Further proof, as if any was required, that Daesh is only concerned with terror, and more importantly, with gaining notoriety.  The destroyed tetrapylon and theatre scena have nothing to do with religion or idolatry.  No justification even by the 'logic' of their own twisted ideology.  Nothing but nihilism designed to wind up their supporters.

Call me cynical but more likely:

In maiorem sui gloriam.
