The answer in brief
machinesummary, machine-writtenOthers do see it but fear their own group; Mufti Abu Layth says belonging to no sect lets him follow what makes sense in light of the Quran and Sunnah.
In more detail
Asked why he sees this when others do not, Mufti Abu Layth first says that other people do see it too. He then says the key is that he does not belong to any sect, and he cannot overstress the value this brings: with no allegiance to a group he needs only for something to make sense and does not fear a backlash from his own community. He says he knows many scholars who hold opinions different from their group but never express them for fear of being excommunicated, and that whether one follows a Sufi tariqa, Salafi shaykhs such as Ibn Baz and al-Albani, the Deobandi ulama or the Barelvi ulama, the problem is the inability to go against one's own group. He thanks God for letting him learn from all groups without becoming affiliated to any, so that his criterion is what makes sense in light of the Quran and Sunnah as understood through reason, as the school of Madinah did.
Question as read aloud · questioner not identifiedSome people have asked: why can I see this and other people don't see this?
Position stated
Mufti Abu Layth says that belonging to no sect frees him to follow whatever makes sense in light of the Quran and Sunnah, while scholars bound to a group fear expressing views their group rejects.
“then you have no allegiance to a group think tality all you then need is for something to make sense to you like I don't fear a group backlash against me”

talk about Islam amongst ourselves don't kind of insult throw labels try to declare each of the kaffir don't try to do all these things just be you know look I disagree with you hamdulillah I'm not convinced or I am convinced fine and that's something I think I really wanted to stress some people have asked that why is why I am why can I see this and other people don't see this this is an interesting question all right why do I see this and other people don't see this
first of all I think other people do you see this as well some people the other important point is I don't belong to a sect now I can't over stress the value that brings to a table I'm honestly telling you you know when you're not part of any sect you're not like you're not kind of the open the brain via Salafi Sufi if why you nothing like that then you have no allegiance to a group think tality all you then need is for something to make sense to you
like I don't fear a group backlash against me if I was to say something the difference with all these other scholars is they first fear their own community then I know what llahi i know many scholars who hold so many different opinions to their group but will never express them because they're so scared to to become dissed and excommunicated by their own group this is how this is the problem with sectarianism so it's not that these other Olimar can't maybe see what i say but it's that they belong
to a sect so if you are a Sufi for example part of a particular tariqa if you are Salafi following bimba's and albani and all these people or a BL Matali or if you are a do Bundy following the anima of the Obon or if you are really following only your breath' ulama the problem is you have to go against them and that people cannot do that is the the biggest issue so this is something that I'm havin Dalila that you know I am so grateful to Allah that he allowed me gave me the guidance and
the insight to learn from all groups but to never become affiliated with a group and that way I can just now it's all about just making sense to me if this group says something it makes sense alhamdulillah allenbury see you know if it's in light with the Quran Sunnah as understood through reason as the school of other Medina have photos right now okay so let's take a look at this discussion first of all many Muslims do have this understanding that the world is getting bad and this morbid outlook and I love what Imams 8th Circuit said
