To Sam Shamoun and Jochen Katz

If you think that the Quran is a false book and that Muhammad was deceived by the devil, then instead of writing this stuff about me on your website, why not debate me? Even some Christians sent me emails apologizing for Shamoun's 'un-Christian' demeanor. Instead of debating me, lies are introduced: Where did I agree to debate `Ali Sina? I challenge you both to bring forth a single statement in which I stated that I wanted to debate Ali Sina. A copy of this email is also sent to Sina, and I hope that he will challenge your statement, because he knows it is untrue. I did not even post my correspondence with him on my website. Also, I specifically told him that my discussion with him was not a debate. All what I wanted from him is for him to say why he left Islam, a religion he admitted he did not embrace or learn at depth.

If you think that you are so righteous, Shamoun, and that you have become a scholar on Islam, then why not accept the challenge that still stands from me to you to an issue-by-issue debate so that you can demolish me and Islam at the same time. As for Jochen, his emails to me spoke of honor and that he was ready to be tested on this. Therefore, my question to him is: did you post my response to Wail Taghlibi as you hinted you would? Did you see me post my correspondence with you on my website so that you retaliate by doing the same? How can your site lie to your audience claiming that I did not want to debate Shamoun when you know that this is a lie and that I still challenge him to a debate but he won’t accept? Sam Shamoun has coward away from debate when he knew that it was on the basis of one issue at a time. He should show that he still has a shred of decency left in him and let the people know the truth, that I gave in to him on the topic, format and time of the debate, but he refused to debate me when he understood that I wanted him to mention one issue at a time. He knew then that this means he has to actually defend each of his cowardly statements about Islam in detail. He knows how weak he is with regards to any type of knowledge, especially Islam.

I advise you both to read my response to Wail Taghlibi; and know that soon, I will target another one of your articles on Islam and let the world decide who is right and who is wrong. As for `Ali Sina, he will also receive a response from me on his hilarious fake trial of Muhammad, peace be upon him. What liars: I did not even contemplate debating `Ali Sina because by reading his stuff, I realized that he poses no threat to this religion at all. It seems to me that what’s killing him is what’s killing you both: no matter how vocal you become against Islam, and how much aggression the Christians can direct at Islam, this religion still spreads steadily and especially in the West. I want you to hear this good news, only a few days ago, a man declared that he converted from Christianity to Islam and sited disgust with you, Evangelists, as a major reason for his decision.

Lies and distortions will not help your religion. You must tackle the core beliefs of Islam as compared to yours if you stand any chance to convince your own fellow Christians, let alone Muslims and the rest of the world, that your religion is even remotely correct. It is clear that you feel danger to your ‘complex’ faith coming from the plain Islamic Faith, and this shakes you to the ground because you know you cannot resist the advance of Islam or prevent the decline of your religion. You know how weak your faith is and how your holy books are full of contradictions and plainly false stories. But lies will not help you, Truth will. Why can’t you stop worshipping men and start worshipping the Creator of all men, Who was not begotten nor does He beget, and there is none like Him?

I would be happy to discuss Islam with you. I am sure through discussion truth will be shown.

Although truth is one and infinite, we humans are many and each one of us has his or her own perception of the truth and our perceived truths are finite and vary from person to person. Each one of us is limited by his/her circumstances and sees the reality from a different vantage point. Because the vantage points are different, our perceptions are accordingly different. We stand in different spots and each one of us sees a different panorama. What we see is not necessarily false. It is only partially true. If we talk together and learn about each others’ views we keep learning more and amplify our understanding of reality. It is not realistic to think one day we will know all the truth, but by exchanging our different view points we can learn and understand more.

Understanding this is important. It makes me humble and to realize that no matter how much I learn, there is still more to learn and I can never grasp the entire truth. The big Truth is unattainable. We as finite creatures can never attain the infinite reality. Just as it is ludicrous to say we have found the knowledge; it is equally absurd to say we can find the truth. Finding the truth, like finding the knowledge is a process. Since truth cannot be reached, it is the journey that counts not the destination.

Why this is important? It is important because once we know that the truth that we as humans can grasp is relative, we become less arrogant and more tolerant of views that do not match with ours. We become conscious of the fact that others may also possess part of the truth. This outlook makes us more tolerant towards others.

My battle is not about the truth. It really does not matter to me if someone wants to believe in a two headed dragon or an eight armed deity. My fight is about living in peace and bringing love and unity to mankind. Truth therefore to me is very practical. If your religion teaches you to be kind, loving and forgiving I consider that religion to be true. The purpose of religion is to make us better human beings. Likewise, if a religion promotes hate and disunity among the people, makes one group feel excelled over others by virtue of their faith, makes them despise those who do not believe in it, calls them impure, tries to subdue and humiliate them or wage war against them and kills them, that religion can’t be true. It is a satanic religion and it must be combated and eliminated.

I don’t say that Christ was a messenger of God, but many things that he said or are attributed to him are good and wise words. He said “ye shall know them by their fruits”. This is my yardstick to determine which religion is true and which ones are false. If a religion advocates hate and incites its followers to kill others, I know instinctively that this religion is false because its fruits are bitter.

God can’t be cruel, unjust, whimsical and unforgiving. These are not divine qualities, these are satanic qualities. So if any religion has a god with these characteristics, that religion is demonic not divine. Based on what I see in the Quran and learn from the examples of Muhammad I came to realize that the god of Islam is not the real God of this universe. Muhammad either made up the whole thing, fabricated a god to fool people and take advantage of their gullibility or he was directed by Satan.

As for Christianity, it really does not matter to me whether they believe in trinity and whether trinity is a logical fallacy or not. I go to Christian churches and I meet people who smile and shake hands. Who share good moments with each other and sometimes have a Sunday lunch together, and I feel there is love in the air. They talk about projects to help people, young boys and girls volunteer to do missionary work and improve the lives of someone in other countries and I like that. I like that “Christian spirit” of fellowship and love. When I go to mosques, I hear the khotba and it is filled with hate. All the Mullahs or Imams have to say (and they quote the Quran) is how

Muslims should dislike others; how Allah hates those who do not submit to him, how Muslims are superior and others are filth. I look at the faces of the young boys and I see anger. By reading the Quran and by listening to the Mullahs they do not become better people, they become dangerous, ready to kill someone. Apart from all theological and philosophical arguments, my gut feeling says Islam is demonic.

I would be delighted to discuss Islam with you. I am not going to talk about my gut feelings with you. I am going to bring rational arguments. This is another weak spot in Muslim scholars. Recently I debated with Mr. Edip Yuksel, the leader of the Submitters aka 19ers. After the third round, he stopped debating altogether. Instead he posted pieces from his book and then made a psychoanalysis of me, he falsely accused me of using hadith to disprove the Quran, he threatened to start a lawsuit against me, he quoted what my critics wrote against me and finally issued a “prophecy” that by February 19th something is going to happen to me that not even the Bodyguards and the FBI can protect me. Who knows, maybe he is into voodoo or something. These have nothing to do with our discussion of the Quran.

I would be more than glad to discuss Islam with you and I hope we remain on the subject and leave the psychoanalysis of each other to the experts. So I am ready to debate with you anytime you are ready.
