00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.580
A summary of the concepts held by the Ahl al-Sunnah.

00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:13.220
The pre-Islamic standards regarding terrorism.

00:00:13.220 --> 00:00:18.219
Contemporary proponents of falsehood maintain two contradictory positions on terrorism.

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.

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.

00:00:30.219 --> 00:00:33.219
Or, as they allege, that they are for the sake of spreading Islam and freedom.

00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:39.219
Examples of this include the actions taken by the Jews and the Americans in Muslim lands.

00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:43.219
Such as in Palestine, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

00:00:43.219 --> 00:00:48.219
This is accompanied by the American claim that they came to spread freedom and democracy.

00:00:48.219 --> 00:00:53.219
And to remove the specter of extremism and dictatorship from these countries.

00:00:54.219 --> 00:00:57.219
Under these pretexts, hundreds of thousands have been killed.

00:00:57.219 --> 00:01:01.219
Indeed, millions of Muslims whose blood is sacred.

00:01:01.219 --> 00:01:06.250
Another example is the harm inflicted by tyrants within Muslim lands.

00:01:06.250 --> 00:01:10.250
And elsewhere, upon sincere callers to the faith and reformers.

00:01:10.250 --> 00:01:14.250
By torturing them and casting them into prisons and detention centers.

00:01:14.250 --> 00:01:17.250
And sentencing some of them to death.

00:01:17.250 --> 00:01:20.250
All of this is done under the pretext of combating terrorism.

00:01:20.250 --> 00:01:25.469
While in reality, it is the very essence of terrorism and criminality.

00:01:25.469 --> 00:01:27.469
The second position:

00:01:27.469 --> 00:01:31.469
Condemning those who hold fast to the foundations of Islam and its rites.

00:01:31.469 --> 00:01:33.469
Accusing them of terrorism.

00:01:33.469 --> 00:01:35.469
And describing Jihad for the sake of Allah—

00:01:35.469 --> 00:01:38.469
Whether it be defensive or offensive—

00:01:38.469 --> 00:01:43.469
As terrorism that must be fought and its people eradicated.

00:01:43.469 --> 00:01:46.469
The purpose behind this is clear and exposed.

00:01:46.469 --> 00:01:50.469
They wish to prevent Muslims from exercising their right to fight their enemies.

00:01:50.469 --> 00:01:53.469
In order to rescue their oppressed brothers.

00:01:53.469 --> 00:01:56.469
And to reclaim their usurped rights.

00:01:56.469 --> 00:02:01.469
They also seek to prevent them from working to spread the Islamic call and protect it.

00:02:01.469 --> 00:02:05.469
And from bringing people to the worship of the Lord of the worlds.
