We had terrorist attacks before Isis existed, of course.
And plenty of violence that wasn’t inspired by any, or other, religions too.
I think some disturbed individuals latch onto whatever is handy to justify their anger, alienation, desire to lash out.

Apparently some OSU’s students are eulogizing Mr. Abdul Razak Ali Artan:

About 25 people gathered on the Oval in front of Thompson Library Wednesday afternoon to discuss last week’s attack on OSU’s campus and read the names of people of color who have been killed by police officers in the past two months. They added Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the third-year in logistics management whose attack on campus with a car and a knife resulted in his death and about a dozen people being sent to the hospital on Nov. 28.
“We broadened the scope of what today was supposed to be, to talk about the aftermath of what happened on the 28th — to talk about what it meant for that attack to happen and also for Ohio State to be a focal point for a lot of right-wing pundits, Islamophobia and xenophobia,” said Maryam Abidi, a fourth-year in women’s, gender and sexuality studies.
“The protest against police brutality extends to the innocent and the guilty alike, because we know that no matter the crime, justice and due process don’t come from a cop’s bullet,” Abidi said while reading the eulogy.

If their protest was focused on police brutality all they did is dilute/nullify their message by including an obviously warranted police shooting. Using force to subdue a suspect intent on killing others can in no way be put in the same bucket as police brutality. Shaking my head.
