**Topics:** Ahmadiyya and false messiahs; Technology and media

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** The reply was prompted by an Ahmadi video claiming Mufti Abu Layth borrowed his views from them, followed by days of online trolling. Mufti says he opposes persecution of Ahmadis but will respond.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth says he has to give the backdrop to why he is addressing the Qadianis: over the past few days he has been trolled online by Ahmadis after one of them made a video about him, which he finds embarrassing and mocks. He says he has not been picking on Ahmadis and has spoken against the persecution of anyone, including them. He describes the video as claiming that anything sensible he has said he took from the Ahmadis, such as his view that there is no second coming of Jesus, though he says his own video explains that the messiah concept is what gave rise to the Ahmadiyya, and that there is no killing of apostates, and as replaying clips of him saying tattoos are not haram. A short clip of the video's maker is played, in which he says the Prophet brought the last shari'ah and is the last law-bearing prophet. Mufti says he was repeatedly tagged, warned that he would respond, and that dozens of accounts then flooded his posts, so that he blocked around forty; one person then emailed him, and he says he put a sincere question to him about Mirza Ghulam.
