He explained that, in his view, the group operates from its own doctrinal perspective, adopting a belief that restricts faith to its followers and those who accept its authority, thereby denying rights to those who disagree with it.
Al-Amiri added that, in his opinion, this belief shapes the group’s treatment of its opponents, as it considers that anyone who does not follow its approach or accept its exclusive authority does not deserve rights to their person, property, or life.
