  • If a suicide bomber blows something up, its a muslims fault. If a white girl gets rapped in an inner city, its the black peoples fault. If there is a 35 car pile up its the chinese fault. Holy shit!!!! knock it off with the stereo types

  • Mmkey1 u just got owned lmfao

  • Islam is the solution

    Muslims on the right

  • if jesus was/is god, he should have the quality of god. he was circumcised when he was 8 days old, he said to his followers, i ,myself cant do nothing and he never claimed to be god. there is not a single statement from jesus himself in any bible on the face of earth that he claimed he is god worship me. JESUS PBUH WAS A MIGHTY MESSENGER OF GOD. we respect him as a prophet not god

  • @ahmadj2006 I agree with you Ahmad. I am not a Muslim or a Christian but I also believe Jesus to be a mighty messenger to humanity, just like Muhhamed. : )

  • im a cristian and i dont believe that jesus is god he is the son like us all

  • You are right, in our holy Quran the God asked jesus if he tell the people to worship him, and he said i did not.

    So how comes, a god die.

    as muslim i believe in Jesus, bible, christian religion, but the people changed alot of things.........

  • You are right, in our holy Quran the God asked jesus if he tell the people to worship him, and he said i did not.

    So how comes, a god die.

    as muslim i believe in Jesus, bible, christian religion, but the people changed alot of things.

  • Did Jesus really start Christianity? Was that his purpose, to start a new religion?

    It seems like a lot of people have decided religion has nothing to offer them, but think that Jesus had a lot of good things to say. Why should Christians have the monopoly on Jesus, why don't we all just look at what he did, and what he said, and take from it what we want, without signing up to a set of customs and behaviours we call "Religion"

  • it would be good if muslims and christians were get together against all other ones!!! ♥

  • it is plain and simple just like i have told many christians time and time again , "If you can show me in your scriptures(bible) where it says i have to take the title of Christian or if you can find the word "trinity" then i will accept. They stay quite and then change the subject. Islam is clearly expressed in the noble quran." -

    peace and love from the "belly of the beast" the united snakes of amerika

  • research the definition of humanity and also the definition of animal and you will see how the muslim world fails to become human yet fits perfectly into the classification of an animal

  • @bondsan at least animals follows what nature and god intended them to be. human now sink even below animals..homosexuality..fetish­ism...necrophilia...sex with animals..u name it...a lot more other...trying to defend what's wrong to be human rights....how many babies are born out of marriage?..it's definitely years of sinking human civilization...where human follow their desires as truth..even animals are ashamed on us...if they can ever tell..

  • @cryctalite08 How do you know that humans are attended to follow a religon, how do you know humans are attended too marry each other? Have god said that to you? No he/she/whatever have not you stupid shit Humans got something wich nothing els on earth has and do you know what that is? Its a brain. Humans have a free will (okey not ppl who trust a 2000 years old book but the normal once) and so on so just shut up about youre bullshit maybe the animals se you as funny but thats aint our problem.

  • @Mmkey1 wow...what a very polite way of using a language i must say...well..animal do hv brain but we hv mind to think...thats the difference...but what's the use...if it's not going to be used for some good purposes...so please think with our mind not our desires..peace..

  • only religious unity can bring global harmony

  • Religion is a disease. It Keeps humans in the stone age by answering every question we may have with one god created everything. It also says that if you don't beleve this god created everything your going to burn in hell... Some caring god indeed. Religion rather we like it or not is a thing of the past, science and evolution is the way of the future and religion thinks its bullshit fairy tale stories are still right.

    Athiesim is the only way this world will see a real peace.

  • The Christian guy speak with emotions, where is his proof or logic. I don't understand this trinity business. How can 1 = 3 ? I am sold on 1 =1

  • if u want to think mathematically about trinity, think of it in the subject of subset... not addition.

  • how do u noe all this? were u there? and so wat if u were raised muslim?

  • i know it cause from the quran.

    duh....no disrespect.

  • obviously u have never read the qur'an, and watch too much tv.

    duh....no disrespect.

  • people have to understand that..mohammed in the beginning..before he wuz muslim or said he was a prophet..he ran into some christian who told him about god and jesus..he took the bible and went to mekka en told everyone about jahova and jesus..and the bible said there was going to be one last prophet and mohammed said that that was him..

