Clearly these people care a lot about Islamic values...
How should you know? I think it's arrogant for us non-Muslim to claim that that and that Muslim doesn't follow Islamic values. Let Muslims show in act and speech what Islamic values are, and then we can choose what we think about them.
I remember reading a few studies that showed that a large number of Islamic terrorists/militants/whatever-you-wanna-call them had a rudimentary and highly simplistic understanding of Islam, at best-and increasingly influenced by a number of notorious clerics (or even actual terrorists like bin Laden or al-Zawahiri), particularly the ones who have built large followings online and on social media. And many of them were not even particularly religious before they became radicalized. And there's also the matter of
this phenomenon-with the relevant part for this discussion being the view that "it's OK to break any rule in Islam while fighting enemies of Islam."Clearly, they're not "following Islamic values" in many cases-
putting aside the obvious fact that they're massacring thousands of innocent people, including lots of fellow Muslims.
And anyway, if you haven't already noticed, many Muslims-prominent or not-have condemned the likes of ISIS in the harshest possible terms. Hell, even a lot of people in al-Qaeda were unconformable with them! That should tell you a lot...
