Dear Brother Michael,
Al Salamualykum (Peace be upon you)
Thank you for your reply;

{I have read through the arguments referred to above}
have you?
1. They are not arguements, they are facts.
2. They are by Doctors and Professors, you are tricked by the words of the deciever, see for your self how you are led astray:

There are no contradictions in the Qur'an, therefore the Qur'an gives a more accurate Word of Your Maker.
Michael wrote;
Therefore you have yet to prove your assertion.
I quote;
"Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunder because of the fear of Allah, and We set forth these parables to men that they may reflect."
"Allah is He, than Whom there is no other god;- Who knows (all things) both secret and open; He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful." 59:21-22

But even if there are scientific facts in the Qur'an if one error is found then that error would refute the entire claim of divine inspiration for the Qur'an see: http://www.answering-islam.org/Science/index.html

I have and even little ole me proved the decievers claims fake, it is your Free choice wheater you want to follow those who are astray "or" research with an open mind.
Michael wrote;
I did not ask any questions in my post. It is simply that your circular arguments above are begging the question,
I wrote:
Pardon my assumption.
Michael wrote;
How do you know Allah is the one true universal God?
I wrote;
The answer is in the Qur'an.
Michael wrote;
Therefore, in any and all Muslim-Christian dialogues the Muslim most first prove their truth claims. This is a point you have dodged so far.
I wrote;
Reflect.
Michael wrote;
This takes us to a larger question I would like to ask you, How do you know that Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Make your case.

In this post, the message is that there is and there isn't a boundry between Christianity and Islam. It is grace and submission together, not Grace alone as many think and according to Islam, it is not hollow submission as some may think.
Let us think as humans Michael, you will see that according to the teachings of Islam, the Jews and Christians are united.
If you take the words of the others, people who make up and twist the words of Islam in order to decieve you Michael, in order for you to follow their teachings, then you are as misguided as them.
Feel free to relpy with any questions, one drop in an ocean of Traits of Allah is Unity, look at it from far, wouldn't the one Creator of us, who loves us, would like to see us unite?
Are the Jews and Christians united by some of the teachings in the Gospel (i.e. death of Jesus)? or are they united by the Teachings that Jesus was Saved.?
Peace and Blessings,
Your Brother in Islam: Mohamed.
