The apparent inability of some of your readers to pick out Shorrosh's numerous, obvious lies suggests a need for such an analysis on your part. I ubderstand there is ordinarily no reason to point out the sins of your coreligionists; but when speaking of someone who lives by his words, especially when those words are cast in the idiom of his religious ideals, honesty is extremely relevant. This is particularly true since the matter being propagated is one of these mendacious lists propagated by the anti-Islam industry which do so much harm to interfaith relations in my homeland and worldwide.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525213343278389508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775762753988840190.post-49415358533216619372016-12-09T10:28:40.725-08:002016-12-09T10:28:40.725-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12525213343278389508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775762753988840190.post-37331741133601519612015-12-21T08:25:39.118-08:002015-12-21T08:25:39.118-08:00Anis,before you die, remember this, "..Ashhad...Anis,before you die, remember this, "..Ashhadu Allah ilaaha Illallah,waa ashhadu annamuhammadar rasulullah.."

I am an Arab and a Muslim. And I read Dr. Anis's book: the Furkan. In Arabic: he simply took the Quraan text, changed it to reflect the beliefs of Christianity and called it the Furkan. Therefore, it is not a response to the challenge of the Quraan. The challenge is to produce a chapter or a book similar in its power and effect on people, its beauty in language, its content of laws, history, morals, ... etc. None of this is in Dr. Anis's book. He simply copied many verses from the Quraan and changed them to preach Christianty. As for Dr. Anis's list of the danger of Muslims on America, they are simply not true and should not have been said or written by a man of God (with all the differences between Islam and Christianity). Because people of God, who preach God's word, within any religion should always say the truth and not resort to tactics of stirring troubles for the innocent. Muslims in the US, and elsewhere, are simply people like all other people. They work, pay taxes, and raise their children. They accept the rule of law and respect and enjoy the freedoms offered to them by the US constitution. In fact, many Muslims who are member of political opposition groups in many Muslim countries opposing dictators are living the US (and other western countries) "BECAUSE" of the freedoms they lack in their own countries. <br /><br />A final word: September 11 and other acts of terrorism committed by Muslims, don't represent beliefs of any other Muslims. There is an estimated 5-6 million Muslims in the US, if 1% of them were even attempting to do whatever Dr. Anis has suggested, we would have been living in a very different America. It is a shame that a man of God utters such words of simple hatred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775762753988840190.post-28423503003865400292008-12-30T11:00:00.000-08:002008-12-30T11:00:00.000-08:00I am sure Dr Anis is a great man.

This is pure conspiracy thinking. <BR/><BR/>I do not like Islam, I am a Christian. But I want to love Muslims. That is difficult if you believe that they are conspiring. And it is not true either, in my opinion.John Stringerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16330961435344117811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775762753988840190.post-42859426178388382262008-12-30T08:11:00.000-08:002008-12-30T08:11:00.000-08:00Dr. Anis Shorrosh, Ph.D., was born in the home tow...Dr. Anis Shorrosh, Ph.D., was born in the home town of Jesus Christ. He has a deep scholarly understanding of Islam. By writing "The True Furquan", he has responded to Mohammed's sneering challenge to write a verse like his allegedly perfect Koran verses. Dr. Shorrosh has responded richly and written an entire book of such verses. <BR/><BR/>Apparently, Moslems think it is alright for Mohammed to sneer at infidels, but not alright for infidel to respond to the challenge. The rage of Moslems against the True Furqan is both bigotted and fallacious. <BR/><BR/>In the Koran, disagreeing with Mohammed is a political crime of incorrect thinking which must be punished by death. Dr. Shorrosh has proved that it is possible, if not easy to write verses similar to the verses in the Koran. This is threat to the Islamic presumption that Mohammed's challenge cannot be met.<BR/><BR/>Moslems are determined to denounce the successful response to Mohammed's challenge by calling it a "trick" (which it is not...it is an honest response to Mohammed) and by calling it a "fake" (which is an additional straw-man argument...it is a "re-interpretation" of New Testament ideas). These and other fallacious arguments do nothing to enhance the intellectual respectability of Moslems, but merely reveal them to be bigotted, homicidal, intolerant, and closed minded to the extent of being unable to have a coherent exchange of ideas. <BR/><BR/>This, no doubt, is a part of the Arab "honor" culture, in which reputation is more important than factual information. By telling lies about Dr. Shorrosh, rather than analyzing his book, Moslems show that their religion is not able to compete in the marketplace of ideas, but only suitable for primitive pre-modern peoples.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
