Islam true religion?

[popeyespappy]

Before you go perhaps you would like to explain why you and your modern Islamic apologists think your interpretation of the flood account in the Quran as a local event is better than that of Abd Allah ibn Abbas who considered it a global event? After all he was your prophet’s own cousin and is revered among Muslims as an expert in Tafsir and an authority on Islamic Sunnah.

According to Ibn Humayd- Salamah- Ibn Isahq- al-Hassan b. Dinar- Ali b. Zayd- Yusuf b. Mihran- Ibn Abbas: I [Yusuf b. Mihran] heard him [Ibn Abbas] say: ... The water increased wildly, and, as is assumed by the people of the Torah, rose fifteen cubits over the mountain tops. All creatures on the face the earth, every inspirited being or tree, disappeared. No creature remained except Noah and those with him in the boat, as well as Og b. Anak, as is assumed by the people of the Book. The time between God's sending the Flood and the receding of the water in six months and ten nights.
