If ISIS was created by let's say the West who's to say they won't just create another fighting group once ISIS have gone? It's the one's pulling the strings that need hunting down.
ISIS are a US created fighting unit 'portraying' to work in the name of Islam as part of a western agenda to **** up the Middle East.
Like I've already mentioned supporting the call for mass murder is a view I can't concur with....we must be better than them not stoop to their level.

I didn't miss out the "happily ever after bit" ... probably 'cause this ain't a fairy tale. And I wasn't aware of any agenda
And it isn't a question of being "better". This isn't a popularity contest; and Ms Congeniality is not a prize we want to win. And however down and dirty the West gets ... and you seem to like agendas ... we are only playing by the rules they establish. (As an aside, I wonder how deeply concerned the Russians are about collateral damage.)
A good read for those who are interested in reading about how not to respond to a mickey mouse threat from an as yet weak and inconsequential threat, can be found in Shirer's "The Collapse of the Third French Republic: An Inquiry into the Fall of France in 1940." On May 7, 1936, when the Germans re-occupied the Rhineland, General Gamelin protested that the only way the French could respond was by a general mobilization.
Fear of a weak enemy. That's exactly what ISIS is: a weak enemy whose only strength is our fear, our timidity, our unwillingness to take decisive action.
And what is this "portraying" thing.
"Purporting", maybe?
