid bare the handle sharpened and laid bare and set into the hand of the destroyer (Abaddon or Apollyon). Cry out in anguish, son of man.

Truly, also the scepter which despises shall be no more, declares the Lord Yahweh. Son of man prophecy and clap your hands together, the sword twice, and now the third time, the sword pierces, the sword for the great one as it pierces those who indwelt and surrounded them. The inner being (demons) weaken greatly, they were brought down to cause stumbling, All of them are at the gate (of hell). Give them to slaughter by the sword. Alas, they had made Barack (Hussein Obama) and caught themselves up for the slaughter.”" Ezekiel 21:28 “and son of man prophecy and say, All utters Lord Yahweh, towards teaching towards this reproach, say a sword, a sword has been drawn and laid bare for the slaughter to consume Barack.” Do Job and Moses the earliest writers of the Holy Bible agree with this testimony? Job 26:6 "naked death before Abaddon, and nothing shall cover them over." Job 26:13-14 “by his breath the heavens are cleared, his hand shall pierce BARACK, a serpent. Behold ALLAH the end of his ways. How? A whisper, a word, hear the strength and the thunder. Who can discern?” Deuteronomy 29:25-29 "and they will say, 'ALLAH (the accursed), for they forsook the covenant of Yahweh the God of their fathers, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall cut off they who were brought out of the land of Egypt.' They will come to serve another god (Allah), and prostrate before a god, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall know to divide.

Yahweh shall uproot the land in anger, fury of great wrath, to cast another land as it is this day concealed. Yahweh our God. Uncover the Son. For unto the last, this is the observance of all of the words of this book of law." Deuteronomy 32:41 “Truly I cut into Barack with a sword, for My hand shall accomplish justice, I will turn back the vengeance of My adversaries, to repay all those who hate Me.” Zephaniah 2:12 "Moreover Cush (horn of Africa black man) I shall slay by My sword." Quran 13:11b-14a says, “Never doeth Allah change the condition of a people, excepting they change themselves, and Allah intendeth evil for all people, and there is no stopping him. Neither doeth he accept an equal. Barack is he who showeth you the face of Allah, giving a fear and a hope, though heavy the clouds and the thunder, exalt and prostrate to him, for even angels fear him, for he sendeth forth thunderbolts, striking whom he wills, while they dispute before the face of Allah, and he is severe in his attack. To him alone are the prayers in truth." Quran 7:45-47 says, “Who shall avert people from the path of Allah? And who will be declared the maker of deception? They were focused on the Hereafter, disbelievers. Between them shall be a barrier a family of men of Obama, who shall recognize them all by their markings. And one (Barack Obama) shall call out to the companions of Paradise, “PEACE ON YOU.” They shall not have entered, but shall have the assurance. And his eyes shall turn towards the people to be torched for they cry out, “Lord let us not be cast into fire among the wicked” but the man Obama shall say, “I know you by your looks, but none of your riches or pride of life shall avail you now, for these men have sworn that you may never earn the mercy of Allah.” Then he shall turn to his own BARACK (the blessing) shall say, “Come with me to paradise, for you will have nothing to fear, neither regret.”” Why would they have such little faith in a time they know they are about to be torched, while talking to Barack Hussein Obama? Well because he already had two times, was cut off to prosper in the sense hatred grew hugely under the era of Trump, we got an image of his time now and that is almost over. The desire of women was denied; Hillary never made it. He came in with a Nobel Peace Prize already in hand. He put grain offering in the wing; people put paper into the Wailing Wall all the time and he did too. He removed three kings in Egypt, Libya, and Tunesia and turned the key to that bottomless pit by WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology tour where at the end he kissed the ring of the Saudi prince over the Ka'aba in Mecca. So he caused the Arab Spring and they have been flooding out of that bottomless pit into Europe to burn down churches ever since so the second beast is giving their power unto the image of a beast. Ten stupid Muslim leaders will demand a place in his throne room at the top of Mt. Zion and they will reign with him for one literal hour for he has already fulfilled the Holy Bible, so they reign just long enough for one piss break into their pants when they see Xi and Putin have no plans to prostrate five times a day to Barack Hussein Obama for seven years and they don't have to for the Muslims picked the one person who fulfilled enough already for all of them to rush to be with demons in hell real quick for the whole world will be judged by fire when Islam looks to have won over Christianity and Judaism.
@@wandering3ngineer, Daniel speaks of beast ruling over the region of the Middle East and has seven with an 8th from a far. Yet he also brings up North and South and by prophecy shows through time that the North is Christianity and the South is Islam, but only over time as first there is gradual transformation, but the prophecies slowly show North must be Christianity and not one country or organized political power any more and for South it can't be one nation as parts of the prophecy reveal Egypt, but over time happen when the Ottoman Empire exists and no longer even in the Egyptian region. WHAT IS HISTORY, for as far as I can tell the prophecy is nearly completely fulfilled? See if you can follow me, in this: 1st BEAST is Babylon (Shinar) 2nd BEAST is Persia (Elam) 3rd BEAST is Greece (Goiim) 4th BEAST is Rome (diverse in that it did not exist in Genesis 14) Christ Jesus came and bruised the head. 5th BEAST is the Holy Roman Empire ("is, and is not, and yet is" for Christ Jesus bruised the head) 6th BEAST is Byzantine (NOT YET COME, in the time of Apostle John, who describes it as an EMPIRE for a little while) 7th BEAST is the Ottoman Empire The 8th beast comes from the 4th beast for indeed Western Culture has been dominating the Middle East since the ripping apart of the Ottoman Empire in 1919, and we of the Western world demonstrate ourselves ever since, without a care for the past of that region, which is prideful of their past compared to the rest of the world. "Here is a mind having wisdom: seven (7) heads (rule the region of The Middle East), seven (7) mountains (empires), where the woman is seated. Seven (7) rule, five (5) have fallen, one is another, not yet come (Byzantine), and when it come, it is necessary to remain a little while. The beast which is and is not, yet is, is also an eighth (8th) demonstrating himself, of the seventh (7th), and leadeth unto Apollyon (the Destroyer)." - Revelation 17:9-11 Daniel 7:21-22 "I kept looking and a horn was waging war with saints and overcame them. Then the Ancient of days came to judgement (resurrection of the dead and physical rapture up) to be given to the holy of the Highest One, and the time had arrived for the saints to possess a kingdom (heaven)." Daniel 7:23 “it followed the fourth beast, the fourth kingdom (America came out of the Western world) and the Earth had changed, for all kingdoms were devoured on the whole Earth, they were tread down and crushed (the world-wide apocalypse of WWI).” Daniel 7:24 “for the ten and their horns were of this kingdom (America drew the lines in the Middle East in 1919), ten kings (to be declared in the Middle East of the remains of The Ottoman Empire), arise and another arose after (Barack Hussein Obama in America), changing all the first and ruining three kings (Egypt, Libya, and Tunesia).” Daniel 7:25 “He will speak against Allah, to wear out the saints of the Highest One, intending to change time to a decree (stop all time - decrees are final), and give his hand a time, and a time, and a cutting off time.” Daniel 7:26 “But the judgment shall be final and his dominion shall pass away, then annihilation, the perishing of the end.” Daniel 7:27-28 “He shall reign with dominion great all kingdoms underneath the whole of heavens (HELL), give the people under all of heaven to the people of Allah, for his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall be in reverence and full obedience (the main focus of Islam), for here revelation ended with, Daniel (God is my judge), the thought was greatly alarming, and my face whitened sick.” Revelation 1:1 "Apocalypse! Jesus Christ demonstrates a god (Allah) giveth unto his slaves (Muslims), these things must soon take place, for the apostle is a sign, in bonds is John." Revelation 13:18 "Here is wisdom: let him with understanding number the multitude of the beast (Allah) for it is the multitude of a man (Muhammed) and his multitude cometh BESM (6 - in the name of) ALLAH (6 - The Most High) ISLAM (6 - in the full submission)." Revelation 20:4 "All shall see a throne, for judgment shall be given unto the souls of those who behead people (Muslims) because of the testimony of Jesus on account of a Word (Quran) from their god (Allah). (Judgment) Anyone who does reverence to the beast (Allah) or his representative (Muhammed), receiving the mark on the forehead or hand. For the dead shall come to life. The king shall reign, Messiah, a thousand years."
There are far more useful and non biased breakdowns of the Middle Eastern influences you can find online. Also highly suggest actually researching what Herbert himself had to say about Islam, religion, and its influence on dune. Might not be what you expect. "Much that was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the teaching of religion by rules and rote is largely a hoax" - dune
Keep in mind that the Freeman in Dune, like the Muslims, are very warlike people. The Freeman, when given the opportunity, committed the biggest genocide in human history in Dune. In short, they're not good people..

@@deanmckenna7641, the writer Edgar Rice Burroughs influenced much with "A Princess of Mars." I have this weird feeling that "Dune 2" will break into the top 100 movies on my favorites list. I love "Star Wars" since a child. I hated "Dune" in 1984 with Sting. I love Sting as an musician. "Dune" in 2021 is good and I really liked it, but somehow the Anti-Christ (Mahdi) making it to Jerusalem is unlikely to surpass "Star Wars." It might be interesting in a SCI-FI film to see Islam's vision of peace, and so I am glad that "Dune" will have a part two, but I'm not holding my breath that it will make the top 100 favorite movies. As a child when I read the book I felt it pulled from Lawrence of Arabia and Islamic culture of the Caucasus or Bedouin tribes of Arabia, but I never got the idea of Atreides being America with capitalism waning. The movie in 2021 helped me see that connection. The Fremen call Paul the Mahdi is a dead give away that this whole thing is an Islamic end times vision. Hence the dead bodies that Paul sees piling up as he fulfills his place in history, by leaving America and being a Muslim as that is how the first movie ends. Here is where these three related series have fallen so far and any you don't see aren't loved enough to mention. 20) Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back (1980) 21) Star Wars: a New Hope (1977) 112) John Carter (2012) 148) Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983) 269) Dune (2021) To quote the author "I am showing you the superhero syndrome and your own participation in it." - Frank Herbert, speaking about "Dune." "A Princess of Mars," from 1912, inspired things like: Star Wars, Avatar, Indiana Jones, Superman, and Dune. "A Princess of Mars" even inspired Ray Douglas Bradbury. If you want to see a movie of it, see "John Carter" from 2012. But the main reason for me to watch Dune 2 is to see whether Zendaya Coleman surpasses female actresses I loved in the past. Another in the top 100 and she will surpass all female actresses at least for having three movies in the top 100. The most have six movies on the list and two doing better than her top two. She is a great actress and deserves to be in a great SCI-FI. 10) Spiderman: No Way Home (2021) 96) The Greatest Showman (2017) 190) Spiderman: Far from Home (2019) 197) Spiderman: Homecoming (2017) 269) Dune (2021) Quran 13:11b-14a says, “Never doeth Allah change the condition of a people, excepting they change themselves, and Allah intendeth evil for all people, and there is no stopping him. Neither doeth he accept an equal. Barack is he who showeth you the face of Allah, giving a fear and a hope, though heavy the clouds and the thunder, exalt and prostrate to him, for even angels fear him, for he sendeth forth thunderbolts, striking whom he wills, while they dispute before the face of Allah, and he is severe in his attack. To him alone are the prayers in truth." Quran 7:45-47 says, “Who shall avert people from the path of Allah? And who will be declared the maker of deception?

Do you really believe Barack Hussein Obama can ensure people a great final home when they worry about being torched on this Earth and yet they speak to him as if he is worth having faith in? Remember the cross of Christ.

@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106, we lost three kings in one month during the Arab Spring in Egypt, Libya, and Tunesia. We also found out the desire of women was denied in that Hillary got no cheating, but Joe Biden did get cheating of freezing the vote in six states to give us an image of his time. When he was cut off with Trump he was ruined to prosper as hatred grew under Trump. He came in with a Nobel Peace Prize and put grain offering (a note) in the wing of the temple (the Wailing Wall). When Anti-Christ is revealed at the top of Mt. Zion we squint our eyes at him saying "This the man who shakes the whole world? He shook merely the region of the first" in Isaiah 14 and indeed with WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology Tour where Barack finished it with kissing the ring of the Saudi prince the key was turned to a bottomless pit in that Muslims have been flooding into Europe ever since to burn down churches. Giving their power unto the image of a beast. So now how many more witnesses beyond four (4) do we need, when the witnesses wrote the Holy Bible and thus are reliable? Psalms 77:10 "and I uttered, 'it is making me sick, that the year has become the right hand of ALLAH.'" Psalms 77:18 “The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind, BARACK lit up the whole world. The Earth shall tremble in agitation, shake.” Psalms 77:16-20 “The waters shall see Elohim, the waters shall see a whirling in the depth, yea, tremble in agitation.

