Al-Kawthar TV is an Arabic-language television channel launched in 2006. It broadcasts religious and cultural programs for Arab audience in the Middle East and North Africa.
Takfir refers to the practice of excommunication, one Muslim declaring another Muslim as kafir (non-believer).
Takfirism, derived from the word kafir, meaning infidel or non-believer, the Arabic word could refer to any ideology that is based on declaring the dissent apostate, and therefore eligible to be killed by the members of the group. Takfirism is mostly rooted in Wahhabism, the official religion of the absolute autocratic regime of Saudi Arabia. Wahhabism, according to Wikipedia, has been accused of being a source of global terrorism, inspiring the ideology of Daesh and for causing disunity in Muslim communities by labeling Muslims who disagreed with the Wahhabi definition of monotheism as apostates and justifying their killing.
In the case of Daesh (ISIL) Takfiri terrorist group, for instance, it does not matter if you are a Shia, Sunni, Arab, Kurd, Christian, or Izadi in Iraq or Syria. As long as you do not believe in the terrorist entity as "the only legitimate power to rule the world", you are kafir and should die.
