The news is reporting that the Munich mall shooter was a German-Iranian fellow. This is causing the police to be hesitant to ascribe Islamic motives to his shooting spree.
Most Iranians are Shia Muslims, most al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists are Sunni Muslims. Not that Shia Iran doesn't support terrorists, they do but those terrorists normally are not Iranians.
An Iranian is likely to have zero sympathy for, or interest in joining, ISIS, any of the al Qaeda clones or to find the so-called "caliphate" worth supporting. He is apt to be interested in the building of a new Persian Empire, much as a Turk might aspire to the new Ottoman Empire which Erdogan seems to be working toward.
