  • Does Allah Commit Shirk by Inappropriate Swearing?

    David Wood has a video in which he makes the point that using Muslim standards, Allah himself would be guilty of the Islamic sin of shirk: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yz7QwOAf4Ww&w=560&h=315] I would like to add a brief further point. People normally swear by something greater than themselves. Thus, because there is nothing greater than God, the true…

  • Ergun Caner Debate Challenge from Adnan Rashid

    Adnan Rashid has issued a debate challenge to Ergun Caner.  The point of the challenge, presumably, is to demonstrate Dr. Caner’s alleged personal lack of knowledge regarding Islam.  This blog has previously noted a number of errors in Dr. Caner’s presentations on Islam.  However, I am not sure what particular value there would be to…

  • Who Killed Mohammed?

    David Wood has a powerful new video: [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6st_tFj6ouM] The video makes a serious point, although it uses a lot of “pop culture” clips.  It’s the sort of video that would get David Wood in a lot of trouble in Muslim countries. Hopefully our Muslim friends, relatives, and neighbors will consider the serious point, notwithstanding…

  • The Koran, Dr. James White, and the Idea of Repenting

    Recently, a Youtube video came to my attention, in which my friend Dr. James White is accused of lying about the Koran. Specifically, Dr. White had made essentially the following argument: 1) Our Muslim friend alleges that the Bible is wrong, because the Bible says that God repented. 2) But, the Koran (at 2:37) teaches…

  • Proof that Rome is a Sect of Islam

    Steve provides an argument (from Bnonn, I think) that tries to prove that those in the Roman communion actually worship Allah. The argument hinges on a statement made by the Second Vatican Council and affirmed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The logic of the argument seems sound, but the conclusion is obviously absurd.…

  • Rebuttal to Argument from Exhaustive Guidance …

    One of the Roman Catholic arguments that is popular is the argument that Scriptures alone are insufficient as our rule of faith and life, because they do not explicitly (or perhaps even implicitly) address issues that allegedly did not exist at the time Scripture was written. Usually topics like birth control are broached as the…

  • Update on Dearborn

    The video of the “disorderly conduct” (so called by many of their critics) is now available. (link to video) Does anyone seriously think that these guys are doing anything wrong – anything for which they should be arrested? To God be the Glory!
