Just curious if I'm the only one that thinks ISIS may be jumping on an opportunity to claim a terrorist/terror like attack because nobody has yet claimed responsibility. For all we know it could have been some demented nut job like we had at the Aurora Theater mass shooting. I think ISIS is looking to gain infamy from claiming attacks they haven't committed. Am I over thinking this horrible act?

At this point, what does it really matter? (Forgive me, I just love saying that, but in this case it is appropriate) Anyone who would take "credit" for a heinous act of terror deserves it. Let them also then deserve the punishment.

Agreed, but I just hate to see ISIS in itself growing in notoriety because someone "liked" them.

It is possible they just want the street cred. It's also possible that they were the ones that planned and executed the attack. At this point, no one will really know for sure until the investigation is complete

Considering the evidence form his social media accounts and other places, no, I don't think they are just taking credit for it. Regardless, ISIS needs to be stamped out before more harm comes to innocent victims as they try and establish their caliphate. Review the history of Islam and the caliphate and you will understand. They don't just take over by war, but by attacks such as this one and establishing themselves within communities and local governments, etc.
