Salafi Movements; from Subjection to Extremism

Salafiyah appeared among the Sunni community as a religious movement in a critical manner and gradually took on a political color which eventually changed into a political movement. After a while، their religious strife caused some discrepancies between leaders and followers. A group of them called “Jamieh” supported the government and considered the obedience of the ruler (King) necessary. The second group، “Srurieh”، by individualization of “Fatva” prepared the ground for disobedience to the ruler (king). The third party، “Qotbieh“، with their jihadist propaganda، promoted the idea of Sultanate punishment if his behavior was not Islamic. Finally، the fourth group called “Al Qaeda”، Came up with a combination of skepticism in Srurie and jihadist propaganda of Qotbiye and initiated the world struggle and the extremism. This essay describing these Salafi movements، explains their evolution from subjection to extremism. For the authors، the most important factor of this evolution، is the social and political conditions prevailing in the Muslim world and the processes that govern the relations between the countries in the new world order.