  • i mean come on god allah muslims Christian whatever the hell u are

    people carted this because they didnt know why we are here in this life noone can answer this no matter how smart u are

    if i can carted a religion i'll do it and i'll call it peace all this bullshit distroy this world money religion color

    soo what if ur muslim or Christian or jewish

    it doesnt matter we all human

    it doesnt matter where u from or whats ur religion is or whats ur color is

    all it matters is love and peace

  • christians and muslims serve the same God???

  • No we don't know, Muslims worship the Unseen creator of the heaven and earth who is Unlike anything you can see or think of.

    Christians on the other hand worship a Man-God named Jesus who was put on the cross to be sacrafised for the sins of the christian people.

    Totally different gods.

  • Christians worship God Jesus and the Holy Spirit

  • @ChristianLove2008 "Christians on the other hand worship a Man-God named Jesus"---really? well then who created Jesus? and was his whole mission a futile cause? because according to you, he is now the almighty deity. After reading what Jesus said in the bible, I was under the impression that his reason for being was to save the people of sin and to direct them to the right way...his father. i have no comment on the Islamic portion because I just now started reading the Koran.

  • In my opinion, yes. God/Allah, whatever name you use, is the god of Abraham. Islam, Judaism and Christianity all trace their roots back to this one man, Abraham. So whether they realize it or not, it seems they all worship the same god.

  • your so right they all worship the same god as a child i knew at at age 7!!!!

  • Yes, we do... In fact in Islam Prophet Muhammad has family roots to Abraham and Ishaim his son.

  • ... and his son Ismail (Ishmael)...

  • How do u know? May be he did.

  • The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this deion .. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism.

    -Albert Einstein-

  • ur talking about islam... too bad einstein didnt look into it..

  • if we are all childreen of a suposed god , why do people need to create religions ,

    and dub themselves cristhians , muslims etc , arent they just normal humans too , or dubing themselves

    that way makes themselves superior or with more knowledge than others , dispist

    that religions fanatics only have the ca pability to quote their , books of gods.

    another question i am a sociopath , so if god creates all alike , why am i so different(absence of fellings) am i the devils work?

  • dont say dirty bosnians ..!!!..

    all muslims are clean and nice

  • God could care less about your religion. God created us to be good equal people from birth but apparently the rest is up to us and we are really good at messing it up!

    The almighty God will look at the universe and somewhere find a tiny spot called Earth millions of light years inside - and wonder with himself why we are so obsessed with old man made religious text books. Actually for God these text books are not even old but only a tiny tiny fraction of the age of this universe!!!

  • No matter what races u r.. bosnian, serbian, arab, jews, chinese or etc..

    Islam welcome all of u to the peace of life.. May Allah save all of us from satan & hellfire..

    luv from malaysia.

  • yup, i totally agree

  • It is interesting that the Christian needs to learn more about the Bible and learn other religions such as Islam to verify that Christian is the true religion. Let us read with open mind and without prejudice the Quran the Muslim Holy Book to find the truth.

  • Stop fucking comparing. If your happy with your religion then good for you...stop selling your religion, it's fuckin' stupid! Get a life.

  • Oh my dear friends!

    DON'T BLIND YOURSELVES FORM THE TURUTH!!

    As Allah says in the Quran

    "DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND, THEY WILL NOT RETURN (TO THE PATH OF TRUTH)."

    (AL-QURAN - SURAH BAQARAH 2:18)

    As God says in the Bible:

    "......SEEING THEY SEE NOT: AND HEARING THE HEAR NOT, NEITHER DO THEY UNDERSTAND."

    (HOLY BIBLE - MATTHEW 13:13)

  • what does this mean exactly??? Each verse is similar?? Stop comparing

  • that though both books are for seperate religions and that one or the other may have been changed, the message from God is clear. Due to the fact that we humans have become so arrogant, we are now deaf and blind to the truth and do not truly understand because we are consumed by hate, envy, our love for the world over God and (again) arrogance.

  • The title of the debate is misleading, seems to me that the christian came to discuss how muslims and cristians see each other while the muslim came with the intention to impose his belief in the corruption of the God's word.

  • this is a conversion war

  • hiko mamitakin bikulu muhhamadim zahru din be zahraii baina jerusalam

    song of solomon chap 5 vers 16

  • what about the crazy extreme muslims! who are killing christians around the world most of them don't talorate other religions.

