Consequently, they consider neither evidence nor legal reasoning; rather, they are as utterly removed from understanding the religion as a hair drawn out of dough.

When one of them—such as al-Mūsawī or another—authors a book on juristic disagreement and legal theory, then, if the issue is disputed among the scholars, they adopt the argument of whoever agrees with them, cite the proofs cited by those scholars, and answer opposing arguments with the answers given by those scholars. An ignorant person among them (1) then imagines that the author has composed a major work on juristic disagreement, jurisprudence, or legal theory (2), unaware that most of it has been borrowed from the words of the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah, whom the author deems unbelievers and treats as enemies. As for what is uniquely their own, it is not worth the ink used to write it, for ink is beneficial and does no harm, whereas this is harmful and brings no benefit. If, however, it is an issue [on which] they stand alone (3), they rely upon those three principles, whose ignorance and misguidance are plain to see.

The same applies to their discourse on the fundamentals of religion, asceticism, heart-softening exhortations, acts of worship, supplications, and other such matters.

Likewise, if you examine whatever worship and praiseworthy character they possess, you will find it to be only a portion of what is found among the majority of Muslims.
