'Obliterating Bassam Zawadi' - A Dying Apologetics Career and Deteriorating Mental State?

'Obliterating', it's a big word isn't it? It's a powerful word, here's the definition
 
obliterate
əˈblɪtəreɪt/

destroy utterly; wipe out.

A chap, who has been trolling my blog of late, leaves that comment, ('Obliterating Bassam Zawadi'), then insults Islam and leaves a link or two or even more (I can't be bothered to check how many).

Here's the thing, if you are going to leave comments on a Muslim blog claiming to have 'obliterated' Islam while Islam has outlasted all its critics and is the fastest growing religion in the world then you're telling me that you are insincere and/or deluded. 

And the silliness doesn't stop there once you think about it a tad more. Bassam Zawadi is respected by top Christian apologists as an informed and scholarly person yet you have some chap (Mr Shamoun) who trolls my blog claiming to have obliterated him. The mind boggles.

My message to Mr Shamoun is in the style of James R. White, here's something for Mr Shamoun to ponder upon the next time he has an urge to claim he obliterated somebody who is on a different scholarly planet to him:

When you’re talking about scholarship that is on a level that you that you yourself cannot even begin to analyze it, you don’t have the language background, you don’t have the historical background, and you dismiss such things and fashion….. doesn’t speak very well for you…..at all.

Some advice I received from a comment on this blog:

Great Job brother Yahya, Sam is desperate asking for the attention, because his apologist career is dying and he knows that very well. He has no academic credentials, So he is so desperate for the spotlight. Leave him, Let his apologist career die.

It's ironic the bloke tries to use me to revive his career and grab a few crumbs of attention. 2/3 years ago he was crying out for attention, he got it from me. The result? Well the result is a ton of videos disseminated over the internet showing him to be a dishonest, unscholarly and unworthy man - not to mention all those blog posts.

Here's the opinion of professional in the field of psychology, this is somebody who has met and knows Sam Shamoun. Here's what this professional thinks about Sam Shamoun's mental state:

Sam is straight bi-polar with narcissistic personality traits.

---------------------------------------------- end quote--------------------------------------------------------------

The Islamophobes around this chap pat this guy on the back and his situation deteriorates - those who promote him actually compound the situation. I ask anybody out there who feels they can reason with Sam in order to help him to pursue more productive and wholesome endeavours, please try to speak to him.Thanks

Jesus taught people to do the Will of God (according to Mark 3:35) in order to become his brothers, mothers or sisters. A Muslim means one who submits to the Will of God. Do you want to become a brother of Jesus? If yes, become a Muslim. Now is the time.

YAWN! If I am really mentally deranged, delusional etc. like your prophet was according to his contemporaries, and if I am a pee-on whose arguments are easy to dismantle THEN WHY DON'T OR BASSAM ZAWADI DEBATE ME?

And David Wood accepted your challenge to debate on your perverted prophet thighing Aisha, so are you now ready to move forward so we can arrange a date for this debate?

@Sam

The psychology professional who knows you did not say you were 'delusionsal' or 'mentally deranged'

He said:

Sam is straight bi-polar with narcissistic personality traits.

Please do not attribute any other words to him.

Sam, your comment is not going to be approved. Why do you always insult?

Sam, PLEASE visit your local Islamic centre to learn more about Islam with an open heart.

Sam shamoun continuously conflates some people’s disinterest in debating him as a weakness of their position. That’s faulty logic. I’d love for Sam Shamoun to go defend his religion by debating Bart Ehrman, yeah the same guy who has slaughtered Christian apologists for a living as of late—including the master debater James White. This isn’t a matter of opinion, the debates are on youtube, anyone can see them, I was humiliated for Mike Lacuna, and felt sorry for James white in their debates with Ehrman—especially during the cross examination. Mind you, debating is a skill, which does NOT necessarily equate with the truth inherent to the premise being debated. Debating is a matter of being articulate, and presenting your case in a manner which the audience finds more plausible and to that end, some people are more skilled than others; some can turn a lie into truth and truth into a lie, all by their ability to speak—this is always demonstrated in the life of an average lawyer. I know Sam’s style of debating, he relies on the vastness of Islam and the very fact that the prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him, was not just a spiritual leader with a short lived career, who spoke in abstract spiritual manner, i.e. Jesus. He was a man whose entire life was written down, his opinions on everything, every facet and aspect and angle of life. The vastness of the Islamic sources makes it difficult for an average or even a very skilled Muslim debater to keep track of every hadith and history document written on the life of the prophet. It becomes a laborious and impossible chore for the likes of Bassam Zawadi or Sami Zaatari or Ijaz Ahmad, etc. to find themselves in a debate and have an answer to the massive collection of hadiths, or any documents relevant to Islam, that Sam and his circus of clowns have collected. Imagine if Jesus had a ministry lasting decades, as oppose to 3 years, and he freely expressed his opinion on every aspect of life, imagine if there were thousands of narrations, and historical documents, some true, some forged, some true but contained weak links, some downright false, etc. It’s easy to defend a character who has left nothing but some anonymous gospels written about his incredibly short ministry. Because Christianity is a deficient religion, it does not seek to answer the many questions raised in the minds of its adherents, it isn’t a complete guide for any human beings life, it’s an impractical fable, which no Christian even follows—Please mention to me a Christian nation which follows the ever beloved and sacrosanct saying of Jesus of “Turn the other cheek”. They will not, because it makes no practical sense to do so. Were it not for the old Testament, Christianity would have little value than an average Aesop’s fable. So, Sam that is why people are hesitant to debate you, because your style boils down to the following 1. Collect as many sources as you find objectionable and can potentially deride and mock. 2. It takes no knowledge to object and deride anything, but a vast amount of knowledge to refute that objection raised. 3. Corner your opponent because he has never encountered that “hadith” or historical source—mind you, that hadith could be weak, a forgery, and the historical account, just a false account. 4. Claim Islam is false and you have won the debate. Sam you only debated one time in a formal debate with a Muslim of any scholarly merit, Shabir Ally, and you seemed rather defanged and unimpressive.
