Hi Jordan! I am from Baghdad/Iraq and I would like to tell you that Sunni and Shiites live together in Iraq peacefully, some of our families contain a Sunni mother and a Shiite father or vice versa. Some of my best, lifelong friends are Christians and I walked by a church the last month and saw a priest saying goodbye to a smiling family leaving the church. Rest assured that the majority of Muslim people are peaceful and loving, but the actions of some bigoted minority sometimes, unfortunately, leave a stronger impression.

you are a subject matter expert and you have been an inspiration to me and to countless others. I listen to you very carefully and I am proud of you and all the hard work that you do. I am only asking that you do not stretch yourself too thin. some topics such as islam and the muslim world which I have experienced personally (I grew up in a muslim country as a christian) are simply too complex. please tread carefully. Suni's do not hate shia's, islam does not hate jews or christians. I'm afraid that you might be falling victim to the same media that you are fighting against. there are a few radical, fanatic, extremist muslims who I've encountered personally, just like any other group. don't get trapped.

As a Muslim myself, the most ignorant thing I've seen any of us do is to stop thinking for ourselves with the excuse that thinking will turn into a lack of faith and then you are doomed.

Lesson learned. Never advice or criticize a faith group based on what you have heard, without reading their scripture and history

[michalcyrek]

I’m a Christian, at one time I often traveled to Turkey where my company had offices. I talked with my Muslim co-workers about faith. I realized that the wedge between us is fake. Various leaders weaponize religion for their own gains. We have more in common than we think. Even if we never overcome our differences the simple fact that we have bigger more dangerous enemies should be uniting.

Messages to Christian’s and Muslims but no criticism for ✡️?? Interesting as a long time follower. I really didn’t think you NEEDED dailywire but perhaps I was mistaken.

“I’m afraid that you might be falling victim to the same media that you are fighting against”. Perfectly said by Hans Stechi ❤👌🏻🤝

[scytaleghola]

Speaking as a Christian I can say this message applies equally to Christians. Before you call your neighbor evil because you do not agree with their ideology, seek out and root out any evil that lies within. Let he who is without evil cast the first stone. Love God. Love your neighbor. No exceptions.

Started reading the Quran recently, it is blowing my mind with timeless articulate inspiration on every page so far. If a book is inspiring almost 2 billion people over 1000 years since it was first written, it would be arrogant to assume that oneself is somehow beyond its relevance before even reading, as I was arrogant during my atheistic past of assuming that I could figure everything out based on my own limited intuition.

After Jordan's battle with health issues he's not just back to full strength, he's coming out swinging, more focused and bold than ever. Absolutely love this man. Dr Peterson, I first discovered you right before my father passed away (lost my mother when I was thirteen) and you gave me the strength to handle everything alone, then write and read a lengthy heartfelt eulogy at the graveside to his friends and family. You helped me through the hardest time of my life and I remain forever grateful. After all the people you've helped and continue to help, you exemplify what it means to live a meaningful life. Sending love and support, always 🫂

Someone once said”As an outsider you have no idea of how much you don’t know about what you don’t know, even you are blind to your own ignorance, ” I think the glove fits here Dr. Peterson.

As a Muslim who respects Dr.Peterson and has followed him for quite some time,
My 3 issues with this video:
1-This message could easily apply to Jews and Christians aswell, did Jordan ever make a message directed to Jews or Christians telling them to stop seeing Muslims as enemies?I don't think so.
2-There is anti-Jewish sentiment in the Muslim community, but the majority of Muslims don't even see Christians as their enemies, so I don't see why Jordan was speaking as if there was a significant anti-Christian sentiment in the Muslim community.
3-As for the Jewish point:imagine if a man made a YouTube video in 2022 encouraging Ukrainians to seek peace with Russians as if it's a simple task, the response to said video would be outrageous since it would be ignoring the complexity of the situation between Russians and Ukrainians and ignoring that there's a war between them. The same could be said to Jordan encouraging Muslims to stop vilifying Jews. Firstly, Muslims have trouble with Israel and Zionism more than they do have trouble with Jews and Judaism as a religion. Secondly, like my Ukrainian example, the issue of "Jews and Muslims" is very complex and there's a war going on in Palestine, so telling muslims to seek peace with the "Jews" or Israelis in such a situation would be ignoring the complexity of the situation and treating it as if it's some playground squabble that could be solved simply and easily. And ofcourse Jordan used the term "Jews" rather than "Zionists" or "Israelis" even though the latter would've been more correct to use, this word choice is dishonest and doesn't tell the whole story.

