This is irrational thinking and this is the way how Khawarij recruit their candidates for killing and giving takfeer! They first start by slandering scholars and discrediting them and accusing them that they are either sell-outs or palace scholars! Then, they pretend to care for the Muslims and justifying their massacres and terrorist attacks by wanting to serve Islam!
The scholars of Islam made it clear that there are foundations where we can build our faith on and there are conditions that must be fulfilled!
Jihad can’t be applied except under the flagship of a real Muslim ruler! They don’t give takfeer to rulers and Muslims and this is why the Khawarij target them and try to discredit them!
The khawarij have not got a single scholar backing them up which tells you to stay away from them!
