What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

No: Mufti Abu Layth says he has no problem with anyone being Salafi; his objection is to cult-like dogmatism in any group.

In more detail

Reading a message that thanks him for standing up to the growing Salafi movement and says that hatred means he is influencing people, Mufti Abu Layth agrees with the second point. He says his criticism is not about a denomination as such: if a person wants to be a Salafi he has no problem with that and will not criticise them for it. The problem, he says, is dogmatic cultism in whatever group a person belongs to, which suffocates religion, already in a coma state. He then has further trouble with his equipment and the stream pauses.

Position stated

correctedChecked by two independent reviews, not by the channel

Mufti Abu Layth says his objection is not to Salafis as a denomination but to dogmatic, cult-like mentality in any group, which he says suffocates religion.

In his words

“it's not about by the way it's not about speaking against a denomination per se it's more about the cult-like mentality”
