EDIT 7/15/16:
So it seems many have jumped the gun and assumed that ISIS was behind this attack (including myself based on the original rumors and speculation). However, the latest reported by USA Today is as follows: "French prosecutor Francois Molins said Friday that the driver of a truck that plowed into a crowd of seaside spectators in Nice, killing 84 people, was a Tunisia-born Frenchman who had a petty criminal record but was not known to any intelligence services, local or national, as having links to radicalism."

It seems that no matter what words come to mind (barbaric, inhumane, animal-like, etc), words have trouble capturing the extent of the the disaster that ISIS is creating in the world. My heart sobs and my stomach churns for the people who experienced a loss due to the terrorist attack in Nice, France. The world needs to address this ISIS catastrophe ASAP!!!
Regarding people who are tying in the entire Islamic faith and global muslim community and holding the Islamic world accountable for this attack, as a Muslim I have to say, these terrorists don't use Islam as the REASON for the terrorism, they use it as the JUSTIFICATION. There is a difference. Reason means that Islam told them to do this. Justification means that they decided to do this and justified it to themselves and the world that its because of Islam. There is no place in Islam for something like this. This is absolutely, unequivocally NOT allowed in Islam. The terrorist killed both Muslims and non-Muslims alike as there were reports of women in scarves lying dead on the streets in the aftermath of the attack. There is no Islamic scholar that teaches or approves of this action. Read this statement that was released after the Orlando attack by dozens of islamic scholars and hundreds of members of the Islamic community that undeniably and unequivocally condemned the attack: http://orlandostatement.com. There are going to be further condemnations coming in from across the globe for this attack from all communities.
Remember that Islam has been in Iraq for many centuries. Yet ISIS did not exist at all anywhere until after the Iraq war. As they say, extremism and violence breed extremism and violence. Instead of blaming ISIS on the entire Islamic world and all Muslims in the world, we need to understand more critically what lead to the creation of ISIS and make sure that once the world is rid of the cancer known as ISIS, no group like ISIS must ever emerge again. Also keep in mind, that the vast majority of the victims of ISIS are in fact Muslims.
