To Raqib: Koran demonstrates Islam is only for Arabs & reading science into and not from Koran

IS ALLAH PREJUDICED AGAINST THE VAST MAJORITY OF HUMAN KIND WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND QURANIC ARABIC?

Deedat's scholarship includes what can only be termed 'numerology' in the Koran. Watching one of his video debates with a Christian missionary you see subtitles scrolling at the bottom saying what the missionary is saying is false and when he is speaking the missionary is not given a chance to do the same.How would you feel if when you are arguing a point somebody without your knowledge flashes a sign that you are lying? Why would the Pope want to debate somebody like him? And I would think, faith being a private matter, is best discussed in private (behind closed doors) than din it (proselytise) into the ears of willing and UNWILLING people.

And you have the 'scholar' Dr.Zakir Naik, who as I showed in the last post, when confronted with contradiction in the Koran calls it blasphemy to doubt what the Koran says! And you consider these people 'scholars'. So every time the Pope raises an inconvenient point (in a putative debate) he would get something like:

You also say "

'What is the Koran' at the website: www.theatlantic.com/issues. It also reveals the kind of " molestation" of the Koran that took place.

I have strayed from the main topic of science in the Koran to show how the excuse of translation errors is the protective cloak used by Muslims when confronted with scientific, ethical, and moral problems with their scriptures.

Coming to Bucailism. This is the term now used to describe the silly sport of discovering all known scientific theories in the Koran. And ALWAYS after the discovery. No Muslim has ever discovered a scientific theory in the Koran before a scientist did. Strange. I feel sorry for those poor scientists slogging away and the moment they discover anything along comes our friends from the Islamic world who tell him/her breathlessly that it was already there in black and white in their Koran which was revealed 1400 years ago.All the credit for your discovery should really go the Koran!

So we are told the Big Bang theory, black holes, the speed of light, worm holes, the string theory ( I have not seen this one but I am betting some one has found it in the Koran) and cures for arthritis, blood pressure, TB, cancer (and when a cure for cancer is discovered it will be apparent that the clear book already had the cure) were already there in the Koran if anybody cared to look.

Why don't our scientists just learn Quranic Arabic and discover all there is to discover in the 114 chapters of the Koran instead of wasting public money on expensive gadgets and damage their health doing all kinds of dangerous stuff when Allah has made it so easy for us?

As somebody pointed out why is it that you can only read science INTO the Koran and not FROM it. Maybe as the Prophets's biographers constantly keep saying. ' And Allah knows best'.

People of faith want to have their cake and eat it too. They tell us that reason tells you their faith is justified but when you show them what is wrong with their reasoning they plead faith cannot be reudced to logic and reason a la Zakir Naik.
