This is mostly spin. Nice try but very untrue. The caliphate never was a place that people came running to. And no country will get rich on one million income tax per day, let alone if they want to fight a war on that.
The mayority of refugees from Syria live in camps in the surrounding countries, including Turkey. Anti-refugee backlash in Europe or USA does not affect them.
From the immigrants reaching Europe, in many instances only a MINORITY is from Syria. For instance in Holland it is estimated that 20% AT THE MOST are Syrians.
The rest is coming from Afghanistan, Gambia, Nigeria, Egypt, Albania, you name it and these are countries where ISIS has no influence at all. But thanks to the open borders and the invitation from Mad Merkel, many try to get in, simply because they can. ("We are from India. For the last 3 years, we worked in Istanbul, Turkey, to save money. Now we want to try to get into Europe as refugees.")
In recent days I have read lots of articles that claim to know what ISIS wants me to think and how they want me to react. The story that ISIS wants us to turn against the local muslims so that they flee to the promised land, has been recycled over and over again. It has grown a substantial beard. I am surprised that some professor in Canada dares to bring it up as a serious consideration in the light of current events.
I am in total agreement with you on Mad Merkel etc, Zazara but in terms of the BIB:
I posted this 4/5 days ago - it is ISIS themselves specifically stating their aims & objectives. It is not in relation to refugees as such but they have a slogan "eliminate the grayzone". This is courtesy of Wikileaks.
ISIL states how they want you to react and in turn how they want European Muslims to react. It's from the horse's mouth.
one small extract from a 30 page document of their drivel. Now whether the crazy French jihadis ever read this kind of stuff is a moot point."The Muslims in the West will quickly find themselves between one of two choices, they either apostatize and adopt the kufrī religion propagated by Bush, Obama, Blair, Cameron, Sarkozy, and Hollande in the name of Islam so as to live amongst the kuffār without hardship, or they perform hijrah to the Islamic State and thereby escape persecution from the crusader governments and citizens."

In response today a prominent, respected writer :Lets deny Isis its binary struggle and celebrate the grey zone
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/20/isis-binary-struggle-grey-zone-jihadism
"Specifically, the grey zone refers to the sphere of coexistence where Muslim and non-Muslim might live together. Thats anathema to the frightened young men of Isis,"
I had never even heard of the term pre to posting on this thread.
