Will the islamism eliminate itself?

Messianic movements (and Islamism is really no more than a messianic movement and the goal is the elusive caliphate) they rise (and it is usually an effect looking for a cause) and they fight others then the members fight among themselves and then everyone in their path will suffer and not just people that do not belong to such messianic movement but also members of the messianic movement themselves. And case in point the very long Jewish uprising against the Romans and the Greeks between around 66CE and 135CE

The end result? Take the case of the very large and well established Jewish community in Alexandria in the first century CE became a thing of the past and the numbers of Jews in Alexandria were not to recover until the early 4th century (See Haas)

I suspect that the same will happen to the recent Islamist uprisings and that it will self destroy and number one victims will be Muslims
