Kind of interesting to see this happening in the UK as well. Similar to all of the Russian bots on Facebook targeting the US.

I'm not sure "devout" is the right adjective. Maybe tack on "self-described" or "incredibly ignorant."
Definitely self-described at most.
He runs other accounts dedicated to sharing Quran verses and Islamic teachings. One features the Kaaba holy site in Mecca as its profile picture. He uses the title “Hafiz” before his name, an honorific reserved for those who have memorised the entire Quran.
That's a testable assertion that was untested, so using that name for one account while spreading hate on another makes me very disinclined to think "oh these are his real beliefs."
The title says it is a devout Muslim man but nothing in the article seems to confirm it. Not even that he is a Muslim. Just that he claims to only speak Urdu which is an obvious lie.
He understands it just fine.
The religious will never let their religion get in the way when it comes to filling their own pockets.
Surah 104. Al-Humazah
Woe to every slanderer backbiter.
Who gathers wealth and counts it over.
Thinking that his wealth has made him immortal.
By no means. He will be thrown into the Crusher.
I know it's basically impossible to say someone isn't in a religion (much to the chagrin of many a devout and reasonable religious person), but this surah is so specifically against this guy in particular.
Once again Western media reminds me the West doesn't understand belief/religion. It's one or the other. 🤷
