Video: The Koran challenge
posted at 8:04 pm on February 19, 2009 by Allahpundit
Yes, it’s the Canadian ‘Zo, a.k.a. Steven Crowder, begging for a fatwa. Bravery like this deserves to be rewarded, but I’m compelled to note that merely quoting the Koran won’t save you from expulsion from YouTube. As atheist Nick Gisburne learned the hard way, it’s hate speech on YT even to regurgitate Islamic scripture. Bow your head, infidel.

Tasteless but dead on true.

“The volcanic rock overlords…I think”
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6….Jackpot!”
“According to modern law, they’d have to be jailed.”
Ha! This guy’s great.

Deadly accuracy about a cartoonish religion.
Koranic kudos, dude!

BobMbx on February 19, 2009 at 8:10 PM
He is so dead.
But damn good stuff. He owes me a new monitor.
wccawa on February 19, 2009 at 8:10 PM
I am sure Steven and Christopher Hitchens will be able to exchange stories quite shortly.
WashJeff on February 19, 2009 at 8:11 PM
Funny guy. I’ll miss him once the Religion of Islam or the Human Rights Committee get their hands of him.
ignorantapathy on February 19, 2009 at 8:12 PM
This will not end well!
No reason not to do it though. Seems well put together, all solid points we’ve heard before I think?
VeniVidiVidic on February 19, 2009 at 8:13 PM
so over the top I believe he will get away with it.
rob verdi on February 19, 2009 at 8:13 PM
He was fun to watch for sure. Will miss him a bit when he is gone.
I give it about 2 weeks before he is charged or killed. Sooner than that before he is removed from LoveIslamOnlyTube.
Voidseeker on February 19, 2009 at 8:14 PM
Give this guy a TV show! Oh… and LOTS of body guards.
hburns on February 19, 2009 at 8:14 PM
I hope he doesn’t plan on going to Britain ever.
Vegi on February 19, 2009 at 8:14 PM

Old Hippie Vet on February 19, 2009 at 8:15 PM
This guy is 872 kinds of awesome, with some very ballsy dipping sauce on the side.
MadisonConservative on February 19, 2009 at 8:15 PM
Get that guy a lot of Kevlar.
laelaps on February 19, 2009 at 8:15 PM
That was great.
Cindy Munford on February 19, 2009 at 8:15 PM
You know what Islam needs?
Their own Al Sharpton.
That would put an end to stuff like this. And fast.
Changucopia on February 19, 2009 at 8:16 PM
So when will we get only periodic recordings from a cave somehwhere in Montana? I am going to miss him. We should start chipping in for flowers now.
cobrakai99 on February 19, 2009 at 8:19 PM
Damn..Him and Zo need to get together… But, yeah, he’s on a bunch of lists in Canada and England (and the US too, I’m sure) now. I’m pleasantly surprised to see this video is even still up.
AUINSC on February 19, 2009 at 8:19 PM
The last 3 seconds was too funny. I laughed so hard. All my coworkers turned around and looked at me.
Greed on February 19, 2009 at 8:19 PM
I hope he’s staying at an undisclosed location…
not that there’s any reason for me to express such a hope; Theo van Gogh’s murder was an aberration …. wasn’t it?
cruadin on February 19, 2009 at 8:20 PM
My impression of Islam? HULLULULULULULUULLULLULULULULU…BOOM!
ronsfi on February 19, 2009 at 8:20 PM
We better pray for this guy! Very brave. Very brave indeed.
libertylady on February 19, 2009 at 8:20 PM
That’s true. He better be careful.
Father Zakaria Botros quotes the Koran all the time and he’s been named Islam’s “Public Enemy #1” by the Arabic newspaper, al-Insan al-Jadid.
Jihad Watch also features him in posts.

Anyone know how to save videos from YouTube? Wouldn’t mind archiving this.

Over/Under on this video getting pulled? I give it 8 days.
Rusty Shackleford on February 19, 2009 at 8:23 PM
Loved it.
Mommypundit on February 19, 2009 at 8:24 PM
Yeah… I kind of miss this guy in advance already myself. Hopefully he’ll have the chance to post one or two more videos before getting the Canadian Theo Van Gogh treatment….
OC Sandman on February 19, 2009 at 8:24 PM
Real player will llet you do it. I already have as it is not going to be there very long…..

