Shalom, ya'll,

YHWH has laid the mission to reach out to followers of Muhammad upon my heart.

To that end, we have spent the last year producing and publishing videos that we hope will:

1) Make Muslims uncomfortable with what they believe now
2) Encourage Muslims to take a look at the scriptures of the One True Illah and His Son, Yashuw'ah

Our most recently published video was taped "on location" at Qumran, and is titled "Isa al-Masih, More than a Prophet?"

Please remember that these videos are targeted at Muslims, so we are not going to just hit them on the head with a copy of TWT and say read "Prophet of Doom"!

The videos are available at: TheTruthOfIslam.com, YouTube, GodTube, on iTunes and even your iPhone.

Please consider watching our videos and sharing them with your friends.

Dear Theophilus (...never though I'd write that!),

Thanks for asking.

Since we started recording and publishing our video podcasts a year ago over 50,000 people have viewed them.

The most notable results are in Indonesia. It took a moment to figure that out: They have the largest population of Muslims in the world, lots of English speakers and plenty of Internet. The upshot is that I can say, “In Jakarta, I'm huge”. (That is not a figure of speech! I am about a foot taller and much heavier than the average Indonesian.)

We publish our videos on our website, GodTube, YouTube and have podcast-RSS feeds for iTunes/iPod/iPhone. Most of our Muslim viewers find us through YouTube or iTunes.

Muslims on the YouTube forum have attached hundreds of comments to our videos, mostly along the lines of “You are spreading lies about Islam”, “Allah will burn you in Hell” and “Muhammad's (PBUH) use of force was justified against those treacherous Jews in Mecca”. (Jews in Mecca??!?!?)

There is about a 50:1 ratio of viewers to commenters on YouTube and it seems that only the 'good Muslims' take the time to write a comment. We have had a few Muslim apostates chime in from time to time, which brings tears of joy. Several atheists and agnostics have written encouraging comments and e-mail, too. Sadly, very few followers of YHWH will take the time to view or comment on the videos.

The commentary from the 'good Muslims' is often far from civil, but I am a former Marine, have heard all of those words before and have a thick skin.

We don't get much feedback from the iTunes/iPod/iPhone channel but we have been booted out of the iTunes store by Apple due to complaints by Muslims of “hate speech”. It is kind of a badge of honor! Click here to see that story.

We just got back from Israel where we recorded the third “season” of our videos. Lots of “on location” recordings! These episodes are in the post-production phase and will be published as time and funds permit.

We also have traveled to a few churches and put on a “The Truth Of Islam” conference that is well received, after we have 'gotten our foot in the door' with this very unpopular message. (Hmmm, maybe if we had a music group perform an opening act...)

My request: The group on this forum “gets it”, therefore please take a look at our work and offer constructive criticism that will help us reach Muslims with the true story of Isa al-Masih.

Thanks in advance,

Ed, I was able to watch about a half dozen of the more recent podcasts from your website. I found the content of the shows themselves to be consistent with what I learned about Islam while stationed in the Middle East and from POD, TWT and other sources. In fact the presentation was pretty easy to follow which I hope will aide people who may know English as a second language. I especially enjoyed that most of the ones I saw were from you trip to Israel and that you matched subjects and places well.

I was curious as to thinking behind the shows opening. I would think that featuring a 9-11 themed opening clips may turn off audiences that might be curious about Muslim - Christian discussions even before the presentation has a chance to begin. If the purpose is to display the horrific deeds following Muhammad’s sunnah thus "good" fundamental Islam looks like in a graphic manner then I think it succeeds. If you're attempting to reach "bad" Muslims who may reject violent Jihad with the case to reject Allah in favor of Yahweh, then I'm less certain that the current opening works well as a starting point.

I would think that these clips would work well in shows featuring Muhammad's example and what jihad meant in his time and in 9-11 our own. I'd think comparing the case for violent Jihad being fundamentally sound in Islamic sources could be compared with the complete abuse or ignorance of Scripture that resulted in the crusades or inquisitions and how these were in direct opposition to Yahshua's life exemplified.

Just some initial thoughts. I look forward to seeing the other videos.

BTW, when were you in the USMC?

Shalom, ya'll,

We've just posted part two of our video podcast: "Isa al-Masih, More than a Prophet?"

Please take the time to follow the YouTube link to view, rate, share and comment on the video. The idea is that more 'activity' associated with these videos draws in more viewers.

In this webisode:

There will not be much 'new' information for YY subscribers, but go ahead and enter a comment anyway. Any publicity/activity is good, even a joke about 'the fat guy in the video'. (Me!)

Remember that the target audience is "bad" Muslims. They have to be brought along slowly, so we are trying to take a suggestive/Socratic approach and engage them in conversation with these videos.

Thank you for taking the time to view (and share!) these videos.

Islam and the Problem of Sin

Webcast date: Dec 11, 2008

al-Qur'an never adequately deals with the problem of sin.
Muslims have to achieve a state of perfection that Allah's Apostle himself was unable to achieve, this requires that:

1)Allah's perfection itself be watered down
2) You live a better life than Muhammad did

Taped on location at The Garden Tomb in Jerusalem.

good stuff Ed.... Props to you and your crew!!

Long after Yada and I learned of the existence of the Pilate letter, I actually stumbled across the translated text online someplace (sorry, I can't remember where), and I must admit that it smelled like a fraud---too good to be true. On the other hand, there would have been no reason to change the date, which was the only part of the letter I appealed to as evidence: the "fifth of the calends of April," which is strong evidence that the crucifixion occurred in 33, not 32.

There's another factor, Ed, that proves the disciples were not in collusion with the high priests (nice video, by the way). The clincher (for me, anyway) is that every last one of the eleven disciples was martyred for his faith (except for John, whose execution, according to legend, was botched). The all went to their deaths believing that Yahshua had actually risen from the dead. Merely caving in and denying that fact would have been enough to save their mortal lives. But faced with "recant or die," they all chose death. You don't do that if you believe what you're preaching is a lie, and you're only doing it for personal gain or glory.

Yea im sure what Stephen was actually saying in that Scriptural description, obviously if you look at the oldest Greek source, is actually...

"DIE INFIDELS - ALALALALALALALAAAAAAH IS GREAT!" Then detonates himself.

Its all in there I swear...

lol


See; I could be a Islamic appologist!!
