A former Imam of Mecca’s Grand Mosque said that there is “no doubt” that Daesh is a result of Islamic revivalism in the Middle East.
In an interview on MBC channel featured on 22 January 2016, translated by British think tank Integrity UK on 27 January, the leading Saudi cleric Aadel Al-Kalbani said that Daesh is an offshoot of Salafism.

“The thought of Daesh is Salafist. It is neither the thought of the Muslim Brotherhood, nor Qutbism, Sufism or Ash’ari.” These represent revivalist schools of modern Islamic thought.

“They (Daesh) draw their ideas from what is written in our books and from our own principles,” said Al-Klabani in reference to conservative Salafism.

Al-Kalbani indicated that those who criticize Daesh do not criticize its thought. They only criticize its actions.

“We do not criticize the thought on which Daesh is based,” Al-Kalbani added.
