Islam

The Titanic Made of Swiss Cheese

Every belief system has its pressure points. Some have cracks that can be patched. Others, like Islam, are riddled with contradictions so deep they can’t be hidden. Islam is both the Titanic and a block of Swiss cheese: a massive ship that collided with the iceberg of biblical truth, and at the same time a structure full of holes that no amount of apologetic patchwork can fill.

The result? A faith that sinks under its own weight the moment you test it.

The Titanic Analogy: A Ship That Hit the Iceberg

Islam presents itself as unsinkable — the “final revelation,” perfect, complete, and flawless. But the Qur’an strikes an iceberg the moment it confirms the Bible.

The Qur’an affirms the Torah and the Gospel again and again:

• “He has revealed the Torah and the Gospel before as guidance for mankind” (Surah 3:3–4).

• “We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light” (Surah 5:46).

• “O People of the Book! You have no ground to stand upon unless you uphold the Torah and the Gospel” (Surah 5:68).

In other words, Muhammad told Christians to trust the very Scriptures we still have today. Yet those Scriptures directly contradict the Qur’an on the deity of Christ, the crucifixion, salvation, and the nature of God Himself.

That’s the iceberg. And once the Qur’an hit it, Islam’s hull was ripped apart. Either the Bible was uncorrupted — in which case Muslims must accept it — or it was corrupted, which makes the Qur’an false for endorsing it. No patch can seal that breach.

The Swiss Cheese Analogy: Holes All the Way Through

But Islam isn’t just a ship that hit an iceberg. Even before the collision, it was already made of Swiss cheese. The surface may look solid, but beneath the coating are holes everywhere.

1. Contradiction Holes

The Qur’an insists it is clear and perfect, yet Muslims rely heavily on Hadiths and later traditions to explain basic practices like prayer, fasting, and pilgrimage. If the Qur’an is “complete,” why all the gaps?

2. Historical Holes

Islam claims Abraham built the Kaaba in Mecca, yet there is zero evidence of Mecca’s existence in Abraham’s time. No Jewish or Christian texts, no archaeology, no maps. A gaping hole in the story.

3. Moral Holes

Slavery, concubinage, and child marriage aren’t moral “gray areas” — they are deep fractures in Islam’s ethical foundation. A perfect God doesn’t sanctify such things.

4. Doctrinal Holes

Allah claims to be unchanging, yet openly changes His own laws through “abrogation.” That’s not perfection. That’s inconsistency.

5. Textual Holes

The Qur’an Muslims hold today went through editing, burning, and multiple competing recitations. Whole verses are missing. Early Muslim sources themselves admit this. A book supposedly eternal and preserved has more holes than a sieve.

Put together, Islam is like Swiss cheese: no matter where you look, you fall through a hole.

When Swiss Cheese Meets Iceberg

The real devastation comes when you put the two analogies together. The Qur’an didn’t just hit the iceberg of biblical confirmation — it did so while being riddled with holes. That means water rushed in everywhere, and the ship had no chance of staying afloat.

• The contradictions are the holes.

• The Bible’s authority is the iceberg.

• Together, they guarantee Islam’s theological shipwreck.

Muslim apologists desperately try to patch the ship with excuses: “The real Injil was lost,” “The Bible was corrupted,” “Confirmation means something else.” But these are lifeboats lowering from a vessel that’s already doomed. The Swiss cheese hull cannot be repaired, and the iceberg cannot be undone.

The False Confidence of an “Unsinkable” Faith

The Titanic was advertised as “unsinkable.” Passengers trusted in its size and design — right up until the moment it went down. Islam projects the same aura of unbreakable certainty: the final prophet, the final book, the final religion.

But confidence doesn’t change reality. The Qur’an’s fatal collision with the Bible, combined with the countless holes in its theology, means Islam’s foundations have already collapsed. What remains is only the illusion of strength, held together by fear, tradition, and apologetic patchwork.

Conclusion: The Wreck and the Lifeboat

The Titanic sank, but some passengers lived because they took the lifeboats. Islam’s ship is sinking too — not because of outside attack, but because its own contradictions and confirmations tore it apart.

For Muslims, the choice is clear: cling to the wreckage, or step into the lifeboat of Christ. Unlike Islam’s vessel, the Gospel isn’t full of holes. It’s solid, trustworthy, and confirmed not by contradictions, but by history, prophecy, and resurrection power.

Islam is the Titanic made of Swiss cheese. It was doomed from the start, and the collision with the Bible only sealed its fate. The ship is going down. The question is whether its passengers will go down with it.
