In a Question Time episode (see here), Murray makes the remark: "...and the Islamic State is the Islamic State , it is what it says it is, it is what it claims to be, it is very Islamic and it claims to be a state..."

Note here Murray's claim that ISIS are "very Islamic". His reasoning appears to be that because they say they are Islamic and are doing things in the name of Islam, they must be "very Islamic". That's a very highly-sophisticated and intelligent form of reasoning from Mr Murray.

There is one thing common between the Kharijite Extremists and people like Mr. Murray: Both have a distorted, warped, twisted understanding of Islam.
