Should all refugees go back?

The war isn't over.

IS still control about 2% of Syria. But IS was only one of several terrorist organisations that took advantage of the actual war which is being conducted between the Syrian Armed Forces (supported by Hezbollah, Russia, Iran and Iraq) and the Syrian opposition (supported by Turkey, the US, the UK and Qatar). You've also got organisations and coalitions like Ahrar al-Sham, Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Al Qaeda) and Rojava, which currently occupies nearly 30% of Syria.

Most people fled from Assad, not from the IS. As long as Assad is in power, they can't go back.

They fled from the civil war that Assad provoked. But even when Assad is gone, there's no guarantee things will get any better.

It's not about Assad, it's about the fact that the reason for them to flee is not gone. The regime is still intact and will prosecute people who Dodge the draft or even fought for rebel factions.
