Hi Jennifer

>I was unable to view the "streaming English" on the site you provided (it was all in Arabic - gosh, you really can read that? -amazing) but I found this site -

I really enjoy watching it. And it for sure helps to improve my Arabic

http://www.fatherzakaria.net

>He has many booklets availiable for viewing (in English) - I read "The Knowledge of Salvation" - Zakaria Botros does have a critical eye for viewing exactly what scripture teaches (VERY REFRESHING) - this was regarding the Bible; he even argues that what scripture reveals and what Pope Shenouda III instructs do not always go together.

Do not forget that the Copts and the city of Alexandria were two of the major foundations of Christianity

>I've yet to read any indepth critique on his part regarding Islam/the Qur'an/hadiths; I did read a quote from him, "My program is to attack Islam, not to attack Muslims but to save them because they are deceived. As I love Muslims, I hate Islam."

I agree with him 100% I also believe that Muslims are the real vicitms of Islam

>Also, Arabic Newspaper al-Insan al-Jadid named Botros as Islam's "Public Enemy #1" because of the massive audience he has in the Arabic world.

Oh he is not very liked by Islamists and what is really funny is that al-Azhar just published 750 page book aiming at refuting what ever he is saying but it just added fuel to the little fire

>I also read an explaination of the hadith, "Rida' al-Kibir" (is that correct, dhimmi?)

You are very close it is rida3at al-kabeer and the 3 is the Arabic letter ayn

>- it states that women should breastfeed strange men with whom they must spend any amount of time...

And it was really shocking to many muslim women in the Arab world and many were very unhappy

>The Wonders of Islam never cease

As I always say the only way to defeat a bad human idea as in the case of islam is to defeat it in the market place of ideas

>Thanks again dhimmi for telling me about Zakaria Botros - I'll look forward to reading more of his teaching.

Here is another hadith that he also found: (I will spare you the Arabic transliteration but if you wish to view the Arabic text then let me know) and this is hadith saheeh

Muhammad said: A tribe of the sons/children of israel is lost and I do believe that they are now the rats (read this as metamorphosed as rats) because if given the milks of the camel (as Jews are not supposed to eat or drink the meat or the milk of the camel) they will not drink it but they will drink the milks of the sheep

I guess Muhammad was acting as a Sherlock Holmes

How could such drivel be the words insipred by a deity?
