**Topics:** Guest conversations; Extremism, crime and justice

## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth thanks the guest and asks how people can reach him. The guest declines to give his phone number, mentions his email and the 19.org website, and proposes Zoom sessions and joint conference panels with Sunni and Shia brothers to discuss these matters. He says he has no animosity towards Sunnis or Shias because of their religion, and Mufti confirms that their earlier private conversations were loving and without hostility. The guest says he debates without mercy because the truth matters but would defend the rights of his greatest opponent if unjustly treated, since he wants to live in peace with everyone while discussing with passion, as long as no one threatens, kills or falsely accuses another; all children of Adam are brothers who can learn even from the bonobo apes. He recommends his speeches at the British Parliament and the European Parliament and an interview with a Kurdish television channel refuting ISIS, which Mufti says viewers can find on YouTube.
