<Hell, I can even envision massively extreme acts (like a suitcase nuke going off in NY and/or other major cities) that may have me lean towards wasting entire terrorist families etc., assuming the existence of reliable proof that ISIS or similar was the source.>

When push comes to shove and it's do or die, the finer points of etiquette are ignored. The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were persuasive. They certainly saved a LOT of American lives and probably Japanese too [by stopping the war].

If each time there was an Allah Akbar mass murder attack there was a tactical nuclear explosion at the most concentrated remaining Moslem sites, it would not be many decades before the "Allah Akbar" was muted. Especially if Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya and Iran became UN condominiums and the oil cash flow funded UN operations instead of Jihadism.

They wouldn't want to get the wrong ones [Sunni/Shite]. That would be like bombing Rome because Henry 8th attacked somebody. He'd do it again to encourage more bombing of Roman sites.
