Unique and Victorious Debate in Chicago!!
Dr. Zakir Naik had a unique public debate with Dr. William Campbell on the topic “The Qur’an and the Bible in the light of Science” on April 1, 2000 in Chicago, United States of America.
Dr. William Campbell, a medical doctor and a Christian Missionary, is the author of the book “The Qu’ran and the Bible in the light of history and science” which is a reply to the famous book ” The Bible, the Qu’ran and Science” by Dr. Maurice Bucaille. Dr. William Campbell in his book, which is also on the internet, had pointed out several “scientific errors” in the Qu’ran. His book and his contentions were unanswered for several years, and were used by Christian Missionaries to harass the Muslims.Alhamdulillah, the debate proved to be victorious event from the Islamic perspective. Dr. Zakir Naik gave logical and convincing replies to each and every of the alleged scientific error in the Qu’ran pointed out by Dr. William Campbell.
This historic event organised by the ‘Islamic Circle of North America’, U.S.A., had Dr. William Campbell conceding that he had difficulties in replying to many of the scientific errors in the Bible pointed out by Dr. Zakir Naik.
Video cassettes of this debate were released on September 3, 2000, at the Patkar Hall in Mumbai, where a recording of this unique and historic debate and its question and answer session was screened for the benefit of a packed and over flowing audience of more than a thousand people.
Those who witnessed this recording were extremely pleased with this event, Alhamdulillah. Several positive comments were received as feedback after the programme. One young Muslim stated, “After having seen this programme, for the first time in my life I felt proud of being a Muslim”.

Not purposley, but I have seen that before.

“in fact the bible is a copy of the egyption religion of 3000 BC ” Are you quoting Zeitgeist?
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
You still havent told me why it matters if it came from a history teacher or not.
Maybe you should learn to not mock people in the first place.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Why are you so quickly to judge? I never said what you said wasn’t true. I said the way you worded it sounded like it literally cam from a history teacher. Perhaps you should learn to calm down, especially over trivial matters on YOUTUBE none the less. You just seem to have a temper and no reason for it.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
It doesnt matter who I learnt it from, as long as it is the truth.
I guess you never studied history? You seem to be very anti education, but I am not surprised by that.
Learn to think critically.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
So you did learn this from your history teacher?
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
what are you against education aswell?
Actually its not an opinion its a fact - there is a difference.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Maybe it is because that is my opinion. That sounds exactly like what a history teacher would say. So don’t get pissy for no reason. I respect your opinion, there is no need for you to start a pointless argument.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
O ya and I studied under a Iranian Islamicist so its not christian biased :).
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Why did you even ask the question in the first place? Its a fact.
You are ignorrant for running your mouth off for no reason.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
How is this responding to my question? I know it is a large step from Christianity, so please tell me something i do not know. And I am ignorant? Ha, you make me laugh, elaborate.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
you are obviously ignorrant. Mohammed was the third and final prophet and was seen as the next step from christianity. The first mosque was made to face Jerusalem for example.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Ha, please tell me did you learn that in your history class?
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
there debating religion not science.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
yes but Islam is based of christianity and was originaly seen as a evolution of it
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Please research your religion before making an argument to defend it. If you knew anything of either religion than you would see how stupid and ignorant you sound. By the way I was once Christian, but am now a proud practicing Muslim.
Peace be to all that except Allahs word, and even those who do not but worship him in their own way.
Allah Akhbar
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
not at all that is an ignorant statement to make tell me how it is a copy? im assuming you learned that in history class? i will go ahead and say this i would not believe half the stuff they teach you in history class because if its not true then it contradict itself. obviously there are some corrwct things but if it involves religion it will always take the ide of chrisianity because you know it was written by a christian, and in fact the bible is a copy of the egyption religion of 3000 BC
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I’m sorry did you even read what I said or did you just re-post the exact same thing I responded to? Please actually answer the question before you try to respond, so I do not have to deal with your incapability of comprehending a simple statement.

Hojatol Kariminia, Iranian cleric
“Islam has a cure for people suffering from this problem. If they want to change their gender, the path is open,” says Hojatol Islam Muhammad Mehdi Kariminia, the religious cleric responsible for gender reassignment.
He says an operation is no more a sin than “changing wheat to flour to bread”.
Yet homosexuality is still punishable by death.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
really where did you get your facts? im assuming your chrstian for makeing an ignorant statement, then again i guess you could be an atheist, either way maybe allah will have pity on you…doubtfull though
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
“Islam has a cure for people suffering from this problem. If they want to change their gender, the path is open”
Hojatol Kariminia, Iranian cleric
Iran has between 15,000 and 20,000 transsexuals, according to official statistics, although unofficial estimates put the figure at up to 150,000. Iran carries out more gender change operations than any other country in the world besides Thailand.

I wonder when Dr. Campbell is going to become a Muslim.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
i dont know why hes doing that because in the religion he beleives in clearly stands up for human rights and freedom
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
I’ll give him credit for his debating skills, and he’s quite entertaining to watch, also in regard of learning from him (the talk skill that is). I have a feeling he studied the other religions so he could bash them, not to see if they were anything for him, but that’s ok, to be in a debate you have to have done ur homework.
His dark side is him advocating death penalty for apostapy, and banning other religions than islam. That’s a breach of freedom of religion which is a human right.
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
hes a smart guy hes intelligent and debates well i like him hes Ook i mean personally sometimes i do disagree with him its the way he says something but MashAllah hes studied all religions and chose Islam its that he needs proof and hes got it he is quite quick but i dont understand your problem with him? (not in a rude way) if you dont mind answering
