The Saudi scholars use to call for Jihad against Soviet Union in Afghanistan, but not against America. Go figure.
I brought you Quran verses, you brought me comprised shaykhs. What do you think would happen to Shaykh Uthaymeen if he made a jihad fatwa? Would he still be free or rot in a jail cell
an isolated Quran verse doesn't necessarily prove a given thing. even the khawarij would quote the Quran.
Quran and Sunnah have to be considered as a whole. plus a particular verse has to be considered in terms of context and tafsir.
I respect Sheikh Uthaymeen. I'm not interested in taking anonymous people on SomaliSpot over the actual scholars. Sheikh Uthaymeen was a great scholar. I'm not interested in turning against the scholars or insulting the scholars and following ordinary people instead. If I need surgery I'm not going to go to a random man on the street and ask him to operate.
