What we are doing by accepting this ISIS claim is legitimizing this killer and allowing him to be seen by others as a socio-political warrior. By accepting he was a foot soldier for ISIS, we allow him to be hailed a martyr by ISIS.

Drop the word terrorist, replace with the word murderer because that's all this man should be remembered for.... A murdering evil scum bag.
