Is he an infidel who says: "We Muslims, nothing remains of our Islam but the name only," in response to a question about the stability of the West and the absence of dictatorships and demonstrations there?

One who says "people are ruined" does not commit disbelief if his intention is to show the weakness and negligence of Muslims, while there is still a group upholding the truth. The speaker should think well of Muslims and be mindful of the Prophet's saying, "Whoever says 'people are ruined,' he is the one who ruins them." This is intended for someone who says it out of fault-finding and disdain for people, preferring himself. However, if it is said out of sorrow for what he sees in their religious affairs, then there is no harm in it.