  • don't tell me about innocent christians please I am a Bosnian and I know what those "innocent" christians can do to innocent people you piece of shit. We ware never religious until they slaughter us just because we had Muslim names and now we know why it happened because we turned our backs to god and we will never do it again. With gods will we will be ready next time!!

  • don't worry about it mate probably some dumb american who hasnt even steped outside his small hick town and spends most of his time infront of a tele believing all what he hears is fact, like america soldiers are coming to liberate iraq and afghanistan, and the weapon of mass destruction is with saddam and so on

  • We dont wanna have dirty bosnians in our religion. Sharmootaaaaa

  • You are dirty, you serbian bitch!! We Muslims are clean, your kind drinks, doesn't wash itself, smell like pig!! They go first into the stall and than they go in to the church, I have seen it personally myself!! you bitch, you don't wash your pussy for weeks, you stinking whore!!

  • stop it, how can one preach Islam in such a mannor? You and I are supposed to be setting people straight, but not in the way you just did. People may slander us, but we must fight Shaytaan (Satan) and not let our pride get in the way of what our true intentions are. And when spreading the message of God, we should not offend others physically or verbally. We should simply accept their opinions and xplain to them your views in a calm way, just as the Prphet (pbuh) would have done so.

  • It's easy to say it for you. You don't know what kind of pigs those serbs are.What they did and what they would do if they could. I lived with them i know them, you don't tell me what to do with them. They are the scum, of the earth!They need to be exterminated!!

  • i'm sorry if i caused you any offence, ur ryt i don't know. but do u no all of them to say that they r all th same, u r stereotyping. would u like it if someone held against you stuff which people from the same ethnic backround or group did? God loves everyone equally, you should jus pray that those "surbs" are guided.

  • no disrespect, but this guy is a DR.? not only that, but also a pasture? WOW! go back to school :) Peace

  • I realy amazed to see the truth with my own eyes ,that how our priests use us and hide the truth from us ,I did not know any thing about these all but after research,i knew now the truth.

  • Very obvious indeed. Shabir came to bash Lord Jesus & the Bible with the same theme as all of them do, the divinity of Jesus & the authenticity of the bible, using the same reason and argument as all like him have said. David on the other hand didn't even want to touch on the issue of prophet Mohammad & the Quran. It's simply because if anyone want to say anything negative about Prophet Mohammad & the Quran in public, its just cannot be done unless he has a really thick face & strong heart.

  • That's because every negative and derogatory word you can find inside the dictionary can be use to describe Prophet Mohammad and the Quran. Its just too embarrassing and shameful to say out publicly and yet its all true. I have many muslim friends and I truly feel pity for them. Why? I m tempting to write more but it will end up pages and pages. So I just end here. Kudos to Dr David. May God continue to bless you and your work.

  • fuck all religions. brain dead idiots!

    no gods, no masters

  • Friends;If you have prejudgements,Please explore the islam.Then you'll see what a muslim does and doesnt do.A muslim doesnt kill someone!A muslim is sensetive person.And a muslim doesnt hate anyone.If you dont wanna read something about "prophet Muhammad",then you can read something about "Mevlana".A muslim lives with passions.

    Selamunaleyküm

  • a) A person doesn't kill, a person is sensitive

    b) Another person does kill, and forces their own agenda on other people

    an average muslim: a)

    an average atheist: a)

    Islamist terrorists: b)

    Atheist communists: b)

    obviously people's moral actions don't say anything about the truth

  • Jesus is the lord. That's all, Muslims, we invite you all to Christianity.

  • I invite you to worship Jesus' Lord, God, and to accept Islam as your way of life. I found new meaning in my life through Islam that never existed while I was Christian/Catholic then simply agnostic... but then I read the Qur'an. I saw 2 ppl accept Islam at the 96th St mosque in NYC on Friday, they were Christian like I was.

  • In order to stand in the presense of the Lord, remission of sin is necessary. Even if you don't believe Jesus is the Christ, the Almighty wants obedience. Maintaining that is much harder, but worthy

  • What I don't get is that God requires the shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sins. Remember Abraham's son?

  • I'm under the notion that Muslims consider themselves set apart like the Hebrew nation - God chose them. That's not difficult to accept. Many groups subscribe to similar beliefs.

