Didn't they attack in France/Germany/Spain some time ago? Or are they exempt from being the spooky West. The use of the term seems to vary wildly so it's tough to figure what it is used for, maybe the world minus Africa and Asia usually 🤔
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.
Thanks for checking. Which countries did you find out then?
Got these examples pulled which does include France still. Don't know about the accuracy
