'Las Vegas authorities now acknowledge mass murderer Stephen Paddock may have been “radicalized” before his bloody rampage Sunday at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival but they won’t say what species of radicalism the shooter may have embraced.'
So said the sheriff but wouldn't elaborate.

Sorry Talbot, there were so many threads about I must have missed that.
Oh gosh, well I don't know why I did it then - thought someone asked about it so went looking.

Sorry again.
Never thought I would see ISIS and Principled in the same sentence,
If someone were to offer me a bet that Paddock was a radicalised Muslim terrorist, I would turn.

I would turn the bet down.
I'm not sure why people are not prepared to accept that Paddock was just a nutter, with guns.

America is full of nutters, with multiple weapons. 10,000's of people are killed or injured every year. Nobody expected Lanza, in Sandy Hook to have slaughtered 26 people because he was a Muslim.
// Terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank suggests in a Twitter thread Monday that ISIS’s claims seem to be getting less reliable. The group claimed credit for a June attack that killed 37 people at a casino in Manila, Philippines, which appears to have actually been a botched robbery by an indebted gambler. ISIS also claimed, after a British Airways flight at Charles de Gaulle Airport was evacuated last month, that it had planted bombs there. There were no bombs, and the evacuation was due to an unrelated incident. //

There has been a proliferation of alt right fake news sites that will print any old rubbish because they know their right wing nutter audience will believe it.
In the past ISIS knew their claims of attacks had to look credible, or at least plausible, when they knew they were dealing with proper news organisations, they know the level of proof, or the standard of real scrutiny has dropped, and so they have started to make false claims.

ISIS have not given a scrap of evidence that Paddock was one of theirs. If they had any evidence, they would share it. They haven't so in all probability, the claim is not true. But that doesn't really matter when FrontPageMag and Khandro are prepared to publicise the claim anyway, doing the terrorists' job for them.
Gromit....and yet Khandro posted this yesterday :::

"ISIS have claimed him as a convert to (radical) Islam, if it was to be shown conclusively that this was a lie, then ISIS would look both liars and stupid, something they would want to avoid at all costs, and so far they have never made unfounded claims"

As I said, just wishful thinking.
In my mind, rightly or wrongly, he was a crazed gunman acting alone (probably)

It's not like America hasn't been through similar before.

I mean...a girl open fires in a school because she doesn't like Mondays.....that's the mentality of some.
Well duh, of course he was radicalised, the twin towers, Russian cinema/nursery etc.. were all firsts committed by Islamic terrorists.

Much like prisoners plotting ways to injure prison officers as they have all the time in the world there is no doubt that terrorists who want to commit terror have all the time in the world to think of ways to terrorise us,remember Bin Laden dreamt of the twin towers in a grotty little cave.
Jahulaye....your post is jumbled and unclear. Do you think Paddock was radicalized by a Muslim ideology or not ?

If he was, what evidence do you have ?
Gromit for Best Answer.

Thought I may as well put that out there, seeing as this whole thread is based on wishful thinking.
mikey4444

I read that as being tongue in cheek.

Now though, I’m not so sure.
Khandro

Can you or FrongPageNews confirm who in ISIS claimed responsibility.

Just the name would be good.
SP...TIC is sometimes impossible to be sure about here on AB.
What evidence mikey4444? What I said regarding the firsts for terrorising is, I’m not sure why you see it as indecipherable? I’m not islamophobic btw, my first friend is a very knowledgable strict Muslim Who writes about terrorists and she also agrees.
Jahulaye....I was not accusing you of being islamophobic, just not really clear in what you were saying.

When we have a conversation face to face, its easy to tell when someone is being TIC, or just being ironic. But in bald print, its not always easy to be sure.

But, as I said on another of your threads, welcome to AB....we need some new blood on here, every now and then !
Thank you mikey4444, yes I agree, the air always needs a good spray with fresh fragrances I always say.
There’s a kinda fishy undertone to AB this morning. Must be the caviar.
