That might be the single most moving, profoundly beautiful story I've ever heard. I'm almost crying. I've never been religious - I'm technically baptised Catholic but I'm English and... well, we aren't a religious bunch. But the sheer beauty of Umar ibn al-Khattib's character cut straight through to me. It took a man of Islam to show a man of Christianity just how low they had fallen in the holiest city in the world. Imagine thinking that you're bringing the religion of Abraham to its highest stage, retaking that city, and when you get there the Christians have massacred the Jews and turned the Holy Mount into a garbage dump... And yet that's the 'dark ages', apparently. Maybe for us Europeans...
there is a reason why even after being out maned out guned out moneyed and in a state another army wont live through and still conqered all that they did
This lecture has moved me so much, that I want to research the religion. So, I decided tonight that I will visit a mosque and see what their religion is about and buy the Quran too just to read it and understand. btw I'm Catholic.

If any of you read about Umar Al-Khattab, he was one of the people who opposed Prophet Muhammad SAW preaching islam the most. His hatred beyond any of us here, until Allah SWT open his heart to accept islam and he turn to be the most fierce guardian for the Prophet SAW and his teachings. Everytime remembering his stories i always felt so much compassion that i teach myself never to judge or put hatred on anything in life because you will never know what to become of you if God's willing. Alhamdulillah😭
Ikremah turned a Muslim actually, and prophet Mohammad forbidden every body to bad mouth ikremah’s father Further more ikremah died fighting the romans in Syria under the islam army, and what beautiful sacrifice he gave to win the war (may god have peace upon him)
💠 The Orientalist De Lacy O'Leary says: " *History makes it clear, however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever accepted* " (Islam at the Crossroads, London, 1923, p. 8.)

You can see at present, the horrible treatment of Hagia Sofia... archeologist are crying at present for the intentional neglect to stop. The list goes on.

Because it is obvious BS, read on your own, different materials and sourses, never watch one-man lection, it's same as watching TH-cam video, when somebody tells interpretations out of their head with information that can be seeked on it's own. Lazy people do that, only lazy people watch other people videos and lectures of one man, often that's how it happens.
Speechless …. And this professor is a truth teller how I would love to be in his lecture…. He spoke to a nearly empty room with the same amount of passion like it was full ameen 🙏🏿
Im a Christian and this is something that to me shows what straying from doctrine in its most extreme form looks like. Jesus said to love your enemy, to never repay evil for evil and that great leaders are servants to their people. I pray that ''Christians'' take the lords name in vain like this ever again.
Christians don't need to conquer Jerusalem because it had been under Romans. And Romans became Christians. And they became part of Byzantine christian. Stop telling lies as if Muslim invaders of christian lands went to these lands for a vacation. No one will believe you. From the records of Byzantines, Muslims invaded Byzantine Palestine. You were so cruel with Jews and Byzantines. You are fooling no one. Stop demonizing christians as muslims were the ones invading. Christians just got back their lands that you took from them. Most middle east were christians as well as the Iberian, North Africa, Ethiopia, Nubia, even Persia there were significant number of christians. You also invaded Zoroastrian Persians. Stop spreading your lies!
Yes, remember how Muhammad murdered Arabian Jews, christians? Your beloved Muhammad expelled them oit of their native land just like what you did when Israel was reestablished. And no one will buy the idea that Islam just casually goes there like tourists then inbitants greeted them and converted to Islam voluntarily. Lol You abduls are delusional. You are the real invaders of christian lands.

I don't know what religion Roy Casagranda follows but this is my second time listening to this lecture and it falls so heavy upon me that one of the greatest Muslim leader was so humble was so human and it makes me cry looking at us Muslims right now. May Allah gives us hadayat. May we fight the evil and respect the innocent. May the Muslims in Jerusalem find peace in the bloody massacre. May the Muslims of Kashmir and India find relief from Hindu Hatred. May the victims of Burma gets the sympathy of their government. May the Uyghurs get the freedom they deserve. May the peoples of Iraq Iran Pakistan and other countries resolve the matters within their country so they can help Muslim world. May the middle eastern Arabs wake up to reality and swallow the arrogance they have because of the wealth they were given as a test.
No you don't want this, muslims always lie about history and I many Arabs don't even know that their ancestors ran huge slave trade networks with black and white slaves
@@malikakajee4396 Actually, the real problem is people today want to do or have interest in thing they "like". Not everything needs to be liked to be studied, learned or practiced. You may not like working but you have to. You may not like studying but you have to. You may not like to be a decent person but you have to. So people who don't like religious history, they have to learn it no matter if they are religious or not because it is human history and billions of people practice various kinds of religions daily and you have to at least to some degree learn it enough to be respectful and decent so everyone can exist in harmony. Almost everyone is capable of malicious or evil, cruel actions and only their personal free will is holding them back from committing such acts and that free will must be strengthened by doing the shit you don't like and be stoic about it. So next time you want to do some bad stuff for fun, you hold out and resist.
Notice that the lecturer is Muslim, deliberately ignoring the fact that the Muslim warriors had just spilled out of Arabia in 633CE screaming 'Allah akbar!' and "We love death more than you love life' and laying waste to Palestine. That is why Sophronius decided to surrender Jerusalem to Omar rather than see it destroyed and plundered by the Muslim forces. 😁
Allah-hu-Akbar! 2 things: 1. Being a Muslim, I had heard this episode of Hazrat Umar's R.A. life from many muslim scholars. However, i was never moved as much as i did today after listening to Prof. Casagranda. Wish i had this kinda history teachers at my school. 2. Im proud and sorry! Proud of this religion Islam and our leaders who were the true followers of Islam. Just imagine, if this is the life of his companion, what would be the case with Prophet Muhammad himself (peace be upon him). Sorry to my fellow humans that i am not following Islam the way it was supposed to be followed!
Funny because I am for certain that guy in the video is employed in an educational facility. You really don’t need to hear this specific story to learn how the Europeans raped every country they had an interest in or came into contact with for any agenda imaginable. On that note, the muslims in the ottoman times may have been more understanding towards christians and other minorities like jews, at least more than their fellow christians in some instances. But the muslims have fallen from grace as well. Compared to Christianity and Judaism, Islam is quite young and therefore did not have as much time to be corrupted by our human nature. Which is why it might have seemed like the more human or well behaved side in medieval times. But in time we will have all abandoned our spirituality and fear of god. And not just in recent times! Whenever a man loses his fear of god that will bring to him the idea that we ourselves are judge, jury and executioner in this world. From then on everything went into a spiral of drug abuse, money and clout chasing as well as chronic depression. (Edit: as you can imagine, all of those are catalysts for war and crime against other humans)
You just learned less. This is total leftwing pro-islamic propaganda. If Islam was benign then why is there so much sexism, strife and hatred in almost every Islamic country. Why would moslems want to leave if it was such a paradise
So these narrations of history are being deliberately hidden to keep perpetuating a dark image of Islam. Unfortunately, even some, no. A lot of Muslims in this day and age are unaware of these beautiful and human stories in the history of Islam. This is my first time of coming across this Dr. Casagranda who went on with his lecture beautifully to an almost empty class and I say a big kudos to him. These truths need to come out more. Thank you.
Their not deliberately hidden you just never cared enough to look it up. I'm not even Muslim and I new this story because I'm a history buff. The dark image of Islam is perpetuated because you people don't care when your young men groom little girls, you think it's honorable to kill your daughter if she disgraces your family whatever that means. You think it's ok to kill Muslims who decide they don't want to be Muslims anymore. You go insane if someone draws a picture of your pedophile prophet. These and many more reasons are your peoples actions and they perpetuate this image because it's true!!! Fix yourself and fix your people!

