Is the Islamic State a legitimate form of Islam or not? Certain statements by our government would give the impression that the Islamic State is un-Islamic. This is suggested, so it is argued, in order to avoid the impression that the West is engaged in a holy war directly with Islam.
While the suggestion that the Islamic State is un-Islamic may be understandable from a tactical standpoint, it has been criticized from a strategic perspective as being wrongheaded.