The great city split into three parts, a city of nations fell, Babylon great was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of wine, PASSION for wrath."
tbh I never read the dune books but when I first saw the movie my initial reaction was how is it so similar the current real world issues that's happening within the Muslim world! I was utterly confused if I was the only one who was feeling this way or finding all this similarities because the narrative plot in Dune just feels so similar to current scenarios
It's basically describing any of the old religions Islam is the one that still hold their very extreme rules to the modern world and that kinda explains why the fear of the religions that's rejecting the modern world
@@warning2246 I wasn't referring of that religion's (Islam) standpoint. What I meant is what is happening against that one particular religion in this current world and how dune almost seems similar to all those aspects and how they highlighted them! Yesterday I just saw the 2nd part and now I'm pretty much confirmed I was right all along!
Dune is an Easter egg in reference to the occult origins of Islam. Arrakis (Arabia) Orbits Canopus which is the Star the Kaaba is aligned with. Canopus represented by Al-Uzzá, the Goddess known as Artimpasa to the Scythians who worshiped her by circling a black stone now glued to the Kaaba. The Fremen are the Adnanites with Stilgar being Muhammad. The Atreides are the House of Karen with Paul being Salman the Persian. The Harkonen are the House of Sassanids with Baron being Khosrow I believe. The Padashah is the Ardashir title. The reference to Ceaser refers to a deep occult history pertaining to Thea Musa, daughter of Julius and Cleopatra, who was gifted by Augustus to Phraates IV- Cleos ex- by Augustus. Karen being the son of Cleo and Phraates IV whose descendants infused with the descendants of Thea and Phraates IV.
As a Muslim, I want to thank you for approaching our world with tact and intellectual openness. Dune is very Islamic-coded, so watching non-Muslims express keen curiosity in the lore and message of it has been interesting.
I am not sure but given the way he pronounced the Arabic words I would not be surprised if he was Arabic himself and therefore knew middle eastern (including its religion) personally
@@Zyzyx442 I've read the Dune series. I know other Muslims who have as well. Your question is broad. Is there anything specific you would like to know regarding our thoughts/opinions?
@@no.0x0x0x0 Most specifically the anti-messianic aspect of the movie that the Messiah/Mahdi is something to dread as it leads to fanatacism? At least that was my perception, especially in Children of Dune.
@@Zyzyx442 It's 6 books in total ! You have high hops ! I won't be surprised, if reading book one would be counted as "have read the book (series)"... LOL
Glad to see discussion around this topic as it relates to Dune. It sucks to see the director and actors promote the second film, apologetic about the first film's slowness. The contemplative nature of the first one is the emotional core of the story, more lasting and interesting than any big CGI battle.
Facts. The first film really gives you a chance to breathe and think through what’s happening. And feel it. Second film feels like so much is happening but it doesn’t really land emotionally. Only the brutal moments do
Oh shut up. You took all the time to let us breathe and experience or whatever and yet your main character is so uncharismatic (partly due to the actor himself but the story doesn't show him changing much besides an abrupt zero to hero jump).
@@timothysalinas3535 HA wrote this before seeing the movie and noticing that part 2 is similarly contemplative, obviously with more action and thrill than the first. Bardem's delivery throughout the movie stole the show for me
@@filmmoviePRODUCTIONS yeah it felt just as contemplative, or at least as deep if not deeper than the last movie, just that there's so much plot that it's happening at a faster rate. But Denis was still able to pace it in a way it was all understandable on first watch. It's amazing.
This video made me cry. As someone who was raised Muslim in the West and having internalised so much Islamaphobia throughout my life it's incredibly affirming for someone to have put into words the hate and othering I have not only experienced first hand but also projected onto Islam for so long. We live in dark times now but seeking perspectives from the past can help illuminate the way forward. I am incredibly hopeful for the future of humanity. Thank you Kazmaloop for making this! Can't wait for your next upload :)
"Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned" when ever i went through such situation i always recite these verses to remind myself its just a test
26:40 This made me cry so much. As a german teenager, that has to witness her own government failing again, by taking the side of the oppressor during this genocide.
You’ve understood the purpose of Islamic revelation, which takes a long time for most. It’s not to describe a perfect utopia to create nor a perfect person to be, but in consideration of the thousands upon thousands of human existence in this world, and for untold thousands upon thousands more to go, humanity will undergo many forms of darknesses, it is guidance for how to retain humanity across imperfect times, and return at the end of times with a soul that isn’t disfigured.

Loved this material. I adore Dune and have also explored Islam through my studies. I met Palestinian immigrants living in my country, and their strong devotion and compassion fascinated me. What is going on in Palestine is revealing to us what "the West" is really about. As a Latin American, It is important to understand our Latin American countries are not even considered "The West" by the ruling countries of the world so why are we trying to emulate their sort of high morality that is truly non-existent? This mentality is very hard to overcome and I probably have more in common with my Palestinian brothers and sisters than we have with the US or any European country in terms of the struggle of life and how the colonizers destabilize our countries and rob our futures. May peace be with you all.
High morality as in value of life above everything else, as in valuing rationality over misticality I would say thats very Western and the cause of a lot of the things that are good with the world. Islam i would say from my reduced knowledge about it doesnt value life nearly as much as being faithful to a god. For example in Sharia law loads of people are judged as unfaithful and killed just based on that fact. That is also part of Islam, to ignore that flaw is allowing evil to happen. The west also has a lot of flaws but is clearly much less primitive.
@@leonantonioreisenauer111 your reduced knowledge is based on prejudiced anti Muslim tropes that we've heard a thousand times over, in comparison to the first commentor who bases his opinion on his studies and interactions with Muslims. The west only values life when it applies to their allies as we've seen with Ukraine vs Gaza, so it remains a fickle power hungry structure that will turn a blind eye to atrocities for it's own interests and wield its power like a chess player. As the more powerful, the Western politicians sets the narrative and manufacturers consent for it's crimes from its people by claiming a superiority over human rights. God tells Muslims to protect human life at all costs even if it means partaking in what is impermissible to preserve it, e.g. eating pork in times of starvation if that is all that is available. The difference is that while westerners have a blameful ungrateful attitude towards God whenever something bad happens to you, Muslims thank God in times of both hardship and ease and remember to remain grateful to Him as every experience is a lesson and trial
@@leonantonioreisenauer111and thats your first flaw in which you’ve stated, youre reduced knowledge regarding the subject. To value life is one of the most important thing in islam and leading any harm to anything from the smallest ants to an elephant is Haram or forbidden and is only allowed for food and self defense.
nah bro plz don't defend something u shouldn't i don't live in west neither i knew anything accept islam, i was so into islam i loved it until i realized it's the most f up shit , it doesn't value life accept muhammad's ego @@kai-jf2vd
Islamic language, and culture, Herbert deftly left their mark on Dune. But it is important to realize that Dune takes place 20,000 years in the future-Nothing of the world today, including religions, races, governments, culture, and etiquette lives on in a pure form-The far flung future contains but notes of today’s world. Notes in new arrangements played with new instruments. So, while Islam is an inspiration for the Fremen, Zensunni Wanderers, and Arrakis itself. The Freman are not Arabs, are not Muslims, they are in the truest sense vaguely inspired by Arab culture, although Buddhism comes into play there.
Brett Devereaux made a great essay series called the Fremen Mirage that sorta speaks about this. I think rather than Fremen being Muslims or Arabs, they're rather the epitome of the very popular but extremely inaccurate phrase "hard times create strong men."
that's called allegory dude, the fremen might not be literally arabs but they don't need to be to convey the message, and for us the audience to connect the dots. or are you gonna tell me you can't figure out the meaning of a story without a narrator telling it to you like a 5 year old?
Another underemphasized current within Dune is the potency of dreams. The movie starts with the strange utterance that 'Dreams are messages from the deep', which is a direct paraphrase of Carl Jung's "Dreams are messages sent up from the unconscious". This concept itself parallels the Sufi tradition that the dream is a wellspring of metaphysical existence bubbling up into the 'nafs' (the lowest rung of the mind as per Sufi doctrine), an existence that is unburdened by the transient nature of physical time (referenced in the "Mirage" story of the Prophet Mohammad). Modern neuroscience posits that mammalian visual pathways are refined to perfection in the complete darkness of the womb when the fetus 'dreams', firing spontaneous 'dream-like' activity in the visual cortex and retinae and optic nerve tract without the animal once opening its eyes to see anything in the physical world. In Dune, Paul transcends the linear confines of time by 'dreaming' about various streams of events branching and budding and merging via a multitude of kaleidoscopic possibilities. Just an interesting connection.
I was very reluctant to like Dune because of how I felt it exploited Arab Muslim culture to serve whatever it wanted to do, but watching this video made me realize that I need to rewatch the movie with new eyes and definitely get around to reading the book. And as a non Arab Muslim, I can say for sure how anti Arab sentiments have also affected non Arabs purely through the shared connection of our faith and or culture. I had to dig myself out of a hole of self hatred and even extremist ideals not because of my faith, but how I felt I was perceived by the wider world. Fortunately for me I was able to grow and find a better way forward. All in all this video is one of those times when I'm consuming media talking about people like me and I feel like I don't have to defend myself or what I believe in. I feel understood. And it gives me hope. Amazing video brother.
Me too I personally found it ironic that it was a big budget movie talking about topics like this but maybe I’m just defensive over Islam and I want it represented justly and as it is 😭
To be honest internalized Islamopobhia has run so rampant globally, Muslims all over the world felt the impact of this black campaign. And in a weird ironic way the palestininan genocide has helped me to be more muslim, to see the moral hypocrisy of the Western world and help me practice my religion without a shred of shame.
@Ninaloasana exactly! I feel like Muslims esp in the west seek validation because of insecurities over our faith not aligning with where they live so they get excited when a non Muslim or brand acknowledges them , but in truth we should only seek Allahs validation !!
I think Frank Herbert was one of the few writers who read GK Chestertons Everlasting Man and adopted the idea that Islam was a religion that was almost perfectly adapted to desert live in 7th century Arabia. And he really tried to paint Fremen as shaped by the Desert.
@conforzo what are you talking about its the most growing religion because people stop this negative view point of it and gave it a chance and actually read it
Frehmen society is not held by their religion primarily, it's held by their material condition. In the deserts of Dune, environment is so harsh it's "man vs nature". Also, no surplus of resources produced. That's why people more likely bond together - just to survive. When the nature is dominated and surplus is being produced then it turns into "man vs man".
This is so true. The more flourishing society becomes the less religous they are. Religon is a great story for the masses to have hope and keep fighting. But once the fight is won that story starts becoming less and less needed. It's all a survival mechanism.
What an incredibly underrated video. I am blown away. Your observations are so astute, and the conclusions you draw make so much sense. This has given me such a deeper understanding not only of Dune, but of the world that we live in.
This video is truly amazing. Been taking some philosophy and religious history classes and we just finished our Islam section. (Obviously am not an expert but it’s still a new perspective I wouldn’t have had without the class) Also have been into dune for a while now. Very impressed with how well you connected the two and critiqued our current society and how it is going. Shared this with a few friends. Thank you!
Thank you for making this. I had to cry at the end, how can you be so evil that you mock people morning their dead after you killed them? The absolute evil of that "state" is something I haven't seen or heard even in fiction.
Israhell is truly the greatest evil of our modern times. I’ve seen only a snippet of the horror on the ground through journalist pictures and videos - but it’s enough for me to know that Zionism is a great evil. It must be dismantled. Free Palestine.
I think context means everything. If you feel that you were attacked, then retaliated against some group, and conquered them you will think it’s okay to mock their tragedy…. Israel vs Palestine is a struggle between two nations who have each been evil towards one another for generations so how do you take a side outside of your spiritual beliefs?
@@keelhe893 two nations? What two nations? For 75 years Palastanians have lived under apartheid for 16 years Gaza has been under a brutal blockade, what two nation? Israel has always been on the offensive they are occupiers they are the offenders and fighting back against your oppressors is the most righteous thing a person can ever do. If Jews have a "right" to live there no one has taken that "right" they lived there for centuries unimpeded. But they don't have the right steal other people's homes they don't have the right kill others, they don't have the right to put them in concentration camps they don't have the right to force them to live as refugees in their own country under a brutal apartheid regime. No there are no two ways about it. One side is and has always been pure evil, they have impeded every peacful resolution they have stopped Oslo accords and two state solution they have continued to build illigal settlements, where do you think these settlements are built? They literally bolldoze people's homes sometimes even when these people are still inside, the brutal inhumanity with how palastanians have been treated for 75. And you still think there's two sides? How blind and inhuman can you be?
@@keelhe893you do so by first examining the core claims of each side, irrespective of the brutality. First you decide on the morality of cause, then you contemplate the level of violence. And there can be differences on this. You might deem a cause worthy, but you might not consider harming non-combatants a moral course of action to achieve that cause. Is it justified to seize another person’s land and home, by claiming that you were driven out from that land 2000 years ago by another empire that collapsed more than 1500 years ago. Is it justified to resist with all means, peaceful and violent, a person who drove you out of your home and then continues to deprive you of your national dignity. Morality of violence rests on the core justification for it. If the justification is righteous, then it could be righteous violence. In fact committing violence for a cause might be the most moral course of action. That is the moral decision every human has to make for himself in his lifetime. What is it that you will fight for with all the might you can muster. What is your hill to die on.
As a white revert to Islam Paul’s indoctrination into the freman was really cool to see it obv wasn’t violent or anything or in anyway repulsive or unwelcoming I relate to Paul by being a outsider and taken in as a friend to a group of people who want nothing for what’s best for you and people who genuinely care for you
Thank you so much for making this. I am not a Muslim but the Islamic influences of Dune are what captivate me the most and I have often wondered how Muslim readers of the text feel about the portrayal. Thanks again
I am Muslim, and a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels. I was introduced to the Dune novels through the video games. Off the bat, in the game I realized the usage of Arabic terms. This led me to get my hands on the novels to get a better perspective of the author’s views. I took it as it is, a fantasy story, a what if scenario. So it was really fun to read and I consider the novels as a classic.
Dune may explain only one dimension of our Islamic civilisation, yes we are resistant and we refuse to bow down to any creature yet we uphold justice high and we are forgiving. But we never forget
I am a muslim, and I enjoyed the movie a lot. I noticed several Islamic symbolisms and its parallelism to the movie, though they may be mostly more Arabic than Islamic, because they have more to do with the way of life of the Fremen (Arabic themes), rather than the core values of the religion itself (the Islamic themes). It is important because Islam does not represent Arab, as the core values are directed more towards humanity itself as a whole (at least what the religion was originally built for). However, some Arabian cultures may be present in a few of the Islamic teachings, though they are not something to be practiced obligatorily. This is why I believe there are more Arabian themes than the Islamic themes, but there are uses of some Islamic vocabularies, such as Mahdi. Mahdi is believed to be “the savior” in Islamic tradition. The movie itself could still stand as its own show without those, but those Arabic and Islamic elements are definitely the most interesting and captivating elements to experience. But yeah, good movie overall. Too bad not too many people in my theater saw it tho, they’re truly missing a lot.
Dune is not a portrayal of Islam. It's spiritualist aspects are just inspired by it. It's not meant to be an allegory of Islam itself or representative of it in any way but just a source of inspiration for symbolism and themes.
As a muslim from an arab country i recently started to understand the magnitude of hate that has been indoctrinated into the western mind towards us , amidst the hate i see on social media every day , ur video comes as a breath of fresh air , thank u for being a decent human being .
@@speckysteven to the human condition. I don't share my beliefs with the Muslim community, but I share my humanity with them. From my part of the world most media coverage on Muslims paint them negatively. We have movies and games that do this in a way that makes one numb to the human condition of a whole group of people especially in the Middle East. As a Christian man watching this, it just reminded me that Love transcends all differences among brothers, to truly love is to see yourself in others and feel their pain as yours. Whether one is Muslim or Christian or any other religion on this Earth, it is my opinion that we need to do better for each other and to show compassion and tolerance.
Frank Herbert was a brilliant man, and there is a lot of great material in DUNE, but he’s not an Islamic scholar so it’s worth actually studying Islam with Muslims to understand more.
I was surprised to see the ending of this video. The context that builds throughout the video really makes the last few clips like a gut punch. Thank you for sharing and highlighting the issues at the end. I certainly wasn't expecting something like that in a Dune video essay but the video was written perfectly to highlight that. Free Palestine.

