Acts 17 Apologetics

I was sent a screenshot from a person known as 'Trisha Bale'. She was able to obtain a screenshot in which Paul Rezkalla replies to Yahya's video. Paul Rezkalla appears to be a neophyte when it comes to discussing scripture, but does well to participate with the Acts 17 Team on their crazed escapades. Click the picture to enlarge. If you're too lazy to wait for the picture to load, I've posted the text version below the picture:

"I wonder why you are so quick to side against Christians. This liar, Yahya Snow has no idea what he is talking about, he lives in England yet he thinks he knows so much of what is going on here in the USA. He raises claims of David and Sam being thrown out of ISNA...they were invited in, no? Why were they invited in, in the first place? Why were they kicked out? Hmm? They were not kicked out, they left because the sheikh that they were taking to was yelling and pushing them. Please get all the facts before you make assumptions and side with people who are blatantly lying. Just because Nabeel says some officers were good to us, does not mean that NO ONE in the entire police department of Dearborn made sexual comments about our sister. Yes some officers were nice to us, and some were not. There is no contradiction there. When the videos are released, a lot of people will be shown for the liars that they are. How do you know that we are lying and that Yahya is telling the truth? And if David wants to use donations to buy Sam a computer with their funds, he is certainly entitled to. That is their money. David always tells his donors what the money will be used for, it is their choice if they want to donate or not. Yes David did try to kill a man, but we all did evil before coming to Christ, the Apostle Paul persecuted an arrested Christians before He encountered our Lord and had his life radically changed. The same is true for David, He is a man who loves the Lord now, and this is evident by all his self-sacrifice. You are obviously biased. I hope that you will see the truth. We love you sister."

Please note that Paul Rezkalla claims that they were not thrown out of the conference. We have evidence that the original creator of the video (who IS an Acts 17 Team member, no doubt) filmed the video using his android phone, confirms that they were thrown out of ISNA. Please see the relevant picture below or video page, and read the description. I provide the text of the description underneath the picture:

"This is Sam and David being thrown out of the ISNA conference after we were invited in. The black man is the Shiek that Sam was supposed to debate."

Furthermore, another post also reveals that David Wood's sock-puppet Nabeel Qureshi had this to say:

Nabeel Qureshi writes:

Hey Trisha--

No one was kicked out of ISNA. Notice, the video Yahya posted shows no one getting kicked out, nor does anyone say in the video that they were being kicked out. It's as if I were to post a video showing OJ Simpson in court, titling it "OJ admits to killing his wife!" and counting that as evidence even if there is no admission whatsoever.

Yet somehow you consider this lame argument a reason for us to clean up our ministries, and you're adversarial enough to post it on the pages of many of my friends. You're on a fast-track to coming off my friends list.

We have eye-witnesses and we can contact those officials. Do you really want us to get their testimonies? Up to you ;)

Nabeel Qureshi writes:

Go for it - either people will speak the truth (and thus further vindicate us) or falsehood (thus providing God an opportunity to use their guilt to turn them towards repentance).

Indeed Nabeel Qureshi. The game is over. Even your own team member admitted that Sam Shamoun and David Wood were thrown out of ISNA. You tried too hard, you fool.

Update - The creator of the video decided to send kufrtokufr, who then relayed it to us, a little explanation which you can find below for your convenience:

"First thanks for ripping off my video, That's real integrity. Second thanks for being deceptive like all Muslims are.

Sorry to confuse you with the FACTS. But here they are.

1. ISNA is a expensive event. Ticket prices over $100 dollars. We did not purchase tickets.

2. We were happy to be outside of the Rosemont Theater on Saturday and Sunday. This video was shot on Sunday night.

3. We were INVITED, yes INVITED into ISNA by a BURKA BABE (you can see her in the first video) to speak to a sheik, on Sunday night.

4. The Sheik started screaming "Paul is a liar, Al Quartab is a Liar, the DISCIPLES were liars" It was after this point that we decided to leave, the Shiek actually grabbed Sam and said "Your not going anywhere... I got you I got you" He also started telling that to others that had gathered around. "I got him I got this..." etc... It was after this point that I started filming with my phone.

6. Security came up and asked to see our passes. We didnt have any as I stated above and we explained that we were invited in by the Burka Babe.

7. We were informed by security that since we didn't have any passes we had to leave, and that the Burka Babe did not have the authority to invite anyone into the conference with out a pass. So that was it, no arrest, no trouble we were invited in by someone who did not have the authority to invite us in.

Those are the facts, So sorry to disappoint you. But hey your a Muslim so i'm sure you wont let facts get in the way of your agenda.

One more thing I was given a Quran, I did not want to set it down on the ground as this would offend Muslims so I asked one of the Muslims to hold it for me. After we were leaving I went up to the Muslim who was holding the Quran I was given and asked for it back. He said "No This is My Quran"

So he stole my Quran. So much for Muslims being honest.

I am not related to ACts 17 Apologetics in anyway shape or form."
