no one disputes that ISIS as a group did this, but they have plenty of people inspired by them whom they are directing to conduct attacks and obviously their adoring fans stateside are answering the call.
so what's the difference?
You're right in that they have people who look up to them all over the globe. My point is that their claim is so loosely worded that basically they are going to take credit for any bad thing that happens to the US. I bet they'd like to retroactively take credit for hurricane Katrina.
This guy was mentally disturbed first and then when he decided to do harm THEN said it was because an allegiance to ISIS. I'm saying ISIS and their agenda probably didn't motivate him at all. I could be wrong and we will see as things unfold more. It's starting to look more like he was mentally tortured by being a gay man trying hard not to live a not very life, then taking out this internal conflict on others.
Like I said though... we will see as more comes to light.