Thank you for making this. I just spoke to my mother yesterday about the subjects of Dune and how western audiences were purposely avoiding themes the story told. Thank you for bringing focus back to what this story is about.
Wow, as someone with roots in Iraq, born and raised in Sweden. This really hits hard, the ending was fantastic, even made me cry hahah. Thank you so much for making such an informative and detailed video, I feel like this subject about the alienation of arabs is not brought up enough and you made such a good job with this video ❤
When I watched the movie Dune for the first time in the cinema and read the entire novel, I was amazed by the strong similarity in Arab culture, especially Bedouin, because I am an Arab and a Bedouin, and some similarity in Arabic terms such as Mahdi, shay hulod , Lisan al-Ghayb, especially spices, and in araks = oil, and most of it. in the Arab world. In the Gulf, I started to cry and i got chill because of its similarity to the reality we live in. I tried to explain Dune's similarity to some people online about the strong similarity in Arab culture, and they didn't believe me. They told me that I was delusional and tired of the situation until your video came out. You explained it in detail, and I am trying to convey that. The Internet is great in detail and in the Islamic religion, but they still make fun of me because I am Muslim, and they are racist towards me. I didn't come to please anyone. I have only tried to convey information that I consider important to me as an Arab Bedouin Muslim. For how similar the film and novel are to the reality we live in, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. and explainer video. I hope it reaches all the people who are interested in Dune and that they understand what I mean. Thank you very much and free Palestine ❤❤🍉🍉 I hope my english is good to understand my point 😅😂
I read the books and was shocked at all the references to Islam. Paul's story is very very similar to the story of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. In the second book, Arrakis becomes a place of pilgrimage with the author even using the word hajj.
I share your sentiment. Being a Belgian of Moroccan descent I noticed the Arabic and Islamic references in Dune immediately. I had no pre knowledge of the books or anything else about the Dune world. So first thing I did after watching the movie in the cinema was to google this question and was not able to find much so I gave up pretty quickly thinking it was just coincidence. This video essay worded my feelings about the current world perfectly. I am secular myself and not a practicing muslim but whatever the enemies and adversaries of Islam believe or wish for Islam and muslims are here to stay. Free Palestine 🍉
Jey, I thought it was obvious to anone, I don't habe any real connection to arab culture and it was so obvious. Maybe being from Brazil amd habing portuguese/arabic influence in many things helped me see that? I wish I knew more about Bedouins, seems like such a beautiful culture and.... I might be betrying my ignorance here but... way of life?! ❤❤ also: FREE PALESTINE!

Liked the mashup Lawrence of Arabia with Paul of Arrakis, with Malcolm X on the Hajj as an implicit counterpoint to that archetype. Nice way to shift which family is at the center of the narrative. Herbert was trying to question the Heroic story, and what Malcolm X saw after the Hajj might be a better way to achieve that goal than anything in the English storyteller's toolbox. I Like the way you highlight Arabic words. In our world Herbert functions sort of like the Missionaria Protectiva on Arrakis, setting up concepts to be elaborated by those yet to be born when the foundations were laid. Toynbee is also nice to start off with. I have read discourse about where Samuel Huntington got his idea of the West in Clash of Civilizations, and never seen Toynbee mentioned. There is also the issue of which lands are in "the West." Do Slavic lands, or Catholic countries other than Enlightenment France play any role in it?. Sicily, Austria, Hungary, Euskara, Eire. Much of the Americas was Christianized by Spain, Andalucia, which spent several centuries in which the Koran was more important than the ritual of the Mass, let alone reading the "Orange Catholic" Bible. Much of Europe has experienced the multiculturalism of invading armies in ways gringos outside a few blocks of New York city never have.
I’m Muslim and also a politics uni student. I’ve seen so much change in the discourse surrounding western power, and every middle eastern I’ve spoken to is fixedly anti-west, including myself. I think our communities are starting to realise that practicing passivity won’t mean that you’ll be left alone. When your land has been ravaged and pillaged, your culture obliterated, your history stolen, you entire existence basically spat on, you can’t help but anticipate the west’s eventual fall. Islam doesn’t promise triumph or anything, but it does promise justice, and we believe there will be justice, one way or another. The true strength of muslims is that we are at peace even when the entire world wants nothing more but to wipe us out. There’s nothing stronger than conviction.
Islam committed everything you accuse the West of and more. Your faith was already spread through jihad and conquest. And you probably live in the West.
Paul tries to avoid the jihad. Paul does not want to be the Mahdi. The movies are a warning against fanatics and religion. You will see Stilgar flip his shit in the third movie.
All i can say is wow. This whole thing is a piece of art. It taught me so many things in less than 30 minutes. Probs to you bro, you did such a good job on this one. You got a very bright future ahead of you. Keep on grinding
I have seen a few YT essays on Dune, but your video is by far my favorite. I recently watched Dune 2 without any prior knowledge as to where the story was headed. Being a Muslim myself, I had an icky feeling watching it. My thoughts on the films are too long for a yt comment though.😅 I found it refreshing that you used Muslim sources for Islam, and your video ending had me in tears. Thank you for that thought-provoking experience.
This was mind-blowing! I saw Dune and noticed the striking similarities between the Dune universe and geopolitical reality, as well as depictions of Islamic culture and heritage, but you took it to a whole new level! Thank you for the quality time experience.
Thank you for posting this. What an interesting essay you narrate. As someone who grew up around a lot of xenophobia specifically islamophobia, it's a revelation to finally see some discussion about why we fear those who are different religions from us. I loved Dune and immediately caught wind of the Islamic referencing - I was so curious to really dig into them as you did. I also appreciate your inclusion of the speaker at the end. Great Video!
Holy Quran 3:169 169 “Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead. In fact, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for.” Just wanted to add more info as well. But I have to say great commentary and breakdown brother. Much love and respect. Assalaamu Alaykum (Peace Be With You).
the end was very powerful, and yes your quote from the quran 13:24 keeps us going no matter how much brutality and hate we face, for Allah is enough for us. May Allah bless you for your work whether you are a muslim or not
It's crazy how frank Herbert used Islam as a backdrop for themes that propelled the narrative of the main character and YET, the main character is no hero he's actually the villain. Makes you think of his view on the actual religion itself also.
This was an excellent take on the first Dune book and the state of the world and its relation to Islam. You covered everything from the Ottomans to the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people with Hadith and verses from the Quran in the video. The verse from the Quran in the last few seconds of the video was the cherry on top. Loved the style of narration in the video in the inclusion of sidenotes and corrections on the screen. This is perhaps my favourite video on this platform. Up until now, it was Jacob Geller's "Judaism , Whiteness and Wolfenstein" that touched similar ideas and issues but you have clearly surpassed it. You just gained a new subscriber.
this is a fantastic video. I loved and agreed with your analysis, and I really appreciated the footage of Palestine and quotation at the end. excellent work!
Herbert was warning the West of the dangers of a false desert Prophet who would arise manipulate a desert tribal people and bring holy war and destruction to the world and establish a hellish religio-political empire enslaving humanity. The parallels of Paul Asteides to the Prophet are many.
This might the most beautifully articulated sentence I've heard in a long time, incredible 👏🏾👏🏾 "In this binary winged world of the west, Muslims and thus Islam have remained flightless...but perhaps being grounded is a perspective necessary to survive in the growing turbulence in this shifting environment"
Yes, Dune was heavily influenced from Islamic tradition but the whole scene about Prophecy, Messiah, and Mahdi aspects are leaning more towards Judaism and to some extent Christianity rather than Islam. It is true that believing in to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and Mahdi to rescue then lead Muslims to victory at the End of Time is a part of believe or Imaan, but it's not the core foundation of Islamic believe tenet and teaching. Well if look at it even by a glimpse, Dune spirituality and religion are Paganism also the whole Bene Geserit thing is magic. All those things are forbidden and the gravest sins in Islam
@@puneetmishra4726 Islam doesn't borrow and plagiarize Judaism and Christianity, it inherits and amends them. There's no such thing as prevailing against God. There's no such thing as intercession with Son of God and Holy Ghost There's only submission and servitude to the All Mighty, the Supreme One.
@@vuvuvu6291 I can not use the word "inherit" as Jews never agreed to give their theology to Muslims and always maintained that Mohammad is a false prophet. As for the rest, that is your belief. I won't comment on that. However, the "submission" to God or treating God as Master and Men as his slave is rather very common theme in semitic religions, most of them are now extinct, leaving only their fragments. Abrahamic branch of semitism is only one that's still surviving.
@@puneetmishra4726 Whether Jews and Christians believe or disbelief in Islam, it's their rights. It's what Islam says and Muslims must believe be it there is or isn't scientific evidence, yet. The religion of Abraham is not part of any Semitic religions. It doesn't derived or branching from any of those religions. It is brand new, a revolutionary religion by that era standard. Abraham and Lot were teaching monotheism and worship a God without images and idols. Is it possible to achieve their feat if they are deriving the religion from Paganism? Like we see Buddhism. Be it they only revered Siddhartha Gautama, but as it was derived from Hinduism, the Pagan aspect persists as they still allow to worship Buddha and to some extent the saints through iconography and idols.
@@vuvuvu6291 Oh yes, Abrahamic religion is indeed semitic and absolutely derived from the old semitic religions. A great example is that of Assyrians who also believed that there god Ashur is not only the greatest but the only true one and this belief fuelled their over-agressive campaigns against all of their neighbours. You read the inscriptions of any Assyrian kings and their words as in how they are the God's chosen representatives on earth, are very similar to the proclamations of any medieval Christian or Muslim king. The Canaanites, the Sumerians, the Babylonians et al were all the believers in similar thought. They are of course classified as "pagans" in the old testament because the writers of the Bible couldn't understand that their beliefs are very much similar to them. As far as practices are concerned, they are indeed inspired by the old semitic religions, polytheistic or not. The greatest example is the circumambulation of the black stone of Kaaba. Is it not a direct derivation of the custom of the Quraysh before they converted? It is rather amusing how Abrahamic religions proclaim their superiority by being monotheist and using the word "pagan" in derogatory sense for other schools of thought. I won't say anything else on that.
This was absolutely an amazing breakdown and very insightful as you connected all the dots from different angles. Just subscribed to your channel and keep up the great work.
This was amazing. I’m a white Muslim living in the west and ever since I watched Dune for the first time I’ve become obsessed… I think I know why. Thank you for the video
not gonna lie I stoped following movies or any news bout movies but I remembered that dune which is one of the greatest movies I saw ,so a vid on ted was titled "why you should read dune" and then this video appeared, by far is this one of the greatest videos I have seen this year so far great explantation
Whats missing from the cultural analysis is that just as (modernist) materialist cultures (not just the west; see china, russia, europe) adopts Islam for their own (geopolitical) benefit, radical islam does the same, which is radical precisely because it borrows from modernity moral expediency, sacrificing fidelity. Eg suic*de is haram, so is taking innocent life. See MBZ's propaganda piece in the NYTimes regarding the dangers of Islamists. Therefore that "comedian" "joking" like that could be considered by religious scholars as haram, based on what Prophet Muhammed (SAWS) stated regarding joking about the religion. So that comedian could be construed as an Islamist because he adopted the moral and mental framework of modernity by accepting expediency.
It's amazing how the novel seems so much relevant today despite being written over 50 years ago, but there is also a parallel that can be seen in the controlled and planned religion deciminated among less powerful societies and the spread of soviet and now russian/chinese influence in the global south, which was emerging around the time the first dune books were released. Just as the mahdi figure for the freman was basically an artificially constructed prophecy by bene gesserit, the whole discourse around socialism and liberation and it's promised utopian prospects was little more than a tool for the soviets to use in the cold war. Before I start getting angry replies by the leftists - I'm not saying that western colonialism is not an issue, but rather that it's much easier to redognise and put the blame on: returning to the dune examples, the Harkonnens are an example of how the west approaches colonial subjugation, while Atrides is more the soviet and, to a certain extent modern chinese version of colonialism. Same results, different approaches, and no point in debating which one is better.
Amazing just amazing. Thank you, I was waiting for someone to analyze the Islamic aspects of dune. You did it brilliantly, thank you for respecting my religion, May Allah bless you
As a Muslim, the “islamic” aspects in the movie were tenuous at best and felt somewhat flat and superficial, exotic for the sake of the exotic. Might appeal to a more Western audience and to the uninitiated.
Yeup the entire movie was like a rollercoaster ride for western leftists who think they know anything of Islamic values let alone the Society they live in is completely different than those who live in western bubble with western values. They actually believe that Islam would want to coexist with western values when in reality Islam wants to dismantle it and promote Sharia law
The film removes a lot of the nuance present in the books. This is likely because of the decades of cultural erasure that hollywood has practiced on us. I encourage you to read the book. The films are fun in their own right though.
Thank you for shining the light on what it surprisingly still misunderstood , Islam is a religion that's been fought against since the beginning of it , just like how prephets is taourah and Injil (bible) were being mocked and killed ...whenever there's truth and order , humans greed and selfishness takes over ...only few follow And ofc 🍉 from the river to the sea The good always wins
Amazing video, it’s really brought me to realize the own islamophobia that is present within my Greek family, I’ve almost always heard terrible things about muslims and yet seeing this has made me realize just how desensitized I was to it, I can’t get through Easter without my grandmother ironically complaining about refugees.
Are you not aware of the Islamic imperial concepts that has taken place in Greece? Is prejudice okay? Now but let’s not pretend like it’s not understandable, what you thought southern Europe magically has Muslims bc of peaceful missionary trips 😂
@@justchilling704 Don’t act like I don’t know what happened to my people, I know full well what the Turks did and are continuing to do, what does that have to do with my family hating Arab refugees who, if anything, had and continue to have to face Turkish repression as well. What does an Arab mother with her child who comes on Fox News have to do with the Ottoman and Turkish government, and what does it mean when my grandparents, uncles, aunts talk about how their terrorists? You Americans always think of yourselves as some sort of geniuses when it comes to foreign relations yet you have no idea the actual genuine effects these events have on people, you have no idea what it means to see your family go completely silent and relive hell for a few seconds.
@@justchilling704 You Americans always think you know more about history than anyone in the world and it’s funny cause all you ever know is some dumb fucking Wikipedia article. You people have no idea what it’s like to lose family members to ethnic violence, you have no idea what it’s like seeing your family member’s eyes go blank as they remember what happened. And yet you think you have the right to judge me on my beliefs, you think it’s alright to hate some starving Syrian family just cause they’re Muslims, what did they have to do with the Turkish government, what do they have to do with Assad? You people will never change.
If you haven’t read Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, be careful about assigning “good” and “bad” labels to the characters, as moral ambiguity is a big theme in the books
Denis Villeneuve's Dune movie uses the term "holy war" instead of "jihad" to avoid the conventional association of jihad with Islamic terrorism. The word "jihad" is a foundational term and an essential concept in Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune, where Paul Atreides leads a jihad. However, the trailer for Dune uses the Christian term "crusade". Some say that the promotional material is pushing the movie as a typical chosen one savior story, so when the story actually plays out it'll be more of a shock to unsuspecting viewers.

