I wouldn't say he is the founder of ISIS, but his policies haven't done anything to help get rid of them. In reality, this is a war that has been going on for centuries. There have always been radical Islamists fighting Jews and Christians. I'm not sure it will ever be stopped, but I believe the US government has been in denial about the problem and hoped if they just ignored it or pretended that it was just "the JV team" that it would go away.

There is a tendency for some to believe that we can rationalize with people like this and sit around a campfire singing songs and holding hands. It won't happen. These people don't understand that. They understand evil, power, submission. They probably laugh at us on a daily basis thinking how stupid we are. If we don't get a new mindset in our government soon I think we're screwed.
