There is no doubt that if ISIS were to be wiped off the face of the earth today than the incentives for both the cells and lone wolves would be tremendously reduced. The question is how do we fight his other "them".
Folks said that about Al Qaeda and groups before.
There are seriously pathologically insane lunatics who are willing to use Islam as their shield to further their goals. Given credibility by the fact that the Saudis have conned the rest of the Muslim world in accepting their tribal values.
Once these charlatans are given space by Islam to peddle their poison, some other group will emerge if ISIS is destroyed. Look at Al Qaeda, weakened and yet Jihadist ideology is still as vibrant as ever.
They claim that 40% of the Muslim converts in France have been radicalized. Why do they pick Islam to peddle their manic behavior, and not the Catholic church where most of them were baptized in? Why is jail such a valuable recruiting place for these folks? What is it about Islam that attracts these people?
