Canada: Mary Brown’s Bows Down To Allah, Now Offering 100% Halal Certified Menu At Many Locations


Acts 15:29, “You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols … You will do well to avoid these things.”

1 Corinthians 10:19-21, “… the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons.”

Great food, bad decision. As many of you already know, for meat to be considered Halal the animal must be sacrificed in the name of Allah.  According to Biblical Scripture, Allah is a false god. False gods are idols. And as we can see from the verses above, God has a few things to say to His children when it comes to food that has been sacrificed to idols: don’t eat it. I’m not sure how long Mary Brown’s has been operating Halal-only restaurants, but if you’ve gotten “Mary’d” it might be time for a “D’vorce” by avoiding all of the locations below, which are now offering a 100% Halal menu. Write them via e-mail – corporate@marybrowns.com. According to Mary Brown’s own website:
Mary Brown’s is pleased to announce that our menu is now 100% Halal Certified at many of our Canadian locations. That means you can now enjoy Mary Brown’s famous chicken and taters, along with all our other delicious menu items, with the assurance that the food you’re eating is not only completely delicious, it’s completely Halal too!

    samra, “allah is one allah is not false allah is the best your going to hell”

    Hi Samra, thank you for visiting the blog. If “Allah” is the best then why did he allow scientific and historical errors in the Qur’an? Why does the “Word of Allah” incorrectly define basic Christian doctrines? How can there be seven different Arabic versions of the Qur’an? Let’s simply compare two versions alone briefly. Below is a copy of a random page from one of the Qur’ans where you can see the variant readings listed in the margin. Which is the most accurate? Approximately two thirds of the verses of the Qur’an have some type of variant, which total approximately 4000 variants. Out of the 4000 examples, which reading is the most correct?

    Qur'an Variants

    Why is it that even Muslim archaeologists acknowledge there are many aberrations that exist in old Qur’anic texts? They admit that pieces of the earliest Qur’ans known to exist were clearly written over even earlier, washed-off versions, suggesting an evolving text rather than simply the Word of Allah as revealed in its entirety to Muhammad. Read this article for more.

    Samra, if “Allah” is the best, why was “Allah” unable to protect his word from corruption? After all, the Qur’an itself even claims that “none can change His Words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all” (Sura 6:115-116). How can there be so many variant readings of the Qur’an if his words could not be changed? Is it possible that the “prophet” Mohammed wasn’t a true prophet after all?

    Here are a few additional things for your consideration:

    Matthew 7:15, “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.”

    1 John 2:22b, “… He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.”

    1 John 4:1, “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

    2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, “The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”

    Qur’an Sura 2:21, 24:35, “O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous … Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth… Allah guides to His light whom He wills …”

    2 Corinthians 11:14-15, “… for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”

    What side do you wish to be on, Samra? The side of the Truth of Christ and Him crucified, or the side of that denies all of it?

    Hi . I will no longer be patronizing Mary Brown restaurants . I have been following stories like this about Muslims immigrants in other civilized countries abusing the religious freedoms , social systems , and causing great friction as they have done forever in their own countries . As far as I am concerned , it would be very bad karma for me to eat something like this . I do not agree with so much about the Muslim religion , but when you start to impose your religion on me , I will spend every effort I can to preserve the Canada I know . If we bow to their every whim we will have the turmoil they have caused in other civilized countries and the neanderthal and primitive ways of their own countries . I do not want my food put in any religious context whatsoever . God created earth for mankind to use everything he created including food . When you are dogmatic about religion even against every truth of science you become an extremist . A Muslim thinks a dog is dirty , one of the most beautiful , incredible animals in Gods kingdom . Thats all I need to know . Just because a Muslim makes something Halal ,does not mean it is a healthy piece of meat . My first concern would be where it came from and how it was raised . Not whether somebody chanted over it . Religion without common sense equals Muslim .

