Yes, it was! The tactics that ISIS is using and their behavior is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN BY THE LAWS OF HOLY WAR AS SET DOWN IN THE KORAN! Was 8th Century Islam enlightened by modern standards? Not even remotely! However, modern Islamic extremists have perverted and corrupted the Islamic religion in horrible ways that would appall the early leaders of Islam and their followers.
