O’Reilly Interviews Oliver Stone’s Son About His Conversion To Islam, Hanging Out With Ahmadinejad

Video
» 102 comments

On Monday, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly invited Sean Stone — son of fellow filmmaker Oliver Stone — to the show to discuss his recent conversion to Islam… specifically his decision to convert in Iran.

Stone explained that “convert” is an interesting word to use in his case, because he doesn’t believe one is converting when worshiping the same God as before. “I’ve always believed in the same Judeo-Christian God,” he clarified, “and it’s a misunderstanding of Islam to say Allah is a different god.” So he didn’t convert Islam so much as “accepted” a new religion.

He adds that, when speaking to people in Iran (including the country’s highly controversial president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad), he would tell them to, basically, cut it out with “this ‘down with America’ nonsense.”

O’Reilly said he doesn’t have an issue with Stone’s faith or even his time in Iran, but, rather, with his decision to hang out with a political leader who is, in no uncertain terms, an extremist. The host even compared Stone’s visit to taking a trip to Nazi Germany and hanging out with Hitler. Besides, he pointed out, here you are meeting with a man who has denied the Holocaust when your own father is Jewish.

Stone attempted to explain Ahmadinejad’s views regarding Israel and, indeed, the Holocaust, while making sure to add that “there’s no room for Holocaust denial, of course.” But the bigger point, he added, is that dialogue needs to be opened up within the Middle East. (Although, as O’Reilly pointed out, maybe sending, say, former president Jimmy Carter to the region is noooot the best idea.)

“You ok with Iran having a nuclear weapon?” asked O’Reilly, not one to beat around the bush.

“I am,” Stone replied. “Because it’s a republic and there are factions… it’s very much like this country, there’s a lot of unrest inside that country from the economic point of view.”

    I just hope Mr Stone understands what He just did, If He didn’t, 

    Surat An-Nisā’ 4:89  depending on the translation says this:
    They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be
    on the same footing (as they). But take not friends from their ranks until they
    flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades,
    seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no
    friends or helpers from their ranks.

    Sahih InternationalThey wish you would disbelieve as they
    disbelieved so you would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until
    they emigrate for the cause of Allah . But if they turn away, then seize them
    and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or
    helper.

    Islam offers a contemplative, reflectve spirituality which many Christian churches and sects lack. These elements are available as worship alternatives in many RC and Episcopal churches and are very popular.

    Sean Stone hasn’t seized or slayed anyone. There are several nations in this world that are under Islamic rule which we have good relations with. If we hold that verse against Iran, we have to hold it against Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan. There are other Muslim nations as well, but I’m sure you get the idea that holding verses from the Qu’ran against Muslim nations isn’t in our best interest right now.

    Exactly what “Christian Churches” are you talking about? “Contemplative” and “reflective spirituality” have their very roots in the monasticism of the Orthodox and Coptic Churches. The Orthodox Church dates back to pentecost. Islamic spiritualism and philosophy borrow heavily from the writings of St. Augustine, St. John Chrysostom. Islamic architecture and art can thank Constantinople and the Byzantines, and Justinian’s Hagia Sophia.

    Do you have a clue about history prior 15th century? How can your even utter such a thing? Byzantine Greeks bequeathed unto Mohammed the knowledge of monotheism and literacy in general. 

    Please think beyond your Protestant and Roman Catholic bubble circa the Renaissance and the “Enlightenment.”

     “Let there be no compulsion in religion.  Truth has been made
    clear from error.  Whoever rejects false worship and believes in God has
    grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks.  And God hears and
    knows all things.” (Quran 2:256)

    Listen, I’m a Christian but misrepresenting any faith is dangerous. It results in misunderstanding, violence, and war. The passages you quoted were to a specific people during a specific time, much like the Israelites were  instructed to destroy entire cities in the Old Testament. “Let there be no compulsion in religion” is also pretty clear.

    I’m not one of those people that proclaim that every religion is equal and that there are no extremists that we need to protect ourselves from. But to selectively take out passages of the Quran to try to show that all true Muslims want to kill you is incorrect and reinforces an ignorance many Americans have about Islam today.

    The Quran is not the Bible, It is binding on Muslims, There is no new Covenant in the Quran, only The Quran.

    There is no Radical Islam, There is no Reformist Islam, There is no Protestant Islam……There Is Only Islam, and Mohammed is the Prophet and the Qiran is the revealed word through the Prophet.

    And that word was quoted as accurately as the translation allows.

    Kitman/Taqiyya (taqqiya):

    As Muslims are instructed by the eminent Islamic scholar Imam Abu Hammid Ghazali (Al-Ghazali), who is one of the most famous and respected Muslim theologians of all time:

    “Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible.” (The Reliance of the Traveler, sec r8.2, pg 745)

    Give some context. Who is the “they” this verse is referring to that wish the believers in G’d should reject faith as they do? Who is the “they” the believer in G’d is being made aware of not to befriend them from their ranks?

