IS is a state with a nation (and their country, still existing despite all the Trump's boasting, just today mostly in Africa).

Even if you believe the stupid bullshit about "blowback" in case of proto-AQ in Afghanistan 1980s, then IS was created as ISI just to fight the Americans (and all of American allies) in Iraq when it was supported by Syrian intelligence agencies (and run by former operatives of Iraqi ones, when the Baathists and ex-Baathists put away their old rivalries).
