Nabeel’s post on Answering Muslims says it all. I mean, I said it in June. They said it in June. Once the police gave back the video footage everyone on YouTube saw it (although some were unwilling to accept the fact that Acts 17 did nothing wrong).
Starting August 1st Acts 17 will be going through the book of Acts on Answering Muslims. At the pace of a chapter a day they will complete the book of Acts on August 28.
I threw together the YouTube Videos of Acts 17 in Dearborn last year (2009). Why on earth you would want them via bittorrent I have no clue, but now you have that option :) Most people will just go to their YouTube Channel.

David Wood has posted a detailed timeline of his (and Nabeel Qureshi’s) activity in Dearborn, Michigan at the Dearborn Arab International Festival. They will be adding to it as quickly as they are able to upload more of the footage to YouTube.
If you have heard any rumors about these four Christians (David, Nabeel, Paul, or Negeen) misbehaving you need to read this and watch the videos. The opposite is the case. The security at the Arabic festival are biased against free speech (when it is Christians doing evangelism which is normally protected under the 1st amendment) and the Dearborn Police are corrupt to the core.
In this video: David Wood and Negeen Mayel discuss her arrest. As it turns out the video does not exactly match up with the police report. The footage from her camera starts about 3 minutes and 42 seconds into the video.
Thanks to this video *finally* being released we have a photo of one of the Dearborn policeman who was involved in this false arrest:
One of the arresting officers who lied to Negeen and wrote the ridiculious police report
Another of the same officer:
The man above along with this man (who could possibly be the one from the photograph of David’s arrest) were two of the officers who participated in the false arrests of June 18th:

Nabeel Qureshi, one of the four Christians illegally arrested in Dearborn, Michigan, has posted a video response to Mayor John O’Reilly’s comments and letter.
As Mayor O’Reilly would contend, many Christian groups come to Dearborn to evangelize at the Arab festival and do so without any problem. The sole culprits are Acts 17 Apologetics, an apologetics ministry headed by David Wood and Nabeel Qureshi. O’Reilly states:
The City of Dearborn has been under attack for several years by a group identifying themselves as Acts 17 Apologetics. They arrive in Dearborn with the intent to disrupt a local cultural festival and misrepresent facts in order to further their mission of raising funds through emotional response. The funds they raise are then used to finance travel and cameras to disrupt other events in other cities.
This paragraph (the first paragraph of the open-letter) reveals a lot about the Mayor. Not only does Mayor O’Reilly know the actions of David and Nabeel, he also knows their motives. Of course the Mayor of the city in which this breach of civil rights occurred is going to be unbiased in his assessment… riiiight. Throughout the letter John O’Reilly paints these men as villains, accusing them of illegal behavior.
Mayor O’Reilly does not address what happened to the illegally confiscated cameras.
Mayor O’Reilly does not address what happened to the illegally confiscated video footage.
Mayor O’Reilly may think he “knows* why Acts 17 operates. Even if he were right that does not excuse the illegal behavior of the Dearborn Police. Please do not buy into the spin. Let’s be honest, if he were right in what he wrote, the video footage his police illegally obtained would prove his case. Let’s see it, O’Reilly. If there’s nothing to hide then return their cameras.