    They answer is in the previous verse that you selectively omitted so you can have spin. G’d doesn’t not guide the person who reads the qur’an with the right understanding who is insincere.

    Here is the context that lets you know who is the “they”.

    4:88 Why should ye be divided into two parties about the Hypocrites? Allah hath upset them for their (evil) deeds. Would ye guide those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way? For those whom Allah hath thrown out of the Way, never shalt thou find the Way. 

    Its the “HYPOCRITES” that’s who the “they” is that the verse is referring to. I am quite sure you wouldn’t want to have much to do with a hypocrite too in your life if you were to ever to be deceived by one. That’s just natural and common sense. Yes, Islam is a natural way of life that agrees with your nature, as long as you are being true to your original nature and are not trying to spin everything for some political agenda.

    You should consider watching more often. He’s often less brusque to new guests than talking heads who come on to spew the talking points of whatever group they are  speaking for.  Most professional talking heads will stay on message no matter what the question is, so to get useful information in a short segment O’Reilly needs to try to push them off the talking points.  A guest who is only speaking for themselves is more likely to say something unique so he’s generally less aggressive with them unless the conversation is moving too slowly or they say something crazy.

    I hope Iran HAS nuclear weapons with which to defend itself if it is attacked by a rabid little nation with no fixed borders or constitution.  Iran is alleged to have purchased tactical nukes from the post Soviet arms bazaars in Ukraine in 92-93.  Whether the plutonium triggers on those weapons have been maintained all this time is another question.

    The untold story is that the Rothschild holdings dominate the nuclear fuel rod market and  they want to preserve their monopoly of that industry.  Iran is getting into the nuclear fuel rod business.  Free enterprise.  Competition.

    In the Bible it has ideas about slaying the enemy. If you are a Protestant Christian you must acknowledge this. Did not Cain slay Abel? Did not David slay Goliath? Now it seems you are following in their footsteps by slaying scriptures (the word of G’d) with your twisting the words out of their contexts. 

    So there you have it, there are many forms or ways to slay something. But of course you already know that because you are operating on a spiritual level and not a physical level?

    We have the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Last or Final Testament. The Qur’an is the Last Testament (using your language). Now there is some symbolisms with these terminologies that will give you a clear perception that these Testaments are not to be seen separate, and their are many others concepts within the Bible itself to demonstrate the coming together of 2 principles working together as one. Since I know you are not a seeker of understanding and you have a fixed mind that speaks only from a narrow framework and view of the Oneness G’d, the Oneness of Creation and the Oneness of Mankind I will not attempt to share with you the many insights I could benefit you with. I will only make one or two points to give you the picture.

    First what the Qur’an says of itself:

    Holy Qur’an
    10:37 This Qur’an is not such as can be produced by other than Allah. on the contrary it is a confirmation of (revelations) that went before it, and a fuller explanation of the Book – wherein there is no doubt – from the Lord of the worlds.

    1) The Qur’an is a continuation of the Torah and the Gospel and of all revealed scriptures that came before it. It comes to confirm the truth in them, and take out what was not true, it comes to give explanation of what went before and to complete what went before.

    2) The Prophet is the one mention or prophesied in both the Torah and Gospel. There are many prophecies in the Old and New Testament pointing to Prophet Muhammed.

    Holy Qur’an
    7:157 ”Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper.”

    3) As for the symbolism in the ter  Bible that gives you a clue to what its really talking about. Bi=2 and Ble=balls (testes), from that we get “testament”. The testes is where the “semen” comes from. As you know they have the “seminaries”. These testicles or testes works together, not separate. You know in the old world in Europe they say I swear by your balls and they were lying they would crush them. This is where we get the Gavel from in the court system that they use to hit on the bench to symbolize this same idea.

    There is much more I can elaborate on to make connections in the language but I know you can’t appreciate it because you are not guided by the spirit of G’d in your comments. I will let you chew on that for awhile. I am not talking about chewing literally with your teeth but with your intellect. I have to say that because you are a literalist when you read scripture.

    The issue is Sean Stone. From the interview it is obvious that Sean Stone is either an attention seeking rich kid or he has some serious mental problems. I’m leaning towards the mental problems. Calling President Tom “misunderstood” is ridiculous and only someone with a serious mental deficiency could try and claim that. To further go on and state that he is fine with Iran having nukes just solidifies that fact.

    I wouldn’t be a bit surprised that we hear about this kid winding up dead in pretty short order because of his issues getting him in over his head!

    Islam was spread by Mohammed by the Sword from the first, Mohamed divided the World into two houses, Islam;

    Similar to Taqqiya but rather than outright dissimulation, it consists in telling only a part of the truth, with ―mental reservation‖justifying the omission of the rest.

