A venom that had brought division, hatred and savagery to Muslims from the very first century of Islam is #takfirism: To declare other Muslims with different opinions and beliefs as "kafir" (infidel), which typically follows with the imagined right to kill them.
That venom had a major revival in the past few decades.
ISIS practices it in real life, in the most extreme form, by killing any Muslim it can brand as "apostate."
Relatively milder takfiris are active on Twitter. They don't physically take arms; but they keep throwing takfir.

Just today, I saw Muslim academics such as @DrJavadTHashmi and @KhalilAndani being targets of takfir.
My take: All this zealotry presents itself as piety. Yet in fact, it is nothing but narcissism. It does not serve God. It only serves the hubris of the self-righteous takfiris.
