ISIS want to provoke the west into getting their boots on the ground because they have a messianic vision of bringing about armageddon by fighting Western troops on ‘Caliphate’ soil. Everything they do is geared towards furthering this agenda.
Meanwhile we quake in our boots while we stay out of malls and restaurants, fearing the next attack.
Yes and no. They’re only doing this because we know that we won’t mount a full resistance and even if there’s a bit of resistance, it will be unsupported because none of our leaders will resist. So this means we’ll look weak and easily defeated, which unfortunately will be the case.
We have no leader. We have a pro-Muslim president, pro-Muslim European leaders and even a pro-Muslim pope.
