[November 26, 2024] Rabbi Pinchas Taylor alerts us to a Muslim man who tells two stories contrasting Muslim versus Jewish faith. In these stories, Muslim’s lives were saved by Jews but the Muslims were embarrassed by the fact that their lives are owed to a Jew. See the video here.
I transcribed the presentation as best as possible, given the heavy accent. This Muslim is talking in front of a Jewish audience. That’s all I know about it.
“You see, my father was saved by a Jewish doctor because Arab doctors couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with him until today. I asked my Arab father, why don’t you pray for your Jewish doctor who saved your life? And his answer, simply put, is that I cannot pray for my enemy. But in a Jewish book I learned that I must pray for my enemy and love my enemy exactly as she was saying. That’s why the Jew knows life more than anybody else. That’s why it’s the Jew who will rescue a Muslim and Lebanese regardless of their religion, regardless of their background in the hospitals.”
The presentation by this unnamed Muslim continues into the story as he emphasizes the religious and philosophical differences.
“It was a Jew who saved my cousin Ibrahim Abdullah, who was drowning in the Mediterranean Sea with two other Muslims start to rescue him. They both drowned and died. A Jew comes by and he takes empty gallons from the trunk of his car, swims towards him, and rescues his life. But when I went to congratulate him for his life being rescued, and I mentioned to him that it was a Jew who rescued your life, I was instantly yanked out of the room and told and scorched, don’t you ever mentioned that a Jew rescued his life. He hates the thought of a Jew rescuing his life.”
A crucial question will now be asked that gets to the core differences in Muslim and Jewish religious beliefs.
“The question is why do you still do it? Why do you still recur us even though we want to murder you? Why do you hide your children while we put our children in the front to die so we can make propaganda? Why do we sell our children to the god Moloch in terrorism? Why do we sacrifice our children for such a religion that teaches hate? Why do we do it? Why is there so much evil in today’s world?”
Rabbi Taylor is correct in calling this powerful in describing actual behavior based on core values of Judaism. Jews treasure the idea of adding light to the world. And it matters not who a person is, no matter what the situation is, the ideal thing that we can do is add light.
The Muslim speaker asks, “Why is there so much evil that exists?” Rabbi Taylor says that evil can only exist where there the light does not shine. When we put light in the darkness, evil does not exist. He says, “Why combat the darkness, add the light.”
Add the light. Always try to do the right thing. Aim up to the good, no matter what. That is how individually we can make the world a much better place.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to everyone here.
Turkey Day is here.… 🦃 🦃 🦃 🦃 🦃
POWERFUL PRESENTATION
True, SWEENEY. There is an awakening coming, albeit slowly, in Islam that the religion has spurred death and destruction on the world that is bath abhorrent, unnecessary, and based on the literal reading of the Koran. But the Koran was written by a man, Mohammed. He was a defective prophet and thus wrote ideas that no longer fit properly in this world. This explains why Islamic countries are all stuck in the fifth century. God Bless tgem all and pray they eventually see the light.
Sir, this Muslim speaking in front of a Jewish group must be a brave man and one who has seen much with his own eyes to be able to acknowledge that Islam is not a religion compatible with a secular modern world because it is based on the idea that Islam is first, and everything and everybody else is of a much lower standard. Adherence to Islam means you must take the teachings literally and totally. There is to be zero deviation and no debate. Islam is all. Nothing else matters at all. Christianity, on the other hand, is based on live and faith to a loving God. Big difference.
Thanks, Gen. Satterfield for alerting us to this lecture. Date is unknown, but the point is right. Muslims should take a serious look at what their religion has done for the world and not accept the lies.
This quote from a Muslim tells alot:
“It was a Jew who saved my cousin Ibrahim Abdullah, who was drowning in the Mediterranean Sea with two other Muslims start to rescue him. They both drowned and died. A Jew comes by and he takes empty gallons from the trunk of his car, swims towards him, and rescues his life. But when I went to congratulate him for his life being rescued, and I mentioned to him that it was a Jew who rescued your life, I was instantly yanked out of the room and told and scorched, don’t you ever mentioned that a Jew rescued his life. He hates the thought of a Jew rescuing his life.”
Great story about the true nature of “the religion of peace.” Not! Let us pray that Islam comes to a peaceful reconciliation with itself and its followers. Nothing could be better and then, and only then, will Islam take its rightful place among the religions of the world and be in harmony with others. Islam was created by a military conqueror and thus an ideology most fitting for an expanding war machine. Maybe that is why Islamists always allied with Hitler and Stalin.
Finally, a small number of Muslims who can see with their own eyes what is happening inside Islam. Will Islam reform itself? Let us all hope so. But I am for one who is extremely skeptical of success.
Is a religious war on our horizon?
Great question.
The world is slowly coming to the realization that Islam is NOT a religion of peace but one of conquest.
Jack, many in the “West” are too. I think this awakening might be too little, too late. Over the next few years will tell us whether the recent radicalization of Islam will be its own seed of destruction.
Right! Too many are willing to sleep through this revolution. Time will tell if a war is coming that pits Islam against Western civilization. 🧐
Are we really waking up to both the value of Islam (there are many) vs the destructive nature of Islam (yes, overwhelmingly so). This will happen as secular China also wants to fight them west. The Axis of Evil expands to include Islam.
