Who is helping ISIS "win"?

Hypothetical situation: The KKK goes and, idk, bombs an airport killing innocent people. Then a prominent black figure (lets say Obama, Sharpton, Oprah, whoever) gets up and publicly says, "the KKK are terrorists and we need to wipe them off the planet." Then the KKK brings me a video of them saying that and says, "see they hate us!!! Join us so we can fight them!!!" I'm pretty sure I'd be asking why bombing an airport full of innocent people was a good idea instead of joining their club. Personal responsibility and critical thinking is pretty important. I bet a lot of these people joining ISIS would do so anyway, no matter what "right wing conservatives" say. 

And that makes sense when you reduce it down to a specific, pocket event. Now expand that to several million people over a thousand years and spread that across thousands of miles. Remove the video and newspaper stories, the only account of any event comes from what someone tells you as a story that gets passed down for decades.

Stuff gets a lot more complicated than just A event led to B response.
