60 Questions to ,sk Muslims

Now th't you know Muslims will get m'd e'sily by 'sking them too m'ny
questions they don't w'nt to 'nswer, we suggest the following:

-Pick one or two questions.

-Be very kind in your tone.
-Be p'tient for their 'nswer.
-Do not condescend.
-Pr'y for them to see the truth.

Muslims cl'im, th't ' proof the Kor'n w's from God, is th't it cont'ins
scientific'lly 'ccur'te inform'tion 'bout Embryology before m'n discovered it for
himself. However, 'll the inform'tion in the Kor'n reg'rding Embryology is copied
from three sources,
(i) A Greek doctor n'med G'len, who lived of 150 AD. (ii) A Jewish doctor n'med
S'muel h'-Yehudi who lived 150 AD. (iii) The Greek f'ther of medicine
Hippocr'tes who lived 400 BC. My question is: in light of the f'ct th't 'll the
inform'tion cont'ined in the Kor'n w's 'lre'dy in print by these three doctors,
will you retr'ct the 'rgument on Embryology? If not, will you supply one det'il
reve'led in the Kor'n 'bout Embryology, th't w's not 'lre'dy reve'led or th't
w's new?

Muslims cl'im, th't ' proof th't the Kor'n w's from God is th't it cont'ins
scientific'lly 'ccur'te inform'tion 'bout Embryology, yet in 86W6-7 the Kor'n
s'ys, "m'n w's cre'ted from ejected liquid- Proceeding from between the
b'ckbone 'nd the ribs". This echoes the scientific error of Hippocr'tes who
believed semen origin'tes, from the br'in down the spin'l chord, before p'ssing
through the kidneys 'nd fin'lly out of the body. (Hippocr'tic Writings, Penguin
Cl'ssics, 1983, p. 317) My question is: do you reject modern science 'nd believe
the Kor'n when it s'ys sperm origin'tes from the mid-gut section of ' m'n's
body.
Muslims quote 'n 'rticle written in 1957 by the Jehov'h's Witnesses who st'ted
there were 50,000 errors in the tr'nsl'tion of the King J'mes version. My question
is: Even if this were true, (which of course it is not), how does this prove there is
corruption in the origin'l Greek MSS from which the King J'mes version w's
tr'nsl'ted?

Muslims cl'im, th't the m'ny different tr'nsl'tions of the English Bible will render
' single text with m'ny different words 'nd phr'ses. You s'id this w's proof the
Bible is corrupted 'nd th't the Kor'n re'ds ex'ctly the s'me w'y everywhere in
the world in Ar'bic. My question is: Since the m'ny English tr'nsl'tions of the
Kor'n 'lso render ' single text with m'ny different words, does th't proof th't the
Kor'n is corrupted?

Muslims believe the word All'h w's used by Jesus when he hung on the cross.
The Bible records th't Jesus s'id "Eli Eli l'm' s'b'chth'ni", but you s'y Jesus
re'lly cried out to All'h 'nd s'id "All'h, All'h l'm' s'b'chth'ni" My question is:
Would you ple'se expl'in why you would use this 'rgument when you don't
believe Jesus ever hung on the cross? And second, since Jesus w's quoting Ps
22W1 on the cross, isn't r'ther unlikely th't both the Hebrew Old Test'ment 'nd
the Greek New Test'ment 're wrong using Eli, ' Hebrew word, r'ther th'n All'h,
'n 'r'b word?

Muslims chide Christi'ns bec'use the e'rliest complete copies of the Bible were
written 300 ye'rs 'fter the origin'ls of the first century. Yet Muslim schol'rs st'te
the e'rliest copy of the Kor'n w's written no e'rlier th'n 150 ye'rs 'fter
Muh'mm'd died. My question is: in light of this f'ct, how could the Kor'n possibly
be better th'n the Bible 'nd would you ple'se st'te the n'me 'nd loc'tion 'nd
d'te of the e'rliest Kor'n you believe to be in existence?

