The contemporary extremists are indeed, like their predecessors (Al-Khawarij) their preaching and propaganda entices people to join their cause, because they bring forth verses of the Quran to bolster their arguments but they wield them against the objectives of Islam. Usama ibn Zaid reported: Sa’d Bin Waqass, said:” By Allah, I would never kill a Muslim as this one had killed him (Referring to an accident)”. A man said to him: Did not Allah say: (Fight them until there is no more persecution and religion is entirely for Allah)? (2:193)
Sa’d said:” We did fight them – Infidels- until there was no more persecution, but you and your companions intend to fight until there is persecution”. (Ṣaḥih Muslim)
