While commentators like Gad Saad and Ben Shapiro continue to shape public narratives about Islam, a closer look at their own words reveals a troubling pattern of misinformation, deflection, and outright disrespect toward figures held sacred by billions. This episode of The Deen Show, featuring Dr. Shady Suleiman, dismantles these false claims and shines a light on how Islam stands as the true defender of Jesus, Mary, and all the Prophets of God.
The Gaslighting Strategy: How Ben Shapiro and Gad Saad Deflect From the Truth
Ben Shapiro is on record stating that enemy civilian casualties are “fine by me” — a chilling remark that reveals a deeply troubling worldview. Rather than address the documented suffering of Palestinian civilians, figures like Shapiro and Gad Saad redirect the conversation toward baseless accusations that Muslims inherently hate Jewish people. Dr. Shady explains that this is textbook gaslighting — pushing an extreme narrative so far that it forces everyone to respond to the lie rather than focus on what actually matters. The historical record tells a completely different story:
- When 300,000 Jews were expelled from Spain during the Inquisition, they fled to Muslim lands — Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco — where they were welcomed and protected.
- During World War II, Muslim-majority Albania sheltered every single one of its 5,000 Jewish residents. Not one was handed over to the Nazis.
- Iraqi Jewish historian Naeim Giladi documented that Iraqi Jews refused to emigrate to Israel because they were living peacefully among Muslims.
- Islam permits a Muslim man to marry a Jewish or Christian woman — how can a faith that allows such intimate bonds be accused of commanding hatred?
- Jews continue to live peacefully in Iran, Turkey, Morocco, and Bosnia to this day.
“Every time someone like Gad Saad says ‘they hated us in Lebanon,’ rewind the tape and ask yourself: what was done to them? That is narcissism — the refusal to ever consider that your own side may have contributed to the conflict. In our Islamic culture, we are taught to check ourselves first.” — Dr. Shady Suleiman on The Deen Show
Shocking Disrespect for Jesus and Mary — And Why Islam Defends Their Honor
Perhaps the most disturbing moment exposed in this episode is a clip of a rabbi — in a setting endorsed by figures within this same ideological circle — openly insulting the Virgin Mary with vile language and dismissing Jesus as a false idol. The audience laughed. Two billion Christians follow Jesus, yet here was a religious leader mocking his blessed mother with words so foul that even repeating them is unacceptable. Meanwhile, Ben Shapiro and Gad Saad build alliances with these very voices while attacking Islam — the one faith that actually commands absolute reverence for both Jesus and Mary.
- The Quran dedicates an entire chapter — Surah Maryam — to the Virgin Mary, honoring her as one of the most righteous women in history.
- Every Muslim says “peace be upon him” after mentioning Jesus, recognizing him as the Messiah, a mighty Prophet, and the Word of God.
- Islam defends the honor of all Prophets — including Abraham, Moses, Lot, and Jacob — correcting the distortions found in other texts that attribute sinful acts to these noble messengers.
- The Quran declares that Mary was chosen and purified above all women of the world — a status of honor unmatched in any other scripture.
“You hate the people who actually love Jesus, and then you send money and support to those who say the most evil things about him and his mother. We say peace be upon Jesus. We honor Mary. The Quran corrects every falsehood ever told about them.” — The Deen Show
The Fabricated Alliance: Christian Zionism and the Scofield Deception
Dr. Shady also exposes how modern Christian Zionism was manufactured through the Scofield Reference Bible — a text funded by Zionist interests, written by a convicted con man with no theological training, and mass-produced by Oxford University Press. For 1,800 years, mainstream Christianity had no concept of a “rapture” or a political state of Israel as a religious obligation. These ideas were injected into Protestant churches precisely because Protestantism, unlike Catholicism or Islam, lacks a rigorous chain of scholarly transmission. As Dr. Shady explains, Islam’s unbroken chain of knowledge — from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) through his companions to qualified scholars — protects the faith from such corruption. The Quran remains unchanged, and its message is clear: worship the One God alone, honor every Prophet He sent, and follow the final messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him), which automatically includes honoring Jesus, Moses, and all who came before.
Islam: The Complete and Balanced Way of Truth
- Islam honors every Prophet — from Adam to Muhammad (peace be upon them all) — while other traditions distort their stories.
- The Quran corrects falsehoods — it exists not to attack other faiths but to restore the truth about God’s messengers.
- Faith in Islam is built on evidence and transmission — not on dreams, con artists, or political agendas.
- Islam teaches personal accountability — before blaming others, examine yourself. This is the Quranic way, as demonstrated in the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph).
- The door of Islam is open to everyone — whether you are Christian, Jewish, or of any background, the invitation stands: read the Quran, study the life of Prophet Muhammad, and discover the truth for yourself.