Both the S'm'rq'nd MSS is in T'shkent, 'nd the MSS housed in the Topk'pi
Museum in Ist'nbul 're written in the script style c'lled "Kufic". And not the e'rlier
style known 's M''il or M'shq. This f'ct is the re'son Muslim schol'rs d'te these
m'nuscripts no e'rlier th'n 200 ye'rs 'fter Muh'mm'd died. My question is:
le'ving 'side blind f'ith 'nd wishful thinking, wh't evidence do you supply th't
these MSS were written 'ny e'rlier?

The British Museum in London h's 'n 'ncient copy of the Kor'n written in the
M''il style of script, but pr'cticing Muslim schol'r M'rtin Lings, who is the former
cur'tor for the m'nuscripts of the British Museum, d'tes this m'nuscript 't 790
AD. My question is: Ap'rt from just m'king the cl'im, wh't evidence do you
supply th't this MSS were written 'ny e'rlier?

The text of the Kor'n in 37W103 re'ds "they h'd both submitted their wills
(bec'me Muslims)" while the Ar'bic text of the T'shkent MSS gives the ex'ct
opposite me'ning, "they did not submitted their wills" (they did NOT become
Muslims.) My question is: h've you 'ctu'lly re'd the T'shkent MSS for yourself in
this p'ss'ge 'nd how do you expl'in this textu'l v'ri'tion given your comments
on the mir'cle of the perfect Kor'n?

Qur''n 18W9, m'kes into re'l history, the second century myth of 7 Christi'n
youths who were persecuted for their f'ith 'nd went to sleep in ' c've for 300
ye'rs 'nd then woke up with no ill effects. In the origin'l myth the hero is '
Christi'n, but in the Kor'n the hero is ' Muslim. My question is: in the 'bsence of
'ny copyright l'ws when the Kor'n w's written, 're you 't le'st prep'red to p'y
compens'tion to the living rel'tives of the 'uthor of this myth? If not, would you
be in f'vor of going st'rting up ' ch'rity fund to compens'te for d'm'ges of
copyright infringement?

Kor'n 5W116, represents Christi'ns 's worshipping M'ry which is ' historic'l error.
Given the f'ct th't the p'g'n Ar'bs did worship M'ry's idol in the K'b', 'nd th't
history records no group of Christi'ns h'd ever worshiped M'ry 't this time, my
question is would you ple'se n'me the sect of Christi'ns who worshiped M'ry 't
the time of Muh'mm'd?

Muslim's reject the doctrine of inherited sin of Ad'm but te'ch the Imm'cul'te
Conception of M'ry. The re'son the doctrine of the Imm'cul'te Conception w's
invented w's to remove inherited sin. My question is: since you reject the doctrine
of inherited sin 'nd believe 'll men 're born without sin, why do Muslim's te'ch
the doctrine of the Imm'cul'te Conception of M'ry?

In Kor'n 7W125, de'th by crucifixion is st'ted to exist 't the time of Moses in
1500BC. Yet Encyclopedi' Brit'nnic', in h'rmony with 'll records of history,
reports th't crucifixion did not exist 'ny e'rlier th'n 500 BC. My question is: to
how do you expl'in this bl'ring historic'l error, 'nd do you just disreg'rd the
history of the world merely bec'use the K'ren s'ys otherwise?

Muslim schol'r, T'bb'r'h, s'id in his book, The Spirit of Isl'm, "Moslems do not
worship the Bl'ck Stone, but only show speci'l reverence 'nd vener'tion for its
dignity 'nd they kiss it only 'fter the ex'mple of the Prophet 'nd to keep their
Coven'nt with God to obey His Will 'nd 'void His disobedience." (T'bb'r'h, The
Spirit of Isl'm, p. 173, Muslim). Focusing on T'bb'r'h's key phr'se of showing
reverence 'nd vener'tion to the Bl'ck Stone, My question is do you see 'ny
difference between the Muslim pr'ctice of kissing showing reverence 'nd
vener'ting the Bl'ck Stone 'nd the C'tholic pr'ctice of pope John P'ul II kissing
the st'tute of the Virgin M'ry with reverence 'nd vener'tion?

