This article is a very good read on ISIS:

It explains, more or less, that the caliphate is living out an ancient Twilight novel - with the over-simplistic plot line and pathetic credibility gaps like a teen novel trilogy (made for people whose brains are forming yet still defective) that only morons would find interesting - this fantasy involves a battle with an invading army at the town of Dabiq. The army is supposed to be Romans, everyone riding horses, and it is a milestone on the way to the apocalypse according to the script they are following.
Dabiq is on the border of Turkey and Syria. (from the article)

Following the beliefs of an ancient book makes them predictable. Why not let them have their wish? More like death wish.
If we want to get rid of them, and prove that god was never on their side, then we should formally agree to meet them on the plains around Dabiq. Then when they gather, JDAM them.
If the events surrounding the caliphate don't play out like the plot of the book, then even zealous supporters will need to review their beliefs. Doubt will creep in and the whole hollowed out core of once-humans will collapse.
According to the pulp fiction, there will only be 12 caliphs and al-Bagdhadi is number 8. Kill 5 more leaders and the plot line is over.
To attack them alone will not solve the problem. To defeat what they believe is to attack the schwerpunkt of their ideology. If the story does not go as planned, the whole enterprise was a lie.
Their moral belief in the script of an ancient book being true is their source of strength and biggest weakness. Exploit them.
