Islamic Jihadism, according to the evidence they have found so far.

What his brother-in-law is trying to do is defuse any anti-Muslim sentiments against the whole American Muslim community.

I didn't hear him specifically say it wasn't due to religion, but I may have missed it. I did hear him say they don't know what the motivational factors were, including radical ideology, which could imply jihadist Islam. However, even though I missed it, by saying it doesn't have anything to do with religion, could be the standard statement after similar instances, that the act done was actually against the religion. If that is so, that would not contradict that Farook's mindset did do it with a religious ideology in mind, but his brother-in-laws view was, that is not consistent with Muslims.

Maybe I am reading more into than it is
