Mushriks and Borderline Muslims have equal Status In the Eyes of the Extreme

According to the fatwa of 12r Shia scholar al Khoei all non-12rs are Muslim in the duyna, and kaffir in the aqira. Below is the fatwa.



Next the 12r apply this verse toward Sunni and claim we cannot be momin but just borderline Muslims.
The dwellers of the desert say: We believe. Say: You do not believe but say, We submit; and faith has not yet entered into your hearts; and if you obey Allah and His Apostle, He will not diminish aught of your deeds; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. [Quran [49.14]]

Now the 12rs say at least we call you Muslims. However, the 12rs still believe the Sunni madhab must be exposed. In another words they are saying when we call you Muslim, it mean we are providing you safety. However, they are adding that if you call your self momins then that when the opposition begins.

Therefore, in Iran's capital Tehran, Sunni are allowed to come to 12r Shia mosques, but they are limited to freedom of expression, since they are considered non-momins.


Now from the Salafi point of view Sufis and 12rs are mushriks. In fact, they are even worst than Abu Jahal. By the way if you follow Hassnaian Rajabali lectures he too compares the 2 calipahs to Abu Jahal.



Now in comparison 12rs might say our sect is more lenient because we are calling you Muslim and we assure you safety. However, the reality is the Mushrikhs also have the assurance of safety according to the Quran.

And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah . Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do not know. [Quran 9:6]



There is even an example of history where the Mutazilla encountered the Khawarij and managed to get their safety.


In the end the fitna starts where Sunnis in 12r Shia majority call themselves momin and challenge the 12r Shia majority. It gets worst throw labels toward their opposition such as monafiqeen, murshireek are thrown.
Likewise in a Salafi majority the same occurs.
In the end there is guarantee for safety for both sides. However, both sides have to make a comprise where they are a minority.
