| 2014-01-21 |
| [MAGHAREBIA] Since Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... st views now spread in record time, thanks to social media and online forums, many Moroccans say it is time to take a stand against religious extremism. Political, art and civil society figures face online criticism for calling for modern approaches to Islam. They say people need to be able to discuss hot-button issues such as inheritance, polygamy and the marriage of minors without fear of being lambasted by bad boys. "The waves of takfir ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... ism are battering Moroccans more and more," parliamentarian Khadija Rouissi of the Party of Authenticity and Modernity (PAM) told Mediaz.ma on January 12th. "Takfirism inevitably leads to murder," the MP added. |
