Good question. I was reading an article this morning that mentioned this. I haven't thought about that but it makes sense.

The extinction of ISIS
Some argue that Muslim religious authorities ought to excommunicate ISIS, and that would solve the problem. Though rather rare, excommunication has taken place in Muslim history — but not on the grounds of sinful actions, grotesque though they might be. Criminals can be punished or fought against, even killed; but traditional religious authorities insist such criminals must still be recognized as Muslim, unless they repudiate core Islamic theological beliefs, like the unity of God, for example. Ironically, it is heterodox movements that regularly resort to excommunication for non-theological reasons – indeed, ISIS appears to do that regularly.

Well, Muslims don't go to church. They have mosques and specifically, Mecca. But yes, they should.
They should make a very big, public denouncement. The House of Saud can afford it alone without even tapping into the resources of other Muslims. But they're just a bunch of OPEC pricks who probably don't care. You live as a prince in Riyadh and the rest of the world doesn't really exist.
