The Western Convert to Islam and the Muhammad Problem

by

Westerners are not typically attracted to Islam but there are exceptions.  A small group inside of those who are attracted to Islam become converts.  What attracts them to this foreign religion?  They probably think that the Trinity is esoteric and Tawheed makes more sense.  They probably don’t like the Christian doctrine of atonement.  They probably like the fact that the Quran has never been changed.  The latter statement is utterly false according to Islamic sources.  Anyways, these are some of the reasons that they convert.

The Crusade Against Erdogan

by

Last weekend was the Turkish festival in my city.  It was downtown and not too far from where I lived so I decided to go.  I remember how on Canada day I engaged the Muslims at the dawah booth at the festival downtown.  I expected to find a Muslim booth but I didn’t know what to expect in terms of dawah.

Richard Dawkins isn’t Racist – He’s a Fraud

by

I never did like The God Delusion, in fact I didn’t finish because it was such a bad book, and I finish the vast majority of books that I start.  It’s sitting on one of my bookshelves collecting dust.  I keep telling myself that I’ll finish it one day but it’s getting less and less likely.

A Great Idea for Shabir Ally, Reza Aslan, or Mustafa Akyol

by

A book by Mustafa Akyol

I suppose this idea could be entertained by any Islamic scholar or apologist when you think about it.  Over the last several decades Islamic scholars and apologists have been reading not just our scriptures, but our Biblical scholarship.  They’ve used this material to attack the Christian faith and try to prove Islamic doctrine.  I actually have a suggestion that these Muslims might be interested in.

If Muhammad Were a Biblical Prophet he Would Have Done This

by

The Last Supper

In my last post, I talked a lot about how Muhammad never mentioned that a covenant with Ishmael existed.  The idea of a covenant seems foreign to Islam, however they’re very important in the Bible, in both the Old and New Testament.  They actually show why Muhammad is not a Prophet by Biblical standards.

What Muhammad Left Out

I recently re-watched one of my favorite debates which included David Wood and Zakir Hussain.  The debate took place many years ago and was called Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and the Covenant.  I remember being impressed with a lot of David Wood’s answers.  However, in re-watching the debate, I was a bit disappointed in something that David Wood did, or rather didn’t do.

Blog Numbers Since James White’s Webcast

by

In August of 2016 James White did a one hour piece responding to an article that I had written.  When this happened his fans swarmed my page.  I have to admit, I had my hands full responding to all of their criticisms but at the same time I really liked the amount of views that I was getting on my blog.

What Did the Early Muslim Empire Look Like?

In 2014 when I was in Albania, I noticed something interesting.  While 60% of the Albanian people are Muslim, 10-15% of the people are Catholic and 10-15% belong to the Orthodox Church.  The Muslims are not religious in the slightest.  It seemed that the Christians were more devout.  Either way, I could tell the difference between the Orthodox and Catholic churches with ease.  They simply had different architecture.  The Catholic churches looked more like a Church one would find in Italy or France and the Orthodox Churches looked more like the churches that I had just seen in Serbia a few days prior.

What David Wood and Christopher Hitchens Have In Common

Last week was my birthday.  I had some people over for a party at my house and the topic of Islamicize Me came up.  Of course Islamicize Me is the mockumentary about Islam and the teachings of Muhammad produced by apologist David Wood.  I recently wrote a post on this series and my thoughts on it so I won’t go over that again.

My First Youtube Video

by

As one can gather from the title, I have published my first video on Youtube.  Yesterday my country turned 151 years old so there was a festival downtown.  I found out on Facebook that some Muslims were going to set up a dawah booth.  I thought that this was a good opportunity for some debate.  I took a little walk downtown and engaged them in debate.  How did I do?  Well, the viewers can look for themselves and make their conclusions but I want to share how I thought that I did.
