I would love to hear the debate. Do MDI have a YouTube account? Or mp3?
Check brother’s Sami Zaatari YouTube page. He usually announces when the debate has been uploaded, or you can check his site. It usually takes about 2 weeks or longer for the debate to be uploaded on YouTube. So expect this debate to be uploaded on Youtube by the end of November, inshallah.

Yesterdays debate (Sami verses Michael Dantzie) was part debate – part shambles. The moderator, ahem, did not moderate effectively, if at all; the Christian refused to answer questions put to him during the Q & A, and the whole thing descended into a mess. Definitely the funniest and worse debate I’ve ever attended.
But on the plus side:
Abdullah saved the day. He not only successfully persuaded the Christian to come along (when he got cold feet and wanted pulled out), he stepped in to moderate the proceedings when all order had collapsed, and ensured some decency to the event.
To say that Sami out-classed his opponent would be a massive understatement. All Michael could do was preach to the audience for 25 minutes and later he got increasingly annoyed with the audience when we had the temerity to question him on the coherence of his views.
Sami just sat there calmly watching the chaos unfold before him, occasionally refuting questions from the audience.
so:
Christian side 0/10
Muslim side 10/10
Decency and good order 0/10
