If you wrote a poem to your wife, and 100 years after your death it somehow was published in another language as your ode to all women everywhere, or even worse, to gay men, how would that obscure the original context and meaning?

(sorry this is not relevant to the thread but this is just like what has happened with Mevlana Rumi's (ra) Mathnavi; that which he wrote in love of Allah has been resold as heresy and carnal poetry and as a result many Muslims are getting the wrong impression about him)

we may not know exactly what Ibn Rushd meant in every one of his statements,

but at the end of the day there is enough there to know that he was off track from mainstream Ahlus Sunnah wa Jamaat in Aqeedah at least at the time he was writing, wouldn't you agree?
