This is a video of David Wood and Nabeel Qureshi asking questions at Arabfest, Dearborn. The date is June 21st, 2009. There was a booth at the festival which had a banner titled “Islam: Got Questions? Get Answers.” From their table, we picked up a pamphlet claiming that Islam promotes peace. We noticed that it was full of poor logic and errors, so we decided to make a video refuting it. We went to the booth that gave us the pamphlet to give them the opportunity to defend their claims. Security, however, stepped in and forced us to turn off our camera.
(See video below)
“Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!”
—Isaiah 5:20
“A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”
—Jeremiah 5:30-31
We left the booth, received advice from police, and found out that the actions of the security guards were illegal. We went back to the booth to record a potential answer again. Realizing that the Muslims present had no answer, we left.
When we came outside, we were asked some questions by two young men, who had been sent by security to entrap us. While we responded to them, festival security started assaulting us, as you will see in this video. The conclusion of this video is a mob of festival security attacking our cameras, pushing us back, kicking our legs, and lying to the police.
We ask you, is it a coincidence that the city with the highest percentage of Muslims in the United States is the city where Christianity is not allowed to be represented (let alone preached) on a public sidewalk? Is it coincidence that in this city, people will say “No way!” when we say “This is the United States of America”?
Is this what will happen when Islam takes over the United States?

Ah, yes, Dearborn, Michigan? Where the economy has collapsed and the Ford Motor Co. has laid off hundreds. First, these residents pushed God (Jesus) out of their lives and civil government (thus, their economic collapse), and now these people are inviting another curse upon this area. How unfortunate. I’m gonna pray for them. I think we all should be intercessors. Praise Jesus.

I see a little bit of Alex Jones syndrome here. Crying assault and threatening to sue when there is no intent to injure, though there is physical harassment involved (pushing, shoving, etc). I wonder if another group of people could sneak around and do what they please with the amount of distraction they created with these power-tripping security people anyway?
Defying the police/security is only asking for assault. The cop/secof/brown-shirt has an 90+% chance of getting away with it and a 50+% chance of successfully fabricating an assault charge against you.
I’m sure a christian-dominant festival would be just as non-accommodating as muslims. I don’t know how many of the security officers are muslim, but I think more of them are enjoying their power trip than their muslim roots (if applicable)

The whole video has been pulled, and Andrea is right, youtube has shut down Acts17Apologetics site!

Thanks for the video.
Our Lord Jesus won our salvation at the cross, but unless other people accept this, and realise the truth, they will never achieve the peace that they may profess or want.
“Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”" John 14:6

It is a shame that in this country that has been given its blood to defend our freedom so many times, our citizen are not allowed to preach our beliefs, Christianity, that it is at the very foundation of our beginnings.
We are a Christian country, that because of its freedom allowed other people to practice their own beliefs. When Our rights are being threatened by this guest religion is time to appeal to the Congress to legislate to protect our people from the ones trying to erode the rights granted to us by our Constitution.

Vee,
Act17, speak of the Jews speaking to their own people, the Jews at a Jewish Sinagogue. And Paul was trying to make them understand that Jesus was the Mesiah they had been waiting for so long.
