Rep. Chabot: ISIS Doesn’t Call Itself the ‘Methodist State’ or the ‘Baptist State’

Chabot: It's the 'Islamic' State, Not 'Methodist State or the Episcopalian State or the Baptist State' (CNS News)

Rep. Steve Chabot (R-Ohio) said he's among the Americans who were "shocked" to hear President Barack Obamatell the nation that the Islamic State is not Islamic.

"You know, they don't call themselves the Methodist State or the Episcopalian State or the Baptist State. They're the Islamic State, and I think for good reason," Chabot told Secretary of State John Kerry at a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

"You know, when Christians, for example, are told to convert to Islam or die, that would seem to fly in the face of the president's insistence that the Islamic State is not the Islamic State. And an indication that he may not fully accept that radical Islam is indeed something that does exist and in fact is growing."
