Isis also claimed the gunman "converted to Islam several months ago", without providing more details. Paddock's religion and lifestyle have not yet emerged elsewhere.

The wording of the release is similar to other attacks that have been inspired, rather than directed, by Isis.

Paddock's alleged suicide would also differ from the actions of the vast majority of Isis attackers, who seek to be "martyred" in bombings or by security forces, suggesting he had little, if any, guidance from the group.


not actually sure what they hope to accomplish by claiming every sociopath who decides to take some people with them is one of theirs

Makes ISIS seem like they're larger and have more influence than they actually do.

So far there's been no proof of his radicalization.

They would probably take credit for any tragedy. They would take pleasure in anything that murders innocent people.

I agree. Gonna need to see some proof.

Hah, I'm not surprised. People so readily jump on believing that it's Muslim terrorism all the time that they can be effective terrorists by claiming responsibility for any attacks like this.

is it srsly not obvious to you? ISIS does this to every big massacre. It expands their infleunce and make it sound like they're a bigger threat.
More importantly it accelerates Islamophobia and Muslim hate, which in turn gives them more new members from Muslims converting to their radical beliefs

Well it's not impossible that he converted to radical Islam. It doesn't seem likely but we just have to wait and see.

Right? It's silly that people are even entertaining the idea that it could be true.
