He did that because he was inspired by a religion which was born from violence. You do understand that muhammad spread Islam by an army, right? Then they screamed a-lalalala like in the movies and swept down. Hundreds of years later, a few pine for these bloodthirsty days of old and wish for more violence. They all need to chill. 

You need to stop watching Fox news and understand the difference between religion and using / hiding behind religion to do terrible things. There was nothing holy about the holy crusades...

Religion does not inspire violence, in fact Islam, just like Judaism and Christianity promote peace. However religion gets used as a tool to drive people into us vs them thinking, just like MAGA and Fox News.

Your a-lalalala is called Ululating. It is a sound made during celebrations or in deep sorrow, sometimes in anger. It's also used in music. It may have had its roots in sending messages across long distances since its undulating sounds appear to carry a good distance. Of course Hollywood movies would turn it into a war cry.

There was nothing holy about the moor's repeated invasions/conquests of europe, either.  In fact, the moors inhabited spain from 711 AD to 1492, and since you're mentioning the Crusades, this was a big part of the motivation to do those in first place.  But they've won the battle of morality because you never hear about that nowadays.  It's only the crusades that are mentioned in the western history books.  No tears, whatsoever because the islamic people's did a lot more because of the issue of occupation.
