Title: ISIS is not Islamic.

 CIA director on ISIS: They aren't Muslims - they're "psychopathic thugs"  (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/cia-director-isis-not-muslims-psychopathic-thugs/)

QuoteCall them "psychopathic thugs" or "murderers," but don't call the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Muslims.

CIA Director John Brennan at an event Friday warned against ascribing "Islamic legitimacy" to the overseas terrorist group, saying that allowing them to identify themselves with Islam does a disservice to Muslims around the world.

    Obama avoids using "Obama avoids using "Islamic" and "terrorism" in the same phrase

"They are terrorists, they're criminals," Brennan asserted during the audience Q&A portion of an interview at the Council on Foreign Relations. "Most--many--of them are psychopathic thugs, murderers who use a religious concept and masquerade and mask themselves in that religious construct."

Yet another learned Islamic theologian, Imam Brennan.

Maybe Obama claims that the Crusades had nothing to do with Christianity; you cant be much more myopic then this.

I figure this is all agenda based, and at the end of the day this kind of self deception will invariably do more harm then good.

Apparently, jihadist / insurgents / extremists / militants / ISIS et al  have got a new collective name: kinetic activists.
