Great post. Very informative.

He makes a few errors like saying Christianity is not monotheistic, but those errors are small in number.

Taheri made the point often by Muslims that their religion is "truly" monotheistic.

Technically, he has a point. From the Muslim point of view, shared, I might add by some western, i.e. Christian thinkers, the the Christian concept of the trinity makes Christian monotheism less "pure" than the radical monotheism of Islam.

I am not taking sides in this debate of a theological principle that I really don't care about one way or the other. I'm only pointing out what Taheri was getting at.

It isn't monotheistic. Read Genesis where our God family says, "Let us make man in our image." Sounds like hypocrisy, but that is because of how the mainstream teaches Christianity. They also teach about other things that are not in the Bible.... Christmas, Easter, Celibacy of Priests, Sabbath moved to Sunday, the Feasts done away with, etc. If you can see through it all, it might make you wonder who instructed all the teachings that are not in the Bible.... and, why?

That is not an error.
That is a fundamental tenet of Islam straight from the Qur'an.

[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!
[9.31] They have taken their doctors of law and their monks for lords besides Allah, and (also) the Messiah son of Marium and they were enjoined that they should serve one God only, there is no god but He; far from His glory be what they set up (with Him).
[9.32] They desire to put out the light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah will not consent save to perfect His light, though the unbelievers are averse.
[9.33] He it is Who sent His Apostle with guidance and the religion of truth, that He might cause it to prevail over all religions, though the polytheists may be averse.
