Obey rulers no matter how evil they are! (ugly side of Sunni Islam)

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Here are some hadiths about obeying rulers no matter what:

Why pick on Islam?

Historically, that attitude has been that of most organised religions,which invariably either support (and are supported by) the status quo or ARE the status quo

Even Jesus is reported as saying "render unto Caesar---" Paul goes even further,invoking the divine right of rulers. IE stating rulers are introduced by God, and that to disobey them is to disobey God.

"Render unto Caesar…" is the beginning of a phrase attributed to Jesus in the synoptic gospels, which reads in full, "Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" (Ἀπόδοτε οὖν τὰ Καίσαρος Καίσαρι καὶ τὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῷ Θεῷ Matthew 22:21).

Some read the phrase "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" as unambiguous at least to the extent that it commands people to respect state authority and to pay the taxes it demands of them. Paul the Apostle also states in Romans 13 that Christians are obliged to obey all earthly authorities, stating that as they were introduced by God, disobedience to them equates to disobedience to God, however many scholars and theologians have often noted the drastic difference in teachings between Paul and Jesus.
