How haters cut and paste Mufti's video and tweets | Mufti Abu Layth

let me say something i'll i'll i'll explain this ruling here this look people people can't seem to make up their mind about me my my haters man my haters you see on one hand they claim that my arguments are stupid they are baseless they are so weak they are easily refutable easily like you know as fareed beloved said that basically i'm like a child

like i my thoughts my ideas are childlike in front of him and this is how people you know on one hand this is how they portray me they say you know this guy his arguments are so dumb so weak so you know oh it's it's just a bundle of straw but then you see if that be the case like let's say i don't like somebody's views and they they're so easy to refute i would still man them i would present them in the in exactly how he's saying them because

they're so easy anyway to refute and then i would smash them to smithereens but what you get is these same people then they completely straw man and present a distorted view which i'm not even saying in many in some cases i may be saying a part of that as part of a greater whole but they will kind of make it look so weak kind of cut and paste and then present them and say oh my god look mufti says this

and you know somebody there's a i don't know whether it's a tweet going on around or something but some people they cut and pasted parts of my comments or something put them together and said oh my god look what mufti is saying about incest okay so so just to okay so just to be clear what they're saying so and i'll come to this because it's kind of linked so on the interesting i had somebody message that mufti do you say this about

interest they're saying mufti is saying incest is a totally natural thing to do i've never said that in my life i mean i don't know like if you're gonna refute me just refute me on what i actually say why are you making things up like you're making things up and then refuting them and i've never even said that ever like i've never ever said anything like that not even remotely close so what they've done is they've taken we're a bunch of paragraphs where i've written about homosexuality in the past and i've responded to the claim that

where people said homosexuality is not natural it's unnatural so i've said that look even though in islam you know for the for the most part most ulama consider homosexuality haram however making a claim that it's unnatural is not scientifically backed because you know now you're making a statement about nature and nature is all around us in the world so i have highlighted that look science does show that homosexuality does actually exist in most species in nature

it's not the dominating sexual practice but it exists in almost every species in nature so to say the statement that homosexuality is not natural it's not scientifically accurate and it's not a it's not to make statements about nature is not the realm of religion it's the realm of people who study nature which is science whether you're biologist or you study science other aspects of science so this statement is wrong however you can say it's haram you can say that's your belief and that's fine so in this statement i'm saying that look

homosexuality in the west is a practice of it's it's a it's a part of the way of life here and then i quote imam malik in saying that look imam malik is asked and he is a power within medina and there are people who may be on the outskirts of madina that he can forcefully take control of or interfere in their lives and he's asked they practice incest they marry their own sisters they marry their own mothers and daughters and they consider it fine like should we not intervene forcibly this is the question it's in the mud

of imam ali so imam malik says that's their way of life and we do not get involved so i say look this was imam malik's response to a mata incest which we clearly consider i mean most traditions in the world clearly that's not practiced in the animal kingdom for maba lukas what do you think about homosexuality and that is the way of life in these countries so it's not your place to be going around trying to intervene in other people's lifestyles now so what they've done is they've

taken that sentence where i've said that look uh to say this is unnatural is uh you know it's not scientific because if you look in it's found in all species and then they've taken my statement that imam malik said we don't interfere in incest and they've put them together and made a screenshot and then just made this go viral or in their little circles to say oh my god mufti is saying that not only should incest be allowed [Laughter] he's also alleging that this is it's everywhere in science in nature which it isn't

i mean i'm the one that actually mentioned i mentioned the studies from the book the third chimpanzee i did a review on it right so i'm thinking you know people are messaging me this and saying oh mufti did you say this and i'm saying look no i didn't say that and then they like had somebody kind of oh oh my god you're so disgusting why would you say that uh incest is people should be practicing incest and i said well

because i didn't say it but this is the you know like look at that like when people have to fabricate stuff about you to refute you it just it speaks volumes to me man that really speaks volumes um right so cool right so yeah so the these screenshots are not a true like i don't know obviously it's part of that discourse so they've taken the part where i'm saying about imam malik and they've taken the part where i'm saying

to say homosexuality is not is unnatural is inaccurate but i'm not i don't use the i'm responding so i say to to make the claim that it's unnatural is obviously it's it's unfounded in science because in nature it is present in most species so they take that and they take the statement that i'm saying imam malik said not to interfere with incest and they're putting it together and they've got a thing and they're just spreading it and my point is look why don't you just tackle my actual arguments you don't need to kind of make stuff up i thought my arguments are so simple just tackle them
