I found these so incredibly insightful and helpful in learning about Islam. James is such a great communicator! Would love to see him come back on and talk more about engaging our muslim neighbors.

[@TheAlMaidahInitiative]

Thanks Sarah! We recorded 3 more episodes, they will release later this summer, in the mean time we have way more content over on our channel. Thanks for watching!

If you want a historical survey of the 'Standard Islamic Narrative', James is providing quite a few details of that, along with some world history. However, it's important to go more in-depth on a few important topics mentioned: 1) the Arabic language, 2) the word "radical", and 3) mass immigration to the West. 1) The Arabic Language Spoken Arabic has existed for a long time, and we read in Acts 2:11 of the Bible (on the Day of Pentecost) that Arabs were some of those who "heard them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God". However, Arabic as a written language is very 'recent', as in it didn't exist during the life of Muhammad, who lived from 570-632 A.D., according to tradition. The earliest form of written Arabic, a consonantal text with no vowels or diacritical marks, would have been what Uthman "burned" when getting rid of variants. Therefore, the problem wasn't 'pronouncing words differently', but rather, completely different 'Qurans.' Furthermore, due to the many different Qur'ans that have been found over the centuries, and the fact that the current Qur'an that most of the Islamic world memorizes was standardized in 1924 (yes, only 100 years old), this destroys the 'Standard Islamic Narrative' claim that "the the Qur'an was completely compiled in perfect Arabic, without errors or variants, within twenty years of Muhammad's death" (652). 2) The word "Radical" In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the first definition of the word 'radical' is "of, relating to, or proceeding from a root". Therefore, it's important for people to realize that 'radical Islam' is true Islam, a.k.a., 'Islam according to Muhammad'. There are many 'moderate' Muslims in the world, but there is no 'moderate Islam'. A 'radical Muslim' does what Muhammad said to do, and a 'radical Christian' does what Jesus said to do. Therefore, the solution to 'radical Islam' is 'radical Christianity'. Unfortunately, the word 'radical' tends to have a negative connotation attached to it, as people tend to think it means 'militant' or 'violent' when it simply doesn't. In fact, being 'radical' can be a good thing, if it's a good thing that you're 'radical' about. 3) Mass Immigration to the West Yes, there are some Muslims (as well as non-Muslims) coming to the West because they want the 'western freedom' that does not exist in the country they came from, however, people need to be aware that a major goal of Islam is to have the entire world under Islamic law (full Sharia), and in order to help facilitate that Muslims will leave Dar al-Islam (Islamic parts of the world) and travel to Dar al-Harb (non-Islamic parts of the world) to help Islamization take place. All one needs to do is look to many European countries which have had mass immigration for decades, and notice how Islamized they are now compared to before. This was all talked about in our 2019 presentation called, "Lights Out: When Islam Rules America" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4nbYpqdar6gg6s). If America does not learn from their mistakes we'll follow in their footsteps, and thus far, that's exactly what we're doing. However, the mass immigration to America is a two-sided coin: on one side, we're witnessing mass immigration for the purpose of Islamization, and for that to take place all we need to do is sit back and do nothing, because their goal had not changed. However, the other side of the coin is the proper, Christian response, which is reaching Muslims with the Gospel of Jesus Christ via conversations, giving them a Bible, Gospel tract, etc., all of which would be illegal to do in the Islamic countries they're coming from. In other words, here in American we can legally (at least for now) share with them the 'spiritual solution' of the Gospel to counteract the 'spiritual problem' of Islam. Non-Christians in America may not agree with this 'ultimate solution' to Islam, but: a) it's true, b) it's the most effective solution, and c) it's the only hope that the West has left. Ex-Muslims make great Christians, so go share the Gospel with them. If you want some tips to help you do that, we have a free 20-hour, 'Apologetics to Islam' training series and lots of other free resources. Our newest resource is a presentation called, "What Muslims Need to Know" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZS7mqCna6mhaas).

