Strong Arguments Against Islam: Introduction

Back to top

Islam is based on a book, the Koran, which is solid, coherent, logical and contains no contradictions. It is said it was revealed by God, through the archangel Gabriel.

The Bible, in opposition, although infallible in terms of doctrine, contains little contradictions, due to distraction or imprecision (of the authors or the scribes), in some details. These details are not relevant for the Christian faith, but put the Bible as a book less solid, coherent and logic when compared with the robust Koran. These contradictions derive from the fact that the Bible is a book inspired by God, but not directly written or dictated by God (or by an angel of God).

There is one major contradiction between the Bible and the Koran:

• the Bible says that Jesus is God
• the Koran says Jesus is not God, only a simple prophet (even less important than Muhammad)

About the crucifixion of Jesus:

• the Bible says Jesus was crucified
• Koran is ambiguous at this point (please refer to Koran 4:157-159). Koran says that the Jews didn't kill Jesus, that Jesus was taken by God. Due to this ambiguity, some Muslims even say that Jesus was not crucified: that somebody else was crucified in His place. As a consequence the sacrifice of Jesus in the cross didn't take place and Jesus has a lot less merit.

Because the Bible contains little contradictions, in terms of details, when the big theological subjects appear and there's a clear contradiction between the Bible and the Koran, the Bible has no force to contain the arguments of the Koran.

As a consequence, Christians are in a weak position, in a theological confrontation with Islam. Even worse: Islam is a religion which appeared after Christianity and was specially conceived to 'attack' the Christian arguments. The conversions of Christians to Islam are thus a logical consequence of the theological 'superiority' of Islam.

The Holy Blood of Jesus

Back to top

In terms of pure theological confrontation between the Bible and the Koran, the Koran is superior. No chance here for the Christians. An extra proof, an extra fact, is required to give credibility to the biblical declarations. This proof exists in the Chapel of the Holy Blood in Bruges, Belgium: it is the Holy Blood of Jesus (please see also the Holy Blood in Wikipedia). The photo, appears here below: hover with the mouse to see the Holy Blood with a zoom effect.

The Holy Blood of Jesus exposed in the chapel of the Holy Blood in Bruges, Flanders, Belgium.

When Jesus was crucified, a roman centurion pierced the chest of Jesus: this blood was stored by someone and remained in the Holy Land until the crusades; it was afterwards taken to Flanders, in Belgium, where it still remains (please refer to the photo). Because it is the blood of an extremely Holy Person, it kept its biological features through the 2000 years time, and can still be seen as blood (indeed, it seems like a portion of bloody flesh): it is a permanent miracle, because normally it should already have decomposed, almost 2000 years ago, like the blood of the other crucified ones...

In practice, we can not proof, only based on the Bible, that Jesus was crucified, but we have an extra physical proof of this event, the Holy Blood of Jesus. As consequences:

1. Jesus was really crucified. The blood of a 'substitute' being crucified would be quickly deteriorated, and wouldn't resist the proof of the time. For instance, there are no traces of the blood of the good thief, neither of the blood of the evil thief, also crucified at that time.
2. If Jesus was indeed crucified, it was not for nothing. He is thus indeed the Suffering Servant of the book of Isaiah. He suffered to carry the sins of Mankind, through the cross. He, who was perfect, accepted this sacrifice to save the Mankind.
3. Jesus (which was already God) wins then an extremely big merit. He is glorified by God above every being, visible or invisible.

We can thus proof the crucifixion and all the biblical theory which derives from the crucifixion. Please note, however,that we are not yet able to proof to the muslims that Jesus is God. This fact keeps a matter of faith.

The Koran is Logical, Coherent, Solid but Not necessarily True

Back to top

Even if a book like the Koran is solid, coherent, solid and without contradictions, this book is not necessarily 100% true.

Solidness + Logical + coherency is not synonym of truth

In opposition, is not because a book like the Bible contains little contradictions, in details not relevant to the faith (but relevant enough to make the catholic/christian doctrine less logical, coherent and solid), that this book is not true. We have some external elements to proof the truthfulness of the Bible, as the Holy Blood.

To proof that a logical, solid and coherent doctrine may not be true, I am going to use a simple Math demonstration.

We assume that x=y (but we can not proof it by facts)

By the theory of the equations

If x = y then x+1 = y+1,

x+2 = y+2

…

x+n = y+n

The preceding reasoning is solid, logical and coherent. Its instantiation is not necessarily true: To be true it is required that x really equals y. Otherwise, the reasoning described before become false even if it is logical, solid and coherent.

Let us thus assume that x is 0 and y is 10. We assume then that x equals y (which is false, but we suppose to be true)

Then we have:

0+1 = 10 +1

0+2 = 10+2

…

0+n = 10+n

or

1 = 11

2 = 12

…

n = 10+n

Because the basis is false, all the consequent reasoning, although logical, coherent and solid, also becomes false.

