And if revolutions and wars have their logic in violence and bloodshed, which often, intentionally or unintentionally, exceed the limits set by Sharia. And if the sharp, barbaric nature has a role in preparing these battles and taking them far, then we believe that the sharpness, violence, and haste in bloodshed of Ibn Tumart have permeated the character of those who took charge after him and manifested in these harsh scenes and events that represent an ugly face of the Almohad rule, despite the interpretations and excuses some of them sought.

Among them is that Ya'qub al-Mansur brought his brother Abu Yahya, who was rebelling against him, and said to him: "I am killing you by the saying: 'If two caliphs are sworn allegiance to in the land, then kill the other of them.'"
