The reason ISIS uses the same logic, is because they were part of al Qaeda and had very simular goals.
Attacking the West is cheap compared to the cost for the West to fight back. It's also a great recruiting tool.

Yes, but fighting "the west" only awakens the tiger (as Japan learned) and while it costs us money, it helps to fuel our economy. The more money our government spends on bombs and what not, the more money that is funneled back into the economy.
