Hello Mr Ali Sina,

I was surprised when I visited your website Mr Sina, when I encountered such ignorance and blatant disregard for the truth. You amaze me Mr Sina. You are one of the few people who I have encountered with such a naive and idiotic viewpoint towards worldly affairs and the religion of Islam. Indeed it is amazing how someone with no training in Islamic scholarship and obviously lacking in some of the most basic aspects of Islamic knowledge would have the arrogance to challenge the greatest scholars of Islam for a debate. The amount of arrogance that an anonymous person off of the internet could carry is astounding, considering the fact that you actually expect the great scholars to come to your little-known forum and play by your rules of the debate. You also refuse to debate Muslims in public or even on audio, citing safety concerns. It truly is amazing how cowardly a man like you can be Mr Sina. People like Wafa Sultan and Robert Spencer regularly appear on national television cursing Islam, yet they haven't been assassinated have they? Mr Sina, your arguments would be laughed at by the great scholars and they will dismiss you as a delusional man with too much time on his hands. Surely it is obvious that no one can ever "win" a debate against you, since you are the judge of your own debates and you are the one who decides whether the Muslim was successful or not. Therefore, your "challenge" is subjective as well as illogical. And no Mr Sina, the public is not the judge of your debates, since you aren't exactly mailing ballots to all those who visit your website. Exactly what are you accomplishing Mr Sina from spending so much effort into your website? How many Muslims have you managed to make denounce Islam? 4? 5? Maybe 10? How is this "accomplishment" going to solve the problem of world peace?

How is reaching back 14 centuries to assess the life of a 7th century Bedouin going to solve the problem of world peace? If you truly were against Islam because, "It orders it's followers to kill all non-believers", then you would focus on the aspects of political Islam, and it's effects and causes, instead of worrying about the life of a man who isn't even here to defend himself personally. Even if your Muslim challenger does "disprove" all of your charges, exactly what is the end result Mr Sina? Ok suddenly, a man who lived 1400 years ago isn't a criminal. Now tell me how such matters are important at all. Shouldn't the character of Muhammad strictly be a topic discussed amongst the Muslims, since it affects only them and no one else? And even if he wasn't a criminal as you claim, then this does not prove his Prophethood. I'm not a murderer, rapist, sex-offender or robber; does this mean that I am a Prophet? I can't believe you aren't able to see how stupid this challenge is. And reaching back into history to assess the life of a 7th century man isn't exactly going to solve the "problem" of political Islam. You even said on your website, "I oppose Islam because it tells it's followers to kill Non-Muslims." Well if that were true, then there is no point and end-goal of studying the life of Muhammad. If we do disprove these charges, the disproval will not "prove" that political Islam doesn't advocate the deaths of all Non-Believers.

After all, if you truly were against Islam for these reasons, then you would focus solely on the "intolerant" verses of the Quran and the actions of modern-day Muslims. No, you set up this website because you want to legitimise your trashing of a man who isn't even alive to defend himself personally. You haven't been able to prove that he harmed ANYONE who didn't directly harm him at first, and even the Quran states clearly that we are only allowed to fight those who fight us first (2:190) There are those of your disciples who claim that Surah 2:190 was "abrogated" by Surah 9, although a close reading of Surah 9 again proves that Jihad is only a defensive warfare against those who harm the Muslim nation or those who practice injustice. Hence, if you study Islamic history, you would notice that the early Muslims did not wage war against the Abyssinian Empire, although we did have the means and capability of doing so.