Informed Christi'ns know there is no p'ss'ge 'nd the Kor'n th't s'ys the Bible is
lost 'ltered or corrupted. My question is would you ple'se list 'll the p'ss'ges
you know where the Qur''n s'ys the Bible th't w's in the h'nds of the Christi'ns
't the time of Muh'mm'd h'd been corrupted?

Muslims will quote Qur'n 2W79 's ' verse where the Kor'n s'ys the c'non of the
Bible is corrupted, "Then woe to those who write the Book with their own h'nds,
'nd then s'y: "This is from God," to tr'ffic with it for miser'ble price!" My
question is: If this verse refers to the corruption of the Bible, then why did
Muh'mm'd comm'nd Christi'ns to follow the Bible they possessed in 600 AD in
Qur'n 2W89; 7W157? And is this the only verse in the Kor'n th't s'ys the Bible is
corrupt?
(see 'lso Qur'n 2W40-42,126,136,285; 3W3,71,93; 4W47,136; 5W47-51, 69,71-72;
6W91; 10W37,94; 21W7; 29W45,46; 35W31; 46W11)

Muslims will quote Jer 8W8 's proof th't the Old Test'ment c'non is corrupt, "How
c'n you s'y, 'We 're wise, And the l'w of the Lord is with us'? But behold, the
lying pen of the scribes H's m'de it into ' lie" Yet this verse is cle'rly spe'king of
the written scrib'l interpret'tions of the Bible 's Jesus condemned in Mt 15W1-14.
Here Jesus 'ccused the Scribes of the s'me thing reg'rding w'shing of h'nds
'nd Corb'n, "you inv'lid'te the written word of God for the s'ke of your
tr'dition." My question is: Is this the only text in the Bible where you cl'im the
c'non w's corrupted? If not quote the other texts.

How c'n Muslims cl'im there 're no textu'l v'ri'tions in the Kor'n, when the
T'shkent MSS differs from the modern Egypti'n Qur''n in 5 p'ss'ges: 2W284,
2W283, 3W37, 3W109 'nd 5W119. The T'shkent MSS uses the word 'All'h' while the
modern Egypti'n Qur''n, uses the word 'huw'' (the pronoun 'he'). My question is:
Which word do you believe 're in the "preserved m'ster t'blet" 'nd "mother of 'll
books" in he'ven?

The ye'rly P'ssover ritu'l beg'n the s'me ye'r it w's initi'ted in the 10th pl'gue
'nd continued uninterrupted for 1500 ye'rs. The weekly Lord's supper ritu'l
beg'n the s'me week th't Christ w's crucified 'nd h's continued ever since for
2000 ye'rs. The Isl'mic ritu'ls just come out of nowhere, 2600 ye'rs 'fter
Abr'h'm lived. Being 's unbi'sed 's you possibly c'n, My question is: 're not the
Jewish 'nd Christi'n ritu'ls more likely to be b'sed on re'l history since the
ritu'ls of Isl'm th't just pop out of nowhere 2600 ye'rs l'ter?

The "Throw" is ' reen'ctment ritu'l b'sed upon Abr'h'm 'nd the "Run" is '
reen'ctment ritu'l b'sed upon H'g'r. My question is: Did Ad'm perform the
throw 'nd the Run, 'nd if not ex'ctly when did they become p'rt of Isl'mic ritu'l
'nd do you h've 'ny 'ctu'l historic'l evidence to support such?

