And isis does not want death to the west. They'd like it, sure. They want to reestablish the Caliphate to usher the end of days. To do that they need a battle with "Rome" at a predescribed place in the desert (Dabiq). They only attack the west so we ensure Muslims stay in their homeland and don't feel secure outside the great Caliphate and to entice a war that will increase their enrollment. Remember, most Muslims worldwide think the US and it's allies are actively trying to kill Muslims and destroy them. There's nothing to rally the battle cry like another US or western occupation.
