1. Islam is the name of the religion that only about 5 pillars of the religion and 6 pillars of faith, that's the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said in the hadith. Politic is another matter and actually THERE IS NO SUCH THING. The Arabs themselves don't know what to do because the prophet himself never said anything about it. The "khalifa" system was totally Arab creation have nothing to do with the religion. The Arab never have a country before, never have a king, never have a systematic running government. The "khalifa" system actually modeled from Roman democracy, but it's a failure because Arabs never have experience about it before, it is their first time, that's why 3 out of 4 khalifah murdered. Then the Syrians take over, the Umayyad dynasty, they have experience under Byzantine rule before, so they just run using Byzantine government model. Abassid using Persian model, Turk using Mongol model, Al-Andalus are city states almost like Greek, Fatimid using Egyptian-Greek-Persian model...they all using previous government model because Arabs never have any experience running a country. Muslims in South East Asia using already existing monarchy system , China with already existing dynastic system.

4. Islam is not a religion, it's "way of life." It's not just about how you believe in God and how you do the prayer, but it's about how you do your life in every aspect. And everything was taught in Al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah.
5. This machine kills fascists <3
6. In fact, democracy was not born when the Muslims of this democratization has not succeeded in all the Islamic Albuladan
7. i rarely saw an american talk so accurate about islam and its cultural background you are a very clever and sensitive person and i admire you you just mistook some phrases that you exchanged between muhammad and the quran, like the one about nobility it is muhammad who said this one not the quran, which states that the wisest and the more knowledgable people are the best among humans etc also that the ink of their writings is more precious than martyrs blood shed in wars, the quran here states that wars must be intellectual and emulativ in pursuit of knowledge or as debates to convince someone peacefully, cause if u r looking for the truth you dont need to go to war an pretend to holiness or some weird "faith purity", i love also one of muhammad sentences that goes further stating that the tears of a loving man ( or woman)who has lost a loved one are more holy than martyrs blood shed in wars :)
8. John Green misses a lot about Islam / muslims, it has been sanitized, bowdlerized and highly biased. One only to read varoius books in say in Amazon.com and watch news TV's and many forgien national news shows a more realiztic atttiude of Islam. And yes, Islam / muslims are evil.

    Where is border between common sence and stupidity in primitive minds? Why is so important no insulting god, mohammad, book, kabba..than to be man or to be moral person as atheist or deist with strong antitheist attitude?
    is good to be primitive person or so stupid believe in winged horse or sun which sunset fall into mud on the west where dwell people?
    What is narcissistic anger when somebody show logical proof to all believers whatever it be religion. Narcissistic anger or aggressive responce on logic explanation is one psychopathology or lack of comprehension infantile minds.
    Where is border between politic intentions and religion dogma?
    What is globalisation and internet? What is progressive science and adaptation on that, devil work or god work? God hate progress and new creation because it is devil logic work, and suggest to people to stay primitive and conservative.
14. Liberal white guy says that Islam is free and egalitarian. Also claims to be a "history" know-er.

    Hey, great video. Except I wanted you to clarify something more. The Video would have just increased by 15 sec. Slavery in Islam is permuted but not encouraged. One of the best ways to diminish sin is to free a slave for example. Also, the slave must be given the right to education/health/food/ and clothing just like the master. The only thing is that the slave needs to obey the master as long as the command does not go against the religion.
    
    Most people would confuse slavery in Islam with slavery of black people by Europeans and USA, where the blacks literally did not get any right/ proper food/shelter/clothing/education.
