I have been looking at Acts17Apologetics on Youtube recently , and I found David Wood with his deceptive videos again uploaded a video named by "Does Qur'an 2:256 Show That Islam Is a Religion of Peace?"
and the video is here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOFyVFjo5akSo , He says in his video ( as I listened ) :
" If we follow the methodology lay down in the Qur'an we see that this verse has absolutely nothing to do with how muslims are to live with the world today. - continuing - Let me give you the word of Ibn Kathir one of the greatest sunni commentator of all time and he says this verse is '''' abrogated '''''' by the verse of fighting 9:73 and etc ... "
Really
? Really
Really
David Wood's argument is all based on the words of Ibn Kathir .. So if Ibn Kathir stated exactly what he did , then David Wood is a truthful person , but when I went on reading the words of Ibn Kathir I saw
THAT THE WORDS OF IBN KATHIR ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OF WHAT DAVID WOOD STATED !!How ??
Let's check : ( Ibn Kathir's words are in red color )
No Compulsion in Religion
Allah said,
﴿لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ﴾
(There is no compulsion in religion), meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever Allah directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever Allah blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam.''
It was reported that the Ansar were the reason behind revealing this Ayah, although its indication is general in meaning. Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn `Abbas said ﴿that before Islam﴾, "When (an Ansar) woman would not bear children who would live, she would vow that if she gives birth to a child who remains alive, she would raise him as a Jew. When Banu An-Nadir (the Jewish tribe) were evacuated ﴿from Al-Madinah﴾, some of the children of the Ansar were being raised among them, and the Ansar said, `We will not abandon our children.' Allah revealed,
﴿لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ﴾
(There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path.)''
Abu Dawud and An-Nasa'i also recorded this Hadith. As for the Hadith that Imam Ahmad recorded, in which Anas said that the Messenger of Allah said to a man,
«أَسْلِم»
قَالَ: إِنِّي أَجِدُنِي كَارِهًا قَالَ:
«وَإِنْ كُنْتَ كَارِهًا»
("Embrace Islam.'' The man said, "I dislike it.'' The Prophet said, "Even if you dislike it.'')
First, this is an authentic Hadith, with only three narrators between Imam Ahmad and the Prophet . However, it is not relevant to the subject under discussion, for the Prophet did not force that man to become Muslim. The Prophet merely invited this man to become Muslim, and he replied that he does not find himself eager to become Muslim. The Prophet said to the man that even though he dislikes embracing Islam, he should still embrace it, `for Allah will grant you sincerity and true intent.'Link is Online here

Maybe David Wood needs to take off his glasses to read carefully [ No offence ] but David Wood is convincing his followers unjustly and even his god will not be satisfied on this .. So we ask Why Mr Wood
Why distorting the words of Allah just like monks distorting the bible ?? anyways , I will keep saying du'aa in my prayer to you , and this was only to expose Wood's lies ...
[ Qur'an 3:71 ]:
"O People of the Scripture, why do you confuse the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?"
