**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth mocks a commentator's post calling female Islamic Studies academics 'snarling witches', and says men who block women's education are insecure.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth reads a message sent to the Telegram group of the commentator he calls 'Danny Boy', which he says has about 3,000 subscribers: a weekly reminder that Muslim academics in Islamic Studies are overwhelmingly trash, that the few who are not apostates are heretics, that they live sad lives because of underpaid PhD years and hatred of the traditional family, and that most are alone and unmarriageable, especially the females, who are mostly 'snarling witches'. Mufti mocks the post, refers to his earlier video about the commentator's wife praying in a wardrobe, and stresses that this is a public announcement, not a leak. He says he does not know why the commentator hates on women and speculates that such hatred usually comes from rejection projected onto all women. Responding to a chat remark that some Pakistani men do not allow women education either, he says anyone who denies education to someone who wants it is insecure and is the problem himself. Asked whether he will ever grow his beard, he points to a little stubble.
