Conclusion

ISIS with its new methodology has deviated or follows a methodology that contradicts the methodology of the Salafi Jihadis, and it is not an extension of it ... !! And the point of difference between them and those Salafi Jihadis whose statements they claim to adopt is that they did not remain within the boundary of unity with them in issues of individual Ijtihad (opinion), rather they went beyond that to the point of declaring as innovators and defaming those who disagree with them .. ! And this is something the elders and leaders who they claim to follow have never done. And were they weak in their religion or were they cowards who do not proclaim the truth?!

ISIS has themselves fallen into matters that they stated as reasons for accusing others of deviance! And if they say that we have changed and have withdrawn and freed ourselves from those words which we used to say, then we ask them - "Were you deviated in your Manhaj when you used to make those statements?"

It would be obligatory on ISIS to consider both the two Al Qaidas (that of Usama and of Ayman) as equal and that both of them have deviated based on those reasons for which they attacked Al Qaida of Ayman, because the very same issues were found in Al Qaida of Usama!

If we take the words of ISIS then we will arrive at the conclusion that all the well-known personalities and leaders of the Salafi Jihadi movement are deviants. And if a person is saved from the first reason which ISIS stated, then he will find himself under the second reason. And if he is saved from the second reason, he will find himself under the first reason .. !! So in this way they have destroyed the Salafi Jihadi methodology and attacked its iconic leaders. And they are in reality upon a new methodology, not the same one and it is a mistake to say that they are part of the Salafi Jihadi movement.

And our final supplications are that all praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of all that exists.
