The problem I see in the ISIS is how they have created a chimera of networked system from Al-caida (and earlier revolutionary movements), radical ideology (again was seen in earlier revolutionary movements) with local autocrats (ex Saddam's people) and integrated instruments of violence.

While this chimera may not have a true global claim, it could (and probably would) both create a viable local/regional state (arguably it already did) as well as subvert islamic populations globaly, especially if a new wave of international crisis hits.

Global security system is a system for conflict resolution. In the cold war it was based on the MAD between two super powers, post cold war it became based on the perceived universal values and complete US dominance. We know that former is simply false and later is vaning.
More could be seen in this video:

(it is a bit long but totally worth it)

Hence the problem is that, should this unstable system collapse, things would happen.
