  • Refut­ing Mis­in­ter­pre­ta­tions : Homo­sex­u­al­i­ty in the Con­text of Islam­ic Teachings

    In the usual vein of missionary tradition, the missionaries have made a rather pathetic attempt at "refuting" one of our articles which shows the Bible perversion in encouraging homosexuality. Previously, we have shown in another exposition how the so-called "apostle" from Tarsus had displayed some homosexual tendencies. In the later part of this article, we…

  • Hans Kung’s The­o­log­i­cal Rubicon

    In Hans Kung's address to this conference he has once again proven himself a pioneer of interreligious dialogue. What he has been doing throughout most of his theological career, he was doing again-exploring new territory, raising new questions in the encounter of Christianity with other religions. Although Kung made his greatest contribution in the inner-Christian,…

  • Islam and Chris­tian­i­ty : Dia­tribe or Dialogue ?

    This is not the place to review the history of Christian-Muslim relations. This history may now be read in the erudite works of Norman Daniel. The reading is sad and agonizing. The conclusion which may be safely drawn from this history is that Christianity's involvement with the Muslim World was so full of misunderstanding, prejudice,…

  • The Three Dif­fer­ent Jesuses

    (I) JESUS IN JUDAISM * LIFE : - Estab­lish­ing the time of the ​“Jew­ish Jesus”: The ref­er­ence to Jesus in the Tal­mud is by the title : ​“Yeshu Ha-Notzri,” but accord­ing to Jew­ish chronol­o­gy, he lived at the time when Joshua Ben Per­akhyah led the San­hedrincir­ca 150 BCE ; see, for instance, San­hedrin 107b and, there­fore, pre­dat­ed Jesus accord­ing…

  • Lessons In The Sto­ry of Jesus, The Son of Mary And His Most Blessed Mother

    This great mission is that, among the major signs of the final Hour and among the keys of the huge deliverance that will dawn upon this Community of Islam there will come a time on this earth when the call to the pre-morning prayer will be raised in Damascus -- at the white minaret East…

  • Who is Jesus : Did He Die” For the Sins of Mankind ?

    TRINITY Basic claim is that the Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Ghost are equal­ly one — and are all GOD There­fore, Jesus IS God. CRUCIFIXION Chris­tians believe that Jesus/​God died on the cross for our sins. It is well known to all Major Reli­gions that GOD can NOT die. (1 Tim.6:16) If Jesus did ?die ? we see a clear con­tra­dic­tion…

  • Mus­lim Pas­sion for The Christ

    Mus­lim Pas­sion for The Christ

    Like every­one else, I was warned about the blood and vio­lence, and braced for it. But the bit about the Eng­lish sub­scripts must have slipped my mind. One unex­pect­ed thing I got out of watch­ing ​“The Pas­sion of the Christ” is its affir­ma­tion that Jesus nev­er uttered the word ​“God”. Instead, he called upon the Cre­ator using…

  • Lying in Christianity

    Lying in Christianity

    To find the Chris­t­ian mis­sion­ar­ies accus­ing Mus­lims of exem­pli­fy­ing lying is total­ly amus­ing, to say the least, as the doc­trine of taqiyyah is exclu­sive­ly a Shi’ite doc­trine which is held onto by a mere 8% — 10% out of the total 1.3 bil­lion Mus­lim pop­u­la­tion around the world, the major­i­ty of whom are over­whelm­ing­ly Sun­ni. A refu­ta­tion of the doc­trine…
