Jamal Hassan says to Sam Shamoun: "Did you ignore the verse in the Quran about Jews changing their book? So if Prophet Muhammad says he believes in the Torah and Allah who revealed the Torah, does that mean everything in it is true? That does not make sense, especially in light of the verse I provided. We Muslims are mandated to believe in all the holy scriptures, does that mean we say everything in it is true? Yes, we believe in the Torah and He who revealed it. But the Quran is clear about the changing of the Torah".
It appears that Jamal is implying that Sam Shamoun should of used deductive reasoning and if he did, he wouldn't have assumed that Muhmmad believed in all of the Torah as the word of Allah. Since supposedly the Quran states the Jews changed their book. Problem that Jamal has to face is according to the Quran none can change the words of Allah.
The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfilment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all. (S. 6:115 Pickthall)
1. None can change the words of Allah. 2. The Torah is the word of Allah. 3. Therefore Torah cannot be cannot be changed.
Because Jamal wants to interpret certain Quranic passages as saying that the Jews did change the Torah with their hands, he is faced with dealing with a contradiction, its either Allah's word namely the Torah can't be corrupted or can be corrupted? If he argues the former then he has to accept the Torah as the uncorrupt word of Allah, but if he argues the latter he would have to question the trustworthiness and omnipotence of Allah for making the claim that none can change his words.
