This is exactly why AI-generated religious content is becoming such a problem online. It removes nuance and turns complex beliefs into ragebait or stereotypes for clicks

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.

Weird article.
