Well no one is going to argue that ISIS isn't committing genocide, but...
since ISIS is very much following Islam , doesn't it also mean Islam is genocidal.
" We are misled in a second way, by a well-intentioned but dishonest campaign to deny the Islamic State’s medieval religious nature."
" The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam."

Also..
Will the US/West be honest and also point the finger at Saudi Arabia as culpable in genocide since the Saudis themselves have admitted they intend to genocide the Shia.
" How far is Saudi Arabia complicit in the Isis takeover of much of northern Iraq, and is it stoking an escalating Sunni-Shia conflict across the Islamic world? Some time before 9/11, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: "The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally 'God help the Shia'. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them."

So Kalbani is not some minor Iman . Here is what he said about ISIS:
' THE LEVANT NEWS — Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani, a former imam at Mecca’s Grand Mosque, said IS executions of western hostages were ‘not outside Salafist framework’
A former imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca has said that the Islamic State (ISIS) group follows the same brand of Islam as officially espoused by Saudi Arabia.
Footage translated by British think tank Integrity UK on Wednesday showed leading cleric Sheikh Adel al-Kalbani speaking to the Dubai-based channel MBC about what he believes are the roots of IS.
“We follow the same thought [as IS] but apply it in a refined way,” he said. “They draw their ideas from what is written in our own books, from our own principles.” '
The cleric said that “we do not criticise the thought on which it (IS) is based”
