I think your definition of what a Sunni is or isn't is a bit skewed. You can be a fairly secular Sunni Muslim. Not all Sunnis are like ISIS. Over 80% of Muslims worldwide are Sunni.

In fact the most liberal countries in the Muslim world (like Turkey, Indonesia and Morocco) are made up of Sunni Muslims. And yes, Alqaeda as well as ISIS are also Sunni, but I would say they both follow the Wahabi movement rather than mainstream Sunni Islam.
