Hi,

Here’s the thing: No one wants a list of articles. There are plenty of Christian disproving Islam and Islam disproving Christianity pieces out there that it takes a very specific one to make any headway.

I briefly looked over the articles and I did not find them researched to my satisfaction. For example, it clumps Jehovah’s Witnesses into Christianity (when it tries to point to ‘contradictions’ in the Bible without listing them.) Therefore, I have to conclude that it is not thoroughly researched and thus not worth my time.

Now, if you would put forth an argument worth discussing, that’d be super. Here’s one of mine: Why should we believe the Koran since it was ‘revealed’ to one man when throughout the history of divine revelation there have been many people, signs and wonders? (True, Sikhs have only one prophet, but they aren’t trying to make such extraordinary claims as Muslims.) To me the Koran seems no more valid than the Book of Mormon in that respect. Joseph Smith was called a prophet, too, but that didn’t make him one. That’s always puzzled me.

Ok, your turn…

Dear Laura

Thank you for your response.

I think though, that it is not fair or just to dismiss a lost fo articles without reading them, and briefly looking over them does not count as reading them…

Kind regards

Dear Eireann

Thank you for your response. Yes, it may have been better, nevertheless, you do not have to read or listen to all of what I have linked to, you can just listen to or read 2 or 3 as you prefer.

I guess I don’t mind booklists as much as the others who have responded to this thread so far. It’s a peeve of mine that so few people will actually read very much about a subject before forming an opinion. I am a former LDS and have posted a booklist on the topic of Mormonism several times.

On the other hand, the books I posted were largely devotional or general-purpose doctrinal materials written by Mormons principally FOR Mormons; my purpose in posting these was to give Roman Catholics an accurate glimpse of what the LDS faith looks like ‘from the inside’. As I explained within the body of the booklist, I am always concerned that reading about a controversial subject only from the opposing point-of-view tends to skew and jaundice one’s perspective on that subject AND also makes it impossible to engage in dialogue with folks who take another view. I certainly was NOT aiming to convert people to Mormonism.

Your booklist seems rather different: it seems directed towards proselytisation to Islam. I think that perhaps this is what is provoking the negative responses to your list. Nonetheless, such a list has it’s uses, and so long as the Moderators don’t object to such a list, I do thank you for your trouble. I will take some time to read some of the material as I have time. God bless!
 
I have no objection to Muslims trying to proselytise to Christians, as long as Christians are allowed to proselytise to Muslims. Do Muslim countries allow for that?

NO!!!:tsktsk:
 
One of the things I noticed in the Introduction part of “Before Nicea” is that the author states at the outset that not everything in the Gospels can be taken as authentic. Yet he seems prepared to use the Quran as a fully authentic and unquestioned source. One of the sources mentioned in the introduction is the Jesus Seminar, which most orthodox Christians would not consider to be reliable at all.

If one goes back through the entire history of the Church, from the day of Pentecost forward, I suspect that one would find that most of the allegations against Christian doctrine found in this material have been previously debated, dealt with, and disposed of by Church fathers, theologians, historians, textual scholars, and others.

What puzzles me is this: Muslims are free to research at great length into the history of Christian doctrine and Christian scripture formation, (as are Christians, secularists, or independent researchers.) There is no shortage of historical and critical research concerning any aspect of Christianity. Not all Christians will agree with the conclusions reached by such biblical researchers as Raymond Brown, but no one disputes his right to conduct such historical and textual research or even doubts his sincerity as a Christian.

But can the same be said of Islam? I am unaware of any equivalent degree of research into the sources, texts, history, sects, and biographies of Islam. I could be wrong. Has there been historico-critical and textual analysis of the Quran? Have comparisons been made to other middle-eastern religions and oral traditions? Does Islam even allow for such inquiry? Could a Muslim conduct such independent research without running afoul of Islamic law?

