RE: “8-10 Abuses a Day Is His Right”: When Religion Becomes a Weapon Online

Tariq Masood and every other like him i s nothing but a jahil

Oopsie, you straight-up called him "JAHIL"! Meanwhile, I have quite a few people on my WhatsApp contact list who openly support him. I'm glad he got exposed, though. His followers still seem blind to what's going on.

Similarly, if you're aware, Maulana Tariq Jameel has also been exposed for several things, but that's a discussion for another day.

Long story short, back when I was in 10th grade, a friend and I did an exercise. We picked 10 random Ayat and Hadith that he had quoted and checked them against their original context. We found that the way he explained them often changed their actual meaning.

A few years later, he was confronted over similar practices, and his response was that he was a social media influencer, not a certified Mufti, so people were responsible for choosing to follow him.

You can try the same exercise yourself. Pick a few random Ayat and Hadith quoted by any speaker and read them in their original context. It's quite an eye-opener.

Although, I personally don't debate with Maulana Tariq Jameel's followers anymore. It just takes too much time and energy.
