IS wants them out of Syria.

IS wants their land and wealth.

IS wants the West to be more confused and more tied up in knots.

IS wants careless people in the West to automatically reject Muslims and Middle Easterners so that there can be more political infighting and strife in the West.

IS wants to increase anti-Muslim sentiment to increase their recruitment.

IS wants you to believe that heavily screened refugees are a terrorist threat whereas in fact IS uses home-grown and born recruits in the countries.

IS wants you to ignore the fact that lightly screen tourists and students are much easier to "slip in" than refugees, so they don't use refugees.
