I haven't seen anything to suggest either was influenced to do this by Islam.
I've also read that the elder brother was hoping to win a place on the American Olympic boxing team and become a naturalised citizen. Whatever some people assumed about this case, or the suspects, most of it is looking to be completely wrong.
Muslims are .8% of the U.S. population. It's not impossible that they have non-religious motives, but that would be a huge coincidence. The Chechnyans have never carried out an attack on a western country and have no reason to. What could possibly compel relatively normal citizens to do something like this other than religion?
