Braderjoe.....Is it a bonifide moderate Islamic site, or is it an extremist muslim site? Is there a difference?

Why would Islamic countries execute anyone who converts to Christianity? Because they know that if any of thier believers took a hard, honest look at Islam and Christianity then a significant number of thier flock would switch teams. Thier Koran and the religion itself is full of holes that Christianity fills, and the leaders of the Islamic faith know this. Here is my question, and would any Muslim please answer> Why do the Islamic countries have such laws and practices against other religions and what do they have to fear from even the basic knowledge of other religions if Islam is the real path to God?
Here is the OP.....It is not a scientific discussion, and I'm right on topic.

Look Sanspeur, that site may be extremist from your point of view..i dont visit that site much & even if i do its more to read and find out about the scientific verses - but the point is the scientific arguments put there - they do not go against modern science, and like elwill asks - where are the errors that you supposedly claim existed in the verses? None.

Btw if you were to read more you will see that that site was set up in response to certain lies put up by certain extreme christians site - sites such as faithfreedom.org & answeringislam.com among others where lies and distortions about Islam are deliberately published. Its fine if what they put up are what is preached by Islam but nooooo....verses are deliberately distorted and taken out of context with the main aim of making Islam the boogeyman to those visitors who do not have much knowledge about Islam. Why do they do it? Its because they do not have a viable response to Islam. So the only alternative left for them is to lie and state untruths etc and even slander one of the greatest maybe even the greatest man in human history.

Oh...btw that site that you said...you do know that the site http://www.examinethetruth.com/craig_winn_exposed.htm just pointed out that anti-bible site and is not the owner of that site right? In fact the owners of that site is not a muslim. Just thought you'd like to know that.

Again I challenge you to show where in the Quran the verses go against modern scientific knowledge? You will not find any.

So...in return the Muslims do the same? So everything you just said here applies to Islam/Muslims, correct? Let's see how that works...

...whre lies and distortions about Christianity are deliberately published.

I totally agree with atheistSC... you should question everything/everyone. Elders are only men. They do not know it all, nor are they infallible.

Where did you find that stuff, on an Islamic apologetics site? The Mediterranean and Atlantic are constantly exchanging water. The Mediterranean has been metaphorically described as breathing, inhaling surface water from the Atlantic and exhaling deep water in a countercurrent below.

Vertical circulation also occurs because of variations in salinity, as saline water is denser than less saline water, and because warm water tends to rise and cold water tends to sink. Saline input comes from the Mediterranean Sea and to a lesser extent from the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. These seas lie in regions where evaporation exceeds precipitation and inflow. The more highly saline water produced by the net evaporation sinks in the eastern Mediterranean and flows in a deep bottom current, termed the Upper Deep Water, through the Straits of Gibraltar westward into the Atlantic Ocean, while at the surface, less saline Atlantic water flows eastward into the Mediterranean.

ocean current -- Britannica Online Encyclopedia
I already did refute this tidbit of so called science that is purportedly in the quran...... "The waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic do not mix"

Here are a few more...Pick one... http://www.geocities.com/realitywith...radictions.htm