Way to go Crowder!
Give him credit. He walks the walk and he’s got more courage than all our media and politicians put together. Have to admit he’s got more courage than I do too.
Went to a sensitivity training class last year called “Understanding Islam.” The guy who spoke was the attorney who represents the Fort Dix Six and was also instrumental in the push for foot baths/prayer rooms around NJ, including at Giants Stadium. I challenged him, politely, on a number of assertions, but he persisted in trying to make me look like a fool. Told him I had read the Qur’an twice (once with Spencer) but of course the problem was that I read an English translation, so it was not accurate.
The saddest part? The glares I received from my classmates—dhimmis one and all.
IrishEi on February 19, 2009 at 8:27 PM
That was dead-on perfect…
Hopefully, that will not be more true than it already is in the near future.
Great commentary. Brilliant.

I laughed out loud at the 3 Stooges bit.

pcbedamned on February 19, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Firefox has a good add-on that I use called “Flash Video Resources Downloader” Works great and will save file as either a .FLV or .MP4 if available. Same with High Quality or Normal, if made available on YouTube by submitter.
Mx3LL on February 19, 2009 at 8:31 PM
Yes. Firefox has an add-on called “DownloadHelper” that’s perfect for this. You’ll also need a video player capable of handling .flv files. One such player is called VLC and you can get it from videolan.org.
Dave Shay on February 19, 2009 at 8:32 PM
ISLAM – Function: noun
Etymology: Arabic islAm – submission/surrender (to the will of ALLAH)
And there you have it; it’s just that simple.
You are a slave to the will of Allah.
And Islam is Totalitarian to the nth degree.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Pole-Cat on February 19, 2009 at 8:32 PM
As good for anti-jihadism as the 1984 commerical was for anti-Hillaryism. Better, even.

Where has this guy been? We’ve need him for a long time!!

Love this guy! Muslims want to kill you if you screw up their pizza order, needless to say he is in deep trouble. He can come to the states we’ll give him shelter until his Fatwa expires in like um….40 years. Man those people hold a grudge and they can’t laugh at themselves.
I wish You Tube would “man up” and keep this video. FAT CHANCE!

BobMbx on February 19, 2009 at 8:45 PM
The first thing many people think is the guy will have to watch out for Muslims bent on killing him. Violence protects Islam.
He will also have to watch out for western Governments taking him to court for exposing what the Koran says and call it hate speech.

All true too.
Mercy4Me on February 19, 2009 at 8:54 PM
Great stuff. We need more brave parodies like this to expose this ridiculous but extremely dangerous cult for people who are too lazy to find out about it themselves – like by reading the Koran itself and Robert Spenser’s books.
He could have also mentioned that Muhammad was brutal on female poets: he had several of them assassinated for criticizing him. This alone, one would think, should be a big tip off on his true character: how many prophets of old went about assassinating their critics – or killing so many people and spreading the loot? This was no love your neighbor guy.

Hey wow. That’s kind of like learning to speak Aramaic. It’s so awesome that you know a dead language. Was your minor in Pascal? COBOL? Or are you still struggling in BASIC?

I have reservations about talking too much about Mohammed’s molesting young girls. The reason Islam is dangerous isn’t because Mohammed was a pervert. It’s because Mohammed fought wars like Hitler or Stalin would. Mohammed would loot, slaughter the innocent, and enslave. And devout Muslims today would like to do the same to us.

Hopefully he’s not in the NT City area. I understand other parts of New York are pretty sane when it comes to respecting 2nd Amendment Rights but once you get in the cities then check your sanity (and your Rights) at the city limits.

The Japanese used the same tactics. Worked real well for them.
Hitler: Dead by his own hand…the Thousand Year Reich lasted all of, being generous here, 5-6 years?
Islam’s claim to fame was based on the failure of Roman Empire. They merely filled the vacuum left behind when Rome fell. It could have been anyone. I call it luck. DOn’t forget, once the non-muslim world got back on it’s feet, they kicked the crap out the Jihadis, pushed them back to the sandbox where they are now.
They are way too eager to die. This is why they lose.

Do not misled people if you are human.
