Forgiveness: Muslim + Christian Views
Effectively, Christians believe God transferred the sin of mankind upon (a person of) Himself and had Himself killed at the hands of a bunch of Jews and Romans in order to forgive sin. On the other hand Muslims believe God simply forgives sin out of His Mercy without a need to kill Himself.
The Muslim view does in fact make more sense once an individual considers the Attributes of God and the history of sin.
The History of Sin
Does sin have a point of inception? It does. The concept of sin only came into existence due to God. Think about it; an individual down the road who happens to have sexual intercourse is commiting sin because he is doing this act in an unmarried state whilst the individual next door is doing the SAME act but not committing a sin as his actions are under the umbrella of marriage. Who set the criteria of what constitutes sin and what does not? God.
So Who brought the concept of sin into existence? God.
Did God kill Himself in order to bring the idea of sin into existence? No.
Think about it, if God can introduce the idea of sin without a need to kill Himself then surely you can believe God can forgive people without sacrificing Himself.
NOTE: For intellectual honesty purposes it must be stated there is a distinction between the idea of sin and the act of sin.
Attributes of God
The relevant attributes of God for the purposes of this article are:
*God being the Ever Living
*God being the Forgiver
We realise God does not die and is the Forgiver of sin; therefore the Christian belief of God dying for the sin of people is problematic but the Islamic belief of God forgiving without dying is in line with a consistent and correct view of God
So, do we need God to sacrifice Himself in order to forgive sinners? No. The Islamic view of God simply forgiving out of His Mercy is sufficient.
All this philosophising does throw further refutation upon the neo-Christian idea of atonement

New Low: "Christian" Islamophobes Make Homosexuality Claim Against Islam
Here we have it folks. Pastor Joseph and Brother Hamoudy claiming Islam allows and even encourages homosexuality!
This, of course, is blatantly untrue; these two Christians on the 'News and Views' show (via the Aramaic Broadcasting Network)) were obviously wrong; everybody and their dog KNOWS Islam does NOT allow homosexuality and is in fact very striclty against the homosexual act.
I guess the axiomatic truth is no obstacle for Pastor Joseph and Brother Hamoudy - these two Christians make it quite apparent they have no regard for accuracy and truth. They are shown to be the charlatans they clearly are in this embarrassing and spectacular video.
The scholars at Islamonline discuss homosexuality:
The Qur’an tells us the story of the people of Lut (Lot), who deviated from the natural way and got involved in this abnormality, refusing every word of advice from their Prophet Lut. Thus, their destiny was destruction and punishment. Almighty Allah says: “And Lo! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you? Lo! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay, but ye are wanton folk. And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk, forsooth, who keep pure. And We rescued him and his household, save his wife, who was of those who stayed behind. And We rained a rain upon them. See now the nature of the consequence for evil doers!” (Al-A`raf: 80-84)
The eminent Muslim scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, states:
“Almighty Allah has prohibited illegal sexual intercourse and homosexuality and all means that lead to either of them. This perverted act is a reversal of the natural order, a corruption of man’s sexuality, and a crime against the rights of females.

Sam Shamoun, from Christianity to the Nation of Islam (NOI) !!
I must say that this blew me off my feet. What can I make out of it, except to say that things are making sense now. Sam Shamoun's deep hatred for Islam, his foul languages when engaged in discussions with Muslims, his psychological imbalances that he presents in his debates. As a major of psychology, being fascinated with human thought, feelings/emotions, personality and what influences I must say that things are making sense. I no longer look at Sam Shamoun in a puzzled way for his hatred, his deliberate manipulations and distortions (and more important the fact that he himself believes he is truthful) of Islam.
Sam Shamoun was Nation of Islam for aprox. 4 years and then he reverted back to Christianity. I never knew that and this was never mentioned by him, or by anyone else in any of his introductions or biographies on any of his work. I wonder why? Does he hate Islam so much that he cannot even mention that at one point he was part of at least some kind of offshoot of it?
I do have to be fair and say that I appreciate the fact that at least he does not pull the so often common trick of I WAS A MUSLIM I KNOW ISLAM, I AM AN APOSTATE NOW, I AM A SCHOLAR OF ISLAM. At least he says that Nation of Islam are not considered Muslims, over which there is no disagreement amongst the Ahlul Sunnah wa Jamah, those who follow the prophet Muhammad pbuh.
May Allah guide Sam Shamoun. I am calling for a world wide duaa/prayer for Sam Shamoun from all the Muslims, to ask Alalh the Most High to guide Sam Shamoun, to open his heart and to remove the hatred and replace it with love as it was done before to many people who hated Islam, hated the prophet pbuh, yet they became the ones who loved them the most.
Watch the following video in which Sam admits he was part of Nation of Islam.

