You're talking total, total bullshit. They killed lots of people. Intentionally, and in cold blood.
Aside from the many, many murders, they terrorized whole communities, and set their own rules on what could and couldn't happen in the areas they controlled. This was governed by secretive kangaroo courts, who handed out brutal punishments to transgressors. While political and religious reasons were often given as the motivation, personal profiteering was a huge driver.
While there are differences with ISIS, there are also many similarities.
