Condemning "terrorism" from under the armpits of terrorists!

How provocative it is to see the power usurpers in the Islamic world want to "use" religion, ride it, and exploit it in their war on "terrorism"! And how provocative it is to see - in contrast - some figures, some of them "scholars," who release religion to be ridden by the "rulers," grant them legitimacy, stand in their ranks, and condemn "terrorism" from under their armpits (plural of armpit)! When religion is disrespected in Muslim lands, atheism is spread in universities, the country is opened to plunder by Zionist, Jewish, and Masonic societies, and elementary school students are raised to glorify the "sultan" more than Allah the Almighty! And the laws stipulate a harsher punishment for those who mention the "sanctity" of the sultan in a bad way than for those who insult Allah the Almighty, and many ignorant and clownish individuals ascend many pulpits to make people despise religion and its rituals!... Then, after all that, they say to religion: "Come, sing a song with us that is specifically about terrorism"! These people are nothing but as depicted by Sayyid Qutb, may Allah have mercy on him: they want religion to be like a servant who stays in the servants' quarters, so that when his master claps, he comes, kisses the ground before him, receives orders, and executes them, then retreats behind the door waiting for another clap!!! What a horrible image! And how degrading it is! And how ugly it is that some speakers accept this role, ignore all these royal crimes, stand behind the "masters," wear the uniform of war with them, and grant them legitimacy, and their excuses are ready: 1. Isn't what we fight with them an actual extremism that Islam rejects? And are they fighting this "extremism" to replace it with true moderate Islam or "America's" Islam?! 2. Aren't those we fight with have distorted religion? If those have distorted religion, these have completely lost it! And they have made fighting under the banner of the international system a jihad for the sake of Allah! It's either victory or marriage to the houris and intercession for seventy! 3. We want to show our innocence from extremism and takfir, so showing innocence from protecting disbelief is more important! 4. We don't want our call to be blocked by a wretched call whose tax is to dress the nation in its decisive issues! A call whose blessing is crushed and whose words are dead! 5. Those killed souls without right, and these conspired to kill, besiege, imprison, and displace people! And whoever survived all of this, they kill him spiritually and distort him psychologically and intellectually with their methods and media, which is worse than taking a life! The matter is simply: psychological corruption! And weakness that makes the crimes of the strong - which people have grown accustomed to and have become accustomed to them - minor mistakes they are shyly reprimanded for, while their permission for their people to live is a favor from them that they are grateful for! My speech here is not about those who criticize the practices that distort religion in reality and exonerate Islam from them, but this is an explanation we draw closer to Allah with. But when you condemn a deviation while under the armpit of the oppressor, reconciled with him, speaking from his platforms, and avoiding exposing his nakedness, the message you convey to people is: this oppressor is less deviant and lighter in crime! If these people speak, they will not deter from extremism, but they will give it more "legitimacy" in the eyes of the oppressed youth, after they have legitimized darkness in the eyes of the misguided, so let them be silent!
