| I just don't get it. They live in New York, I live in New York. They claim that Islam is true, I claim that Jesus is Lord. They like to argue, I like to argue. It would seem, wouldn't it, that some public debates would already be in the works? Not at all. I contacted them, but they didn't respond. And they're even posting our videos now!
Amazingly, while many liberal Muslims can't stand these guys because of their views, I actually respect them for proclaiming what Islam really teaches. I hope that they will eventually gain enough confidence to defend their views in public debate.
As things stand, they only seem willing to debate their fellow Muslims.
I think Sam and I will challenge them publicly next time on "Jesus or Muhammad."
*****UPDATE***** Well, I finally heard back from our friends at "Revolution Muslim." Yes, they refuse to debate, and they gave the classic "You-reject-Islam-so-there's-no-point-in-debating-you" excuse. Then the leader called me a "nigger" and threw many other insults at me (not to mention my mother!), in an email worthy of Nadir Ahmed's website. As it turns out, I was totally wrong about these guys. Based on the video I had seen, I assumed that they were intelligent young Muslims eager for dialogue and debate. After receiving a single email, I see that they are spoiled children eager for attention, but not knowledgeable enough to discuss their beliefs rationally. They have no business sharing the podium with anyone.
