Well it wouldn't do anything because Islam isn't a monolithic group. In the Sunni sect, there are four major schools of jurisprudence, and each have their centers which would issue fatwas. ISIS is a Salafi group, and they would have no reason to take anything said by anyone other than someone in that movement seriously. As for Shias, the Ayatollah's in Iran and Iraq can issue fatwas, but ISIS and other Jihadist groups that developed from the Salafi's, Deobindi's, and followers of Sayyid Qutb have no reason to take those opinions seriously.

The symbolism of a fataw from any/each would be huge.
Unless the silence is because the rest of the Muslim world is secretly cheering ISIS on.
