Muslims want to take over the world . Muslims hate this that the other. There is the possibility that among these militant groups that many classify as religious radical fundamentalists are those who have no religious or ideological slant. Why are they fighting?

ISIS have been very shrewd in not going too far, they are fully aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Im not so sure ISIS are surrounded by enemies as they must have supply routes open to fuel their army. While they have large taken military supplies left behind by the Iraqi army they would need to be able to buy things like ammunition and fuel.

It was the reforms that Taraki's government tried to impose on Afghanistan which got the conservative tribes riled up and started the ball rolling in Afghanistan's descent. Perhaps you should take a look at the arms that most of the forces in the area are using. I'll give you a hint, most of them are supplied by your buddies, the russians and chinese.

They know if they can provoke a large scale reaction, by burning people alive, it would involve a hammering from the air first and foremost. ISIS fighters would run like **** to their bunkers and caves until the initial 'softening' up abated. Then, when the bombing subsided, these guys would be out with Hi-Def cameras filming dead children being dug out of rubble. Within hours they'd have it slickly edited and all over every Islamist website on the internet. Cue thousands of disgruntled young men all over the world signing up to fight, local populations rallying around the resistance, millions of dollars pouring in from Saudi and Qatari benefactors, perhaps reprisals from extremists in the EU and everything becomes exponentially worse. Want to hand these guys a propaganda victory like that? Or maybe, just maybe, it would be better to let them stew in their medieval ****-holes so that the rest of the region can see just how bad their lives could get if these guys gain support/ground.

The perverted terrorist organization the Islamic State (IS/ISIS) has put captured female sex slaves from the Iraqi ethnic minority on sale and has also released the age wise price list. According to a document issued by the ISIS, Christian and Yazidi girls, aged between 1 and 9, are up for grabs for $172. Girls that are 10 to 20 are sold for nearly $129, while those aged 20 to 30 are sold for about $86. ISIS sex slave price for women that are 30 to 40 is about $6 and for those aged 40 to 50, it is $43. Slaves are not listed as women – they are labelled as Merchandise.PRICE (in Dinar) MERCHANDISE 200,000 age 1-9/Yezidi/Christian 150,000 age 10-20/Yezidi/Christian 100,000 age 20-30/Yezidi/Christian 75,000 age 30-40/Yezidi/Christian 50,000 age 40-50/Yezidi/Christian Limit to 3 Sex Slaves with exception to foreign sales to Turks, Syrians and Gulf states. The terrorist organization, that has full-fledged slave markets in Mosul, Iraq and Raqqa, Syria, has cited Islamic theology to justify its kidnapping of women as sex slaves. In October 2014, the Islamic State, in an article in the fourth edition of the ISIS English-language digital magazine called Dabiq, claimed that Islamic law permits its fighters to take religious minority women as concubines.

In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as “not Islamic” and as al-Qaeda’s “jayvee team,” statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.

Given the chance they're a modern Nazi party and all this dithering I fear could lead to far worse scenarios - how long do you leave a bunch of maniacs with a good bit of money and taking in more 'soldiers' and land and resources by the day before they're a danger to more and more of the world? Projection of power is key and these loons have done a good job of starting something ugly in this respect I fear.
