The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth warns that anyone who says Muslims need to take over the world should set alarm bells ringing.

In more detail

A chat question asks his thoughts on a figure whose name is garbled in the captions [?]. Mufti Abu Layth says that, from what he knows and from the man's own past posts during an online clash a couple of years earlier, he considers him an extremist and a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which he calls a cancer for the ummah for advocating military coups in Muslim countries, and sympathetic to Osama bin Laden. He says such extremists have softened their tone because the younger generation does not accept it. He warns that alarm bells should ring whenever anybody says we need to take over the world.