      Hi Anonymous:

      Hadith, Sahih Muslim 1:33a, “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and they establish [Islamic] prayer …” (The Shahada)

      If “Allah” is simply the Arabic word for “god” then why does the Shahada (the Islamic statement of faith) say “there is no god but Allah” and not “there is no god but the god”? While it is generally accepted that “Allah” also means “the god” — the (al) God (Ilah) — it is also the proper name of Islam’s deity (cf. Qur’an Sura 19:65). Lane’s Arabic-English Lexicon says that “Allah … is a proper name applied to the Being Who exists necessarily, by Himself, comprising all the attributes of perfection, a proper name” (as it is understood in Islam). As this Islamic website writes, “Allah is the proper name applied to the true God Who exists necessarily by Himself comprising all the excellent Divine names and attributes of perfection. Allah is One and Unique. He has no son …”

      As such, Allah is the “god” of Muslims, not the God of Jews and Christians. Any god other than YHWH (Yahweh) — the God of the Bible — is, according to the words of Scripture, a false god. And all false gods are idols.

      Isaiah 45:5, “I am the LORD [YHWH], and there is no other, besides me there is no God …”

        ICA – I am a little amazed at how you are starting such a vicious propaganda against your fellow citizens from the other faith. There is no God but Allah has a different interpretation. If you follow some other faiths like Buddhism or Hinduism you would know that they worship idols or physical objects – there are people from certain faiths whose name I choose not to disclose essentially worship male genitals. There is no God but Allah simply means that idolatry is strictly forbidden. This also means that Jesus is a prophet, not God.

        Quoting a scholar Zakir Naik- It is known that Jesus spoke an ancient Aramaic dialect, which is a Semitic language like Hebrew. The name “Allāh” exists in both Aramaic and Hebrew. The corresponding Aramaic form is ʼĔlāhā (also written as Alaha) in Biblical Aramaic and ʼAlâhâ in Syriac, which quite simply means God. It is understood that Jesus would certainly have used this term since it was commonly used in his time and region.

          Christians worship Yahweh, the Most High and the Creator of the Universe, who entered into His creation as Jesus in order to save humanity from the wages of sin.

          Idols are false gods. Yahweh is not a false god. But “Allah” is only as real as Zeus and Baal and Molech, which is to say, just another false god among many. If false gods are idols, “Allah” is therefore an idol.

          Isaiah 43:10, “… know and believe Me [Yahweh], and understand that I am He [God]: before Me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after Me.”

      That is not even remote;y true . There is hardly anything on the shelves of a regular general grocery store in Canada that is Kosher Certified . I am Canadian and I have been screening my food for almost 50 years . It is very rare to find a Kosher symbol on a food package . And it is only recently that Halal Certified products have creeped into Corporate Grocery stores . I have no use for Kosher products either , but at least Jews don’t get into my face to compromise my world . Also as the above person commented , Allah , the God f Muslims , is certainly not my God . I will never believe that the Koran is the word of God as channeled through a POS like Mohammed . If God according to Muslims is so perfect , why would he have inspired such garbage as the Koran and Islam . No divine being could inspire such crap .

        Actually you will find a lot of things in Canada are kosher certified, from bottled water to every major soda drink, bread cookies, yogurt ,condiments, milk ,90% of ice creams and Popsicles. Next time you buy something look for a COR symbol or a K in a triangle or OU in circle there are others too but these are the three main ones you will find. These products are in every aisle of grocery stores, so you won’t even realia until you read the package. Where as halal items will be specifically in an area marked halal and so you can avoid them easily.

            Ok, name me halal products that are mixed in with regular grocery products?. As for kosher certified products (where a fee is payed then added as a cost to the consumer) I will give you plenty of examples, which you claim do not exist. All coca cola branded soft drinks are kosher certified you can clearly see the COR sign, ie sprite, coke, c-plus etc. the same goes for Pepsi branded soft drinks all kosher certified. Most milk is kosher certified once again check the carton or bag for the COR kosher sign most bread, yogurt and ice creams. 90% of chapmans item see kosher certified, ketchup mustard mayonnaise, all kosher certified. Childrens cereal unless it includes marshmallows will be kosher, the COR symbol clearly visible on the bottom left. tinned fruit and veg- kosher certified.

