If you're a non-Muslim, be prepared to sit through one man taking a really long time to make the most banal points you've ever heard.
Who is going to watch these?
Peace
czgibson, you seem to suggest that these videos aren't really that useful (though correct me if I misunderstood you). But you have made the mistake of generalizing both Muslims and non-Muslims. Not all Muslims know all of this already. Remember that there are many new reverts, and that we are still learning about the religion. Many reverts, myself included, find videos like these very helpful. We already believe, but are still learning the finer points. This type of video can help us to understand more about the Qur'an and Islam, and to help us have enough of an understanding to hopefully be able to explain things to friends and family when they ask about it.
Also remember that these new reverts were once non-Muslims, looking to learn more about Islam so that they could decide if it was a religion they could believe in. Videos like these ones are easy to follow, and are accessible to anyone, even if they don't know much about the Qur'an or the sayings of the Prophet yet. Not all non-Muslims are uninterested in learning about Islam, even if they have no intention of reverting.
Maybe these videos aren't useful to non-Muslims who are adamant that they will never believe in the Qur'an and who don't want to learn about Islam. Also, they may not be useful to Muslims who are well versed in the religion (although they may still enjoy watching them, who knows?). But, speaking for myself, a recent revert (and a fairly typical one, I'm sure), I found them quite interesting and useful. Thank you, brother Hamza81.
