What you will not find on this list is videos of people converting to Islam, I have no interest in it, it is an individual’s choice to become a Muslim, Islam is not going to become greater because of their conversion, even if Tony Blair becomes a Muslim, Islam would remain the same.

Islam remains great  because of the values it offers, most Muslims get it, a few don’t. We cannot judge a people, or a religion based on how people represent it. Finding the truth is our own responsibility. 

I am not interested in glorifying Islam either and for what end? But interested in how others see Islam, not to appease, but to share the Universality of its message, and essence of it. I was an atheist for nearly 30 years before I rejoined Islam after studying it critically. My faith is strong and Muhammad (pbuh) is my mentor and welcome any criticism of Islam cheerfully, and do my best to share what I know and it is nothing but Universality, pluralism and building cohesive societies where no human has to live in fear of the other. That is the purpose of every religion, to make a better human to enjoy his own life and let others enjoy theirs.

Claiming or hinting superiority is sheer arrogance, the root cause of all conflicts,  and arrogance goes against the essence of every religion. As a Muslim, I value humility  Indeed, an arrogance person is not God’s favorite, but a humble one is and the one who forgives.   So, I have declared years ago, that my religion is not superior or inferior to any, it stands on its own. There is a full discourse on the topic if any one is seriously interested. 

Two of the five things  that were a catalyst in me becoming a Muslim are; a Verse from Bhagvad Gita, that finding the truth is your own responsibility and Karen Armstrong’s book Muhammad, and I got to know the prophet as a human I can relate with.

Of course, there are many videos, but these videos do not sell Islam, they just share what it is, and it is up to you to see the value in it.
