Let's all agree on this at least: ISIS IS Islamic...Is, Is, Is!
No, it's not!
Yes, it is!
Isn't, Isn't, Isn't!
Is, Is, Is!
ISIS Is Islamic.
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) used to have a different name: al Qaeda in Iraq.

And we have no problem associating al Qaeda with Islam do we?
Anyway, here is a pretty insightful piece from HuffPo, (believe it or not!) on the matter and I trust this will be the last we hear of it.
Get with it, Libbies.

"...Let us be plain: President Obama's (and Kerry's) basic premise that America and its allies are fighting a deviant, un-Islamic ideology, which must, and can be delegitimized by gathering together the Sunni Arab world to pronounce it "un-Islamic," simply underlines how little they "know" about ISIS -- with which they are about to go to war.
There is no "true Islam" in Islam. There has never been any central "authority" in Islam that could define such a thing. For better or worse (mostly for the better), Islam wears many faces. But paradoxically, there is one contemporary orientation that does make the big claim of being "true Islam": Wahhabism.
