New Salafis
Published in Alriyadh on 18 - 04 - 2011

When any event and military defeat or victory occurred in the Arab World, some ideas and ideologies are born to fill in the collapse of a regime or an ideology. This complex occurs again and again then swells and explodes.
After 1973, Egypt and Israel signed Camp David Accords; despite of the Arab victory, Takfir wal-Hijra emerged which assign itself as a substitute for any other Islamic ideology that rejects the radical excommunication. Many offshoots emerged in the same era in Algeria, Jordan, Yemen...etc. Afghanistan was the center and the brooder of this cult and other radical sects when it used the Soviet colonization to get a public Islamic homage and asked for volunteering participators from the whole Islamic World and the number increased with unprecedented sympathy.
Al-Qaeda and Taliban are two arms in a body; the only difference is that Taliban is Afghani internal cult which wants to regain its role as a radical Islamic government, while Al-Qaeda is a world organization which fights Islam enemies everywhere. These cults are the natural creation of political and ideological gaps which turn the Arab citizen to be part of the internal powers and the developed countries dictations; however, its problem is the difficulty of spreading its beliefs which leads to using terrorism as a weapon.
Nowadays after the Arab revolutions which got out without a commander, country project or expectations of needs after the ousting of the regime, some group emerged to call themselves "Salafi Organization" and used ways of expression which were rejected by other Islamic figures. However, the use of blades to assault soldiers and unarmed citizens present us to new doubts: who manage this cult? What are their aims? Is it the extension or mix of Takfir wal-Jijra and Al-Qaeda beliefs to prove its existence by their deeds or a mere role-played chaos moved by national and international powers?
The new Salafis attempts to dispel visions of who will lead the post-revolution era assuming that the radical Islam will be the objective substitute in order to scare the countries which want to chase Al-Qaeda figures and show a new face of revolutions supported by invisible powers.
The big picture does not give the impression that the new organization grows or has actual roots in the street even if Al-Qaeda assumed the existence of Islamic emirates in Libya or the Houthis' use of Yemen contradictions to view their power. The same applies with Jordan and many Arab countries.
We see new scenes regardless if they will have a direct impact or are mere transient events. The Arab World is forming and seeking democracy and free regimes but fears exist as long as the security is weak in dealing with outlaws. Perhaps the support of police role, the creation of a new awareness of extreme phenomena and the fast procedures to elect a legitimate regime are the solutions to face cults which want to prove its extreme methods.
