Theological Aspects of Islam That Lead to Jihad

you will very frequently hear (authorities stating) that
the Islamic state, or ISIS,
a group that self-consciously refers to itself as islamic, and
trying to recruit muslims on the basis of its islamic
authenticity, "actually has nothing to do with islam".

(many national leaders / authorities) agree that what we see in
Jihad terror groups has nothing to do with 'the religion of islam'

..now, 30 000 people have gone, from all over the world, to join
the Islamic State, and they are all muslims.
And they are going there on the basis of their acceptance of the
Islamic state's appeal, on their acceptance of the claim that
it is not only islamic, but quint-essentially islamic
and The only authentic elaboration of Islam.
So who do we believe?

the Western leaders and intelligentia,
that these terror groups have nothing to do with the actual
religion,
or the terror groups themselves, who say that they have
everything to do with the actual religion -
(actually recruiting all these muslims) ?

...Which is the greater threat: jihad terror or “Islamophobia”?
