I'm wary of the reaction to this question, and I'm aware that the police have discounted the guy having direct links to international terrorism, but... another Islamic Terrorist?

I think the list of far right mass shootings in the west will probably be in excess of those carried out by Islamic extremists, especially if you include the US.

Yeah, that also crossed my mind when reading that he was 'inspired by' mass shootings elsewhere.

There's been quite a few incidents in Europe in the past few years where it was Islamic Terrorism. so that was my first thought, but you're right, it could be anything he's obsessed with online.
