The Origins Of Political Islam: The Ways Of The Salafi (A Response To Western Imperialism)

from The Darkened Hour · host adamfitzgerald

In this episode i discuss how the Salafi/Wahhabi ideology which had manifested into a reactive, political Islamic response to Western foreign policy which is often dictated thru Israeli-Gulf lobbyists and their agendas for the Middle East. The responses from terrorist groups led by the Salafi such as the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings, 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and most infamously the September 11th 2001 attacks are often visited on the United States. Yet the West continues to show unwavering support to the Saudi Kingdom which propagates the Wahhabi-Salafi faith. I also quote from those who wage ‘defensive jihad”, which comes from a preemptive or offensive attack, commissioned from by a political authority. These people ill be commonly know as "takfiri", or those who condemn other Muslims as apostates. In this case that authority comes from “uncommission” self appointed caliphs (rulers), not recognized overall by the ruling Islamic “ulema” or from the grand imam of the Al-Azhar Mosque and Al-Azhar University. The episode will delve into how the psychological mindsets of the more nefarious Salafi-Wahhabi individuals in world history and how they operate such as Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Hanbal, to Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahab, Hassan al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb to Ayman al-Zawahiri, Muhmmad Abd al-Salam Faraj, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Osama Bin Laden In short, the essence of true Islam has been "corrupted", while being completely abrogated, by those i mention above in regards to the spiritual meanings from Muhammad and the purity of Dawah (inviting one to Islam). How does the West finally put an end to Salafi terrorism, while at the same time, revitalizes it with their disastrous foreign policy which undermines the Arab world?
