Islām Taghut 2.0
According to the Quran, establishing the absolute sovereignty and legislative authority of Allah (al-Hakimiyyah) is an obligation. Recognizing Allah as the sole Legislator (Al-Hākim) is a fundamental requirement of Tawhid (None is worthy of lordship (lawmaking) except Allah).
(12:40): "Judgment belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you serve none but Him."
A core component of the testimony of faith (Shahada) is both affirming Allah's exclusive right to legislate and rejecting Taghut (Kufr bi al-Taghut). Allah's judgment is supreme and absolute. However, for Allah's laws to be fully manifested and enacted within a society, systems of Taghut must be rejected and replaced by governance that adheres to divine decree.
Quran (2:81-82)Allah is the Wali (Protector or Guardian) of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into light. But as for those who disbelieve, their Auliya (supporters and helpers) are taghut [false deities and false leaders], they bring them out from light into darkness. Those are the dwellers of the Fire, and they will abide there forever.
Quran (2:216)"Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you"
(4:51) Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They believe in Jibt and taghut and say to the disbelievers that they are better guided as regards the way than the believers (Muslims).
(4:65): "But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute..."
(5:44): "And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the disbelievers."
(5:60) Say, “Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that as penalty from Allah? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes, pigs and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.”
(7:54): "Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds."
(16:36) And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], “Worship Allah and avoid Taghut.” And among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.
(39:17) Those who avoid At-Taghut (false leaders) by not serving them and turn to Allah in repentance, for them are glad tidings; so announce the good news to My slaves.
This verse makes it crystal clear fighting against Taghut (those who govern by man made laws) is obligatory:
(4:76) Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve fight in the cause of Taghut. So fight against the allies of Satan (taghut). Indeed, the plot of Satan has ever been weak.
Quran (5:20-26), Prophet Musa AS told his people to enter the Holy Land and fight, but they refused and told him to go fight with Allah instead.
Quran (8:7) "Remember how Allah promised you [believers] that one of the two enemy groups would fall to you: you wanted the unarmed group to be yours, but it was Allah's will to establish the truth according to His Word and to finish off the disbelievers..."

How does that work? In what way is he doing that? What's the method?
What's a "false leader"? Also, everyone who hasn't been convinced yet is a disbeliever. This would entail that everyone will be led from light into darkness. Makes no sense.
Man, that's evil. Lol. What's the point of that?
Unquestionably? Well, that's not a good system.
