How can the majority be wrong?
Sunnis usually make a plea to say that it is impossible for the majority of Muslims to be wrong. The irony regarding this level of reasoning is that they have no problem saying that the billions of Christians, Jews, Hindus, etc. are wrong. They typically rebut by saying that they are different because they are “Muslims” and therefore cannot be wrong. As if simply calling oneself a Muslim puts someone in the right. And since they self-proclaimed themselves as believers, they arrogantly cite the following verse to show that followers of the Quran are commanded to follow the believer’s way, which they imply is their way.
4:115 As for him who opposes the messenger, after the guidance has been pointed out to him, and follows other than the believers’ way, we will direct him in the direction he has chosen, and commit him to Hell; what a miserable destiny!
