A message to the scholars of sultans and those who betrayed the trust of knowledge: (Whoever holds believers accountable for sins, while he does not hold disbelievers and hypocrites accountable for their disbelief and hypocrisy, but perhaps praises and glorifies them, demonstrates that he is among the most ignorant and unjust of people, unless his ignorance and injustice lead him to disbelief and hypocrisy) (Ibn Taymiyyah in Minhaj As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah 4/373-374)
