IMO, ISIS will eventually be overcome by persistent efforts to wear them down, remove any physical sites, and monitor their online activities. ISIS may be underestimating the non-Muslim will to protect its various lifestyles and overestimating its own ability to do more than create sporadic headlines and occasional localized mayhem through random killing...
Lone wolf? Ah yes, that means they're acting alone and have nothing to do with each other or groups or mainstream Islam, because otherwise they couldn't be lone wolves, right?

I won't address the rest of your post, of course you are spot on, a true keyboard warrior, and everything will be just fine as soon as non-Muslims get angry enough to wipe out the IS.

Here's something to help your cause: CNN still looking for motive, and translates “This is for Allah” to mean “This has nothing to do with Islam.”

London terror attacks what we know - CNN.com
I suppose all the indignation explains why the torch and pitchfork mob are unable to discuss the issues rationally.

They actually do have a definition for Lone Wolf you know:

A lone wolf, lone-wolf terrorist or lone actor is someone who prepares and commits violent acts alone, outside of any command structure and without material assistance from any group.
So rather than you trying to invent your own definition, why don't we simply agree to use this one?
Not trying to invent anything, just didn't feel right to call virtually every member of a fighting force a lone wolf.

The definition you offered makes sense.