    Taqiyya (taqqiya)
    Lying for Islam. Many wrongly claim it is only practiced within Shia Islam. There are in fact several verses in the Qur’an which condone lying and deception, and classical and contemporary Sunni scholars have validated its place within main-stream Islam.

    Jihad
    Jihad literally means ‘to strive’ or ‘to exert to the utmost.’ In islamic parlance it signifies all forms of striving, including armed struggle, aimed at making the Word of Allah prevail.

    Makr
    Signifies a secret strategy of which the victim has no inkling until the decisive blow is struck. Until then, the victim is under the illusion that everything is in good order. See Qur’an, Aali-Imran (3:54).

    Yes, Islam is a compilation of Torah/Tanakh, the New Testament, Zoroastrianism, Hindu Vedas, With Mohammed replacing Jesus, Moses, Zarathustra, and Veda Vyasa, as the center of focus as the prophet of Islam;

    Regarding the Torah this plagiarism is especially troubling as al Qu’ran takes most of the stories ascribed as occurring between Abraham and Isaac and replaces Isaac with Ishmael, thus undercutting the foundation of both Judaism and Christianity.

    Mohammed change the story of Abraham offering of Isaac to Abraham offering Ishmael in sacrifice etc and in so doing Muhammad replace/stole the sacred literature of one people (the Jews and Christians) as his own.

    Muhammad Based on this plagiarism, command Muslims to kill the Jews and Christians who refuse to accept plagiarised Islam.

    In no other religion has this ever done, Christians use and accept the Hebrew scriptures but do not plagiarize nor alter them.

    Yeah, I’m playing semantics while you’re basing the technicalities of a definition for your argument.

    Cry baby whining about context.  You quote qur’an out of context without a second thought and now you want someone to quote bible in context. Practice what you are crying about. That’s what I mean you are not guided by the spirit of G’d in your comments. G’d knows the truth and if He was guiding you He will not allow your spirit to spew out the vile things you say about Qur’an and Muhammed that any descent, honest and G’d conscious person knows its not true.

    You can’t preach what you believe in and let it stand up on its own merit. Because you are not standing upon anything sound and righteous. So you resort to attacking others beliefs as if you are an authority on their beliefs hoping it will make your beliefs look correct. What a poor, sad, pitiful, despicable and unhappy creature you are. You are a poor excuse for someone who says they believe in G’d.

    Muhammed taught that G’d is Good and that G’d only accepts what is Good. Your methods and approach are not good and they are not designed to bring understanding to the mind and unity among the servants of G’d upon this earth wherever they are and whatever label they goes by. Therefore, G’d does not accept your dogmatism and demagoguery. It is the satan that seeks to separate things from their source and to divide. Its obvious you have taken on the strategy of the satan.

    Lastly, our Prophet taught that there is a piece of flesh in the body if it is good the whole body is good and if it is bad the whole body is bad; he said that piece of flesh is the HEART.

    Check out your Heart because is very tainted with corruption. You have a selfish self-interest. You don’t have a healthy self-interest.

    The Bible has been the main tool of war. Let any historian study history and study the Bible and you will see that the main instrument of war, the major tool of war has been the Bible.

    Revelation 19:11And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

    Jesus of the Bible:

    Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

    Luke 12:51
    Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

    Luke 22:36 He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    Can you see yourself? You are not about peace and you are not about unity. You take up the sword. Your tongue is your sword and all you are doing is using your tongue to cut up and divide what should be together.

    Muhammed predicted that there is coming a day when Christ Jesus and himself will be seen together as ONE.

    Again, cherry picked quotes out of the Scriptures do not prove a thing, With out the context of that those passages are set in.

    And again, Muhammed was a plagiarist.

    Now lets take one of Your Quote of Luke 22 in context:

    14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.

    15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

    16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
    ……………

    ……35 And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

    36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

    37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end.

    38 And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.

    Now the first thing Jesus is telling the Disciples that He is not going to be with them much longer and they will need to care for themselves, That is clearly seen through out the Passover feast, Second, Jesus was to be arrested, to fulfill the scriptures and charged as a transgressor, so the Scriptures could be fulfilled.

    Defend themselves, on the road, not to wage a war of conversion.

    Again cherry picking, and Revelations is about the end times, The return of Jesus, and the events that will happen in the future at the end of the world.

    The Quran was a justification for Mohammed to wage War, first against His personal enemies in Mecca, Then to spread Islam across Arabia.

    Jesus in the New Testament never gave leave to the Church to spread by the Sword, For all Your cherry picking, You cannot show a direct quote of Jesus giving permission to do so, or even a indrect quote.

    Non Sequitur, And? Your proof? Repeating yourself, again a sign of the fact that You cannot debate in context, The Context of Revelations is End Times, The Armageddon, Future events, not Past History.
