What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mohammed Hijab is intelligent, articulate and shows maturity of thought, but deliberately shouting at and dominating opponents on the claim that Allah commands harshness towards those who challenge Islam is, if that is what he meant, nonsensical and unacceptable.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth gives his thoughts on Mohammed Hijab and the dawah scene he belongs to, saying first that his opinion may change and that he does not follow him closely. His present assessment is that Hijab is intelligent, articulate, clearly passionate and shows a maturity of thought. He then describes a clip he was sent in which Hijab, asked about shouting at and speaking down to atheist and Christian interlocutors in recent dialogues, said he does so on purpose because Allah says believers should be harsh against those who challenge Islam and dominate them. Mufti says he is trying to give Hijab an exit in case he did not mean it that way, but that if that is what he meant it is utterly nonsensical and unacceptable, and that it is not true that Allah teaches this.

how many jobs routine is fight no you know my thoughts on Mohammed a job and that kind of Dawa scene is that you see I to be fair I'm to be fair like if I try to be fair at this moment in time I don't know whether my opinion will change as it often does right so but in this moment in time my assessment of people like Mohammed hijab is that you know he is very you know he's very

intelligent he's articulate can express himself he's obviously got a passion obviously why else is he doing all of this so it's taking a lot of the boxes and to be fair I I think I think and I don't follow him too closely you see so this is the I could be wrong here so if if I'm caught out on this there's a you know disclaimer I think he has a level you know like he has maturity of thought although recently I saw a clip of his way he said something about I'm you know

I I decide to be more angry with my opponents on purpose so I shout at them and I kind of dominate them in the like so this is with his eighth he's had a few recent atheist or I think mainly atheist maybe they were Christian as well kind of dialogues and he's been quite aggressive in some of them you know like he started shouting raising his voice you know speaking down at the person and there's somebody sent me a clip of his we he's asked why you know is this something you're aware of is

this a reaction what what is this and he said you know I do this purposely because I because Allah says that we should be harsh against the Crafar those who are challenging Islam we should dominate them and harsh and if if that's what he meant you see by that I mean I'm just trying to you know maybe he's got an he didn't mean it I'm trying to give some kind of an exit here but if that's what he meant that is utterly nonsensical

and unacceptable that's not true that Allah teaches us that for example we can met because he said he uses the verse of the Quran that you will never find those who believe in a line is messenger you were the Lavina Cafaro that they now he said that they are friends now you word is from the verb the third form of Allah which is a reciprocal a kind of way you have another person involved and it's to do from the word would about love that you are kind of expressing this overwhelming
