**Topics:** Social media; The Mufti and the channel

**Summary (not a quotation; machine-made, unchecked):** Mufti Abu Layth dismisses as a crazy conspiracy theory the claim that he, Yasir Qadhi or Mohammed Hijab is behind a social media preacher he likes.

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth says that a social media preacher he calls 'Bro', whom he likes and gets on with, has been accused of not producing his own knowledge, with people asking who is behind him. Mufti shows a post asking whether the preacher is a puppet and naming Yasir Qadhi, Mohammed Hijab and Mufti Abu Layth himself as the people who might be behind him. He says he was surprised, given how different their views are, and calls the conspiracy theories in the Muslim scene crazy. He jokes that the three would make an interesting trio before moving on to the next question.
