"If Allah helps you, none can overcome you: If He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? in Allah, then, Let believers put their trust" al-Qur'an 3:160

[Nur]

That was no brain teaser for Muslims, But for non Muslims it should be a challenge.

 

Here is a true story of a christian encounter with Islam

 

Once in a cafeteria I asked a waitress if a menue contained pork, she was unable to know all the fuss about the pork thing so another waitress tried to explain to the confused waitress, here is what she told her.

 

" Muslims do not eat pork, if they eat even by mistake, the must take shower seven times, the last time with sand"

 

So you can imagine how some people may think about Islam.
