Islam (Pro) Vs. Buddhism (Con)

The Question of ProphecyHere I won't focus on the other aspects of Mohammad (as there are much, much more). But I would like to delve into the realm of prophecy. Since I am no Islamic Scholar, I would like to pose a question to Pro. Is there any source (that is not Islamic) that can verify the prophecies that supposedly came true during the life of Mohammad? Meaning a source that isn't Islamic that verify's the prophecy of Mohammad to the dot. Also proof that the prophecies were made by Mohammad, and were not recorded later into the Qur'an and/or Hedith, as to bolster the "reputability" of Islam and its Prophet, Mohammad.2. ) Rebuttals1. RationalityRationality- The quality or state of being rational. http://www.merriam-webster.com...Rational- Based on facts or reason and not on emotions or feelings. http://www.merriam-webster.com...Reason- The power of the mind to think and understand in a logical way. http://www.merriam-webster.com...Again, I have demonstrated how Buddhism is rational. In the previous rounds, where I cite the discourse between the Buddha and the Kalama, he clearly speaks of using one's mind to either accept or deny a certain doctrine. Again, I invite you to look at it again, check out the source, and read the passage from the Kalama Sutta. Pro also asserts that the passage 3:56 from the Qur'an is invalid, as it deals with the afterlife. This is simply not true (the invalid part). The actions of this life directly impact one's afterlife, thus a passage on the afterlife has correlation with this life, and thus is valid.2. Karma, asuras, devas, etc. .. Karma is simply the principle of cause and effect applied to morality. One can take it as meaning the Karma from past lives, or the Karma in this life. Again, one is free to interpret it how they want to, how it makes sense to them. Very rarely can an interpretation be so far off from Buddhist teachings (such as it is Buddhist to kill babies. Such a claim contradicts Buddhist teachings). Dharma- This refers to the Buddha's teachings (although there is deeper meaning to it). . http://buddhism.about.com...Asuras, Devas- Many of these are the results of cross cultural interaction between Buddhism and Hinduism, such as the Buddha being deified into the 9th incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu (in the Hindu tradition, the Buddha is worshiped as a God, and so do many Buddhist's also). Source: Ways of the World: Second Edition- A Global History with SourcesPlanes of existence- I think what Pro is referring to is the Buddha Nature. The concept itself it tricky to explain, so I encourage one to check out this article. . http://buddhism.about.com...The beauty of Buddhism is, according to doctrine (which does matter), there is no penalty for not accepting a certain part of the doctrine. But this is simply not true in Islam (which I have reiterated, and shown new arguments for countless of times).3. ArchaicWhen I go back and read the "archaic" argument, I realize that was a poor choice of words. I would like to retract that statement, as I can't even remember what argument I was trying to make.4. FaithIslam is based on Faith. The first of the Five Pillars of Islam (which is theologically very important) is the Shahada, or the testimony of faith that Allah is the one true God and Mohammad is his Prophet. . http://www.islam-guide.com...Faith- Strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. . http://www.oxforddictionaries.com...By the definition itself, Islam is not based on proof, but rather "spiritual apprehension". And if one does not possess such apprehension, well, reference passage 3:56 of the Qur'an. . http://quran.com...5. Importance of philosophyYes, in religions, there are many aspects, such as the rituals, the culture, and the philosophy. But the philosophy plays the most import part, as it is the essence of the religion, the teachings of the religion. Philosophy is the part that has the most impact on religions when compared to other aspects. Surely Pro must agree with this.6. "If you met the Buddha, kill him"I disagree with con's claim. So I ask the reader to check the link out for themselves and decide for themselves. . http://www.dailybuddhism.com...7. ConclusionI am sure I did not address all of Pro's points, but I do look forward to the next round.