              ON THE OTHER HAND — ‘halal’ approved foods indicate that a totally unique procedure has been performed over the ‘food’ in question. This ‘procedure’ involves “prayers” said in the name of the allah-god! NOT THE SAME THING–NOT BY A LONG SHOT!!!!

    Anonymous, “Halal isn’t any different from Jews’ Kosher. Nearly half the food sold in Canada is Kosher certified. As per Muslims’ faith Allah is the same God that Christians and Jews believe in and for Muslims Moses and Jesus are equally respectful prophets like Muhammad.”

    The god of Muslims is called Allah. The God that Christians and Jews believe in is named YHWH (Yahweh). Per above, this is not the same deity that Muslims believe in, evidenced by the fact that in order for one to convert to Islam they repeat the Shahada, which is, “There is no God but ALLAH and Mohammed is his messenger.” For one to say, “There is no God but Yahweh and Mohammed is his messenger” would NEVER be acceptable. In order to convert to Islam one must say, “Allah.”

    In an effort to entice Jewish and Christian converts to Islam, Mohammed incorporated a mix of Jewish and Christian teachings with the existing Babylonian religion of Arabia early in his campaign to gain adherents to his “new” monotheistic Arab religion, even going so far as to claim that “Allah” was the same god that Jews and Christians worshiped. But Jews and Christians would not be deceived and, already familiar with the polytheistic religion of the Romans and their Greek gods, understood full well that just as abolishing all other Greek gods except Zeus would not suddenly make Zeus the God Abraham and Moses, neither would abolishing all Babylonian gods except for the god “Allah” suddenly make Mohammed’s god the God of Jews and Christians. This complete rejection of Mohammed and his teachings infuriated Mohammed, resulting in subsequent “revelations” for the Qur’an for the next 20 or so years that grew increasingly hateful and violent against Jews, Christians and all non-Muslims in general. This distortion of Judeo-Christian teachings, Babylonian paganism and vengeful anti-Semitic and anti-Christian hatred to suit his own agenda is what permeates every crevice of Islam, even today.

    Look at it this way. If “Allah” is the same God that Christians believe in, then why is it that “Allah” is never mentioned even once in the Biblical texts? Scrolls and Biblical manuscripts that are dated before Mohammed (who said that the Scriptures were not corrupted during his time) never mention “Allah” one single time, which is proof in and of itself that “Allah” was not the God of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Isaac, nor of anyone else in the Bible. Their God was and is Yahweh — a name that never appears as the name of any god outside the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, just like the name “Allah” never appears in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. To therefore claim that Allah is the same God that Christians and Jews believe in is without one single shred of evidence.

    You can believe that “Allah” is the god of the Bible all you like, but it doesn’t change the fact that Allah is in no way, shape or form, the Great I AM of Judeo-Christian Scripture:

    * In the Bible, God gave His only begotten son.
    * In the Qur’an, Allah has no begotten son to give.

    *In the Bible, God guarantees salvation through faith in His Messiah (salvation is a free gift).
    * In the Qur’an, Allah guarantees nothing unless a Muslim is killed during jihad (salvation by works).

    * In the Bible, God wants His people to love and pray for their enemies.
    * In the Qur’an, Allah wants his people to fight against, terrorize and kill those who are not Muslim.

    * In the Bible, God loves the whole world (even Muslims).
    * In the Qur’an, Allah only loves Muslims, and hates everybody else.

    * In the Bible, God is a God of Truth.
    * In the Qur’an, Allah is the greatest of deceivers.

    * In the Bible, God does not make scientifc mistakes in His Word.
    * In the Qur’an, Allah makes numerous scientific and even historical mistakes.

