*Mr. Javed Ahmad Ghamidi vs. Ali Sina * An invitation to debate From: Free Inquirer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Invitation to a Debate* *Sep 4, 2006* During the recent years Islam has become the target of sever criticism and vilification not just by members of other religions but by a growing number of ex-Muslims. The Internet has allowed these critics to come out and speak their minds at an alarming rate. These criticisms have had devastating effect on the minds of the Muslim youths who unable to answer the critics on their own are bewildered that the Islamic scholars also have not come forth with satisfactory answers. In the interest of unraveling the truth about Islam and clearing the minds of the young Muslims I am formally inviting the Islamic critic Ali Sina and the modern Pakistani 'state appointed' Islamic Scholar Javed Ahmed Ghamidi to engage in a debate on Islam. *ALI SINA* Ali Sina is probably one of the most eminent critics of Islam, an ex-Muslim who renounced Islam after reading the Quran. Ali Sina has managed to create a movement against Islam and has grouped together a group of ex-Muslims who share his opinions on Islam. He has challenged Islamic Scholars to disprove the fallacies that he has identified in the Quran and Hadith. *JAVED AHMAD GHAMIDI* Javed Ahmad Ghamidi <http://www.al-mawrid.org/Team/JavedAhmadGhamidi.aspx>is a respected Islamic Scholar who has been recently appointed by the Pakistani Government to help facilitate the government in 'modern' interpretation of Islam and to do Ijtehad for the development of a cosmopolitan modern Islamic Society. Javed Ghamidi has been under the tutelage of Amin Ehsan Islahi and idealizes the writings of his teacher with utmost reverence. Initially expelled from Jamaat e Islami due to some difference with the party's founder Maududi, Ghamidi has managed to develop a restricted following of his own. He has been actively involved in the government's initiative to revamp and restructure Islamic Ordinances in Pakistan like Hudood Ordinance and Zina Ordinance. He is also the president of the Al Mawrid Institute based in Lahore. Javed Ghamidi also enjoys a good company of his students who teach in various places in Pakistan. Most notable are Moiz Amjad, Asif Iftikhar, Khalid Zaheer & others…Mr. Ghamidi operates through a network of Danish Saras across Pakistan and has some major Islamic Sites to his credit. He also publishes various magazines in Urdu and English like Ishraq and Renaissance. *The Challenge to a Debate* This is an invitation to Ali Sina and Javed Ahmed Ghamidi to debate on the validity of claims made by Islam and whether Islam is a true religion. Both parties are invited to provide answers to each other's arguments. - Both sides have to accept this invitation - The debate will be conducted over emails and will be published on the Faith Freedom International Website for the benefit of common public. - The points on which the debate shall be done will be agreed upon first by the two parties to ensure that the core issue is addressed properly. However it is preferable that Ali Sina's arguments be thoroughly studied on http://www.faithfreedom.org /challenge.htm<http://www.faithfreedom.org/challenge.htm>to restrict the debate only to main points of disagreement. - Complete references should be given by both parties to support their arguments for the benefit of the reader - Any other points on which both sides would like to agree upon *The debate is subjected to acceptance on both sides. Failure of acceptance of the debate on any one side shall be deemed as a failure to provide a logical and truthful response to support one's ideas / ideology* ------------------------------ Dear Free Enquirer I published your invitation to announce my acceptance to debate with Mr. Javed Ahmad Ghamidi. It would be an honor to discus important points of disagreement on Islam with such an eminent scholar. Please inform Mr. Ghamidi that I look forward to meet him virtually. I have given countless proofs that Islam is not a true religion. Mr. Ghamidi is invited to disprove any of my claims, or if he prefers, he could give one single irrefutable proof that Islam is indeed a true religion sent by God. In either case, should Mr. Ghamidi disprove any of my charges against Muhammad and Islam or provide a single irrefutable proof that Islam is from God, I promise to publicly acknowledge that I have been mistaken and remove this site permanently. Furthermore I am offering $50,000 US dollars reward to anyone who can show Islam is a true religion or at least my charges against Muhammad are unfounded. Greetings Ali Sina
