Daesh/ISIS aren't confined to the Middle East. Though a lot of what they say about invading the West is bluster, the threat remains. France and England (among other) have a had a problem with Islamic extremism for some time. This ISIS shit just gives the worst of them something to latch onto and act on/identify with.

That's the problem with these groups. "Open admission terrorism" is what I've been calling it. These organizations state that all those who act in line with their aims/actions are parts of the whole, for all intents and purposes. Very appealing to some, and makes branded terrorism international without so much as a plane ticket.
