I was wondering if anyone knew of any apologetical work directid towards Islam? From what I have heard Moslems are very hard to convert and are very schooled in converting Christians to Islam. There is an Islamic Fraternity(?) at my school so I thought that it would be nice to prepare myself if a moslem talks to me about my fiath and to have something to say if I ever talk to a moslem about his/her faith. Thanks and God bless.
 
I have a nice word doc about the “camel” method to evangelize friendly muslims

it’s too long to post it all here & I’m not sure how to email a word doc ?

apparently the koran is full of anti-jewish & anti-christian verses, but there are a few koranic verses that can be used to connect with the muslim and then quickly bridge to the christian bible, and in koran isa = jesus (or something)

here’s some cut/paste…

The word “Camel” is an acronym recalling the outline of the Koran passage 3:42-55: “Chosen, Announcement, Miracles, Eternal Life.”
  1. Three Steps to raising Isa up in the mind of a Muslim
    • Isa is holy – Surah 3:42-48
  • Code:
    He is the word of Allah - 45
  • He is the Messiah, held in honor - 45
  • He is near to Allah - 45
  • He is righteous - 46
  • He is virgin born - 47
    • Isa has power over death – 3:49-54
  • He gave sight to the blind – 49
  • He healed lepers – 49
  • He raised the dead to life again - 49
    • Isa knows the way to heaven and is the way – 3:55
 
You can send a word doc as an attachment to an email. I would be interested in seeing the rest of this. If you wouldn’t mind would you please send it to my email address of alansides@hotmail.com.

Thanks so much,

Alan.
 
This link here is a good article which helps on the mindset and approach to talking with Muslims.

Here is a link to a PDF to help
churchplantingmovements.com/documents_pdf/The%20Camel%20Track.pdf

I would read these carefull and make sure the faith isn’t compromised in using them as these are non-catholic links. Sometime they just focus on “saving people” and that is it. This can be modified though to be very useful

Maybe someone should start an apostolate to help Catholics deal with Muslims and bring them to the Church.

In Christ

Edit: I just read some of this and it should be modified to not compromise the faith as it seems like a messianic-jew approach which really isn’t bringing people into the Church.
Here is a link to a non-catholic critique of the Camel Tract,

Muslims claim that Jesus Christ is a prophet of Islam, right?

And a Prophet of Islam could never lie, (for if he did, is not the entire religion composed of lies?)

Ask them how they deal with the many times Christ states who He is.
 
They don’t claim Muslims are hard to evangelize for nothing. Don’t think I’m saying just give up on them, but be well aware you are fighting an uphill battle.

Everything they believe is based on blind faith, and I am not exaggerating. Whatever Mohammed said MUST be correct in their eyes, no matter what mountains of evidence are brought up to show otherwise. In cases where history does not favor their arguments, they will only come up with ridiculous conspiracy theories to try to convince themselves they must be right anyway (for instance “the Bible is corrupted, but the parts we think we agree with are ‘evidence’ of what is in the Quran” :rolleyes: ).
 
I also think St. Anselm’s Cur Deus Homo would be good for Muslims to read since it is basically a reasonable proof that given the very basic undertanding of the one God (which we share with Muslims) reason shows that He would become man and make satisfaction for sin.

argued passionately during my physical exam that Christianity was defrauded by St. Paul, who transformed the life of a prophet (Jesus) into a false, world religion. The doc was visibly disappointed when I didn’t respond. I just wanted him to finish my exam. His conviction and disappointment were profound, however. I thought it bizarre.👍
 
Muslims believe Christians are guilty of shirk and that we believe in 3 Gods, its best first off to explain the trinity by the 1x1x1=1 formula or for you catholics the st.patrick clover leaf theory…
Shirk is the greatest sin against allah it is associating anything to allah, they believe we are guilty of this…
 
It is difficult because they say that the Bible is corrupt. So, if you point out the various places that Jesus proclaims His Divinity, that is simply corrupted text.

Above all, pray for them. The Spirit will move in them in time.

Muslins often have a hidden agenda to control others even at times unbeknownst to themselves. It is their intention to convert you to Islam to meet this objective. It is part of their way of life.
Does this sound like anyone else who might be our enemy? The object of Satan perhaps equates perfectly. However the same could be said of anyone trying to force their own views or beliefs on another. Let us Thank God that we have a free society in the US. This is not the case in many predominately Muslim countries where they can be executed for professing Christ. Let us not forget though that Muslims are human beings, deceived as they might be they still deserve the same respect and dignity as all of Gods creation where-as the work of the devil does not. We have to differentiate the two. There is a medical term for what you describe which sounds like someone always and needlessly pursuing a personal agenda. It’s called a psychopath. In this light it is not hard to understand the potential for violence from Islam. Glad you made it out of your exam unscathed. Just a friendly suggestion: maybe its time for you to get a new Dr. 😉

Peace,

I have begun to compile information and gain experience in this endevor.

Though my personal experience isn’t included yet you can see some of the resources from this thread aligned in a possibly helpful way here in my Blog:

Muslim expert gives serious question to the authenticity and validity of the Qu’ran press release

Mohamed, Islam’s prophet, had incessantly refused to appoint a deputy or caliph to take over after his death because he thought Islam was a religion, not a state. He had also forbidden his disciples from compiling verses revealed to him into a book and from recording his doings and sayings into a body of rules and laws. He feared that the new religion could be hijacked, forged, altered, corrupted, used or abused in the process, as it is today.

Corrupt, avaricious, power-hungry and blood-thirsty disciples of Mohamed started a bloody putsch immediately after the prophet died which resulted in their hijacking Islam, turning it into a state where they proclaimed themselves caliphs (undisputed executors of Allah’s will on earth).

While Mohamed had aspired to spread Islam in most parts of Arabia only, the new caliphs had another agenda. To begin with, they planned to annex to the emerging rich and prosperous Islamic states of Syria, Iraq, Iran and Egypt. To justify, among other things, such an ungodly deed, the Muslim caliphs committed the single most dangerous forgery in history which was to set in motion a war of civilizations that would not stop short of the utter destruction of mankind. They came up with a scripture they called Qu’ran and claimed it was a compilation of verses that had been revealed to Mohamed by Allah. The Qu’ran which condemns non-Muslims to death commands all Muslims to rise in jihad to fight, terrorize, kill, take the land and homes, rape the women and children of Christians and Jews. This jihad must not stop before the whole world becomes Muslim.

Open your eyes to the numerous writings that prove the Qu’ran has always been a fabrication of man’s more sinister side, instead of idly being a Muslim that would rather believe the forged verse which says, "Allah is the creator of the Qu’ran and the preserver of it.” All Muslims unshakably believe that this verse is a solemn promise by Allah that the Qu’ran, unlike the Christian and Jewish scriptures, will always be safe and immune from forgery and corruption. Nothing is so protected as long as it is kept in the hands of men that will twist it to their own needs and misdeeds. Show the Clerics that we Muslims have a mind and an intellect to comprehend for ourselves and become free to know our own destiny in peace
