Morphology
takfiri + ideology
The phrase combines the technical adjective 'takfiri' (derived from takfir, a religious-exclusion concept) with the transparent noun 'ideology' (a system of beliefs), so a learner who knows both parts can infer it refers to the belief-system associated with takfir. However, the strong connotation that this doctrine sanctions violence and exacts apostasy judgments is specialized socio-religious knowledge not directly predictable from the literal parts, making the MWE only partially transparent.
Etymology
Takfiri ideology comes from the Arabic verb takfir, which means 'to declare someone an unbeliever'. So, the image is people pointing at others and calling them not true believers, and the phrase now describes a radical belief that labels people as 'unbelievers' and often leads to violence.
