		They don’t know the meaning of ‘Shirk(polytheism/paganism)’ and the meaning of ‘Muslim’ based on Quran alone.
		So we have to focus on what Islam is, who muslim is, what shirk is based on Quran alone if we are serious and sincere in our thoughts.
		Therefore, the understanding and using of ‘Islam is only in Quran’ is correct, while the idiom of ‘Quranic Islam’ is wrong.

	Wahhabism, the Saudi Arabia-based puritanical heresy at the base of Islamism
		By saying so, he destroys Wahhabism from its roots, since Wahhabi books say that Ummah al-Muhammadiyyah is involved in polytheism, that Muslim countries are full of idols, and that Muslim graves are houses of shirk.

	Libya: News and Views - Letters
		The Wahabbis have too rigorous a view of monotheism, tawheed, and, therefore, consider all expressions of reverence, which are directed towards beings other than God, a form of polytheism, shirk.
		The Wahabbis are also militant traditionalists who consider everything that was not practiced during the time of the first two generations of Islam as innovation, bidd'aa and, therefore, must be forbidden.
		The aim of Wahabbis is not without virtue, but this does not mean that others who disagree with them, on this or other matters, are wrong and, therefore, less monotheistic, mawahideen, than they are.

	An Introduction to Islamic Monotheism
		Thus tawhid is monotheism while shirk is polytheism or idolatry.
		In other words, in order to be truly monotheistic, you must not only worship God alone in your prayer (outward tawhid al-ibada) but you must have the correct knowledge (tawhid ar-rububiyya), the correct understanding (tawhid al-asma wa as-sifat), and the correct motivation (inner tawhid al-ibada).
		Having the correct motivation and annihilating hypocrisy is in fact a lifelong struggle for most people, and so there are very few who have completely perfected their monotheism (tawhid).

		And as much as he remains under Satan's control, his permissibilities become less and Satanic polytheism [shirk] will affect them.

		The writer says: The accursed lblis is the enemy of Allah, and his conducts and all the Satanic intrusions in the world of nature are tyrannical and usurping.

	HADHRAT THANVI
		Hadhrat Thanvi R.A. explains that this because when an aalim makes a wrong statement it will not be serious enough to lead to kufr and shirk (infidelity and polytheism) since he is aware of its evil and there is still hope that he would repent.
		All that he will understand is that instead of two sa’a, one sa’a Barni was obtained, unlike an aalim who knows how to lawfully make the transaction.
		In fact if an ignorant person does something, he will do it incorrectly (unlawfully) because of his ignorance and if an aalim does the same thing, he will do it correctly (lawfully) because of his knowledge”.

	Dhimmi Watch: The obligation of inciting religious hatred
		Allaah (swt) orders the believers to hate all other religions, way of lives, creeds, doctrines and beliefs that contradict with Islaam, and one cannot be Muslim without to declare animosity and hatred towards kufr [unbelief], bid'ah [innovation in religion], shirk [polytheism] and nifaaq [hypocrisy] (Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Democracy, Freedom etc.).
		In the end, I feel that speech inciting religiously-motivated violence, hatred, or other despicable practices falls outside the bounds of protected speech, especially when these jihadis openly suggest treason against their host countries.
		As a Muslim American, I have to say that it is about time that fundamentalist Muslims stop using religion to further their prejudicial hatred or their political goals.
