The American authorities say they do not think it was an ISIS action,if they played any role at all it may have been to sow the idea to act in the way the men did.
It was not an ISIS action,it was home grown.

Just what Gov. Abbott really expects the State Guard to do if this were some kind of threat to the people of Texas is questionable. They really aren't a military organization, and should not be confused with the National Guard.

Learn to read between the lines. Someone claimed to be connected to two crackpots who shot up an event center in North Texas. ISIL, IS whatever people are calling this self-named Islamic State entity, are building a force and hoping to train individuals from around the world to support their cause. Two idiots decide to take offense at a stupid event that the area muslims ignored and arrive to shoot it out. These two aren't examples of a trained fighting force, they're not an example of intelligence. They're doddering zealots who died when the odds were highly in their favor.

Perhaps ISIS spokesmen haven't thought about it and decided to claim the event, but it is just as likely that someone wants to make it look like ISIS is focusing on the US state of Texas and made the claim on their behalf. If the individuals investigating this in the US haven't made up their minds yet, I think we can dismiss UK news sources that make such a claim.

In my humble opinion.

Apparently Operation Jade Helm is going to take place in several states, Texas included.

In 1942, my dad spent some time driving a tank around Louisiana, with The First Armored Division. Not because Roosevelt wanted to subdue the Pelican State. They were preparing for the invasion of North Africa, probably not in the best location. But that's what they were doing.

I sometimes wonder how WWII would have ended if the Republican Party had the attitude they have now.

Al-Jazeera reports the IS claim. That might be thought to be somewhat credible.


Terry - a now deceased friend of mine once asked for an officer to put in writing an order that he thought inappropriate - and spent the rest of his service days being poorly regarded by the officer class. I can envisage that as wholly typical.

It is a fact that ISIS claimed responsibility.
That is all I have said up to now.

CNN this morning,
"The attack fits a well-known pattern of ISIS recruitment and incitement: encouraging sympathizers via a sophisticated social media campaign to join the fight in Syria or, if they cannot do that, to carry out terror attacks on their own at home, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

Simpson appears to have had online ties to a British ISIS recruit thought to be in Syria and an American jihadi operating in Somalia, according to a CNN analysis of tweets exchanged in the lead up to Sunday's attack.

U.S. investigators suspect Junaid Hussain, a British hacker now believed to be with ISIS, might have played a key role in inspiring the Texan gunmen, a U.S. official told CNN.

And a CNN investigation has established that Simpson was in communication via Twitter a week before the attack with a man believed to Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan, an American who traveled to Somalia in 2008 to join the al Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group Al-Shabaab.

Hassan, believed to be tweeting under the name of Mujahid Miski, also put out a call one week before the event to attack the drawing contest for pictures of the Prophet Mohammed in Garland, Texas."

Mind you, the underlying point is that no invisible and imaginary friend should confer upon you any additional rights, liberties, privileges or immunities than apply in general. If your imaginary friend does not like drawings, then don't draw - but you have no right liberty or power to tell others what to draw or what not to draw (save as conferred by the general laws of the land).

You are perfectly entitled to envisage what you like, but having never yourself, been exposed to life in the armed forces and having never had to live under Queen's Regulations what you envisage is pure surmise based on hearsay.

Your deceased friend provided that he performed his duties conscientiously and competently would not have been affected in the least by being poorly regarded by the "officer class" as you put it. Had he served in either the Royal Air Force or in the Royal Navy it wouldn't have matter a toss. In one of the instances where I refused to obey an order, in the immediate aftermath there were times when you could cut the atmosphere with a knife, that was until the chap tasked with looking into it explained his reasons for finding my actions correct and pointed out to all involved that I had saved them all from looking the biggest c**ts in creation before a Court Martial had I complied and blindly obeyed the order given.

ISIS are the people who have set up, by force, an Islamic state or caliphate in parts of Syria and Iraq.
They also encourage other people who sympathize with their ideology to
act in other places.
It was the sympathizers not ISIS who carried out the attempted attack,
there for ISIS are not responsible for the action,they merely suggested it.
Claiming responsibility is part of their propaganda program.

And just because numerous news sources have seen the speculation and reported it doesn't make it true. That's the trouble with news today - see a lie often enough and it must be true. Then you can repeat it with impunity. What ever happened to fact checking?

Yes Keith,no one is disputing ISIS claimed responsibility for the incident.
What we are saying is they did not carry out the attack.
They possibly encouraged some local sympathizers to do so.
Those people could have done the deed anyway,they were not armed or trained by ISIS.
ISIS claimed responsibility to give the impression to the gullible that their power extends to anywhere they chose.
The idea of terrorism is to spread fear and cause disruption to normal life patterns.

I just said ISIS claimed responsibility, "FWIW", and I checked my facts first.

I am really not clear what I am being criticised for.

By repeating the claim even "FWIW" helps to give them credence.
To those of a gullible or nervous disposition it stokes their fear.
By doing so you help ISIS achieve its aim to spread fear.
The way to minimise terrorism is to not to feed it,carry on as normally as possible

No.
The media all carried the story.
It was completely reasonable and unexceptional to mention it in a relevant thread.

I did not deserve all that criticism.
You could have just ignored my posts and that would .have been the end of it.

This was the whole of my first post,
"There was some real ISIS related Texas news."

When that was disputed I just posted, "FWIW, ISIS have claimed responsibility for the gun attack."

Both simple statements of fact relevant to the thread title.

When your first post was disputed,people gave reasons why they didn't
think it was true.
You reposted the subject,when that was questioned,you kept on repeating yourself.
The media will publish anything relevant,it is up to the reader/listener to decide whether they believe it.
You raised the subject, people gave their opinions and said they doubted it was true.
What was the point of labouring the matter?

There was.
