Q: Some of the people say that you all are extremely hard when the different groups are mentioned but when the killing of Muslims are mentioned your tongues pass over this issue in a gentle way, so how do we respond to this?
Sheikh Ibrahim: Firstly, we have mentioned many times to you, that the people of the Sunnah advise the people and make clear to the people their religion.
And Ahlus Sunnah, those who adhere to the Sunnah, we ask Allah that He makes us and you from them; they have deep concern and protectiveness about their religion and their Aqeedah and they have deep concern and protectiveness about the blood of the Muslims.
By Allah, you will not find any Muslim despite whatever shortcomings he may have, you will not find any Muslim except that he will become angry over the killing of Muslims and he will be affected by the killing of Muslims.
Therefore the claim that Ahlus Sunnah does not become angry nor come to the aid of their brothers is not correct.
But Ahlus Sunnah handles the affair with the proper treatment and not by instigating the people. It is not from concern over the blood of the Muslims, that when we hear the news of the Muslims blood being spilled that we climb the pulpit and go into convulsions in front of the people and say, We have been patient, now what are we going to do? What have we put forth; and so by this he stirs up the people.
Is this from advice to the Muslims? What is it that he desires from this uproar? What does he desire from this uproar when he is in a Masjid where the majority of the people are from the common people who do not have any strength or might to do act upon his speech?
I swear by Allah the Muslims will not benefit from this speech rather it only stirs up trials and tribulations.
