Cliff challenges the authenticity of the Quran, referencing historical accounts of the third Caliph Uthman destroying conflicting versions of the Quran and tasking Zaid ibn Thabit with creating a single, unified version. The student defends the Quran's unchanged nature.
Cliff questions why God requires a death penalty for sin and whether God is just in demanding such a sacrifice. He presents the Christian view of Christ dying for sins as an act of God's justice.
The debate explores the differing viewpoints on miracles in Islam and Christianity with one debater pointing out that the miracle of the Quran needs to be understood in Arabic and one that the miracle of Christianity is the person of Jesus Christ. Cliff clarifies he did not mean to imply Islam is for only one nation. An apology is given and accepted and goodbyes are said.