The legacy of Omar ibn el Khatab is one of the most beautiful. To know that he was one of the biggest enemies and hated islam at the start, but became one of the greatest leaders of thr many leaders of Islam to spread the word of the one true God. I learnt many like this as a young child. When u learn in depth its beautiful and makes u understand the world as it is moves through time better, and humanity with all its trials and tribulations, its good and bad, and its strive for betterment. It saddened me when i moved to the west to see none of this was taught in schools. Only thing u hear about islam is the media’s version and all the twisted narratives, but its only when one truly delves into it, abolishing any biases it holds that one sees smthg they were never told. I went to Catholic school,run by nuns in Egypt. I learnt more at that school then i ever did here, i used to go to the libraries to dive deeper into history. Another wonderful memory for me…a true geek at heart ☺️
*Who explains to us why the Koran says Christians believe God has a biological son!* To all Muslims! Son of God means NOT SON! What is called the son of God is the word of God = god himself! Which has nothing to do with a child (son)! Thus, the Son of God is incarnated as the human Jesus and the human Jesus is therefore referred to as a son, which does not mean a son!
Hebr 1,2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, *by whom also he made the worlds;* as everyone can see the term Son of God refers to the Word of God = god himself! For through that God created the worlds! *what a mistake in the Qur'an!*

The lump in my throat comes from the lying Marxist professor that tries to place guilt on everything Western and whitewash the crimes of muslims. Propaganda of the worst kind. Rather expectable from a Marxist like him.

