If you're not convinced by the proves, let's see some of them : I've read them. I don't think I need to go into them. Each one of them is what one would call a 'argumentum ad populum', and not real points. |

Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) (Salallahu ‘alayhi wa salam, meaning: May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was Allâh's great Prophet and Messenger like Jesus, the Son of Mary. The Prophet's mission, however, is universal. Allah (S.W.T.) (Subhanahu wa ta’ala, meaning: the Exalted, Most Glorious) tells mankind that Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) is no more than a Messenger (Qur’an 3: 144), the unlettered Prophet who believes in Him and His Words (Qur’an 7: 158). He is the Seal of the Prophets and the true universal Messenger of Allâh to the whole mankind (Qur’an 33: 40). Allah (S.W.T.), the All-Mighty, makes this very clear: "We have not sent you (O Muhammad) but as a universal (Messenger) to men giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin) but most men understand not." (Qurân 34: 28 |

First of all on the subject of Muhammed and his contact with other religions, here is something I found:
Islam: Truth or Myth? start page
Muhammad learned monotheism from Christians Muslims today believe the myth that Muhammad introduced monotheism to the area around Mecca and Arabia in general. The truth is that Muhammad got tired of the Christians constantly preaching monotheism to him fellow Arabs, knowing in his heart, that they were correct in their criticism of Arab paganism. There can be little doubt that Christians, in their evangelism of the are around Mecca, charged the Arabs with paganism and polytheism. Christians criticized those worshipping 260 pagan gods at the Kabah and offered Christianity as a far superior monotheistic religion. In his heart, Muhammad knew the Christians were right and had a better religion of monotheism. But some Muslims today, are totally ignorant of the fact that monotheism was widely preached before, during and after the rise of Muhammad, by the Christians. It was a well known theology and the Arabs were familiar with it. Amazingly, today Muslims criticize as polytheists, the very one’s who taught Muhammad about monotheism! By the time Muhammad came along, the pagan Arabs were ripe for conversion to Monotheism because of the preaching of Christians.

