Who has to be blamed for the wrongs done?
    From verses 35:8, 16:93, 74:31, 2:142, we learn that it is Allah who has to be blamed for all the misguidance. While other verses hold man himself responsible for the wrongs done (30:9, 4:79).

"So if they dispute thee, say: "I have permitted my whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me"..... "Do you (also) submit yourselves? If they do, they are in right guidance. But if they turn back, thy duty is to convey the message. And in Allah's sight are (all) His servants"

(8:38-39)   
"Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from disbelief), their past would be forgiven; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning to them). And fight them on until there is no more persecution and the religion becomes Allah's in its entirety... "

In (53:45-46)   God describes the creation of the male and females from the sperm which is a very recent scientific discovery than the revelation of the Quran over 1400 years ago. While (75:38-39)  describes the making of the hanging embryo into a male and female by the formation of his/her organs. Creation and formation into male and female are two distinct entities that express the miraculous choice of the words in the Quran and as obvious could not be seen or observed by the disbelievers.

[53:45-46] He is the One who created the two kinds, male and female from a tiny drop of semen

[75:36] Does the human being think that he will go to nothing? Was he not a drop of ejected semen? Then He created an embryo out of it! He made it into male or female!

It is not hard to know why God used two words (created) and (made) in the two verses because they are the same.

To clarify this false claim we have to know what is used in the Arabic language;

In the Arabic language it is not unusual to use a singular word expression to mean the whole class of the same. God  revealed the book to the prophets, means the books, not a single book. God knows everything in heaven (samaa) (singular) means in all the heavens (samawat) (plural), 3:5 and so on.

God created the heaven (singular) means all the Heavens (plural), e.g. 2:29, 21:61....etc

The same is used in 57:21, the word heaven (samaa) is for the whole class , that is HEAVENS and is equal linguistically to 3:133

[Al-Imran 3:133] You should eagerly race towards forgiveness from your Lord and a Paradise whose width encompasses the heavens and the earth; it awaits the righteous,

[al-Hadid 57:21] Therefore, you shall race towards forgiveness from your Lord, and a Paradise whose width encompasses the heaven and the earth. It awaits those who believed in GOD and His messengers. Such is GOD's grace that He bestows upon whomever He wills. GOD is Possessor of Infinite Grace.

To expose this false claim you have to get the right understanding and right translation:

God does not mislead the people,  but rather it is the people choose to go on the wrong path. Satan misleads them by giving them the false path.

16:193 is often mis-translated as "whom" instead of "whoever", which is what the Arabic Quran says. The claimer here knows about the correct translations but wants to sue the wrong one to serve his purpose.

[16:93] Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He sends astray whoever chooses to go astray, and He guides whoever wishes to be guided. You will surely be asked about everything you have done.

While the believers are ordered to respect and treat their parents amicably under all circumstances they are commanded not to ally themselves with them, since they worship a different god and follow different doctrine and laws. Example, if the parents go to the temple to worship one of the stone gods , the believing children should not go with them or be part of their party but they should treat them with respect as long as they are alive.This is the UTMOST civilized behaviour that the claimer cannot understand or cannot be part of his culture. There is not contradiction between both behaviours for a civilized person.

[9:23] O you who believe, do not ally yourselves even with your parents and your siblings, if they prefer disbelieving over believing. Those among you who ally themselves with them are transgressing.

[ 31:15] If they (parents)  try to force you to set up any idols beside Me, do not obey them. But continue to treat them amicably in this world. You shall follow only the path of those who have submitted to Me. Ultimately, you all return to Me, then I will inform you of everything you have done.

The whole description of Heaven and Hell in the Quran is ALLEGORICAL. See;

http://www.submission.org/suras/app5.html

The claimer uses wrong translations selected from among the other correct ones to present a false picture. All the verses he chose do not speak of bodies going to Heaven but rather answer the challenge of : Could God resurrect the dead ? and the verses answer by saying , since God made these bodies to start with it would not be difficult for Him to resurrect them. It also talk about the Judgment day when we will all be resurrected but our souls would not be earth bound to have our judgment, then the souls will be stratified as per their work. NO WHERE in the Quran does God say we are going to Heaven in our earthy bodies, Resurrection and going to Heaven are two different matters. Quran emphasizes repeatedly that it is the soul not the body that goes to Heaven, e.g. 89:27-30

[17:98] Such is their just retribution, since they rejected our revelations. They said, "After we turn into bones and fragments, do we get resurrected into a new creation?"