When Caliph Omar bin khattab pray side by side with the Arc Bishop.... My tears flowing through my eyes. And when Caliph Omar bin Khattab said to a Jews that Converted to Islam to find 80 families to establish new jewish population, my tears dropped for the second time..... May Allah always bring peace to humankind
Fun fact. The early Muslims were fierce and ruthless warriors and would have plundered and destroyed Jerusalem as they were doing elsewhere. Sophronius knew this. He also knew that Omar wanted Jerusalem and the Temple Mount because of Muhammad's flight there on Buraq. That is why he insisted on surrendering to Omar and no one else. 😁
@D. Fun fact. After Muhammad's death in 632CE, the first caliph Abu Bakr spent an entire year subjugating the Arab tribes that revolted against Islam in a series of bloody battles known as the Ridda Wars. Then in 633CE Muslim warriors spilled out of Arabia screaming Allah akbar and 'We love death more than you love life!' wreaking devastation on Christian Syria and Palestine. 😁
@David Zack typical Christian that spews lies. Here's the true story that Christians and Muslim scholars have deemed correct regarding UMass conquest of Juresalam: During the period of the Second Caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab, the Muslim forces, under the command of Abu Ubaydah, lay siege to Jerusalem . The Patriarch of the city, Sophronius, stated that he would negotiate only with Caliph Umar and that nobody enters Jerusalem before Caliph Umar. On hearing this Caliph Umar informed that he was on his way. Accompanied by a servant, Caliph Umar rode on camelback to Jerusalem though he could have been accompanied by an entourage that could have made the ground tremble under the hooves of horses. He did so to show simplicity and ensure that Allah alone deserves all the glories. On reaching Jerusalem, it was the servant’s turn to ride the camel and as a mark of respect and to ensure that the people see Caliph Umar, he wanted the Caliph to ride the camel. However Caliph Umar refused and entered Jerusalem on foot while the servant rode the camel to the shock and surprise of everyone including Patriarch Sophronius. On reaching the place Caliph Umar continued the journey on foot carrying his shoes in hand under the astonished gaze of the people. The Muslims who saw this spectacle recited the short prayers that refer to Allah’s absolute greatness and uniqueness. Caliph Umar walked to the army wearing modest threadbare clothes. The Christians who watched everything from the walls of Jerusalem were amazed at the strange simplicity, unable to believe that this simple man could be the leader of those well equipped armies. Abu Ubaidah who could not contain himself on seeing this unprecedented show of humility rushed to Umar’s side saying” today you have performed a magnificent deed before the people, perhaps you might….? Umar slapped him on the chest and criticized him saying “I wish someone other than you, Abu Ubaydah, had said this. We were a humiliated people and Allah honored us with Islam. We were weak and He gave us strength”. The Patriarch who saw the unfolding scenes with great admiration said to his people that nobody in the world would be able to stand up to masjidomarthese people and advisedthem to surrender to be saved. Negotiation took place and a famous treaty called 'Umariyya Covenant” was concluded .This treaty is still preserved in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
@David Zack The Christians requested that Jews, who were not there before the conquest, be forbidden to enter Jerusalem and Umar accepted. Yet on his part Umar offered members of all faiths safety in Jerusalem and protection for their beliefs and their holy places, forbidding them to be desecrated or destroyed. After the treaty was signed the key to the city was formally handed over in 637 AC. The gates of Jerusalem were opened and Caliph Umar entered along a promenade that led him to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Caliph Umar was inside and the Patriarch said to him “pray”. However Caliph Umar declined, fearing it might establish a precedent that would threaten the church's continued use as a Christian house of worship. Instead he prayed in an area to the south of the church, now the site of the Mosque of Umar in Jerusalem. In doing so Caliph Umar showed the world the meaning of tolerance and generosity in victory and strength. It was the greatness of Islam that shone in his spirit and was reflected in his ethics though he was a person known for his firmness and courage. Caliph Umar then asked to be taken to the site of Masjid Al Aqsa.He could not find, but patriarch showed him the way. On arrival, accompanied by hundreds of Muslims, he found the area covered in dust and debris. He rolled up his sleeves and began sweeping and clearing the mosque immediately. On seeing this other Muslims including army generals and soldiers joined him in cleaning the place. Once cleaned up Caliph Umar took off his cloak, prayed and left there. It was the first prayer of Muslims in the Masjid Al Aqsa after the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Caliph Umar immediately ordered the restoration of the mosque. A huge timber mosque, Masjid Al Marwani, with a capacity to accommodate 3000 worshippers was erected on this site at the southernmost wall of the Noble Sanctuary. They then started praying in this holy place. This was the most peaceful manner Jerusalem was conquered and great status of this mosque was restored after the affront committed by the Christians. Under Caliph Umar’s generosity those who wanted to leave were allowed to do so with all their possessions while others who opted to stay were guaranteed protection for their lives, property and places of worship. Later Caliph Umar reversed the four hundred year Christian ban on Jews, allowed them to return to Jerusalem and granted Christians free use of their holy sites .Thus he turned Jerusalem into a city where Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in tolerance, peace and harmony. This opened the doors to the Jews who were denied access to Jerusalem. Throughout the Muslim rule of Jerusalem,from 637 to 1917 except for two relatively short periods, Jerusalem maintained its rightful title of 'The Holy City'. Under Muslim rule there were no massacres, no burning and looting and no desecration of holy places unlike being committed now by the
An amazing lecture, he tells it as though he was present at that time. Thank you for spreading the truth that is absent from the history books and so is absent from peoples minds today. Umar ibn Al-Khattab was a true leader in every sense of the word. Humility combined with an incredible strength. Commitment to his faith and spreading the message in a way it should be spread, with compassion for humans and with their best interest at the core. Imagine, how different today's world would be if the so called leaders had just an ounce of Umar's character and faith.

Today we are literally being robbed by leaders in the name of their security World leaders should learn from him
For those who don't know Caliph 'Umar bin Al-Khattab is a very very rich man. If he live today he certainly is a multi-millionaire. But he chose to live humble following the footstep of Prophet Muhammad who came from aristocrate family (Bani Hashim) which r basically rich, but chose to live a basic life. Not only that but Companions like 'Uthman bin Al-'Affan, 'Abdurrahman bin 'Auf, Zubair bin Al-'Awwam n many others were also multi-millionaires of the time but chose to live like the Prophet.
Nonsense! He's lying! His ideologicxal filters are his motives. You can tell by how he slipped in the "What are these guys Marxists?" statement. Marxists like him invented propaganda. The National Socialists just copied Marxists.
I'm a moslem, i started sceptical hearing this gentlemen story toward Islam specially from the western people, then i started to cry how he deliver accademic the truth, he must have moslem reference books as as the sources. We as a moslem know these story by heart, he actually forgot to tell when crusaders cut the throat of the moslem, the head was reciting the quran. To non moslem people, you guys need to stop hating moslem, you need to share the real truth about moslem to your family, neighbor, community. Dont listen to Fox News, CNN, BBC, all western media that have a black heart toward Islam.
You hear this and believe all. I hear this and recall Martel the Hammer who destroyed the loot and supply trains of the Muslim invaders of Europe and how they, in wrath, turned and left the area. I recall how in WWI Lawrence of Arabia was only able to get the Arabs to join his attacks by promising them looting rights. I recall the annual mounds of Hindu heads stacked in Northern India by the Muslim conquerors as a celebration of their victories over the Indian Hindus and Sikhs in Northern India. I recall the slaughter and elimination of Buddhists and Hindus across Asia as the Muslims passed through the areas - exterminating and destroying the Buddhist monasteries as they went. Region after region destroyed, depopulated and/or forced to convert while he portrays them as the perfectly peaceful people with humble leaders. Yeah that doesn't quite fit. He's as biased and misleading as what we're told in other areas. BTW the Greek historians wrote of the Israelites invading Cyprus and prancing around festooned with the entrails of their defeated opposition and how this behavior disgusted and appalled the "civilized" ancient Greek. History is a fairly complex area.

