As Obama Sees It, Ayatollahville Is "Islamic" (He Calls It "The Islamic Republic of Iran") But ISIS Isn't. What Gives?

Jay Nordlinger has a go as explaining it:

Perhaps our president regards that dictatorship as genuinely Islamic. I don’t know. But if you can call the mullahs’ regime Islamic — they stone girls to death for the “crime” of having been gang-raped — you should not be too bashful about calling ISIS “Islamic.”

The difference, of course, is that Obama is sucking up to the mullahs' regime (which forces Iranians to comply with an extreme form of sharia) in a frantic and misguided bid to get it to sign a nuclear deal. At present, however, he isn't in negotiations with ISIL.
