Islamic dilemma
The Islamic dilemma is an argument Christians present to Muslims. The term refers to a logical conflict rooted in claims that the Qur-an—Islam’s most sacred book—makes about the Bible. The tension comes from the Quran’s claim that the Bible is God’s Word (Quran 3:3–4; 5:46–47; 10:94). Yet it also alleges that Jews and Christians changed the Bible, leading to historical and theological errors (Quran 2:75; 3:78; 5:13). Both claims cannot be true at the same time. If the Bible is God’s Word, then it must be true. But if it’s corrupt, the Quran cannot affirm it. Christians call this contradiction the Islamic dilemma.
