Biblical prophecy is pretty much demolished on the boards and that is generally way better than the attempts at prophecy from the Quran.

Attempts to 'discover' advanced scientific knowledge in the Bible have been pretty much shown up to be without foundation, yet they are way far better than the attempts at 'discovering' advanced scientific knowledge in the Quran.

And the crude hi -jacked Creationism we get from muslims makes Ray Comfort look positively intelligent.
I think much of it has to do with what you said above in the first quoted section. For many brothers and sisters English is the second language and therein a lot of the time detail, mastery in explanation, etc, and so on, cannot be brought to it's full extent.

I personally would suggest - if you are looking for an in depth conversation with English as a first language regards the subject above go to... Ummah Forums. There's a tremendous amount of knowledge and knowledgeable English speaking Muslims there.

Preaching and posting chunks of text is unconvincing
It's unconvincing AND uncreative, unoriginal, etc.

So I only want to say that your message is a good one. The quality of Muslim posting badly needs to be improved. The present impression we are getting only confirms out prejudices about Islam as a mindless fanatical creed which turns intelligent people into brainless robots shouting religious slogans as though as a threat.
I understand. Sometimes, given the barriers of communication and even further too the frustrated emotions behind those barriers can really leave people getting carried away.

That is very unfair to Muslims, and I would love to see some more intelligent posting and discussion from your sisters and brothers.
I'll post every now and then and i'll also throw this link around to some good people I know. Perhaps we can get some more communication in here.

O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily those on whom you call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly snatches away a thing from them, they will have no power to release it from the fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought. The Noble Quran
the flies digest their food before they eat it.
They literally vomit digestive and dissolving substances on the food particle to dissolve it whole into liquid and then they suck it all in.



another miracle

more than 1400 years the prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that one of the wings of the fly has ailment
and the other has cure.

"If a fly falls down to your vessel,
drown all of it then remove it,
for one of its wings has the ailment
and the other has the cure,"
