ISIS media agency Amaq has claimed the two larger shootings in recent US history, the Orlando gay nightclub shooting and now the Las Vegas Music festival shooting. In neither case, however, did #ISIS provide proof.

6) Tho rare, Amaq follow-up claim was needed on #ISIS' part: currently no known radical religious element to Paddock's background

SITE Intel is reporting:
It is a rare event that the the ISIS news agency Amaq releases a follow-up statement i.e. it’s follow up about Paddock purportedly converting to Islam. Prior to the claim ISIS supporters didn’t suspect a connection to the group but ISIS linked Aswirati Media was already posting celebratory images. ISIS is doubling down on its claim for the Las Vegas jihad attack as a Amaq statements being further disseminated in different languages. It’s not clear if its a promise for proof or a threat, a pro ISIS message states that those saying “it has nothing to do” with the attack will “regret” it.

They don’t need to provide “a proof.” Apparently, from THEIR perspective terror works and they will EXPLOIT any attempt to their propaganda advantage. If that particular attack was done by “their man” or not is totally irrelevant. Because it WAS TERROR and successful like hell. Does anyone have slightest doubt about that?
If people believe their BS, then it works.
What you just wrote could just as easily be applied to the F-I_B in the 21st century.
If Trump choked on a cheeseburger, ISIS would take credit for it.
ISIS and Hamas both claimed credit for the Jerusalem attack in June, but Israeli officials found no connection to either group.

Even assuming that ISIS has no connection to the horrible Las Vegas event and the CRAZY shooter, which is likely the case, the fact that they are trying to claim responsibility, probably to assist them in recruiting other CRAZIES, is evidence of how significant our war is with these radicals of the Islamic world. They must be eradicated to save all of us non-Muslims from their wrath. Though I wonder what could have been done to have kept the lunatic shooter from managing to get any and so many rifles into his hotel room, I also suspect that we may find out that his motivation was based on his purported ultra liberal, antifa, anti Trump beliefs and conduct, and might have been his sick form of protest against our President; the fact is that people like him are taking the constitutional right to protest, as we have seen at Berkeley and other events in a violent direction, and this conduct must be stopped before this country turns itself inside out. Clearly, we live in a dangerous world, and we must get back to treating each other as equal American’s and together face the world which now has many demigods ready to destroy our wonderful country. That, to me, is the reality.
At 64 Paddock seems a bit old for these types of jihadi massacres. I don’t recall any of them being anywhere near his age. He does not fit the profile at all. A nutjob, to be sure, but killing for ISIS?
Stranger things have happened. Look at the young chick he was shagging. A mere 62 year old.
I totally agree with you.
IS has nothing to do with the massacre but does IS understand we can bring terror to them, any muzzrat can be kidnapped and slaughtered.
Whom to believe? The corrupt liars in the F-I_B or the Islamic State? Maybe Molly Norris can provide an answer — if she hasn’t already been fingered by muslums in US law enforcement and murdered.
true americans must trust the FBI. It has nothing to do with islam. Don’t make stupid moves, be quiet and everything will be ok
What country are you from? Only editors trust their government. Even some imams can be corrupt and revel in the power of position.

It rained really hard where I live two days ago, and we had some flooding throughout our town. ISIS has claimed responsibility….those b@st@rds !!!!!
What if he really was some kind of secret convert to Islam? Haven’t lots of Western men joined the Islamic State and fought in Iraq and Syria?
Ban Muslim immigration …..
Hmmmmm. No one has mentioned that the shooter may have been the victim of mind-control or brainwashing of some kind. Because no other reason can be offered, because he is so un-stereotypical, mind-control should be considered. The old Russian KJB and the North Koreans are experts at this.
