Muhammad Abu Zahra describes the extreme group of Kharijites saying: “This is among the most violent Islamic sects in defense of its doctrine and views. They are the most religious in appearance, and the most reckless and aggressive in their behavior. This has strict compliance to literal meanings of the text … Such enthusiasm and dedication to the literal are not the only attributes of Kharijites. Their attributes also include the love of redemption, the desire to die, and seeking risks without the need to do so…The truth is that, sincerity characterized many of them, but it is a sincerity aligned to a particular doctrine… intolerance dominated their arguments and they will never submit to their opponents nor accept ideas no matter how close they are to the truth. The strength of their opponents’ arguments fuels their obstinacy… This is because their doctrine penetrates to the depths of their hearts, and seizes their thinking and awareness”. )Firaq Islamyah, p 211)
