Then why don’t you simply show me which terror claims where ISIS takes false responsibility? Should be pretty simple to assemble a big list if they do it all the time.

Not going to bother wasting my time on you.

This has been going on for the last nearly 70 years.

Terrorist groups lie, make false claims, and deny the very things they do. They lie when it would be easier to tell the truth.

It’s okay that you don’t know this.

I wouldn’t want to admit I as that ignorant, but hey, it’s a free world.

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. Slate
