Jesus Calls Zakir Naik "Satan"!

Zakir Naik and Ahmed Deedat popularized a silly argument claiming that the "Sign of Jonah" would be that Jesus would miraculously survive crucifixion. However, when we read one of the chapters where Jesus talks about the Sign of Jonah, we find Jesus calling Peter "Satan" for claiming that Jesus would not die on the cross. If Jesus called Peter "Satan" for rejecting his death by crucifixion, how can Naik and Deedat expect us to believe that Jesus was telling his followers that he would survive crucifixion?

Gary Habermas: Contemporary Muslim Apologetics and the Resurrection of Christ

Muhammad, the founder of Islam, said that Jesus never died on the cross, never rose from the dead, and never claimed to be Lord. Muslim apologists have made valiant attempts to defend Muhammad's assertions, but the facts of history simply can't be seriously disputed here. In this lecture, Dr. Gary Habermas, one of the world's leading experts on the historical facts surrounding Jesus' death and resurrection, evaluates some common arguments of Muslim apologists (such as Ahmed Deedat).

Nadir Ahmed, Ahmed Deedat, and the Curse of God

As we've seen, Nadir Ahmed claims that Allah struck Shabir Ally's son blind because Shabir believes that Jesus was nailed to a cross. It's clear to everyone that Nadir is attacking Shabir because of envy and jealousy. Yet Nadir maintains that he is simply being consistent. That is, since he gladly declares that people like me have been cursed by Allah, he must be consistent and claim that people like Shabir have also been cursed.

So which explanation of Nadir's horrendous actions is correct? Is Nadir attacking Shabir out of envy? Or is he attacking Shabir because he wants to be consistent?

There is a simple way to prove that Nadir is acting from jealousy, and it has been noted by two contributors in our comments section (one Christian and one Muslim). If Nadir is really consistent, he will have to proclaim that Ahmed Deedat was also cursed by God. Deedat, like Shabir Ally, embraced Swoon Theory and helped popularize it among Muslims. In 1996, Deedat suffered a stroke that left him paralyzed and unable to speak or swallow for the rest of his life.

Is Nadir willing to say that Deedat was cursed by Allah? Of course not. Even Nadir wouldn't dare to say such a thing. This proves, conclusively, that he isn't attacking Shabir from consistency, but from a desire to bring down apologists who are obviously better and more famous than he is.

Is This Guy a Muslim or a Jehovah's Witness?

A man who calls himself "Ozzycda" has attempted to respond to James White's refutation of Deedat. Ozzycda tries to refute James's translation of John 1:1, yet anyone who paid attention for a single semester of Greek can see right through this response:



And James responds:

James White Responds to Ahmed Deedat: Part One

This really bothers me. Deedat was one of the top Muslim apologists of the 20th century, yet he obviously makes no attempt to give his listeners accurate information about Christianity. I am appalled when Christian apologists misrepresent Islam. Yet when Muslim apologists misrepresent Christianity, Muslims just don't seem to care.
