Al Qaeda Claims Isis Too Extreme, Accuses Terrorist Group Of 'Madness' And 'Exceeding Limits Of Extremism'

A senior Osama Bin Laden official claims ISIS is too extreme to receive the support of Al Qaeda and warned against the rise of the terrorist group in 2011.

A 21-page letter was found in a scatter of papers that were recovered during the raid that resulted in the death of Osama Bin Laden.

At the time, ISIS was a small and rising group of extremists. The letter foretells their methods to be ruthless and so extreme that Al Qaeda would not allow ties between the two groups. The letter continued to state that there was a fear that the introduction of ISIS into the world might actually harm Al Qaeda’s reputation by causing the world to believe the two terrorist groups are synonymous.

According to the Daily Mail, some of the horrific acts that Al Qaeda cataloged as acts of barbarism too extreme for them include bombing mosques, a catholic church massacre, and using chlorine gas as a chemical weapon agent.

Ayman al-Zawahirir claims ISIS is overcome by madness and has gone too far in their measures to use lies as their method of creative followers and believers.

“Isis was struck with madness in takfir [declaring other Muslims to be apostates] and exceeded the limits of extremism. They make takfir on the basis of lies, fabrications and even good deeds of obedience…[it is] is political, convenient and opportunistic.”