  • Not really. Many of us were from other religions and, we feel, guided towards Islam... like divine intervention because I can't speak for every other convert/revert but I found no purpose in my life when I was Christian, I just never believed the church dogma concerning Jesus—I adored him as a man though.

  • Jesus was referring to Psalms 2:7

  • Holy means to be seperate from sin, correct? So if we are all "sinners" how do the muslims expect to be able to even approach God? If God is "holy" and can not be in the presence of sin, how is it we can be in the presence of God? Muslims and Christians both believe that there is a Holy God to whom we are accountable to, however muslims seem to think that by some act of thier own they can be forgiven while being a sinner at the same time. How does this approach take sin seriously?

  • How does this approach to understanding sin and God take God seriously? Where will He be on The Day of Judgment?

  • Do you believe that all the prophets were sinless as Jesus was sinless?

  • Prophet Muhammad's(pbuh) explanation, according to ahadith, is that Jesus(pbuh) was the only prophet wherein no "bad side" had been assigned. God knows best.

  • God knows best, indeed. So tell me, what do you think about the Bible and it's authority?

  • Not in its present sense/incarnation. I believe it too moderated by man for me. On one end I can argue for Jesus(pbuh) being a separate entity from God whilst another set of words is convoluted to blur the lines betwixt the two, making blurry in understanding what should be abstract. God is One... and not?

  • Moderated by man? Anything that is "moderated by man" is purely evil and vile. Nothing that is truely "GOOD" can happen without the will of the almighty God. Can we atleast agree on that?

  • I will not agree that anything moderated by man is purely evil or vile for many good things can be learned from the bibles, albeit the fulcrum upon which my understanding of God is in His uniquely majestic Oneness, something that is not entirely supported by biblical scripture. I will agree nothing 'good' can happen without God's will but technically nothing evil, either. God leaves misguided whom He will, no?

  • Exactly, God leaves misguided whom He will. I agree. Though I believe God to be a "perfect" God. Meaning that despite what man "wants" God's will comes first. Therefore, if God is perfect, I do not believe That He would allow His word to be perverted, by anyone.

  • 2 Timothy 3:16

    All scripture is given by "inspiration" of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

    The original word for "inspiration" in greek is "theopneustos" which means "God breathed"

    So tell me is this one of those passages you believe to be entered in by man?

    Listen my friend, when studying something like the Bible it is best to do so without the presupposition that we already have the answers.

  • There are 14,000 original manuscripts in existence today. There have been scholars beating on every single word of the Bible since the invention of the printing press. No one has ever found a blatant contridiction. The truth is there are'nt any. In fact other then mispellings and alternate spellings, nothing has ever been found to be faulty, unless there be some other agenda, where we begin to dictate to ourselves what real truth is.

  • Blatant Contradiction: Matt 5:17-19 against Paul's Letter to The Romans 7:1-6

  • I have read these passages my friend, I see no contradiction. Explain what it is you see and I'll try to explain what I see from that.

  • If any bible is His Word why is the word "bible" in no part of it?

  • Are you serious? I assume you are'nt familiar with the history of the Bible and how it came together are you?

  • I am, actually, which is why I know the answer before asking. ;)

    Peace.

  • What you think you know is not the issue. The real issue is "can you learn anything new?" The issue is can you see how you are a guilty sinner in the eyes of God, and that there is absolutely NOTHING you can do to earn His merit?

  • Can you come to realize that you are in danger of falling into the hands of an eternally just and righteous God? Can you admit whether you want to or not, that God has revealed Himself in history, in His son Jesus Christ? Can you come to know of the Pride that ensnares you?

  • Your post seems rather full of pride itself, I mean, people thinking they KNOW they'll be saved before they meet God? What's up with that? ...like man can be God's consort.

  • Earning this comes with keeping The Commandments, which Jesus(pbuh) said to do to inherit eternal life--he never sold himself as God.

    Peace.

  • Yes, and Jesus also spoke of the commands He instructed us to keep. He said that we should "love the Lord thy God with all thy mind, and all thy strength, and also to love thy neighbor as yourself."

    What Jesus is teaching is the law, but simplified. You see if we do what Christ asks in this statement, obeying things like the ten commandments will be automatic.

    What God requires on judgement day, is PERFECTION! Not for us to be "close enough to perfection!"

