In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan says that we should thank Allaah (The Most High) Who repelled the (recent) plot perpetrated by the Hoothi Shiite Raafidah against the Sacred House (i.e. Masjid Al-Haraam) and we should supplicate against them, for indeed they are worthy of punishment. They are not the first people to attack the sacred house, rather the Qaraamitah and likewise Abrahah wanted to destroy the kabah, but Allaah is Ever Watchful Over Them. Allaah [The Most High] stated: [أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ – Have you (O Muhammad) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant?]
This was about the king of Abyssinia who came along with a huge elephant to destroy the Ka’bah, but Allaah repelled them- Allaah sent them birds in flocks and each bird carried three stones, one in its beak and two in the legs. The birds pelted them with the stones – the stones smashed the skulls of the disbelievers and exited from their anuses, and not a single one of them survived.
Have you (O Muhammad) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant? [The elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka’bahat Makkah]. Did He not make their plot go astray? And sent against them birds, in flocks, Striking them with stones of Sijjil. And made them like an empty field of stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).
This year was called the year of the elephant – the year in which the Messenger of Allah [sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam] was born.
Likewise, what did the Qaraamitah do? They killed the pilgrims at the sacred house and at Arafah. They took the black stone to another place they built and called it a Ka’bah. They placed the black stone in that building and it remained there for more than twenty years until Allaah (willed) that it was to be returned to the Kabah (at Makkkah). This act (i.e. attacking the sacred land) is an act of the Shiites and the Raafidah. These Shiites –Hoothi Shiites- are upon the way of their forefathers and Allaah is Ever Watchful Over Them.

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said, “There is no khurooj with the sword except that it is preceded by Khurooj with the tongue”. [Ref 1]
Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzan (may Allaah preserve him) was asked:
The one (i.e. Dhul Khuwaysirah) who said to the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wsallam): ‘’be just’’; is he considered to be from the Sahaabah or is he a khaarijee, alongside the fact that he did not rebel against the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and did not disbelieve through major (kufr etc)?
Answer:
The one (i.e. Dhul Khuwaysirah) who said to the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) ‘’be just’’ is not a just person. This was the beginning of the khawaarij in view of the fact that he accused him of oppression. And it is not a condition that the khawaarij have to carry weapons, rather he (the person) is from the khawaarij and upon their school of thought if he believes in declaring Muslims disbelievers due to major sins (they commit). If he incites (the people) against the one in charge of the affairs through sermons and writing, (then) this is the school of thought of the khawaarij even if he does not carry weapons.
The khawaarij are of different types: Amongst them are those who carry weapons; there are those who speak like the who said to the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), ”Be Just”; amongst them are those who write and amongst them is the one who believes in his heart, but he neither speaks nor does anything; however he has the belief of the khawaarij in his creed. But some of them are worse than others. [Ref 2]

An Unambiguous and Knowledge Based Clarification Regarding Woolwich Attacks- [By Ustaadh Abu Khadijah]; Always Applicable To Atrocities Perpetrated By Lone Wolves & Organised Terrorist Groups In The West- Whether Attributed To Radicalisation Or Extremism In The Name of Islaam
Abdur Rahmaan Bin Muljim and those with him started their plots to assasinate Ali, Mu’aawiyah and Amr Bin Aas (radiyallaahu-anhum) on the 17th of Ramadhaan. Subhaanallaah! This is a continued Sunnah [way or path] of the khawaarij. Many of those who look into history see that many of the (evil) deeds and plots of the Khawaarij are carried out in Ramadhaan. That is because in Ramadhaan the souls of the people are upon tranquillity and drawn towards obedience to Allaah, and the people do not think that anyone will attack them.
