Peaceful Salafism is an oxymoron
Peaceful Salafism is an oxymoron. Non-violent Salafism is just the outer court which housed the inner chamber of Jihadi Salafism. Salafism is the incubator for the likes of Daesh, Al Qaeda etc., As long as Salafism is no supplanted it will always breed crazy Jihadists.
All religions possess the innate potential to be like Jihadi Salafism in intolerance and violence. Which one is living through a violent phase is a matter of the socio-political history of its adherents. Salafism has it birthplace in the dysfunction of the Middle East.
To propose Peaceful Salafism is just simply naive and wishful. It only means the problem will never be solved. This is a drawn out struggle and titanic contest of the wills. To bring it to an earlier end, the theology of Jihadi Salafism must not only be discredited but the Caliphate they set up also fail as well. Best that the Caliphate self destruct but if we can't afford to give this the time happen, we will have to destroy it in a manner as unlike their apocalyptic expectations as possible.
At the end of the day Jihadi Salafism are for losers who refused to take personal responsibility for their lives. So they want to tear down society as we know it and rebuild except they do not realize how unachievable their vision is.
Update: 6:10 pm
I quote myself from the main post, "All religions possess the innate potential to be like Jihadi Salafism in intolerance and violence."
I just came across this article. Serendipity indeed.
There was sort of a Christian ISIS the author argued. I need to research this in greater detail. It was bad but I hoped they did not descend to the same depth of depravity as Daesh.
