Does Allah Commit Shirk by Inappropriate Swearing?

David Wood has a video in which he makes the point that using Muslim standards, Allah himself would be guilty of the Islamic sin of shirk:

I would like to add a brief further point. People normally swear by something greater than themselves. Thus, because there is nothing greater than God, the true God swore by himself: Hebrews 6:13-16 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, saying, "Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee." And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. But Allah in the Koran repeatedly swears by lots of other things. May I encourage my Muslim friends to consider that perhaps this is evidence that the Allah of the Koran is not real, for if he were real he would swear only by himself. -TurretinFan

Who Killed Mohammed?

David Wood has a powerful new video:

The video makes a serious point, although it uses a lot of "pop culture" clips.  It's the sort of video that would get David Wood in a lot of trouble in Muslim countries. Hopefully our Muslim friends, relatives, and neighbors will consider the serious point, notwithstanding the fact that the video is critical of Mohammed and his claim to be a prophet.

Dearborn Evangelism Outrage Update

David Wood has a message for the Chief of Police in Dearborn, MI, where Christian evangelists were allegedly persecuted for evangelizing (link to message). I don't mean this link as an endorsement of anything or anyone. I think it is important for folks who may only have heard the Muslim side of the story to hear the side of the arrested evangelists. If the allegations are true, there is a serious problem in Dearborn.

Dr. White's Most Recent Debate - Audio Posted

The recent James White and David Wood debates on Islam have been posted (apparently in their entireties) to the web. I have posted these without listening to them first, so I may update this page, once I have listened to them, for caveats etc.

Is Muhammed a Prophet?

Debate between David Wood and Jalal Abualrub(April 12, 2008)


Does The Bible Teach That Jesus Is God?
Debate between Jalal Abualrub and James White (April 12, 2008)


Given that Jalal had claimed that he owned the rights to the videos ("I own rights to these videos which we recorded using a TV camera."), and given that he had stated that they would be freely available, I assume that the following links are to authorized download sites for the debates.

The debates are in MP3 format. It's not clear to me how long these debates will remain posted. For now, a link to the source mp3s for the debate is below.

"Is Muhammed a Prophet?"

"Does the Bible Teach that Jesus is God?"

May our Lord God and Saviour, Jesus Christ be praised!
