Response to Jay Smith : ​“Bib­li­cal Char­ac­ters In The Qur’an”

A series of video respons­es to the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary and anti-Islam polemi­cist, Jay Smith, regard­ing the exis­tence of Bible char­ac­ters in the Qur’an. This series comes in two parts, Part 1 and Part 2, and should be watched concurrently.

In sum­ma­ry, the videos will show that the claims made by the mis­sion­ary Jay Smith are at best dubi­ous, decep­tive and have been dealt with exten­sive­ly by Mus­lim schol­ars of the past. The prob­lem is that Mr. Smith is aware of these facts, but choos­es to ignore them. When it comes to the Qur’an he will trans­form into a lib­er­al but when it comes to the Bible he will trans­form into a right-wing, con­ser­v­a­tive inerranist. This shows his own incon­sis­ten­cy in deal­ing with the issues present. If he was seri­ous in the things he has to say about the Qur’an, then we won­der how he can still believe in the Bible as in inerrant document.

Over­all the videos present a gen­er­al­ly good response to the com­mon claims raised by the mis­sion­ar­ies, although it should be stat­ed that Bis­mi­ka Allahu­ma do not nec­es­sar­i­ly vouch for the authen­tic­i­ty of mate­r­i­al men­tioned in these videos.
