I've heard the claim "ISIS don't represent real Islam and anyone who thinks they do is an islamophobe" more times than I remember. So, I decided to write down why that statement really doesn't stop people from wanting to cut off Muslims socially and economically.

For the sake of argument, let's assume that ISIS don't represent Islam.

ISIS do think they represent Islam, so according to the earlier said argument, ISIS are Islamophobes.

There are many other similar terrorist outfits ie groups who promote a version of Islam similar to that of ISIS. According to the earlier said argument, they're also Islamophobes.

There are recognized governments who carry out similar punishments in the name of Islam...yes, they're also now Islamophobes.

There are other Muslims who support above said groups and governments. They're also now Islamophobes.

Now, think about this.

How many Islamophobes are there within the muslim community itself if we go with the main premise?

There are millions of Muslims who have a favourable view of groups like ISIS, or don't show any unfavourable opinion openly.
