Not only ridicule but will point out that what you're doing here puts you outside the fold of Islam:
The Muslims' singling out of the hypocrites and their renunciation of them are both supported by the Prophet's own example. Ibn al-Qayyim observes that: "the Prophet said that we should take them at face value,
leave Allah to deal with what they hide, but confront them with knowledge and truth.
Allah told him to oppose them and to be stern with them, but to try to
appeal to their better judgement. He was forbidden from praying at their funerals and from visiting their graves. Allah has said that whatever he did He would not forgive them"341.
We have already seen how the most prominent features of their behaviour are their fondness for the disbelievers, their distaste for Islam and their abandonment of the Muslims. In fact, Allah made this clear in the revelation warning the Muslims to be careful and to keep away from them. In Surah At-Tawbah we were warned to oppose them and to meet them sternly. Sternness towards them would
itself be a kind of Jihad: Allah says:
339 Al-Ma'idah: 59-60.
340 Al-Ma'idah: 68.
341 Zad al-Ma'ad: (Vol. 3/161).
O Prophet! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be stern towards them. Their resting place is Hell, and worst indeed is that destination 342
These same words also appear in Surah At-Tahrim, verse 9. Surah At-Tawbah exposed them completely and has even been called, Al-Faadihah, the exposure. Said ibn Jubair reports, in Sahih
al-Bukhari, that he had asked Ibn Abbas about this Surah. He said that it was the one that exposed everyone, it kept coming, and coming until they thought that none of them would be left without having been mentioned in it.343
In Surah an-Nisa' Allah says:
They say: "We are obedient,", but when they leave you (Muhammad), a party of them spend all night planning something other than what you say. But Allah records their nightly (plots). So oppose them and put your trust in Allah, and Allah is Ever All-Sufficient as a Disposer of affairs.344
As for the prohibition of attending their funerals or visiting their graves, Allah says in
Surah At-Tawbah:
And never pray for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor visit his grave. Surely they disbelieved
in Allah and His Messenger, and died while they were Faasiqun.345
Ibn Kathir said: "This is a general rule which applies to all whose hypocrisy is known, even though it was actually revealed on account of Abdullah ibn Ubay, the leader of the hypocrites, at
Madinah"346.
The hypocrites excuse for not participating in Jihad was not accepted and so their participation cannot again be permitted. Allah it says:
And if Allah brings you back to a group of them (the hypocrites), and they ask your permission to
go out (to fight), say: "Never shall you go out with me, nor fight an enemy with me; you agreed to
sit inactive on the first occasion, so sit with those who lag behind".347
And again in the same Surah, Allah says:
342 At-Tawbah: 73.
343 Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8/629, Hadith no. 4882, "The Book of Tafsir", Tafsir Surah al-Hashr.
344 An-Nisa': 81.
345 At-Tawbah: 84.
346 Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Vol.4/132.
347 At-Tawbah: 83.
* Rijsun: That is, Najasun (impure). Impure because of their evil deeds.
They (the hypocrites) will present their excuses to you (Muslims), when you return to them. Say (O Muhammad): Present no excuses, we shall not believe you. Allah has already informed us of the news
concerning you. Allah and His Messenger will observe your deeds. In the end you will be brought back to the All- Knower of the Unseen and the Seen, then He will inform you of what you used to do. They will swear by Allah to you (Muslims) when you return to them, that you may turn away from
them. So turn away from them. Surely, they are Rijsun*, and Hell is their dwelling place, a recompense for that which they used to earn. They (the hypocrites) swear to you (Muslims) that you
may be pleased with them, but if you are pleased with them, certainly Allah is not pleased with the people who are Al-Faasiqun.348
As for asking Allah to forgive them, Allah says,
Whether you (Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask not forgiveness for them, yet even if you ask for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will not forgive them; because they have
disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger and Allah guides not those who are Faasiqun.349
And again in the Surah Al-Munaafiqun, Allah says:
And when it is said to them: "Come, so that the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness from Allah for you", they turn aside their heads, and you can see them turning their faces away in pride. It does not matter, whether you (Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites) or ask not forgiveness for them, Allah will not forgive them. Verily, Allah guides not those who are
Faasiqun. 350
348 At-Tawbah: 94-96.
349 At-Tawbah: 80.
350 AI-Munaafiqun: 5-6.

I hope you re-examine your beliefs and your religion and why you subscribed. It is a package deal, there's no sepration of church and state, least of which when it comes to Daar Al-harb and Daar Al'Islam even if the Muslims are a minority in a corrupt majority, let alone who is actively seeking foreign forces to come all the while burying his head in the sand to the atrocities they commit.
If you want a further discussion I suggest you deal with the fact and not my person. Your feelings about the matter which are so manifestly seething in my CP should remain in the confines of your own mind.
best,
