He pointed out that at various times, certain atrocities have been carried out in the name of Jesus. This is undeniable. He also pointed out that these acts should not be used to paint all Christians in a negative light. Also true.
Then he pointed out that since that line of thinking holds for Christianity, it should also hold for Islam. On that we can debate.
True however, since the age of technology and information has begun, radial christians predominantly do not kill any more in the name of religion And the other side does

Obama's point, very very obviously, isn't to say that what ISIS is doing is acceptable on any level.
What he is saying is that, in the same way that modern Christians aren't even slightly pro-crusades just because Christianity was involved, modern Muslims should feel comfortable being 100% anti-ISIS despite the groups ties to Islam.
It's also the reason that it makes sense to not call the group the "Islamic State", since its in a part of the world where "Islamic" is considered a very positive adjective; just like it would make since to not refer to a terrorist group in the US "Jesus' Friends" even if that is what they wanted to call themselves.
