He created a halo around himself that has nothing to do with Islamic Sharia law. He did not know what the ABCs and priorities of Muslims and Islamic law are. However, he still promotes himself as a scholar. He is Essam Tahir al-Barqawi, nicknamed Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, a Jordanian of Palestinian origin and is known as one of the ideologues of the Salafist Jihadist movement and al-Qaeda terrorist organization.

► The Method of «Maqdisi»

Al-Maqdisi considers all those who disagree with him as enemies of Islamic unity and approach.

Al-Maqdisi denounced a number of Islamic figures and groups, foremost of which was the Palestinian Hamas movement, which is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. He responded to a question posed to him about the takfirism of Hamas in one of the satellite channels, saying, “When we label the Hamas government as infidel, it is not out of ignorance. However, it is a legitimate rule fixed for each of those who ruled without relying on the rules of God.”

For several days, al-Maqdisi also launched a strong attack on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, asserting that he was an infidel and stressed at the same time that he was "not of Islam in anything," but "a flamboyant secularist."

He did not only labeled as infidels similar movements and groups, which espouse the ideas of his organization, such as al-Qaeda, but continued to describe as disbelievers the rulers of Arab and Islamic countries, especially Saudi Arabia.

The cleric had a negative attitude from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, his pupil and fellow in prison. He criticized him in some directions for armed action, specifically with regard to targeting Shiites by blowing up Husseiniat and slaughtering.

► The Salafi Jerusalem Clash:

Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi is a hateful person to the Arab countries, because of his Palestinian origin. This Palestinian origin planted in him the perception that the Arabs gave up on the Palestinian state, and unfortunately this concept was disseminated by the Zionists.

Al-Tarfawi said in a statement to al-Reference that al-Maqdisi was a resident of Kuwait and was suffering from the subject of nervousness and isolation at the beginning of learning the Salafi approach. He added that al-Maqdisi was dealing with the intelligence services and the evidence that he is free despite labeling all Arab rulers as disbelievers and urging people to isolate and fight them.
