Secular Anti-Islamic Materials – A Few Thoughts
There are a number of secular anti-Islamic materials that circulate. These materials, in my exposure, include only a small number of legitimate criticisms of Islam. They tend to focus on aspects of Islam that they believe will shock their fellow secularists and liberal Christians, especially Shariah. Perhaps these materials may serve a useful purpose in…

The Father’s Testimony to Jesus – and did Jesus say, "I am God"
Sometimes when talking with Muslims, you may hear the line, “Jesus never said he was God” or “Jesus never said, ‘I am God, worship me.’” There are a lot of valid responses to this comment. Among these is the response: “He didn’t have to!” I. The Father’s Testimony to the Son The Father testified to…

Rhology Islamic Dialog / Debate
My friend Rhology engaged in a three part dialog with an imam, which is recorded. Interestingly, the imam suggested that Islam does not permit “debate,” as such (mentioned near the beginning of the first part). I thought Rhology did a good job of highlighting some of the important issues. It was relatively low key and…

40 Arabic Words vs. 33 Greek Words
Just as 300 Greek soldiers stopped more numerous Persian warriors, so 33 Greek words are greater than 40 Arabic words, as James White and IV Connerly demonstrate: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOJZRAjvW2U&w=560&h=315] -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

The title wasn’t supported by the body of the piece. “Deceit and Ignorance” turned out…

Do Muslims Have the Whole Koran?
The punchline is this – “a goat ate it.” In discussions regarding Qur’anic preservation, the following hadith is sure to come up: Reported ‘Aisha (RA): ‘the verse of stoning and of suckling an adult ten times was revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept under my pillow.

Why I Love Jesus and Keep His Commandments
I understand that my friend, Dr. James White, may be preparing a better response to “Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Muslim Version,” but I want to chime in now, while it is fresh on my mind (rather than waiting 24 years – just sayin’). I’ll respond in chunks to the lyrics. The…

What Should be Spent on Wine and Gambling?
Others have noted that there is inconsistency in the Koran regarding alcohol. One of these passages comes from Surah 2. The particular ayah is 219 219. They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say: “In them is great sin, and some profit, for men; but the sin is greater than the profit.” They ask thee…

Deedat and Jonah
I just listened to two Ahmed Deedat debates (contra McDowell and contra Douglas), both of which featured a very similar pair of arguments regarding the sign of Jonah. Each debate features both arguments, with largely the same flourishes – though there were some differences. The first argument is presented with a great deal of showmanship…
