Not a shooting, so it doesn't count.

Could be. No word yet.
The first three victims were related, so it is less random than the typical terrorist attack.

I don’t see how that follows, it could simply be that they were within arms reach of a sudden jihadist.

If the husband had been carrying a gun, this wouldn’t be the outcome. He failed to protect his wife and daughter.

Likely sudden jihad syndrome.

In 2017, a coalition of conservative parties won in Austria, with the right-wing
Freedom Party getting control of the Interior Ministry (which controls the police).
I'm still waiting to see any difference.

I dont see how that follows, it could simply be that they were within arms reach of a sudden jihadist.I agree. It is highly probably the THREE family members were walking or standing very closely together. The fourth victim (stabbed 30 minutes later) was probably BY HIMSELF.
As for the article in post #6, it doesn't state whether he was a Muslim/Jihadist or anything.
I wouldn't bet against it, though.

Well since the Afghan population is about 99.9% Muslim, odds are the guy is Muslim.

It’s weird. I spent considerable time in both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and never recall hearing about this kind of knife attack happening in either of those countries.