  • (cont)

    Since Christ is the perfect sacrifice for all sin, I would be completely arrogant to think that I might somehow please God with my own efforts, since I know I am not perfect nor can I be! I thank God for His grace and mercy displayed in His son Christ Jesus. I am a sinner, and I fall short daily! And I know that my own efforts to please Him are foolishness. Repent and believe! This is all.

  • Compared to God even Jesus(pbuh) is a sinner God is so perfect. Unless you disagree and think God is less than Jesus? Jesus may be perfect compared to the rest of mankind but NOT perfect compared to his creator, God. The concepts you sell are more in line with paganism than Monotheism or what Jesus told people. I didn't believe it in church I don't believe it now.

  • Oh but my friend, you say Jesus is not God, and can't be compared to God, only because you pre-suppose this to be true. I understand that for non-believers, this is a very difficult concept to believe. But really, if Christ was in fact raised from the dead, than Christianity is true, and the resurrrection is the most important fact in history. If Christ was not raised from the dead, than Christianity is the most evil and wicked lie told to mankind. You must make your own choice.

  • I was raised Christian (Catholic more specifically), so you're not telling me anything new--no trinitarian ever does. I never believed Jesus(pbuh) was God. I made that philosophical choice YEARS before I picked up a Qur'an or thought twice about Islam. I also swear by God that if someone showed me in a bible that Jesus directly claimed to be God I'd discount him as a prophet as well, thankfully I MUST accept him as a prophet as I always have anyway in order to be Muslim.

    Peace.

  • bible=book

  • 1. the collection of sacred writings of the Christian religion, comprising the Old and New Testaments.

    2. Also called Hebrew Scriptures. the collection of sacred writings of the Jewish religion: known to Christians as the Old Testament.

    3. (often lowercase) the sacred writings of any religion.

    4. (lowercase) any book, reference work, periodical, etc., accepted as authoritative, informative, or reliable: He regarded that particular bird book as the birdwatchers' bible.

  • If I knew nothing about what God is - I would believe that there would be only one. Two things 1.) just cuz a triangle has three sides doesn't mean each facet can disengage independently from the whole and 2.) no one in the history of mankind has died for the well being of others just for the no good reason of impersonating some deity. You might consider Jesus merely a prophet, but why would you underestimate His prophecies? If He's a prohpet, proclaim it. If not, remove Him from your book.

  • I assume the 'book' you refer to is The Qur'an? Consider this; Why else would being a Muslim require one to acknowledge that Jesus is a Messenger and Prophet of God? Plus he cannot be removed from Qur'aan, its memorized by tens of millions of people and unlike any other religious text, it cannot be tampered with.

  • So many misguided people. It is human nature to pitty ourselves & hope we get to a better place. Your ramblings are as old as Sin. The world is far more complex than your/my Romantic beliefs, more compex than you or i could ever imagine.

  • How does your antithesis to being misguided deal with your 'self'? ...or is your conclusion of the fact of your being is that you are, within this grand scheme, as arbitrarily inconsequential as a speck of dust?

  • salam alakem to my Muslim brothers!

  • christians and muslims should stick together and fight the Antichrist NWO

    The US goverment have concentration camps ready and waituing for americans,know your enemy

    click on my user name to learn about the illuminati,mark of the beast,nwo

    peace to all good people

  • hahsaramu harikumu of all muslim in africa may allha brezs africa amen

  • The holy trinity!! the father the son and the holy spirit are all one.

    Jesus is the son of god , the son of god proceeded from the father and the holy spirit carried on.

    Muslim, christian watever religon its not about hating each other or killing each other over religon as the Quran says. from a christian god gave us life to treat everyone as you would like to be treated,, with respect.

  • how about everyone stops arguing about religions. its not a poker game, believe what you believe. what i stand for is individual freedoms, nobody trumps that, if you try to through your religion then you must be stopped. that is all.

  • Maybe we see it as though a mere man shouldn't be making those sorts of decisions such as freedom as man has tried innumerous times and always been unsuccessful, I think it's time we put the rules of God the all knowledgeable, powerful and Knowing into trial, I'm sure they are much more significant, appealing and likely to work then a man such as that retard president of the usa.