As I said before, prophet mohamed left two time, the first when he was kid, and the secound for trade,and in both of cases he travelled with some poeple, not alone, and they could notice something is it would. He made these contacts with other religions during these travels, also by talking with other people that knew these religions. The explanations are endless. And merchants that came into Mecca after making these contacts.
in Mecca, there were no jews and christians, and when he travelled, he waas not alone, and it's sure he didn't mixed with others. That isn't sure at all. It's completely unlikely that Mohammed never met with or talked or debated or learned from a single Jew or Christian as a merchant. Maybe he wasn't alone on his travels, so what? Whether other people were with him or not doesn't change what he did on his travels.
and some of those prophets were proved, and found thier traces. According to sources, Mohammed wasn't the only person trying to teach people monotheism in Arabia. Maybe these people did exist, who knows. Simple word of mouth lets people know about them, not divine inspiration.
the existance of muslims everywhere is a proof, and in few years, islam reached from europe to china, and here I don't see the place and time. It doesn't prove anything anymore than the existence of Christians and the spread of Christianity proves that its the true religion. The great Jewish thinker Maimonides said that both religions growing may be divinely allowed, in a plan to make all of the world believe in Gd, but this doesn't imply that one religion overrules the previous ones, or indeed that what you practice is unique and the sole truth.
well, the history of arabs before Islam is well know, and it's written.
The histories concerning Mohammed are not neutral and everybody knows that. The people that chronicled Mohammed and Islam closely were Muslims and either way, outside accounts that were critical of Mohammed are either discredited by you or just simply didn't survive the passage of history.
and the only prophet that all his history is well known, it's only history of Prophet mohamed, and others prophets don't have a full witten history. It's much easier to have a larger collection of history from 1400 years ago then 2000 years ago and over. Aside from this, there are clear records of the prophets in the massive Jewish Bible known as the Tanakh, of which the Torah is apart. The Talmud similarly keeps the Oral history known.
and it's proved what we didn't change it. Sorry? If the Quran and Islam itself are just bunch of changing ideas and evolving matter over the 30 years of Mohammed's revelations, how can you even make such a silly claim that 'it hasn't been changed'? It is itself something that was different at the beginning then kept changing as Mohammed commanded. Muslims in the beginning could drink alcohol, then later they couldn't. More surahs were added as time went by. None of these are elements of a consistent, non-changeing religion.
actually, I don't see the facts that you're talking about. Just re-read what I wrote. Historical, non-Jewish accounts speak of the Temple's existance and its location. Archaelogists agree that the Temple existed and that it was located within Jerusalem. The only people that deny this are Arabs with political designs and agendas who don't shy away from denying obvious history for poltical reasons.
really funny, they didn't find anything, and one crlaim that is was in the east and another in the west !! really funny I'm sick of playing this game. The Temple was destroyed. It isn't there anymore. The only thing that would remain are traces of ruins. Whether it is under the Al Aqsa mosque is disputed. Personally I think its true. Most people believe so. It is the Temple Mount and this was why the Muslims decided to build their mosque there.
and it was known that when muslims reached this place, there were no building in this place, and they build al-Aqsa from an impty soil and land. How is this relevant when the Temple was destroyed by the Romans 600 years earlier?
I meant bring here the Quote in Torah that talk about that !! The discussion on this is from the Talmud and from the writings of Maimonides: It is only in the Torah that we find divinely inspired authority binding for all times. With the completion of the Torah, such authority ceased, and no new law or commandments can be introduced prophetically. It is thus written 'THESE are the commandments that Gd commanded Moses or the children of Israel on Mount Sinai (Leviticus 27:34). The revelation at Sinai had the power to impose commandments, but no other revelation can.
Continuing, Gd has promised that He will never send a prophet to add, subtract, or change. He will also never grant a prophetic vision to interpret a law differently than set forth in the tradition, or to render a decision in Torah Law. Therefore, any prophet who claims to do any of these things must be assumed to be a false prophet, and is judged accordingly (derived from Sanhedrin 90a and the Tosefta regarding it). The Torah says (Deuteronomy 13:1), "All this word that I command you, you shall keep and do. You shall not add to it, nor subtract from it."
Warnings from other prophets against such are mentioned in the Tanakh. ''He will speak words against the Most High, and he will wear down the saints of the Most high, attempting to change the seasons and the Law'' (Daniel 7:25)
those were in the past, I'm asking about the future, if you expact new prophets, and consider that is possible ? Yes, of course. Prophethood is an important part of Judaism.
don't see how the muslims are in American movies, they make them always as terrorists, so how do you expact people to see them. It's my observation that American movies nowadays often try to show non-Arab terrorists out of fear of stereoptyping them.
the American people are from the most people who don't know the true for what is going on in the world, as when Bush wanted to attack Afgabistane, but he didn't know where is it situated!! As badly informed as I'll admit that many Americans are about the world, I think that people in the Middle East are badly informed about things as well. Yes, they live in the region, and yes they see first hand the destruction of Iraq, but their media makes them equally ignorant about America and Israel.
there were no civilization satyed for ever, and the same in the future, just read what the historians and researchers say about that. Which civilization has lasted longer so far in its position as world leader, Islamic or Western?
you who want to understand it in this way, and you try to find other meaning of it, just to say that is wrong and not in the original meaning. People like you that cling to the belief that the Koran is divine will eagerly take anything out of context and reinterpret it to mean something that wasn't the original intention, then go off on a tangent with it.
Discovery of The universal Dokhan (smoke) The article goes off on a tangent about the word for 'smoke' and reinterprets its meaning to mean space dust. Sorry, but Mohammed was not thinking of space dust when he was thinking up the Koran. The word means smoke, and meant smoke from the context. People that cling to the idea that its all the world of gd will keep reinterpreting and reinterpreting till they come up with a 'miracle'. I don't really buy into this nonsense.
Do you think that we're crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!! or witches !!!!!!!!!! No, I just think you're deluded. The last part makes the same mistake of going off on its personal tangent. Where are these exact '7 heavens'? Why are there only seven when if we're describing space? No scientist identifies the number seven to the countless expanses of cosmos. If the Koran was trying to describe the sky and space, it could have done so in a more precise manner. Instead it fails miserably with vague ideas based on Arab mythology.
really, when you can know that the deep of ocean is dark !! are you sure ? Yes, I think I can. Anyone who has ever been in a boat can conclude that the bottom is not visible. |

