Because they have ambitions far beyond what a lone gunman or half a dozen arsonists can achieve. Somebody who wants to kill Merkel, Erdogan and Khan needs a movement that spans a continent, which means they need to inspire men they've never met to take up arms for that common cause.
Then why do they kill a bunch of innocents instead of spreading their manifesto to likeminded individuals and build their own movement?
Even kitting up and getting arrested in an attempt on the UN would be less counter-productive than what happened in Buffalo.
