Osama Abdallah has recently started compiling an alleged list of rebuttals
to all of the articles of individual authors on Answering Islam, such
as Sam Shamoun and Silas. However, as can be seen when one looks over the list,
most of the "responses" are not direct responses and many of the ones that
are indirect do not properly address, if they address at all, the articles
which Osama claims are being refuted. Osama is apparently wanting his
readers to think that he has addressed all of these authors' works when it
clearly is not the case. At the time of this writing, of the 56 articles
in Sam Shamoun's file, only a mere 15 find a direct response, many of which
are the work of other polemicists besides Abdallah. At the time of this
writing, of Silas' 53 articles, only 20 find a direct response, many again
which are not Osama's work, but links to other sites. Below is a list of
many of Osama's articles and links to which his material should be compared.
We feel that some of the articles Osama gave which were supposed to be
rebuttals of our material work better the other way around. So, the reader
will notice some articles in this chart to which Osama has allegedly refuted
in the material contained in the links which he gave for comparison. The
reader should consider both sides critically.
Here is an interesting observation: On 2 November 2003, Osama Abdallah's
claim about the number of his «Rebuttals to "Answering Islam" and other
anti-Islam articles» suddenly jumped from the number 250 to 355 in
one day. How did that happpen? That is a lot of new articles for one day, one may
think. Well, he actually added only ONE article, answering (?) 60+45
questions found in ONE article on a Christian website and counted this as
105 rebuttals. Is he really so desparate that he is in need of this kind of statistics?
Anyway, on to the comparison list.
