The British Daily Mail today featured an entire page of photos from around the Muslim world documenting the Shia holy day of Ashura. Devotees self-flagellate with whips, chains, and knives, seeking to cover themselves in their own blood, an act called tatbir. This year’s observance has been greatly increased in fervor by the “Muhammad Cartoon” farce (note that there are

As I head out this morning for my flight to Heathrow I caught a segment on the Today show on NBC regarding The Da Vinci Code. I couldn’t help but compare and contrast the response Christians have had to this deeply blasphemous attack upon the very heart of their faith and a dozen small cartoons featuring Mohammed and the response

I have mentioned the on-going process over the past few months, but I can now confirm the following: Is the New Testament We Possess Today Inspired? James White Affirms Shabir Ally Denies Saturday, May 6th, Biola University Gymnasium Los Angeles, California Of course, it is my hope that this will be the first of a number of debates with Mr.

Are these Muslims burning an embassy merely “radicals” or is there something about the very core and heart of Islam that gives rise to this kind of behavior? What kind of spirit leads people to wish to behead someone for drawing a caricature that, let’s be honest, is significantly less insightful than say, the picture of the father carrying his

The pictures do speak for themselves. Where is the counter demonstration from the “majority of peaceful Muslims”?           And I see the State Department of the United States has also condemned the cartoons…could someone link me to where they condemn the blasting of Christianity, the Bible, Jesus Christ, etc., that takes place daily in almost all of our newspapers?

Citations of early Christian writers are notoriously popular on

In our last installment we quoted the source used (uncritically) by Islamic apologists, Bart Ehrman, regarding John 20:28. It needs to be understood (as evidently it is not by those citing him) that Ehrman is not foolish enough to try to argue that the original reading of John 20:28 is anything other than what we have in our texts today,

Let’s briefly refute the assertions made by Deedat and Abdullah noted in the first post in this series. Note that Deedat repeated these errors ad nauseum: as far as I can tell, he never accepted correction on these issues, but repeated the same errors throughout his entire life.    1) “The context of the verse talks about an unbelieving Thomas being

Let’s inject just a little truth into the discussion of John 20:28 before looking at the amazing claims of Islam’s apologists and then trace them back to their source in Bart Ehrman. The meaning of this text has been clearly understood from the start. Only a tremendous prejudice and bias could cause any person to miss the intention of John,
