loved this debate. Adnan +1

[WorldIslamicOrder]

Muslims always win, Christian never listen.

[doityourownway]

You Muslims who debating your faith went against what Ahmad Deedat said long time ago. You are inviting more trouble into the heart and mind of man. Instead, invite them into submission to the Oneness of Allah the Creator. Reach their heart t through Tauhid. That what Muhammad saw did 13years in Mecca revealing that beauty. Go back to basic. I've to stop watching this half way. It was chaotic. Christianity and Judaism were the earlier Revelations. Find a common ground not against each other.

[Truth2010ize]

i have never seen a video yet where muslim wins

[Mumija101]

I was wrong, it was 20 minutes 6 time the question was rephrased and in the end after failing to answer the question adequatley the moderator had to call in a break and and offer to change the topic of the debate.

[Mumija101]

Boy oh boy, it takes Jay 15 minutes to answer the first question which was reprased and 4 times for him.

[DIBBY40]

Jay waffles a great deal. Adnan is eloquent. However, the debate still comes down to "my holy book is better than your holy book". If Jay had been born in a muslim country he would be arguing Adnan's position and vice versa. Their positions are doomed to forever clash. However, if you invited a Christian mystic and an Islamic sufi mystic to debate they would have much in common.

[addeen7777]

Jay Smith failed to prove that in order for one to believe in a certain faith, he must be able to prove that the religious sripture is divinely dictated and not based ambiguosly on dogmas, doctrines of men or churches. That such revelation must be preserved from it's source so that is free from human interpolations. This is a vital criteria to shape one's belief.

Luke 19:27 (King James Version) 27But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