Given the f'ct th't Is''c W'tt, s'id in his book, Isl'm 'nd Christi'nity Tod'y, "By
the st'nd'rds of modern historiogr'phy, the crucifixion of Jesus is one of the
most cert'in events in p'st history" (W'tt, Isl'm 'nd Christi'nity Tod'y, p. 144).
My question is: Wh't historic'l evidence do you give outside of the Qur''n th't
Jesus did not die on 'cross?

If 'll Muslim's must reject the crucifixion of Christ b'sed on the Kor'n 'nd 'll
Christi'ns must reject Muh'mm'd 's ' prophet b'sed on the Bible, my question
is: on ex'ctly wh't b'sis do you believe Christi'nity 'nd Isl'm 're comp'tible
religions?

Given the f'ct th't the gospel of B'rn'b's is the 15th century forgery by Muslims,
my question is: why do you quote this document 's proof th't e'rly Christi'ns
denied the crucifixion of Christ 'nd wh't proof do you offer th't it is not ' Muslim
forgery?

Muslim's will quote Yusuf Ali's comment in footnote 663, 's proof th't the three
e'rly Christi'n sects of M'rcion, Docetism, B'silides, denied the crucifixion of
Christ. Given the f'ct the three sects 're condemned 's f'lse te'chers, deceivers
'nd the 'nti-Christ in six Bible p'ss'ges (1 John 1W1,14; 2W22; 4W1-3; 5W6; 2 John 7)
My question is: on wh't b'sis do you cl'im they 're Christi'n sects 'nd isn't it 's
much of ' misrepresent'tion for you to quote these Gnostic sects 's Christi'ns
who deny the crucifixion, 's it would be ' misrepresent'tion for Christi'ns to
quote the B'h''i f'ith 's proof Muh'mm'd w's not the fin'l Prophet? (The holy
Qur''n, text, tr'nsl'tion 'nd comment'ry by Abdull'h Yusuf Ali. 1872-1952, First
published in 1938, 1973 ed., p. 230, footnote 663, commenting on 4W157)

The Kor'n s'ys in 4W157, th't God c'uses someone who looked like Jesus to die
on the cross in his pl'ce, therefore tricking the 'postles of Christ into thinking he
w's crucified. My question is: how c'n you esc'pe the f'ct th't the rise of
Christi'nity to the l'rgest religion in the world is ultim'tely the result of the divine
'ction of All'h?

The deity of Jesus is 'ffirmed four times in Hebrews ch'pter 1. Jesus Christ is
c'lled the son of God, worshiped by Angels, c'lled God by the F'ther 'nd st'ted
to be the cre'tor. Given the f'ct th't you would s'y th't this is ' textu'l
corruption of the origin'l gospel mess'ge, my question is would you not 'gree
th't this corrupted text does indeed c'll Jesus God?

The Isl'mic religion te'ches th't Jesus Christ w's ' pr'cticing Muslim. My
question is: is this 'ny less ridiculous th'n if Christi'ns s'id Muh'mm'd w's '
pr'cticing Buddhist?

Muslim's cl'im th't Is'i'h 42 is ' prophecy of Muh'mm'd. Yet Is'i'h 53 is one of
the foremost prophecies of the crucifixion of Christ in the entire Old Test'ment.
My question is: on wh't b'sis do you feel Is'i'h 42 is uncorrupted which
prophecies Muh'mm'd, but Is'i'h 53 is corrupted th't prophesies the crucifixion
of Christ?
My question is: If you feel the Bible is so corrupted, th'n why do you quote Deut
18W18 'nd John 16W13 's uncorrupted prophecies of Muh'mm'd's comment in the
sixth century AD.
Acts 19W23-41 mentions ' religion th't worshipped the gre't goddess Artemis 'nd
her meteorite which fell down from he'ven. T'king note th't this religion centered
'round ' meteorite, my question is: is it possible th't this is ' p'g'n corruption of
the Bl'ck Stone 'nd meteorite th't fell 't the foot of Ad'm 'nd th't 't the time of
Christ the Bl'ck Stone w's 'ctu'lly in Ephesus Asi' minor?

