If they are islamic...they have the correct interpretation of their religion.
Someone with a violent interpretation of something isnt representative of anything.
By calling isis islamic you are giving them legitimacy.
Obama who may have known a bit more than you do on this topic said
"We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam ... They try to portray themselves as religious leaders, holy warriors in defense of Islam. We must never accept the premise that they put forward because it is a lie. Nor should we grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek. They are not religious leaders. They are terrorists."
Saying isis is islam shows someone doesnt know their terminology. Saying isis is islamic shows someone doesnt know much about isis or islamic values and principles.

Where your thought experiment fails is that ISIS is living a version of Islam that is perfectly on par with whats written in the Quran and the way that Muhammad lived his life and is described in various Hadiths.
