To: Son Of The Godfather
Ask him what he thinks of virtually contemporaneous historical texts (Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, chapter 15, verses 3-11--making reference to the faith affirmation of Christians that goes back to just a couple of years after the death of resurrection of Jesus) that give strong historical evidence that Jesus of Nazareth did in fact die, was buried, and was seen gloriously alive by many hundreds of people.

Ask him why Islam refuses to subject the Koran to historical-critical and literary-critical scrutiny.

Ask him why the Koran affirms certain things about Jesus (e.g., that Jesus never died on the cross), when many texts from earliest Christianity (see above, for example) affirm just the opposite.

Not only from earliest Christianity, but eye-witness accounts (Matthew and John) to boot. How can the Koran seriously refute eye witness accounts?
