Yes, but until 2014, Islam had no caliph. With a caliph, their rules change and according to the Koran, so should their actions. If you are interested in learning about what ISIS may really want and some of the foundations of their cause, here is a good article: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/...-wants/384980/
With a caliph and territory, the rules have been significantly changed and American leadership does not appear to understand it.
I read that article at the beginning of the week, on a another forum, and forwarded it on. It's a great read, and we should be focused on the strategy described by the author.
Isis isn't the only terrorist organization that we need to worry about.
