While this is an interesting question - my take on the NRx was it was more anti-democracy then pro-Monarchy. So I think a better question for them would be: if fundamentalist Muslims become a democratic majority (via demographics) and vote in IS or the Muslim Brotherhood would that be a "big win" too? A less hypothetical question might be NRx's take on the state of Iraq's fledgling democracy.
I've seen some NRx support for Saudi Arabia as a Muslim version of their principles, but nothing about the Islamic state.
Yet another case of ideals over loyalties.
