What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenGuest suggestions for Mind Trap; he says his only criteria are that guests be interesting and interested, and he criticises the blacklisting culture.
In more detail
Viewers suggest guests for Mind Trap. Mufti Abu Layth says he likes one suggested preacher, whose name is censored in the captions, despite theological disagreements, but that he might take a lot of heat for appearing. He says his criteria for guests are that they be interesting and interested, and criticises a schoolyard 'blacklisting' mentality among imams who fear being shunned for talking to someone, mentioning his Salafi aqidah challenge. He says another shaykh might one day agree, since he acts on his convictions regardless of the people around him. He then jokes about chat comments, says a former guest has gone quiet for over a year, and warns that trolls will be blocked.

you know alarm bells should be ringing a cha-cha take over the world cha cha cha cha so that's uh that's the problem you know anybody who says that to you we need to take over the world ah i bet you wait here so yeah bro [Â __Â ] on mind trap oh that would be good i i think maybe bro [Â __Â ] might come on you see i sympathize with bro [Â __Â ] because i i really like him i have much love for bro [Â __Â ] we disagree theo you know theologically ideologically but
he's a great guy uh really gel well with his personality i can understand you see if bro [Â __Â ] comes on minecraft he might get a hell of a lot of slack from people now i would love for him to come on but let's see because i don't know is that the kind of heat he's you know to him it might just be unnecessary heat like i don't need that heat so but it's a shame that you see cults work like that that they you can't even talk to someone you know it's like i'm gonna you see you don't need to agree with them but if i talk to you i get blacklisted
the power the power but i but that would be great maybe he will come on i will uh speak to him inshallah whoever killed the soul what was that about bring sad the slim on okay i mean i've never really reached out to sat the slim uh sure why not i mean you know i'm happy to bring you know if if there's people you you think are great candidates you know they my simple criteria is too that they are interesting and that they are interested this criteria works
in many walks of life so interesting and interested okay so if they are let's go with it let's roll with it so if you know any of these people you're in touch with them you can ask them look are they happy to come on i feel a huge problem is this blacklisting mentality they're a bit afraid that other people will blacklist them it's so dumb it's like schoolyard mentality you know oh you talk to him not my friend oh i'm not a friend i don't like him
how old are you again i'm 52 huh [Laughter] how old are you 47 how old are you 38 this is the mentality of imams and today seriously i've said to people look like when i've put out uh the salafi akhida challenge salafi any salafi salafi yakita ajaya [Laughter]
look i don't have to agree with them or talk to them what difference does it make have a joke and a love we'll see what else we get to learn about god but uh yeah so but that's that's the weird thing uh i would love to get sheikh as but i don't think he would ever agree either you see weirdly i actually feel maybe someday sheikha might agree he's kind of got that personality we see the thing about shaykh though i this is a a good quality is that
if he if he if he kind of gets convinced about doing something he just won't care what his you know his people around him or he'll just do it so like hence he makes many blunders as well because he just kind of does it but you see that mentality is also praiseworthy in this kind of thing i think if he so i can kind of see maybe someday might come on mine trap you never know below-eared
so that's uh right okay what's going on people somebody said uh awesome saying i'm not hourglass shaped i'm not that feminine but yeah after this one okay awesome what shape are you know like is this how the the conversation's going
he's like hey i'm not our shape okay i wouldn't expect it to be our shaped but not that i had an interest in it i mean i think it would be rather concerning if it was our shaped [Laughter] yeah doctor i think there's a problem down here you know there's a it's like a ship ship is playing shape ship you ship [Laughter] so yeah
this mufti could you encourage your followers to visit the troll network and become followers my pick is of a green troll with boxing gloves i don't know what that is i can't encourage them to go there for all i know they go then you hack the so yeah i don't i don't know i have to check out these things we need dr kashif back yeah dr
he's kind of gone dark um for uh maybe over a year now over maybe about a year and a half he's kind of gone dark and he's not really um so i don't know i don't know whether he would because he did used to have a a rule first he only does beginner stuff he doesn't come on other people's shelves but then following the
the the spice the following the let me add a little bit of spice to that i know he did appear on some podcasts with other people but it'd be interesting why not let's ask him let's see what he says cool let's uh arrive so people's people's peoples let me take a look at the facebook uh and then we're gonna start
listen kid we're not in pakistan so take it easy with your patriarch george i don't know what that is if you're coming on this stream to start trouble expect pushback leave them alone if is uh if somebody is trolling people you will be blocked
