Episode notes
Friendship That Changed A Life
- David Wood met Nabeel Qureshi on a college speech team and they became close friends who debated Christianity and Islam for years.
- Their friendship led Nabeel to convert to Christianity after extended study, dreams, and debates documented in Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus.
Internet Breaks Religious Information Monopolies
- YouTube removed the insulation that kept many Muslims from hearing critiques; videos reached audiences in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and beyond.
- That global access motivated David to focus on video apologetics instead of local speaking tours.
Rising Apostasy Among Young Muslims
- Large-scale apostasy among young Muslims is real: surveys show ~24–26% leaving Islam in some cohorts.
- Most converts leave after encountering refutations of common Muslim claims (scientific miracles, perfect preservation, Muhammad's character).
