Well, for me neither ISIS nor wahhabism should be considered islamic, if you see the origins of wahhabism, you will see that it is something that goes totally against the direction in which islam walks and was walking for centuries. If you read about wahhabism, you will see that every muslim who doesn't follow every one of the crazy points that make up this ideology (99% of muslims at the time of wahhabism creation, and 97% of today's) are declared "apostates" and their blood is considered unlawful, this means that they can be killed in the first case and declared  innovative in the second. Also as far as I know the creator of wahhabism has not even finished his studies, which has been criticized and refuted by his own brother, and that today there are thousands of refutations of this ideology written by the wise leaders of traditional sunni and shia islam worldwide. Wahhabism also worries about stupid details that have never had and continue to be of no importance in islam

The expansion of wahhabism was a terrible thing, the wahhabis started a crusade in the islamic world, starting from Arabia, they began by taking Karbala, the most important shia city in Iraq and then went on to take the two most important cities of islam, Mecca and Medina in Arabia, where they destroyed tombs and shrines, killing thousands and thousands of people on their way, and enslaving the survivors, all of them were not followers of the new theology, that is, sunnis, shiites, and religious minorities, but the ottomans ended up defeating them. Later wahhabis had essential support from the british that were fighting against the Ottoman Empire, and they conquered Arabia which has since then been known as Saudi Arabia, and adopted wahhabism as the state ideology. After WW2 USA allied with Saudi Arabia royal family creating the beginning of an alliance that defines the Middle East today, the americans ensures the protection of the dynasty and the saudis assure access to the arab subsoil. This explains the longevity of a heterodox and extremely unpopular regime in the holy land of muslims

Wahhabism actually functions as a parallel religion, with its own leaders, its own interpretations of the holy qur'an, its own mosques and political groups. The fact that islam was born in present day Saudi Arabia doesn't mean that the country that exists today in this region is the true representative of islam, on the contrary, they are only there because they disrespect everything that islam preached
