I have explained it. Hashem said to Avraham in B'reishit (Genesis) "I will make you a light unto nations". I take it as an inspiration. Nobody uses it the way you have used it. Not even your friends, I should think.

Gentiles means non-Jews. In fact the word is goyim, which is the word for nations as in "Or L'Goyim", "light unto nations". I do not know where you have been called inferior but it is not the Jewish belief. It goes without saying that if you follow a contradictory different set of values then we will believe ours superior, but that is not a claim of innate superiority. Maybe you are friendly with very immature Jews who hate their parents and put it to you like this. Goyim are not inferior.

The administrator of torah.org said "jews were light unto the nations" on one of the threads. He said god and some non-jews called them that.

I'm not addressing the Talmud quotations. As you know there are many volumes full of debates. If you want to understand how it works that's another conversation that I once had with Ibrahim on the old forums and he wasn't buying my explanations. For now, whether you buy it or not, that isn't the Jewish view on gentiles.

Fair point if it is true, although on first glance it doesn't look it. I shall check it out. (Although saying that I wonder how much care you take to address Muslim antisemitic sites. You did link that not charming essay.)

zara,
Goy means nation but also non-Jews. Please read what I have just said and said higher up the thread. If you want depth on the matter call your local rabbi and you will find he condemns the views TEX is referencing. Guaranteed.

You can and that is proof. You might say, "Rabbi, I am a Muslim who has heard the following about Jewish beliefs and I am wondering if you can shed some light on it. Please." Otherwise you can take my word for it over TEX's.

It was really good of Sister Jameela to take part in the live show. She made an important contribution and it was nice to hear a female voice. I commend her for the work she does, I think she is an asset to the community she works in.
Overall, good show, you covered everything, ie causes, signs of misuse, solutions etc.

Run Ed Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why? what did he say?
considering the number of people under surveilance, I would find it surprising if people involved with 'The Revival' were not under surveilance.
(I think the number of people under surveilance is 2 followed by some zeroes. the number being 2000, 20,000 or 200,000. Cannot remember which one, but the number will be in the airline terrorist plot arrests topic somewhere. (and I think it was 200,000))

Yep, agree with Noor - good show.
The discussion progresses quickly, but it does flow, and I guess it has to so that the presenters cover everything. Although the show is two hours, it doesnt seem that long when listening to it which is a good thing.
I was really impressed when brother Zahid Maqbool mentioned that he'd invited a TV crew over to join his family to experience iftaari. All of you are very humble but when non-muslims think good of Islam, it is down to peolpe like yourself - you dont just talk the talk. I pray Allah (swt) blesses you all for all your hard work.
just like The Revival...the lets talk show takes up an awful lot of time, effort, commitment...
i'm writing out the questions for tonights show as i speak...:-)
topic tonight is:
REVERT MUSLIMS IN ISLAM
we should have brother from oxford, jamaican bro form oldham, english bro from oldham and a chinese siter (on the phone) from manchester.
so shud be a good show but pls text ur questions and comments AND PHONE IN PLS;-0
