A key passage:This could fit in a number of threads, but sits here best today.For ISIL, Europe is both a coveted pool of potential recruits and a dangerous counter-model of enduring coexistence.

And, as importantly, to demonstrate and precipitate the failure of the democratic, European alternative to the jihadist caliphate.