AL ARABIYA: While NY debates its ‘Ground Zero’ mosque, Saudi builds mosque near the North Pole
AL ARABIYA: While NY debates its ‘Ground Zero’ mosque, Saudi builds mosque near the North Pole
A Saudi journalist decided to build a mosque in the extreme north of Canada for Muslims who have for long has a small wooden hut for a place of worship. Its name will be The Mosque at the End of the World.
In 10 days’ time, a mosque will be erected in the Canadian town of Inuvik, 200 kilometers from the North Pole. The northwestern town, with a population of 3,700, is home to 75-80 Muslims, mostly Arabs, who have no place to pray except a mobile hut that can only take half of them.
The town, whose name means ‘place of man’ in Eskimo language, is known for its soaring prices due to its remote location and the time it takes for goods to reach it especially during its freezing winter where the temperatures reaches 40 degrees below zero.
Building a mosque in Inuvik required a minimum of $750,000 as well as a team of experts, which was not available in the town. This is when Saudi journalist Dr. Hussein Saud Qasti came in.
Qasti, who runs a charity organization with his wife in the province of Manitoba, got wind of the frustration of Inuvik’s Muslims and decided to build them a mosque.
He collected donations from several Arabs in different parts of Canada and Iraqi engineer Ahmed al-Khalaf who lives in Inuvik. A Saudi woman, who asked for her name to be withheld, donated $190,000.
The total cost of the mosque is estimated at half a million dollars, that is $250,000 less than the cost estimated by the residents of Inuvik.
Al Arabiya contributed to the details that added to the mosque’s uniqueness when it suggested the name ‘The Mosque at the End of the World’.

James White Rebuked by Muslims
Right, for those who want a quick backdrop as to why Muslims are rebuking James White I will inform you White, in his debate with Sheikh Awal, claimed Allah repents in Surah 2:37 and he (White) was later taken to task on this issue and his odd claim was styled a “lie” as NO translation of the Quran agreed with James White’s assertion. Sheikh Awal was stunned and confused over White’s bizarre proclamation too.
Subsequently James White was harshly rebuked (see here) and criticised for being inconsistent and inaccurate. White responded by claiming he was RIGHT (even though ALL the expert translators of the Verse disagreed with him). White cited a bloke from a missionary website as proof he was RIGHT and thus all the EXPERTS WERE WRONG!!! See Appendix 1 for the article in which James White is adamant he is right (and thus EVERY expert translator is incorrect), evocatively titled as “Facts for the Honest (To Be Ignored by the Dishonest)”
Muslim Apologist, 1MoreMuslim, Gives James White a lesson in Arabic grammar and a Stern Ticking Off
The latest (and final) chapter was an Arabic speaker giving James White a lesson in Arabic grammar and REBUKING James White and confirming what we all KNEW – that James White is in the wrong. It's time for White to come clean and up his level of scholarship. Here is 1MoreMuslim’s rebuke and lesson directed at James White:
Conclusion – White involved himself in inaccurate and inconsistent scholarship
James White shunned ALL expert translations and translators in favour of a bloke on the internet who is NOT qualified in Arabic. Once James White was found out he adamantly insisted he was RIGHT and started accusing those who found him out of dishonesty. James White was left with no hiding place after 1MoreMuslim exposed his dodgy internet translation to be grammatically incorrect.
White KNOWS he cannot just go around eschewing (shunning) expert scholarship and translations in favour of a dodgy missionary translation on the internet as this is inconsistent and intellectually dishonest. White KNOWS this but his pride fails to allow him to admit to his error.
James White is being inconsistent. To paraphrase James White; inconsistency is the sign of a failed argument and a failed faith too.
If White deceived you with his helping of inaccuracy please contact him and let him know of your disapproval.
May God guide us all and may God bless those who took part in bringing James White’s misinformation, inconsistency and unreliability to the fore. Ameen.

James White’s fallacious article in its entirety (increase screen size to read it comfortably):
Facts for the Honest (To Be Ignored by the Dishonest)
06/25/2010 - James White
For the few who are interested in the brief statement I made (styled a "lie" by the PPO&D, the "promoters of perpetual outrage and dishonesty"---a new term I have quoted for a certain very small, very irrelevant, but very vocal group of Muslim trouble-makers) at one point in the debate with Sheikh Awal, pointing out the contradiction between his asserting the Bible cannot be the Word of God because God "repents" (the Hebrew is nacham) and the fact that Allah is described as "oft-repenting." I made reference to Surah 2:37 simply because it was the first in a long list of substantiating texts. It says: "Then Adam received commandments from his Lord, and his Lord repented (fataba) towards him; for He is Oft-Repenting (huwa al-tawwabu), Most Merciful." He is oft-repenting. What's so difficult to understand? Well, it's simple: Muslims, as I demonstrated over and over again a few days ago, have one standard for the Bible, another standard for the Qur'an. "Oh, well, in the Qur'an, that means..." and off they go. But, if you attempt to explain that nacham likewise has a contextual meaning in the Bible, they ignore your explanation. So, the Qur'an can be explained, the Bible cannot. Double standards. Inconsistency. Sign of a failed argument, and in this case, a failed religion.
