summary After the declaration of war on terror, especially the events of September 2001 in the United States, we see that the terrorist organizations that made the Islamic religion a cover for them in their work have begun to reconfigure themselves intellectually based on the Islamic heritage, especially about the Qur’anic verses and the hadiths related to fighting. The organizations went to consolidate their fighting ideology by confronting the whole world, using a set of fatwas and rulings that were issued by Muslim religious scholars several centuries ago, especially during the era of the Mongolian invasion of the Islamic state and the accompanying calls for resistance by Muslim scholars, especially Ibn Taymiyyah. To facilitate their task of legislating the declaration of war on the whole world, they rejected any ideology opposing them. As the organizations resorted to strictness in adopting these fatwas and religious rulings, and in their explanation of texts, excluding any interpretation other than their objectives.
