This was a rhetorical question - didn’t really expect you would have an answer. Anyhow, if the original point was why do people perceive ISIS=Islam, the answer is because there is no clear condemnation and an effort to distance themselves from ISIS coming from most Islamic countries.

ISIS terrorists are Muslims, they are killing in the name of Islam, and they aim to establish an Islamic caliphate and people still wonder why the perception that ISIS=Islam exists

Who do you think are fighting them in the battlefield? Are they not Muslims? If you choose to be dumb, then nobody can help you. Trust me, ISIS cannot be defeated without Muslims’ help. In fact, none of these violent factions can be defeated without Muslims’ help. The way you pose this question is similar to the way conservatives do in the US. You are trying to put the moderate Muslims, who are the only ones that can help, in a corner. If the West, or for that matter even India, wants to fight these guys, they need to empower moderate Muslims. ( Obama made this very point and everyone is questioning his patriotism; its pathetic )
