What this part covers
machinesummary, machine-writtenMufti Abu Layth says he has always supported Palestine and only argued for safe passage for its people, that 'exile' was a slip of the tongue, and that those calling him a non-Muslim and invading his home are not following Islam.
In more detail
Mufti Abu Layth says he has always been pro-Palestine, with posts condemning Israel going back to 2014, and that clips of him have been cut and pasted to claim otherwise. He says what he actually said is that no country is helping the Palestinians while a genocide takes place, and that if Israel will not allow a separate state it should at least let them leave with their lives, as hijrah, citing the Prophet's own departure from Makkah. He admits he once used the word 'exile', calls that a slip of the tongue in a two- to three-hour live stream and says his other clips say migration or hijrah. He compares the men who entered his home and frightened his young daughter to the Israeli army entering Palestinian homes, denies he has ever spoken against Masjid al-Aqsa, and rejects claims that he is not a Muslim, saying he has testified to faith all his life, has memorised the Quran and many hadith, and has defended the Prophet's honour against accusations. He cites a report that one Muslim's blood is more valuable than the Kaaba to argue for safe passage for Palestinians, repeats that Israel is a terrorist state, and closes by saying only Allah can judge him and will take those responsible to task.
