For Muslims and Non-Muslims, Islam Is the Ultimate Tyranny
Because of decades of propaganda by Islamapologists, it is now a reality that the very first problem with any discussion of Islam is that many people believe that no one is ever supposed to criticize it. In the West, one is immediately called an anti-Muslim bigot, hater, racist, and Islamophobe. In Islamic countries, one’s fate is much worse, with death as a common outcome. Thus, we have to establish why it is acceptable to criticize Islam.
The primary reason is simple. It is valid to criticize anyone and anything because every person has the sacred, inviolable rights of free speech, freedom of thought, freedom of religion, and many other rights that stem from those central concepts. If anyone says that you cannot criticize a person or a topic, then you must vigorously correct that person, for that way lies totalitarianism.

Version 2 w/ 3 min summary. Crowdfunding for the Love, Freedom, and the World Project
This is Version 2 of the Love, Freedom, and the World Project Crowdfunding Project.
It has a 3 minute summary at the front, followed by more details.
The Love, Freedom, and the World Project focuses on the themes of love, beauty, joy, and freedom, centered on the omnipresence of the God of love. Its name is based on the central truth that a world of freedom requires the growth of love and God-centered ethics and values.
In a speech I gave in 2021, called "In Defense of Love and Freedom," I offered this premise:
"Love is the reason and justification for freedom. Love gives birth to freedom, and 'the Death of Love' destroys freedom. At the same time, freedom is the garden in which love can blossom."
Thus, the Love, Freedom, and the World project focuses on the internal source of freedom, not just the external attributes of freedom. With that guideline, I've produced over fifty videos during the last few years, more or less evenly divided between the themes of love, beauty, and joy on the one hand, and freedom on the other. Another way to describe them is that some are focused on spirituality, mysticism, and ethics, while others focus on freedom-oriented topics which inevitably touch on political issues and the destructive effects of totalitarianism.
I'm starting this crowdfunding effort so that I can do this mission / project full time. As we all may feel, the world is on a knife edge, with many people starving for love and with freedoms of all types under threat. I'm looking for Patrons, both large and small.

Is There a God and What is God Like? ~ Exploring the evidence of love
Is it non-intellectual and foolish to believe that God exists?
Is there any evidence in the world around us that will demonstrate that God exists and also show us what God is like?
