I think ISIS has a real tiff with Western Culture and history. They view TODAY'S west as Christian Crusaders from the middle ages. Chinese and Indian cultures didn't bother with that area of the world back then so that's why ISIS leaves them alone now.
ISIS wants to recreate the glorious middle ages of battle between good (islam) and evil (the crusaders).
What they don't apparently know is the crusaders have drones, icbms, jets and carriers. ISIS have Kalashnikovs basically and RPGs.
