I am no Muslim

I am a Christian, an Arab, and I'm proud of being exactly that.

I actually agreed with a lot of what you said about Muslims; not because I am an Islamophobe, just because you raised good points; exactly the reason why I called you a dunce ONLY and SPECIFICALLY for saying that the grammar in the Qur'an is false.

Taqiyya is a concept that has been going around a lot between the Islamophobes. And no, I don't believe in it as well. Muslims definitely lie, the biggest being the denial of Christ's crucifixion. But saying that EVERY Muslim lies after seeing so many educated leaders in their community who speak nothing but the truth would be wrong. Al-Biruni being one of them as he was someone who was known for always writing what he saw. He even got loads of hate because of it as some things he wrote didn't please the people; but he never let go of his core ideology.

Mirza Ghulam who started the Al-Ahmadiyya community is probably not even going to heaven in the eyes of Allah as he created divisions between Muslims. The Qur'an says this, not me (49:10).

Talking about lies, I only stated my opinion on the Qur'an and stated the praises of various scholars on the grammar of the Qur'an. If you want to prove me wrong, go ahead. But it wasn't a lie since every person learns from his mistakes. Albert Einstein saying it better than I ever could've:
"A person who has never made a mistake never tried anything new."

I say it again and again, but I am a Christian. And I say with utmost pride: Glory be to Lord Jesus!
