Mike Tyson On Religion And Conflict | Mufti Abu Layth

I was watching this interview of Mike Tyson. And and he says in it I was I was really surprised actually because of his by his transparency and honesty. And he says he says look I never really believed in religion. And he says I only used religion because it helped me. I remember that.

And and he says I never believed in it and until of late. So now he does believe in in God and everything but he says before I never really believed. And he says religion he says religion has too much conflict in it. He says every religion has too much conflict in it for me.

And you see that is interesting because here is a person you're getting a perspective of how it seems to the outsider. Religion just seems too full of conflict. If you weren't a Muslim today, if you were born a non-Muslim in in the Western country and even if you grew up to to to kind of respect other faiths or you're a very respectful person, you you can even appreciate that Islam has many great values to it and let's say you even think that the Prophet Muhammad was a great human being.

Now you probably still would be very reluctant to accept Islam because Islam would appear too full of conflict. It would appear that why would I want to be a part of that? Like you you'd think like I can appreciate it from a distance. I don't need to be a part of it because it's there's too much fighting too much hatred. You know, people once you get into it, it's all sectarianism and it's all it's surprising, you know.
