Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic answers.

In a recent comment on the channel one viewer asked if I would address more issues

related to Islam and I thought why not so today I'm going to give a

relatively brief answer to the question why I'm not a Muslim and for those of you who are new

All right, so one common tactic among Muslim apologists

is to give a variety of objections to Christianity

and then assume once you can disprove Christianity, then a person should just become a Muslim, because Islam apparently has the simplest and most coherent view of God.

But Islam is more than just a certain view of God. But Islam is more than just a certain view of God. It's also

allegiance to the alleged divine authority of the Quran and other teachings of

Islam that have come down through various oral traditions called the Hadith.

Even if I weren't a Christian, I still wouldn't be a Muslim. I'd just be some other kind of

religious theist. I would believe in God. I might even be a

philosophical theist who believed in an unlimited God of the classical philosophers

like Aristotle. That's because the main reason I'm not a Muslim is because there aren't any good reasons to think Islam is true.

I'll use this popular video, why Islam is the truth as an example of pro-Islam arguments and why they aren't persuasive.

Remember, the main points Islam seeks to prove is that Mohammed was a genuine prophet who received a revelation from God and the Quran is divine