The Koran May Be a Mix of Logic, Fiction and Supernatural

Back to top

If we do a detailed analysis of the Koran, we can conclude that the Koran is a superior book. It was indeed very well conceived. It is not by hazard that Islam is one of the biggest religions. It contains prophecies, scientific knowledge before time, no contradictions, it confirms the Bible in many points, a strong logic, it remains unchanged, it seems to contain supernatural knowledge and qualities.

I assume that the Koran is an extraordinary book, which could have been conceived by a supernatural being, as an angel. But given its big contradictions towards the biblical catholic doctrine and the declarations of the Virgin Mary (and Jesus) during their numerous apparitions, I don't believe it was conceived by a good being as the angel Gabriel. Please remember that the bible advise us that satan can appear disguised as an angel of light. Satan (or one of his angels) are also very, very intelligent, also know the prophecies and also know science before time.

The koran can thus be very well conceived, with supernatural knowledge, scientific knowledge before time, a lot of truth, but being at the same time, in some points, difficult to proof (but easy to believe), a book of fiction. Fiction can also be logical and appear truthful, if if don't check its coherency against reality. The holy blood of Jesus unmasks this logic of the koran, concerning the mission of Jesus and its suspect omission of the crucifixion, 600 years after the event.

Be Careful: Islam is Right in the Question of Inequality of Genders

Back to top

Please don't forget that, despite some important doctrinal errors concerning Jesus and God, Islam still contains a lot of truth and they're even keeping some holy traditions, asked by the Bible and by heaven, such as the submission of the women to their husbands (Col 3:18) and use of the veil during prayer (I cor 11). Further details in Arguments Against Feminism. That means that in some points (doctrine) we're right and they're wrong, but in other points, because of the changes introduced by modern mentalities, they're right and we're now wrong...

The Corpse of Muhammad Incorruptible?

Back to top

There are Muslim references from the beginning of Islam mentioning that the corpse of Muhammad putrified.

Otherwise: we want to see the photo of his incorruptible body. Please note that we have several Catholic Saints whose corpses became incorruptible, like those of Saint Bernadette, which proofs the apparitions of Our Blessed Mother Mary in Lourdes, France: more details over our incorruptible holy corpses in section Examples of Miracles. An incorruptible body of a visionary of mystical apparitions (Gabriel archangel or Virgin Mary) gives authenticity of the truthfulness of the related apparitions, which is not the case in Islam, but well the case in several Marian apparitions... with photos!

Arab Empire: War Really Required for Spreading Islam?

Back to top

After the unification of Arabia at the time of the "prophet", they went further and began to spread Islam, through... holy war!!! Was Islam in danger? Was it required in Middle East and North Africa, regions under Byzantine Christian (even Catholic) control? To Spread a religion we do war and kill? Was Byzantium threatening Arabia? Were Catholic Christians idolatrous? And the holy war proceeded further north up to Eastern Turkey/Caucasus regions and further West up to Spain and was only stopped in the heart of France... through war between Muslims and Catholics... Who provoked who? Just compare with the Christian expansion in the the Roman Empire... no holy wars... with Christian martyrdom, Christianity became more and more important and became the official religion of the Roman Empire... The Arabs needed really to kill and to steal the land of the others to impose Islam??? Were they not able to convert the persons peacefully? Even the "prophet" Mahomet did it, to take revenge of the city of Mecca...

Islam vs Christianity: Islam and the Bible

Back to top

Islam appeared after Christianity and, as such, was conceived to attack Christianity. Many contradictions of the Bible are however apparent/misinterpretations or small errors of copists (specially in the Old Testament), not relevant to the doctrine. Watch out, however, for the modern versions and translations of the Bible. It is preferred a Bible before 1966, said Our Lady and Jesus in New York. Otherwise, check with the Bible of Jerusalem online and the Bible of the Vatican online, comparing always both versions. This section intends to show some prophecies concerning Islam in the Bible, but also to unmask some of the most important arguments of Muslims concerning the Bible. It is not exhaustive. It is recommended to have a detailed Bible and to ask advice to a traditionalist/ Opus Dei priest when required, in case of theological confrontation with non Catholics, because, despite of their theological errors, they're generally very well prepared.

Arabs/Ismael Should Become a Great Nation

Back to top

Abraham had two sons: Isaac and Ismael. Ismael would become the father of the Arabs, while Isaac, through his son Jacob, would be the father of Israel. You can read the story of Ismael in Genesis 16 and 21. In Gen 21:13 we learn that Yahweh promised to make from Ismael, the son of the slave woman (Agar), also a great nation.

Gen 21:12 "But God said to Abraham: "Do not be distressed about the boy or about your slave woman. Heed the demands of Sarah, no matter what she is asking of you; for it is through Isaac that descendants shall bear your name.

Gen 21:13 As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a great nation of him also, since he too is your offspring."

The Arabs had still to wait several centuries after the time of Abraham (year ~2.000 Before Jesus Christ) and the promise was accomplished with... Muhammad! The Arab Empire became the most powerful nation of the world in the centuries that followed the death of the "prophet". But watch out: God promised to make from the Arabs a great nation and NOT that He would give them a true religion...

Muhammad, a Prophet in the Bible?

