The False Religious

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

People who are “religious”, but will not talk to women because they are not wearing the hijab, are not religious.  If they do not talk to other Muslims because they do not pray, or because they have children out of wedlock, or because they have substance abuse issues, or because they have a lifestyle deemed unIslamic, then these people are not religious Muslims. 

We should not listen to them when they talk about Muslim unity or the ummah or about liberating Palestine, or da’wah, or whatever pet fancy these people have.  There is nothing of worth with such people, and they are the cause of people leaving religion.  They bar others from the houses of God with their judgement, and disapproval, more effectively that Satan.  They are the hypocrites who wear the face of Islam, but have nothing of its substance.  We should stay as far from them as we would Satan itself.
