Open Letter to Dr. Ibrahim Awwad Al-Badri and to the Fighters and Followers of the Self-Declared Islamic State, a 2014 joint declaration signed by more than 120 Muslim scholars and jurists, systematically refutes the religious claims made by the self-declared Islamic State using traditional Islamic legal and theological argument. Its strength is that it is a primary document representing a broad, cross-denominational body of established Islamic scholarship speaking directly to the group's own claims. Its limit is that it is the signatories' own declaration, an authoritative religious rebuttal rather than an independent academic analysis of the group itself, which should be sought in separate scholarship.
