David Wood

Education Wood said that after five years between jail and prison, he was released in 2000 and went to college Wood said that he concluded that the Quran and Muhammad's example did not simply describe violence in the past as in the Bible, but rather commanded ongoing violence. As a result, Wood said he then became a Christian apologist.

Christian apologetics Wood has been described by fellow Christian apologists, New Testament scholar Michael R. Licona, and theologian William Lane Craig, as one of many apologists who "have stepped up to the plate and interacted seriously with Islam's truth claim", and a "prominent Christian thinker". His YouTube page has furthermore been described by another apologist, Scott Ventureyra, as "a great resource with debates, testimonies and much important information concerning Islam, Muhammad, the hadith, sirah and Qur’an". including debates with Muslim scholars like Dr Shabir Ally. He has also hosted the satellite television talk show "Jesus or Muhammad?" on the Aramaic Broadcast Network. In 2008, Wood, Qureshi and Acts 17 Apologetics organized several debates in Norfolk, Virginia at the Old Dominion University and the Central Baptist Church in Ghent titled "Christianity vs. Islam", which included Muslim debaters Shadid Lewis, Nadir Ahmed and Sami Zaatari.

Wood and Qureshi were involved with preaching to Muslims at an Arab festival in Dearborn, Michigan in 2009. They were then ejected for filming interviews at a Muslim booth, after which they protested with YouTube videos titled "Sharia in the U.S." and being charged with a misdemeanor of disturbing the peace, but they were later acquitted. In May 2013, the City of Dearborn was required to post a public apology to be maintained on the City's website for three years and pay $300,000 to Wood and his three compatriots.

Wood opposed the Park51 Islamic Center in New York City, dubbed the "Ground Zero Mosque", arguing that it was not meant to honor the victims' families, but instead was a symbol of Islamic victory and named Cordoba House in memory of the Islamic conquest of Spain by the Umayyad Caliphate which later formed the Caliphate of Córdoba. He participated in a rally against the Islamic center in 2010 organized by Stop Islamization of America, in which he accidentally nearly caused a riot by giving out pamphlets about Islam to two Christian Copts who wanted something to distribute, but who were mistakenly thought by the crowd to be Muslims. He produced a viral YouTube video in connection with the event, titled "Of Mosques and Men", that received over 2 million views. Wood is also a member of the Society of Christian Philosophers and the Evangelical Philosophical Society.

British criminal Mohiussunnath Chowdhury, who was arrested for attacking two police officers outside Buckingham Palace with a sword in 2017, had repeatedly shared videos of Wood on Telegram. While describing Wood as a "hardcore enemy of Allah" and stating that "some videos I don't watch where he mocks Islam", he noted that "his other videos are more truthful than the majority of Islamic speakers". Lizzie Dearden, writing in The Independent, reported that Chowdhury was "consuming a considerable degree of right-wing literature presenting Islam as inherently violent, from anti-immigrant activist Tommy Robinson, Robert Spencer’s website Jihad Watch, and the American anti-Islam preacher David Wood." She concluded that Chowdhury relied on these sources to reinforce his thinking.

On May 26, 2022, Wood announced his plan to delete his YouTube channel, due to what he saw as an increase in censorship and the banning of many of his videos. Wood encouraged his fans to re-upload his videos onto their own YouTube channels if they wished to keep them on the site. On July 3, he changed his plans in response to Hatun Tash being robbed and arrested at Speakers' Corner, opting instead to delete his videos and transfer ownership of the channel to Tash. Tash had earlier appeared on YouTube together with Wood, discussing how she had been warned by police following previous attacks against her. In August 2022, Wood returned to YouTube under the name Apologetics Roadshow. They live in the Bronx, New York City, On April 17, 2023, he stated that his third son, one of the two diagnosed with the condition, had died the previous day at the age of 15.
