Quora Answer: What Happens after the Defeat of Militants Who Joined ISIS?

The following is my answer to a Quora question: “What happens after the militants defeat those who joined ISIS?

ISIS as an extent political entity, with contiguous area of rule is essentially defeated.  The ideology that gave rise to it is far from defeated.  Groups such as Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Jemaah Islamiyya, and Abu Sayyaf are all still very much active.  As for those fighting for ISIS now, if they are captured, they either face a lengthy process of often show trials, deportations for foreign fighters, or summary execution.  Personally, I do not oppose summary executions.
