I’ve started to notice something about Jewish history and I find it quite appalling. I find this in Jewish books, articles and other writings. We can all agree that the holocaust was an extremely tragic event in human history. Jews certainly know this more than anyone. Sadly, it has deeply affected the way that Jews think and do history.
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.
I really liked the above discussion between YouTuber Brian Holdsworth and apologist Matt Fradd. It was a discussion that took place at the Family Life Conference in Lac St. Anne, Alberta, Canada, which is an hour northwest of Edmonton, which is my hometown. Holdsworth actually mentioned that the conference was in Edmonton. While technically not true, he’s obviously saying this since few outside of Northern Alberta have heard of Lac St. Anne.
As a reader of this blog, you’ve probably noticed that I put up pictures or videos relating to posts. In trying to find one for Ariana Grande’s new music video God is a Woman, I ran into some troubles. I was going to put up a link to the music video but it I didn’t want to promote it. I suppose the fact that it has tens of millions of views in just a few days shows that whether I promote it or not won’t make a difference. My second thought was to put a picture of Ariana Grande up top, however a quick Google search of her shows that it’s impossible to find a picture of her in even semi-modest attire so I couldn’t do that either. So basically I just ended up selecting a picture of some religious books and a rosary.
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.
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.

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.
I recently read this article about the decline of the mainline Protestant religion in Minnesota. It also talked about the Catholic Church. The three Protestant groups it mentions are the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, the United Methodist Church, and the Presbyterian Church.
A picture I took in Medjugorje
Last weekend I was in my hometown. On Sunday, my mother and I went to the Byzantine Catholic Church as we usually do when I’m home. The last thing I expected was for the priest to give an entire homily on the controversial and unapproved supposed Marian apparitions at Medjugorje, which is found in modern day Bosnia and Herzegovina.
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.
