Quote:One simple example is how so many Muslims challenge Christians with a statement like, "You all don't even have the original Bible anymore; how can you know what was there?"
But then, I think.... "Well, neither do Muslims have the original Quran. They have COPIES of the original, same as us." How can something be demanded of us that they can't produce themselves. The Quran is not as old as the OT or NT, yet they can't produce an original either.
we have the exact copy of Al-Qur'an, in the exact same language, exact words (each and every of them), exact way to read it and of course exact meaning. we don't have hundreds of versions of Al-Qur'an, which are different from each other, just only ONE VERSION OF AL-QUR'AN, the one revealed 1400yrs ago.
Quote:Another example is that many introductory articles/books about Islam talk about how it is the "pure religion" or the only "reasonable, rational religion there is" with no myths or superstitions... But then I read that Muslims believe in the "evil eye" and that there are special prayers you must say to avoid the effects of it, or that black dogs are devils, and some Muslims even wear charms of sort to ward off evil. These practices all contradict the idea that there are no myths/supersitions in Islam. This is an example of what I mean when I say contradictions.
show me where in the Qur'an mentioning about these superficial things? when you saw some muslims wearing charms, that doesn't mean that they're following Islamic teaching, charms are forbidden in Islam.
Quote:And PLEASE everyone, I brought this up only to clarify myself a bit more; I am IN NO WAY INTERESTED in discussing the authenticity of the Bible.
so do i, i'm only interested in Al-Qur'an, that's why i'm asking you to list the contradictions in Al-Qur'an. if you can't or don't want to, it's better if you never mention about it.
