Obama is right now to say it.
Obama has explained his verbal strategy as an effort to isolate the group. Earlier this year, Obama said its members are "desperate for legitimacy."
"They try to portray themselves as religious leaders ? holy warriors in defense of Islam," Obama said at the close of a summit on violent extremism Feb. 22. "That?s why ISIL presumes to declare itself the ?Islamic State.? And they propagate the notion that America ? and the West, generally ? is at war with Islam."
Obama went on to say "we are not at war with Islam. We are at war with people who have perverted Islam."
This wording isn?t all that different from former President George W. Bush?s language following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and at the onset of the war in Afghanistan.
"This great nation of many religions understands, our war is not against Islam, or against faith practiced by the Muslim people. Our war is a war against evil," Bush said in January 2002.
