As an Eastern Orthodox Christian I find these videos to be very helpful for me as I seek to understand the Islamic Tradition. Thank you👍

I have learnt so much from Khan Academy. The advice is to stop being emotional, prejudiced, and learn to appreciate his work. I am just happy to learn so much about the world from him. The good part is, he even teaches how to learn, asks you to probe, compare and be critical/questioning

[Ali-dxje]

I have to say that this series was put together very well and extremely non biased.

Some of the comments on previous videos claimed that this was a proselytization attempt by Sal but it's very obvious that it's simply educational content based around historical events.

In today's society, its more crucial than ever to educate the people on what Islam is and to discourage blindly following the media.

Good work, Sal.

[Ali-jkcu]

I’m Muslim and I’m familiar with most of the things he’s mentioning but it’s still fascinating because of the way khan teaches I still watched!

[TheTruth-fully]

All I can say is fantastic job. I wish that you were my History teacher.

Nice work, very unbiased. Islam is a peaceful religion. Those surahs you quoted in regards to killing is clearly in the context of selfdefence against an enemy who is persecuting you and killing you. Even then when the Muslims conquered Makkah finally they did not kill the non muslims like the crusaders did. The only reasons why Islam spread so fast and is spreading today is because if you really follow the teachings you will find happiness and success. Just look at the economic teachings of the Quran, it would solve a lot of problems! Just curious if you are a Muslim yourself or believe in god? Thanks

[eliasali]

for all the Muslims visiting this comment section..
Don't reply to hateful people..
because hate comes from ignorance.. and you can't have a proper conversation with an ignorant person.

[nilch]

very good summary for my history class, thanks!

[ibrahimmohammedibrahim]

As muslim i appreciate the unbiased viewpoint 👍

[TheSarwaralam]

Even during the life of prophet Muhammad nobody was forced to convert to Islam. All convert volunteerily.

[margahe]

I'm so impressed! India was wone for Islam mainly bei merchants. The even more astonishing fact is, that it costed only about 800 million Indian lifes. What would have been the toll, if the Muslims would have come as conquerors?

[wavyavy]

As someone who is open minded and impartial. Yes, I think - a holistic approach, evaluating the situation (context) in which the verse was said is important.

Islam is a peaceful religion. That’s what I believe.

[ahmadmukhtarmirza]

Whenever you utter the name of "Muhammad" must say May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him. If you are Muslim.

[duckbizniz]

Greatly appreciate Khan Academy for presenting Islamic traditions and ideas. As we have seen and heard from the other two monotheistic traditions, Judaism and Christianity, there are peaceful and violent interpretation of the holy books. The interpretation of holy scriptures are dependent upon the whims of humans. As humans we all have our own interests, and the teachings of God or Prophets are used to achieve the goals of ordinary human beings. Rightly or wrongly violence, destruction, and oppression have long been the tools of people with authority. Even the scriptures of compassionate religions have been used to justify atrocities in name of God.
