What is your opinion on the Christian interpretation of the noble verse: {The example of those who were entrusted with the Torah and then did not uphold it is like that of a donkey carrying volumes of books. Wretched is the example of the people who deny the signs of Allah, and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people}, where they say that it does not indicate the distortion of the Torah, but rather a lack of understanding and acting upon it, citing Al-Baydawi's interpretation?
The absence of mention of distortion in one verse does not negate its occurrence, as it has been established in other verses, such as His (Allah's) saying: {Among those who are Jews, some distort words from their [original] places} and His saying: {Do you then hope that they would believe you, while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah and then intentionally distort it after they had understood it?}
