Fourth Point: Democratic Islamists (1)
This topic is one of the broadest topics under the accusation, because this is divided into general and specific ones. And from amongst it is not making Takfeer on the Tawagheet (leaders of disbelief, non-Muslim rulers) and what is meant by them is the democrat Islamists. And the second part of it is over making supplications for them and describing them to be the heroes of the Ummah! (2)
For example, Adnani says in the statement "This was not our methodology nor will it ever be" - "The Taghout of Ikhwan (the Muslim Brotherhood) who is waging war against the Mujahideen and ruling by other than the Shareeah of the Most Merciful Lord, prayers are made for him, and he is treated with kindness and described as the 'hope of the Ummah and one of its heroes' ... . Oh Lord, ask them why did they not show the ugly face of the killers of the monotheists in Sinai? Why did they not provoke the people to fight against them? Why are they praising their Taghouth and offering prayers for them?!"
Adnani here tried to pluck the statement out of its context! And that is for him to make the people falsely think that Dr. Ayman Al Zawahiri made supplications for Dr. Mohammed Morsi saying that he is one of the heroes of the Ummah in this manner unrestrictedly without stating conditions for it!
Dr. Ayman Al Zawahiri says in "Liberation from the circle of futility and failure" in his message to Dr. Mohammed Mursi as follows:
"And you are today in under a great test. You either cling to the truth without wavering or faltering or flittering, and you call for the rule of the Shareeah plainly and clearly, and you reject the corrupt judiciary and the secular laws and constitution, and you insist on liberating every inch of the occupied lands of Islam and you refuse to recognize any treaty or agreement containing compromises over it, and you make a covenant with your Lord that you will proclaim the truth which His Shareeah has made obligatory on you and that you will not compromise even a least bit of it. Then at that point, I will give you the glad tidings that you will be one of the heroes of this Ummah, and one of its prominent symbols, and its great leaders, and you will rally the Ummah in Egypt and in the world behind you in its battle against its enemies".
(1) ISIS considers not making Takfeer on these Islamists to be a deviation! And it has come in its official magazine Dabiq (page 20) which says - "Will Haris An Nadhari disobey his leader whom he defended by claiming that he has not deviated?!" Then they clarified in the footnote this deviation and said "Al Zawahiri does not make Takfeer on the submissive parliamentarians nor on the Raafidha, the Majoos".
(2) Most of the time the person who does not apply the Islamic Shareeah would be labeled as a "Taghout" by the Jihadi groups by which they mean that he is a disbelieving Kaafir, because not ruling by the Shareeah is an act of Kufr. So some of the Islamists reached authority but were not able to rule by the Shareeah, and so the Jihadis became divided in regards to their stance on this. Some of them would immediately declare them to be Kaafirs while the others would say that they are not to be considered as Kaafirs. And we have in the beginning of this book mentioned that there is a difference between the two groups. One group would immediately make Takfeer while the other group would consider excusing the individual who fell into Kufr and they would not make Takfeer on him because he was either ignorant or had a wrong concept etc.
