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.

If she is a hot shite journo, then she should publish the actual links between the terrorst and the actual ISIS organization for all to see.

We will likely never see that, because the numbers wouldn't be impressive.

I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Let's say group B is doing X due to stated reason Y. Let's say individual C starts to agree with group B and their stated reason Y, and therefore does X.

B never directly contacted individual C. Were they

1. Responsible
2. The impetus
3. An inspiration
4. Other
5. Nothing

If 1-3, could they claim credit for individual C doing X?
