Summary of the video (not an excuse for not watching it):

1. Islam has a "Secret Santa" that saved us from being destroyed. Who is this secret saviour?
a. No, it's not Allah. You'll see in a moment that Islam's secret saviour rescues us from Allah.
b. No, it's not Muhammad. Muhammad said, in Sahih Al-Bukhari 2753 "I cannot save you from Allah['s punishment]!"

2. In order to know who saved us from Allah, let's think about why Allah was going to destroy us.
a. Sahih Muslim 6621 and 6622: "If you were not to commit sins, Allah would have swept you out of existence and replaced you with a people who would commit sins, and seek forgiveness from Allah, so he could pardon them."
b. Allah wants us to sin so that he can forgive us. If we don't sin, Allah can't be merciful--he depends on humans to sin so that he can show us his mercy. (It would seem that Allah is not complete without a sinful creation)

3. So in order to avoid being destroyed by Allah, WE MUST SIN. So how come we're here now?
a. Qur'an 2:35-36 and Qur'an 7:19-22 : Adam and Eve sinned because Satan tempted them.
b. If they had not sinned, Allah would have destroyed them.
c. Thus, Satan saved humanity from destruction from Allah by causing us to sin.

4. Why do we sin today?
a. We sin because Satan tempts us.
b. Qur'an 15:39 Satan vows to mislead all of humanity
c. But if Islam is true, we shouldn't hate him--we should thank him, because we wouldn't be here if it weren't for him--our undercover ally

5. Who is Allah's ultimate nemesis?
a. Someone who doesn't sin, right?
b. Sahih Al-Bukhari 3286 -- Satan touches everyone in the world, except Jesus.
c. So Allah can forgive everyone except Jesus, because Jesus disobeyed Allah's command to disobey him.
d. The penalty for disobeying is to be destroyed.....

6. Muslims claim to love God, honor Jesus, and hate Satan. BUT, on closer inspection:
a. Their god wants us to sin, and threatens to destroy us if we don't
b. Their Jesus is God's ultimate nemesis, refusing to sin, even when God threatens him with annihilation
c. The greatest hero in Islam is the Devil himself who saves us from Allah's wrath, by convincing us to sin, so that he (Allah) can forgive us, because he (Allah) is really desperate to show some mercy.

If anyone can make sense of this, feel free to contact the man in the video, David Wood, at Acts17Apologetics / Answering-Muslims and in the meantime, to all you Muslims out there, Merry Christmas.

** For those who don't know, the soundtrack at the beginning and the end of the video is Elvis Presley singing "Here Comes Santa Claus" **
