There's a reason we are in a cultural, military, and cyber messaging war with a twisted group called IS -- still widely called ISIS, its old name. It doesn't call itself HISIS; they don't claim to represent Hinduism. Nor BISIS; they aren't Buddhist radicals. CRISIS and JISIS would also be incorrect, since they aren't Christian or Jewish radicals, either.
They may not represent mainstream Islam, but they wholeheartedly believe in their evil calling to establish a global Islamic caliphate based on a radical Sharia ideology -- affectionately and simply called the Islamic State.
This diseased breed of Muslim fanaticism shares a common core with the likes of Boko Haram in northern Africa, and the present day Taliban in lawless Pakistani and Afghani regions.

i hate apologist pieces for islam.
they are islam. jihad is many things. al-taqiyaa is manythings. only in the west we sit there are compartmetalize people whentheydo not think this way. they so don’t understand islam it’s sickening. or they deliberately are giving cover to islam.
How could any Muslim disagree with ISIS, Taliban, al Qaeda, Boko Haram etc. since those groups are following Islam as written in the Koran and they are following the examples set by Muhammed in the Hadiths. -Tom
