To William D Clark : Islam is theologically undefeatable.

It seems that you read one side of story, based on fabricated stories about Islam within 25 years. Christians look for any archaeological proof to defeat Islam, which is undefeatable theologically.

(I) If the time period between Abraham and Muhammed, peace upon him, is about 2000 years that between Abraham and Jesus is 2000 years. How can anyone prove that God of Abraham is the God of the Holy Bible other than using theological books? Is there any prove that there was someone called Jesus? Not really. Thanks to Islam 1/5th of world population also believe so due to Quran.

Muslims from 170 countries all over the world about 2 millions are in Mecca to commemorate the trials of prophet Abraham and his family. They sacrifice animals as Abraham did before. They praise his name with the name of Muhammed, peace upon him five times a day. These are facts that are more important than any archaeological or theological proofs.

Muhammad, peace upon him, was an illiterate man. How could he read and understand all those gospels? Even Christian themselves don't understand trinity but accept as it is. If he was another pagan why Quran is full of all messengers of God of Abraham including Moses and Jesus. Isn't it too much knowledge for a pagan Arab unless the knowledge is coming from the same source?

Muhammad, peace upon him, is the only messenger that every stage of his life was recorded. His personal belongings are available in Islamic Museums.

How about Jesus ? Almost nothing is known about him. Christians still discuss if he was a married man or not. They couldn't find any archaeologically proved version of holy grail. Vatican has a copy of the holy grail but it is a luxury to have such a grail for a carpenter Jesus.
Christians have many reasons to keep themselves busy with archaeology. Not Muslims...

Muslims don't care about finding any archaeological proof to defeat Christianity. When Pope say something about which rules of Christianity is still valid or not Muslims think that Christianity is corrupted. Because a man decides which rule to be applied during this century, not Bible(s) itself. This is the ultimate difference between Islam and Christianity.
