Answering Islam - A Christian-Muslim dialog

  • The Greatest Deceiver of them All

    Would you trust somebody who openly boasts to be a skilled deceiver? It should be disturbing to Muslims and non-Muslims alike that the Qur'an speaks of Allah as deceiving and misleading others in about a dozen passages. If this is indeed part of the character of Allah, how can the Qur'an be trusted?

  • A Common Word ...

    In October 2007, a group of 138 Muslim scholars, clerics and intellectuals sent an open letter, titled A Common Word Between Us and You, to the Pope and other Christian leaders. This letter has received many responses and much praise. What is it about? What are these Muslims offering? What are they looking for?

  • Deuteronomy Deductions

    Muslims appeal to Deuteronomy 18:15-19 as their primary example of a Biblical prophecy about Muhammad. Yet the very next verse declares that anyone who either delivers a revelation that doesn’t come from God or speaks in the names of false gods must be a false prophet. Interestingly, Muhammad did both when he revealed the infamous “Satanic Verses.” Thus, according to Deuteronomy 18, Muhammad can’t possibly be a true messenger of God. Have Muslims inadvertently trapped themselves by granting that this passage is inspired by God, when it declares that Muhammad was a false prophet?

  • Who is the Unlettered Prophet?

    Sura 7 speaks of an "unlettered prophet" who is mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel. Muslims have traditionally understood this as a reference to Muhammad. This article presents a careful examination of the characteristics mentioned in Sura 7 and comes to a surprising conclusion.
