It's too early for me to have a strong opinion one way or the other.StatGuy2000 said:Of course, it's still early in the investigation and more information may come to light, but from all of the reports I've read thus far, the evidence thus far points more to a case of a homophobic attack from a deeply disturbed, self-hating individual (with no connection to any organization but acting entirely on his own) than an orchestrated attack directed by ISIS or similar jihadist group.
FBI is certainly leaving their options open
From the fbi.gov link above

“There are strong indications of radicalization by this killer and of potential inspiration by foreign terrorism organizations,” Comey said, adding that the FBI is the lead investigative agency on this case because it is a terrorism investigation.
So the two dot.gov agencies tell us he might have been radicalized by foreign terror organizations and he wasn't connected to them .
Fair enough.
So I'm not asserting anything more definite than " from information I've seen it could be either of above."
