ahmed, from your seat, I think it's fairly clear that the gist of the matter is if you post something it's "undeniably rock solid and completely legitimate" and if I post something it's "nonsensical crap with more holes than Swiss cheese". You're not willing to accept that you don't always have the correct information and will not accept valid corrections; in essence, you're never wrong. The majority of folks that share that view are typically kids and egomaniacs. I'm fairly certain now that Groink had you pegged awhile back when he said "you're just a young know-it-all full of piss and vinegar". I've given you the benefit of the doubt for months, but that time has passed. There's absolutely no way to have a healthy discussion or share our faiths appropriately with that mindset. The discussions are only "friendly" if the audience agrees with every word you post. See, I know you and bigbobs and true all believe the same, but bigbobs and true are rational in their approach. I can talk to those fellas even if we completely disagree, but disagree with you.....LOL.....the discussion is over before it begins.
That won't work on this board.
Still, I will also work to keep the anti-Islam posts and threads in check...if it's outright insults and degrading remarks towards Muslims (not just a simple difference of opinion mind you) I will eliminate that completely....it absolutely goes both ways.
Okay
I know you don't like the answer but there is a big difference btween what you're posting and what we're posting as far as comparing the deen show and CBN.
The deen show is literally a talk show where people talk about why, when and how they became Muslim. They come from a variety of backgrounds not necessarily christian even.
There have been a few that I posted which included people with doctorates in divinity, people who studied in seminaries, held high positions in preaching circles, churches, had a reputation.
However, it is merely a talk show of people talking about them becoming Muslim.
CBN on the other hand is the 'christian broadcasting network'. It is not merely a talk show. If anything Pat Robertson's 'club' is a more constructive comparison. AND AGAIN they are NOTHING alike. Pat uses lies and hate to bash Islam. Deen show does not bash christianity or christians. It's an open and sincere dialog.
CBN is also a 'news website', it has articles, various sections, etc... I first was introduced to this website by a friend who was trying to 'convert me back' from islam lol.. and tried to show me the 'lies of islam'.
He even pointed me to some articles on CBN which had comic strips explaining what Islam is about. Totally idiotic and filled with lies.
Then there's pat robertson... who we all know.
Then there's the various fraudulent articles on there which are not out to seek the truth or have balance or have discussion but no matter than some things certain fellas on here you agree are anti-islam bashing and not actually seeking information or discussion.
Hence, the two are NOT comparable
Whether you like the answer or not. You can poke fun at me all you want and name me names and give me labels but these are the facts.
A person such as pat robertson or anyone associating with them loses all their credibility when the jest of his whole arguments is that we are 'devil worshipers' and idolators (lol!) and that we don't worship the same God of Abraham.
Ironically Jews acknowledge that we worship the God of Abraham. I mean it only takes a LITTLE bit of reading of the qur'an to realize all that. So... such a hate filled, lie filled source is hardly credible.
That is all. Like it or hate it.
In contrast deen show, for example that dude who has a doctor of divinity and studied in seminaries, knows koine greek, etc... etc... He was/is a scholar who was legitimately studied the scriptures in detail. He is not out to sway people into anything but is presenting the authentic information. Take it or leave it.
Pat Robertson? A scholar? Hardly.
