I just found this on Human Events.  It pretty much hits the nail on the head.

The Islamic State and Islam

What relationship does the Islamic State have to Islam?

“Absolutely nothing” is the answer almost every Western politician gives.   For example, U.S. President Obama adamantly stated in a televised speech that the Islamic State “is not Islamic.”
 
This begs the question: How does one determine what is—and is not—Islamic?
 
The traditional answer, the Islamic answer, has been as follows:
 
What do the core texts and scriptures of Islam say about the thing in question, call it “X”?  Does the Koran, believed by Muslims to contain the literal commands of Allah, call for or justify X?  Do the hadith and sira texts—which purport to record the sayings and deeds of Allah’s prophet, whom the Koran (e.g., 33:21) exhorts Muslims to emulate in all ways—call for or justify X?

It goes into beheadings, crucifixions, slavery and rape, dhimnitude--all "fruits of Islam."

owebuma said ISIS (Islamic State In Syria) isn't islamic and isn't a state. This comes from the same party that told us oral sex isn't sex. If you know your intelligence is being insulted, you are not as stupid as you're being taken for.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

I'm sure the article points out that Islam creates the Islamic State. (it does)
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

        -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 BC (106-43 BC)