The professor failed to tell the purpose of the Muslims conquering Jerusalem and those places. The purpose was to inform all the people about Islam and allow them to choose either Islam or their previous religion. Because there is no coercion in Islam. And conquering is the only way to reach these people. This is the true purpose.

Another example of tolerance towards Jews by Muslims is when the Ottomans welcomed Jews fleeing Spain from the Spanish Inquisition. Hundreds of thousands of Jews were relocated in the Balkans and western Anatolia. Even to this day, there is a sephardic Jewish community in Istanbul who speak a language called Ladino which is a form of Spanish spoken by these Jewish people.

That was Abu Ubayda Ibn Al-Jarrah, who was given the position of governing the Levant.
Great video. Another great story is Umar ibn Abdul Aziz (a later calif and a grandson of the calif mentioned here in the video) when the people of the city of Samarqand came complaining that the Muslim army conquered the city by surprise without offering islam or tribute before war.

To be fairm this stuff may not be 'common' knowledge and is not taught in high schools but it is not left out of modern history books. Contemporary history is extremally fair and balanced to all sides and is a far cry from the victorian historians of a hundred years ago.
Honesty? You mean propaganda. The guy literally exposed himself when he threw in a pro-Marxist statement in there. Marxists are masters of propaganda. If you think that muslims differ from christians in their conquering practices, think again. The muslims were the most aggressive conquerors the world has ever seen, capturing the largest portions of land in the least amount of time. That's why the crusades started in the first place. As a response to muslim attacks. The muslims were systematically pillaging the southern parts of Italy, Greece, etc. He's lying big time. Distorting history like a good Marxist he is, trying to instil guilt in everything Western!
Muhammad did say he would expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and leave none but Muslims. "I have been made victorious through terror" is what Muhammad said.
As a Native American tribal member who converted to Islam, I have told numerous times by "American" colonizers that I have made a big mistake because Christianity is the religion of love. If you go by their own holy book, it says, Matthew 12:33: “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” The "fruit" of Christianity has murdered MILLIONS of people, including my own people. 50 MILLION plus Native Americans because they wanted our land, resources, and we were NOT CHRISTIAN. Sounds like the religion of brotherly love, right? LOL #landback #mmiw #freepalestine
But didn't Native Americans kill other Native Americans? What should we then conclude? That Native Americans were also colonizers?? What can we say about the "fruit" of your people? Now that you are a Muslim, are ISIS the fruit of Islam? Boko Harm? Hamas? Al Qaeda? What about the Islamic terrorists who shout Allahu Akbar before killing innocent Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and other non-believers? Are they fruit of Islam? If only you'll quote the full exchange between Jesus and the disbelieving religious leaders. “33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” - Matthew 12:33-37 Christianity is a religion of brotherly love because that is what Jesus commanded. And that is what those he appointed as his disciples taught. If a Christian obeys the teachings of Jesus to love his enemies then he will bear good fruit. If he disobeys the teachings of Jesus to be "peacemakers" and "lovers" of God and the good, then he will bear bad fruit. Have you not read in the same book of the Christians where Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 7:23 If you are going to criticize a religion, at least put some effort to it. And if you can be fair, then better.

That might be the single most moving, profoundly beautiful story I've ever heard. I'm almost crying. I've never been religious - I'm technically baptised Catholic but I'm English and... well, we aren't a religious bunch. But the sheer beauty of Umar ibn al-Khattib's character cut straight through to me. It took a man of Islam to show a man of Christianity just how low they had fallen in the holiest city in the world. Imagine thinking that you're bringing the religion of Abraham to its highest stage, retaking that city, and when you get there the Christians have massacred the Jews and turned the Holy Mount into a garbage dump... And yet that's the 'dark ages', apparently. Maybe for us Europeans...

Religions don't like competition.
Christians don't need to conquer Jerusalem because it had been under Romans. And Romans became Christians. And they became part of Byzantine christian. Stop telling lies as if Muslim invaders of christian lands went to these lands for a vacation. No one will believe you. From the records of Byzantines, Muslims invaded Byzantine Palestine. You were so cruel with Jews and Byzantines. You are fooling no one. Stop demonizing christians as muslims were the ones invading. Christians just got back their lands that you took from them. Most middle east were christians as well as the Iberian, North Africa, Ethiopia, Nubia, even Persia there were significant number of christians. You also invaded Zoroastrian Persians.

Very right but problem is people like magic , fun , porn than religious history.
@@malikakajee4396 Actually, the real problem is people today want to do or have interest in thing they "like". Not everything needs to be liked to be studied, learned or practiced. You may not like working but you have to. You may not like studying but you have to. You may not like to be a decent person but you have to. So people who don't like religious history, they have to learn it no matter if they are religious or not because it is human history and billions of people practice various kinds of religions daily and you have to at least to some degree learn it enough to be respectful and decent so everyone can exist in harmony. Almost everyone is capable of malicious or evil, cruel actions and only their personal free will is holding them back from committing such acts and that free will must be strengthened by doing the shit you don't like and be stoic about it. So next time you want to do some bad stuff for fun, you hold out and resist.

Notice that the lecturer is Muslim, deliberately ignoring the fact that the Muslim warriors had just spilled out of Arabia in 633CE screaming 'Allah akbar!' and "We love death more than you love life' and laying waste to Palestine. That is why Sophronius decided to surrender Jerusalem to Omar rather than see it destroyed and plundered by the Muslim forces. 😁

1. Being a Muslim, I had heard this episode of Hazrat Umar's R.A. life from many muslim scholars. However, i was never moved as much as i did today after listening to Prof. Casagranda. Wish i had this kinda history teachers at my school.