  • It should be clear to every mind that Holy Tora,Holy Gospel and Holy Quran all three are from one and the same only God. All books teach about love and behave ethically.These are the selfish and ignorant and stubborn people who create trouble, divisions and choas

  • Ha. The Bible teaches to Love eachother rather if they are Christain or not and Muslims teach no such thing. They Also Teach that some people are destine to go to hell While the Bible teaches that hell is only for the Devil and his angels and if we are born again Christains, we will go to heaven. Which religion do you choose? Oh and one more thing.... Its not a religon but its our life style.

  • Grow up kiddo! And stop trying to be a wanna be gangsta...please....thank you.

  • lets talk about this debate.On one side we have a Muslim scholar who is well prepared,confident,and having a committed belief. On the other hand there is a Christian

    scholar who has no logic, and no substance and who just want to finish debate and run away. There is no real comparison.

  • tru say boy str8 up

  • On the one side you have an experienced wise man whose bible has for centuries been picked to pieces with the historic-critical method, on the other side an eloquent who is as merry as a lark to recite some pieces of that, but doesn't recognize that for his book this historic-critical job has just started and there is no doubt one can find a lot of contradictions and inconsistencies therein.

  • See what happens when you provide a "reference" when you attempt to "quote" our prophet. My advice to you is to stop watching videos posted by Jay, he seems to be your favorite. They will get you nowhere and away from the truth. May peace be with you.

  • from where you left of....He replied,"You curse frequently and are disobedient to your husbands"...Shahi Bukhari 0006:301. Now, where in this hadith does it say that muslim woman who are married to muslim men are dwellers of hell fire? You speak nothing but lies. Shame on you

  • Africanchristian! You are a lier and a cheat. First off you have misquoated the Hadith. May Allah punish you for that and for saying lies against the prophet. Earlier you have stated that according to the prophet"most dwellers of hell fire will be muslim women married to muslim man", and then you partially quote the hadith. I will quote the full hadith for you....

  • My African brother. If your arguments are "the best evidence available that the Qur'an is not from God", then i would suggest you repeat after me. Ashedu WeLah iLahe Ilellah we eshedu ene Issa resul'Allah.

  • BornInBosnia.

    Since Muhammad said that the majority of the dwellers of hell-fire are Muslim women married to Muslim men, why should a Muslim woman marry a Muslim man?

  • Again, you're attempting to quote Muhammad s.w.s. without providing you source. Provide your source my friend. Also, you have a tough time referencing. Provide an author, book/volume, page, when quoting someone.

  • Volume 1, Book 6, Number 301:

    Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

    Once Allah's Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o 'Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" ..........

  • Quran claims again and again, laoud and clear that it is from God. Does Bible has that claim. No way, not at all. This is enough to prove that Bible is not word of God.This is blind belief only.I have watched many videos and found this Christian man and found what Quran says Deaf,Dumb and Blind.

  • abd400. U said "Quran claims again and again, laoud and clear that it is from God.."

    Last year a man comes out of a cave and claims to be a prophet of God, and the Seal of the Prophets. Later his friends produce a book that claims divine origin. Should we not ask him to provide other proofs like ancient, verified prophets produced??

  • Once again you prove your lack of knowledge of Islam. During the revelations to Muhammad s.w.s., Noble Qur'an was memorized by the prophet s.w.s. and the sahabas, the companions, and at the same time it was recorded, meaning it was written down, on different types of materials, i.e. sheep skin, stones etc., because paper was not discovered at that time.

  • BornInBosnia. Since YOU seem to know so much. How many Surahs were written down by the time Muhammad died?

    When Muhammad died, did EVERY sahaba know every Surah and in the order in which Muhammad taught them? Is there a possibility that some who died, took certain ayas with them?

    Incidentally you did not provide Hadith references for your statements.

    Scrolls/parchments had been used for over 1000 years when Muhammad was born!

  • You're contradicting yourself my friend. I'm not providing any references, because i'm not trying to quote anyone. Yes, Scrolls were used during prophets time, but you're forgeting that scrolls were made of different types of animal skin, not paper.

  • You make a lot of statements which you fail to defend by providing evidence from scriptures, qur'an or hadith. These opinions are interesting but are obviously not based on evidence (since you are not able to provide proof).

  • BornInBosnia. Since YOU seem to know so much.

    1)How many Surahs were written down by the time Muhammad died?

    2)When Muhammad died, did EVERY sahaba know every Surah and in the order in which Muhammad taught them? 3)Is there a possibility that some who died, took certain ayas with them?

