The people supporting and funding them now are suní states who are allies of US, like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc. (along with the US and EU goverments themselves in the past). So bombing their supporters, as some have suggested, is not possible because US and EU won't bomb themselves, nor their allies. The only hope is that the Kurds (the only leftist force in the region, who incorporates and respects women in equal conditions) can stop them with help of UN troops (but again, being the Kurds a "people without state" that spreads through Irak, Afghanistán and Turkey, will raise the question of their national sovereignity, with the claims for a Kurd state causing new conflicts in the region).
