Most people don’t understand what’s going on in this video. It just seems like a Muslim shouting harsh words at our future President. But there’s much more to this video. Muslims are told to invite people to Islam. If people reject the invitation, Muslims are commanded to fight and kill them (unless they agree to pay the Jizya with the proper amount of humiliation and disgrace). This video, then, is an announcement of Step One–the invitation. When the invitation is refused, Muslims are called to violence.
Author and speaker Dinesh D’Souza has debated well-known atheists such as Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer, and Daniel Dennett.
In his recent article, When Science Points to God, D’Souza discusses the relationship between science, atheism, and a Creator. What does the scientist do when empirical data begins to suggest that a “plot” is involved in the creation of the universe?
Whether you enjoy D’Souza’s work or not, the New Atheists despise him so he must be doing something right!
N.T. Wright: “When Paul talks about “the gospel,†he means “the good news that the crucified and risen Jesus is the Messiah of Israel and therefore the Lord of the world.†Now, that’s about as brief as you can do it†(Interview with Trevin Wax).
Martin Luther: “The gospel is a story about Christ, God’s and David’s son, who died and was raised and is established as Lord. This is the gospel in a nutshell†(Martin Luther’s Basic Theological Writings).
Peter Kreeft thinks it no coincidence that JFK, C.S.Lewis, and Aldous Huxley all died with in a few hours of one another; they each represented major world views. To hear the audio of his comments, click here – thanks to National Review Online.
This post stands as a compilation of the recent debate and commentary on the debate that has been posted by Doug Wilson, Nate Wilson and Christianity Today. Below I have also included links to one of my fellow Bloggers who wrote some good commentary about Presuppositional Apologetics last year during the Christianity Today debate between Wilson and Hitchens.
Here is an interview of Wilson and Hitches on the Debate/Book tour:
Here is that awesome video preview of the documentary again:
Here is a link to the published book of the debate hosted by Christianity Today in 2007. You can support out ministry by purchasing this book and others through our book store.
I have to say, I cannot wait for this to come out on DVD! Enjoy the preview, especially the music and the camera work. 🙂
Here is some more information about it:
Christopher Hitchens and Douglas Wilson squared-off in a recent series of debates over atheism. Hitchens is an atheist with an acerbic wit who thinks Christianity to be a blight on society. Douglas Wilson is a Christian who wants to show the reasonableness of the Christian faith. The video above is a trailer for a forthcoming documentary that describes the debates. (HT: Denny Burk)
Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life."
