In this video, a Lebanese Jewish convert to atheism Gad Saad speaks with Hamed Abdel-Samad, who is an Egyptian ex-Muslim anti-Islamization activist.  They discus a variety of issues including how Abdel-Samad has had a fatwa put on him due to his effectiveness in communicating issues about Islam to Muslims in their native language; how he was in the Muslim Brotherhood when he was younger and what put him off of it; and why his being a “Hafez” (meaning someone who has memorized the entire Quran) makes Western Islam apologists loathe him because they cannot get away with accusing him of not knowing the “context” of what he is talking about.

See Abdel-Samad’s books on Amazon.com.

Also see a video of Abdel-Samad debating Islam on a German television show.

[Editor’s note: Abdel-Samad makes a lot of great points, however I disagree with his statements about the reasons why Western politicians such as Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and George Bush are so publicly supportive of Islam while also concealing its problems.  He says that he thinks the reason for them doing so is the business interests that the West has in the Middle East, but he does not address the role of the political Establishment in covertly controlling Islam behind the scenes or what their ultimate agendas are.]
