**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Housekeeping: Mufti Abu Layth opens the stream and lists tonight's topics, including David Wood tearing the Quran, the UAE-Israel deal and a quarrel with a critic.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth opens the stream late on Sunday night, explaining that he could not do it the following night, so he waited until past midnight to keep it a Monday. He checks why two live streams seem to be running, and lists what he will cover: David Wood and the Mohammed Hijab flare-up in which the Quran was torn, the UAE's new relations with Israel, the man he nicknames Gangu Teli, and some charities, alongside viewers' questions. He plays his opening video to check that the sound works after last week's problem, and mentions a video he recently uploaded whose aftermath he will discuss later.