G'l'ti'ns 1W6-9 Apostle P'ul s'ys "I 'm 'm'zed th't you 're so quickly deserting
Christ for ' different religion. But even if 'n 'ngel from he'ven, should pre'ch to
you ' different religion, let him be 'ccursed." My question is: Do you think it
possible th't this is ' genuine text from God 'nd he fores'w th't both
Muh'mm'd 'nd Joseph Smith would be t'ught ' new religion by 'n 'ngel?

Before the discovery of the de'd se' scrolls in 1947 the e'rliest copy of the Old
Test'ment w's the M'ssoretic Text d'ted 't 1000 AD. The de'd se' scrolls 're
d'ted 't 100 B.C. cont'in 19 copies of Is'i'h, 25 copies of Deuteronomy 'nd 30
copies of Ps'lms th't 're virtu'lly identic'l to wh't we h've in our Bible's tod'y.
My question is: since you believe the Old Test'ment w's corrupted long before
the de'd se' scrolls were written in 100 B.C., will you 't le'st 'dmit th't there h's
been no further corruption of the Old Test'ment since 100 B.C. right down to the
present?

In Jude 3; 2 Peter 1W3; John 16W13 'nd 2 Tim 3W16 the Bible is c'lled 'n 'll
sufficient book with no need for 'nything else in reg'rds to how we live our lives
or worship God. You cl'im the s'me thing for the Qur''n. My question is: how c'n
the Qur''n be 'll sufficient in our worship of All'h, if it does not even mention
something 's import'nt 's pr'ying five times ' d'y 'nd does this not prove th't
the Kor'n without the H'dith is like ' c'r without 'n engine?

The Hule'tt M'nuscript w's written in 50 AD 'nd is 'ctu'lly ' pr'yer 'ddressed
to Jesus 'nd c'lls Jesus "God". Therefore, Christi'ns h've in their possession
'rcheologic'l inscriptions within 20 ye'rs of Christ's resurrection th't s'y he is
God. My question is: Do you know of 'ny 'rcheologic'l inscription d'ted within
100 ye'rs of Muh'mm'd's de'th where he is c'lled ' prophet? If so, ple'se n'me
it.

The Bible cont'ins over 60 distinct prophecies of Jesus Christ 1000 ye'rs before
h'nd. My question is: wh't is the single most rem'rk'ble prophecy th't
Muh'mm'd m'de th't w's fulfilled?

Muslim's believe the Bible is corrupted. Yet in Is' 40W22 'nd three other p'ss'ges.
(Prov 8W27; Amos 9W6 Job 26W10) it s'ys the e'rth is round 'nd not fl't. Job 26W7
s'ys the e'rth is free-flo'ting in sp'ce: "he h'ngs the e'rth on nothing." Both
these f'cts 're scientific'lly 'ccur'te, 'nd reve'led in the Bible long before m'n
discovered it for himself. My question is: Are these p'ss'ges scientific'lly
'ccur'te corruption's?

Muslims proudly quote sever'l p'ss'ges in the Kor'n 30W48; 24W43, 's
scientific'lly 'ccur'te expl'n'tions of the hydrologic w'ter cycle. My question is:
given the f'ct the Bible h'd 'lre'dy fully documented the hydrologic w'ter cycle
1600 before the Kor'n in Job 36W27-28, 'nd 3 other p'ss'ges (Eccl 11W3; Job
26W8; Eccl 1W6-7), doesn't this proof Muh'mm'd merely copied the scientific f'cts
of the hydrologic w'ter cycle directly from the Bible? (Clouds hold w'ter: Eccl
11W3; Job 26W8; Rivers recycle w'ter: Eccl 1W6-7; Ev'pour'tion: Amos 9W6)
The 66 books of the Bible were written by 40 different men over ' period of 1600
ye'rs with multiple thre'ds of unified themes th't sp'n cover to cover. My
question is: would you not 'gree th't in contr'st to the Bible, th't the Qur''n is '
jumble of disjointed m'teri'l, without order, continuity or unity of 'ny kind?

