assalaamu alaykum,
approx 1/5 of reverts later turn apostate, it is sad but true and many of them come to islam for the wrong reasons or are never taught the correct authentic islam to start with so are angered when they are feeling misled by other muslims.
on the other hand about 4/5 of those who leave islam for another faith or no faith at all do return to a more authentic version of islam and complain they left because they never understood islam in the first place such as many of the videos of former muslims the christians speak to are rafadiyyah or ahlus bidah or were never practicing and had cultural understandings of islam.
lol, to be honest though never heard of anyone being drugged into islam, seems a little bit desperate approach to getting more reverts.
assalaamu alaykum,
Abu Abdullah

I find the video to be a bit suspicious at the least. If he is honest, then I would say he came into Islam for all of the wrong reasons and discovered that he had no idea what he was doing and he is now looking for an explanation as to why he did it.

This guy seems a little strange, and I wouldn't be too surprised if he wasn't under the influence of whatever substance during the making of this video too ...
(Incidentally, I would be quite interested to watch the first video he is referring to)
But I have to respect his stance that he will not 'believe anything under the influence of illegal substances' and that he will keep an open mind until he has read the whole Qu'ran. That sounds like a pretty positive attitude to me ...
Are the mods going to allow this thread, or could it be perceived as anti-Islamic?
peace

Well seeing as it is a youtube user, anyone on youtube can 'pretend to leave Islam', (not saying he/she is lying, but he/she might be-not assuming either...but you'know) :shade:
It's just so simple and easy to do,
Youtube is like the media :Evil:
Pure evil i tell you :rolleyes:
I really wana see the video now :D
AsalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh :)

Well, it would be highly unlikely that genuine convert to Islam would put up a video pretending he had left the faith again ... don't you think??
I believe this guy is genuinely going back on his decision, because he realises that he has converted under the wrong circumstances. He is right when he says that under the influence of illegal substances he could believe
anything - so his conversion is pretty meaningless at this stage.
But bear in mind that he is not saying Islam is false either ... he is just buying himself some more time to think it over.
That's a pretty sensible attitude ...

I have only discovered youtube fairly recently, and I must say that the more I learn about it, the less credibility do I give to it.
You are right,
anybody can put up
any video, not matter how wacky!
Who knows which videos are genuine, and which aren't?

Simple- just watch the videos that were not actually created for youtube in the first place, for example, I enjoy watch videos posted of famous Islamic comparative religious debaters such as Ahmed Deedat and Zakir Naik. It is also nice to listen to the Quran recitations posted...

Is this the same guy as the one who recently converted, after making bad videos about the Quran? Well, if it is, then he may have only converted because he wanted publicity.

Having read some of his recent comments on his other videos, I would say that this guy was possibly high when he accepted Islam. He has also recently said:
"I have decided not to believe in Allah until I read the whole Quran and Hadith with a clear head. I ordered the Quran an infinitely long time ago, but the Postal Service here is most deffinitely worse than the postal service in Saudi Arabia. I won't trust the Quran's promises until I have read the whole Quran and possibly the Hadith. "

maybe it is because no knowledge is really required to become a muslim- it is sometimes presented as a very simple matter of saying the shahadah and then when they realize that it requires more than that to be a good muslim and that it's not like taking a magic pill, they change their minds.

That is not true. Of course a person needs to have knowledge to be a Muslim! Your statement could only possible apply to a person who has absolutely no knowledge of Islam other than "There is no God but Allah and that Muhammad pbuh is His messenger".
I honestly do not understand how anyone could become a Muslim without at least knowing the five pillars of Islam, and knowing that they are obligatory.
True, to become a Muslim all you need to do is say the shahadah,
while fulfilling its conditions (one of which is
knowledge), it isn't like the person needs to undergo some kind of amazing challenge such as swim across a river or something... from that perspective, become a Muslim is easy, at least in the sense that we can't tell that person 'no we do not believe you, you are a non-muslim', unless we have some good reason to not believe him/her.

Ok JazakAllah khair, I have been thinking upon the matter of the fate of appostates for quite some time.
So, the judgement of giving 3 days for the appostates to return to Islam is not right?

i know this, but i think people often think it is like a magic pill and when they find out that work is required and they have just begun, they jump ship. just a theory about why some people revert and then leave right away. in this case it sounds like the guy just wanted some fame (tho i can't watch videos).
