Hitlers Germany killed millions of Jews during the second world war and tried to take over Europe. ISIS are doing a very similar thing at the moment.
Should we have buried our head in the sand during WW2 too? After all, the innocent German people suffered from our bombing.

Bit of a silly and reaching comparison there. Germany, at the time, were one of the leading powers in Europe which meant that it was one of the biggest powers in the world.
IS do not have the resources or the manpower to be anywhere near the same level threat as WW2 Germany. They have no allies and no influence beyond the area they control and there's no chance of them ever being able to launch an offensive attack or invasion on western soil beyond their rudimentary terror attacks. Everything else is grandstanding on their part which is why they take responsibility for every and any terror attack going, it makes them seem more threatening than they actually are.
I imagine that IS will fall quickly once the situation elevates beyond air strikes and into a full blown invasion of Syria.