    4) Was all the material written on available to Zaid? e.g was any eaten by a goat before Zaid consulted it?

    Please be so good as to answer these questions. Thanks.

  • LoL! I'm not a scholar my friend, therefore i cannot tell you exactly how many. But i know for sure that the Noble Qur'an was memorized from a to z by many people before our beloved prophet s.w.s. died.

  • BornInBosnia. U said "But i know for sure that the Noble Qur'an was memorized from a to z by many people before our beloved prophet s.w.s. died.".

    Please provide evidence from scriptures, hadith or qur'an to share with me how you 'know for sure....".

    Neither am I a scholar.

  • Now, when I said i was sure that Qur'an was memorised by many people by the time Muhammad s.w.s. died. Here are just a few names. Abd Allah inn Abbas, cousin of the prophet p.b.u.h., Ubay ibn Ka'b, companion of the prophet p.b.u.h., Hafsa bint Umar, wife of the prophet p.b.u.h. To make it easy on you and others, you may google these names to find out who they are.

  • abd400. "Quran claims again and again, laoud and clear that it is from God. Does Bible has that claim. No way, not at all. This is enough to prove that Bible is not word of God.This is blind belief only..."

    The bible makes such a claim!! Are you willing to discuss the issue?

  • alsunna. I'll give you 'smelling salt'. I'll paraphrase "You know that only God is good, yet you call ME good. Think about the implications of what you are saying".

    Is God simple or complex?

  • Africanchristian, I am not meaning to sound insulting or anything, but please show some evidence of all of the claims you make. "Scholarship shows quran is flawed" etc... I don't believe that is true.

    Asalamu alaikum

  • OK. Is there unequivocal evidence that the Arabic Qur'an that Muslims read was authorized by Allah, Jibril or Muhammad?

  • Wow, it took you about a month to "respond". Now, is your question an evidence or are you just asking another question? If you're asking just another question, then my answer is yes, there is evidence that Qur'an is authorised by Allah. It's in the Qur'an itself, you should read it sometimes. Peace

  • Sorry about the delay. I had major projects to complete. The hadiths reveal that the written compiled qur'an was not authorised by Allah nor by Muhammad. They also reveal that Uthman was the editor of the Qur'an and not Allah. The qur'an does not prove that it was authorised by Allah.

  • Here's a major project for you. It's actually quite easy. Next time when you mention "what the hadiths reveal..." provide exact hadith or any other reference. Until then...peace be with you my african brother.

  • BornInBosnia. Some Muslims are familiar with the hadiths. Tell me which of my posts you want references for, and I'll provide the Hadiths that I alluded to.

  • You haven't provided one reference so far. If you whish do discuss an issue, pick an issue and provide your proof, i.e. reference, and then we can talk. You can't list 5 random issues and expect an answer on a format such as this. You should know better than that.

  • BornInBosnia. Ok. The best evidence available shows that the qur'an that Muslims read is not from God.

    Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:

    Allah's Apostle said, "Gabriel recited the Qur'an to me in one way. Then I requested him (to read it in another way), and continued asking him to recite it in other ways, and he recited it in several ways till he ultimately recited it in seven different ways."

  • You truly are misguided! There are different types of recitations of the Noble Qur'an. The text in these recitations is unchanged, but the recitation differs. If you ask any Muslim they will tell you that any surah from the Noble Qur'an can be recited in different manners, meaning with different tones. Is that your argument?

  • You missed the obvious points!

    Did Jibril TELL muhammad how to recite or did Muhammad tell Jibril how to recite? Which one of them knew the right/best way to recite the qur'an?

    Which of the different ways was written in the Utham/Zaid texts?

  • It seems to me that you are missing obvious points my friend. When you ask "which of the diff. ways was written in the Uthman/Zaid texts? Written text is the same, even prior to Uhmans kaliphate. All Uthman did was to standardise the dialect, that is the Quraish dialect in which the Noble Qur'an was revealed.

  • BornInBosnia. U said "Written text is the same, even prior to Uhmans kaliphate. All Uthman did was to standardise the dialect, that is the Quraish dialect in which the Noble Qur'an was revealed. "

    Please provide proof!

  • You ignored the substantial points!

    Did Jibril TELL muhammad how to recite or did Muhammad tell Jibril how to recite? Which one of them knew the right/best way to recite the qur'an?

