It's a broader question than who is against ISIS, though. Al Qaeda is against ISIS. This does not make them moderate or somehow part of the solution.
I'm basically just shilling for the Muslim Reform Movement at this point but they're basically the Muslims saying "don't listen to those people. They are crazy and everything that is wrong with our world", and they're certainly fighting it by questioning the doctrine. That's good. We all need to continue empowering them and lending additional support to that message. The fact that those people all have legitimate security concerns, or that Maajid Nawaz gets death threats for saying "I am not offended by a cartoon of Muhammad", or that Ayaan Hirsi Ali had to have RPG-proof glass installed in her apartment, and a huge contingent of people consistently take the view that they are the problem (rather than the people stoning adulterers) should indicate to you that this conversation needs to go on until these minority anti-human-rights views are rendered effectively inert.
