Even at the height of their power, cartels operated in the shadows, trying to avoid being noticed. ISIS declared open war on "infidels " and even other Muslims that didn't agree with their teaching.
Not to mention the drive of religious fanatics is greater than those paid by money/drugs.
@cosmic_reign: I think it would surprise you what kind of equipment cartels have access to. I recall Russia selling stuff like submarines to cartels (likely used for trafficking) but still ISIS should win. Even if their numbers/equipment are comparable, ISIS have more feats against actual military forces and their drivin by belief not money.

Yeah, pretty sure you're right! I mean, not like certain Cartels couldn't afford a tank or something.
