The Distortion of Islam

During a recent search on the Internet, Jim found the following topics that caught his attention. One was titled: 10 Reasons Why Islam is the True Religion. Another was called, 7 Proofs to Know Islam is the Truth and another one had the title, Evidence Islam is Truth: 159 Articles.

So there's all this information alleging that Islam is the truth. However, according to Usama Dakdok, Islam is anything but truth. In fact, he believes Islam has distorted the truth.

Usama Dakdok is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad.

Speaking concerning deception, Usama began by noting that when you talk about "miracles" in Islam, Allah is very clear in the Qur'an that he didn't send to Mohammed any miracles. However, Western Muslims, particularly in about the past 20 years, are creating miracles for Mohammed from everywhere and he noted that if people really knew the truth behind it, they'd not only leave Islam, they'd laugh at it.

Jim then had Usama talk about an illustration from this month. It's the festival of sacrifice known as Eid al-Adha. The Muslim justification for this festival is derived from chapter 37 in the Qur'an. In some respects this account mimics that of Abraham's sacrifice from Genesis 22.

Review this edition of Crosstalk to find out what the differences are between the two accounts and why they are critical as they pertain to the believer's salvation in Christ.
