Thanks for the tweet. I'll address three points:
1. Locke justified the genocide and ethnic cleansing of native Americans because according to his labour theory, only those people who can cultivate a land have the right to ownership. [1]

2. In the podcast, I didn't mention Mill's understanding of property rights. However, I did mention both Locke and Mill together because they are both important philosophers in the liberal traditions. Not because they had a similar view when it comes to property rights.

I, in fact, don't know about Mill's property rights.
3. As for the Mu'tazilla, I admit the mistake. They didn't reject the entire hadith corpus but they were extremely sceptical of hadiths. I personally haven't read enough about the beliefs and doctrines of the Mu'tazilla.

@SimsimMaturidi @Abdulla82462940 and other brothers are in a better position to talk about this topic than me.
