What other perspective is there? The Quran dictates what it means to be Muslim, if you don't follow the Quran then you can't call yourself a Muslim. If you commit atrocities in the name of a religion that goes against it's core tenets then you aren't part of that religion, you're just misusing it for justification for your actions.

IS aren't representative of Islam, they just use it because it suits them and they can use it as a method of control. It's no different to the empires of old using religions to get conquered lands to bend a knee.
