I’ve proven Islam true, allegedly

Someone wrote to me with a link that claims my evaluation of the claim that Mecca is at the golden-ratio centre of the Earth actually proves Islam is true, rather than that the claim is bogus. They asked me to look at the two following items, were my video is mentioned: https://www.answering-christianity.com/middle_nation_miracle.htm https://www.answering-christianity.com/middle_nation_miracle.mp4 I decided to write my reply here for public viewing. Here it is: First the page 1: “Middle way” The words are Ummtan = A community (accusative […]

Quran corrects 6 scientific errors in the bible – Claim 1

This is the second post in a series where I exchange arguments about the Quran with Nadir Ahmed. The introduction can be found here. Nadir’s arguments can be found in full here. “Mustard Seed in the Quran and Bible” (Kingdom of God) It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest seed you plant in the ground. Mark 4:30-32 31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and […]

Quran corrects 6 scientific errors in the bible – Introduction

Following my recent upload of a debate between myself and Nadir Ahmed (from many years ago), Nadir emailed me and suggested we do another. I suggested instead we exchanged written arguments that we could publish on our blogs. Nadir agreed, and sent me a document outlining an argument that the Quran corrects at least 6 errors that occur in the Bible. Nadir’s arguments can be found in full here. I’ve decided to split this blog into 7 parts. Each part […]

iERA are back on the Scientific Miracles band wagon

You may recall members of the online atheist community (Captain Disguise, Stop1Spamming, PZ Myers and myself) set about ridiculing the iERA’s claims that the Quran contained “Scientific Miracles”, accurate information that pre-dates scientific discovery by over a millennia. Finally it seems that iERA saw the error of their ways and decided to drop that narrative. Of course, the narrative wasn’t dropped until they could think up a way of being right after all; in summary the approach is “Science is […]

Does Islam need a reformation? – iERA: Don’t hate, debate!

I recently attended a discussion in London hosted by iERA. It was entitled “Does Islam need a reformation?”  I was pleased that, as I expected, the iERA crew were very friendly with me. The whole video can be watched here. If I recall correctly, the discussion basically went like this Question about Islam Answer: Islam is already great, if we did more of it then everything would be brilliant. PS, look at how bad the non-Islamic world is (a.k.a. “The […]

Al Andalus and the golden age of Islam (Convivencia)

I’ve just read this cringe worthy article by Mehdi Hasan. Then there is Ayaan Hirsi Ali. The Somali-born author, atheist and ex-Muslim has a new book called Heretic: Why Islam Needs a Reformation Now. She’s been popping up in TV studios and on op-ed pages to urge Muslims, both liberal and conservative, to abandon some of their core religious beliefs while uniting behind a Muslim Luther. I have not read Ayaan’s book so I don’t know exactly what the core […]

Abdullah Al Andalusi, BBC The Big Questions and Islamic apostasy

Abdullah Al Andalusi was a guest on BBC’s The Big Questions show this Sunday (15th of March 2015, Series 8 episode 10) to discuss the subject “Do British Muslims have a problem with apostates?”  He was clearly unhappy with how things went on the show and was quick to write a blog post criticising reviewing the experience. I thought I would criticise his criticisms review his review. I’ve just finished the BBC ‘Big Questions’ program. It was, as expected, an anti-Islam […]

Just for the record – Memorising the Quran

During a discussion with a guy named Shabir he proposed the Quran was a unique book because it had been learned off by heart by so many people.  He argued this was because it’s divine author had deliberately made it easy to learn. Although he said he didn’t think this proved the divine origin of the book he argued that it begs the question. Obviously this is non-sequitur. If the book is easy to learn it doesn’t prove anything other […]

Scorning the Prophet is an act of violence – Tim Winters in The Telegraph

Tim Winters, also known as Abdal Hakim Murad, is a British Muslim theologian and broadcaster. To some he might only be known for video footage in which he explains how homosexuality is an “inherent aberration” and how homosexuals themselves are “ignorant people who don’t know what their bodies are for” (See here) The video footage is 15-20 years old and Timothy Winters has apologised for the offence caused by his statements and has distanced himself from them, although I’ve yet […]
