meetings in Geneva with the Nusayrī regime, while claiming that the Islamic State strives to serve regime interests! The apostate former head of the Syrian National Council to dispose of him just in case he decided to come out and expose the “conspiracy” of which he was supposedly a part. If the mujāhidīn liberated territory occupied by the kuffār, they would say that the kuffār allowed them to do so because kāfir interests necessitated a prolonged war. If the mujāhidīn announced an Islamic state, they would say that the kuffār facilitated such so as to justify their continued interference in Muslim affairs. And so, according to these theorists, almost all the events of the world were somehow linked back to the kuffār, their intelligence agencies, research, technology, and coconspirators! Conspiracy theories have thereby become an excuse to abandon jihād, to have great awe for the kuffār, to forsake the obligation of bay’ah, and to pursue the Dunyā, all in the name of political “awareness.” One of the worst aspects of these theories is that they require no evidence, just foolish “deductions.” And worse yet, many of these conspiracy claimants are themselves involved in real kāfir conspiracies! You see the Iraqi Sahwah fighting alongside the Iraqi army – openly backed by Iran – while claiming that the mujāhidīn are agents of Iran! You see Sahwah factions openly handing over territory to the Nusayrī regime, while claiming the mujāhidīn cooperate with the Nusayrī regime! You see the different Sawhah factions openly and publically meeting with Qatar, Turkey, Āl Salūl, and the Americans and discussing their plans for cooperation against the Islamic State, while claiming that the muhājirīn and ansār are allies and agents of foreign states! You see the Syrian National Coalition considering 16 ARTICLE No evidence is required to deduce a conspiracy, just desire and foolishness. As for when the cooperation with the kuffār against Muslims is clearly public, it suddenly becomes “maslahah” (the greater “good”). It is a “maslahah” to cooperate with the Americans against the Islamic State, not a conspiracy of kufr and treachery! It is a “maslahah” to cooperate with those factions backed by the tawāghīt and crusaders against the Islamic State, not deviance nor apostasy! It is a “maslahah” to advance under the cover of crusader and apostate planes against the Islamic State, not a gate to the deepest levels of Hellfire! It is a “maslahah” to use the words “civil law,” “civil state,” and “self-determination,” not submission to the demands of one’s crusader and apostate backers! The extreme belief in conspiracy theories varies between minor and major shirk depending on the degree of power, knowledge, and ownership attributed by its believer to the kuffār. If one were to reinterpret the history of the Muslims in accordance to the conspiracy theories of these theorists, he would come out with grave deviance. One only has to ask these theorists, were the Muslims able to establish a state and expand it only with consent from the Roman and Persian empires? Were the Muslims agents of the Romans or Persians during their wars against these two rival empires? Were the Persians faking their war against the Romans while secretly being their allies? Were the Muslims faking their battles against one of the two rival empires? Were the false prophets and
