2	Islam as we know it no longer exists on Earth	Extremist thought emerges from a perspective that Islam itself rejects since it leads people to violence, and this is dangerous to humanity
3	Our organization (i.e. jamā‘a) is the savior of the umma	Believing you are right and everyone else is wrong without dialoguing with them is a sign of extremism
4	The Islamic State is the reality of Islam in spirit and body	When we confront extremist thought, we are also confronting extremism in body
5	The salaf as a time period and way of life is the basis of Islam	The Muslim world needs a renewed understanding of the rights of minorities and practical jurisprudence in order to improve
6	The Islamic State is the reality of Islam in spirit and body	Terrorism is an intellectual disease that constantly seeks excuses and lives by misinterpretations of religious texts
7	Jaahiliyya is a condition, not a historic concept, and can exist in any place and time	Renewal is in regards to discourse, not religion itself. Those concerned need to be cognizant of this or their efforts will lead to ruin
8	Make ready for them all you can of force and of horses tethered, that you may cast fear in the enemy of Allah (8:60)	Terrorism casts a negative and false picture of Islam, which in reality is a religion of love, peace, and tranquillity
9	Our organization (i.e. jamā‘a) is the saviour of the umma	Terrorism is not based on religion. We need to examine terrorists’ psyche to see that the issue is greater than religion

12	Burning prisoners is an established Sunna by the Caliphs after the Prophet  Muhammad ﷺ	Islam has come to promote building and developing the world and has argued that any harm against one person is harm against all humanity
