**Topics:** Debate challenges and reviews; The Mufti and the channel

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Yes: Mufti Abu Layth says he has invited many of his critics onto MindTrap for respectful dialogue, but not hate preachers or extremists.

## Longer summary

Asked whether he would invite his critics onto MindTrap, Mufti Abu Layth says he has: he names a shaykh he has answered [?], another critic he has offered a BukhariGate discussion, and Daniel Haqiqatjou [?], and says he invites almost anyone who puts something out about him, promising to be respectful. He says he is not interested in hosting extremist hate preachers who only call people kafir, giving an ISIS extremist as an example, but in people who still have intellect; he calls several critics intelligent but consumed by what he calls the Wahhabi mindset, joining a cult that puts blinkers on them. He says he has also invited someone to defend Salafi creed, and that critics who used to say he runs away now say they do not talk to deviants.

[1:48:55] if they be are just like extremist hate preachers catholic having catholic catholic catholic catholic catholic catholic you know that's not dialogical that's not the kind of person that you know has any um you know just any dignity left in them so i'm not interested in inviting i don't know an isis extremist on mine trap for example i'm not interested in just having a hateful person sit there and just go what you care food curfew i'm not interested in those people i'm interested in people who still have

[1:49:33] uh who still have an int an intellect but people like sheikh hassan is obviously very intelligent people like even daddy why are actually very intelligent i've said this publicly so many times i've said that but i'm shocked how they are so dogmatist you know people even fareed gangutili is you know he's obviously intelligent he's not he's it's just the wahabi thing has consumed them but i'm more than happy for these people to come on minecraft i extend that i always extend invites i've even said that you know about somebody to come defend the salafi

[1:50:11] akida an imam so my invites are always there and i think that hurts people even more that i have mind trap because before they would like to say that people would like to say that oh mufti just runs away from things i've never ran away from anything and now that i have a show i just straight away say hey come on my show and then they said we don't talk to deviants any we don't talk to deviants

[1:50:43] yeah no when i'm saying these people look clearly these people are you know they're not that when i say these people have intellect they clearly do i mean there's no they they have talent but they've obviously be joined a cult so that what that does is it puts blinkers on you but you can see that they're not you know they're not stupid people but they've just wanna you know they have to follow the cult

[1:51:18] once the selfies are gone what would musti do with his life shook him for the super chat uh you see i don't feel dogmatism will go i don't feel it will unfortunately because religion with a capital r an institutionalized religion
