If the administration of this relapsed region is strong, it is a war for which we have made the
necessary preparations. If it is weak, we must send one who will remove the evil leaders
among them before their authority becomes too strong, an act which will later facilitate the
fall of this region and provide the opportunity for us to enter it in order to administer it.
In dealing with the minor evil leaders before their authority becomes too strong—especially
when we reach the stage of the administration of savagery for several regions—the learned
Shaykh `Umar Muhammad Abu `Umar says:
“The Muslim youth could have dealt with the erroneous Shaykh al-Habashi with a cheap
bullet in Lebanon at the beginning of his authority. If they did that now, they would be
destroyed. However, this al-Habashi and those like him now grew in power and became
stronger to the point of becoming too great to deal with them through research and lessons.
The people of the Sunna at this time are far away from taking the Sunni path for dealing
with these sorts of deviations. They do not deal with these deviations as the Companions
dealt them (may God be pleased with them). Deviations like these and shaykhs like these
must have the judgment of slaughter passed against them at the very beginning of their
authority. There (will be) no fame for them, nor knowledge of or news of them. However,
the people of the Sunna, regrettably, now generally deal with their problems with false
weeping and begin crying over these situations in a funerary manner as if they are in a Shi`i
gathering commemorating Karbala.”
