Recently I have been thinking about how to refute attacks against Islam in the most efficient way. I was pondering over this issue for quite some time, and then it came to me: after reading many attacks on Islam and on other faiths from different places, I realized that most faiths when they are defending themselves, will us a technique that I call: DROWN ME IN THE OCEAN. They begin to answer the attack and soon you find yourself drowned in the amount of information, big words, and quotations. It is a technique applied by many christians especially Sam Shammoun and others of answeringislam web site. They loose you in their arguments, and after reading an essay that sounds amazing, uses quotes from different books, names that cannot even be pronounced and words that would take you time to find in the dictionary and even more time to digest, you find yourself satisfied by the quantity and not the quality.
So what I decided to do is the opposite. I will try to keep it as simple as possible when refuting attacks. My articles will still be lengthy for those who can follow them, but the argument will be refuted in a couple of lines at the beginning. I am convinced based on experience that this can be easily done by the will of Allah.
For example:
attack (from a Christian who believes in the Old testament and New Testament): Muhammad was not a prophet because he had more than one wife.
answer: so did Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon and you still consider them as prophets. According to that criteria you did not prove anything.
