David Wood vs. Ali Ataie: "Who Was Muhammad?"

Here's a debate I did a long time ago at the University of California. The topic was "Who Was Muhammad? The Christian and Muslim Perspectives." If you'd like to have some fun while you're watching the debate, pull out a piece of paper and try writing down Ali's arguments for the Prophethood of Muhammad. You'll need about one line.

David,

Is it just me or is there no audio?

anakrinontes_tas_graphas said...

Martyr Maker said...

David, Well sir. Is there a way I can get your email. I have something I want to email you.

David Wood said...

Are you going to make me a martyr?

Dk said...

lol David

Martyr Maker said...

LOL, no I'm not going to make you a martyr. I should change the nick its a old one from the days after 9-11. Its in response to the muslim claim that they "love death more then we love life"

Surprisingly I dont have a problem with muslims loving death more then I love life. Actualy I'm very happy that I love life. As God says "If you love death then you hate me"

I can't get audio.

David Wood said...

There's a little volume bar on the screen. I don't know what could be the problem apart from that.

Dk said...

Did I hear David say ver batim in the debate that Jesus said the OT was wrong?

David Wood said...

I've never watched the debate (or any of my debates, really), but I can't imagine myself saying that. When did I say it?

Yahya Hayder Seymour said...

lol Do you cringe at hearing your own voice too David?

David Wood said...

Yes.

Bassam said...

David, do you find certain things from the Old Testament "disturbing"?

David Wood said...

Yes. Not as disturbing as I find certain things in Islam, but yes.

Martyr Maker said...

I can't see the videos. I've tried IE7 and Firefox. I've downloaded the lateste Adobe Flash Player and it's still just empty white frames. Any suggestions? (I can see all of the YouTube and GoogleVideo videos.)
