1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:08,580
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

2
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:13,220
The pre-Islamic standards regarding terrorism.

3
00:00:13,220 --> 00:00:18,219
Contemporary proponents of falsehood maintain two contradictory positions on terrorism.

4
00:00:18,219 --> 00:00:24,219
The first is their practice of it in its most heinous forms and at the highest levels.

5
00:00:24,219 --> 00:00:30,219
They justify their actions by claiming they are acts of self-defense or support for the oppressed.

6
00:00:30,219 --> 00:00:33,219
Or, as they allege, that they are for the sake of spreading Islam and freedom.

7
00:00:33,219 --> 00:00:39,219
Examples of this include the actions taken by the Jews and the Americans in Muslim lands.

8
00:00:39,219 --> 00:00:43,219
Such as in Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

9
00:00:43,219 --> 00:00:48,219
This is accompanied by the American claim that they came to spread freedom and democracy.

10
00:00:48,219 --> 00:00:53,219
And to remove the specter of extremism and dictatorship from these countries.

11
00:00:54,219 --> 00:00:57,219
Under these pretexts, hundreds of thousands have been killed.

12
00:00:57,219 --> 00:01:01,219
Indeed, millions of Muslims whose blood is sacred.

13
00:01:01,219 --> 00:01:06,250
Another example is the harm inflicted by tyrants within Muslim lands.

14
00:01:06,250 --> 00:01:10,250
And elsewhere, upon sincere callers to the faith and reformers.

15
00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:14,250
By torturing them and casting them into prisons and detention centers.

16
00:01:14,250 --> 00:01:17,250
And sentencing some of them to death.

17
00:01:17,250 --> 00:01:20,250
All of this is done under the pretext of combating terrorism.

18
00:01:20,250 --> 00:01:25,469
While in reality, it is the very essence of terrorism and criminality.

19
00:01:25,469 --> 00:01:27,469
The second position:

20
00:01:27,469 --> 00:01:31,469
Condemning those who hold fast to the foundations of Islam and its rites.

21
00:01:31,469 --> 00:01:33,469
Accusing them of terrorism.

22
00:01:33,469 --> 00:01:35,469
And describing Jihad for the sake of Allah—

23
00:01:35,469 --> 00:01:38,469
Whether it be defensive or offensive—

24
00:01:38,469 --> 00:01:43,469
As terrorism that must be fought and its people eradicated.

25
00:01:43,469 --> 00:01:46,469
The purpose behind this is clear and exposed.

26
00:01:46,469 --> 00:01:50,469
They wish to prevent Muslims from exercising their right to fight their enemies.

27
00:01:50,469 --> 00:01:53,469
In order to rescue their oppressed brothers.

28
00:01:53,469 --> 00:01:56,469
And to reclaim their usurped rights.

29
00:01:56,469 --> 00:02:01,469
They also seek to prevent them from working to spread the Islamic call and protect it.

30
00:02:01,469 --> 00:02:05,469
And from bringing people to the worship of the Lord of the worlds.
