to it. And due to this, it cannot be said that the one who does not make Takfeer on them has contradicted the Ijmaa." (1)

In fact one of the Imams of the Najdi Dawah Sheikh Abdullah Abu Batheen said "If a group abstained from any of the symbols of Islam, then they should be fought, even if they are not Kuffar or Mushrikeen and their land is the land of Islam". (2)

So consider his words "even if they are not Kuffar"! That means it may happen that they are an abstaining group while they are still Muslims.

Summary:

We will find that all those (above) are either deviated from the Manhaj (including some of the well-known iconic leaders of Al Qaida of Usama) or that they are justifying deviation to the people and have made it acceptable!!

Turki Al Bin'ali wrote a book called "Al Qilaada Fee Tazkiyath Sheikhina Abu Qatada" and he gathered in it the sayings of the Sheikhs and leaders of the Jihadi movement in praising Abu Qatada and he included amongst them Sheikh Al Zarqawi, "Abu Abdullah al Muhajir" and Sheikh Faris al Zahrani and Mu'ejib ad-Dourusi. And Bin'ali forgot to add Kareem al Mujaati who said "Sheikh Abu Qatada is the one who taught me my Aqeedah", (3) and he forgot to mention that Sheikh Abu Mus'ab al Zarqawi had quoted from the speech of Abu Qatada more than once in his statements!

And so if ISIS represents the real extension of the Salafi Jihadis then why did these people not accuse Sheikh Abu Qatada of deviation for example, or condemn those who considered Takfeer on the individual members of the group to be an issue of difference of opinion?!
