Obeying tyrants as a religious duty

Where it gets interesting is to whom do you listen about a Muslim ruler being a tyrant or not?

The Ottoman Khalifat face many religious revolts, where a lay preacher would teach that the Khalif had strayed from Islam and Shariah and was oppressing the people.

The religious authorities such as the qadis appointed by the Khalif would issue fatwas stating that the Khalif was an upright Muslim.

good point however that does not mean he cannot be questioned

problem is also that the caliphs themselves rely on a mass of bribed mullahs who will twist any fact to justify their actions
