  • Responding to "Fake Ex Muslims" Site Regarding Ergun Caner

    The “Fake Ex Muslims” (FxM) site has a page of “issues” that are identified with respect to Ergun Caner (link to page). I’d like to respond to a few of these “issues.” 1) Injeel means Angel? In one video that FxM has identified, Ergun Caner stumbles over the Arabic word for an evil spirit. The…

  • Did Mohammed Recognize that the Messiah was God?

    Here’s an interesting question, was there ever a time when Mohammed recognized that the Jesus was the Messiah, God incarnate? Someone recently suggested to me that the following is evidence for this position. Sahih Bukhari Hadith, Volume 4, Book 55, Number 649: Narrated Abdullah: The Prophet mentioned the Massiah Ad-Dajjal in front of the people…

  • Kadhafi Making Stuff Up?

    I came across a reaction to what Kadhafi had said (link to reaction) (link to my own previous post on what Kadhafi had said). Swordbearer writes: Kadhafi, in a one hour lesson on Islam, to a paid audience, stated in regard to Jesus’ crucifixion: “They crucified someone who looked like him.” And his evidence is?????…

  • Gaddafi Party and Islam 101

    Reformed Chicks Blabbing recently brought to my attention an article about a party that Gaddafi held in Italy to try to convert young women to Islam (link). Gaddafi put out a call for “500 attractive girls between 18 and 35 years old, at least 1.70 meters (5 foot, 7 inches) tall,” which was answered by…

  • Creature-Worship in Islam

    Islam does not attempt to make likenesses of Allah. Nevertheless, there is something akin to idolatry in Islam, namely the worship of Hajar Aswad, the black stone. The black stone is the cornerstone of the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The Kaaba is the black cubic building that is central to a number of aspects…

  • Allah said it?

    Muslims sometimes (see footnote 1) make the claim: We should read the Quran believing this is Allah speaking to us, because that is what it is. It is Allah talking to us directly. (source) Similarly: Islam is unique among the Abrahamic religions in its understanding of sacred scripture. While the Hebrew and Christian scriptures contain…

  • The Greatness of Jesus compared to John the Baptist – A Response to a Heckler

    In response to my earlier Question for My Muslim Readers, one heckler (he was anonymous, so I do not wish to accuse of Islam of being associated with him) tried to provide a counter-argument: In Luke 7:28 Jesus say “For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a…

  • Question for My Muslim Readers

    Today I stumbled across an interesting question for my Muslim readers. The question is, how can Mohamed be called the greatest prophet? The question provides evidence from the Koran itself to document the idea that, even based solely on the Koran, Jesus was a greater prophet than any other prophet. Please consider reading and thinking…

  • Rick Warren’s Prayer

    At Obama’s inauguration, Rick Warren gave a prayer. I’ve heard a few Christians up in arms about the prayer, and they generally focus on three things: 1) It was pretty empty. This is a legitimate criticism. There wasn’t much substance to the prayer, and some of the time was spent on “preaching to the choir.”…

  • Christ’s Voluntary Death

    I greatly enjoyed the following video by Dr. James White, explaining to a Muslim antagonist the voluntary nature of Christ’s death on the cross: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkRdmuVEVcM&hl=en&fs=1] I would add that there is more revelation that declares that Jesus’ sacrifice was voluntary, namely in the prophecy of that great prophet, the prophet Isaiah (prophecying of Jesus the…
