I am looking forward to your new page on "Freethought." I by the way am not
a practicing Muslim, and never was. What got me into this religious debate
was Jochen Katz web site which I bumped into by chance. Latter I found your
"Islamic Awareness" page and from there links to "Biblical criticism"
(i.e articles of TSR).
I think you are absolutely correct about Katz. I have never seen more
intellectual dishonesty and double standard as I see in Katz. He will argue
days after days about "Mary sister of Aaron" verse, and yet deny obvious
and clear contradictions in the Bible. The more I talked to Katz and his
friends and saw this double standard this has caused me to develop strong
sentiment against Christianity. He does have some strong points against
Islam, specially the section "Is Quran miraculous" (i.e eloquence) and
against Murice Bucail book, he makes good points. Most of his other things
specially "Contradictions in the Quran" are ridiculous (Most of them if
not all).

This is exactly what I asked you one year ago. Christianity claims that
there is no salvation except through Jesus, Islam claims that shirk cannot
be forgiven and I wrote to you that I feel both of them might be wrong.
(You never replied).
Anyway I still do not feel like leaving Islam completely (even though I am
not a practicing Muslim, never was).I probably should read more Muslim
apologetics before I make up my mind. The other thing is that I enjoy
debating with Katz and his friends, they won't debate with me if they know
I am not a Muslim
(That is what they do, "leading Muslims to Christ", not agnostics).