[17:99] Could they not see that the GOD who created the heavens and the earth is able to create the same creations? (That) He has predetermined for them an irrevocable life span? Yet, the disbelievers insist upon disbelieving.

[ 20:55] From it we created you, into it we return you, and from it we bring you out once more.

[34:7] Those who disbelieve have said, "Let us show you a man who tells you that after you are torn apart you will be created anew.

[ 75:3] Does the human being think that we will not reconstruct his bones?Yes indeed; we are able to reconstruct his finger tip.

The claimer again uses the wrong translations.  Quran emphasizes that God is in no need of anyone.

[ 51:56] I did not create the jinns and the humans except to worship Me alone.

[ 35:15] O people, you are the ones who need GOD, while GOD is in no need for anyone, the Most Praiseworthy.

It is not difficult to the average intelligent person to understand these two verses;

[4:78] Wherever you are, death will catch up with you, even if you live in formidable castles. When something good happens to them, they say, "This is from GOD," and when something bad afflicts them, they blame you. Say, "Everything comes from GOD." Why do these people misunderstand almost everything?

[4:79] Anything good that happens to you is from GOD, and anything bad that happens to you is from you. We have sent you as a messenger to the people, and GOD suffices as witness. _____________________________________________________________________

*4:78 Bad things are consequences of our own deeds (42:30, 64:11), though God is the doer of everything (8:17). God created the fire to serve us, but you can decide to put your finger in it. We thus hurt ourselves. It is God's law that if you put your finger in the fire, it will hurt.

The claimer deliberately omitted the rest of the verse 10:100. There is no contradiction as you can see.

[ 6:12] Say, "To whom belongs everything in the heavens and the earth?" Say, "To GOD." He has decreed that mercy is His attribute. He will surely summon you all on the Day of Resurrection, which is inevitable. The ones who lose their souls are those who disbelieve.

[10:100] No soul can believe except in accordance with GOD's will. For He places a curse upon those who refuse to understand.

Those who refuse to understand refuse the guidance given to them and therefore choose to go on the wrong path and wrong their own souls. It is their move first. They have the complete freedom to choose the guidance or not.

[16:93] Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He sends astray whoever chooses to go astray, and He guides whoever wishes to be guided. You will surely be asked about everything you have done.

The claimer again uses the wrong translations to convey a wrong meaning.

Here are the correct translations.

[35:8] Note the one whose evil work is adorned in his eyes, until he thinks that it is righteous. GOD thus sends astray whoever wills (to go astray), and He guides whoever wills (to be guided). Therefore, do not grieve over them. GOD is fully aware of everything they do.

[16:93] Had GOD willed, He could have made you one congregation. But He sends astray whoever chooses to go astray, and He guides whoever wishes to be guided. You will surely be asked about everything you have done.

Quran establishes the general rule that there is NO COMPULSION in religion.  Fighting is allowed ONLY in self defense, fighting oppression or injustice, but not for aggression or spread of religion. God in the Quran wants the believers to have tolerance to the disbelievers who  are not oppressing them, persecuting them,  fighting them or fighting their religion. To forgive and live with the followers of other religions is the spirit of Islam (submission).

[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. ...

[45:14] Tell those who believed to forgive those who do not expect the days of GOD. He will fully pay everyone for whatever they have earned.

[ 60:8.2] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable.

GOD enjoins you only from befriending those who fight you because of religion, evict you from your homes, and band together with others to banish you. You shall not befriend them. Those who befriend them are the transgressors.

First here is the right translation;

[ 8:38] Tell those who disbelieved: if they stop, all their past will be forgiven. But if they return, they will incur the same fate as their previous counterparts.

[8:39] You shall fight them to ward off oppression, and to practice your religion devoted to GOD alone. If they refrain from aggression, then GOD is fully Seer of everything they do.

Again, Quran establishes the general rule that there is NO COMPULSION in religion.  Fighting is allowed ONLY in self defense, fighting oppression or injustice but not for aggression or spread of religion. God in the Quran wants the believers to have tolerance to the disbelievers who  are not fighting them, oppressing them, persecuting them,or fighting their religion. To forgive and live with the followers of other religions is the spirit of Islam (submission).

[2:256] There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. ...

[ 60:8.2] GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable.

It is clear from the above verses that 8:39 is one of these situations where there is oppression, and the verse ends by call for peace if aggression of the disbelievers stop. A perfect example of a most civilized law. Praise be to God.

While the law in the Quran is perfect, those who are expected to apply it may not be, and the blame should fall on those who fail to uphold the perfect law in the Quran not o the Quran itself.
