Others are against human law, absolute liberty, equality among Muslims and non-Muslims, secularism, widespread speech freedom, religious freedom and human legislation, liberty, equality, human in western discourse. Fardid is one of the persons that opposed the west and liberalism aspects with anti-west perspective and casual approach, presented some opinion.
