What this part covers

machinesummary, machine-written

Mufti Abu Layth says the mistranslation shows either incompetence in Arabic or deliberate misleading.

In more detail

Mufti Abu Layth concludes that there are only two explanations for the mistranslation: either the author of the post does not understand Arabic and is incompetent, or he knew and is intentionally misleading people. Mufti mocks the post at length, says this is what happens when people bluff, and closes as the recording cuts off.

Position stated
