What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth rejects being called a probable kafir and apostate by Shadee Elmasry and others, says no pressure can remove him from Islam, and calls the readiness to throw people out of Islam a god complex.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says he heard Shadee Elmasry, among a few other scholars, and that he is very disappointed in their approach, because they outright called him a kafir or a 'probable kafir' and a probable apostate, which he mocks with a Carlsberg joke and the phrase 'this ain't your dad's deen'. He recites an Urdu couplet he attributes to Akbar Allahabadi to the effect that those who would eradicate him from Islam cannot do so, and says no amount of pressure will choke him out of Islam: he is here to stay. He calls the attitude of declaring people apostates a god complex, as if its holders sat on a divine throne throwing people out of Islam, and says shame on them for speaking to others this way. He repeats that being on this faith is by the grace of God and has nothing to do with them.
