The desire to set up a worldwide caliphate by violence is an idea that goes clear back to the Koran. Its implementors come and go. ISIS is the latest. There will be others.
Anyway, it's just one example. Could have said the same thing about the Jonestowners -- lots of people wanted to leave but the leadership was fanatical and could not be reasoned with. Like Boko Haram. Or Al Shabaab. Don't have to reach very far in history to find such a thing.
