By Jalal Abualrub
I have been very busy working on books, articles and travelling extensively in the United Stated to call to Islam and debate on its behalf, thanks to Allah.
My website www.islamlife.com, was reorganized and the job of transferring all the articles from the old website to the new one was given to a certain Muslim brother who resided overseas. He did a good job, except that I discovered recently that he left out some articles and booklets that he did not transfer to the new website. Of course, those who know me, know that unlike evangelicals, I spend on my projects from my very modest means. I do not have a single employee who helps on my website. Also, I am far too busy to even learn all the features that we have on the new website let alone search in the large collection of articles and books to see what is missing.
Katz got excited, though. Well he says, "Defunct! Why have many of Jalal Abualrub's articles disappeared?" This is a good question, Katz, but the answer is as simple as stated here. He continues, by saying, "Starting in September 2005 and up to March 2009 we had this note at the top of the index page listing all our rebuttal articles to Jalal Abualrub's publications." This is the difference between me and them. He can easily say, "We", because he has support and a team of professional liars who work for or with him part or fulltime, who knows. I can only say, "I", because for the most part, I am alone. Poor me.
Another point to make here is that I think that, although I am not so sure now that I read what Katz wrote, that I am allowed to start a new website instead of the old one, since the new website is better than the old one, technically speaking. How this works in the world of websites, is that when someone starts a new website, one usually turns off the old one. Otherwise, what's the use of the new website if the old website is also still active and running? Even Paul, the true fabricator of Christianity and the false prophet who allowed Katz to eat pork when his claimed lord and savior didn't, said that new law (New Testament), replaced the old law (Old Testament), which Paul effectively said that it is now defunct. Paul at least had some knowledge in the Bible, unlike Katz and his cohorts. So in this case, the case of websites, I prefer Paul's solution: allowing the new website the permission the option of 'defunct-ing' the old website. It's just me. Sorry Katz! It seems that what you said next is defunct, "[Note: All our responses to Jalal Abualrub were/are linked to Abualrub's main website…. On 13 September 2005, two days after we published our material on Islam and terrorism (see below), responding to his challenge and putting our own challenge before Abualrub, his original site disappeared. Currently, some of his articles listed here are still available at www.islamlife.com.] "
Katz then says, "This move caused "the disappearance" of quite a few articles Abualrub had written to 'expose the lies of Answering Islam'." I did not even know that Katz is searching my website for me to find what's missing. If he sends me a list, I will surely search for those articles and repost them, so that his eye is pleased with my rebuttals of their lies and ridicule of the Creator of all things.
He then says, "Later on, in November 2008, Abualrub again "reorganized" his website and it is now www.islamlife.com/religion2/ instead of www.islamlife.com, causing even more of his articles to disappear and creating lots of additional dead links in our rebuttals to him." I did not know that I needed to consult with Katz first to make sure his links to my website are up to date. Sorry, I hope next time I dare reorganize my website I remember to notify you, since I have nothing else to do.
Katz then says, "On 18 March 2009, it was brought to our attention that readers following our links pointing to Abualrub's original website are now served pages that are advertizing perverted sexuality and pornography. In order not to provide direct links to such a website, we have now replaced all these links with links to this present page informing readers that the source pages from which we quoted have become defunct." After we closed the old MadinahStore website, a true Christian pervert bought or rented the website and filled it with what the Christian world has flooded the entire world with, the naked flesh of their daughters who, just like asses, do their sex business in public for all to see. If one searches the host that now owns madinahstore one will find who the current operator of it is.
This shameless man, Katz, had the nerve to email me asking me if changed my business and now have a pornographic website. My response to him is that if the same thing happened to his website, I would not think to accuse him of the same. How true Christian behavior of him. Sorry Katz, I do not do this kind of business, left it all to your likes. These people are just incapable of decent behavior!
He says next, "In those cases where I was able to find that the earlier articles were transferred to his new site, we are linking to the new location, but it is quite interesting to see how many of the arguments that he made against our publications have disappeared for good after we have published our refutations." Well, Katz, I have written more articles than is found on my website. What this means, is that not everything I wrote is found on my website. I have written hundreds of articles and tens of books that are not found on my website. So, if there is something I wrote that is not now on the new website, do not worry, Katz, because I will not disown my writings. So, if you wish, send me some of my writings that are not on my website and I will certify for you that I wrote them.
Katz says next, "Why did Abualrub remove all these rebuttals against "the lies of Answering Islam"? At least two options present themselves: (a) Abualrub became too proud of himself due to the excellence of his articles resulting in the total destruction of our arguments. Therefore, in order to counteract his own pride and to remain the humble man he wants to be, he removed the strongest ones from his many excellent articles. (b) After being exposed for his bad arguments because of our rebuttals to his polemics, he was so embarrassed of himself and his arguments, that he wanted to silently let them disappear. Giving up his old domain name, or changing the root directory of his current domain seemed to be an elegant way of disconnecting his articles from our discussion of his arguments, thereby destroying all our crosslinks and source links of quotations from his publications."
Where is my (c)? You see, Katz, the American system calls for at least a (c) or a (d) to add to the (a) or (b). You cannot just have two options. For example would read like this, "(c) The person who moved the articles from Jalal's old website to the new website missed some articles." And the correct answer is, (c).
Katz then says, "The reader who seeks to evaluate the strength or weakness of our respective arguments is can ponder this matter for himself and come to his own conclusions." The reader should realize how happy Katz is for not finding my old articles that exposed him and his team as professional liars who invent things and then stick them to Islam. This is because he now thinks that my rebuttal are out of the way so he can breathe easier.
Katz then says, "Why did I write this page?" Yes, Katz, why? To defame Jalal?
Katz says, "There are two reasons: First, as the chief editor I always insist that our authors meticulously document every claim. It is our principle at Answering Islam to always document quotations with proper bibliographical references or links to the pages on the world wide web from which they were taken. I am deeply convinced that everything needs to be properly documented and carefully argued. The reader has a right to know, why we have now plenty of "undocumented" quotations in our rebuttals to Jalal Abualrub. They were properly documented at the time of publication, but Abualrub's publications are not dependable and may disappear at any time."
However, I still have my articles, Katz, so do not worry. That was a technical issue and has absolutely nothing to do with the fantasy that Katz has created.
He then says, "Second, I am annoyed. I am sick of the shiftiness of certain Muslim polemicists – Shabir Ally is another specialist in using this particular methodology – and of having to regularly invest hours and hours for correcting dead links to our debate opponents. Jochen Katz"
Jalal says, "I am annoyed of these evangelicals who preach the Prince of Peace and love, but are full of evil thoughts, doubts and suspicions. Katz shot off in a fantastic dream of ill thoughts when all what this issue is about, is a technical issue. Katz: cut the emotional breakdown! I am still here and Inshaallah will always be a thorn in the throat of the enemies of Islam, until they all meet the Creator to find out that Muhammad indeed was, the Last and Final Prophet and Messenger.
