Jalal Abualrub vs. Answering Islam
Preliminary note: Why have many of Jalal Abualrub's articles disappeared?
The latest rebuttals to Abualrub's claims in writing, audio or video
are now located on this page.
Jalal Abualrub first contacted us on 29 November 2004 with a
debate challenge.
After a couple of months of correspondence, he finally wrote
on 29 January 2005:
I am not going away ... until the day when I see your website either shut
down its evil doors for its confused and fanatical customers, or else I
will expose you lying statement by lying statement, and one writer at a
time. And I will have great fun dismantling your articles and then your
entire religion. Indeed, Allah is the Lord even if the criminal polytheists
and disbelievers hate Him.
... i am going to target your website, your authors, your articles, and
then you with rebuttal after rebuttal and challenge your lies and distortions
one after another, and encourage muslims to do the same, and will also target
your religion with criticism, articles that contain much evidence revealing
the contradictions in your book, the creed that you invented on your own,
etc...the only way you can avert this is by you shutting down your hateful
website and disbanding the liars you have for writers...islam is winning
this in a big way and christianity is lossing in a big way...
This page will document the progress of Mr. Abualrub's project and list further
rebuttals to claims made by him:
- Answers to Abualrub's attack on the article "One Adam or Two?"
- The Prostration to Adam — A Quranic Problem
([Part 1], [Part 2])
provides a detailed rebuttal to his arguments
- The Appearance of a Scholar examines Abualrub's methodology
In reaction to this, Abualrub published three long and incoherent articles.
Our responses to some of his many claims:
- Written in response to many of the claims made by Abualrub:
- Abualrub's "next step" was made public in an email sent out by him on 28 January 2005:
This is a general announcement from Jalal Abualrub (WWW.IslamLife.Com):
I am currently writing a massive rebuttal against an article written by Sam Shamoun
and posted by an Evangelical website that intentionally spreads hatred, misinformation
and malice against Islam. The title of Shamoun’s article is, ‘Allah’s
Guessing Game’; the title of my rebuttal is, ‘Shamoun’s Guessing Game.’
It took roughly one and a half years in which many of the above and below listed exchanges
on other topics have taken place. On 20 June 2006 Abualrub finally published an article
that dealt in part with Shamoun's article and could perhaps be understood as a first installment:
