Altering the meanings of terminology is a distortion of them and a source of confusion for the people.
0:15
Some misguided individuals wrong these terms when they alter the meanings of their expressions in order to manipulate them and employ them to confuse people and lead them astray.
0:28
This is done either by distorting the truth or by embellishing falsehood.
0:32
An example of this is:

And peace with those who oppose Islam is conducted according to specific treaties between the leaders and the opposition.
