Three Outspoken Religious Scholars Slug It Out In A Live Debate: Islam, Christianity & Judaism—Whic

Gee
Dad, Can’t We All Just Get Along?
Unknown to many, the three great religions of the Mid-East claim the
biblical character Abraham as their actual blood line father. All three
also claim Abraham was divinely inspired by God. With so much in
common, why can’t Jews, Christians, and Muslims all just get along?
Many fierce Middle East wars have been fought between those who claim
to be Abraham’s descendants, and continue to this day. Understanding
how each religion perceives itself provides insights on what fuels
ongoing conflict in the Mid East. And perhaps what can bring these
three religions’ followers and the nations they live in together. Three
imminent religious scholars will debate “Islam, Christianity &
Judaism: Which is the True Religion of Peace?” on November 11 at The
Edmond J. Safra Synagogue, located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan
at 11 East 63rd Street between Madison and Fifth Avenues.
New York Rabbi Shmuley Boteach was named “the most famous rabbi in
America” by Newsweek Magazine, often appears on the “Oprah” TV show,
and has a national TV show “Shalom in the House” on The Learning
Channel. Dr. Douglas Jacoby’s popularity as a biblical scholar and
humorous Christian speaker has taken him to over 80 countries. He is a
prolific author with a Masters from Harvard Divinity School and lives
in Atlanta, GA.
Imam Shabir Ally is President of the Information & Dawah Centre
International in Toronto, and is widely recognized as one of North
America’s most imminent proponents of Islam.

New York Rabbi Shmuley Boteach was named “the most famous rabbi in America” by Newsweek Magazine, often appears on the “Oprah” TV show, and has a national TV show “Shalom in the House” on The Learning Channel.

Dr. Douglas Jacoby’s popularity as a biblical scholar and humorous Christian speaker has taken him to over 80 countries. He is a prolific author with a Masters from Harvard Divinity School and lives in Atlanta, GA.

Imam Shabir Ally is President of the Information & Dawah Centre International in Toronto, and is widely recognized as one of North America’s most imminent proponents of Islam.

Debate Participants
Rabi Shmuley Boteach (www.shmuley.com) has been labeled “a cultural phenomenon” and “the most famous rabbi in America” by Newsweek magazine. He is host of the National TV show, ‘Shalom in the Home’, a series that airs on TLC (The Learning Channel). He is an international best-selling author of 20 books. His recent works, “Parenting With Fire” and “Ten Conversations You Need to Have With Your Children” were launched on The Oprah Winfrey TV show. Boteach is host of the daily national radio program, “The Rabbi Shmuley Show” on Oprah & Friends, on the XM Satellite Radio network. And he is a regular political and social commentator on CNN. The Rabbi has hosted and debated, some of the world’s leading thinkers, statesmen, and entertainers including Mikhail Gorbachev, Professor Stephen Hawking, Deepak Chopra, and Professor Richard Dawkins.

Dr. Douglas Jacoby (www.douglasjacoby.com) is a Christian speaker who has lectured in over 80 nations. He has authored 15 books and recently signed with Harvest House Publishing, one of the top 5 American publishers of Christian literature. Jacoby is principal instructor at the Athens Institute of Ministry in Atlanta, Georgia. He received a B.A. in history from Duke, a Masters in theology from Harvard Divinity School, and a Doctorate in Ministry from Drew University. In 2007 he debated the existence of God with well known agnostic Dr. Michael Shermer at Concordia University, in Irvine, California. Jacoby will continue his debate on Creationism vs. Evolutionism with Shermer, editor and publisher of “Skeptic” magazine, at the University of Florida on October 28, 2008.

Imam Shabir Ally (www.shabirally.com) is the president of the Islamic Information & Dawah Centre International in Toronto where he functions as Imam. One of the leading proponents of Islam in North America, Mr. Ally travels internationally to represent Islam in public lectures and interfaith dialogues and explains Islam on a weekly television program called ‘Let the Quran Speak’. Mr. Ally believes there has been widespread misunderstanding of the Quran and released this policy statement:

Mr. Ally holds a B.A. in Religious Studies from Laurentian University with a specialization in Biblical Literature, and an M.A. in Religious Studies from the University of Toronto where he is finishing his doctorate with a specialization in Quranic Exegesis.

 

  • Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.
  • Our faith does not tolerate the killing of non-combatants.
  • Non-Muslims have the God-given right to believe and practice other religious teachings.
  • All human beings should be treated with respect even if we disagree with their beliefs
  • teachings.



We recognize that:

 

  • Much injustice has been done, and continues to be done, against Muslims globally.
  • Many Muslims have suffered from acts of discrimination locally.
  • Much media attention of a negative sort has played a role in tarnishing the image of Islam and Muslims, thus contributing, even if inadvertently, to this sort of injustice and discrimination.



DEBATE LOCATION

The Edmond J. Safra Synagogue (http://www.ejsny.org/About.aspx
) is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at 11 East 63rd Street
between Madison and Fifth Avenues and regularly hosts guests from
around the world. The congregation is comprised of many families from a
medley of Middle Eastern backgrounds.

Since opening its doors in March, 2003, the Edmond J. Safra Synagogue has become the communal center that its namesake imagined it would. Moreover, the synagogue has become a prominent social, cultural and educational center having hosted conferences and lectures, parenting and cooking classes, singles’ events, children’s programs and a variety of cultural and educational events.

    laptops batteries

    Should I Remove theinspiron 1525 battery For A Desktop Replacement Laptop?Well,when using a laptop as a desktop replacement the inspiron 6400 battery should not be left in for long periods of time.The laptop will over time discharge the inspiron 1501 battery.Remove the hp pavilion dv6000 battery – making sure that it is charged to 40% and store it in a dry,warm place.Ensure that battery hp g60 is wrapped protectively and nothing will be dropped on it.The dv2000 battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge.Leaving dv5 battery in storage for longer than this without using could cause the battery to fully discharge as the circuitry of the dv9000 battery itself consumes power.Leaving the hp dv7 battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the hp 484170 in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the dell d620 battery.Remember that when you have removed the dell d630 battery from a laptop while using with an electrical outlet the automatic nv52 backup is no longer functional.For bps9 and bps8 battery drivers,they all can be installed in all xp/vista/windows7 32 bits operating system laptops; for bps12 till follow-up models battery drivers,such as bps13 they all can be installed in all vista/windows7 32 bits and 64 bits operating system laptops.A new pa3534u usually comes in a discharged condition with a very low capacity.It is highly recommended to fully charge new dell xps m1210 battery packs before use.A new dell 1545 battery pack needs to be circled (fully discharged and recharged) three to eight times to reach its optimum performance. Rechargeable1520 battery will undergo self-discharging when left unused for a long period of time. Thus,it should always be stored in a fully charged state and kept in a cool,dry and clean place. To maintain the optimum performance of a hp dv4 battery pack,it is highly recommended to circle (fully discharging and recharging) it at least once a month.
