Regrettably, this has resulted in grievous actions, primarily affecting Muslims, all under the banner of Islam. Unless we, as a community, cast off this mindset, we will continue to grapple with confusion, internal discord, and disunity. To address this, it is imperative to reinstate the scholarly authority of the four Sunni schools of Law (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi, and Hanbali) as well as the Sunni schools of creed (Ashari, Maturidi, and Hanbali).\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\"},{\"attributes\":{\"color\":\"#000000\",\"background\":\"transparent\"},\"insert\":\"Islam categorically does not advocate animosity towards Jews, Christians, or any other group.
