A Response to "Is God a Megalomaniac Obsessed with Scaremongering?" -Mufti Abu Layth

In this video Mufti Abu Layth responds to a social media posting arguing that the Abrahamic (and thus Islamic) God is cruel and a megalomaniac.
Mufti Abu Layth articulates why a reading of the Qur'an that results in such an understanding has more to do with previously held opinions, rather than what the Qur'an itself says of God.
