Full disclosure: I do not condone what the Girls of MN done in their akhlaaq in the event. More supervision needs to be placed in these events.
but on the subject of responsibility and/or blame its split between the Masjid and the team representing Abu Taymiyyah.
I blame Abu Taymiyyah's team partially for the whole debacle. They picked a masjid to host him knowing its capacity limit is no more than 300-500 max
Not a convention or hall. And I blame the masjid for hosting him knowing they don't have the resources and support to deal with high volume of people.
Masjid Abubakar has hosted many notable shuyookh from around the world, I even witnessed
Yusuf Estes there as a youngin when I visited MN. Abu Taymiyyah is different to these guys because of his phenomenon of large youth audience from social media and his home base in UK circles. Hence why you seen only kids- early 20s pull up to him.
btw, Its nearing the end when people only come to see a speaker/sheikh for his status and not his message
10000% in Australia, when big sheikhs come, they host it in convention centres and make it a ticketed even.
But this man and his team have the audacity to tweet this…
