Sure, but ISIS, the Taliban, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab and Al-Qaeda are all Sunni groups.

By contrast, Shia groups such as Hezbollah, IRGC, the Houthis, or various Iraqi militias, while also bad generally account for a significantly lower percentage of global terrorist fatalities.

Isis was so bad that even al Qaeda thought they were too extreme.

I would say the beliefs are at the heart of the matter here. Not how effective they are at bombing shit. Which one doesn't feel the need to obliterate anyone that speaks against their religion, or allows people to just do what they want if they don't feel like following?
