Exclusivism

The exclusivism is a form of theological evaluation of other religions.

It refers to the idea that their religion is the only true, accurate or salvific was and other religions or faiths have no share in the truth, or at least healing decisive truths.

In Christianity

An example of this belief is the long time in the Catholic Church Extra ecclesiam nulla salus prevailing doctrine ( Outside the Church there is no salvation ). This position has been put into perspective in the Catholic Church by the issued by the Second Vatican Council's Declaration Nostra Aetate, which reflects an inclusivist position in relation to other religions. Thus, salvation is only in Jesus Christ, but optionally redeem even non- Christians, and can give them salvation.

In Islam

In Islam exclusivist views, especially in the context of Kharijite and Wahhabi teachings have been developed by the loyalty and defection. The Wahhabis were split at the beginning of the 19th century in a exklusivistisches and an inclusive camp. While the Exklusivisten all non-Muslims and Muslims who did not follow their doctrine, regarded as infidels and called for a jihad against them, said the Inklusivisten that other Muslims would only live in sin, so that it would not be necessary to to fight them. In the confrontation between the two groups, the Exklusivisten proved in the 19th century as stronger. Around the turn of the century exclusivist scholars were sent to the Bedouins of Najd, to cheer for jihad. The result of their activity was the movement of the Ikhwan, the King Abd al- Aziz ibn Saud was based upon expansion of the Saudi state. The increasing radicalism of this group, however, forced the ruler in 1929 to proceed with British help against them. The last bastions of the exclusivist Wahhabitentum remained sonannten Ikhwan of Buraydah and Sheikh Hamood at- Tuwairiqī. Their views were in the 1970s in Saudi Arabia but increasingly by the flow of " Islamic awakening " ( al- Sahwa al - Islamiyya ) challenged.