    * In the Bible, God is personal and approachable.
    * In the Qur’an, Allah is inaccessible and ultimately unknowable.

    * In the Bible, God’s nature is complex (Triune, Trinitarian).
    * In the Qur’an, Allah’s nature is simplistic (Tawheed, allegedly Unitarian).

    * In the Bible, the Messiah is God in the flesh.
    * In the Qur’an, the Messiah is a mere man.

    So is the god of Muslims the same God of Jews and Christians? Not a chance. And, yes, Halal is very different than Kosher. While as Christians we can gladly eat food that is Kosher, for a Christian to knowingly eat food that is “Halal” would be, to use your own term, utterly Haram.

Now, correct me if I’m wrong please, but does your Koran not elsewhere teach that ‘allah has no equals’ and ‘no son’? Ok, then please, to whom is allah referring when he is directly ‘quoted’ by mohammed when he says, “WE have sent down upon OUR servant [Muhammed]….”, etc, etc. Of whom is allah speaking when he uses the pronouns ‘WE’, ‘OUR’ and ‘US’????

    Al, “… you are starting such a vicious propaganda against your fellow citizens from the other faith.”

    Hi Al, there is nothing vicious about speaking Truth, though it seems that way to those who believe in lies. “Propaganda” implies misleading information. There is nothing misleading in pointing out the fact that Mary Brown’s is serving Halal chicken at a number of locations and that Christianity teaches that followers of Christ would do well to avoid food that is sacrificed/blessed in the name of another god.

    Al, “There is no God but Allah simply means that idolatry is strictly forbidden.”

    To the contrary, according to the Bible, there is no God but Yahweh. Since “Allah” is a false god according to Biblical Scripture, “Allah” is a false god and is therefore an idol. Isaiah 45:6, “… know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am YAHWEH, and there is no other …”

    Al, “This also means that Jesus is a prophet, not God.”

    This, too, is another false teaching according to Biblical Scripture. John 1:1, 14, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

    Al, “The name ‘Allāh’ exists in both Aramaic and Hebrew. The corresponding Aramaic form is ʼĔlāhā (also written as Alaha) in Biblical Aramaic and ʼAlâhâ in Syriac, which quite simply means God. It is understood that Jesus would certainly have used this term since it was commonly used in his time and region.”

    Semitic languages with a common root will often have words that sound similar, but to say that Jesus would have said “Allah” and was referring to the same deity of Islam is factually incorrect. Jesus is the only begotten (meaning unique) Son of the Father. “Allah” is not considered a “Father” nor does he have any “begotten” son to give for the sins of humanity. Furthermore, Allah/Alaah/Alah in Hebrew means “curse” or “oath” or “ascend.” For example:

    Zechariah 5:3a, 8a, ”… This is the curse [אָלָה – “alah”] that goes out over the face of the whole earth … This is Wickedness …”

    Isaiah 14:13-14, “For thou [Satan] hast said in thine heart, ‘I will ascend [“alah”] into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend [“alah”] above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.’”

    Muslims shout the “takbir” saying “Allahu Akbar!” It does not mean “God is great” as it is often translated. It literally means “Allah is greater!” But greater than who? Greater than the God of Heaven, perhaps?

    Isaiah 24:6a, “Therefore the curse [“alah”] has devoured the earth, And those who dwell in it are desolate …”

    If “Allah” is the same God that Christians believe in, then why is it that he is never mentioned even once in the Biblical texts? Scrolls and Biblical manuscripts that are dated before Mohammed (who said that the Scriptures were not corrupted during his time) never mention “Allah” one single time, which makes it evident that “Allah” was not the God of Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Isaac, nor of anyone else in the Bible. Not even Ishmael. Their God was and is Yahweh — a name that never appears as the name of any god outside the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, just like the name “Allah” never appears in the Judeo-Christian Scriptures. Per above, the word alah does exist in Hebrew but it is not a proper name and it never refers to God. It is an indisputable fact that ALLAH does not appear even once as the Name of God, or even of a man, in the Hebrew Scriptures. There is no word ‘alah’ or ‘allah’ in the Greek New Testament at all, either. It was, quite simply, unknown in the Bible world. To therefore claim that ‘Allah’ was the name of God in the Bible is without one single shred of evidence. The name of God has always been known as Yahweh, or (much less frequently) by the contraction Yah.

