What indeed. I believe Bahnsen wrote a paper on this. Unfortunately the argument always amounts to "Our book is consistent and theirs is not". There are of course, Muslim Presuppositional Apologetics. It's an argument designed to be used against atheists. Van Til himself was pretty much silent on world religions. Others have taken up the banner since. I remain unconvinced. Of course, that's because this argument isn't meant to be persuasive. I've never seen it used for any purpose other than the one I stated in previous posts.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
