Interesting breakdown of Islamic 'sects' and the genesis thereof.
...Islam is similar to Judaism in the
importance it gives to legal interpretation. ... Unlike Christianity in the West, where divisive debates
often have focused on theological doctrines, in Islam the most important
schools of thought reflect differences in jurisprudence. There are four
main schools of law for Sunnis (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i, and Hanbali
schools) and one for Shi’ites (Ja‘fari). The main distinctions between
these schools lie in divergent opinions about authoritative sources or
roots of law. All accept the Qur’an and the sunnah (Muhammad’s example)
as foundational but differ on the importance of consensus in collective
scholarly reasoning (ijma) and individual analogical reasoning (qiyas). The most conservative school, Hanbali, tends to emphasize the Qur’an and sunna and is suspicious of ijma and qiyas, while the most liberal, Hanafi, tends to emphasize qiyas and individual opinion....
OK so far? Good. Here's more.
...Wahhabi and Salafi thought in their modern expression derive from
Islamic jurist-theologians Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 1328) and Muhammad Abd
al-Wahhab (d. 1792). They are both renowned students and teachers of
the Hanbali school of law. Salafi teaching upholds the first three
generations of Muslim history (salaf) as sacrosanct alongside
the prophetic example. Not all Salafis are Wahhabis. The latter brand
any practice or teaching later than the third century of Islam (salaf) as satanic innovation (bida‘).
Wahhabism is the most literalist and iconoclastic branch of Hanbalism,
which itself is the most conservative of the four main schools. For
instance, while other Muslims might urge abstention from alcohol,
Wahhabis also prohibit stimulants, including tobacco. Not only is modest
dress prescribed but also the type of clothing that should be worn,
especially by women (a black abaya, covering all but the eyes
and hands). Religious education includes training in the use of weapons.
Wahhabism emphasizes the importance of avoiding non-Islamic cultural
practices and non-Muslim fraternity on the grounds that the sunna and
the central importance of Muhammad as exemplar forbid imitating
non-Muslims. Wahhabi scholars have warned against taking non-Muslims as
friends and against smiling at or even wishing them well on their
holidays....
And, you guessed it, the Muzzie terrorists are Wahhabi.
Which also happens to be the inclination of Saudi Arabia as a whole. That's why the money for these cretins flows from......ahhh.....oil revenues.
There's a lot more at the link, including a section which demonstrates that the terrorists are actually breaking even Wahhabi laws.

ReplyDeleteJust remember, every major branch of Islam fully justifies the jihadist breaking of Islamist law in the furtherance of the Jihad.
Not according to the linked essay. But that info is WAAAAAAYYYYYY near the end.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, Pope Francis ushered in a new age of relations with Islam. And, you'd better learn the new protocol.
ReplyDeleteNo more jokes about Islam!
