Is it ever possible for Lou Engle to speak without spinning out into his Pentecostal tirade? Every time he shows up, anywhere, he turns his environment into some scene from "Triumph of the Will."

Coversion is a choice, and dialog doesn't mean anything for conversion unless the Holy Spirit is involved. Regardless, interfaith dialog is important and I'm glad we had this chat. Although we may have differences in opinion, we can both agree that we are equals. I don't believe the people behind sept.11 are true reflection of muslim faith and I hope you don't believe that christains with a Holier-than-thou attitude is a true reflect the christian faith. God Bless DeucePrez!

But the goal of interfaith dialog is not to convert one another. I've participated in interfaith dialog before and since 9/11. No one ever approached me to attempt to convert me. At least, not to my knowledge. The only time I saw an inequity was when I offered to do the sermon (kutbah), I never got a reply from the minister who'd done the sermons in the past.
Oh well. Their loss.

DeucePrez, I appreciate our conversation. I appologised to you for not chosing the right words and coming across as biased against Islam. Interfaith Dialog is very important and was lacking on this video until now. Although I do believer there are Christians out there who my have the Holier-than-thou mentality, that isn't what Christianity teaches. The Bible says all our righteous acts are as filthy rags. Christanity is not for the greatness of man, but the greatness of Jesus.

But my point is: where is the real interfaith dialog? If the pretext is, we heathen Muslims come to sit at the feet of the all-wise, all-knowing holier-than-thou Christians, please keep my invitation to this meeting.
If we're not seen as equals, then enters the holier-than-thou mentality.
As I stated before, MOST converts to Islam (in the US) know the Bible (particularly in the Black community). It was the ONLY religion the slaves were allowed to practice openly.

@ 2:20, the speaker claims to be concerned about what the Muslims would be praying for.
I'd LOVE to hear their follow-up conference call:
"Well.....it appears that our last conference call was much ado about nothing, guys. The Muslims were peaceful, despite several overzealous Christians verbally assaulting them. They prayed for the well-being of our country and said nothing containing ANY ill-will. How do you like that? We had that long, drawn-out call for nothing afterall...."

Here's what I'm noticing in this thread:
I've apologized for misspeaking, but "you're right in everything you've stated so far". But I've pointed out a few point where you're clearly biased against Islam. Yet, it appears that you're not willing to give an inch.
oh tony, we don't twist your words. we clearly understand em. you prey on the stupid & ignorant of this country.
99.9% of your predictions you say god tells you don't true. yet you continue to spout em. why do only the stupid & ignorant continue to believe you? cause you went to some 5th rated "christian" trade school for your title, you're able to talk to god & he talks back to you?
then, those same people send you money so you can continually tell em thru fear how stupid they are.
shame!

Well I figured you already knew the answer to the question, but you did ask. You're very fortunate to understand both sides of the arguement, but for a Christain it is more then just understanding the theology, it is having a personal relationship with God through Christ.
As for the converts, I'm not doubting they have said that, but it's not a question to ask me, but the person who said it. I won't know the context of what they ment unless I were to ask them myself as I might misinterpret it.
