Are Sauron or Melkor any different from Isis? Sauron and Melkor want global conquest, so does Isis. Sauron and Melkor use barbaric soldiers, and so does Isis. Sauron and Melkor kill innocent people, and so does Isis. Melkor was based on the devil (look at his story and compare to that of the devil) and Sauron was compared to evil itself (I think). The way I see it, Tolkien used examples of evil in the world to create the evil characters in his book, for greater realism. With that, look through history. Hitler had similar ideas to ISIS. In my opinion, these are common ideas of the devil.
