   The answer is simple: because he is an opportunist who realizes that if he   
   were to act as he does while LARPing, say, as a Shīʿī ʿalim; throwing   
   around "fatāwā," previously on Dugin, where he commits takfīr on someone   
   who doesn't even lay claim to    
   Islam, and lately on homosexuality; and self-publishing shirkī tomes that   
   repudiate the very people over whom he is LARPing as a "representative," while   
   using the excuse of "satire" to anyone who calls him out on it — then he   
   would be immediately    
   rebuked for his behaviour and cast out. Therefore, he chose a small, obscure,   
   and vulnerable tradition such as the Bayān to appropriate to his own ends   
   while, of his own admission, maintaining to real connection to that tradition:   
      
   "I  should  also  underscore  the  fact  that  my  esoteric  Bayání    
   Gnostic  Universalism  is at the same time sometimes in sharp and independent   
   contrast to their [the Bayānīs'] own somewhat mild exoteric approach to the   
   Bayán. [...] As  a  point     
   of  fact,  I  have  no  problems  whatsoever  expressing my utter contempt for   
   all forms of exoteric religion and those  institutions  who  represent  them"   
   (Wahid Azal, Liber Decatriarchia Mystica, p. 19).   
      
   Also, this allows Wahid, in lieu of a PhD, to pretend as if he has some degree   
   of academic pedigree because he has done some work (though hasn't published   
   anything of note) on one of the most obscure sub-fields of Islamic studies,   
   where, in his typical    
   fashion, he continues to make claims for which he only cites "private   
   correspondences" as evidence.   
      
   And all of these things, coincidentally, are even more things which Wahid   
   continues to project onto his enemies. He accuses all of his Sunnī critics of   
   being takfīrīs while being guilty of takfīr himself; he accuses Dugin of   
   shirk, while being guilty    
   of shirk himself; and he accuses everyone who he's fallen out with of lying   
   while constantly backpedaling on his embarrassing claims and invoking taqiyya   
   as an excuse. Just to let you know, Wahid, taqiyya is not meant to be a   
   convenient excuse for your    
   pathological lying; that's called spiritual bypass.