Funny because I am for certain that guy in the video is employed in an educational facility.
You really don’t need to hear this specific story to learn how the Europeans raped every country they had an interest in or came into contact with for any agenda imaginable.
On that note, the muslims in the ottoman times may have been more understanding towards christians and other minorities like jews, at least more than their fellow christians in some instances.
But the muslims have fallen from grace as well. Compared to Christianity and Judaism, Islam is quite young and therefore did not have as much time to be corrupted by our human nature. Which is why it might have seemed like the more human or well behaved side in medieval times. But in time we will have all abandoned our spirituality and fear of god. And not just in recent times!
Whenever a man loses his fear of god that will bring to him the idea that we ourselves are judge, jury and executioner in this world. From then on everything went into a spiral of drug abuse, money and clout chasing as well as chronic depression. (Edit: as you can imagine, all of those are catalysts for war and crime against other humans)
You just learned less. This is total leftwing pro-islamic propaganda. If Islam was benign then why is there so much sexism, strife and hatred in almost every Islamic country. Why would moslems want to leave if it was such a paradise

So these narrations of history are being deliberately hidden to keep perpetuating a dark image of Islam. Unfortunately, even some, no. A lot of Muslims in this day and age are unaware of these beautiful and human stories in the history of Islam. This is my first time of coming across this Dr. Casagranda who went on with his lecture beautifully to an almost empty class and I say a big kudos to him. These truths need to come out more. Thank you.

Their not deliberately hidden you just never cared enough to look it up. I'm not even Muslim and I new this story because I'm a history buff.
The dark image of Islam is perpetuated because you people don't care when your young men groom little girls, you think it's honorable to kill your daughter if she disgraces your family whatever that means. You think it's ok to kill Muslims who decide they don't want to be Muslims anymore. You go insane if someone draws a picture of your pedophile prophet.

The legacy of Omar ibn el Khatab is one of the most beautiful. To know that he was one of the biggest enemies and hated islam at the start, but became one of the greatest leaders of thr many leaders of Islam to spread the word of the one true God. I learnt many like this as a young child. When u learn in depth its beautiful and makes u understand the world as it is moves through time better, and humanity with all its trials and tribulations, its good and bad, and its strive for betterment.
It saddened me when i moved to the west to see none of this was taught in schools. Only thing u hear about islam is the media’s version and all the twisted narratives, but its only when one truly delves into it, abolishing any biases it holds that one sees smthg they were never told. I went to Catholic school,run by nuns in Egypt. I learnt more at that school then i ever did here, i used to go to the libraries to dive deeper into history.

To all Muslims! Son of God means NOT SON! What is called the son of God is the word of God = god himself! Which has nothing to do with a child (son)! Thus, the Son of God is incarnated as the human Jesus and the human Jesus is therefore referred to as a son, which does not mean a son!
Hebr 1,2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, *by whom also he made the worlds;*

Truly amazing shows how humble and wise Muslims were back then
Bro Islam is pure and perfect muslims are not but the religion is the same
Fun fact. The early Muslims were fierce and ruthless warriors and would have plundered and destroyed Jerusalem as they were doing elsewhere. Sophronius knew this. He also knew that Omar wanted Jerusalem and the Temple Mount because of Muhammad's flight there on Buraq. That is why he insisted on surrendering to Omar and no one else. 😁
@D. Fun fact. After Muhammad's death in 632CE, the first caliph Abu Bakr spent an entire year subjugating the Arab tribes that revolted against Islam in a series of bloody battles known as the Ridda Wars. Then in 633CE Muslim warriors spilled out of Arabia screaming Allah akbar and 'We love death more than you love life!' wreaking devastation on Christian Syria and Palestine. 😁
@David Zack typical Christian that spews lies. Here's the true story that Christians and Muslim scholars have deemed correct regarding UMass conquest of Juresalam:
During the period of the Second Caliph Umar Ibn al-Khattab, the Muslim forces, under the command of Abu Ubaydah, lay siege to Jerusalem . The Patriarch of the city, Sophronius, stated that he would negotiate only with Caliph Umar and that nobody enters Jerusalem before Caliph Umar. On hearing this Caliph Umar informed that he was on his way.
Accompanied by a servant, Caliph Umar rode on camelback to Jerusalem though he could have been accompanied by an entourage that could have made the ground tremble under the hooves of horses. He did so to show simplicity and ensure that Allah alone deserves all the glories.
On reaching Jerusalem, it was the servant’s turn to ride the camel and as a mark of respect and to ensure that the people see Caliph Umar, he wanted the Caliph to ride the camel. However Caliph Umar refused and entered Jerusalem on foot while the servant rode the camel to the shock and surprise of everyone including Patriarch Sophronius. On reaching the place Caliph Umar continued the journey on foot carrying his shoes in hand under the astonished gaze of the people.
The Muslims who saw this spectacle recited the short prayers that refer to Allah’s absolute greatness and uniqueness. Caliph Umar walked to the army wearing modest threadbare clothes. The Christians who watched everything from the walls of Jerusalem were amazed at the strange simplicity, unable to believe that this simple man could be the leader of those well equipped armies.
Abu Ubaidah who could not contain himself on seeing this unprecedented show of humility rushed to Umar’s side saying” today you have performed a magnificent deed before the people, perhaps you might….? Umar slapped him on the chest and criticized him saying “I wish someone other than you, Abu Ubaydah, had said this. We were a humiliated people and Allah honored us with Islam. We were weak and He gave us strength”.
The Patriarch who saw the unfolding scenes with great admiration said to his people that nobody in the world would be able to stand up to masjidomarthese people and advisedthem to surrender to be saved. Negotiation took place and a famous treaty called 'Umariyya Covenant” was concluded .This treaty is still preserved in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.
@David Zack The Christians requested that Jews, who were not there before the conquest, be forbidden to enter Jerusalem and Umar accepted. Yet on his part Umar offered members of all faiths safety in Jerusalem and protection for their beliefs and their holy places, forbidding them to be desecrated or destroyed.
After the treaty was signed the key to the city was formally handed over in 637 AC. The gates of Jerusalem were opened and Caliph Umar entered along a promenade that led him to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Caliph Umar was inside and the Patriarch said to him “pray”. However Caliph Umar declined, fearing it might establish a precedent that would threaten the church's continued use as a Christian house of worship. Instead he prayed in an area to the south of the church, now the site of the Mosque of Umar in Jerusalem.
In doing so Caliph Umar showed the world the meaning of tolerance and generosity in victory and strength. It was the greatness of Islam that shone in his spirit and was reflected in his ethics though he was a person known for his firmness and courage.
Caliph Umar then asked to be taken to the site of Masjid Al Aqsa.He could not find, but patriarch showed him the way.
On arrival, accompanied by hundreds of Muslims, he found the area covered in dust and debris. He rolled up his sleeves and began sweeping and clearing the mosque immediately. On seeing this other Muslims including army generals and soldiers joined him in cleaning the place. Once cleaned up Caliph Umar took off his cloak, prayed and left there. It was the first prayer of Muslims in the Masjid Al Aqsa after the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
Caliph Umar immediately ordered the restoration of the mosque. A huge timber mosque, Masjid Al Marwani, with a capacity to accommodate 3000 worshippers was erected on this site at the southernmost wall of the Noble Sanctuary. They then started praying in this holy place. This was the most peaceful manner Jerusalem was conquered and great status of this mosque was restored after the affront committed by the Christians.
Under Caliph Umar’s generosity those who wanted to leave were allowed to do so with all their possessions while others who opted to stay were guaranteed protection for their lives, property and places of worship. Later Caliph Umar reversed the four hundred year Christian ban on Jews, allowed them to return to Jerusalem and granted Christians free use of their holy sites .Thus he turned Jerusalem into a city where Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived in tolerance, peace and harmony.
This opened the doors to the Jews who were denied access to Jerusalem. Throughout the Muslim rule of Jerusalem,from 637 to 1917 except for two relatively short periods, Jerusalem maintained its rightful title of 'The Holy City'.
Under Muslim rule there were no massacres, no burning and looting and no desecration of holy places unlike being committed now by the

