  • John 8 and the Birth of Jesus

    Fol­low­ing are some obser­va­tions on the curi­ous account of the birth of Jesus which a care­ful study of the Gospels reveal : In John 8:31 ff., there is a debate between Jesus and the Jews about their descent from Abra­ham, who is char­ac­ter­ized as their father. In verse 39, Jesus calls into ques­tion the legit­i­ma­cy of their birth…

  • Did Jesus, Mary and Joseph go to Egypt or to Nazareth ?

    Did Jesus, Mary and Joseph go to Egypt or to Nazareth ?

    In Matthew 2:14, we are told that Joseph took Mary and Jesus to Egypt : ​“When he arose, he took the young child and his moth­er by night, and depart­ed into Egypt.”  Yet in Luke 2:39, they went to Nazareth after Jesus’ birth : ​“And when they had per­formed all things accord­ing to the law of the Lord, they…

  • On The Method­ol­o­gy For Deter­min­ing The Var­i­ous Bible Difficulties

    The Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies in their ini­tial response to our list of Inter­nal Con­tra­dic­tions of The Bible have made the claim that we are : …more both­ered with seek­ing excus­es not to take the Bible seri­ous­ly, than find­ing rea­sons for their [our] own faith.

  • 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…

  • When the Evan­ge­list Becomes a Shaikh, the Angels Become Wor­ship­pers of Adam

    When the Evangelist becomes a Shaikh, the angels become polytheists, worshipping Adam instead of Allah. When the Evangelist becomes a Shaikh, the Nasikh becomes Mansukh, the Mutlaq becomes Muqayyad and the `Aamm becomes Makhsus, and vice-versa. Not that it is not hilarious to read for Evangelists-turned-Shaikhs. It is at the discovery of the level of…

  • Why Was the Prophet Polygamous ?

    Why Was the Prophet Polygamous ?

    Some crit­ics of Islam have reviled the Prophet(P) as a self-indul­gent lib­er­tine. They have accused him of char­ac­ter fail­ings that are hard­ly com­pat­i­ble with being of aver­age virtue, let alone with being a Prophet and God’s last Mes­sen­ger, as well as the best mod­el for human­i­ty to fol­low. How­ev­er, based on the eas­i­ly avail­able scores of biogra­phies…
