An Eye-Open­ing Bib­li­cal Narration

Many Chris­tians like the whale Sam Shamoun, Craig Winn and oth­ers sim­ply love going around bad-mouthing the Qur’an, say­ing that it con­tains per­vert­ed, non­sen­si­cal teach­ings”. Let us have have a glimpse of their sen­si­cal” Bible. Before I pro­ceed fur­ther I would like to state for the record that Mus­lims are utter­ly shocked and offend­ed that the Bible por­trays great mes­sen­gers of God as low-live drunk­ards. Com­ing back to the sto­ry, notice how the sto­ry says Ham, THE FATHER of Canaan. This is rather inter­est­ing. Seems like its try­ing to prove or lead to something.

A Counter-Chal­lenge to Sam Shamoun and the Chris­t­ian Missionaries

Recent­ly Sam Shamoun, a well-known bel­liger­ent and provoca­tive Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary at Answer­ing Islam, issued a chal­lenge to Mus­lims to prove that Jesus (peace be upon him) did not claim to be God, as per the Qur’an­ic state­ment. It is obvi­ous, how­ev­er, that his demands are as pre­pos­ter­ous as it is stu­pid. The Qur’an cer­tain­ly quotes or para­phras­es Jesus as say­ing that he is not God, but in Ara­bic. This is because the Qur’an has affirmed itself to be revealed in Ara­bic text, sent down to an Arab prophet, lest its audi­ence uses the excuse that they will not be able to under­stand the Qur’an if were brought down in a for­eign tongue.

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).

The Psy­cho­log­i­cal Impact of The Fatrah Experience

In their hasty attempt to obfus­cate and attack any­thing that inval­i­dates their claims regard­ing the Prophet’s (P) expe­ri­ences dur­ing the peri­od known as the Fatrah, the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ary Sam Shamoun had released a ver­bal bar­rage of rhetor­i­cal non­sense in his (ridiculously-)titled A Chris­t­ian Per­spec­tive[!] of the Fatrah of Muham­mad”. Need­less to men­tion, it is nei­ther Chris­t­ian” nor it is bal­anced in its per­spec­tive”, as the author sim­ply remains true to the form of the mis­sion­ary tra­di­tion. This is fol­lowed by the equal­ly-messy straw­man argu­ments by his cohort, Silas”, in his com­ments to our expo­si­tion of the Fatrah.

Did al-Zuṭṭ Ride Muham­mad ? A Crit­i­cal Philo­log­i­cal Reassess­ment of a Mod­ern Anti-Islam Polemic

This study dis­man­tles the al-zuṭṭ hadith polemic through close read­ing, lex­i­cog­ra­phy, and nar­ra­tive con­trol.
