Wahhabi tawhid doctrine requires public repudiation of others as an initiation rite

Evidence

Any Muslim who does not denounce everything that Ibn ʿAbd al-Wahha¯b denounced as shirk is himself an apostate; and as such his wealth and blood are not protected – that is, he can and should be killed. As Ahmad Dallal (2016, 38) wrote, “The concept of tawh˙ı¯d is thus linked in the thought of Ibn ʿAbd al-Wahha¯b to an act of repudiation, which functions as a rite of initiation in Wahhabism. The uninitiated remains guilty of shirk.” — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized, 1857

Categorization

• XREF: The repudiation-as-rite-of-initiation mechanism speaks directly to the reader’s inquiry into how group solidarity is manufactured: an act of declaring others apostate is the admission ticket, not bloodline — solidarity built by shared denunciation. — connects to: Wahhabism legitimizes itself by declaring nearly all other Muslims apostates — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized:…, 1847; Wahhabi doctrine makes hesitation itself a capital offense stripping apostates of protection. — Nadim N. Rouhana and Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, When Politics Are Sacralized:…, 1856
• DEEPTHINKING: A mechanism finding: the boundary is drawn by an act of repudiation against an indefinite ‘majority of Muslims,’ making the in-group perpetually dependent on the existence/enunciation of an out-group to constitute itself — directly useful to the reader’s manufactured-enemy question.
