But I find it odd how she noted her "50 examples." I have no idea how she made any determinations about it. It's more scientific than a lot of the junk, but still not very scientific.
She included "sympathetic to ISIS" as a criteria. Considering that ISIS is the hot shite for Sunni terrorists, this is going to rope in a huge number of attacks, and attributes them to an organization that may not have had any actual involvement. It's dumb.

I'd also like to point out that ISIL doesn't have membership cards. Only requirement to be in ISIL is to claim it. So even that criteria is too broad and that totally explains how she can make her claim of 47/50.
If an terrorist has no actual connection with ISIS, then they've exhibited no control over his operation. Meaning their claims to credit for the attack are extremely strained.
We would never agree to this standard for other situations. Just terrorism.