Back to top

Muslims claim, wrongly, that Muhammad was implicitly mentioned in the Bible, for instance, in Deut 18:18 or Mat 16:14. Those references to a future prophet are indeed applied to Jesus and not to Muhammad.

Deut 18:18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kinsmen, and will put my words into his mouth; he shall tell them all that I command him.

It is required to read the whole chapter 18 of the book Deuteronomy, namely Deut 18:1-2, to get the context, but afterwards we understand clearly that the brothers/kinsmen are the brother tribe of Levi, thus Jewish and not from Ismael (the Arab Muhammad descends from Ismael). The prophet mentioned shall thus be Jesus.

Deut 18:1 The whole priestly tribe of Levi shall have no share in the heritage with Israel; they shall live on the oblations of the LORD and the portions due to him.

Deut 18:2 Levi shall have no heritage among his brothers; the LORD himself is his heritage, as he has told him.

Concerning Mat 16:14, let us put it in the context:

Mat 16:13 When Jesus went into the region of Caesarea Philippi He asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

Mat 16:14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist, 10 others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

Mat 16:15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

Mat 16:16 Simon Peter said in reply, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."

Jesus is indeed the Messiah and also one of the prophets. Did He not prophesied several times? The prophet is thus not Muhammad.

Rev 12: A Queen with the Moon under Her Feet

Back to top

Rev 12:1 A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

Please refer to the pdf of the section Apocalypse decrypted for remaining details concerning the symbolism of the Queen Virgin Mary. She has a crown of twelve stars and is brilliant like the sun, like the present empire of the European Union, which has the moon/Islam under his feet... the Moon Crescent is the symbol of Islam, like the Cross is the symbol of Christianity... if this interpretation is correct, there's more an evidence that the Bible knew in advance that an Islamic civilization would appear...

Muhammad, the Last Prophet?

Back to top

Muslims claim that Muhammad was the last prophet and closed the cycle of the prophets. At first glance, it "seems" to be true. But:

• St Malachy, a Christian Saint of the Middle Ages, prophesied the prophecy of the popes in 1143, thus, long after Muhammad! Please refer to the pdf of the section Apocalypse decrypted for further details. Another Saint of the XIX century, Don Bosco, also prophesied...
• Jesus and Our Lady appeared several times since then and prophesy(ied) several times. Please refer to the section Links for further details.
• Popes were also prophets, e.g., Pius X...
• Elias and Enoch shall still come to prophesy against the antichrist, prophesied Our Lady in la Sallete. They shall be the two olive trees/ witnesses/ prophets of the book of Revelation, chapter 11.
• ...

Thus, Muhammad was really the last prophet? Really?

Strong Arguments Against Islam: Conclusion

Back to top

The Koran is a solid, coherent and logical book. But not necessarily true. To be true, an extra condition is required: the basis in which the theology of the Koran is built must also be true. That means: the logic behind a reasoning shall also be coherent with the reality: that is not the case of the koran: it is logical, unchanged, but the coherency with reality is missing...

It is not because a book like the Bible contains little contradictions in some details that this book is false. Indeed the Bible is a book inspired by God and, in terms of doctrine, is 100% accurate. There are even some external facts (e.g. the Holy Blood) that proof the doctrinal accuracy of the Bible. In terms of details, the Bible is not 100% accurate, but these details are not relevant to the faith. The Bible is a book inspired by God, but not dictated by God, that's why little imperfections appeared.

Jesus was indeed crucified; as proof, we have His Holy Blood, which resists the time in a natural and miraculous way. As a consequence, the logic of the cross and of the crucifixion of Jesus is true. So, no excuse for the muslims to reject the cross(es). And the koran has no excuses to intentionally deny or omit of the logic of the cross, which is the core of the christianism and is proofed through the presence of the Holy Blood of Jesus.

Note: although the Bible is 100% acccurate in terms of doctrine, it is necessary to refer to a reliable Bible. Our Lady have advised us, in New York (link: Bible rewritten), that satan is polluting the modern bibles with (subtil) doctrine mistakes... So it is important to keep, as reference, a Bible before 1965. Otherwise, please ask advice to a conservative catholic priest (crossing the Bible of Jerusalem with the Bible of the Vatican online, normally should also give one good translation...).

Annex: Prayer for the Conversion of Muslims...

(and for our protection during the Great War)

Back to top

According to the french web site apparitions mariales, (please follow the links 'Dieu parle des autres religions'->'monde musulman'->'le chapelet pour les musulmans'), God the Son gave us a powerful prayer for the conversion of the Muslims, specially those which are sincere Muslim believers.

This prayer, which shall be prayed over the grains of the Rosary, if possible frequently, has the power to convert many Muslims, and also to protect those who pray for their conversion, specially at the time of the Muslim revenge, the great war against the west (further details in topic Apocalypse decrypted): some of them would, thus, consider us, the believers who pray for them, as allies and not as enemies.

This prayer, translated from the French, follows:

- in the big grains, we say (1 time):

"Through the Holy Wounds of Jesus and the Tears of His Holy Mother"

- in the small grains, we say (10 times, 1 time per small grain):

"Sweet Father, make that they know Your Son"
