Is there a Web site with fair and accurate tools to evangelise our Muslim brothers and sisters. This Web site should give a fair representation of Islam and not have lies and distortions that some sites have about Catholicism.
Any recommendations out there. :confused:

Muslims will call anything that disbelieves Islam “lies and distortions”, so I really doubt there could ever be a way to satisfy your request no matter what. I’m glad you’ve taken an interest, though. Talking to Muslims about religion is like playing soccer with a goal that moves around everywhere and changes size all the time. I notice you’re in England, so the situation must be especially urgent in your case, huh?
 
I cannot find any saint or evangelical evangelist who has brought mass conversions of Muslims to Christiantiy. No St Francis, No Billy Graham, nada Sure their are inidivual stories usually of Muslims living in a western country who does make the jump but its an exception not the rule. It made me laugh when on evangelical blogs and forums when we Invaded Iraq some evangelicals were talking about Iraq as their next great mission field to convert Muslims to Christ. Well judging that they are beheading symphathetic christians who wander over their I suspect they are not havng to much luck. What might end up hapenning is that they convert the few catholics and orthodox existing in Iraq who don’t know their faith very well.

The situation in England is bad or good depending on how you view the situation,I view Muslims as possible converts and would like to share Jesus with them .
My search is for a web site you can trust with truthful information as one web site on Islam also mentions Catholicism and distorts the Catholic faith.So how do you know that the facts on Islam are correct.
I wonder if there is a Catholic or Christian web site that helps you to Evangelise Muslims with truthful facts 🙂
 
When speaking with Muslims, I think it is best to present to them the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus. Remember, if Jesus rose from the dead, Christianity is true. And if Christianity is true, Islam is false. A lot hinges on the resurrection of Christ so that is where I would focus.

Everything with Islam hinges on “Mohammed said so” or “the Quran says so” to the exclusion of anything else. In my experience, most of them don’t really care about the real evidence for anything.

Well considering the Quran says that Jesus wasn’t even crucified I would say your missing a big step in this line of apologetics. If he was never crucified than he really did not ressurect from the Dead but was someone who looked like him was crucified and thus people when they saw him beleived that he had rose from the dead.
This is Muslim arguementation. It is best to know their line of argument before assuming what they need to know.

Wisdom,

I actually am aware that most Muslims deny that Jesus was crucified (Although some due concede this point but claim He was taken off of the cross alive. Muslim apologist Shabir Ally would be an example). Their arguement that Jesus did not die on the cross is extremely difficult to defend. There is an almost universal scholarly consensus that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified and that the process killed him. My main point was that the resurrection of Jesus is what validates Christianity, and since it is so well evidenced, should be the focus of sharing our faith with Muslims. I certainly agree with your point about establishing the death by crucifixion first.
 
You can’t argue with muslims. The very few who convert, will do so on their own. Their leaders have gone out of their way to make sure that they don’t even consider it. That’s why you get the death penalty for denouncing islam over there. They want to make sure that anyone who is not muslim is looked down upon so much, that the current muslims will not even think of converting.
 
well i read prophetofdoom.net and i was amazed at the authors book, he’s not catholic but he absolutely destroys muslims in the forums.best one i seen so far. They also claim that their koran is superior to the bible because it is uncorruptible but extensive reasearch on the koran would seem otherwise.

NOW THE BOMB!

"Hudhaifa was afraid of their differences in the recitation of the Quran…Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ordered that all the other Quran materials, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, be burnt. (Hadith, Vol. 6, Book 61, #510). So here we have Uthman saying I’ll burn the word of God and I’ll decide just what should be in the Book.
 
One thing I have noticed about the Muslim beleif, is it is all based around the statement of faith. Beleiving that Allah is one god and Muhammed is his messenger. Within Islam itself there are several schools of thought, and each one is very different from the other. But to Muslims it doesn’t matter if the schools of thought are different because it all goes back to the statement of faith. Just so long you follow that statement you are a Muslim. So basicly each school of thought is just the style of the beliefs and not some kind of denomenation(even though there are Sunni and Shia).

Now why am I telling you all this? I am telling you this because this is the reason why I think it is very hard to evangelise to Muslims. You first need to know which school of thought they practice (good luck figuring that out). Then you can approach the Muslim point by point. For someone to tackle Islam as a whole is very difficult and frustrating because of the difference in beliefs. I have posed the suggestion on this forum that this method of organization within there religion is dangerous. The response was no it is not dangerous because we have free will. I think this response is kind of bogus, since free will is connected to weather or not we sin, and according to Muslims free will is based on what you believe. So go figure.

Another thing is don’t make seem as though you are attacking them. When they ask questions answer them with the best way you can. One thing I have noticed is they don’t listen to your response to well, so call them out on that. Make it clear that you have discoused with them that point and there should be no need to think anything other then what you have said. Also a good thing to use is proofs of actual miricles, such as the Shrud of toran. Or maybe give them some information about the Saints. Also ask them specifically about the history of Islam, how the Sunni and Shia came to be, and so forth. I hope these is enough help you in your journey of spreading the gospel. Peace be with you.
 
Preaching is the worst way to evangelize. At lest if your going to convert people do it through good works.
 
good luck trying to convert Muslims into Christians…

you could have luck by going into Afghanistan, Iran, etc… where people are opressed and promise them that they can come to the magical Christian land of the West (even though its secular but they dont have to know that) and they will enjoy freedom there.
 
The only hope of conversion of the muslims is through Mary.
catholic.net/RCC/Periodicals/Igpress/2002-01/dossier4.html

" Because the Muslims have a devotion to Mary, our missionaries should be satisfied merely to expand and to develop that devotion, with the full realization that Our Blessed Lady will carry the Muslims the rest of the way to her divine Son. She is forever a “traitor,” in the sense that she will not accept any devotion for herself, but will always bring anyone who is devoted to her to her divine Son. As those who lose devotion to her lose belief in the divinity of Christ, so those who intensify devotion to her gradually acquire that belief."
 
shadow,
If you don’t fear our preaching then why persecute preachers who come to your countries? I think you are afraid if people really learn about Jesus then will do what Abdul did.

Muslim,
Don’t you live in the West? Offer free green cards in Cairo and see how many trample each other to get to our “infidel” lands. Lands where freedom of speech and religion are practiced. I don’t see Americans lining up to live in Algeria.

Peace Robin Hood

I am a Muslim. I think the probelm that you are facing here is the actual goal. Instead of making the goal “evangelizatin of the Muslims” why cant it be more like to “search for the truth”

If you make that your goal, then you can easily find knowledgble Muslims who will have no problem discussing matters of religion with you. The truth really does stand clear from error. And, as in all things, pray to God to guide both parties to the truth 🙂

IWhat leaders? Do you know what goes on in Muslim countries?? The faithful Muslims are jailed and tortured. The corupt leaders of the Muslim countries want brainwashed “muslims” who will be more devoted to them than to God. I’ve heard stories from my own family who underwent such torture.
