Takfiri ideology

Takfiri ideology is a radical belief held by some extremist groups that label other Muslims or non-Muslims as apostates—people who have abandoned their faith—based on their practices or beliefs. This classification justifies violence against those considered non-believers or insufficiently devout. Takfiri groups often reject the legitimacy of certain governments or religious authorities, advocating for militant action to establish their interpretation of Islamic rule. This ideology fosters intolerance and violence, and its proponents seek to justify targeting individuals or communities that don't align with their strict and exclusive worldview.
