1) Sorry not sure what that brought to the discussion 2) We dont know the situation on the ground and the western media will always portray islamic groups in a poor light, giving totally made up interviews to show how much they are hated. Sometimes groups who are much loved by the people who rule by the shariah are vilified by the west because of an anti islam agenda to prevent teh establishment of shariah. So Allahu a'lam. I agree that they shoudl be aductaed and I hope inshAllah that this will happen, its from the salafi methodology to educate people in tawheed, in fact thats the core aspect of salafi dawah 3) baab mughalqun inshAllah 4) Respect the opinion of those in authority inshAllah. They hod the opinion that they must level graves because of the hadeeth and athaar I have proivded which do seem to strongly indiciate taht we must level graves. If they are following a valid opinion why shoudl we oppose it simply because we dont like "wahhabis"? 5) The state must implement shariah law. They must use force when teh shariah dictates and not use force when teh shriah doenst dictate. If you folow this, tehre is no conceivable way that you are oppressive because you are following Allahs law. Oppression is to do what Allah hasnt commanded, and he did order us to smash graves. So this is not "militant" or "oppressive". They are now the legitimate rulers of northern mali and as such must be obeyed by the citzens. As for using hikmah, may Allah help them in that inshAllah. But if they slip up, may Allah forgive them. At least they are trying to rule by Islam. Why is it that we have more to say about those who rule by Islam than we do about secularists and apostates?
