I'm asking you a simple question.
Does Pew Research's method to produce statistics acceptable to you?

Isaiah 42:11 in the King James Version reads: "Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, let the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
You obviously don't remember what I wrote not too long ago.
There were lookouts at the mountaintop, waiting for the arrival of the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم. Once they saw the 2 figures from afar, they shouted to the people below to let them know the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم is coming. And then, the people started singing, welcoming the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم.
And that song, we still sing it today.

Same method used by that charity body.
You rejected their method before yesterday. Have you changed your mind?

Whether it is acceptable is irrelevant to the crux of the debate...you accepted it and I have shown you that the statistics buried your claims that less moslems are leaving islam

So you're saying Pew Research's statistics are not reliable?

If I have to work out an answer then it is not reliable..
A reliable source would have an answer ready for you

It definitely is relevant.
If you don't accept it, we can dismiss it as unreliable, and you shouldn't be using it to make any claims. But if you do, I have other statistics to show you. And you must also accept the charity body, which says Muslims are the most charitable in the UK.

Isaiah 42 didn't say a lot of things. But what it does say matches the Prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم.

when I have proven the point..you shifted the goal post and now chose to dismiss my claims...
Yesterday, you were praising how you, leaders, and organizations trust Pew Research. Today, you've shifted your stance completely! Now, my opinion on Pew Research seems to matter so much that you're quick to dismiss its credibility.

So you believe in the Hebrew bible? It is not part of the Torah! It is not inside any of the 4 islamic books

I don't believe, nor do I disbelieve it.
I don't rely on the Bible to attest to my faith.

I didn't dismiss anything.
I didn't shift anything.
I just want to corner you. Do you accept the findings of Pew Research or not? Is their methodology reliable or not?

Like I say that the statistics are just a list of a few countries, but they are sufficient for me to demonstrate that over two million Moslems leave Islam each year.
If Pew Research has data covering all countries, then you'd probably need a headache pill to handle the reality, as the number of Moslems leaving Islam far exceeds two million annually.

Are you confused? You are a kufir for believing in certain books that Allah did not command you to accept.

I told you clearly. I neither believe nor disbelieve. I am agnostic with regard to the Bible.

You can no longer argue
If you choose to rely on Pew Research, I respect your right to do so. I can accept your statistics for the sake of argument, but whether I consider them reliable does not matter

So you believe that Isaiah 42 which is part of the Hebrew Bible is speaking about Muhammad? Since when did you take the authority of the Hebrew Bible as your faith? So you no longer believe in corrupted scriptures?

You made a certain conclusion based on Pew Research data but you already said before yesterday that their methodology is unreliable.
So why do you make a conclusion based on unreliable data?

I neither believe nor disbelieve. The Bible is not authoritative for me.
I keep repeating that, but you seem to ignore it.

It is unreliable to estimate the number of Moslems leaving Islam based on just a few countries...that's a fact. However, Turkey clearly demonstrated that the number of Moslems leaving Islam far exceeds 2 million, so I don't need data from other countries to support my argument.

So when Pew Research shows positive data for Islam, it's unreliable. But when they show negative data for Islam, it's reliable.
Really Pink?
