I’m an ex-Muslim who fully supports rational interpretations of Islam; one thing I notice is that with the likes of Mohammed Hijab its constantly syllogistic propositional arguments with pompous mannerisms and evangelical Quran thumping, and when Hamza Yusuf engages Jordan Peterson  or Omar Suleiman engages Lex Fridman, it’s human beings relating to each other as they rationalize issues, it’s more balanced and we actually get somewhere with regards to understanding each other. The likes of the Dawah crowd though are only interested in converting you, let’s be real, and Islam can get dogmatic and literalist and Muslims need to do more to counter the Athari creed and Salafi manhaj and other traditionalist versions of Islam that are like them.,(reply>), Yeah I’m familiar with Abu Layth, Javad Hashmi, some of the perrenial philosophers like Seyyed Hossein Nasr.,(reply>), The athari/Hanbali is a traditional strand of Sunni Islam <br><br>Najdi/salami/wahabism is a rebranded flavourism of the athari school but there are many non salafi athari such as hatem el hajj or Yusuf as sadiq or Omar sulieman , unfortunately due to the petro najdi dawah has a near monopoly on the atharism,(reply>), He's both on YouTube and Instagram,(reply>), Check Mufti Abu Layth, he shares similar opinions
