Let Us Reason - A Christian/muslim Dialogue

Al Fadi talks about Ramadan with two x-Muslims; Daughter of Christ and Nasser Qahtani.  They share their memories of food and family.  Daughter of Christ share the struggles of having to work and not eating or drinking all day, while Nasser remembers switching eating and drinking at night and sleeping during the day in Saudi Arabia which was more accommodating for Ramadan.  They contrast that with what Jesus said about fasting of not showing off that you are fasting.

Al Fadi and David Wood discuss the three challenges that Islam raises against Christianity, Muslim who are seeking the truth, and for the world.  They highlight the biblical response to each challenge.  1. Islam contradicts the core beliefs of Christianity; Jesus's is not the Son of God, He did not die on the cross, and others.  2. Muslims who believe in Jesus had to give up their families.  3. They also believe in the violent subjugation of the world.  Al and David also discuss the psychology of Mohammad which made him who he was and consequently affected the way he treated women.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David wood and Al Fadi  discuss the treatment of women in Muslim majority countries in light of International Women Day.  David talks about two different studies by two different organizations who studied the status of women in many countries and found out that Muslim majority countries rank the worse.  From physical violence to the percentage of women who are married and divorced by the age of sixteen.  They also point out that Mecca is the sexual assault capital of the world, and most of that happens during the Hajj pilgrimage.

Al and Mel continue their conversation to say that the founders of the Ta'i tribe were Persians not Arabs, and that the Arabs were the soldiers.  The word Qurashi; which Muslims believe was Mohammad's tribe is a Persian name.  They discuss Chinese historical sources which talk about a king with a black stone; who Mel thinks is Elias ibn Qabisah (Mohammad).  A proof of the strong Persian leadership also comes from the three kalifs named Yazeed I ,II, III,(first ,second and third), which undermine the Islamic tradition.  They also briefly discuss when  alcohol was banned in Islam.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi talks to Mel from sneakers Corner about who Mohammad really was.  1. Mel believes that the story of Mohammad has been fabricated and been built up over a number of decades.  He also believes that the story is loosely based on a character called; Elias Ibn Qabisah Al- Ta'i ; the leader of the Ta'i tribe.  2. The geography of Islam is all wrong and it does not start in Hijaz, Saudi Arabia.  Early seventh century sources points to Iraq(NE of the Arabian Peninsula).  Listen to learn more fascinating details.

Al Fadi and David Wood discuss why is Paul under attack by the Muslims.  They say that Muslims are looking for someone to blame for Mohammad  getting so many things wrong about God and the Bible. When Muslims attack the council of Nicaea you should know that they are making things up. When we get to our time; Muslims start noticing that the teaching of Paul does not line up with the teaching of Islam.  We can trace all the doctrines of Christianity back to the first century.  We know that Paul is more reliable than Mohammad because: 1. Paul is smarter than Mohammad; Paul knew the old testament ,Paul also went up to Jerusalem and compared his revelations with those who knew Jesus.  Mohammad did not compare his revelations with Jews and Christians.  2. Mohammad justified his immorality by introducing more revelations. While Paul  knew he was wrong when he persecuted Christians and repented. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi is talking with Mel from "Sneakers Corner" about who the real Mohammad is.  It does not agree with the traditional Islamic teaching that Mohammad came from Mecca and then moved to Medina where he died.  Mel says that Arabia was not what we call today Saudi Arabia.  The Romans had Arabia divided into three regions: 1. North, Arabia Petraea.  2. South, Arabia Felix.  3. Middle; Arabia Deserta .  Mel also points out that Mohammad was from the Taiia tribe who migrated to the old Nabataean kingdom(Petra).  Listen to learn more details.

Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun continue to discuss why Jesus is superior to Mohammad according to the Quran.  They discuss some hadith(Bukhari and Muslim) that talks about how Mary's mother prayed to God to protect Mary and Jesus from Satan.  They also discuss briefly reason #4 that the Quran says that Jesus is God's word and a spirit from God. In contrast the Quran talks that Mohammad is imperfect and a sinner in need of forgiveness. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun use the Quran to show that Jesus is superior to Mohammad.  They don't believe that the Quran is the word of God, but they follow Paul's example in reaching out to people. These Characteristics are: 1. Jesus's maternal family were the  greatest creatures.  2. Jesus's mother was the greatest woman, and the only woman mentioned by name.  3. Jesus and His mother are absolutely sinless and pure.  4.Jesus is the pre-existent  word of God.  5. Jesus was conceived and born of a virgin. 6. Jesus created things.  7. Jesus went back to God where he came from.  Not so Mohammad who does not fit any of these characteristics. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun continue their discussion about how Muslim traditions consider Mohammad as the perfect man, even though the Quran does not support that and it says that Mohammad was a sinner;(Q74:1-5,93:6-7 ) are two examples.  On the other hand , the Quran specifically mentions that both Jesus and His mother Mary are sinless;(Q3:42).  Tune in to learn more details. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and Sam Shamoun discuss the doctrine of Ismah, which teaches that the prophets are sinless and even if they sin they are miraculously forgiven.  Sam goes on to show verses from the Quran that teaches that prophets sinned and they are asking for forgiveness from Adam to Mohammad Except Jesus who was sinless.  Sam thinks that this doctrine came to be to try and make Mohammad more comparable to Jesus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi gives a detailed update on the different shows he has done and is in the process of releasing about Islam, the Quran and Mohammad.  He has different guests, among them are Sam Shamoun, David Wood, Jay Smith and many others. He also mentions that the new officially released Arabic video series called" Nahj al Sabeel".  The whole purpose of all is to let Muslims check the truth and think on their own beliefs in hope to come to a saving knowledge of the Lord.

Al Fadi and David wood continue their conversation about more reasons why atheist Muslims have trouble with Mohammad moral character . 3. Wife beating. They ask the question , on what basis is it alright to beat your wife?  4. killing the apostates. Mohammad ordered the execution of whoever leaves his religion. Listen for more detailed information.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Al Fadi and David wood discuss why do atheist Muslims think that Mohammad was wrong in his moral behavior, giving two examples from the life of Mohammad.  1.. Mohammad marring Ayesha at age 9, before the age of puppetry.  2. Mohammad marrying his adopted son's wife and abolishing adoption. They say that these atheist had no foundation for why it is wrong, because these practices could be acceptable in certain societies and not in others. Listen to the conversation to learn more.

Al Fadi and David wood are discussing the question that many Christians complain about David's way of criticizing,( Mocking) Islam and Mohammad. David say that it is one way of challenging Muslims to what they believe. And that the Bible has many examples in the Old Testament, ie, Elijah mocking the prophets of Baal.   And In the New Testament Jesus was harder on the Pharisees and called them white washed tombs.  It is okay to mock people who are idol worshipers, oppressor, and religious leaders who are leading others astray.
