Co-workers were killed. This wasn't roaring up to an outdoor café and killing strangers. Farook wanted to settle some scores, don't you think? He had fought with at least one of the victims.

At the same time, they were participating in the greater political/cultural war. That much appears clear, too. People who want it to be 100% terror or workplace violence are missing the mark.
