Catholicism & Islam.

I was wondering if there are any Catholic Apologetics against Islam on the net or books?

There is a gentleman who sometimes writes articles featured on www.catholicexchange.com who also has a book. Can't recall his name offhand. Don't know if they are Catholic or not but there is an extensive website called www.answeringislam.com (I think) that might be useful.

you could always go with the CCC # 841

"The churches relationship with the muslims.
'The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the creator, in the first place amongst whom are the muslims; these profess to hold the faith of abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankinds Judge on the last day.'"

all though you have to consider the fact that the faith of abraham holds that he was going to sacrifice issac and the muslims hold that he was gonna sacrifice ishamael, and also the fact that they consider jesus not god. But who am i to argue with inspired councils and popes.

The ccc offers not much on muslims but is a good source as many quote from it.

I never heard of the Ishmael being sacrificed bit.

He disowned Ishmael and his mother after Issac was born.

According to the Muslims.

According to the Muslims.

The Qur'an does not explicitly state which son of Abraham was supposed to be sacrificed in the famous episode of Abraham sacrificing his son. Today most Muslims, whether Sunnis or Shi`ites, believe that it was Ishmael, in contrast to the Biblical record that it was Isaac. However, many early Muslim commentators believed and stated clearly that the child of sacrifice is Isaac. They base their conclusions on many hadith from the companions of Muhammad themselves.

Looks like the islam of yesterday is not the islam of today.

What do you mean?

There are a lot of islamic sites that try to convert Christians by using cartoons to capture our youth. The worst one is at islamreview.org and I deliberately left out the www to disable it from being a direct link. The home page seems okay but when you open to the onsite books, then the deception is more obvious. It is designed professionally to draw people into islam. Unfortunately it seems that there is nothing we can do to get this Texan site off the air. They are openly advocating open jihad against us. I wonder if Homeland Security or the FBI knows about them.

There is a problem in converting muslims to Christianity as it often leads to martyrdom. www.islamreview.com is a group composed of Orthodox and Catholic Coptic Christians. This is the best site out there. Have you visited it?

Prayerfully yours in Christ,