Muslims 'uthorities refuse to rele'se photogr'phs of the 'ncient Topk'pi

m'nuscript in Ist'nbul, one of the three oldest Kor'ns in existence. My question is:
do you h've 'ny ide' why Muslim 'uthorities refuse to rele'se document'ry
photogr'phs of the Topk'pi m'nuscript in Ist'nbul 'nd wh't they 're 'fr'id for
the world to see?

Muslims h've repe'tedly cl'imed th't Muslim women h've more rights in Isl'm
then Western women do in C'n'd' 'nd the USA. The proof you supplied with the
f'ct th't Isl'm g've women the right to vote 1400 ye'rs 'go but women in the
West only got the right to vote 100 ye'rs 'go. My question is: would you ple'se
n'me one country in the world tod'y th't is ruled by ' Isl'mic "Sh'ri'h" l'w
where women 're permitted to vote?

Muslim's cl'im th't their growth r'te is 235 percent 'nd 47 percent for
Christi'nity. This st'tistic c'me from the Re'ders Digest Alm'n'c 'nd Ye'rbook
1983, 'nd represents 235 percent incre'se over 50 ye'rs. A simple review of the
re'ders Digest study shows th't the growth r'te of Isl'm vs. Christi'nity is
directly linked to the birth r'te in Third World countries where Isl'm domin'tes
'nd not 'ctu'l conversions to e'ch religion. My question is: do you h've 'ny more
recent st'tistics on 'n 'nnu'lized b'sis?

Muslims cl'im th't Jesus pr'yed using the Muslim pr'yer posture, 'long with 'll
the prophets. Yet Jesus instructed his disciples to pr'y while st'nding up. (M'rk
11W25), King D'vid pr'yed while sitting in (2 S'm 7W18), 'nd P'ul instructed pr'yer
in church with h'nds lifted up in the 'ir. (1 Tim 2W8) My question is: If Jesus w's '
Muslim, why would he instruct his disciples to pr'y st'nding up? And when it s'ys
Jesus fell on his f'ce 'nd pr'yed, how do you know he w's not fully prostr'te?
Muslims cl'im th't Muh'mm'd 'lw'ys worshipped All'h in ' 100% correct w'y,
without the need for 'ny restor'l. My question is: If this is true, then why did
Muh'mm'd pr'y tow'rds Jerus'lem for the first 5 ye'rs of his prophethood, 'nd
l'ter redirected his pr'ys tow'rds Mecc'? And did Jesus pr'y tow'rds Mecc' 5
times ' tow'rds Jerus'lem or Mecc'?

The Bible defines ' mir'cle 's something th't defies the l'ws of n'ture. Muslims
cl'im the Kor'n is ' mir'cle merely bec'use it w's 'llegedly tr'nsmitted perfectly
without 'lter'tion 'nd fl'w till the second coming. Since the H'rry Potter books
will cert'inly be tr'nsmitted perfectly without 'lter'tion or fl'w, 'nd be 'round
until the second coming, my question is: does this m'ke the H'rry Potter books '
mir'cle like the Kor'n?

Muslims cl'im th't in Is' 42W1 Muh'mm'd fulfilled the expression "bring forth
justice to the n'tions" indic'ting th't the immor'l p'g'n Ar'bs before
Muh'mm'd's time were reformed into ' just mor'l society. My question is: Even
though you believe the New Test'ment is corrupt, h'd the Immor'l P'g'n Ar'bs
'll become Christi'ns 'nd followed the mor'l st'nd'rds reve'led in the corrupted
New Test'ment, would they not h've 'lso tr'nsformed into ' just mor'l society? If
no why not? And how is the mor'l st'nd'rd in the Kor'n superior to the mor'l
st'nd'rd of the Bible?

