Abstract

Neo-Salafism is one of the theological currents of the contemporary era which, while preserving the principles of Salafism, seeks to injure and modify some of its principles by criticizing Salafism. The neo-Salafis, by transcending the dogmatic beliefs of Salafism and presenting new and different interpretations of the currents within the Sunni Islamic paradigm, demonstrated a more moderate view of fundamentalist Islam. They against new kind of Salafism (Jihadi - Takfiris) seek to achieve Islamic rule by reviving monotheism and using more moderate methods such as inviting and cadre building and educating to the society. According to the views of people such as the late Farihi, Babi Saeed, Samir Amqar, Kerry Glin, etc., Noselfieh is interpreted as an irrational current and prone to extremist violence and militarism. The title of claimants of the neo-Salafi discourse seeks to show that, contrary to popular interpretations of neo-Salafism, this current has a more rational and moderate discourse than other Salafi currents.
