| description | Today, Takfir and terrorism are among Muslims and Christians as a deviant and violent thought, especially in the religious-political arena, and it is important to reveal the nature of these Takfiri-terrorist cults. In this regard, this study investigates the emergence backgrounds of Takfir and terrorism among Muslims and Christians, in particular the common aspects of the ISIS cult and Ku Klux Klan applying library research and descriptive correlational research methods. To this end, the historical dimensions of Takfir and terrorism have been investigated from the past to today among Muslims and Christians, and then the common beliefs and goals of the Takfiri cults have been analyzed. The results show that the attitudes of Takfiri cults in Islam and Christianity are not rooted in religion and faith. What is common among these two cults includes deviations from the religious principles, and the political orientation, violence incentives, and domineering. Also, the powers’ behind the curtain political motives has a great demonstration on escalating the crisis in Islamic countries. ISIS and Ku Klux Klan are not approved by Islam and Christianity, and promotion of political awareness and understanding of the essence of religion are among the most important methods for dealing with Takfir. |
