Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Egypt’s Grand Mufti: Even if someone is a member of ISIS, “this does not lead to his expulsion from the fold of Islam”

Aug 23, 2017 11:06 am By Robert Spencer

In the West, the intelligentsia takes it for granted that the Islamic State and al-Qaeda and the rest are not Muslims, and that anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.” Shawki Allam has a more accurate view.

“Egypt’s Grand Mufti Shawki Allam: We Do Not Have the Authority to Pronounce ISIS Unbelievers,” MEMRI, August 17, 2017:

The Grand Mufti of Egypt Shawki Allam said, when asked in a recent TV interview why the state’s religious establishment had failed to pronounce ISIS unbelievers, that: “No matter what [a person] does with his life, as long as he does not renounce [the two shahadas], this does not lead to his expulsion from the fold of Islam.” “Declaring the expulsion of such a person from the fold of Islam is the prerogative of the judiciary,” he said in the Sada Al-Balad TV interview, which aired on August 17.

      Yes. Leaving Islam/denouncing Islam/ Marrying infidels/converting to a different religion/renouncing Allah/denouncing Allah to mention a few. M

      Kicked out is a better choice than getting killed for all the above reasons that mariam mentioned

    Islamic shahadas are only licenses to commit atrocities against kuffars. This message should be publicized so that the peaceful muzzies who say Isis are not muslims know about it. After all how could a Grand Mufti go wrong!!

    When a Muslim reveals the true nature of Islam, the media refuses to report on it. You can find the truth here, and that’s the reason why the left is doing all it can to silence this site.

      Yes it must be difficult to be an apologist for islam, a bit like a neverending game of whackamole.

      Every time a prominent muslim opens their mouth, something hateful, spiteful or just downright sick, comes out.

      That’s probably why the establishment are so desperate to silence truthtellers, it makes covering these things up so much easier for them.

    Although Mufti McMaster disagrees …

    He’s probably hesitant to call them unbelievers because doing that, takfir, is one of the gravest decisions in Islam and he doesn’t want to gamble with his soul.

    I think you are right Robert, the lefts are waiting for the kill. You don;t hear a peep from them, only peeps from the`'” so called prominent muslim leaders. Because they do everything like the muslims who do their best to stay horrendous and in the meantime, probably the lefts are making their plans.
    So we should stay alert.

    No in fact they get the equivalent of the medal of honor!

    This is bizarre to me in that it is such a meely mouthed endorsement of IS. I would expect a leader of Muslims to be clearly for or against IS. Here, what was said is ultimately a total endorsement, but the squirmy intellectual wiggling I do not understand. I wonder how his statement is being perceived in Egypt. He is in Egypt. He is not having to persuade or deceive Westerners. The manner of his endorsement just seems to be such an incredible display of weakness.

    Makes perfect sense doesn’t it? They are simply applying the laws of the Koran, Sharia Law – so just WHO is surprised? And why should they be expelled? It is not THEIR thinking which is wrong – it is ours for imagining any other explanation. Mugs! That is what we are – pure and simple – Mugs!

    There you have it, boys and girls, Islamic terrorists CAN NOT be delegitimized by Muslims…therefore, ergo, Islamic terrorists have NOT hijacked the religion and their defense in any “trial” will be…they will say they do what they do according to the teachings and examples of Muhammad.