This was absolutely an amazing breakdown and very insightful as you connected all the dots from different angles.
Just subscribed to your channel and keep up the great work.
Holy Quran 3:169
169 “Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead. In fact, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for.”
Just wanted to add more info as well. But I have to say great commentary and breakdown brother. Much love and respect.
Assalaamu Alaykum (Peace Be With You).
You, Sir, know your history better than i was expecting. Excellent video.
@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106, by the mouth of many witnesses a thing is established. Habakkuk and Ezekiel speak.
Habakkuk 1:9-13 "All come, Hamas, assemble the horde of the east, gather the captives like sand. Mock the ruler, and their judgment a joke, laugh as all strongholds become rubble, seize them, then pass through like the wind, pass through guilty by the strength of your god. From of old Yahweh, He is the god Holy, who died? Yahweh, the appointed judge, and the Rock will establish the judgment. The one who was overcome is pure. He sees the evil's power. Look at the evil. What do you see? Do you favor the ones who do wickedly? Are you silent when the wicked swallow those more righteous than them?"
Habakkuk 3:11-13 "From the east the crescent stood at the heights, walking in the light of the weapons, the radiance of Barack (Husein Obama) from the thrust. There is indignation at his march on the Earth; in anger he trampled the nations. He went forth for the salvation of his people; for the salvation he's anointed. Now strike the head of the house of the wicked; lay him open from thigh to neck, commune with the Lifted High."
Ezekiel 1:13-14 “for the living being was like a consumed ember, a consumed vision upright, shall he walk among living beings, fiery and bright was Barack, he had come out of the consummation. The living beings ran to and fro before the vision of Barack.”
Ezekiel 21:2-5 "Son of man set your face towards Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuary and prophecy against the land of Israel, and say to the land of Israel, "Thus saith Yahweh, "Behold I am against, and the drawn sword from the sheath, and cut off shall be the righteous and the wicked. ON THIS ACCOUNT cut off the righteous and the wicked, thus the drawn sword from the sheath, against all flesh south north, ALL FLESH SHALL KNOW YAHWEH, the drawn sword from the sheath, never to turn back again."""
Ezekiel 21:9-12 “Son of man prophecy and say, Yahweh utters, “a sword, a sword is sharpened and moreover laid bare, sharpened for slaughter the slaughter of laid bare Barack, for shall we rejoice at the son who rejects all the branches of humanity? For it was first given laid bare the handle sharpened and laid bare and set into the hand of the destroyer (Abaddon or Apollyon). Cry out in anguish, son of man. And my people, all the so blessed of God’s Word (Israel) are delivered unto the sword. My people! Thus I shall strike him at the thigh.”
Ezekiel 21:13-15 “Test your community. Truly, also the scepter which despises shall be no more, declares the Lord Yahweh. Son of man prophecy and clap your hands together, the sword twice, and now the third time, the sword pierces, the sword for the great one as it pierces those who indwelt and surrounded them. The inner being (demons) weaken greatly, they were brought down to cause stumbling, All of them are at the gate (of hell). Give them to slaughter by the sword. Alas, they had made Barack (Hussein Obama) and caught themselves up for the slaughter.”"
Ezekiel 21:28 “and son of man prophecy and say, All utters Lord Yahweh, towards teaching towards this reproach, say a sword, a sword has been drawn and laid bare for the slaughter to consume Barack.”
Do Job and Moses the earliest writers of the Holy Bible agree with this testimony?
Job 26:6 "naked death before Abaddon, and nothing shall cover them over."
Job 26:13-14 “by his breath the heavens are cleared, his hand shall pierce BARACK, a serpent. Behold ALLAH the end of his ways. How? A whisper, a word, hear the strength and the thunder. Who can discern?”
Deuteronomy 29:25-29 "and they will say, 'ALLAH (the accursed), for they forsook the covenant of Yahweh the God of their fathers, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall cut off they who were brought out of the land of Egypt.' They will come to serve another god (Allah), and prostrate before a god, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall know to divide. And the breath of Yahweh shall burn against that land (Palestine whole - see Isaiah 14:29-31) to bring upon all a curse written in this book. Yahweh shall uproot the land in anger, fury of great wrath, to cast another land as it is this day concealed. Yahweh our God. Uncover the Son. For unto the last, this is the observance of all of the words of this book of law."
Deuteronomy 32:41 “Truly I cut into Barack with a sword, for My hand shall accomplish justice, I will turn back the vengeance of My adversaries, to repay all those who hate Me.”
Zephaniah 2:12 "Moreover Cush (horn of Africa black man) I shall slay by My sword."
Quran 13:11b-14a says, “Never doeth Allah change the condition of a people, excepting they change themselves, and Allah intendeth evil for all people, and there is no stopping him. Neither doeth he accept an equal. Barack is he who showeth you the face of Allah, giving a fear and a hope, though heavy the clouds and the thunder, exalt and prostrate to him, for even angels fear him, for he sendeth forth thunderbolts, striking whom he wills, while they dispute before the face of Allah, and he is severe in his attack. To him alone are the prayers in truth."
Quran 7:45-47 says, “Who shall avert people from the path of Allah? And who will be declared the maker of deception? They were focused on the Hereafter, disbelievers. Between them shall be a barrier a family of men of Obama, who shall recognize them all by their markings. And one (Barack Obama) shall call out to the companions of Paradise, “PEACE ON YOU.” They shall not have entered, but shall have the assurance. And his eyes shall turn towards the people to be torched for they cry out, “Lord let us not be cast into fire among the wicked” but the man Obama shall say, “I know you by your looks, but none of your riches or pride of life shall avail you now, for these men have sworn that you may never earn the mercy of Allah.” Then he shall turn to his own BARACK (the blessing) shall say, “Come with me to paradise, for you will have nothing to fear, neither regret.””
Why would they have such little faith in a time they know they are about to be torched, while talking to Barack Hussein Obama? Well because he already had two times, was cut off to prosper in the sense hatred grew hugely under the era of Trump, we got an image of his time now and that is almost over. The desire of women was denied; Hillary never made it. He came in with a Nobel Peace Prize already in hand. He put grain offering in the wing; people put paper into the Wailing Wall all the time and he did too.
He removed three kings in Egypt, Libya, and Tunesia and turned the key to that bottomless pit by WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology tour where at the end he kissed the ring of the Saudi prince over the Ka'aba in Mecca. So he caused the Arab Spring and they have been flooding out of that bottomless pit into Europe to burn down churches ever since so the second beast is giving their power unto the image of a beast.
Ten stupid Muslim leaders will demand a place in his throne room at the top of Mt. Zion and they will reign with him for one literal hour for he has already fulfilled the Holy Bible, so they reign just long enough for one piss break into their pants when they see Xi and Putin have no plans to prostrate five times a day to Barack Hussein Obama for seven years and they don't have to for the Muslims picked the one person who fulfilled enough already for all of them to rush to be with demons in hell real quick for the whole world will be judged by fire when Islam looks to have won over Christianity and Judaism.
@@wandering3ngineer, Daniel speaks of beast ruling over the region of the Middle East and has seven with an 8th from a far.
Yet he also brings up North and South and by prophecy shows through time that the North is Christianity and the South is Islam, but only over time as first there is gradual transformation, but the prophecies slowly show North must be Christianity and not one country or organized political power any more and for South it can't be one nation as parts of the prophecy reveal Egypt, but over time happen when the Ottoman Empire exists and no longer even in the Egyptian region.
WHAT IS HISTORY, for as far as I can tell the prophecy is nearly completely fulfilled? See if you can follow me, in this:
1st BEAST is Babylon (Shinar)
2nd BEAST is Persia (Elam)
3rd BEAST is Greece (Goiim)
4th BEAST is Rome (diverse in that it did not exist in Genesis 14)
Christ Jesus came and bruised the head.
5th BEAST is the Holy Roman Empire ("is, and is not, and yet is" for Christ Jesus bruised the head)
6th BEAST is Byzantine (NOT YET COME, in the time of Apostle John, who describes it as an EMPIRE for a little while)
7th BEAST is the Ottoman Empire
The 8th beast comes from the 4th beast for indeed Western Culture has been dominating the Middle East since the ripping apart of the Ottoman Empire in 1919, and we of the Western world demonstrate ourselves ever since, without a care for the past of that region, which is prideful of their past compared to the rest of the world.
"Here is a mind having wisdom: seven (7) heads (rule the region of The Middle East), seven (7) mountains (empires), where the woman is seated. Seven (7) rule, five (5) have fallen, one is another, not yet come (Byzantine), and when it come, it is necessary to remain a little while. The beast which is and is not, yet is, is also an eighth (8th) demonstrating himself, of the seventh (7th), and leadeth unto Apollyon (the Destroyer)." - Revelation 17:9-11
Daniel 7:21-22
"I kept looking and a horn was waging war with saints and overcame them. Then the Ancient of days came to judgement (resurrection of the dead and physical rapture up) to be given to the holy of the Highest One, and the time had arrived for the saints to possess a kingdom (heaven)."
Daniel 7:23
“it followed the fourth beast, the fourth kingdom (America came out of the Western world) and the Earth had changed, for all kingdoms were devoured on the whole Earth, they were tread down and crushed (the world-wide apocalypse of WWI).”
Daniel 7:24
“for the ten and their horns were of this kingdom (America drew the lines in the Middle East in 1919), ten kings (to be declared in the Middle East of the remains of The Ottoman Empire), arise and another arose after (Barack Hussein Obama in America), changing all the first and ruining three kings (Egypt, Libya, and Tunesia).”
Daniel 7:25
“He will speak against Allah, to wear out the saints of the Highest One, intending to change time to a decree (stop all time - decrees are final), and give his hand a time, and a time, and a cutting off time.”
Daniel 7:26
“But the judgment shall be final and his dominion shall pass away, then annihilation, the perishing of the end.”
Daniel 7:27-28
“He shall reign with dominion great all kingdoms underneath the whole of heavens (HELL), give the people under all of heaven to the people of Allah, for his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall be in reverence and full obedience (the main focus of Islam), for here revelation ended with, Daniel (God is my judge), the thought was greatly alarming, and my face whitened sick.”
Revelation 1:1
"Apocalypse! Jesus Christ demonstrates a god (Allah) giveth unto his slaves (Muslims), these things must soon take place, for the apostle is a sign, in bonds is John."
Revelation 13:18
"Here is wisdom: let him with understanding number the multitude of the beast (Allah) for it is the multitude of a man (Muhammed) and his multitude cometh BESM (6 - in the name of) ALLAH (6 - The Most High) ISLAM (6 - in the full submission)."
Revelation 20:4
"All shall see a throne, for judgment shall be given unto the souls of those who behead people (Muslims) because of the testimony of Jesus on account of a Word (Quran) from their god (Allah). (Judgment) Anyone who does reverence to the beast (Allah) or his representative (Muhammed), receiving the mark on the forehead or hand. For the dead shall come to life. The king shall reign, Messiah, a thousand years."
I’m not a Muslim; but I have been waiting for someone to touch the Islamic aspects of Dune for some time!
This was more about Arab-Muslims than Islam, to be honest. I'm a non-Arab Muslim and didn't really relate to any of it except the Quran part.
There are far more useful and non biased breakdowns of the Middle Eastern influences you can find online. Also highly suggest actually researching what Herbert himself had to say about Islam, religion, and its influence on dune. Might not be what you expect. "Much that was called religion has carried an unconscious attitude of hostility toward life. True religion must teach that life is filled with joys pleasing to the eye of God, that knowledge without action is empty. All men must see that the teaching of religion by rules and rote is largely a hoax" - dune
Keep in mind that the Freeman in Dune, like the Muslims, are very warlike people.
The Freeman, when given the opportunity, committed the biggest genocide in human history in Dune. In short, they're not good people..

