Jawlani's statement, this is a rough translation. I skipped some bits which aren't important. Important starts from Nr. 8. Starts >>
In the name of God, prayers on the Prophet.
Quran verse about Martyrs.
Sham has been pained by the loss of the wise man, the compassionate the knight etc. Abu Khalid al-Suri. He fought the Nusayris 30 years ago then traveled the world fighting the enemies of God wherever he went. He was the friend of Osama bin Laden and Zawahiri, not to mention Abu Musab al-Suri and others from the leaders of Jihad and scholars. He did not belong to Ahrar or Nusra but he belonged to all the Mujahideen. A man of solutions not a man of confrontations. Oh Abu Khalid how I wish you eulogized me and I didn't eulogize you. May the scholars and poets etc. remember you.
We say to his killers may your hands and your act be damned You & who ever ordered you & who produced Fatwa for you made us miserable. Have you not learned meaning of Sahwat? Sahwat in Iraq are those who stopped fighting Americans & Shia & started fighting the Mujahideen. As for Sham, who is the one that stopped fighting the Nusayris and started fighting those who fight the Nusayris? Should you not wonder? How many positions on frontlines did you fight with people that were fighting there & you didn't take their place or let anyone take it. It was almost impossible for West & agents to create a Sahwat project, but infighting which you caused created a opening (for them). Then the Sahwat project started with "National Army" but have you heard of Sahwat calling for judging by Gods Law in disputes? Then the Islamic State doesn't respond but Sahwat does !?! Why don't you take this chance if you have clear proof that they are Sahwat.
We do not deny that there are groups that are fighting you that have fallen in apostasy. Such as the Coaltion and SMC.And who ever is working on the "National Army" project to install a secular government and to eliminate the Islamic Project. But majority of groups that are fighting you haven't been proven to be apostates. But everything you are saying is just suspicions. And some Haram things that they have done which are not things you can judge apostasy on them.
And here are groups you made Takfir of in ignorance and you made their blood legal, requesting that you & them be judged by Gods law. We put ISIS in front of followers & nation 2 implement God law on ourselves 1st before implementing it on people with no pre-conditions. Conditions you mentioned were legitimate in its origin, but misplacing it where it does not belong makes it void (Gives Hadith example.)
Until preparations of proceedings are done, military ops between us will stop & your Fatwas of Takfeer of other groups will be cancelled. And you will come and present all your proof and even your suspicious to respectable scholars such al-Maqdisi, Abu Qatada, Al-Alwan. Then we take the Fatwa from the scholars and whatever they say will apply to everyone and we are committed to it.
We will wait 5 days for official response from day of this message & if you refuse then you know we have been patient for over a year. A year of infringements, fake accusations, distorting our image, but we ignored this to prevent greater evil and we wavered our rights. You know bitterness you tasted in Sharqiyah & you know that till now we did not leave a single frontline against Nusayris like you did.
And by God, if you refuse the Law of God again and do not stop your infliction on the nation. The Muslim nation will carry your infringing ignorant ideology/ideas and banish it, even from Iraq!!!And you know hundreds of the distinguished brothers in Iraq, that are waiting for the signal. So wake up, O State Group and come back to your Nation, and go back to its Scholars and Leaders.For it will not let you down and it will forgive your mistakes and you will complete with it the Nations Project!
