After you read the Graeme Wood opinion below Google Larry O'Donnell last night's "The Last Word" and listen to his guests among whom was a feminist Muslim woman, the prescient Phyllis Bennis and others who discuss the eschatological or end days 7th Century Muslim religious belief system ISIS follows and why ISIS is not simply an irrational band of thugs. Far from it. They have core beliefs whose etiology begins in the 7th century and they want to keep it for the 21st century and beyond.
You cannot kill militarily an idea but rather must fight it with modern ideas emanating from the Enlightenment to our modern era.

religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is
a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here’s what that means for its
strategy—and for how to stop it.