@@SGC90-t5yYes! No child is free. All parents and social groups do their utmost to train them to their social norms. And it is considered as an obvious right and duty.
As a child of immigrant Indian Hindu parents desperately trying to hold on to their “culture”, the Islamophobia I’ve been brainwashed with has been so difficult to uproot. Thank you so much for making this, I wish I could express how much it’s helped me!
That’s because you have your humanity intact and you’re a great human being. Thank you and much love and respect
Islamophobia today is the as bad as antisemitism was in Europe during the first part of the 20th century
@@deanmckenna7641, the writer Edgar Rice Burroughs influenced much with "A Princess of Mars." I have this weird feeling that "Dune 2" will break into the top 100 movies on my favorites list.
I love "Star Wars" since a child. I hated "Dune" in 1984 with Sting. I love Sting as an musician. "Dune" in 2021 is good and I really liked it, but somehow the Anti-Christ (Mahdi) making it to Jerusalem is unlikely to surpass "Star Wars." It might be interesting in a SCI-FI film to see Islam's vision of peace, and so I am glad that "Dune" will have a part two, but I'm not holding my breath that it will make the top 100 favorite movies.
As a child when I read the book I felt it pulled from Lawrence of Arabia and Islamic culture of the Caucasus or Bedouin tribes of Arabia, but I never got the idea of Atreides being America with capitalism waning. The movie in 2021 helped me see that connection. The Fremen call Paul the Mahdi is a dead give away that this whole thing is an Islamic end times vision. Hence the dead bodies that Paul sees piling up as he fulfills his place in history, by leaving America and being a Muslim as that is how the first movie ends.
Here is where these three related series have fallen so far and any you don't see aren't loved enough to mention.
20) Star Wars: the Empire Strikes Back (1980)
21) Star Wars: a New Hope (1977)
112) John Carter (2012)
148) Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983)
269) Dune (2021)
To quote the author "I am showing you the superhero syndrome and your own participation in it." - Frank Herbert, speaking about "Dune."
"A Princess of Mars," from 1912, inspired things like: Star Wars, Avatar, Indiana Jones, Superman, and Dune. "A Princess of Mars" even inspired Ray Douglas Bradbury. If you want to see a movie of it, see "John Carter" from 2012.
But the main reason for me to watch Dune 2 is to see whether Zendaya Coleman surpasses female actresses I loved in the past. Another in the top 100 and she will surpass all female actresses at least for having three movies in the top 100. The most have six movies on the list and two doing better than her top two. She is a great actress and deserves to be in a great SCI-FI.
10) Spiderman: No Way Home (2021)
96) The Greatest Showman (2017)
190) Spiderman: Far from Home (2019)
197) Spiderman: Homecoming (2017)
269) Dune (2021)
Quran 13:11b-14a says, “Never doeth Allah change the condition of a people, excepting they change themselves, and Allah intendeth evil for all people, and there is no stopping him.

People who believe in being torched are talking to Barack, but they ought to repent to Jesus who can hear their prayers. Do you really believe Barack Hussein Obama can ensure people a great final home when they worry about being torched on this Earth and yet they speak to him as if he is worth having faith in? Remember the cross of Christ.
By the mouth of many witnesses a thing is established. Habakkuk and Ezekiel speak.
Habakkuk 1:9-13 "All come, Hamas, assemble the horde of the east, gather the captives like sand. Mock the ruler, and their judgment a joke, laugh as all strongholds become rubble, seize them, then pass through like the wind, pass through guilty by the strength of your god.

Ezekiel 1:13-14 “for the living being was like a consumed ember, a consumed vision upright, shall he walk among living beings, fiery and bright was Barack, he had come out of the consummation. The living beings ran to and fro before the vision of Barack.”
Ezekiel 21:2-5 "Son of man set your face towards Jerusalem, and speak against the sanctuary and prophecy against the land of Israel, and say to the land of Israel, "Thus saith Yahweh, "Behold I am against, and the drawn sword from the sheath, and cut off shall be the righteous and the wicked. ON THIS ACCOUNT cut off the righteous and the wicked, thus the drawn sword from the sheath, against all flesh south north, ALL FLESH SHALL KNOW YAHWEH, the drawn sword from the sheath, never to turn back again."""
Ezekiel 21:9-12 “Son of man prophecy and say, Yahweh utters, “a sword, a sword is sharpened and moreover laid bare, sharpened for slaughter the slaughter of laid bare Barack, for shall we rejoice at the son who rejects all the branches of humanity? For it was first given laid bare the handle sharpened and laid bare and set into the hand of the destroyer (Abaddon or Apollyon). Cry out in anguish, son of man. And my people, all the so blessed of God’s Word (Israel) are delivered unto the sword. My people! Thus I shall strike him at the thigh.”
Ezekiel 21:13-15 “Test your community. Truly, also the scepter which despises shall be no more, declares the Lord Yahweh. Son of man prophecy and clap your hands together, the sword twice, and now the third time, the sword pierces, the sword for the great one as it pierces those who indwelt and surrounded them. The inner being (demons) weaken greatly, they were brought down to cause stumbling, All of them are at the gate (of hell). Give them to slaughter by the sword.

Ezekiel 21:28 “and son of man prophecy and say, All utters Lord Yahweh, towards teaching towards this reproach, say a sword, a sword has been drawn and laid bare for the slaughter to consume Barack.”
Do Job and Moses the earliest writers of the Holy Bible agree with this testimony?
Job 26:6 "naked death before Abaddon, and nothing shall cover them over."
Job 26:13-14 “by his breath the heavens are cleared, his hand shall pierce BARACK, a serpent. Behold ALLAH the end of his ways. How? A whisper, a word, hear the strength and the thunder. Who can discern?”
Deuteronomy 29:25-29 "and they will say, 'ALLAH (the accursed), for they forsook the covenant of Yahweh the God of their fathers, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall cut off they who were brought out of the land of Egypt.' They will come to serve another god (Allah), and prostrate before a god, Asshur (he who shall come forth) shall know to divide. And the breath of Yahweh shall burn against that land (Palestine whole - see Isaiah 14:29-31) to bring upon all a curse written in this book.

