Sam Shamoun, the Qur’an, and the Trinity—Did I Misstate His Views?

Did I misrepresent Sam Shamoun on the nature of the God of the Qur’an and the Trinity? In this in-depth response, I carefully walk through Sam’s claims, public behavior, and theology—while addressing whether my portrayal of his views was fair and accurate. Along the way, I explore the Catholic magisterium’s teaching on Islam, clarify the views of recent popes, and examine Sam’s recurring pattern of blocking, misrepresenting, and attacking others.

I also respond to accusations of being divisive, set the record straight on William Albrecht, and reflect on how Catholics can thoughtfully engage tough questions about Islam, heresy, and interreligious dialogue.
