ISIS believes (incorrectly) you can force the Islamic State, much the way Christian Nationalists think you can purge the nonbelievers. And then the heretics. And then the sinners. And then the secret sinners. And then the insufficiently pious.
The path to a global ideological state is to feed the poor and the radicals. A few years of good living and no-one wants to fight anymore.
