I'll be honest, I don't even remember what we're discussing/arguing about.

I'll summarise it. You were attempting to draw out a link between how many Muslims a country allows in/has and how targeted they are for ISIS attacks. So basically countries that have a noticeable lack of Muslims also have a noticeable lack of attacks. To support this, you drew out Eastern European and South American countries.

My point is pretty simple. ISIS will inevitably choose locations they know will have a high impact. There will be several ways this can be determined: political hubs, financial powerhouses, historic or religious relevance, concentration of individuals (native and holidaymakers so they can impact multiple countries at the same time) and general perception of the Western powers they feel have wronged them or are wronging them in their delusional war against the West.

These are the reasons why like Spain, Canada and Sweden/Denmark have been attacked.

I'm not saying that Spain and Norway are nobodies. They're both wonderful countries with wonderful cultures and fascinating histories. And each are certainly big and important regional powers. All I'm saying is that, to the average person in Afghanistan or Pakistan or Iraq, those countries basically amount to: Norway - the Scandinavian country that doesn't accept every Muslim immigrant with a sad story and pouty face, unlike Sweden. Spain - that place that used to be controlled by Muslims.

To the average person in Pakistan and Afghanistan (and bear in mind, ISIS is far closer to Europe than these countries), these countries are lumped together with Germany, UK, France. There are intertwined with the image of the rich and powerful West.

And by your very own logic, this is why countries like Latvia, Hungary, Ecuador have not been attacked. They don't even register on the radar as being worth it.

Whether we like it or not, the global reaction to a train station in Latvia being bombed vs a train station in Spain being bombed would be drastically different. Similarly, a theatre in Ecuador vs a theatre in Sweden.
