Islam claims the Qur’an is God’s perfect, final dictation, yet it contains obvious falsehoods - Christians worshiping Mary as part of the Trinity, Haman serving Pharaoh, Meccan crops of olives and wheat that could not exist - errors that shatter the premise of divine perfection. Even more troubling are the origins: Muhammad’s first encounters left him convulsing, terrified, and suicidal, convinced he was possessed by a spirit, until reassured by others it was an angel. These private, fearful experiences stand in stark contrast to Christ’s public ministry, where every word and deed was open, consistent, and confirmed by His resurrection.
Christianity initially spread through preaching and martyrdom, the Spirit moving hearts without armies or coercion, while Islam spread largely by conquest, its early caliphs extending the faith through the sword. The difference in fruits is equally clear: the Gospel produced a civilization that nurtured freedom of conscience, philosophy, and science, while Islam has often left societies bound to rigid legalism and intellectual stagnation. One faith begins in the open with peace, light, and love, the other in secrecy with fear, compulsion, and error - and that difference unmasks the source.
