    Didn’t they attack in France/Germany/Spain some time ago? Or are they exempt from being the spooky West

      Spain? No. A Spanish politician said it was indirectly the responsibility of ISIL, but ISIL mouthpieces just said Spain deserved it.

      France? Predominantly lone wolf attacks, not a lot of confirmation that they were ISIL, often they were called “suspected ISIL members”.

      Germany? I can’t find anything about ISIL/ISIS attacks on Germany.
