&gt; ISIS is specifically out for either world empire or apocalyptic defeat<p>Which is why (in my understanding) ISIS does not do attacks on foreign soil. Their idea is to re-establish a caliphate (ei Islamic empire, which existed from around the time of Mohamed for centuries). ISIS would probably be okay with those that cannot join the jihad in Syria conducting a terrorist attack on their home turf, but would not actively plan one.<p>All I&#x27;m saying is I would not be surprised if this isn&#x27;t specifically ISIS.
