DawahMan seems to be pooping his pants over Yashir Qad - who is a rather famous personality in the Dawah scene (you may have seen Yashir in the news a few years ago because he was receiving death threats from al-Saud's Henchmen in Iraq and Syria). Apparently DawahMan can "no longer do the Dawah*" (yay!), until Yashir Qadi (and others like Hamza Yusuf) renounce their Kaffir views because they are quote: "blockiing his lane". (DawahMan does not claim he is a Kaffir, only that he is scared Yashir is on the road to becoming one). Along with saying in an e-mail that he does not believe the Quran is word for word the word of Allah, Yashir Qadi was caught sitting next to a woman. Shock! Horror! The nerve of this Yashir Qadi guy to have the audacity to sit next to a woman!
*He says the Christians will come up to him, during the Dawah, and tell him: "Yashir Qadi, who studied for ten years at Medina University does not believe the Quran has been preserved, so why should we believe you?" DawahMan also thinks Yashir has been getting too chummy with those dirty Shia fellows recently and he think they have been a corrupting influence (some of them, DawhMan says, believe the Quran has been corrupted). This is in addition to a (secular) academic environment allegedly being a corrupting influence.
All in this video (the Quran doubting segment, with screenshots of e-mails, starts around twelve minutes; the saucy photographs of Yashir sat next to a women come before that):
Some backstory:
Yashir Qadi got a job as a lecturer at Yale University a few years ago. DawahMan says he knows the academic environment causes people to "have doubts" (no surprises there). And he shows e-mails in which Yashir Qadi says he does not believe the Quran contains only the words of Allah and that it contains the words of humans and, therefore, is not perfectly preserved. According to Yashir Qadi, the Quran has "human elements" in it and we have to rethink our understanding of the Quran and think "outside of the box". He basically says things to the effect of: "we need to discard the notion that the Quran is perfectly preserved and start again".
