Pretty sure the videos that the killers took had some Allah talk. It was released by Amaq news, an isis news group. It shows them close up killing a bunch of people in a small corridor and slicing at guys neck on the ground.

ISIS isn't exactly an organization with a robust top-down structure. In case you forgot, that was the whole point of the war in Syria.

Violence does not make an Islamic extremist. I haven't seen any of the telltale indicators of a radicalized Islamic extremist in the videos, but maybe I missed it?
