re: #23 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

If they want to take credit for such an incompetent, pathetic excuse for an attack, good! It’ll just make them look like the jackholes they are. The pants-pissers will of course be in an uproar, but what else is new?

They claim it since it plays well for a number of reasons:
1) To their local followers, who can’t follow-up on the facts they can say, “See! We are attacking the United States in their home ground.”

2) It might cause further anti-Islam moves by the US government, media, etc. as it the wont of the RWNJ factions. Possibly to the point of more anti-Islam violence occurring in the US. ISIS views this as good as it helps them recruit followers and is something further to point out as the US being anti-Islam and thus deserving of jihad.

The extremists live off each other since both fit the stereotypes they want the other side to have and are vocal enough to easily appear to be the majority voice of the other religion.