Zephaniah 2:12 "Moreover Cush (horn of Africa black man) I shall slay by My sword."
@@thinkbeforeyoutype7106, we lost three kings in one month during the Arab Spring in Egypt, Libya, and Tunesia. We also found out the desire of women was denied in that Hillary got no cheating, but Joe Biden did get cheating of freezing the vote in six states to give us an image of his time. When he was cut off with Trump he was ruined to prosper as hatred grew under Trump. He came in with a Nobel Peace Prize and put grain offering (a note) in the wing of the temple (the Wailing Wall).
When Anti-Christ is revealed at the top of Mt. Zion we squint our eyes at him saying "This the man who shakes the whole world? He shook merely the region of the first" in Isaiah 14 and indeed with WikiLeaks and an Arab Apology Tour where Barack finished it with kissing the ring of the Saudi prince the key was turned to a bottomless pit in that Muslims have been flooding into Europe ever since to burn down churches. Giving their power unto the image of a beast.
So now how many more witnesses beyond four (4) do we need, when the witnesses wrote the Holy Bible and thus are reliable?
Psalms 77:10
"and I uttered, 'it is making me sick, that the year has become the right hand of ALLAH.'"
Psalms 77:18
“The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind, BARACK lit up the whole world. The Earth shall tremble in agitation, shake.”
Psalms 77:16-20
“The waters shall see Elohim, the waters shall see a whirling in the depth, yea, tremble in agitation. The clouds shall pour forth the waters, the skies shall give forth a voice, arrows shall flash. The sound of your thunder was in the whirlwind, BARACK lit up the whole world. The Earth shall tremble in agitation, shake. The traveling was of the sea, the path in the mighty waters, and your footprint shall be known. You led your people as a flock, your hands, Moses and Aaron.”
Psalms 97:4
“BARACK lit up the whole world, the Earth, see it tremble.”
Psalms 97:1-6
“YAHWEH reigns on the Earth so rejoice, many lands shall rejoice in the clouds, a mass surrounded in righteousness, the judgment shall fall on the foundations, for His throne. Fire comes before to consume the adversaries round about. BARACK lit up the whole world, the Earth, see it tremble. The mountain melted like wax before the face of YAHWEH, before the face of YAHWEH, all the Earth. For the heavens declare His righteousness, all the peoples see His glory.”
Job 20:25-29 “Draw out and go through the back, BARACK shall remove all strength, a dreadful overcoming shall flow forth. All is darkness, the reserve he has stored it up, an unfanned fire will devour consuming the survivor in his tent. The heavens shall reveal his iniquity and the Earth will rise up. The increase of his house will desist downward the run forth, the day of his anger. This wickedness of man is the portion of gods, and the inheritance decreed by the Word of God.”
Job 38:35-36 “Can you send BARACK, and make him go and say, “Behold who pierced wisdom in the inward parts to run forth,” also given understanding to the appearing.”
Isaiah 14:14 "ALLAH OBAMA ab (in dark outer garment) dama (I will become) elyown (the god over all things)."
Isaiah 27:1 “In that day YAHWEH will punish the beast of the sea, BARACK, a serpent. The fierce and great and mighty sword ALLAH, the beast of the sea, crooked, a serpent, and He will kill it, the Dragon, ASSHUR, of the sea.”
Isaiah 30:30-33 "YAHWEH the voice of authority, and listen BARACK, for the strength shall be seen as rage in the nostrils and flames shall consume with fire storm in a downpour, the voice of YAHWEH. Asshur will be terrified. He shall strike with the rod. All shall be hit with the rod of punishment, Asshur. YAHWEH will rest at the sound and work in battle, for the wave offering of the battle is a burning of flesh long set in order. Moreover the firm King shall cut deep and large at the pyre in fire and shall stand breathing. YAHWEH shall whirlwind the fire and the brimstone shall ensure all is consumed.”
Psalms 18:13-15 says, "Yahweh thundered from heaven, and Allah uttered his voice, hail of ember and fire, and he sent out arrows, BARACK had an abundance, confused, the channels of the sea appeared the foundations of the world laid bare, by the rebuke of Yahweh at the breath of His nostrils."
2 Samuel 22:14-16 says, "Yahweh thundered from heaven, and Allah uttered his voice, and he sent out arrows and BARACK was confused, the channels of the sea appeared the foundation of the world laid bare, by the rebuke of Yahweh at the breath of His nostrils."
Zechariah 9:14 "Yahweh shall appear over the arrows coming from BARACK. For the Lord, Yahweh, will blow the trumpet, and they will march into the storms of the South."
Daniel 10:6 “His body was tan, his face the appearance of Barack, and eyes a consumed shine; his legs and feet to the eye a burnished bronze, and the sound of his voice where like words given to a multitude.”
Nahum 3:3 “horsemen lift up the sword, and blade pierces Barack, the multitude is slain, and the mass of corpses is innumerable dead bodies, and they stumble over the dead.”
Psalms 144:4-6 “Adam was like unto vapor, for his days were in shadow and culminated. The reach was the heavens for YAHWEH and yet he descended touching the mountain and it smoked. The flash of BARACK dispersed sending forth arrows (nuclear weapons) with noise."
Luke 10:18 "I saw SATAN as BARACK OBAMA."
Matthew 24:27-28 "For as BARACK cometh out of the East and shineth even so far as the West so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man, for wherever the bodies lie so too an EAGLE IN UNION."
Revelation 16:17-19 “For even the seventh was poured, a bowl into the air, great voice came out of the temple from the throne saying, “DONE.” BARACK voiced thunder great, shaking of a manner as never had been from the time man had come into being on Earth, this person was of great lineage, great earthquake like unto this. The great city split into three parts, a city of nations fell, Babylon great was remembered in the sight of God, to give her the cup of wine, PASSION for wrath."
tbh I never read the dune books but when I first saw the movie my initial reaction was how is it so similar the current real world issues that's happening within the Muslim world! I was utterly confused if I was the only one who was feeling this way or finding all this similarities because the narrative plot in Dune just feels so similar to current scenarios
It's basically describing any of the old religions
Islam is the one that still hold their very extreme rules to the modern world
and that kinda explains why the fear of the religions that's rejecting the modern world
@@warning2246 I wasn't referring of that religion's (Islam) standpoint. What I meant is what is happening against that one particular religion in this current world and how dune almost seems similar to all those aspects and how they highlighted them! Yesterday I just saw the 2nd part and now I'm pretty much confirmed I was right all along!
Dune is an Easter egg in reference to the occult origins of Islam. Arrakis (Arabia) Orbits Canopus which is the Star the Kaaba is aligned with. Canopus represented by Al-Uzzá, the Goddess known as Artimpasa to the Scythians who worshiped her by circling a black stone now glued to the Kaaba. The Fremen are the Adnanites with Stilgar being Muhammad. The Atreides are the House of Karen with Paul being Salman the Persian. The Harkonen are the House of Sassanids with Baron being Khosrow I believe. The Padashah is the Ardashir title. The reference to Ceaser refers to a deep occult history pertaining to Thea Musa, daughter of Julius and Cleopatra, who was gifted by Augustus to Phraates IV- Cleos ex- by Augustus. Karen being the son of Cleo and Phraates IV whose descendants infused with the descendants of Thea and Phraates IV.

Glad to see discussion around this topic as it relates to Dune. It sucks to see the director and actors promote the second film, apologetic about the first film's slowness. The contemplative nature of the first one is the emotional core of the story, more lasting and interesting than any big CGI battle.
Facts. The first film really gives you a chance to breathe and think through what’s happening. And feel it. Second film feels like so much is happening but it doesn’t really land emotionally. Only the brutal moments do
Oh shut up. You took all the time to let us breathe and experience or whatever and yet your main character is so uncharismatic (partly due to the actor himself but the story doesn't show him changing much besides an abrupt zero to hero jump).
Speak for yourself I personally loved sitting three hours to watch that mf yell LISAN AL GAIB every two minutes 😂
@@timothysalinas3535 HA wrote this before seeing the movie and noticing that part 2 is similarly contemplative, obviously with more action and thrill than the first. Bardem's delivery throughout the movie stole the show for me
@@filmmoviePRODUCTIONS yeah it felt just as contemplative, or at least as deep if not deeper than the last movie, just that there's so much plot that it's happening at a faster rate. But Denis was still able to pace it in a way it was all understandable on first watch. It's amazing.
This video made me cry. As someone who was raised Muslim in the West and having internalised so much Islamaphobia throughout my life it's incredibly affirming for someone to have put into words the hate and othering I have not only experienced first hand but also projected onto Islam for so long. We live in dark times now but seeking perspectives from the past can help illuminate the way forward. I am incredibly hopeful for the future of humanity. Thank you Kazmaloop for making this! Can't wait for your next upload :)
This means a lot, thank you for watching and supporting!
It is pure projection and envy of your spirituality. Bless you.
off course the day people read quran truth will come out u are lucky people are ignorant
"Every soul will taste death. And We test you with evil and with good as trial; and to Us you will be returned" when ever i went through such situation i always recite these verses to remind myself its just a test
Islam is false. Why support a falsehood? You'll be happier just not being Muslim. Truth is liberating. Your tears do not impress me.
probably the best video I've seen on youtube for a very very long time
26:40 This made me cry so much. As a german teenager, that has to witness her own government failing again, by taking the side of the oppressor during this genocide.
You’ve understood the purpose of Islamic revelation, which takes a long time for most. It’s not to describe a perfect utopia to create nor a perfect person to be, but in consideration of the thousands upon thousands of human existence in this world, and for untold thousands upon thousands more to go, humanity will undergo many forms of darknesses, it is guidance for how to retain humanity across imperfect times, and return at the end of times with a soul that isn’t disfigured.
A beautiful summary. Ramadan Kareem.
I don't think that's what the Islamic revelation is for considering the sahaba themselves did not retain humanity
Sounds intreing. any books (along side quran) you would recommend to read on islamic revelation as you describe it?
@@thelistener0
I think this concept was referred to in Chapter 26 of the Quran, Verse 89. but it used the word Heart instead of Soul.
It is heavily advised to read an Exegesis with the Quran to understand some of the Context.
As for other sources I recommend the site (Islam Story).

Loved this material. I adore Dune and have also explored Islam through my studies. I met Palestinian immigrants living in my country, and their strong devotion and compassion fascinated me. What is going on in Palestine is revealing to us what "the West" is really about. As a Latin American, It is important to understand our Latin American countries are not even considered "The West" by the ruling countries of the world so why are we trying to emulate their sort of high morality that is truly non-existent?
This mentality is very hard to overcome and I probably have more in common with my Palestinian brothers and sisters than we have with the US or any European country in terms of the struggle of life and how the colonizers destabilize our countries and rob our futures. May peace be with you all.
The great humanity and tenderness of Palestinians is so humbling. Love to you, and to Palestinians.
High morality as in value of life above everything else, as in valuing rationality over misticality I would say thats very Western and the cause of a lot of the things that are good with the world. Islam i would say from my reduced knowledge about it doesnt value life nearly as much as being faithful to a god. For example in Sharia law loads of people are judged as unfaithful and killed just based on that fact. That is also part of Islam, to ignore that flaw is allowing evil to happen. The west also has a lot of flaws but is clearly much less primitive.
@@leonantonioreisenauer111 your reduced knowledge is based on prejudiced anti Muslim tropes that we've heard a thousand times over, in comparison to the first commentor who bases his opinion on his studies and interactions with Muslims. The west only values life when it applies to their allies as we've seen with Ukraine vs Gaza, so it remains a fickle power hungry structure that will turn a blind eye to atrocities for it's own interests and wield its power like a chess player. As the more powerful, the Western politicians sets the narrative and manufacturers consent for it's crimes from its people by claiming a superiority over human rights. God tells Muslims to protect human life at all costs even if it means partaking in what is impermissible to preserve it, e.g. eating pork in times of starvation if that is all that is available. The difference is that while westerners have a blameful ungrateful attitude towards God whenever something bad happens to you, Muslims thank God in times of both hardship and ease and remember to remain grateful to Him as every experience is a lesson and trial
@@leonantonioreisenauer111and thats your first flaw in which you’ve stated, youre reduced knowledge regarding the subject. To value life is one of the most important thing in islam and leading any harm to anything from the smallest ants to an elephant is Haram or forbidden and is only allowed for food and self defense.
nah bro plz don't defend something u shouldn't i don't live in west neither i knew anything accept islam, i was so into islam i loved it until i realized it's the most f up shit , it doesn't value life accept muhammad's ego @@kai-jf2vd
Islamic language, and culture, Herbert deftly left their mark on Dune.
But it is important to realize that Dune takes place 20,000 years in the future-Nothing of the world today, including religions, races, governments, culture, and etiquette lives on in a pure form-The far flung future contains but notes of today’s world. Notes in new arrangements played with new instruments.
So, while Islam is an inspiration for the Fremen, Zensunni Wanderers, and Arrakis itself. The Freman are not Arabs, are not Muslims, they are in the truest sense vaguely inspired by Arab culture, although Buddhism comes into play there.
Brett Devereaux made a great essay series called the Fremen Mirage that sorta speaks about this. I think rather than Fremen being Muslims or Arabs, they're rather the epitome of the very popular but extremely inaccurate phrase "hard times create strong men."
"Islamic language"? What's that?
Ok GPT
that's called allegory dude, the fremen might not be literally arabs but they don't need to be to convey the message, and for us the audience to connect the dots. or are you gonna tell me you can't figure out the meaning of a story without a narrator telling it to you like a 5 year old?
No need to be an ass@@nyft3352
Another underemphasized current within Dune is the potency of dreams.
The movie starts with the strange utterance that 'Dreams are messages from the deep', which is a direct paraphrase of Carl Jung's "Dreams are messages sent up from the unconscious".
This concept itself parallels the Sufi tradition that the dream is a wellspring of metaphysical existence bubbling up into the 'nafs' (the lowest rung of the mind as per Sufi doctrine), an existence that is unburdened by the transient nature of physical time (referenced in the "Mirage" story of the Prophet Mohammad). Modern neuroscience posits that mammalian visual pathways are refined to perfection in the complete darkness of the womb when the fetus 'dreams', firing spontaneous 'dream-like' activity in the visual cortex and retinae and optic nerve tract without the animal once opening its eyes to see anything in the physical world.
In Dune, Paul transcends the linear confines of time by 'dreaming' about various streams of events branching and budding and merging via a multitude of kaleidoscopic possibilities.
Just an interesting connection.
I was very reluctant to like Dune because of how I felt it exploited Arab Muslim culture to serve whatever it wanted to do, but watching this video made me realize that I need to rewatch the movie with new eyes and definitely get around to reading the book.
And as a non Arab Muslim, I can say for sure how anti Arab sentiments have also affected non Arabs purely through the shared connection of our faith and or culture. I had to dig myself out of a hole of self hatred and even extremist ideals not because of my faith, but how I felt I was perceived by the wider world. Fortunately for me I was able to grow and find a better way forward.
All in all this video is one of those times when I'm consuming media talking about people like me and I feel like I don't have to defend myself or what I believe in. I feel understood. And it gives me hope.
Amazing video brother.
Me too I personally found it ironic that it was a big budget movie talking about topics like this but maybe I’m just defensive over Islam and I want it represented justly and as it is 😭
To be honest internalized Islamopobhia has run so rampant globally, Muslims all over the world felt the impact of this black campaign. And in a weird ironic way the palestininan genocide has helped me to be more muslim, to see the moral hypocrisy of the Western world and help me practice my religion without a shred of shame.
@Ninaloasana exactly! I feel like Muslims esp in the west seek validation because of insecurities over our faith not aligning with where they live so they get excited when a non Muslim or brand acknowledges them , but in truth we should only seek Allahs validation !!
The title and the thumbnail alone just lets me know that this is will be a great video
I think Frank Herbert was one of the few writers who read GK Chestertons Everlasting Man and adopted the idea that Islam was a religion that was almost perfectly adapted to desert live in 7th century Arabia. And he really tried to paint Fremen as shaped by the Desert.
The deserts were conquered by Christians long before Islam ever came
Islam is non-racial Judaism

