#1 This is how it works. IS works on the gig principle. You have islamic angst and wanna let loose, you go ahead and do it. If you're successful the IS claims it and you're suddenly a great emir. of course you're dead or in jail but the glory is yours and IS gets the points.

They don't really have the capacity for much except communications online and some payments. Outsourcing the action to willing recruits and guys already trained by any Islamist org. The only activity IS does is attract and convince the wolves to give them credit. I'm sure there's a business term for it I don't remember right now.

#2 It’s just marketing, Dron. ISIS has the reputation of being the nastiest jihadis around, so lots of those not already accredited elsewhere claim the label so they can look kewl, too.

They used to claim to be Al Qaeda, even though technically they were unaffiliated, because those were the videos they used to self-radicalize. Which is different than those who actually were seduced by the silver-tongued professional groomer calling over the internet from the home base in Raqqa/Yemen/Somalia/wherever the latest hotspot might be.