These facts alone demolish your entire basis of attacking Islam as a religion which authorizes the unjustified attacks of Non-Muslim nations. And if you were against Islam because of these reasons, then why don't you study the teachings of the Jewish scriptures which DO authorize the murder of Non-Believers? Certainly, a study of the Old Testament proves that Old Testament figures such as Moses and Joshua DO have a lot of blood on their hands. Biblical verses such as 2 Chronicles 15:13 don't bother you at all, because you are selective in your criticism and you hypocritically attack Islam for aspects which are also found in other religions. It is obvious that you do not want to bite the hand that feeds you. And on what basis are you levying your charges against the Holy Prophet anyway? Who do you think you are, sitting on your chair assuming that you are judge, jury and executioner of an unfair and illogical debate and then arrogantly assume that Muslims all over the world do not have the ability to take you on in a debate. You complain about Muslim presence in Western nations, such as Canada and the USA, although there are Non-Muslim MILITARY BASES on our soil. Certainly you cannot find any Iranian warships patrolling the beaches of Los Angeles or Maine. The Muslims in the West arrive with passports and suitcases, while the Non-Muslims in the Islamic world arrive with tanks and warships. So what right do you have to complain about the rapid growth of mosques all over the USA and Canada, when your military presence is found all over the Middle East!!

And you are a man who is not disturbed by the massacres carried out in Palestine, in Kashmir, in Bosnia, in Chechnya, and in Mogadishu, because the victims here are Muslims being massacred by Non-Muslims! After all, you claim that Muslims are the ones doing the killing all over the world and these are one of the reasons why you oppose Islam. You condemn the killing of Nick Berg whilst turning a blind eye to those who drop napalm bombs and cluster bombs on innocent civilians. After all, according to your flawed logic, taking out entire villages with several bombs isn't as bad as a quick beheading with a knife. You Mr Sina, need to get your priorities straight, and you need to recognize WHO it is that is the threat to world peace and prosperity. You speak out against suicide bombs and executions which occur rarely in the Islamic world, yet you turn a blind eye against what goes on in your backyard. Why don't you speak out against the gangs of Los Angeles and Detroit? Why don't you speak out against the rising crime rates in Toronto and Edmonton? Why don't you criticize the frequency of rape found in cities such as Atlanta and Dallas? No, you have problems in your own backyard yet you demand that Muslims stop the killing.

I suggest that you clean up your act before you come speak to us about our behaviour. And regarding the suicide bombings in Iraq, tell me which army is stationed there? This was not a serious problem during the reign of Saddam Hussein and this phenomenon began in 2003. And blowing up a marketplace has nothing to do with the teachings of Islam. Recently a bomb exploded in a mosque in Iraq, killing dozens of civilians. Now tell me: WHAT KIND OF MUSLIM WOULD BLOW UP A MOSQUE? It is obvious that these actions have nothing to do with Islam whatsoever and have no basis in our religion. You claim incidents such as these show the true face of Islam yet you do not bring any evidence from the Islamic scriptures which back up your claim. All you manage to do is bring verses from the Quran out of context and claim that it advocates this and that. Well in case you do not know Mr Sina, vigilantism is forbidden in Islam and it was never practiced by the Islamic community, laying to rest your claims that such incidents as the murder of Aqsa Parvez show the true face of Islam.

According to you, having a society filled with hoodlums blowing up mosques and shooting random people is what Islam projects a society to be like, showing how vastly ignorant you are of Islam. You are intentionally lying and misleading thousands of otherwise neutral Non-Muslims away from the truth of Islam, and I can't understand what goes on through your mind when you do such a thing. We are 1.5 billion strong Mr Sina, and Islam isn't going anywhere. However hard you wish, you will never be able to eradicate Islam, and insulting Islam from behind your keyboard really won't make a significant amount of Muslims leave Islam. There is a saying, "Every hour a true sucker is born."

It truly amazes me how naive you are Mr Sina, as if "proving" that a 7th century man was a criminal really is going to solve the problem of world peace. You act as if the majority of the Muslims aren't aware of what is written in the Islamic scriptures, proving how naive and arrogant you are. We do know of the stories of the Banu Qurayza, the Jews of Khaybar, and the marriage of Aisha, but we do not take such incidents as a first priority and we definitely do not allow these incidents to define our religion as a whole. You blatantly misunderstand Islam and pick and choose pieces of the religion which you like, disregarding writings which do not agree with what you believe. You know, people as ignorant and naive as you come along once in a century Mr Sina, and I really do enjoy laughing at how you embarrass yourself here as nothing more than a wierdo.
