Perhaps, but how far will they get? There are Muslim nations that are fighting ISIS, both in military and in talking about their corrupt ideology and explaining how they have gone astray. For example (if you speak Arabic): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb2yAczRc5g

Just because they call themselves a state does not mean they are :)

We try to educate first and bring truce, but yes, sometimes fighting is unfortunately necessary: http://quran.com/49/9
