You do know despite being people of the book the Christians and Jews are still to be treated as Mushrikun. So the last statement is in no violation of Islam. Here’s a few articles written on Ibn Taymiyyah by one of the most popular Sunni websites on the internet:He is respected by the Neo-Kharijites who differ traditional Sunnis in the following ways:
- They believe the gate of ijtihad (interpretation) remains open unlike most Sunnis who believe it was closed in the 9th century.
- The believe in something called *takfir wa hijr.* This means they hold it impermissible for a Muslim to live in a country not governed by Islamic law without seeking to overthrow and make it Islamic. Otherwise they should immigrate to a place which is truly Muslim.
- They hold that any nominally Muslim government which does not abide by the shariah (Islamic law) is therefore really apostate. Such a government should be overthrown and its leaders killed. For this reason, hitherto, most of the violence of Islamist groups was aimed at other Muslims. This position, I might add, is basically the same one held by the Kharijites in early Islam. The Kharijites were the faction responsible for assassinating the Imam Ali and have been considered dangerous heretics by both Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims alike.
- They insist in regarding Christians and Jews as infidels rather than people of the book.