Wait, no goal to raise a new califate ? Really as Ali Dawah and Muhammad Hijab in the UK has been calling for and imams in canada in deerborn Michigan. Many more today what to do wuth what muhammad wants from surah:ayah 9:29 says. And usually the cultish team does good research on the cults, and this one is by far not extremely accurate. This interfaith dialog like a james white's naive approach is not good for the body of christ. Please dont take away from this, oh islam has no real presence without a califate. And since david wood is a scary voice thus saith james white, i assume even worse would be love for what robbert spencer says. So PT 4 should be interesting. And not teaching christians how to engage is setting them up to fail. Oh boy.

[@WillNelson73]

Guys like Ali Dawah and Muhammad Hijab are a bunch of bluster, hot air, and smoke. They have no standing army and they are living comfortably in the West. They must be confronted by the church intellectually and their lies must be exposed.

[@JadDragon]

The exception not the rule

[@Hideinacave]

James White is right to debate them, but you are right in that many here in the UK clearly want to take over and eradicate Christianity

[@dolanridgecommunitychurch7433]

You do gotta give Ali Dawah props for admitting and doubling down on the scientific miracles of the Quran are debunked. Muhammad Hijab gets props because he destroyed the view that the Quran had been perfectly persevered. Turns out there is a lot of holes in the narrative.

Whosoever does not believe God created Jesus is *accursed:* For it is written whosoever believes Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and everyone that loves him [the Father] that begat loves him also [Jesus] that is begotten of him (1 John 5:1). In Revelation 3:14, Jesus is calling himself the beginning of the creation of God, for it was the Father who begat Jesus. Jesus does exactly what the Father has taught him (John 8:28) to the degree that the Father glorifies himself through his Son (Hebrews 1:8). Yet Jesus himself is not GOD, but he is His exact likeness. No man will enter heaven calling *_anyone,_*_ [including Jesus],_ outside of the Father as God, for our God is a *jealous God* (Exodus 34:14). The god of this world, Satan, has blinded the eyes of man-and he must be stopped. All who preach and teach that anyone outside of what Jesus has taught us from the Father will be *accursed.* Satan has fought hard against the word of God, saying Jesus himself was never created and teaching the entire world to think the same. There is no other God besides Him, the Father (Isaiah 45:5, Isaiah 44:24, John 17:3). Do not contradict His words.

[@Shawn-q3x]

@siarnaq5625 Jesus is not a liar, neither is he God. Stop listening to what man has told you. Receive God’s Holy Spirit then read his word, other than that, it will do you no good. And, yes Jesus was before Abraham, because he is the first creation of God Proverbs 8:22-36, Rev 3:14. All was before Abraham walked the earth, because all was brought forth from God’s foreknowledge, which has no beginning or ending we has always been with him. In John 19:7 they said ‘’we have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself (THE SON OF GOD). Stop contradicting God’s word through Jesus. There’s only one God says God and Jesus Isaiah 45:5, Isaiah 44:24, John 17:3. Changing this leads to hell. 1 John 5:1 says ‘’whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God; and everyone that loves him that begat (God) loves him (ALSO) that is begotten of him (Jesus). Those who goes against the words of Jesus goes also against the word of God, for they are one in agreement and spirit, and we must become one even as they are one John 17:22.

@@Shawn-q3x the whole bible is about Jesus, He must be God or else the whole bible is contradictory. Educate yourself before you write nonsense. God bless

[@Shawn-q3x]

@@bibledynasty5050 The entire bible was Jesus speaking about his Father, which is in heaven. Never once did Jesus claim to be God--he explicitly tells us, as well as John, Paul, and Luke, that the Father is the only God. Jesus came to do his Father's will. Jesus cannot be God after he himself said NO MAN has SEEN GOD at any time. There is nothing contradictory about it. To say that Jesus is God after he himself said no man has seen God makes it contradictory.
