Part (15/24): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPmOeqU8CvE
Question: If Islam is the best religion, why are many of the Muslims dishonest, unreliable, and involved in activities such as cheating, bribing, dealing in drugs, etc.?
Misconceptions About Islam - By Dr. Zakir Naik.
This is a lecture by Dr. Zakir Naik held in P.U.B. Auditorium, Singapore, 17 October, 1998. In this video he answers some of the most common misconceptions non-Muslims have about Islam.
A medical doctor by professional training, Dr. Zakir Naik is renowed as a dynamic international orator on Islam and Comparative Religion. Dr. Zakir Naik clarifies Islamic viewpoints and clears misconceptions about Islam, using the Qur’an, authentic Hadith and other religious Scriptures as a basis, in conjunction with reason, logic and scientific facts.
Dr. Zakir is popular for his critical analysis and convincing answers to challenging questions posed by audiences after his public talks. In the last 6 years (by the year 2002), Dr. Zakir Naik has delivered more than 600 public talks in the U.S.A., Canada, U.K., Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, South Africa, Mauritius, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Hongkong, Thailand, Guyana (South America) and many other countries, in addition to numerous public talks in India.
He has successfully participated in several symposia and dialogues with prominent personalities of other faiths. His public dialogue with Dr. William Campbell (of USA), on the topic, “The Qur’an and the Bible in the light of Science” held in city of Chicago, U.S.A., on April 1, 2000 was a resounding success.
Sheikh Ahmed Deedat, the world famous orator on Islam and Comparative Religion, who had called Dr. Zakir, “Deedat plus” in 1994, presented a plaque in May 2000 awarded to Dr. Zakir Abdul-Karim Naik for his achievement in the field of Da’wah and the study of Comparative Religion with the engraving “Son what you have done in 4 years had taken me 40 years to accomplish, Alhamdullilah.”

A Nuslim scholar …
A Nuslim scholar dedicated 15 yrs of his life to the study of Islam. He concluded Islam was false. He found that the Koran couldn’t exist without the tenets of the Christian Bible. We Know a Christian worked for Mohammed to write the “revelations” if he wrote the Revelations then He probably also wrote the whole Koran.
Make your own conclusion and seek wisdom.

Well the phenomenon …
Well the phenomenon of one entity of divine taking form into different forms(like as humans, or as other life, or as a soul) is the essence of polytheist religions, like in Hinduism. So if you classify as christianity as monotheistic, according to your prescribed logic, then even Hinduism should be considered monotheistic.

So you are saying …
So you are saying that Christianity describes god to be present as one unit in different forms, either flesh or soul. Well this is exactly what polytheism is all about,

“Similarly, if you want to judge Islam, dont judge the followers, judge the authentic source; the Qu’ran and the Hadiths”.

The short version …
The short version of that explanation would be “God is all powerful, he can do anything” *lol* Which is the convenient answer to so many religious conundrums…

I believe the …
I believe the Christian logic goes something like this: God, being omnipotent, can assume many forms, including both flesh and spirit. But he is also - according to Christians - omnipresent, meaning he exists in everything, and therefore can assume many forms at the same time. So, by taking the form of flesh (as Jesus) and “dying”, he remained present and “alive” in an infinite number of different forms, both flesh and spirit.

Yes they are …
Yes they are considered parts of the same entity but therein the problem lies. Christians believe that Jesus (peace be upon Him) died for the sins of mankind. If the theory on one entity is correct, that is the same as saying God died. Not only is that heresy in its greatest form, the practical question arises of, who was running the universe whilst God (and His associated entities) were dead? Even more importantly, how can God — to which no concept of birth and death apply — die?

“Christian is a …
“Christian is a polytheismic religion as their belief is in the Holy Trinity, i.e. three divine entities.” I’m not a Christian, but that is incorrect. The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost are not considered seperate entities by any denomination of Christianity - they are considered three parts of the same (1) entity.

Its strange that …
Its strange that you have just said what you did. I dont think you watched the video before posting. Let me give a brief summary; dont judge the religion, judge the followers. However within all religions, sects and communities you will find “blacksheep”. It is these blacksheep that have been responsible for countless deaths you are referring to. The deaths are caused by people, or more appropriately, their greed for material objects. I only have to mention the word “oil” for you to understand.

Mace180,
Although all religions teach mutual respect, Islam is the only religion that teaches monotheism and the belief in one true God.
Christian is a polytheismic religion as their belief is in the Holy Trinity, i.e. three divine entities.
Judiasm teaches that God is only for the Jews. Therefore non-jews must have another God.
Islam teaches that God is only one and for all of mankind, not limited to a certain group or split into different entities.

Pure quality statement.

I’m none of the above. I’m just a Muslim.

your statement is …
your statement is misleading, you say all religions are good then you name the Abrahamic religions. Those three religions have been responsible for countless deaths and a terrible amount of segregation. Your perfect religions are a delusion.
