If you and I imagine a Mafia Boss with millions and now billions of dollars running ISIS this likely is the most useful comparison. That they claim to espouse a cause based on religion can't really be taken seriously when you see what happens to volunteers usually within a month or two.
They are usually either dead in battle or dead because they don't like being drugged with Zolam or disenchanted and wanting to leave and then beheaded or worse for wanting to leave because it wasn't what they expected.
So, either way within a month or so they are dead. For example, even here in the U.S. the Hell's Angels Motorcycle gang members have only a life expectancy of 25 on average. However, ISIS has a life expectancy for new recruits of like 1 month or less the way this whole thing is being run.
So, it isn't really useful to see ISIS as a religion, it is more useful to see the individual soldiers as being idealistic and possibly religious but mostly just suicidal because they don't see a future anywhere for themselves ever.
So, calling ISIS "Suicidal Soldiers" might be the most useful term anyone has ever thought of for this group at a grunt or private first class level.
