So yeah has a drug and mental illness background but once again this was inspired by that religion.

For mine, you dont need to be officially affiliated with a terrorist organisation to be a terrorist, if you're inspired by political or religious beliefs then you are a stuffing terrorist!!
 If a christian came out and killed multiple people bc he wanted to punish non christians or felt persecuted, then he too would be a terrorist. If a random nutjob whether he be white, black, muslim, buddhist or christian kills randomly bc hes mentally ill but isnt inspired by religious or political beliefs, then hes mentally ill and not a terrorist.

Why are the media and many on the left so quick to try and play down any terror links when a muslim has committed a crime? In the article they are still denying any terror links bc they can find any official affiliation. You dont need that confirmation, the guy from the Lindt Cafe siege wasnt affiliated with ISIS but he did it in the name of Islam, he was a stuffing terrorist.
