mr. chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
the subject of this evening's talk* — "what the bible says about muhummed (peace be upon him)"—will no doubt come as a surprise to many of you because the speaker is a muslim. how does it come about that a muslim happens to be expounding prophecies from the jewish and christian scriptures?

as a young man, about 30 years ago, i attended a series of religious lectures by a christian theologian, a certain rev. hiten, at the "theatre royal", durban.
