The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says those now promoted as representatives of mainstream Islam have only mediocre knowledge, while those with more knowledge, like himself, lack the image.

In more detail

A chat question asks whether he has seen Mohammed Hijab's podcast with guests; he asks whether it is the one with Jonathan Brown and another guest whose name is garbled in the captions [?]. He says the problem is that the people given the position of representing mainstream Islam are an embarrassment, because in truth they do not have much in-depth knowledge; it is not that they have none, but it is mediocre. On the other hand, he jokes, people like him who do not do mediocrity do not look or behave the part, so the situation is hopeless. He ends with a recurring joke about a clip on the small and the big Dajjal.
