Response
to James White appeal to Muslims:
Get Rid of Nadir Ahmed, do you not see he is embarrassing you?
Some
have emailed me regarding the New Testament debate which took place in Norfolk,
VA (which will be made available on my site shortly), and asked I respond to
the urgent appeals of www.aomin.org
for Muslims to “get rid” of Nadir Ahmed because, the Christian missionaries,
who are focused on converting them to Christianity are very concerned
for the well-being of Muslims and their religion, and they just playing that
father figure for them, and watching out for their best interests!
Ok,
so you might be thinking:
OH MY GOD!!! HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE!! ARE MUSLIMS REALLY THIS
FOOLISH TO TAKE THE FALSE ADVICE OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES TRYING TO
CONVERT THEM
TO GET RID OF ONE OF THEIR MUSLMS WHO
EXPOSES THEIR FALSEHOOD???
Well,
I think and important point to be made here. The greatest struggle for many
immigrant Muslims is to fit in and be cool and be accepted by the crowd - which
is normal.. it is the same struggle for Hindus, Vietnamese and Japanese
immigrants alike. Christian missionaries have spent a lot of time studying the psychology
of Muslims and Asians. And they know, that even though they may reject the
Trinity, they do share common values. They understand the weakness of Muslims..
and they are going to exploit it. Therefore people like James White know one
thing about Muslims - Some immigrant Muslims share
common values with them, which is... they are fond of and adore the 'etiquettes
and decorum of academic formality'.
James
White appeals to this - First he appoints himself as the spokesperson for all
scholars, college professors, and doctors in
White points out that Nadir Ahmed of ExamineTheTruth.com
is
a departure from the 'etiquettes and decorum of academic formality'. For
example, Nadir Ahmed politely confronted a person in front of an
audience who accused him of having sex with prostitutes. This lie has been
spread throughout the internet... Nadir believes this would be a good time to
expose the culprit who is responsible for it, and expose their plots. Now, even
though defending one's honor is something that goes without saying, this is not
something which scholars, college professors and doctors would ever do, according
to White. As a self appointed spokesperson for them, James White assures us
that they will all look down upon Nadir Ahmed and ExamineTheTruth.com, and you
as a Muslim will be embarrassed, James White promises you.
So,
now that you understand what is the real source of embarrassment, I want you to
picture the following scenario - you walk into Starbucks coffee shop... or let's
say a borders bookstore to meet all your buddies from the college fraternities
and the sororities and all of a sudden... everyone stops what they are doing
and turns around to you and say: dude... that guy you claimed to represent
Islam he embarrassed you guys so bad... I’m sorry Abdullah, but you guys really
looked bad... and then everyone just smirks and nod
their heads. For many Muslim immigrants this condemnation is valid - because
they share the same values with them. This a real fear
which so many immigrants live with everyday of their lives, and James White
attempts to exploit this fear.
In
conclusion, I think James White raises some very interesting questions - what
are the real priorities? Where should be our focus?? Are being accepted by the in-crowd and looking
cool with your fraternity friends more important... or the issues which Nadir
Ahmed raises in the debate:
ü
The New Testament is completely baseless and
has not a single shred of evidence in the universe to support it. The
Christians are living in complete deception
ü
In order to protect their religion of 100%
blind faith from being exposed, Evangelical Christian leaders all over the
world must resort to hatching clever plots to "get rid" of those who
dare challenge the foundations of Biblical Christianity... and champion Islam
as the truth.
ü
There is a clear relationship between the first
2 points stated above – baseless religions depend upon deceptive plots to protect
it from being exposed. I hope the audience can see this connection.
However,
for many, the priority of fitting in to American society, and sipping a $4.00
coffee with the popular boys and girls in school far exceeds any other
priority, and the Christian missionaries know this.
