Question:
There is a man who claims to be a scholar and appears frequently on satellite channels. He said, in the context of his remarks, that he praises Israel regarding its elections. This speaker wished that the integrity of elections in Israel existed in Arab countries. He stated that one of the leaders obtained a percentage of ninety-nine percent. This man then said, "If Allah had offered Himself to His creation, He would not have obtained this percentage." What is your opinion?

Answer:
This is empty talk and exaggeration, and may Allah protect us from it. It is bad manners toward Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This indicates the mentality of this man and that he is frivolous. We ask Allah for well-being. He must repent to Allah and leave such ugly words. Yes. The Muslim Arabs are well, praise be to Allah. The Muslims are well. And the Jews, no matter what they do, are monkeys and pigs; there is no good in them no matter what they do. They are the enemies of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for the Muslims, even if there is shortcoming or deficiency among them, there is much good in them, praise be to Allah. Yes.