Thank you! Much appreciated!
@@kazmaloopThat ending is the Best *wink wink, nudge nudge* type thing i have EVER seen on an essay/video essay yet
Frehmen society is not held by their religion primarily, it's held by their material condition. In the deserts of Dune, environment is so harsh it's "man vs nature". Also, no surplus of resources produced. That's why people more likely bond together - just to survive. When the nature is dominated and surplus is being produced then it turns into "man vs man".
This is so true. The more flourishing society becomes the less religous they are. Religon is a great story for the masses to have hope and keep fighting. But once the fight is won that story starts becoming less and less needed. It's all a survival mechanism.
What an incredibly underrated video. I am blown away. Your observations are so astute, and the conclusions you draw make so much sense. This has given me such a deeper understanding not only of Dune, but of the world that we live in.
This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this platform
This essay is so potent and says a lot in 30 minutes. Much respect and I look forward to your future analysis!
Knowing what became of the Fremen in later books, Paul's rise to power is chilling.
This video is truly amazing. Been taking some philosophy and religious history classes and we just finished our Islam section. (Obviously am not an expert but it’s still a new perspective I wouldn’t have had without the class) Also have been into dune for a while now. Very impressed with how well you connected the two and critiqued our current society and how it is going. Shared this with a few friends. Thank you!
Thank you for making this. I had to cry at the end, how can you be so evil that you mock people morning their dead after you killed them? The absolute evil of that "state" is something I haven't seen or heard even in fiction.
Because psychopaths walk amongst us. The world is more evil than you think
Israhell is truly the greatest evil of our modern times. I’ve seen only a snippet of the horror on the ground through journalist pictures and videos - but it’s enough for me to know that Zionism is a great evil. It must be dismantled. Free Palestine.
I think context means everything. If you feel that you were attacked, then retaliated against some group, and conquered them you will think it’s okay to mock their tragedy…. Israel vs Palestine is a struggle between two nations who have each been evil towards one another for generations so how do you take a side outside of your spiritual beliefs?
@@keelhe893 two nations? What two nations? For 75 years Palastanians have lived under apartheid for 16 years Gaza has been under a brutal blockade, what two nation? Israel has always been on the offensive they are occupiers they are the offenders and fighting back against your oppressors is the most righteous thing a person can ever do. If Jews have a "right" to live there no one has taken that "right" they lived there for centuries unimpeded. But they don't have the right steal other people's homes they don't have the right kill others, they don't have the right to put them in concentration camps they don't have the right to force them to live as refugees in their own country under a brutal apartheid regime. No there are no two ways about it. One side is and has always been pure evil, they have impeded every peacful resolution they have stopped Oslo accords and two state solution they have continued to build illigal settlements, where do you think these settlements are built? They literally bolldoze people's homes sometimes even when these people are still inside, the brutal inhumanity with how palastanians have been treated for 75. And you still think there's two sides? How blind and inhuman can you be?
@@keelhe893you do so by first examining the core claims of each side, irrespective of the brutality. First you decide on the morality of cause, then you contemplate the level of violence. And there can be differences on this. You might deem a cause worthy, but you might not consider harming non-combatants a moral course of action to achieve that cause.
Is it justified to seize another person’s land and home, by claiming that you were driven out from that land 2000 years ago by another empire that collapsed more than 1500 years ago.
Is it justified to resist with all means, peaceful and violent, a person who drove you out of your home and then continues to deprive you of your national dignity.
Morality of violence rests on the core justification for it. If the justification is righteous, then it could be righteous violence. In fact committing violence for a cause might be the most moral course of action. That is the moral decision every human has to make for himself in his lifetime. What is it that you will fight for with all the might you can muster. What is your hill to die on.
These kinds of videos are far more interesting ways to learn about Dune than videos just going over "the lore".
It's so real
Thank you for contextualizing it all with the ending
As a white revert to Islam Paul’s indoctrination into the freman was really cool to see it obv wasn’t violent or anything or in anyway repulsive or unwelcoming I relate to Paul by being a outsider and taken in as a friend to a group of people who want nothing for what’s best for you and people who genuinely care for you
Thank you so much for making this. I am not a Muslim but the Islamic influences of Dune are what captivate me the most and I have often wondered how Muslim readers of the text feel about the portrayal. Thanks again
I am Muslim, and a fan of science fiction and fantasy novels. I was introduced to the Dune novels through the video games. Off the bat, in the game I realized the usage of Arabic terms. This led me to get my hands on the novels to get a better perspective of the author’s views. I took it as it is, a fantasy story, a what if scenario. So it was really fun to read and I consider the novels as a classic.
I watched Dune last night and while the movie has been whitewashed to an extent, I saw some glaringly obvious Muslim and Islamic themes.
Dune may explain only one dimension of our Islamic civilisation, yes we are resistant and we refuse to bow down to any creature yet we uphold justice high and we are forgiving. But we never forget
I am a muslim, and I enjoyed the movie a lot. I noticed several Islamic symbolisms and its parallelism to the movie, though they may be mostly more Arabic than Islamic, because they have more to do with the way of life of the Fremen (Arabic themes), rather than the core values of the religion itself (the Islamic themes).
It is important because Islam does not represent Arab, as the core values are directed more towards humanity itself as a whole (at least what the religion was originally built for). However, some Arabian cultures may be present in a few of the Islamic teachings, though they are not something to be practiced obligatorily.
This is why I believe there are more Arabian themes than the Islamic themes, but there are uses of some Islamic vocabularies, such as Mahdi. Mahdi is believed to be “the savior” in Islamic tradition.
The movie itself could still stand as its own show without those, but those Arabic and Islamic elements are definitely the most interesting and captivating elements to experience. But yeah, good movie overall. Too bad not too many people in my theater saw it tho, they’re truly missing a lot.
Dune is not a portrayal of Islam. It's spiritualist aspects are just inspired by it. It's not meant to be an allegory of Islam itself or representative of it in any way but just a source of inspiration for symbolism and themes.

I know, right. What an ayah to close out with too.
When I watched the movie Dune for the first time in the cinema and read the entire novel, I was amazed by the strong similarity in Arab culture, especially Bedouin, because I am an Arab and a Bedouin, and some similarity in Arabic terms such as Mahdi, shay hulod , Lisan al-Ghayb, especially spices, and in araks = oil, and most of it. in the Arab world. In the Gulf, I started to cry and i got chill because of its similarity to the reality we live in. I tried to explain Dune's similarity to some people online about the strong similarity in Arab culture, and they didn't believe me. They told me that I was delusional and tired of the situation until your video came out. You explained it in detail, and I am trying to convey that. The Internet is great in detail and in the Islamic religion, but they still make fun of me because I am Muslim, and they are racist towards me. I didn't come to please anyone. I have only tried to convey information that I consider important to me as an Arab Bedouin Muslim. For how similar the film and novel are to the reality we live in, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. and explainer video. I hope it reaches all the people who are interested in Dune and that they understand what I mean. Thank you very much and free Palestine

I read the books and was shocked at all the references to Islam. Paul's story is very very similar to the story of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh. In the second book, Arrakis becomes a place of pilgrimage with the author even using the word hajj.
I share your sentiment. Being a Belgian of Moroccan descent I noticed the Arabic and Islamic references in Dune immediately. I had no pre knowledge of the books or anything else about the Dune world. So first thing I did after watching the movie in the cinema was to google this question and was not able to find much so I gave up pretty quickly thinking it was just coincidence. This video essay worded my feelings about the current world perfectly. I am secular myself and not a practicing muslim but whatever the enemies and adversaries of Islam believe or wish for Islam and muslims are here to stay. Free Palestine 🍉

