Trump's speech was calm and measured, and he didn't indulge in his usual anti-Muslim demagoguery, suggesting he has been advised there is no evidence that the Las Vegas shooter was a jihadi. It's looking increasingly likely that Isis's claims are a hoax aimed at spreading alarm.

It's important to note that Isis is now primarily a virtual caliphate that delineates its boundaries through deception. Its survival depends on convincing others it is strong, and it will thus seek to project the largest shadow it can, claiming a role in plots it has no part in.

You answered a question I had about whether ISIS has ever made false claims of responsibility. Thanks.
