BANGOR – Horror author Stephen King says Islamic State is a “rogue cult” and that the group’s bombings will eventually lead to its undoing.
King made the comments via his Twitter account on Tuesday morning in the aftermath of a suicide bombing attack at an Ariana Grande show on Monday night that left 22 people dead in Manchester, England.
ISIS: A rogue cult that has substituted superstition and murder for spirituality. Every bombing hastens the day when they will be no more.
