Imam Ahmed Ibn Hanbal رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ said :-
The People of Opinion (Ahl al-Ra'y) and Analogy (Qiyās): They call the companions of the Sunnah "upstarts" (nābitah). And lied—did the people of opinion, the enemies of Allah. Rather, they themselves are the upstarts (nābitah) who abandoned the narration of the Messenger ﷺ and his Hadith, spoke by personal opinion, measured the religion using juristic preference (istiḥsān), and ruled in opposition to the Book. They are the companions of innovation, ignorant misleaders, seekers of the worldly life through lies and slander.
May Allah have mercy on a servant who speaks with truth, follows the prophetic narrations (al-Athar), clings to the Sunnah, emulates the righteous, avoids the people of innovations, and abandons sitting and conversing with them—seeking thereby closeness to Allah and the glorification of His religion. Our success is only through Allah. End Quote

يؤسفني إني مكس من ذنوب الصالحين وصلاح المذنبين لاني بنفس الدرجة الي اندفع فيها للدنيا والأغاني والرذيلة أنا مندفعة للدين والقرآن وتفسيراته ومعانيه بكل مره اتأمل فيها آية قرانية وانبهر من المعنى الاقيني بعد ساعتين اتآمل كلمات أغنية ومنبهرة من المعنى - آسفة يارب طمعانه بالأثنين

Ugh 😪
Nothing Pedo or sexual about this. The most you can is that it's homoerotic/homosensual.
But this was a normal expression of platonic love in the ancient Near East. Read this well: explicit mouth-to-mouth or lip kissing as an expression of maternal, paternal, or grandfatherly affection toward young children was a thing in the ancient Near East.
You also find this in the pre Victorian West. The film Barry Lyndon shows this for example, etc etc.
Our way of doing things is not the only way of doing things. Your calling into the fallacy of presentism.
Indeed, such expressions were common before the Great Masculine Renunciation and they persisted in the Middle East into the 20th century.
And please look up the Kiss of Peace / Holy Kiss in classical Christianity.

No one cares now why the Muslims fell behind. It is so 2000s. The good news is that everyone is going to fall behind. Real soon. And when that happens, the fallen behind for a long time, like the Muslims, will have a real comparative advantage. And that’s how you know that God loves you because He will bring all these kafirs down for you so you have a fighting chance. The Real Chosen People.
Is it Orientalist to ask why the Muslim world fell behind?

It examines Muslim societies' early golden age and current underdevelopment—and how Edward Said's important book is now used to dismiss critical analysis.