  • I guess you do not understand the difference betweeen comanding somone and asking someone. Muhammad s.w.s. asked angel Gabriel to recite surahs in different manners, he did not command. Again, you are assuming something.

  • Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of documents, but more importantly, since the beginning, the Qur'an was memorized, and has been memorized ever since. If you memorize the English Alphabet A-Z, and someone writes a book saying that the order is "ABDZUTC..." then you and everyone else who has memorized the proper alphabet knows it is wrong, and would not allow this to happen. The Qur'an is the word of God, do you really think the early Muslims would allow any mistakes to enter?

  • 1.Can you prove that nothing was forgotten?

    2. Memorizing does not assure recollecting.

    2.The best reciters were not consulted by Zaid.

    3.The hadith show that there were differing recitations

    4.Allah did not ask anyone to compile a written qur'an.

    5.Your illustration show that the reciters are the editors not Allah.

  • Muslims can not be good enough to make it to heaven ,never,ever.Life is in HIM alone.Without excepting JESUS' free gift and repenting of sin,there is no hope of heaven.JESUS is our defence lawyer,satan our prosecutor, GOD THE JUDGE!If GOD would just forgive,JESUS would not have had to die and JESUS did die,He said He would and He did!But He arose in a new non-parishable body.We who believe on JESUS will be raised in this same kind of body! PRAISE JESUS

  • Why was Dr. Shenks question about sharia law not answered, or cut out?

  • There is plenty of modern schorlarship that shows that the qur'an is so terribly flawed that it did not originate from God. Similarly, Muhammad not a prophet of God.

  • you are one deluded missionary....lol

  • Provide you evidence.

  • BornInBosnia.I'll state a number of truths, tell me which one you want to discuss first- 1) Muhammad is a false prophet. 2) The Arabic Qur'an that Muslims read was NOT authorized by Allah, Jibril nor Muhammad so it is suspect. 3) Muhammad is not a good example to God-fearing decent men.

  • Any of them.

  • OK. Is there unequivocal evidence that the Arabic Qur'an that Muslims read was authorized by Allah, Jibril or Muhammad?

  • Regarding Trinity. God tells us that when a man marries a woman the 2 become 1. We can't fathom this concept but we accept it because God taught it. God teaches that within His being there are 3 in 1. We cannot conceive this, but we accept it because He taught it. If we could understand or explain these things we would be God.

  • Should have debated if Muhammad is a prophet of God. Adam, Moses & Jesus TAUGHT 1 man 1 woman. The false prophet taught 'Allah said that Muhammad can have as many wives as he wants & Muslim men up to 4' -contradicting God, Adam, Moses and Jesus. Jesus warned that children should not be harmed. Muhammad was sleeping with Aisha when she was 9 and he in his 50s with adult wives. He did it often, since she was favourite wife. Her tiny womb was most likely damaged - hence she never had children.

  • bro please get out of your ignorant retarded world! ok? :D

  • Excellen Debate! :D it clarifies almost everything about Islam and christianity, for those who "want" to know the truth.

    btw Dr.Shenk´s response and presentations were just a "try" to make some points and have something to say. He simply has nothing to say, or to prove. And I wonder "why" hasn´t he become a Muslim after almost 40 yeart seeing, knowing, and even "touching" THE TRUTH.??

  • Ahmadlion. David talks like a man who is close to God in relationship. Shabir is very articulate, has studied much but speaks as one who is skiled on how to argue. The people that Jesus had the harshest words for were those who apparently knew of God but did not know Him and to them He will say I did not know you. What will count when each of us meets Him. David has the assurance that he will go to heaven - what about Shabir?

  • you are truly one deluded fellow :(

  • Dr. Shenk is great in this :)

  • great at reading a prepared text..sure

  • He is right and I have found how i foud it because I'm open mind no matter what religion i belongs to. I don't know this guy but he speaks the truth. Nice boy.

  • i love this shabir ally guy. everytime he debated he has won. mashallah.

  • it is the word of Allah that has won and not him, my brother :) and because the truth can never be defeated and will emerge soon or later by Allah´s will. Peace :)

  • thats true. its HAQ, but u need to know A LOT, and u need A LOT of patience to deal with ignorant people. :)

  • yes my brother, the patience is so important that if one has no patience can not have faith. may Allah guide and shower his mercy over us. Salam upon you :)
