The good doctor wrote: "you people don't know what is written in the verses of the Quran (sic) only translations can not make you understand what Allah is saying." Just amazing.

1. My good doctor I'm sure you have noticed that I do know Arabic very well, and you do not, and if I use a quote from your Allah's book, I transliterate it then apply the tools of linear translation et voila we know what your Allah is saying (or is it Muahmmad, or is it Qutham, or is it Abul Qasim or is it Gabriel or is it 'Asrafeel). So do us all a favor and read what we write with care which is not one of your attributes my good doctor.

2. Now you also, and you must pardon me, have the audacity to claim that you know Arabic when your Arabic is and you must pardon me again, is a big zero.

3. I will parapharse what you wrote above: " you my good doctor don't know what is written in the verses of the Bible only translations (and this applies too to your Qur'an that you seem to be reading in a language Arabic that is that you do not know and you have to read it in Urdu translations) cannot make you understand what God in the Bibe is saying (or the Qur'an for this matter)"

What do you say to that my dear doctor? And if you are to quote the Bible I expect you to use the primary languages of the Bible, be it Greek, Hebrew, Syro-Aramiac or Coptic (in the case of the gnostic gospels). And remember "what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander."

So how good is your Hebrew, Greek, Syro-Aramaic or Coptic? Let me guess, big zero!!

4. For the readers: Muhammad's biography informs us that his kunya was: Abul al-qasim or Qutham, and in the Qur'an he is called by the name of Muahmmad on 4 occasions and by the name of Ahamd on one occasion. So much for total confusion.

So my dear doctor where can we find all of these names in the Bible? And if we find such a name how can we be sure that this name in the Bible refers to Muahmmad and not some other Muhammad? Rememeber I expect you to use a primary lanagueg of the Bible. And let me help you you will not find any of these names in the Bible and I'm not even a Christian or a Jew.

5. Last: Abul Qasim AKA Muahammad declared that the Bible is corrupt. If so how can you use a corrupt text to pove your point? So much for Muslim logic.

Your credibility is on the line my dear doctor.
