They actually have rules, police and collect taxes. The people can even bring complaints against the ISIS fighters to their local elders.. Obviously this is only for the people try accept as true Muslims but still it's very strange.
On one hand they are brutal murders then on the other hand they will pay to send their populace to Turkey for medical treatment if their own people can't handle it.

You miss the point completely by thinking the ME and especially Syria is like us.
The region is split tribally and regionally. All vying for power and wanting to convert the other to their way. Assad was murdering Sunnis, were the Sunnis trying to over throw him. Or was he murdering them just because they followed Islam a different way? Look at why the Mayflower sailed to the New World, and the 30 years war for our example of the same thing. You'll find Europe was split over how to worship, tribal wars and Nation Wars right up until very recently.
If given ISIS rule over the whole of the ME or people like Assad, who would you choose. There's no third choice until these tribes stop killing each other or is transforms into one colour.
To give you some idea, this is Syria.
Imagine baptist, presbyterians, protestants, etc. Killing each other over who has the right to rule. Add the different groups or Irish, Italian, German, British, descendents to the mix.