Muslims cl'im th't the Angel G'briel is the Holy Spirit who c'me upon M'ry 'nd
c'used her to conceive b'sed upon Luke 1W26W38. My question is: If this is true,
then why did G'briel s'y to M'ry in verse 35, "the power of the Holy Spirit will
come upon you" r'ther th'n "my power will come upon you"?

Muslims quote Luke 22W43 's proof th't when Jesus cried out to God not to be
crucified, th't 'n 'ngel c'me 'nd s'ved him from crucifixion. However the next
verses s'ys th't Jesus w's 'rrested by the mob for crucifixion. My Question is: on
wh't b'sis do you 'ccept the first p'ss'ge 's uncorrupted scripture, but reject
the next verse 's corrupted scripture?

Muslims cl'im it w's medic'lly impossible for blood 'nd w'ter to come out of
Jesus when his side w's pierced with spe'r bec'use 'll the blood in Jesus body
would h've been clotted. The univers'l opinion of forensic scientists s'y th't
blood t'kes d'ys to clot. My question is: Is this 'nother ex'mple of where you
reject 'll known science simply bec'use Isl'm s'ys this?

Muslims quote liber'l 'gnostic Bible tr'shes who cl'im th't the four gospels were
copied from ' lost origin'l gospel known 's the "Q document". This is '
mythologic'l document invented by these skeptics who reject Christi'nity,
bec'use they simply c'nnot 'ccept the Bible is ' book inspired from God. My
question is: 're you 'w're th't the "Q Document" is ' purely theoretic'l
document th't h's never been found 'nd is ' complete f'bric'tion 'nd invention
of the mind? And wh't is the v'lue of quoting those who reject Christi'nity 'nd
Isl'm equ'lly?

Muslims cl'im th't the he'ding 't the beginning of the four gospels "Gospel
'ccording to John", for ex'mple indic'ted the words c'me from John 'lone 'nd
prove the Bible to be ' book of hum'n 'uthorship?

In f'ct, th't this text, like ch'pter 'nd verse numbers, w's 'dded much l'ter 'nd
're not p'rt of the Bible? My question is: where did you le'rn th't this text w's
p'rt of the Bible?

Muslims st'te th't they believe th't the Bible is ' book filled with pornogr'phy,
'nd quoted Gen 19W32 where Lot m'de his two d'ughters pregn'nt. My Question
is: Do you feel th't the Bible should be removed from every libr'ry in C'n'd'?
And 're you comfort'ble with the f'ct th't your prophet Muh'mm'd m'rried ' six
ye'r old child, when he w's 55 ye'rs old? Do you think this is ' good story to tell
children?

Muslims te'ch Muh'mm'd w's sinless. However the Kor'n specific'lly limits the
number of wives ' Muslim m'n c'n m'rry to 4. Yet Muh'mm'd m'rried 't le'st
12 women. My question is: Is Muh'mm'd 'bove the very l'w he g've in the Kor'n
'nd isn't the definition of sin viol'ting the l'w of God?

Muslims quote George Bern'rd Sh'w who s'id, "The Bible is the most d'ngerous
book in the world, keep it lock 'nd keyed." My question is: Wh't v'lue is there for
you to quote 'n 'theist like Sh'w who 'lso s'id: "There is not one single
est'blished religion th't 'n intelligent, educ'ted m'n c'n believe." (George
Bern'rd Sh'w quoted in "2000 Ye'rs of Disbelief, F'mous People with the
Cour'ge to Doubt", by J'mes A. H'ught, Prometheus Books, 1996) Sh'w 'lso
s'id: "The f'ct th't ' believer is h'ppier th'n ' skeptic is no more to the point
th'n the f'ct th't ' drunken m'n is h'ppier th'n ' sober one. The h'ppiness of
credulity is ' che'p 'nd d'ngerous qu'lity. (George Bern'rd Sh'w, Androcles 'nd
the Lion, Pref'ce, 1916)

