He even had the temerity to insist he was right in response to this video. I suspect it was just a superficial attempt to try and save face after such an embarrassment. He wrote:
Erm, his link is of some isolated guy in Europe making inflammatory comments about people who don’t attend his mosque. It has nothing to do with burning people’s houses down. Also, he would have realised the Hadith is not literally about burning houses down as the Prophet p never did such a thing – although he could have if he meant he literally intended to carry the action out.
The weird thing is, I don’t even think the ISIS nutters in Syria even make this argument and burn houses down for missing prayers. Converted2Islam has gone beyond ISIS!
This comment from a person in UAE hits the nail on the head with logic:
“dude where I’m from UAE and where i often work Eqypt, Iraq Syria etc etc…they wouldn’t need America to bombard them if they were torching their houses into oblivion on daily bases five times aday would they? 🔥 🔥….if indeed the hadeeth is to be taken literally ….”
I wonder if the Christians making this argument think they should cut off their eyes every time they see a pretty woman?(Matthew 5:27-30)
The simple fact that neither the Prophet nor any of his companions ever did this is proof that it is not literal just as the whole take out your eyes in Matthew 5 is not literal.
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life–such a person cannot be my disciple.
And yet as far as I am aware no Christian theologian or scholar or even preacher has ever taught this as a literal command.

“Dear Yayha and Jonathan Brown: You both have a poor understanding of that hadeeth. The hadeeth is indeed meant to be taken literally and acted upon as such. Haven’t you seen the recent news (it’s very related to my latest video): “Muslim Imam called for assassination of Muslims who refuse communal prayers in the mosque.” http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/728076/Jihadi-linked-ISIS-mosque-raided-and-imam-arrested-after-kill-sinners-sermon ”

Indeed.
Luke 14:26 says
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life–such a person cannot be my disciple.

Hyperbole.
