To engage in a war of ideas,
  1. understand your opponents' thinking;
  2. work to convince your opponents' thinking class of the truth, so that they will lead their less intellectual majority toward truth;
  3. work over a long term, for generations, to convince your opponents of the truth; but, most importantly,
  4. understand the truth yourself.

Islam's god is unknowable, and if you try to know him you're in deep trouble. They revere Mohammed because they believe that their god decided to let Mohammed know a few things, and they're supposed to follow what they think Mohammed learned...even the most devout Muslim isn't sure that Mohammed is even right.

Islam is experiential. No matter how much we quote what the Koran says, Muslims only go by what they feel. One of the reasons there's Jihadism, is that many of the Muslims in the West have tried the secular lifestyle and find it empty...they try to be more devout Muslims and find THAT empty as well (like all men who live without Christ). This makes them susceptible to Imams and Ayatollahs that tell them the emptiness in their heart and their unfulfilled desires are because of other people (women, Jews, Americans, dogs, pork, etc.), and that to become fulfilled they have to enslave or destroy these people.

On the other hand, the God of the Christians WANTS man to know Him and His will for our lives. He WANTS a relationship with us, one that is intimate, personal, and He only has our good at heart.

“allah” is not the God of Abraham and Robin. You and your teacher are talking past each other.

allah is the moon god. allah is not the God of the Holy Bible. There is no resemblance or connection between the two.

Because the god of Islam is a hateful, vengeful god, there is no true salvation in him, nor is there any peace...of mind or anything else.It is a warrior/conquest religion, authored by Satan, not God, who wants to destroy the earth before Christ returns. They believe our Christ is the antichrist and we see their Mahdi as our antichrist.

Islam has been a religion of conquest, by whatever means possible, since its inception, so this drivel about it being a religion of peace is BS!

God’ dictates are not malleable to man’s objectives, regardless of how much evil men may wish it so.

It sounds like God wants us to question Him.

This shows up numerous times in the Bible. Jacob wrestling with God, Gideon's fleece, Moses reminding God of His promises, Hezekiah's complaint when told he was going to die, the Gentile mother who tells Jesus that dogs eat the crumbs from their master's table, Mary questioning Gabriel, "doubting" Thomas...and that's only a few. The true God wants to relate with us, to speak with--not "to," not "at," with--Him, as a man speaks with his friend.

The problem with Christianity is that it is sold as a cheap bauble, a boring meeting on Sundays, when it provides the Glory beyond the universe. If people genuinely understood the promises and the claims of Christ and His salvation, they would never even consider another way.

God is not a savage.

The Privileged Planet is a great video.

I wonder about posing this simple argument to a Muslim, though it might only work on those still capable of some rational thought. How is it that their perfect god created so many things that are intrinsically unclean, even to touch(not merely unhealthy to eat). It belies his perfection.