        The “native population” of Canada themselves immigrated from Asia and Polynesia when what is now the Bering Sea between Russia and Alaska was passable by foot. The Inuit, who live in the high Arctic, likely crossed the ice fields that once connected Europe and North America. To infer that nobody else could now immigrate to the New World after they did or that they suddenly became the sole “owners” of an entire continent is farcical. Canada wasn’t invaded, it was cultivated. It wasn’t “illegal immigration.” It was chartered migration.

    anonymous, “Ok, name me halal products that are mixed in with regular grocery products?”

    A few examples of halal products mixed in with regular grocery products are Campbell soups, naan breads, whole chickens and turkeys, not to mention certain fast food chains mixing in and/or selling halal menu items exclusively.

    anonymous, “As for kosher certified products (where a fee is payed then added as a cost to the consumer) I will give you plenty of examples …”

    Kosher products are perfectly fine and have more to do with Jewish dietary laws and less to do with ritualistic slaughter and prayers. Islam requires that a Muslim invoke the name of “Allah” while the animal is being slaughtered (Sura 5:3) in order for it to be considered Halal. Even if a Jewish prayer were required for meat to be Kosher (which it isn’t), Jews and Christians both believe in Yahweh, not in the false deity of Islam.

      Your hatred for Muslims has completely blinded you, kosher is every bit as ritualistic as halal. shechita (Jewish ritualistic slaughter).
      Secondly I avoid eating halal as I do not believe I should be forced to prop up an industry I do not agree with, here in Ontario I find it easier to do this in grocery stores as they always have “halal” items in a halal section or ethnic section.
      On the other hand I find it extremely difficult to avoid kosher certified items from grocery stores as they are bloody everywhere, Jews and Muslims if they want to stick to their dietary requirements, than why are the rest of the population forced to subsidise them. Even my Quaker oats this morning were kosher certified.😡
      My main is issue with kosher and halal is that the manufacturers pay to have the certification and that cost is added on to each product sold. It’s near impossible here in Ontario to go grocery shopping and avoid kosher certified items, I’m about to have lunch and the Alcan foil I’m using in the oven is kosher certified. A small cor sign by the barcode, enough with this hidden tax.

Maybe–just maybe, the “hatred” that we feel is actually TRUE hatred for the ‘god’ of the muslims–who is NO GOD AT ALL!!! allah, and the so-called ‘religion’ that he represents, is a Satanically inspired perversion of the True God of the Hebrew Bible! ALLAH IS SATAN INCARNATE–his every word and deed (including those words and deeds rendered by his “true” followers) lend a clear indication thereof!!! Muslims (who follow the koranic teachings) are the most HATEFUL, SPITEFUL, BLOODTHIRSTY HATERS on the face of God’s (YAHWEH’S) green earth!!!! It’s no wonder that they HATE God’s Chosen People–THEY’RE JEALOUS!!!!!

    anonymous, “Your hatred for Muslims has completely blinded you …”

    There is no hatred of Muslims, but there is for the evil that Islam has deluded them into committing. The Bible forewarned us about Islam in the Book of Revelation. So did Jesus:

    John 16:2b-3, “… the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me.”

    Qur’an Sura 4:89, 8:39, “… Kill the unbelievers [non-Muslims] wherever you find them … And fight with them until … religion should be only for Allah …”

    anonymous, “kosher is every bit as ritualistic as halal. shechita (Jewish ritualistic slaughter).”

