    Islam. Yeah, I mean, I disagree with Islam, all right? I think that Islam has like a glimpse, again, a glimpse of God. I think all religions have a glimpse of God, but I think that we get the fullness of who God is in Christianity. There's just some things that I don't understand about Islam, and we kind of talked about it earlier. When I first started like looking into it, I was like kind of going a little too hard because I'd find something that I like didn't understand, and I would just like blast it online and realize I wasn't having like respectful conversation. so I'm trying to like talk through more things and I want to look at the Quran specifically there's just like a couple things that I don't understand or agree with like that I that have made me go I don't think is for me I don't think Islam is the truth one of those things being like the Kaaba like that it was built by Abraham and Ishmael like I don't understand that I don't I don't think that that can be verified and also in the Quran here's my big thing have you ever You'll have to look this up too on your own time. This is pretty fascinating. Have you ever heard of the Islamic Dilemma Have you ever heard that So basically the Islamic Dilemma is I don know if you ever heard this but a lot of Muslims will tell me that the Bible has been corrupted They tell me that the Bible has been corrupted And so if the Bible has been corrupted this is the Islamic dilemma If the Bible has been corrupted, then I wouldn't want to become a Muslim. If the Bible is not corrupted, I wouldn't want to become a Muslim. That's like the Islamic dilemma. So what it is, in the Quran, Surah 2, Surah 5, Surah 7. There's a few more.

We have the Torah. Whereas our Bible would say Christianity is the truth, right? And so if our Bible hasn't been corrupted, then we would say, oh, I probably wouldn't go down that route. Now, if we said that the Bible is corrupted, then that would have to mean that the Quran was corrupted. Do you see what I'm saying? Okay. Because the Quran says that it confirms. You kind of tracking right there? Yeah. So those are like the couple of the major questions that I have with Islam. But in regards, I have a ton of Muslim friends. I love them to death. You're my new Muslim friend. I love you to death. You know, it's fun.
