The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says his account was analysis, not a 'side', and renews his standing invitation to the commentator to come on Mind Trap.

In more detail

A chat message tells Mufti Abu Layth to invite a commentator he calls 'Danny Boy' to talk about Islamic history, since it is unfair to hear only his side. Mufti replies that what he gave was his analysis of what was going on in Islamic history, not his side of it. He says he has invited the commentator many times, jokes at his expense, and repeats the invitation to discuss any topic on Mind Trap.

Question as read aloud · questioner not identified
You should invite [the commentator] to talk about Islamic history. It's just not fair to hear your side and not the other.

Aa your side. My side. [laughter] [gasps] My side. Your side. Acha chaa. [laughter] Well, I don't think this is my side of Islamic history. This may be my analysis on what was going on in Islamic history, but this is not my side of Islamic [laughter] history.

And Danny Boy is more than welcome to come anytime he wants. I have invited Danny Boy on many an occasy an occasion. If I can find it right here. [laughter] The great the genius Danny Boy. Danny Boy mentally challenge my boy mental boy. [laughter] So I have invited Danny Boy on many an occasion.
