Nabeel Qureshi was mentioned in the interview. But Khan is rather zealous of reaching the Muslims, even the hardcore Islam scholars. And his unique technique, not sure if it's developed by him or his other fellow co-workers (Pastor Greg Armstrong, Alex Kerimli, etc.) who run a sort of global ministry (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skool.com\/christ\">online<\/a>?) called Christian Underground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the unique approach Khan claims was to use only Torah against only Qur'an. Pointing out various odd stories the Qur'an mixed up about the Torah in order to show that there's no reason for the Torah to be corrupted, which consequently could only mean that the Qur'an is corrupt. I would say that this approach is close to the Islamic Dilemma: <em>a theological argument, primarily posed by Christian apologists, highlighting a contradiction between the Quran's affirmation of the Bible (Torah and Gospel) and its denial of key biblical doctrines.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They do run a rather active online community, free sign up at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skool.com\/christ\">https:\/\/www.skool.com\/christ<\/a>. They also seem to be very dedicated to what Khan's motto seems to be: Why deport Muslims? Why hate them? why not convert them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just went on their first interactive stream today and Alex (later Armstrong) was giving the lecture on the Passover (the Qur'an completely lacks this concept) and the fact that Qur'an said that Moses took the Israelites out of Egypt without Pharaoh's permission. And I also tackled deeper, primarily with the help of A.I. on this fascinating topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it's good, I'll summarize their <strong>Master Key<\/strong> of <strong>Deconstructing <\/strong>the REAL 5 pillars of Islam and <strong>Constructing <\/strong>the Biblical 5 pillars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Islam<\/strong>:<br>1. The Torah was Corrupted<br>2. The Quran and the Torah have the Same Author (God)<br>3. Abraham and Ishmael travelled to Mecca and Built the Kaaba<br>4. Ishmael is the Father of the Meccan Arabs and Muhammad was an Ishmaelite<br>5. Muhammad Followed in the Pattern of Previous Prophets and Received his Revelation Similarly to Moses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Biblical<\/strong>:<br>1. Original Sin<br>2. Blood Atonement is Necessary<br>3. Theophanies<br>4. The suffering Servant<br>5. The Gospel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, there's already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.academia.edu\/164814140\/Debunking_Greg_Armstrong_and_Alex_Kerimli_s_THE_MASTER_STRATEGY_FOR_REACHING_MUSLIMS_Volume_1_pillar_1_3\">attempt<\/a> to debunk their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learned a few things (Thanks to Google AI's help):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>two main kinds of suras<\/strong> (chapters) in the Qur'an are <mark><strong>Meccan<\/strong> and <strong>Medinan<\/strong><\/mark>, classified by whether they were revealed <strong>before or after<\/strong> the Prophet Muhammad's migration (<strong>Hijrah<\/strong>) to <strong>Medina<\/strong>. Meccan suras focus on faith and the afterlife, while Medinan suras address social, political, and legal issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Meccan Suras (Makkiyyah):<\/strong> Generally revealed earlier (86 total). They are usually shorter, with shorter verses, focusing on belief in Allah, Paradise\/Hell, and stories of past prophets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Medinan Suras (Madaniyyah):<\/strong> Revealed after the Hijrah (28 total). They are typically longer and deal with laws, community organization, family life, and rules of war.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On the Passover, since I took a look today, it's interesting that according to Google AI, a Muslim scholars would argue that the lack of Passover in Quranic Exodus was intentional, based on the principle <strong>\"No bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another\"<\/strong> (Qur'an 6:164). So by this principle, the whole concept of sacrificial lamb is also removed on top of the 10th plague in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the Christian response would generally be (Google AI):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proportionate justice<\/strong> (Genesis 12:3, Exodus 1:22, the sin of Egypt),<br><strong>Divine sovereignty<\/strong> (original sin is unavoidable, everyone eventually dies, God choosing the <em>timing<\/em> of that death is not an act of injustice), and<br><strong>Redemptive foreshadowing<\/strong> (The plague was not restricted by ethnicity, any Egyptian who feared the God of Israel and followed the instructions to put blood on their doorposts would have been spared.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone in the discussion also mentioned that his <strong>Muslim friends gave him a hard time about the fact that in Joseph's time, Pharaohs do not exist, only kings in Egypt<\/strong>. Which is true, that Pharaoh was not a title used before the New Kingdom in Egypt. But this would just be <strong>anachronism <\/strong>in literature (like King David longed for his <strong>Coca-Cola<\/strong> from his hometown), and the Bible use \"Pharaoh\" and \"king\" interchangeably (i.e. Genesis 39:20 and Exodus 1:8). The word <em>Pharaoh<\/em> literally means <strong>\"Great House\"<\/strong> and thus could just be descriptive of supreme authority of Egypt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Allie's best podcast for sure, this interview with Shahriq Khan: It's the first time I heard of this guy.