But he chose to live humble following the footstep of Prophet Muhammad who came from aristocrate family (Bani Hashim) which r basically rich, but chose to live a basic life. Not only that but Companions like 'Uthman bin Al-'Affan, 'Abdurrahman bin 'Auf, Zubair bin Al-'Awwam n many others were also multi-millionaires of the time but chose to live like the Prophet.
what a great speaker..
his words painted a picture in my mind and humbled my heart.
i wish knowledge and peace upon everyone 💙🕊🌍
Nonsense! He's lying! His ideologicxal filters are his motives. You can tell by how he slipped in the "What are these guys Marxists?" statement. Marxists like him invented propaganda. The National Socialists just copied Marxists.
I'm a moslem, i started sceptical hearing this gentlemen story toward Islam specially from the western people, then i started to cry how he deliver accademic the truth, he must have moslem reference books as as the sources. We as a moslem know these story by heart, he actually forgot to tell when crusaders cut the throat of the moslem, the head was reciting the quran.
To non moslem people, you guys need to stop hating moslem, you need to share the real truth about moslem to your family, neighbor, community. Dont listen to Fox News, CNN, BBC, all western media that have a black heart toward Islam.
And those two English fans have the audacity to wear crusaders cosplay to watch World Cup in Qatar.
Because they never heard the real
History of the Middle East.
Amazing! Looks like I have to research more history!
This needs to be on mainstream media, not the hateful narrative we're constantly exposed to.
Correct, we need more unity, this is just healing to watch. It gives you hope.
Wished this lecture just went on for eternity. Tears in my eyes. What have we made of the holy land today.
You hear this and believe all.
I hear this and recall Martel the Hammer who destroyed the loot and supply trains of the Muslim invaders of Europe and how they, in wrath, turned and left the area. I recall how in WWI Lawrence of Arabia was only able to get the Arabs to join his attacks by promising them looting rights. I recall the annual mounds of Hindu heads stacked in Northern India by the Muslim conquerors as a celebration of their victories over the Indian Hindus and Sikhs in Northern India. I recall the slaughter and elimination of Buddhists and Hindus across Asia as the Muslims passed through the areas - exterminating and destroying the Buddhist monasteries as they went. Region after region destroyed, depopulated and/or forced to convert while he portrays them as the perfectly peaceful people with humble leaders. Yeah that doesn't quite fit.
He's as biased and misleading as what we're told in other areas. BTW the Greek historians wrote of the Israelites invading Cyprus and prancing around festooned with the entrails of their defeated opposition and how this behavior disgusted and appalled the "civilized" ancient Greek. History is a fairly complex area.

May God bless this man for speaking the truth.

one thing I noticed, when the crusaders took jerusalem, there were christians and jews, there were church and sinagoge. but when the christians surrender to muslim, there were no jews, no muslims.
this story always gets me. whenever i listen to it, i cry.
Thank you so much for your unbiased lecture of true of history and thank you also for sharing it here, allowing us to benefit. Much respect from Australia. .
I was brought to tears Because I know the beauty of Islam, Especially by the strict compliance to the authentic religion by Omar. Omar never played Politics. Unfortunately, Islaam has been misrepresented by the majority of media And by politicians worldwide. This is what brought tears to my eyes.
Does this Dr knows how many people are watching him on youtube? he needs to know he's appreciated!
No... It's not crazy... It's the Truth and only the Truth... Thank you for this truthful and beautiful video. Let everybody know the true history they tried to sweep under the carpet and hide. Thank you again. Alhamdou Lillah.
Nonsense! He's spewing propaganda of the Marxist kind.
During the crusade era, muslims fought about 300 wars of conquest, Christians fought about a dozen defensive wars.
_So it was the christian that spreaded by swords._ 💯
@@netaji-thebritishslayer4379 lol u mean the pagans that were slaughtering each other? And then the rulers invite the Muslims in to side with them? Happened all the time. Sikhs would side with hindusm. Or hindus would side with Muslims..
There has never been a such thing as India.. just a buch of waring states. And no the fantasy comic books like mahabharata dont count as history.
@Netaji-The British Slayer
Probably the best thing happened to India
There was like 9 crusades in total from the Christians. There were hundreds, thousands more invasions from Muslims into Christian lands. So you are wrong

