The Quran and the Bible

The Living Force
Two YouTube pranksters known as Dit is Normaal decided to spend an interesting social experiment: They wrapped the Bible and the Quran to cover parts then read passers, recording their reactions.
Their reactions in the video .. In the end most of them admitted that they were more susceptible to bias than expected.

Indeed. :) Their surprised responses were at least a little more humble and logical than some of those from Mark Dice's videos (America) - he does stuff like having them sign up for stuff before they've even read what they're signing up for or he asks them to find whichever country they're bombing on a map (something like).

I'd hesitate to say it may be due to a slightly better standard of living, geographic location, education (ha!) system, added: and the extent of propaganda they're exposed to. And for some the exercise may have proved quite the lesson. But yeah, it also exposes how people go into mechanical mode, especially when a camera is pointed at them, and how quick they are to be so sure of incidences that 'prove' their conclusions/prejudices, ie. confirmation bias.
 
Hi casper. Nice prank. Thanks for sharing.

It's on NL-Times now too: _http://www.nltimes.nl/2015/12/07/video-dutch-stunned-violent-quran-texts-are-actually-bible-passages/

The video was posted on the crew’s YouTube channel, Dit Is Normaal, on Friday. The video was already watched 2.5 million times on YouTube and another 375 thousand times on Facebook.

Seems they hit a nerve somehow... ;)
 
They were all saying the same thing in the same way we are taught to say them/think about them, as if they were all parrots repeating what they hear on the mainstream media and social discourse. Parrots.
 
SOTT now carries the RT-version of this story:

That was very well done. :) The people responding took it well, too.
 
That was very well done indeed, they could have also picked some of the more spiritual verses from the Quran and people probably would have thought they came from the Bible.
 
This was great, and perhaps if more Christians knew the Bible for what it is, and were open about it, they might end up doing the ideas behind Christianity a favour.
 
Good find casper, really enjoyed watching this. Would be interesting to repeat this in different cities and/or suburbs to see of there are any differences in responses. The media sure has done a great job of brainwashing people :O

I was hoping to see some of that in the video too.
I came to read Koran about 15 years ago. I came to it clean of prejudice because no one had ever told me what was in it. My reaction to reading it was one of anger that it had not been included in my religious education. Same response from my sister. Anyway, I taught my kids about it.
Now there is some sadness that people won't look at it for themselves because they already know what it in it (pure evil!).

FYI, there is quite a bit in there in the way of prophesy concerning a certain day to come when every built thing will crumble and mountains will be shaken down to their foundations. Hmmm.

Thanks for Posting this video experiment, Casper.

I watched the video, the day it was Posted and it reminded me of something - I have been observing in the Syrian crises.

If you do any study of Religions, especially the Middle Eastern Customs, you are bound to come across the words Allahu Akbar meaning God or Allah is Great and is the opening declaration of every Islamic prayer. It's a phase of reverence and devotion. Much like the Catholic phase, "Blessed be God".

In the Syrian crises, the words and sacred meaning of "Allahu Akbar" has been demonized to reflect barbaric slaughter and beheadings, in the name of ISIS. Totally - opposite of it's true meaning. Unfortunately, the Western Media are promoting the "ISIS version".

Just like the video of the Quran and the Bible, this next short video, shows the blending of "belief's" in a harmonic way. It's a beautiful rendition of Ave Maria and Allahu Akbar.

It's an inspired arrangement of an Ave Maria accompanied by the Adhan "Allah Akbar". An idea of Tania Kassis at the occasion of the designation of March 25 (Annonciation Day) as National Islamo-Christian Holiday in Lebanon.


Controversy Erupts as Students Sing ‘Allahu Akbar’ During Public School Concert

December 18, 2015 - Controversy erupted over one of the songs students performed during a Minnesota public high school’s Thursday night holiday concert, “Eid un Sa’Eid – Zain Bhikha.” This Ramadan-inspired song included the phrase “Allahu Akbar,” Arabic for “God is Great,” Minnesota CBS affiliate WCCO 4 reported.

Christian and Jewish songs were reportedly performed by the Blaine High School chorale as was the Arabic song commemorating Ramadan, the Muslim holiday, which took place in June. It was slated to be sung during the audience participation portion of the concert, according to the Anoka-Hennepin School District in Blaine, Minnesota.
