Split­ting Hairs, The​“Jochen Katz” Way

Answer­ing Islam has post­ed an ear­ly reac­tion in objec­tion to our pub­lish­ing of Han Kung on the Prophet Muham­mad (P). There are sev­er­al issues in this reac­tion by Jochen Katz, the de fac­to dic­ta­tor of Answer­ing Islam, that needs to be cor­rect­ed. We shall briefly respond to each of the allegations.

Some Notes On Sam Shamoun’s Low­ly Character

Recent­ly I came across email exchanges that took place between Jalal Abualrab and the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun. I have heard that the mis­sion­ary Shamoun is a very abu­sive, mali­cious and nasty indi­vid­ual, con­stant­ly mock­ing and abus­ing Islam as his hob­by. After read­ing the mail exchanges, it became clear to me that this mis­sion­ary is indeed a very arro­gant and abu­sive per­son. I was sur­prised to see that Katz, who gen­er­al­ly main­tains a polite tone, did not say a word to con­demn Shamoun’s abu­sive behav­iour. In this paper I would like to com­ment upon the dis­cus­sion and offer my own per­spec­tive, views and obser­va­tions as a reader.

Answer­ing Islam : Preach­ing What They Do Not Practise ?

In one of their pages, Answer­ing Islam had made the fol­low­ing claim with the clear inten­tion of poi­son­ing the well” where Mus­lim sites are con­cerned. The rest of the page goes on to either debase or dis­cred­it Mus­lim web­sites for their depen­den­cy on athe­ist” mate­r­i­al and preach­ing about the lack of con­science” on the part of Mus­lims to aban­don athe­ist mate­r­i­al (notwith­stand­ing the fact that most of the links on their page are either bro­ken or no longer exist).

Mis­sion­ary VS Ter­ror­ist : An Exam­i­na­tion of a Mis­sion­ary’s Men­tal Imbal­ance and Behav­iour­ial Problem

The recent bar­rage of mis­sion­ary demen­tia gives us a mar­velous oppor­tu­ni­ty to expose the char­ac­ter of the mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun, his men­tal dis­or­der and the extremes he is will­ing to under­take in order to unleash his abus­es and prej­u­dice towards Mus­lims. Indeed, he con­vinc­ing­ly demon­strates that he is a con­firmed Islam­o­phobe. The dis­cus­sion is con­cern­ing the use of the term mis­sion­ary”. The mis­sion­ary claims that we should not refer to him as a mis­sion­ary because even though he is a mis­sion­ary, many Mus­lims nev­er­the­less have alleged neg­a­tive” views con­cern­ing the title mis­sion­ary” accord­ing to his opin­ion. Hence he argues that we are mak­ing an ad hominem attack against him every time we right­ful­ly call him a mis­sion­ary. He claims that his argu­ments will be alleged­ly dis­missed before­hand by Mus­lims when they find out that he is a missionary.

Some Thoughts on Mus­lims Con­vert­ing to Chris­tian­i­ty and Vice-Versa

This arti­cle was writ­ten as part of my answer to a Chris­t­ian call­ing him­self AIbrahim”, who raised the issue of Mus­lim con­verts to Chris­tian­i­ty as proof” for the truth of Chris­tian­i­ty as well as deny­ing that Chris­t­ian reverts to Islam were even prac­tis­ing Chris­tians”. Below is the repro­duc­tion of that dia­logue, with some mod­i­fi­ca­tions to suit the topic.

Paul Says That Mark Is Futile : No Res­ur­rec­tion In Mark’s Gospel

But the first of the four gospels, i.e., the Gospel accord­ing to Mark, appar­ent­ly did not receive Paul’s memo. And this is a very impor­tant point as we keep in mind that each of the gospels were ini­tial­ly divorced from each oth­er and were writ­ten in dif­fer­ent local­i­ties for dif­fer­ent audiences.

The Gospels’ Accounts Regard­ing the Call of the First Disciples

So which is the cor­rect Gospel account con­cern­ing the choice of Jesus’ first apos­tles ? The fol­low­ing Bible con­tra­dic­tion was extract­ed from an unpub­lished the­sis enti­tled Ibn Hazm On The Doc­trine of Tahrif which cites Kitab al-Fasl fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa’ wa al-Nihal and insha’allah this will be part of an ongo­ing series to repro­duce extracts of Ibn Hazm’s crit­i­cisms of the Bible and Christianity.
