[DefendingIslam]

In Islam: Do not kill a child, nor a woman, nor an old man, . (Sunan Al-Bayhaqî)

In Christianity: Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man( Numbers 31:17,18)

put to DEATH men and women, children and infants ( 1 Samuel 15:3)

Slaughter old men, young men and maidens, women and children( Ezekiel 9:5-6) .etc

[DefendingIslam]

sami zaatari won the debate

God bless you sami

[TheIslamicView786]

Islam is the only way to salvation

[Immy1993]

@sheptropremix that is called irony...because he then exposed stupidity in your religion...however, it is an easy debate to win against Islam...what a lame religion..like all religions....

[Immy1993]

@DefendingIslam why don't you defend the suras/hadith/commentary that shows violence in your religion against non muslims, women, etc.. How does it help your nonsense religion to show that the other religions have same violence in it? This is called a straw man argument...village idiot!

[pinka0688]

its funny how Christians, sit here and talk about the persecution, and they don't realize they are the ones persecuting...

[loveallislm]

ISLAM IS THE ULTIMATE TRUTH. TOO MUCH FALSEHOOD HAS BEEN SPREAD AGAINST ISLAM, BUT NOW IT IS NO MORE POSSIBLE TO BEFOOL THE PEOPLE. ISLAM IS SPREADING IN WEST, IT IS SPREADING FAST.

[sheptropremix]

lol why would he salam alaykum, which is a greeting of peace in islam, and he begs to differ. a contradiction he probably didnt notice

[atomac23]

firs letst clarify jizziya. That is like todays' tax but only from non muslims. Zakat is what muslim has to pay and is only 2.5% per year. Eh jizziya is even les end on the top of that non muslims did not have to go in war.

[Tchado1000]

No that's not Islam , that's Saudi Arabia , if you want to charge Islam with this claim , then bring forth a verse that proves your case...otherwise , go blame the government .

[Tchado1000]

but the difference between david wood and ahmed deedat is that deedat actually was winning with his arguments.
