Erm... Maybe. The ideology is typically the same at its core, but with the minutiae being a bit different. Ultimately, the bottom line is that almost all terrorist organisations of this type have the same basic goal; to remove whichever opposing force is "interfering" in the running of their country. I'm Scottish, and old enough to remember the Provisional IRA; not much has changed.*
*Ignoring individual acts of terrorism, such as multiple American school shootings or Anders Breivik etc.
Glass the house of Saud. The progenitor of Wahhabism and extremism that they have been funding and pushing through to Western society.
Surgically strike every one of those fucks and the ideology of Islamic extremism will die with them.

Yeah, nah.
They are the ones who crippled global oil prices by limiting production. It was a temporary measure that has led to the collapse or reduction of workforces in nearly every oil-producing country except Saudi Arabia.
Now that production is back in full swing, look at who's still on top.

Ok was just playing with the thought.
But an important question, will the U.S. ever boycott them? They even attacked you on your own soil right?
Also will that have any noticeable effect if not other countries join in?
I don't know much about these things, they could already be boycotted for all I know.
It wouldn't make much difference. Oil is a fungible commodity, mostly, traded on a large international market. We decide not to buy from country X, it just shifts who we do buy from, but doesn't affect the overall market price much.
What mattered was changes in consumption and production that drove down the price for everyone.

Kinda hard to bomb the fanaticism out of fanatics. But, sure, let's try it anyway.
More dakka.
Unfortunately I don't see them losing much if you look at what's going on in EU. And there's no change in sight towards the better at least.
That 1 bomb cost over $300 million. There are better things to do with that money.
There dream of a caliphate stretching across the middle east is over but they will sleek back to the EU and other parts of the world to create havoc and death.
In the minds of some, wiping out ISIS doesn't stop the disease, the disease has already spread, they are just the heart of it. Fighting a losing battle, dealing with militants and terrorists. You can't stop them, as long as they continue to garner support and sympathy despite using their own supporters as human meat shields, terrorists will continue to exist. There will always be replacements, bodies for cannon fodder for our bombs.