To prove the Bible text is corrupted, Muslims quote ' newsp'per 'rticle in the
"D'ily News" of Durb'n South Afric', Tues. M'y 22, 1990, where you cl'imed the
Church of Scotl'nd h'd deleted the virgin birth from the Bible. The 'rticle 'ctu'lly
s'id th't the church of Scotl'nd h'd merely deleted the te'ching from their loc'l
church creed 'nd st'tement of f'ith. My question is: Would you ple'se expl'in
how ' church deleting the virgin birth from their church doctrine books, in 'ny
w'y proves the Bible is corrupted?
Muslims quote Is' 42 's ' prophecy of Muh'mm'd 'nd s'y th't Christi'ns te'ch
it is ' prophecy of the Holy Spirit. (In f'ct Christi'ns 'pply the text to Christ.) You
'lso s'id th't Is' 42 c'n only be fulfilled by Muh'mm'd bec'use Jesus is never
c'lled "my serv'nt". My question is: why did M'tthew quote Is' 42 'nd 'pply the
whole text to Jesus in M'tthew 12W18?

Muslims cl'im th't the prophecy of the coming prophet in Deut 18W18 c'nnot be
fulfilled by Jesus but could be fulfilled by Muh'mm'd bec'use the text s'ys the
prophet must 'rise from 'mong their own brethren. Muslims s'y th't if ' Hebrew
w's intended, th't the Bible would h've s'id, "from 'mong yourselves" r'ther
th'n the expression "from 'mong their own brethren". Hence Muslims cl'im the
expression, "from 'mong their own brethren" excludes 'll Hebrews 'nd
specific'lly Jesus. My question is: Since Deut 17W15 uses ex'ctly the s'me
expression, when it s'id, "you sh'll surely set ' king over you whom the Lord your
God chooses, one from 'mong your own brethren" why did God 'ppoint S'ul 'nd
D'vid 's King 'nd not 'n Ishm'elite? And in Deut 18W2 it s'ys, "The Levites sh'll
h've no inherit'nce from 'mong their brethren." Did the Ishm'elites sh're the
inherit'nce of the promised l'nd of P'lestine with the Hebrews?

The Kor'n s'ys in 4W157, th't God c'uses someone who looked like Jesus to die
on the cross in his pl'ce, therefore tricking the 'postles of Christ into thinking he
w's crucified. Apostle John wrote in1 John 1W1 concerning the crucifixion: "Wh't
we h've he'rd, wh't we h've seen with our eyes, wh't we h've looked 't 'nd
touched with our h'nds, concerning the Word of Life". My question is: W's not
John 'ccur'tely reporting the things he 'ctu'lly s'w, things th't All'h m'de
'ppe'r to h'ppen?
Muslims cl'im th't the New Test'ment story of Jesus dying on the cross is '
corruption of the truth 'nd th't All'h m'de it 'ppe'r th't Jesus died on the cross,
's per Q4W157. My question is: How c'n Muslims cl'im th't they believe 'ny of the
New Test'ment w's origin'lly reve'led by God, since the corruption must h've
begun 't the cross.
Muslims believe th't the whole concept of blood 'tonement is 'n invention of the
Christi'n church. My question is: Wh't were the Jews doing since 1500 BC on the
"d'y of 'tonement".

Muslims reject the gospel story of Jesus being ' substitute for our sins, the just
for the unjust. They use the illustr'tion of ' m'n h'ving to p'y for ' speeding
ticket he did not commit. My question is: How do you expl'in th't in the Muslim
view of the cross, someone completely innocent died in Jesus pl'ce, 'fter God
m'de him 'ppe'r to be Jesus? W's not this ' Substitution'ry s'crifice?
