This is basically true. ISIS needs an enemy and the West is a really good enemy for their propaganda. I assume their hope is something like more and more Muslims will flock to them because we all hate the decadent west and its pornography and lack of drowning people in swimming pools.

Considering the pre-existing tension regarding Muslims in France, not to mention elsewhere in Europe, an attack like this seems largely counterproductive in any long-term sense. The backlash against Muslim immigrants was already going strong, and I don't see this helping.

This is also going to drive younger muslims to think ISIS has their best interests in mind.

This is pretty large, and almost definitely state backed. France is going to fry some fuckers.

Mumbai was dozens of attackers IIRC, this seems like it was just 5 or 6 guys. I wouldn't be surprised if this was all planned and enacted internally among just that small group. Most likely ISIS inspired but it might not be 'sponsored' or backed in the sense most people are thinking of. ISIS doesn't need to back anyone in terms of resources, they can just broadcast their rhetoric and propaganda and people who agree with it can act on their own. Which is scarier tbh.

Don't people understand that this is kind of the goal? More hatred and such just make radicalisation easier. The minds behind attack such as these are not trying to better the lives if muslims across the world.

I just meant in terms of the Muslims already living Europe. I suppose that by making conditions for them even harsher then Islamists may hope to radicalize and make use of them.

It's just sad that thanks to various mistakes of history that one branch of the mythology of the ancient Middle East is still causing so much trouble. At least Christianity has become a little more denatured and senile over the years.

If anyone wants to learn about where all this (mostly) started -- including the events that radicalized much of Islam -- look into what Europe did post-WW2 re: drawing boundaries in the Middle East
