Crime lords have an underground infrastructure decades above what daesh would need. Crime needs an exit strategy, terror doesn't.

Valid point, but have Daesh got a history of working with local non-Islamic sources? In Europe at least, from what I can tell, most of their organisation is based around mosques and communities, although I guess they must get their weaponry through the black market.
