As of this writing, 22 people have died and 119 people have been injured as a result of the suicide bombing at the end of the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester including an 8-year old girl. ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack although CNN suggests there is no evidence to support this claim.
The fact that ISIS has no compunction about bragging about taking the lives of children should tell us there is a very distinct possibility they were involved. There may have been only one individual who committed this act of evil but the fact British authorities have begun to make arrests indicates he is no lone wolf.
No Islam does not equal terrorism. But there are a critical mass of Muslims, be they affiliated with ISIS, al Qaeda or other organizations, who are organizing these attacks on multiple continents. This is a global problem and it's bloody time we treat it like one.
