What made ISIS unique was. Actually there were two things unique about them. One, they tried to be an actual nation state as opposed to being a fanatical group that controlled a nation. Ie. the Taliban never claimed to be the embodiment of Afghanistan, they just ruled it. Two, their ability to attack and inspire foriegn nationals, many from wealthy nations, to join their cause. The second is the most interesting because it demonstrates that terrorists are just not the poor and disenfranchised trying to gain power, but individuals deeply alienated from society with divine or radical political inspiration.