That's all.

As a Muslim I can assure you that all those you mentioned and pointing your message to are and have been living together peacefully for centuries. It's the politicians who cause divisions and fights among us...

[alibeypirnazarli]

His message in one sentence: "You should understand the importance of being an individual (rather than being just a member of a group) who can realize what is right and what is not."

[kamaltohme]

This video is proof that even the most intellectual and educated people like Jordan Peterson can share wrong info or misguide people.
I just wanted to say, as a Lebanese muslim, that despite all the differences between Sunni and Shia ideologies, we live with each others in peace. All the problems/wars happening in the muslim world are purely political, and they shove religions in the conflicts to sustain the same amount of violence.
As a sunni, i have tons of shia and christian friends, and i dont have jewish friends because simply there are none in my country.
And I believe that you know very well that muslims in general have a problem with Zionists, and not jews.
You just chose to share certain info in a certain way to support a certain political group, and this is very predictable.
Finally, and in conclusion, you're 100% wrong.

As a muslim I respect Dr Jordan Peterson alot but in this video I'm sure he didn't do his study and research well . As muslims we can agree with Dr Jordan Peterson that the Quran it is mentioned that we muslims should respect the people of the book ( jews and Christians ) but it's mentioned in the Quran chapter 60 : verse 8 " God does not deprive you of those who did not fight you in religion and did not deprive you from your home " and what did the jewish settlers do to the Palestinians ? Between 1920 and 1939 the Balfour declaration promised to facilitate Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and the jewish population focused on purchasing lands from the arab owners so by controlling both the land and the labor that gave them the opportunity to occupy Palestine and over Palestinians fled from their homes and became refugees in neighbouring arab countries and they became stateless . Now here's an honest question. How do you want us to make peace with those who fought us, kicked us out from our homeland, and declared war on us ? Palestinians are living under isreali military occupation and the Israelis treat the Palestinians as they are sub humans in their own land . Just last year ago when the battle started between the Palestinians and the Isreali government, there were Zionist mobs marching through the streets of Jerusalem chanting " Death to Arabs " and smashing in Palestinians own stores with protection of Isreali police . And they were kicking Palestinians out from their homes in sheikh Jarrah east Jerusalem to make way for Jewish settlers . And yet people say that God promised them this land and the they have the right to live there . How do you think Isreal was built ? Do you think that millions of Palestinians decided to leave their homes behind burn down their own villages for no reason ? Isreali forces are bombing and shooting people praying inside Al Aqsa mosque and airstrikes are hitting the Gaza strip and what are the Palestinians supposed to do ? Their homes are being destroyed, their places of worship are being bombed and their families are being killed . Are you expecting from them to remain quiet and to sit back and accept it ? Some jews claim that it was their land so if history is to be taken to throw people out from their homes then why doesn't the US give back the land to the native Americans ( the red Indians ) . Don't you feel like as if Palestinians are still living under colonialism ? As muslims we have no problem with the jews at all . The Quran doesn't say that the Jews and the muslims should fight, it says that the strongest enemies to the muslims are the jews and this is actually a fact and it proves the Quran is right and the proof for that is easy . Just let the jews get together and decide to stop the war on the Palestinians and to give the stolen land back to them . Will they do it ? We are not anti-Jewish, we are anit-Zionists. We don't want war, we want justice . We are not fascists, Nazists nor racists . The Palestinians were uprooted from their homes by " God's promise " and when you call us anti-semitic infact the Palestinians are semites because arabic is a semitic language . So our problem is with the Zionists because zionism is a political movement not a religious movement and history proves that muslims Christians and jews were coexisting and they were living in peace when the Islamic warrior Salah El Din Al Ayubi conquered the crusaders and took control of Jerusalem he entered into an agreement that muslims should protect synagogues and Churches .

[dr.mohanadal-talib]

As a muslim, majority of us dont hate anyone based on their religion, yet only on their hate action toward us Muslims . Also As a Muslim i respect you regardless of your religious beliefs, because i see you to be a man of God, a free thinker, & a non hypocrite & an overall a good human being

[aliwarsame]

With all due respect, Dr. Peterson, you once said that you are "ignorant about Islam". Has there been any change to convey this message to your Muslim audience?
