Also, could you tell us what the followers of the 'correct' teachings are doing to moderate the 'incorrect' adherants? Finally, could you just go over the apostasy thing, please? What happens if a Muslim chooses to leave Islam? Thank you.

Excerpt from: The Khawarij ideology, by Sheikh Fawzaan:
This is the exact methodology of the Khawaarij. It includes three things:
1. Making Takfir (removing from the fold of Islaam) of other Muslims.
2. Renouncing obedience to the leader or government.
3. Declaring the blood of other Muslims lawful to spill.
This is precisely the methodology of the Khawaarij. Even if a person were only to believe any of these things with his heart, yet he may not actually speak or do anything of them, he is still one of the Khawaarij in his baseless belief and opinions.
Nowadays, these people operate heavily online with particular focus on the Tube, through multimedia presentations, and recorded video lectures, attempting to deceive other Muslims with their claimed attachment to the way of the Salaf. You will come across these people lecturing on "Ascription to the Salaf" and speaking on particular aspects of the Salafi creed, and refuting some of the sects of innovation, and they steal or plagiarize much of the information from the Salafi websites, so they can show to the people that they have scores of articles in relation to the foundations of Islaam. They do this to gain credibility in their attempts to poison other Muslims with their real agenda - inviting to their cult and their hizbiyyah (partisanship), to frightening people away from the true and real scholars and instead to direct them to disgraces such as Omar Bakri and his likes.
It is known from history that the Innovators seek to promulgate their deviation through concealment and obfuscation, speaking with speech that outwardly appears to be in accord with the Sunnah, with the intent of using that as a means to promulgate one's foundational doctrines.
Despite all of this activity, it is a rule that if you are concealing an innovation or deviation, then you will not be able to hide it for long. It will certainly be exposed in your speech, or in your companionship, or in your actions, or allegiance and so on. And the greatest of the giveaways against them is that they continue upon their Leninst-Marxist Revolutionary Manifestos, following on from that movement of Takfir in the 1960s itself resulting from the notions of "social justice" coming from 20th century ignoramuses writing about Islam after having "gulped down" Western Materialistic Philosophies for 15 years of their lives. These doctrines continue to manifest from these people and it is essentially what their call is based around. For this reason, they are easily recognizable, no matter how much camouflage and obfuscation they try to create, at some point or other, they have to express the innovation they are calling to in reality, and express their resentment and hatred of the Scholars, Takfir of the Scholars and Takfir of Rulers and of Muslim nation-states through their calls for revolution (ideologically or otherwise).
So do not be deceived by these Khawaarij. Be warned - again - that they will not acknowledge themselves to be from the Khawaarij. Rather, they will call themselves Ikhwanul Muslimeen ("Ikhwanees"), or Qutbi, or Hizb ut-Tahreer, or Suroori, or Turaathiyaah, or al-Qa'diyah, or "al-Muhajiroon", orJamaa'at al-Jihaad, or Jama'atul-Hijrah wat-Takfeer, or Hamas, orJamaa'at ul-Islaamee of Pakistan, or Jamaa'at ul-Islaamee of Egypt, orIslamic "Jihaad" of Palestine, or Hizbollah of South Lebanon, or FIS and GIA, or the 'Salafist Group For Preaching and Combat' of Algeria, orTaliban, or Usamah bin Ladin's Al-Qaedah.
Student of knowledge, Hassan as-Somali said during a talk under the heading Al-Qa'idah and al-Khawaarij: Two Names, one ideology:
The Khawaarij prey upon ignorant people, people who don't understand their religion. That's why you found Hizb ut-Tahreer and (the group that calls itself) "Al-Muhaajiroon"... Where was their focus in the 1990s and likewise in the beginning of this year and last year and the year before last. Where was their primary focus? Who can answer? [Yes,] universities.
Universities!
Why? Because the majority of the people in the universities were unaware, not really understanding their religion. Yes, they were Muslims, but they didn't have the grounding and understanding that would be needed to repel and refute the doubts of these people, even though their doubts are weak.
So when people ask, 'Why is it that we find British-born citizens blowing up themselves? Then the answer is because you allowed Omar Bakri to preach in the university for the last 10 years, and other individuals who are like him.
