"MORGAN FREEMAN" Comment About ISLAM And Religion. by muhamadnur: 3:34pm On Apr 25, 2016 |
Morgan Freeman disappointed
some fans during Sunday’s
episode of National
Geographic’s “The Story of God” when he downplayed
Islamic terrorism, saying
Islam aims for peace.
News reports of Islamic
extremism by “a tiny
percentage of Muslims” do not reflect the mindset of the
majority of Muslims, Freeman
said.
“Meeting Muslims face to face,
I've learned that Islam aims
for people to live in peace,” Freeman remarked. “But
watching the news today,
you'd be forgiven for not
knowing that. A tiny
percentage of Muslims are
waging war against the West.”
The apocalypse was the theme
of the second episode of the
National Geographic Channel’s
new docu-series hosted by
Freeman. The actor set out to “find out
why so many religions predict
an apocalypse.” Why do
religions predict an end of
days or judgment day? Is it all
in our minds? Freeman tackled these and other questions
from an atheist point of view
on his journey.
“Isis and other religious
extremist groups believe the
apocalypse has already begun.”
Freeman interviewed Maajid
Nawaz, who was radicalized
as teenager living in the UK
and joined Hizb ut-Tahrir,
precursor to Al Qaeda. “What I mean by Islamism is
the desire to impose any
version of Islam over
society,” said Nawaz. “And
that ideology was sold to me
as if it was the religion of Islam and that's what I
adopted. I grew up facing a
very, very severe form of
violent racism, domestically
within the UK.”
The actor also stated that the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim
religions pay homage to the
same God. While there is some
historical evidence for this
conclusion, the religions are
very different and should not be grouped together.
“Islam is an Arabic word that
means surrender. Submission
to God's will. The same god
the Jews and Christians
worship,” said the star. He visited the caves where the
Dead Sea Scrolls were
discovered. Kim Haines-Eitzen,
expert in early Christianity
related to him her argument
that Roman Emperor Nero was the antichrist.
“The Christians hated Nero. He
was the antichrist,” Freeman
narrated later.
As in the first episode of “The
Story of God,” Freeman shifts his attention midway to
science.
“Culturally, we seem to have
a morbid attraction to the
apocalypse,” he begins.
He interviewed Stewart Shankmans, psychology
professor at the University of
Illinois at Chicago, who studies
our subconscious belief in the
apocalypse and believes it
may be hard-wired into our brains.
In a lab test of human
subjects’ responses to small
shocks Shankmans concluded
that, “knowing when the bad
thing is going to come creates a qualitatively different
emotional experience than not
knowing.”
Therefore, we try to predict
doom in order to allow
ourselves some solace. Freeman examined Hinduism
and Buddhism, which believe
the world goes on in cycles
with no final apocalypse. He
also talked to Hurricane
Katrina survivors, who said their experience felt
apocalyptic.
Contradicting traditional
views of what apocalypse
stands for, Freeman tells his
viewers that apocalypse, a Greek word meaning lifting
the veil is about
enlightenment not war and
death.
“It's a state of mind and heart
that helps us see the truth. Not some far off day of
judgment. It's here, it's now,”
he concludes. |

The concept of islam being a peaceful religion is a myth that has been sold to the west by muslim apologists and of course people like Morgan freeman will choose to be politically correct and promote this myth. True muslims will arrogantly tell you that islam is not of Peace but it is for domination by all means necessary. Make no mistake about it, islam is an extremely very violent and dangerous religion. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

In islam you get peace only when you surrender to Allah will. Surah 9:29: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission and feel themselves subdued. (Yusuf Ali) This verse does not say fight does who attack you first. NO, the verse say fight does who do NOT BELIEVE in Allah. You get peace only when you defect them. And the unbelievers get peace only when they surrender. 2 Likes |

Freeman was trying to be moderate. He knows the truth about religion. He knows that the apocalypse, as predicted by the Christians and Muslims, mean nothing but transition from ignorance to knowledge and that most of the prophecies of the book of revelation has already happened. |
Re: "MORGAN FREEMAN" Comment About ISLAM And Religion. by proudkafir: 6:43am On Apr 26, 2016 |
muhamadnur:Muslims always threatening world war 3, are they going to fight with horses and camel, just as their criminal prophet did. Muslims will be evaporated by infidels if they mess up again like their criminal prophet did. Muslims should restrict their lunacy and threat to saudi Arabia, Iran and Afghanistan. The time when Islamic armies run the show had expired, we kafir run the world now, Muslim countries inclusive. |