@Ahmad Adnan Islam is built off of Christianity in the first place and newer doesn't equal better that's a weak argument
@Ahmad Adnan being untouched and unchanged doesnt mean its the true one. islam is a young religion in 6th century theres plenty religions older than it hinduism for one is the worlds oldest. out of lets say 3000 gods your one isnt the true one.
Alhamdulillah for Islam. May God guide humanity.
There's nothing like an unbiased lecture and this is nothing like one.
Christendom is a political entity not religious so whatever they did wasn't Christian teaching and Islam has a very different teaching to show us all but not that day.
In other words neither side were following their respective teachings.
such a great man, such a great religion. thank you for the video.
Alhamdullillah for being Muslim 🥲❤️
*Who explains to us why the Koran says Christians believe God has a biological son!*
To all Muslims! Son of God means NOT SON! What is called the son of God is the word of God = god himself! Which has nothing to do with a child (son)! Thus, the Son of God is incarnated as the human Jesus and the human Jesus is therefore referred to as a son, which does not mean a son!
Hebr 1,2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, *by whom also he made the worlds;*
as everyone can see the term Son of God refers to the Word of God = god himself! For through that God created the worlds! *what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
@Harald TV doesn’t make any sense g
John 1,1 -3 + 14 confirms the creator of all creation became human! = YHWH!
as everyone can see the term Son of God refers to the Word of God = god himself! For through that God created the worlds! *what a mistake in the Qur'an!*
Exactly! the Koran writer didn't even know what Christians believe! The writer of the Koran didn't even know that God became man according to Christianity! The writer of the Koran did not even know the most important foundations of Christianity!
I am not able to express what I feel... Reflekt Now. Thanks for uploading this video. May Almighty bless you...
Guess what Salahadin did when he reconquered Jerusalem from the crusaders het let the Christian and crusader nobility and anyone who wanted to leave, leave. Now guess what Richard did when he recaptured Antioch, killed everyone inside even the Christians that opened the city gates to him (cause again they were the wrong kind of Christians) despite Salahadin army right outside the gates and having hostages. PS Salahadin spared the hostages.
How sad it is that people were getting up and walking out of this lecture.

@@andryraed1635 it’s a nice story and everything but as you said it is selective history and doesn’t account for the fact that Islam is the most violent religion of all time relative it’s influence and the amount of time it has been in existence. They are still graping and killing men women and children in western countries today, citing jihad.
Oh lord how much the world needs Omar especially today.
Its so sad that there were only 10 people attending.
Literally brings tears in my eyes 😢
All the 4 rightfully guided caliphs had one outstanding virtue they were known with and Omar(r.a) was known to be the most just and fair!
And what Israel is doing to Muslims now😢
Speechless. I wish we had teachers like this guy and leaders like Omar Ibn Khattab RA.
This bought tears to my eyes and made the hairs on my body stand on end. This is our legacy, our history. The justice and Imaan of our past. I saw how inadequate and how lacking my islam was. May Allah raise our imaan to these levels. True power is when you possess the ability to punish yet choose to show mercy.
Amazing video and amazing lecture. Thank you brother for making this and spreading this. May Allah give the Christian universities more professors like these.
The professor failed to tell the purpose of the Muslims conquering Jerusalem and those places.
The purpose was to inform all the people about Islam and allow them to choose either Islam or their previous religion. Because there is no coercion in Islam. And conquering is the only way to reach these people.
This is the true purpose.

Another example of tolerance towards Jews by Muslims is when the Ottomans welcomed Jews fleeing Spain from the Spanish Inquisition. Hundreds of thousands of Jews were relocated in the Balkans and western Anatolia. Even to this day, there is a sephardic Jewish community in Istanbul who speak a language called Ladino which is a form of Spanish spoken by these Jewish people. Muslims never had intentions to kill Jewish people as they were a people of the book.
Of course they welcomed the Jews after annihilating the Christians someone had to actually work to feed the muslim aggressors.
@@dggmn2109 which Christians did they annihilate?
@@SlowLiterature The byzantine Greek Christians check the book The Decline of Medieval Hellenism in Asia Minor and the Process of Islamization from the Eleventh through the Fifteenth Century

@@SlowLiterature my friend is not rocket science Christians, Hindus etc became Muslims under the threat of death or to pay less tax.
Umar was a relative and close associate and lived and bled with the prophet, ofcourse he got the fundamentals of islam well as were the other 3 of rashidin caliphs. there are many other stories of these caliphs which are very moving and portray the fundamentals of islam well. i so wish i could live at the time of the prophet!