Dialogue With the Yathribians
=============================== |

they failed to explain the power of this religion, and how could it reach all this succuss over the world. I'm guessing that your answer to this is that the spread of Islam is proof of its divinity. My answer is that in history several other religions have spread that aren't divine.
I would be lying if I said that I don't believe that the spread of Islam is a positive thing in the long run. Monotheism spread and it happened perhaps because Gd let it happen.
Really funny, how can a man, bring a religion like islam, and create a holy book, and make a system, which the world still learn from it, full of rules of life and treating and worshiping, a prefect system i all the side !! Just like other people of those times wrote fantastic works of art or philosophy. I reckon that M. had help form his initial followers and later entourage. I don't need to repeat that a lot of this 'system' is similar to Jewish practices.
who claim that, when they failed to explain the source of quran, which it's impossible to be brought from a man. People with knowledge of the other religions can easily find the traces for the ideas in the Koran. 'He who has killed one innocent person, is as if he killed all of mankind' Where does this come from do you think?
It's more farfetched for people like you to blindly think that Mohammed, a travelling merchant, never in his entire carreer met or learned from Christians and Jews in a region that was full of them. Whether he did so in Mecca or in other parts of Arabia is also irrelevant. To most people, this is an open and shut case.
you build your ideas over doubts and Speculations, which you can't prove. The simularities of the subject matter are not speculation. The geography is not speculation. I think saying that these are all coincidences is more of a speculation.
we give the name of those prophets, and we give their stories, and what happened to them, how could a man bring those stories !! how did he know them if they were destroyed !! Because people met them, heard about them, told stories about them. Maybe they simply weren't divinely destroyed but met an unlucky end. The stories that evolved over time, till people decided that they had done something to offend gd.
really, what do you say when you see a christian priests became muslims, and defend on islam, and ask people to it. what do you say when you see a RABBI became muslim, and defend on it. I say that rabbis and priests are humans like any other, who have their reasons for doing what they did. Most clergy do not follow in their footsteps. It's the same logic of atheists who call religion a fraud because a priest turned out to be a pedophile.
when we see for who is the best, sure muslims, because we ask people to believe in one one, and we bring more poeple to that, more than Christians, and sure, you don't do anything for that, you just stay closed onyourself, and refuse the others. Having more doesn't mean anything, what matters is what is true. As I firmly believe that Christianity and Islam are both offshoots of Jewish ideas, I disagree. Jews have taught the world about gd, and set in motion the process for salvation and belief. Yes, now it may not seem that way, but back in the ancient days, Jews were openly going out to the nations and either converting them, or teaching them about gd. Need Ι mention again, that the Beit ha Mikdash was a place for all nations to come and gather and pray, not just the Jews.
Deny just to deny is not a solution, if you don't recognize and trust anything from our history, actually nobody can change your mind, the problem is in yourself. Anymore than just blindly accepting things. You should consider things why there are more non-Muslims than Muslims: -Either the case for Mohammed's prophecy is not well made -there isn't a full case to be made at all because he wasn't one.
I believe the second.
what happened to you man, have you changed your mind, I heard from you one time that you don't think that Quran had changed, and today you say another thing ! There are two periods that one can refer to in this subject: The period of the Koran's conception and it not having changed apparently. AND the entire period afterwards from now to present day, where you also claim it hasn't been changed. As far as I know, there is not a copy of the Koran that goes all the way back to Mohammed's time. There isn't a 'Mohammed's Koran' lying behind glass in some museum. Furthermore, concerning the conception, the Koran was 'revealed' during a period of 30 years, where it likely, or at least most people think so, went through transformations, rewriting, reformulation.
in the beginning, the alcohol was not forbidden, untill allah ordered muslims to stop drikking it, but Prophet mohamed drink it ? that is silly I didn't say that he drank alcohol. I said the rest of what you said. Gd doesn't change his mind.
and some jews think that it was built in Nabless, and the other think it's someone in jerusalem, and they don't know exacly, only you, who want to hear the voice that you want to hear. WHO? It's not enough to say 'some Jews' believe this. The Jewish view, backed up by everything else is that the Temple was in historical Jerusalem.
First the Torah was given before the Timple that you claim !! Yes, you're right. The accounts of the Temple and of Solomon, Saul and David are from the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, not the Torah.
there is no trace or ruins man, all reseaschers said that. The proof of where the Temple was is not supposed to come from finding the actual Temple, but through other finds. The Temple is gone, and that is clear. The discovery of the mikvot around the Temple area is to me proof that the Temple was somewhere within Jerusalem. To wrap it up, most experts believe that the Jewish Temple was on the present day area where the mosques are. If this is proven wrong, good. That means that rebuilding the Temple wouldn't cause any disruptions to other people. I'll add a clever bit of information to you: the area where the Temple was is forbidden for Jews to enter until the time is right, as only ritually pure people can enter it. So it being on the Temple Mount, Jews aren't allowed to go there anyway, religiously, yet.
aven after 600 years, if it was there, where would be traces and ruins there, but there were nothing in this land, where Al-aqsa was built. it was empty land. Well there is the trace: the Kotel, the Wailing Wall. The last part remaining of the outer wall.
by the way, you said one time that Obadiah was a convert , how that, and you said that prophets come from only Israelites. Converts are as much Israelites or Jews as anyone that was born Jewish. I suppose that his purpose in life was to become Jewish and then he was given the divine gift of prophecy. What he received is written in the book of Obadiah.

the wester civilization started in abour 1500s or 1600s up today, not more than 500 years. Western civilization goes back much further than that. It's first of all based on Rome, Greece, the Judeo-Christian religion. We're looking back at least 1000 years before the 1500s or 1600s and it's still going strong.
1.57 billions are deduded, and our cousins 14 millions are right !! eumm Isn't the father often right as opposed to the children? More specifically, it's well possible to imagine that first people had it right, then the others distorted it with their own ideas. Either way I don't think it matters. Jews don't want the world to convert to Judaism. It's more important that everyone live properly and righteously according to Gd's law, then 'who is right'.
the meaning is not from over sea, but in the Bottom of the ocean, when you go down to the bottom, you can't see your hands or things around you. Not necessarily. The context can mean both. |
