[imreadyyo26]

it seems those that are muslims always win these debates! WHY? they have to be helped by GOD. im just being honest

[XBAGREMX]

WHAT POUL SAW WAS UFO LIGHT....

[Abz90L]

Shabir is full of knowledge

[zilexxx]

Bible tells us to question the spirits ,and how false prophets will be recognized .by the bad fruits ,and if you see what fruits come from islam like killing them selves and other in the name of Allah ,you see the truth right away ,Quran tells muslim to protect their religion ,and you can find it in alot of Suras ,why would religion if its truth needed to be defended i mean Qur'an contradicts logic .

[lovergal1984]

Religion sucks but its seems like mike is failing to understand shabir. I'm not a M or c but the Muslims argument sounds more reasonable.

&

Surah 29:46 Muslims are told by Allah, not to question the authority of the scriptures of the Christians, saying, "And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is 1.

[mkonofre]

Mike, is on the defensive, as Shabir continues to interrupt him and does not allow Mike to express himself. In the Quran, Mohammed tells Muslims that if confused, to READ the BIBLE (which by the way, is the same now as it was in his time):

Surah 5:68 - Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law (Torah), the Gospel (Injeel), and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord."

[Saji131]

Did Jesus rise from the death? Good question. Let me ask you a question. Did Prophet Mohammed saw angel Gabriel or Satan itself? How do you know that he saw Gabriel.No one was with him. Mohammed himself doubted that it was a satanic vision and some evil ginn had caused it. In the whole history of vision, nobody doubted God's angel as devil. Even if somebody had a doubt, then and there the Angel used to clarify and they used to walk out with heavenly peace. But Mohammed continued to doubt. Why?

[TheFasfas123]

@TheLaunchingPad .....no use of simply saying lies about Islam...Learn something from the debate....and the GOD Jesus knew is Allah

[cerealkiller74]

Mike is so dense. He can't grasp Shabir's argument. 

[nubbs]

what mike doesnt get is that his "other hill" is basically flat ground. his "other hill" is really nothing much at all to stand on. the fact that he "retreated" to his other hill -- the corinthian hill, lets call it -- is proof he's lost. and lost badly. which is why the moderator noted the disproportionate talking time. mike has nothing to say except "im on this hill" (where i am sulking)
