Germany, with a large Muslim community and the history of political disagreement on the issue of immigration muslim-- militant group considered as one of the strategic targets, despite the country's good reputation about tolerance. The dedengkot ISIS in recent months asking supporters to carry out attacks in Germany in various ways, including using the 'weapon' that is not as common as the truck - with the aim of creating an anti-Muslim backlash.

That certainly would make the Muslim community increasingly cornered, but for ISIS it is luck. By dividing the European community and the Muslims, they would woo Muslims undecided on track 'jihad' - in this version of ISIS.

"Although Germany only plays a minor role in the efforts of the anti-ISIS, but the country is one of the most important in Europe Barat-- makes it a good place to sow discord between the Western alliance," said Paul Pillar, a former CIA counterterrorism official once senior researcher of the Center for Security Studies, Georgetown University, as quoted by the Washington Post, Wednesday (12/21/2016).

"The specter of refugees attacked their hosts, in a country that has opened the door for the arrival of Muslim immigrants in large numbers, can intensify the anti-immigration sentiment, not only in Germany, but also elsewhere in Europe."

Some counterterrorism experts claimed skeptical of the claim. Moreover, unlike the previous incident, in which the actors 'die', Berlin truck driver fled from the vehicle and mingle with the crowd.

"Easy to say, 'This is ISIS,' but dalampenyelidikan, you have to question everything and explore all kinds of possibilities," said Ali Soufan, a former FBI special agent supervision. "We have adhered to the evidence."

In November 2016, the French mediaberbahasa ISIS called on Muslims in Europe to emulate the terrorist attacks July 14 in Nice, France - where Tunisian man crashed his truck along the crowded beach and killed 86 people.

Meanwhile, in 2015, an article in a magazine in English ISIS Dabiq, warned that terrorists will begin to target the West with the purpose to provoke a reaction of Muslims who live there.

"Muslims in the West," the article said, "will soon realize their position between two options: they are 'apostate' and adopted the religion (West) or moved to a country ISIS to avoid retaliation."
