Here is a link to the debate held at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary on Thursday, March 17, 2011. The topic centered on the trustworthiness and implications of world views based upon the Christian Scriptures, the Bible, or the Muslim Scriptures, the Qur’an. Speaking on behalf of the Christian Bible is Jay Smith, an American Christian apologist who currently lives, works, and speaks in London, England. Speaking on behalf of the Qur’an of Islam is Khalil Meek, an American convert to Islam currently living in Dallas, Texas.
Which Way America: The Bible or the Qur’an?
The entire debate is two hours long…an investment worthy of your time. Jay does an excellent job of presenting strong biblical conviction while also calling his compatriot to accept the Gospel truth. For his part, Khalil is a very personable individual who is genuinely convinced of the veracity of Islam and its benefit for our nation and the world. That being said, his assertions and responses do not hold up in the light of absolute truth.
Please listen and learn…and pray for Khalil and numerous others like him around the world who have accepted the lies of Islam.
[UPDATE: Said Musa has been released! Praise God...but, more prayer still needed for a brother in Christ named Shoaid Assadullah still imprisoned in Afghanistan for giving a man a Bible. Read more about both these situations--- Imprisoned Afghan Christian Released from Prison]
So, Islam is the religion of peace, huh? You couldn’t tell that from the situation taking place in Afghanistan right now. It seems that a man by the name of Said Musa has been imprisoned and threatened with execution for apostasy from Islam and conversion to Christianity. Hmmmm, last time I check, that hasn’t been happening in any “Christian nations” nor among groups of Christians interacting with Muslims.
You can follow more about this ongoing situation by linking to the following two stories. Stories which contain updates on the Christian Twitter campaign which appears to have made a positive impact on the situation!

Ed Stetzer – Update on Said Musa: Conversion is not a Crime
Please join with me in continuing to pray for Said Musa and his witness through this situation.
[UPDATE: A great new article on this issue from FoxNews.com. It details the abuse Said Musa has endured and the positive impact the tweeting and letter writing has made on this issue. Encouragement is given to keep the awareness up and the pressure on our government and the Afghan government as well.
