I explained this earlier in the thread. ISIS, and the section of Islam they represent, want to assert their authority over all Muslims. Attacking the West in Europe serves two purposes.
1/ it drives a wedge between modern Muslims and Europeans. This isolates a rival vision for the future of a Islam from their supporters.
2/ it shows who it is that other Muslims should be scared off and thus who they should obey.
The aim of ISIS is to recreate the Caliphate with themselves in control. Therefore they need to dominate other Muslims. That goal is central to their strategy. Jews and Christians are just targets to be converted, subjugated or destroyed.
