No. Not even close. I would encourage you to read ISIS's own publications where they were VERY clear about what they were doing and what they wanted. In short, ISIS wanted to set up a "pure country of true believers" and attack the world around them. They split the world into two parts: dar al'Islam (world of those who submitted/world of the clean) and dar al'haram (world of the defiled). Their goal can be then further summarized into two parts. 1. Through military conquest (as commanded by their religious writings), gain control of as much of the world as possible in order to cleanse it, and 2. Start a war that would be so great, so utterly huge, that it would kick start the Islamic version of Armageddon.
In their beliefs, this final war would result in God physically coming down to put a stop to all evil and usher in an era of complete peace and heaven on Earth. This is why so many of their followers were so happy to kill, they really and truly thought that their wanton murder would play a part in bringing ultimate paradise to all. There is a further belief that those killed during this time would be resurrected in order to have their "sacrifice" repaid so they could also enjoy the new Earth. Ask the ISIS foot soldier about this, and they would firmly tell you that those they killed would not be dead forever, so they were not really killing anyone.
There is a name for this sort of belief system. It's a sort of completely fanatical blood cult that can be placed with other types of beliefs that can broadly be named "utopianists". Their ideas are ALWAYS the same: that they--this select group-- has the ultimate secret to building a perfect utopia, and all those who oppose them are therefore evil. They have gone by many names: communists, various cult leaders, Shining Path, Maoists, Khemer Rouge, Nazis, etc. In the end, their belief systems, no matter their names or claims of "scienece", "dialectict" or "religious decree" always lead to absolute mass killings, every time, without exception.
To juxtapose those who protested/rioted on January 6th...those protesters just wanted an audit of a vote that was clearly manipulated and wished to hold their representatives accountable and have their voices heard. As we now know, the breaching of the capitol building was not done or lead by those people nor did it happen after President Trump spoke, but beforehand. This even has furthen been used by the media to label any and all who differ with their views on the election, or conservatives in general, as evil.
A closing thought: as to those politicians who have been clamoring in the media for our own citizens to treated like ISIS fanatics in our own country, to actually be hunted down and killed...listen very closely and carefully to their words. Read their writings, watch their speeches, pay close attention to what they believe and what their followers are physically doing...
They are utopianists!
