You see, by definition Islam is a religion of moderation and balance. Our prophet has always encouraged balance in our lives, and we are brought up to view Islam as a religion of the moderate. By being extreme and radical you're by definition going against Islam. Thinking you're a Muslim and being one are two different things. I could go drink, have sex, smoke weed, party all night, not pray, don't do any of what Allah commanded me to, etc etc, would I still be a Muslim even if I think of myself of a Muslim? Not really. The five cornerstones of Islam are:
1.Testifying that there is no God but Allah, and that Mohamed is Allah's messenger,
2. Praying at it's time,
3. Giving 'zakah' which means money and food to the poor at specific times with specific rates,
4. Fasting in Ramadan,
5. Going to a pilgrimage to the holy Kaa'ba in Mecca (if capable financially and physically)
If I don't do one these then I'm not a Muslim. Similarly there are several things that if you do you are automatically not a Muslim. I'm not sure if unjustifiable killing is one of them, but it will send you to hell that's for sure. I highly doubt ISIS give zakaah or go to Mecca but even if they do, the entity itself which considers itself Islamic State is not and will never be Muslim because of not only not reflecting Islam's values, but giving Islam a bad image and reflecting what Islam stands against.
Still a Muslim. It goes as a Agnostic Christian whom believes in God and proclaims Jesus as his son and messiah yet does not adhere to the teachings of the church. You cannot deliberately negate the religious status of those who affiliates themselves with terrorists because they partake different interpretations of your faith. A Protestant is still a christian despite it's observable difference with a Catholic whom is too, a Christian.
You cannot bloody well try to disregard the only evidence and source of your faith which is the Koran. They too read the Koran, just because they do not think and act like you do doesn't mean they are not Muslims.And yes, you would still be a Muslim if you drink, have sex, smoke weed, party all night, not pray, don't do any of what Allah commanded me to, etc.

I had a female Muslim colleague who never wears hijab at school. I asked if she is a Muslim, she confidently said yes although she exclaims she's just a bad Muslim (frankly, I saw her twice in a club). She even had all of us to promise not to tell anyone outside the classroom, why? She might loose her head.
You are in complete denial.
M8, if I consider myself Superman, does that mean that I am superman? No, superman can fly and shit. Same goes for Islam and Muslims. If you do not follow what is basically the most fundamental and most important rules in Islam, like no killing, no stealing, then how can you consider yourself a muslim? HOWEVER, if I were to follow the 5 pillars, at the same time as considering myself a muslim, then I am a muslim.
Get it now?

Did you know, that you can win the 1st place of the Stupid Muslim comments by Vegan Atheist in his channel? Read this.
Didn't notice that until now. My fingers are drunk. Pardon me.
ISIS may not reflect your way of Islamic faith but it remains true no matter how hard you try to bend. You'll deny because you are affected. It goes the same with Christians who denies Hitler's christian faith.
Your Five Pillars is analogous to the Ten Commandments. Adhering to the five Pillars is not the essential requirement to be considered a Muslim:
-Muslim of Islamic faith believes in Allah and Mohammed is his messenger
-Christian of Christian faith believes in Yahweh and Jesus as his son and messiah.
-Jew of the Jewish faith believes in Jehovah and his covenant with the chosen people, alone.
Five Pillars, Ten Commandments, Eight Beatitudes or not. Does not matter which parts of the book you conform and neglect. It's about the faith.
This IS a Muslim no matter how radical is his intentions.
If you believe in Allah and Mohammed is his messenger, you are a Muslim. PERIOD
