Thanks for being honest. Do you think it is possible to interpret the
hadith in a way which doesn't have the features you find problematic?
For example, is it possible that the young people talked about have
some other feature or characteristic not mentioned in the hadith which
is the real reason why they would be killed? What I mean is, could it
be that there is a very specific group of people who really are/were
especially dangerous to the faith for reasons which aren't actually
mentioned in the hadith, but this group is only described by the
hadith.
Analagously to how in hadith it says the Dajjal will be one-eyed. That
doesn't mean all one eyed people are the Dajjal.
