And Bush said there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So what? ISIS kills believers of Allah in Syria and other places because it's trying to solidify it's power as a government.

  Once again, the violent extremists disagree with you. ISIS is attempting to start an Islamic Caliphate, considers anyone standing the way of them do so as an apostate, and kills them as such.

    So it's a government trying to solidify it's power? Got it.

      For the purpose of establishing a theocracy to launch attacks on non-believers? Yes.

Like I said, religion is just being used to justify the crime. Like fighting terrorism is being used as an excuse to justify our own crimes (spying on people, torturing people, bombing with drones causing civilian casualties etc.).
