The answer

Ethics are the foundation upon which nations are built, and the Prophetic texts have emphasized their great importance, such as his (peace be upon him) saying: "I was sent only to perfect noble character," and "The best of you in character are the dearest to me and the closest to my assembly on the Day of Resurrection." A Muslim, through his ethics, can be a caller to Islam. As for the person mentioned, he represents himself, not Islam. Your anger should not lead you to seek a religion other than Islam or to say that you are not a Muslim. Deal with him through reconciliation or litigation.
