I don't think we should be too concerned if he's more crazy than terrorist.
I think that's likely the case, but who knows. My main driving factor is that more terrorist than nutjob likely wouldn't go complain about ISIS controlling his thoughts to the FBI.
But either way, the narrative is the same. He's either a true believer, or he's a nutjob and the ideology of radical Islam is so dangerous that it can aggravate mental illness to acts of terror.

Right. I don't care as much about whether he practiced Islam and became radicalized by ISIS. The existence of the terrorist ideology is the main issue here. The fact that it is showing up on multiple occasions over the dude's life is concerning because it may have been his tipping point

I'm not one to shy away from attributing acts of violence to Wahhabism, but I really do think this guy was just off his rocker, and if it hadn't been Islamism, it would have been something else.
The guy was in the Puerto Rican National Guard in a support unit in a relatively calm part of the war. I doubt he ever saw a day of actual combat, and he's claiming PTSD.
He's schizo.
