[QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [QB] Hi Jennifer and Carmen Nice to see you both posting here again! The point of my posting was actually addressing the academic standards used on the website to try to discredit Islam rather than to comment on the authenticity of the Bible. However, my comment about the Bible was based on a report I read from an Ecumenical Council in the 90’s that had come to the conclusion that only 25% of the Bible was actually authentic, the rest being stories to illustrate theological points, facts that couldn’t be authenticated, hearsay, etc. etc. Sorry, I didn’t keep the reference and I couldn’t find it on a quick internet search. I will keep looking and let you know if I find it. I don’t deny that there are many different sects/branches/schools of thought in Christianity, but it would also not be academically sound to quote ideas just from those that supported an anti-Christianity thesis and then generalize them and to ignore/minimise the ideas of the others as this writer has done. The writer on this website had attempted to discredit Islam by using many different methods, including using information that the majority of Muslims have themselves declared to be untrue and she tried to discredit the Qur’an by applying standards she didn’t apply to the Bible. She chose and interpreted partial and selected Qur’anic quotes (as kimo72 said) and she carefully selected the scholars whom she quoted (actually kimo72, as far as I know most of them are Muslims scholars, although maybe not all Arabs, but they had specific perspectives that were useful to the author) to emphasise her points, avoiding those that would contradict her thesis. (Which is also why Muslims became so irate with Salman Rushdie, as he also tried to use partial quotes in addition to blaspheming the Prophet!) She also used western theories to ‘prove’ what the Prophet did was harmful, which would be like saying to Christians today that Jesus was wrong to remain celibate, because look what the Church clergy are doing today as a result! moshko, I am not denying that she quoted from the Qur’an and I didn’t, but I’m not trying to give an academic answer here to all her points, just making a general comment on a website forum;-) …read on, perhaps when you have read a bit more of the site you will also eventually come across the points that I am making reference to!