    There is no ritual involved in Shechita. It simply refers to the humane manner in which an animal is slaughtered per Jewish law and does not require a prayer for meat to be Kosher. For food to be Halal, however, a prayer to Islam’s deity is required (Qur’an 5:3). Read about it here.

    anonymous, “On the other hand I find it extremely difficult to avoid kosher certified items from grocery stores …”

    Kosher simply means that it adheres to Jewish dietary laws. For example, fruits and vegetables must have no bugs, poultry contains no cheese and has not come into contact with cheese, meat is drained of blood, processed food items do not include meat from certain animals like rabbits, rodents, reptiles, pigs, camels nor the eggs and milk from prohibited animals and are free of shellfish. I’d be surprised if there weren’t a lot of Kosher items at the local grocery store.

    anonymous, “My main is issue with kosher and halal is that the manufacturers pay to have the certification and that cost is added on to each product sold… enough with this hidden tax.”

    You’ve been hornswoggled by cranky crazies. “The rumor that the presence of those mysterious markings signifies that the manufacturers of those products have paid a secret tax to the Jews of America has been afoot for decades … The claim is wholly false, and we wonder at the twisted minds that would advance such a slander. There is no ‘Jewish Secret Tax’ and never has been… Does certification add to the price of a product? Certainly, but the amount is miniscule, especially compared to the advertising, packaging, shipping, research, testing, admin and finance-related costs, and a myriad of other components that contribute to the process of bringing a product to market or making it better appeal to consumers. One might as well rail against the costs associated with selecting the ink colors and style of lettering used on a package …” (Read more here).

    anonymous, “Well I hate all religions equally, why focus on one when you can choose from many.”

    One of the definitions of “religion” is “a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects” — whether they be theistic or atheistic. Your beliefs appear to stem from those specific to secular humanism. That’s fine. You’re free to believe as you wish. But if you “hate all religions equally” then you, by definition, hate your own set of beliefs just as much as any theistic or non-theistic belief system. Instead of so much hate, try allowing love into your heart.

    anonymous, “I’m not interested in any religious Mumbo jumbo, the truth is kosher certification does add to the cost of each item, however ‘minuscule’ that may be. why are the majority of Canadians being forced to subsidise kosher certification? This is extra and completely unnecessary.”

    If you’re not interested in “religious mumbo jumbo” then why are you promoting your own religious belief system? I would encourage you to read articles other than those from white supremacist and other extremist groups that repress common sense and promote anti-Semitic canards.

    In 1975 the cost per item for obtaining Kosher certification was estimated by The New York Times as being 6.5 millionths of a cent ($0.000000065) per item for a General Foods frozen-food item (read more). Even with the rate of inflation, it’s still so small that it barely registers on a CPI Inflation Calculator. So, no, Canadians are not “being forced” to subsidize anything. Like advertising, Kosher certification increases sales, lowers the manufacturing cost per unit and thereby reduces prices overall. When certification helps companies gain additional business, it certainly doesn’t increase prices. If you want to save a fraction of a penny, then you’re more than free to buy other products.

    You’ve completely missed the point. Or, since you’ve been exposed in making such an egregious argument, you’re only pretending to. Fast forward nearly two decades later and in 1991 “a representative of the Heinz Company has said that the per item cost is ‘so small we can’t even calculate it,’ and that such labeling actually makes products less costly by increasing the market for them” (read more). The fact of the matter is that the cost remains so diminutive that it’s virtually non-existant in the real world. Even if the cost had increased by a factor of 100,000 since 1975 for the same item would translate into less than a penny.

    anonymous, “So for the 400,000 Jews in Canada the other 35 Million Canadians are losing choice by being forced to have kosher certified items,for which they have to pay extra to keep the kosher industry afloat…”

    You need some Kosher cheese to go along with the Kosher whine. :) There’s about 200,000 Jews where you live in the GTA, making it Canada’s largest Jewish population center. That’s more than the entire population of most Canadian cities, so don’t be surprised if you find a lot of Kosher grocery items. By the way, it’s not just Jews who buy Kosher, but certain Christian denominations buy Kosher foods as well.

