How is his premise wrong? If anything, he's using your premise to demonstrate the incoherency of your argument. Honest question - are you a native English speaker?

Your're following the Maliki madh-hab because, in your own words, "I am like why would Allah punish me for wanting to speak to Him in my language.... "!

Allah is able to do all things - that's a fact. We are servants; we have no choice but to obey. Allah does not have needs nor motives in commanding or prohibiting anything. Again, that's a fundamental principle of 'aqidah. The only way a madh-hab would be more reasonable than another would be based on its principles in deriving rulings as well as, perhaps, its stage of development. Whatever you think Allah would/should do is utterly irrelevant, to put it in the politest of terms.

If Allah willed, he could kill us all. Dhulm is relative.

Another honest question - are you ash'ari?
1) I am not going to sit up here and argue with you about why I choose to follow the Maliki madhab... How can you convince me, that I choose to follow the Maliki madhab based on what abdulwahhab thinks about me, based on what I said???? His explanation of my statement is correct, but my explanation of my statement is incorrect... That is insane....

I know why I choose to follow the Maliki madhab...

2) There is no Quranic verse or hadith that I am aware of which states that Allah will punish me because I prayed to Him in my language while in sujud....

Yes it is logically possible that He could punish me.... (The Ashari position) But for me, it is inconceivable that He would punish me because I spoke to Him in my language... If there aren't any direct text indicating others wise... then I am free to believe that.... Yes it is true that Allah doesn't have to follow me or what I believe...

There are some rulings in Islam that I question... And it is not because Allah and His Messenger said it, it is because some scholar said it.... And the scholars are not protected from error... And I have a right as a believer to question anything that the scholars put forth... Allah has given us that right... And if you want me to present proofs for that I will...

I question the concept of ijma.... There isn't an ijma on the meaning of ijma... But I am obligated to follow it... (red flags go up for me regarding that)

And Allah knows best.
