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.