Hi Abu, have you suggest these people : faithfreedom.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=32 to refer the links you mentioned above? … Goodluck!🙂
 
Dear JimG

Thank you for your response, you are a person who is more open minded than most it would seem, and no doubt this is a good quality to have. I am actually a convert to Islaam so I am aware of the other side so to speak and the misinformation and lies about Islaam, so I understand and appreciate what you are saying. I hope that the audios and articles prove to be of benefit to you.

Dear Cute2904

I am not on this forum to have constant back and fourths, I know from past experience how time consuming that is. I have posted some links, if you or anyone else wishes to listen to and read them then this is good and I hope that some benefit will come out of it, but if you or anyone else does not wish to listen to or read them then so be it, I am not here to force you, the opportunity is there for you and others, but the choice is yours…

Dear Abu, nothings wrong with constant back and forth. People here do not mind back and forth to bring their own proves/statements if they think it is appropriate.

Uuumm well yes the choice is mine/ours. But when you said “Misinformation and Lies about Islam”, Dont you think you are not ready to see other point of views about Islam but from your side only? Take example, Muhammad married a 9 year old girl Aisha. You say it is ok. I say it is not ok. it is pedophilia. Where is the misinformation part? We get it from the same source. or Is it a lie?, What about terrorism? They kill in the name of allah. Bali bomber said they would never regreted being a killer because they killed allah’s enemy, the Infidels. This is no longer about economy or financial issues they said but this is what allah want from his true followers. Even if they were not caught up by the police, they would still go for jihad to kill the infidels ← see? this faith is similar as a cult rather than a religion.

*Qur’an 9:111 *“Allah has purchased the believers, their lives and their goods. For them is Paradise. They fight in Allah’s Cause, and they slay and are slain; they kill and are killed.”
***Qur’an 47:4 ***“So, when you clash with the unbelieving Infidels in battle, smite their necks until you overpower them, killing and wounding many of them. At length, when you have thoroughly subdued them, bind them firmly, making (them) captives. Thereafter either generosity or ransom until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are you commanded by Allah to continue carrying out Jihad against the unbelieving infidels until they submit to Islam.”

Every religion, especially Christianity has been ordered by God to spread the True Message so everyone deserves a salvation from God. But not a single verse that Jesus asked his followers to smite their neck, making them captives, bind them firmly, subdued them, and kill them ~ the unbeliever~

If there is a better choice to spread God’s message through love and compassion, why would we choose violent way?.. Isnt God himself is Love?
 
cute2904,

Same ol stuff that has been answered to you accountable numbers of times.

'Aaisha, may Allaah be pleased with her, was discussed at length in several threads. Muslims here, by the help of Allaah, have explained this more than adequetly.

Also explained to you was all the verses you posted as well as many others.

You simply continue to post the same old propoganda, knowing it has already been discussed.
Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law–a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.” (Matthew 10:34-36)

Propaganda? lol… you have sounded it like I have major mission here. You have made my posting being discussed. Its my answer to Abu not to you personally. However you are free to comment, this is a forum anyway.

**Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law–a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.” (Matthew 10:34-36) **

Jesus was never using any sword in his entire life to anyone. No verses recorded that he used sword literally. And most important is He never killed people. Yet, people went against one to another, whether its in the family or else. Many people being killed because they were following Jesus.

this, added to the fact that she doesn’t seem to accept anything that is said to refute her positions, no matter how legit and valid those refutations are, remaining obstinant on her continual attack of islam and its teachings has lead me to put her on my ignore list… 👍
 
I love radical Muslim who post on this Catholic web site telling all of us that we are the stubborn ones. I will tell you that I will die before I will accept Mohammed and his propaganda. I am the servent of the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirt. I am the lover of Jesus the Christ. I will never leave my God no matter how many of my relatives you have to murder in order to convince me that Islam is a good religion from a good god. I believe that it is the product of the evil one. The most beautiful of God’s angels before the fall Lucifer.
