updates Comments from Hamza A. Tzortzis

I'm at the World Atheist Convention in Dublin. We have a literature & media stall outside the venue to promote & communicate Islam.

Speaker at the atheist convention says religion rejects reason. That's not true about Islam! Read --> http://www.elakiri.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1140942


Speaker at the atheist convention says their ethics are based on evolution. But that would make ethics subjective & meaningless!


Dawkins at the atheist convention says religion is incompatible with science. This isn't true for Islam. Read ->

Adnan Rashid from iERA has confronted Dawkins & has asked him if he could clarify his views on design & the origins of the universe

Dawkins at the atheist convention presumes atheism to be true. Read this link for a response to his book http://hamzatzortzis.blogspot.com/2010/01/dawkins-delusion-response-to-richard.html

Hamza Tzortzis has just had a discussion with Dawkins at the World Atheist Convention on the design of the universe & it was recorded!

Last night I interviewed Richards Dawkins and we had a discussion on the design of the universe. Unfortunately we were interrupted by one of his comrades. The good news is it was filmed! The dawah at the World Atheist Convention is going really well and the interaction in and out of the convention is phenomenal. We were interviewed by The Times and expect more media coverage today. Alhamdoulilah.

• Calling all atheists at the World Atheist Convention we have a literature stall outside the venue. We are here to engage with you
  
  
• Lady at convention says religions promote misogyny. Why are women victims of secularism? Read ->Here
  
  
• some of us are inside. I'm tweeting on what the speakers are saying. A lot of outdated clichés about women & religion
  
  
• The difference is you do not want to engage but we do. Looking forward to speaking to you soon

The World Atheist Convention is beginning to sound like a fundamentalist Christian convention!

Paul Moloney->I presume you wouldn't object to atheists hanging outside mosques on Friday hassling believers?

Hamza->Muslims would love to positively engage with you & anyone else who appreciates dialogue & discussion

 

[M.RIZ]

Nenad_Sebez ->Why don't you post some common misconceptions of Sharia and clarify them for us? I'd be very interested to read this.

Hamza ->Why is it that the sources of Sharia are based on women testimonies? You should educate yourself on Sharia.

• I was given 2 minutes to speak to the World Atheist Convention & invited them to intellectually engage with us
  
  [*]Paul Moloney->Under Islamic law, rape can only be proven if the rapist confesses or if four male witnesses- true or false?
  
  [*]Hamza->False. Rape is categorised as a crime under “unlawful warfare”. Her testimony & DNA etc is sufficient
  
  
  [*]This is what the Sharia says. It is an orthodox position. Educate yourself before passing judgement
  
  [*]maryam namazie is speaking at the convention today. I hope she has educated herself on Islamic law & has stopped caricaturing Islam
  
  
  [*]Many of the attendees appeared to be bored with the convention & walked to our stall to be intellectually stimulated
  
  
  [*]We are having some very interesting discussions with atheists, at the moment we are discussing morality, politics & sexuality
  
  [*]pz myerz->Liar. ( Many of attendees bored with convention & walked to our stall to be intellectually stimulated )
  
  [*]Hamza ->You're an intellectual coward why don't you come & engage with us outside. Let me know when & I'll be there.
  
  
  [*]Had an amazing discussion with pz myers on philosophy, science & the Qur'an. I'm happy he came out to engage with us
  
  [*]I just spoke to Dawkins again & asked him to intellectually engage with us. But he refused. So much for “communicating atheism”
  
  [*]maryam namazie is speaking now at the convention & once again she is caricaturing Islam & Islamic law
  
  [*]we discussed God's existence, empiricism, quantum mechanics & the miraculous statements in the Qur'an(with pz mayes)
  
  [*]Adnan Rashid has just made a comment at maryam namazie's talk & exposed her caricature of Islamic law citing history & academics
  
  [*] Atheist Ireland-> So does sharia law include stoning? Yes or no?
  
  [*]Hamza ->Drugs are completely forbidden in Islam, so no, we don't get stoned
  [*]

Desmond O'Dowd->disgusting 'joke' Hamza. You ought to be ashamed.

Hamza ->People should be ashamed of expecting answers without a nuanced discussion. That's not very rational is it?

Our work at the convention has come to an end. We'd like to thank everyone who engaged with us & Atheist Ireland for their hospitality
