What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth supports the Islamabad temple: Pakistan is a nation-state of equal citizens, and Muslims who demand tolerance abroad but deny it at home are bigots.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth returns to the verse that Allah's name is glorified often in monasteries, churches and synagogues, saying that had he said this himself people would call him a disbeliever, and recalls someone who called Christians the worst polytheists deserving no respect. He then turns to videos opposing the Hindu temple in Islamabad, where people say Imran Khan should build it in his own backyard, and asks what the problem is. He says Muslims have become bigots who know only victimhood: Pakistanis demand that India accommodate Muslims' mosques, madrasas and family law, yet oppose a temple at home. He supports building places of worship for other communities in Pakistan, which is not a khilafah but a nation-state in which all citizens are equal, just as Muslims in the UK, a small minority, have their mosques.
