Essentially, you're saying Muslims killing other Muslims doesn't provoke anything close to the response of a non-Muslim nation, or people's doing far less atrocious acts. That being the case, it is easy to ascribe a motivation to the protests far beyond an objection to civilian casualties.
ISIS is kind of an odd duck as something that had different borders than internationally recognized national boundaries, but those they killed were still considered within their caliphate and therefore their own people. It's weird. But yeah, that's the crux of it. It's much more of an invading force thing.
What I find interesting in all of this is how the Israeli military actions are going to result in the likely end of the Gazan Christian population due to the killing of them and the destruction of their facilities. That this hasn't been more in the media is intriguing to me because neither side of the conflict seems to want to bring it up.
