Ideology of the Islamic State information

The ideology of the Islamic State, sometimes called Islamic Statism, has been described as being a hybrid of Salafism, Salafi jihadism,^[1]^[2] Sunni Islamist fundamentalism,^[3] Wahhabism,^[4]^[5] and Qutbism.^[6]^[7]^[8] Through its official statement of beliefs originally released by its first leader Abu Omar al-Baghdadi in 2007 and subsequently updated since June 2014, the Islamic State defined its creed as "a middle way between the extremist Kharijites and the lax Murji'ites".^[1]^: 38

Important doctrines of ISIL include its belief that it represents a restoration of the caliphate of early Islam to which all Muslims are required to pledge allegiance;^[9] that a "defiled" Islam must be purged of apostasy, often with bloody sectarian killings,^[10] that the final Day of Judgment by God is near and will follow the defeat of the army of "Rome" by IS;^[2] that a strict adherence to following the precepts "established by the Prophet Muhammad and his earliest followers" is necessary, surpassing even that of other Salafi-Jihadi groups.^[2]