You’ve just demonstrated to everyone here that while attempting to defend the indefensible you’ve now resorted to committing the logical fallacy of argumentum ad hominem — falsely attacking the character or motive of the one making the argument instead of the argument itself.

    anonymous, “Ignorance. All your points are rubish. You sound so convincing but you’re only talking crap just like the idiots on ancient aliens lol sound so convincing but its nothing but lies and garbage upon any inspection.”

    Here are a few questions for your consideration that I ask here:

    * How can the Qur’an truly be a “timeless” and “eternal” miracle from Allah as you’ve been taught if earlier verses revealed to Mohammed needed to be cancelled out and replaced with later verses? A timeless and eternal book would necessitate that all verses be true for all time and not require numerous cancellations over the course of just 23 years.

    * Why would Allah expect you to ignore those early verses and follow the new-and-improved verses when the Qur’an isn’t even arranged chronologically?

    * Why does the Qur’an contradict modern science by claiming that the sun revolves around the earth and not the other way around (sura 21:33; 36:38, 40 and 91:1-2)?

    * Why would the Qur’an claim that stars are actually close to us when the opposite is true (sura 37:6)?

    * Why would the Qur’an claim that bones are formed first and later covered with flesh (sura 23:14) when modern science now knows this to be false?

    * How could the Qur’an fail to identify where male sperm originates (sura 86:6-7)?

    * In light of the fact that even Mohammed — the prophet of Islam himself — did not know for certain what would happen to him in the afterlife (sura 46:8-9, Bukhari V5, B58, #266) why should any Christian who knows beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are guaranteed eternal life through faith in the Jesus of the Bible give up the Christian faith of Jesus for the Islamic faith of Mohammed which we know can guarantee us nothing?

    The prophet of Islam did not believe that the Bible was corrupt while claiming to be receiving the Qur’an and even called upon Christians to adhere to the Scriptures they possessed. According to archaeology, however, the Scriptures we have today are the same texts they had then. As demonstrated in the articles here and here, those Scriptures accurately predicted the rise and fall of Islam. If they accurately predicted the rise of Islam, then chances are that they’ve accurately predicted its fall and the eternal damnation of its followers as well. Fortunately, you can have the same guarantee of eternal salvation that we as Christians share. All you have to do is believe in and put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. Seek the Lord while He may be found, for today is your day to truly believe and tomorrow may be too late. Would you be willing to pray with an open heart and ask God to guide you to His truth, even if that truth is found in Christianity, and not in Islam?

    Qur’an Sura 24:35, “Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth… Allah doth guide whom He will to His light…”

    2 Corinthians 11:14-15, “… for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.”

    Qur’an Sura 3:54, “… Allah is the best of the deceivers.”

    Revelation 13:4; 20:10, 15, “… And they worshiped the dragon [Satan], for he had given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast … and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever … And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”

    Hi Anonymous, in an effort to entice Jewish and Christian converts to Islam, Islam’s “prophet” incorporated a twisted mix of Jewish and Christian teachings with the existing Babylonian religion of Arabia early in his campaign to gain adherents to his “new” monotheistic Arab religion (formerly polytheistic), even going so far as to claim that “Allah” was the same god that Jews and Christians worshiped. But Jews and Christians would not be deceived and, already familiar with the polytheistic religion of the Romans and their Greek gods, understood full well that just as abolishing all other Greek gods except Zeus would not suddenly make Zeus the God of Israel, neither would abolishing all Babylonian gods except for “Allah” suddenly make Mohammed’s god the God of Jews and Christians.

    The fact that Christian Arabs use the word “allah” generically to refer to the title of “God” (elohim) does not change this fact. It is used generically as a title, but not as God’s personal name. In the Arabic Bible, God’s personal name is “Yahweh” and not “Allah.”

    As for Jesus, He wants us to “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11). And that is what I will always do.