I'm a Muslim and haven't heard of this yet, I guess that's just western education. I knew muslims saved the Jewish faith of some sort but didn't know it was in such an amazing way.
But now they need to be wiped
This is an amazing part of history and I am glad it is being told. I live in Cambodia where Muslims here are called Cham. They are peaceful people and the women wear colorful head coverings and they do not practice genital mutilation. I have complete respect for them. So can you also lecture on when in history did Islam have a shift to the way many practice today (not like the calif you described)? I am interested to understand.
Sure, look up forced conversion of minorities in Pakistan 🥰 , look up holy sepulcher, look up devirisme 🥰🥰 it’s really beautiful and peaceful wish people could see it more
@@andryraed1635 Sepulcher was given to the muslims and is open for christian Prayer. Conversions in pakistan were small scale. Although Devisirme was larger scale the same things happened all over europe and africa - Christians forcefully converted natives and conscripted them. Your points prove nothing but the reality of huuman nature.
Top most reason would be to not know the language of their Holy scripture - Arabic
When you do not know precisely what's been revealed, it's easy for anyone to have their own comprehensions & in many cases divergent ideologies mixed in by some corrupt looking for power & fame
That's a complicated topic. As is demonstrated by religious extremists from the middle east, it arguably never changed. At the same time, not everyone was prone to violence and many would be content to just kind their business and go about their lives.
@Alamgir Siddiqui I'm glad to hear that :)
I'm not an emotional person by any means but the part about Omar and the bishop made me cry
Can you read about holy sepulcher church and devirisme and cry too ? Pretty please ? 🥺

@@alamut6766 It will never go viral because the Muslim guy's delivery is so vague and sloppy it's as if he's telling a kid's bedtime story. 'And there was this Christian (jeering) who came out in his finery (boo, hiss) and there was our hero Omar (cheers) dressed in patched garments (bless)...' When the truth is that Khalid and Omar and other Muslim warriors had just laid waste to Christian Syria and Palestine terrorising the world with their savagery. 😁
Well he is telling the story like this so the westerners with the colonization mind like u can understand how ugly there history is 🙂
@@waltersparling8954 Fun fact. We are talking about the year 637CE, bro. When the Muslims had just spilled out of Arabia for the first time screaming 'Allah akbar and We love death more than you love life!' and laying waste to Palestine. 😁
@@davidzack8735 The guy isn't even a Muslim. Another thing is, it's clear that you've got no idea what your talking about considering the fact that you just claimed that Umar Ibn Al-Khattab supposedly laid waste to Palestine, not knowing that he never led any military campaign. He had never even participated in a single battle outside of the Arabian Peninsula. The only thing that Khalid Ibn Al-Waleed did was conquer, he was never in charge of the administration. That was Abu Ubayda Ibn Al-Jarrah, who was given the position of governing the Levant.
Everyone needs to hear this
You need to read about holy sepulcher, inter religious treatment of Christians in Islam throughout its existence and DEVIRISME
Great video.
Another great story is Umar ibn Abdul Aziz (a later calif and a grandson of the calif mentioned here in the video) when the people of the city of Samarqand came complaining that the Muslim army conquered the city by surprise without offering islam or tribute before war.
Umar got angry and ordered the army to leave the conquered city. The people of Samarqand amazed by the view of the victorious army leaving the conquered city without any harm reopened the gates for them voluntarily.
What an amazing story

Alhumdulillah!!
Really amazing , they sacrefised their life's not only for muslims but it's for Jews n for Christians also
Waw, how honorable was Omar, he treated Christians and jews as his brothers while the crusaders butchered everyone including other Christians, huge respect to him and Saladin for being honorable and mercifull to the Christians.
You say this about Omar when the Muslims had just spilled out of Arabia in 633CE screaming 'Allah akbar and We love death more than you love life!' and laying waste to Palestine. 😁
To be fairm this stuff may not be 'common' knowledge and is not taught in high schools but it is not left out of modern history books. Contemporary history is extremally fair and balanced to all sides and is a far cry from the victorian historians of a hundred years ago.
Look how amazing the acts of Omar ibn Alkhattab. Now imagine how great was our prophet peace be upon him. 😭
Nice to see Geoff Bridges giving history lectures, he’s very good 👍🏻
Thank you for your honesty may Allah reward you for your message 🤲❤️
Honesty? You mean propaganda. The guy literally exposed himself when he threw in a pro-Marxist statement in there. Marxists are masters of propaganda. If you think that muslims differ from christians in their conquering practices, think again. The muslims were the most aggressive conquerors the world has ever seen, capturing the largest portions of land in the least amount of time. That's why the crusades started in the first place. As a response to muslim attacks. The muslims were systematically pillaging the southern parts of Italy, Greece, etc. He's lying big time. Distorting history like a good Marxist he is, trying to instil guilt in everything Western!
Muhammad did say he would expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and leave none but Muslims. "I have been made victorious through terror" is what Muhammad said.
What's your source?
Just imagine the character of prophet Mohammed (SAW) if Umar was his student!

As a Native American tribal member who converted to Islam, I have told numerous times by "American" colonizers that I have made a big mistake because Christianity is the religion of love. If you go by their own holy book, it says, Matthew 12:33: “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.” The "fruit" of Christianity has murdered MILLIONS of people, including my own people. 50 MILLION plus Native Americans because they wanted our land, resources, and we were NOT CHRISTIAN. Sounds like the religion of brotherly love, right? LOL
#landback #mmiw #freepalestine
assalamualaikum ❤️
assalamualaikum ❤️
Source?
But didn't Native Americans kill other Native Americans? What should we then conclude? That Native Americans were also colonizers?? What can we say about the "fruit" of your people?
Now that you are a Muslim, are ISIS the fruit of Islam? Boko Harm? Hamas? Al Qaeda? What about the Islamic terrorists who shout Allahu Akbar before killing innocent Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and other non-believers? Are they fruit of Islam?
If only you'll quote the full exchange between Jesus and the disbelieving religious leaders.
“33 Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” - Matthew 12:33-37
Christianity is a religion of brotherly love because that is what Jesus commanded. And that is what those he appointed as his disciples taught. If a Christian obeys the teachings of Jesus to love his enemies then he will bear good fruit. If he disobeys the teachings of Jesus to be "peacemakers" and "lovers" of God and the good, then he will bear bad fruit.
Have you not read in the same book of the Christians where Jesus says,
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 7:23
If you are going to criticize a religion, at least put some effort to it. And if you can be fair, then better.