anyone who's watching, this video is not a movie analysis... this is a full fledged history and political documentary... what an amazing work...
Liked the mashup Lawrence of Arabia with Paul of Arrakis, with Malcolm X on the Hajj as an implicit counterpoint to that archetype. Nice way to shift which family is at the center of the narrative. Herbert was trying to question the Heroic story, and what Malcolm X saw after the Hajj might be a better way to achieve that goal than anything in the English storyteller's toolbox. I Like the way you highlight Arabic words. In our world Herbert functions sort of like the Missionaria Protectiva on Arrakis, setting up concepts to be elaborated by those yet to be born when the foundations were laid.
Toynbee is also nice to start off with. I have read discourse about where Samuel Huntington got his idea of the West in Clash of Civilizations, and never seen Toynbee mentioned. There is also the issue of which lands are in "the West." Do Slavic lands, or Catholic countries other than Enlightenment France play any role in it?. Sicily, Austria, Hungary, Euskara, Eire. Much of the Americas was Christianized by Spain, Andalucia, which spent several centuries in which the Koran was more important than the ritual of the Mass, let alone reading the "Orange Catholic" Bible. Much of Europe has experienced the multiculturalism of invading armies in ways gringos outside a few blocks of New York city never have.
I’m Muslim and also a politics uni student. I’ve seen so much change in the discourse surrounding western power, and every middle eastern I’ve spoken to is fixedly anti-west, including myself. I think our communities are starting to realise that practicing passivity won’t mean that you’ll be left alone.
When your land has been ravaged and pillaged, your culture obliterated, your history stolen, you entire existence basically spat on, you can’t help but anticipate the west’s eventual fall. Islam doesn’t promise triumph or anything, but it does promise justice, and we believe there will be justice, one way or another. The true strength of muslims is that we are at peace even when the entire world wants nothing more but to wipe us out. There’s nothing stronger than conviction.
A third of the world is Islam? So Muslims killing Muslims in the name of Allah is excusable?
The middle east is not poor because of the west so ignorant to believe that
Important to distinguish countries because the west is too broad, and muslims are not just the middle east.
At peace = constant fighting and terrorist activity
Islam committed everything you accuse the West of and more. Your faith was already spread through jihad and conquest. And you probably live in the West.
Paul tries to avoid the jihad. Paul does not want to be the Mahdi.
The movies are a warning against fanatics and religion.
You will see Stilgar flip his shit in the third movie.
Exactly! Religious extremists has no place in a safe and secure society!
One of the greatest videos I've ever watched on TH-cam
This. This is the video I’ve been waiting for!
All i can say is wow. This whole thing is a piece of art. It taught me so many things in less than 30 minutes. Probs to you bro, you did such a good job on this one. You got a very bright future ahead of you. Keep on grinding
This is such s good and well structured video. I thank you wholeheartedly for making this!
Just incredible how your presentation of this film and the topic was done with so much realness and tact! Outstanding!!!
I have seen a few YT essays on Dune, but your video is by far my favorite. I recently watched Dune 2 without any prior knowledge as to where the story was headed. Being a Muslim myself, I had an icky feeling watching it.
My thoughts on the films are too long for a yt comment though.😅
I found it refreshing that you used Muslim sources for Islam, and your video ending had me in tears. Thank you for that thought-provoking experience.
Fantastic Video, Keep it up
This was mind-blowing! I saw Dune and noticed the striking similarities between the Dune universe and geopolitical reality, as well as depictions of Islamic culture and heritage, but you took it to a whole new level! Thank you for the quality time experience.
@borsalinokizaru9862 Arabs had no existence before Islam, Islam technically put Arabs on the map.
Thank you for posting this. What an interesting essay you narrate. As someone who grew up around a lot of xenophobia specifically islamophobia, it's a revelation to finally see some discussion about why we fear those who are different religions from us. I loved Dune and immediately caught wind of the Islamic referencing - I was so curious to really dig into them as you did. I also appreciate your inclusion of the speaker at the end. Great Video!
Holy Quran 3:169
169 “Never think of those martyred in the cause of Allah as dead. In fact, they are alive with their Lord, well provided for.”
Just wanted to add more info as well. But I have to say great commentary and breakdown brother. Much love and respect.
Assalaamu Alaykum (Peace Be With You).
the end was very powerful, and yes your quote from the quran 13:24 keeps us going no matter how much brutality and hate we face, for Allah is enough for us. May Allah bless you for your work whether you are a muslim or not
Brutality and hate are committed by Islam.
its the best content i have seen this year
Very thoughtful approach. A complex topic handled very well.
I was thinking the exact same thing about Dune brother. This video deserves 100 million views.
Oh my God, watched it 2 times and it brought me to tears in the end… thank you
what a fantastic video. well researched and produced, i wish you nothing but success and wellbeing
Wow, what a video. Thank you so much.
What a beautiful watch! Your words resound with admirability
Once again, many many thanks, Kaz.
Amazing video, genuinely opened my eyes to things I’ve never really thought about or knew about. Thank you and keep it up!
It's crazy how frank Herbert used Islam as a backdrop for themes that propelled the narrative of the main character and YET, the main character is no hero he's actually the villain. Makes you think of his view on the actual religion itself also.
This was an excellent take on the first Dune book and the state of the world and its relation to Islam. You covered everything from the Ottomans to the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people with Hadith and verses from the Quran in the video. The verse from the Quran in the last few seconds of the video was the cherry on top.
Loved the style of narration in the video in the inclusion of sidenotes and corrections on the screen. This is perhaps my favourite video on this platform. Up until now, it was Jacob Geller's "Judaism , Whiteness and Wolfenstein" that touched similar ideas and issues but you have clearly surpassed it. You just gained a new subscriber.
Very insightful. Thanks for making this video
Muaddib means polite, a decent person with good manners.
That's Muaddab* not Muaddib
Muaddab is an adjective
Muaddib is the one teaching Adab
Great one again!
Breath of fresh air as expected. Not redundant as is the norm now.
Glad I could provide a different take, thank you for watching!
WOW what a good video describing the reality! As a Muslim, I’m grateful for your video. thank you so much.
That high pitched version of SWV's "Rain on me" makes that those clips even more erie.
This is brilliant. Thank you for such engaging and sensitive reading
this is a fantastic video. I loved and agreed with your analysis, and I really appreciated the footage of Palestine and quotation at the end. excellent work!
wow I randomly clicked this video and didn't expect this, great job dude
This was carefully and amazingly explained
Just had to say this. 19:49 Jose Ferrer, who played the Ottoman officer in LoA, played the Emperor in David Lynch's Dune.
Religious fundamentalism is nailed by Herbert
Herbert was warning the West of the dangers of a false desert Prophet who would arise manipulate a desert tribal people and bring holy war and destruction to the world and establish a hellish religio-political empire enslaving humanity. The parallels of Paul Asteides to the Prophet are many.
This might the most beautifully articulated sentence I've heard in a long time, incredible 👏🏾👏🏾
"In this binary winged world of the west, Muslims and thus Islam have remained flightless...but perhaps being grounded is a perspective necessary to survive in the growing turbulence in this shifting environment"
as Muslimah this video literally made me cry. this was incredible, thank you.
Incredibly glad to see well made videos like these popping up.
Yes, Dune was heavily influenced from Islamic tradition but the whole scene about Prophecy, Messiah, and Mahdi aspects are leaning more towards Judaism and to some extent Christianity rather than Islam.
It is true that believing in to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and Mahdi to rescue then lead Muslims to victory at the End of Time is a part of believe or Imaan, but it's not the core foundation of Islamic believe tenet and teaching.
Well if look at it even by a glimpse, Dune spirituality and religion are Paganism also the whole Bene Geserit thing is magic. All those things are forbidden and the gravest sins in Islam
Islam itself borrows all its theology from Judaism.
@@puneetmishra4726 Islam doesn't borrow and plagiarize Judaism and Christianity, it inherits and amends them.
There's no such thing as prevailing against God.
There's no such thing as intercession with Son of God and Holy Ghost
There's only submission and servitude to the All Mighty, the Supreme One.
@@vuvuvu6291 I can not use the word "inherit" as Jews never agreed to give their theology to Muslims and always maintained that Mohammad is a false prophet.
As for the rest, that is your belief. I won't comment on that. However, the "submission" to God or treating God as Master and Men as his slave is rather very common theme in semitic religions, most of them are now extinct, leaving only their fragments. Abrahamic branch of semitism is only one that's still surviving.
@@puneetmishra4726 Whether Jews and Christians believe or disbelief in Islam, it's their rights. It's what Islam says and Muslims must believe be it there is or isn't scientific evidence, yet.
The religion of Abraham is not part of any Semitic religions. It doesn't derived or branching from any of those religions. It is brand new, a revolutionary religion by that era standard.
Abraham and Lot were teaching monotheism and worship a God without images and idols. Is it possible to achieve their feat if they are deriving the religion from Paganism?
Like we see Buddhism. Be it they only revered Siddhartha Gautama, but as it was derived from Hinduism, the Pagan aspect persists as they still allow to worship Buddha and to some extent the saints through iconography and idols.
@@vuvuvu6291 Oh yes, Abrahamic religion is indeed semitic and absolutely derived from the old semitic religions. A great example is that of Assyrians who also believed that there god Ashur is not only the greatest but the only true one and this belief fuelled their over-agressive campaigns against all of their neighbours. You read the inscriptions of any Assyrian kings and their words as in how they are the God's chosen representatives on earth, are very similar to the proclamations of any medieval Christian or Muslim king. The Canaanites, the Sumerians, the Babylonians et al were all the believers in similar thought. They are of course classified as "pagans" in the old testament because the writers of the Bible couldn't understand that their beliefs are very much similar to them.
As far as practices are concerned, they are indeed inspired by the old semitic religions, polytheistic or not. The greatest example is the circumambulation of the black stone of Kaaba. Is it not a direct derivation of the custom of the Quraysh before they converted?
It is rather amusing how Abrahamic religions proclaim their superiority by being monotheist and using the word "pagan" in derogatory sense for other schools of thought. I won't say anything else on that.
This was absolutely an amazing breakdown and very insightful as you connected all the dots from different angles.
Just subscribed to your channel and keep up the great work.
Beautifully explained, subscribed.
Interesting & Amazing video
Thank you so much for watching!
This was amazing. I’m a white Muslim living in the west and ever since I watched Dune for the first time I’ve become obsessed… I think I know why. Thank you for the video
This was a phenomenal video.
Just came across your video. Amazing work! Compliments
not gonna lie I stoped following movies or any news bout movies but I remembered that dune which is one of the greatest movies I saw ,so a vid on ted was titled "why you should read dune" and then this video appeared, by far is this one of the greatest videos I have seen this year so far great explantation
Whats missing from the cultural analysis is that just as (modernist) materialist cultures (not just the west; see china, russia, europe) adopts Islam for their own (geopolitical) benefit, radical islam does the same, which is radical precisely because it borrows from modernity moral expediency, sacrificing fidelity. Eg suic*de is haram, so is taking innocent life. See MBZ's propaganda piece in the NYTimes regarding the dangers of Islamists.
Therefore that "comedian" "joking" like that could be considered by religious scholars as haram, based on what Prophet Muhammed (SAWS) stated regarding joking about the religion. So that comedian could be construed as an Islamist because he adopted the moral and mental framework of modernity by accepting expediency.
Can you explain what you mean about ‘Islamist’s’ ? I’m Muslim and I never heard this term before
It's amazing how the novel seems so much relevant today despite being written over 50 years ago, but there is also a parallel that can be seen in the controlled and planned religion deciminated among less powerful societies and the spread of soviet and now russian/chinese influence in the global south, which was emerging around the time the first dune books were released. Just as the mahdi figure for the freman was basically an artificially constructed prophecy by bene gesserit, the whole discourse around socialism and liberation and it's promised utopian prospects was little more than a tool for the soviets to use in the cold war. Before I start getting angry replies by the leftists - I'm not saying that western colonialism is not an issue, but rather that it's much easier to redognise and put the blame on: returning to the dune examples, the Harkonnens are an example of how the west approaches colonial subjugation, while Atrides is more the soviet and, to a certain extent modern chinese version of colonialism. Same results, different approaches, and no point in debating which one is better.
Amazing just amazing. Thank you, I was waiting for someone to analyze the Islamic aspects of dune. You did it brilliantly, thank you for respecting my religion, May Allah bless you
As a Muslim, the “islamic” aspects in the movie were tenuous at best and felt somewhat flat and superficial, exotic for the sake of the exotic.
Might appeal to a more Western audience and to the uninitiated.
Yeup the entire movie was like a rollercoaster ride for western leftists who think they know anything of Islamic values let alone the Society they live in is completely different than those who live in western bubble with western values. They actually believe that Islam would want to coexist with western values when in reality Islam wants to dismantle it and promote Sharia law
The film removes a lot of the nuance present in the books. This is likely because of the decades of cultural erasure that hollywood has practiced on us. I encourage you to read the book. The films are fun in their own right though.
It made me cringed lol
Thank you for shining the light on what it surprisingly still misunderstood , Islam is a religion that's been fought against since the beginning of it , just like how prephets is taourah and Injil (bible) were being mocked and killed ...whenever there's truth and order , humans greed and selfishness takes over ...only few follow
And ofc 🍉 from the river to the sea
The good always wins
Fire video as always- great commentary!
Thank you for the support!
Amazing video, it’s really brought me to realize the own islamophobia that is present within my Greek family, I’ve almost always heard terrible things about muslims and yet seeing this has made me realize just how desensitized I was to it, I can’t get through Easter without my grandmother ironically complaining about refugees.
Are you not aware of the Islamic imperial concepts that has taken place in Greece? Is prejudice okay? Now but let’s not pretend like it’s not understandable, what you thought southern Europe magically has Muslims bc of peaceful missionary trips 😂
@@justchilling704 Don’t act like I don’t know what happened to my people, I know full well what the Turks did and are continuing to do, what does that have to do with my family hating Arab refugees who, if anything, had and continue to have to face Turkish repression as well. What does an Arab mother with her child who comes on Fox News have to do with the Ottoman and Turkish government, and what does it mean when my grandparents, uncles, aunts talk about how their terrorists? You Americans always think of yourselves as some sort of geniuses when it comes to foreign relations yet you have no idea the actual genuine effects these events have on people, you have no idea what it means to see your family go completely silent and relive hell for a few seconds.
@@justchilling704 You Americans always think you know more about history than anyone in the world and it’s funny cause all you ever know is some dumb fucking Wikipedia article. You people have no idea what it’s like to lose family members to ethnic violence, you have no idea what it’s like seeing your family member’s eyes go blank as they remember what happened. And yet you think you have the right to judge me on my beliefs, you think it’s alright to hate some starving Syrian family just cause they’re Muslims, what did they have to do with the Turkish government, what do they have to do with Assad? You people will never change.
If you haven’t read Dune, Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, be careful about assigning “good” and “bad” labels to the characters, as moral ambiguity is a big theme in the books
maybe watch the video. 19:05 onward actually addresses this in a way
Denis Villeneuve's Dune movie uses the term "holy war" instead of "jihad" to avoid the conventional association of jihad with Islamic terrorism. The word "jihad" is a foundational term and an essential concept in Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune, where Paul Atreides leads a jihad. However, the trailer for Dune uses the Christian term "crusade". Some say that the promotional material is pushing the movie as a typical chosen one savior story, so when the story actually plays out it'll be more of a shock to unsuspecting viewers.
Deserves at least a million views. Commenting for the algorithm so that people witness the truth. Keep up the good work.
