As they say in football, \u201cIt was a game of two halves!\u201d
\nThe first couple of hours were dead, no-good conversations at all, not even an argument! It was just dead, no one interested in talking, then at \u2018half-time\u2019, it all changed and went ballistic!
\nA Moslem woman in full burka approached me with a question, you may be aware that Moslem woman rarely approach a Christian men in the park, but she went for it, one question after another, some questions bizarre, \u201cWould you eat meat sacrificed to an idol?\u201d to more tricky ones, \u201cWhy did Paul get Timothy circumcised in Acts chapter 16 if he no longer practiced the Law of Moses?\u201d to some of the usual standard questions, \u201cJesus said only God is good, therefore Jesus is not God because he said, \u2018don\u2019t call me good?\u2019\u201d Over an hour later and we were still talking! Maybe because of the unusual situation, a Moslem woman in full burka questioning a Christian man, but soon we had a group of people surrounding us and listening in to the conversation, then when the women left, they took over, and several hours later, exhausted I headed home \u2013 a profitable day!<\/p>\n

\nNote: He has no hatred towards Moslems, the issue is with the ideology of Islam! As a Christian he seeks to love all Muslims, while honestly engaging with the true nature of Islam<\/p>\n
