Doesn't this imply that it may be some type of terrorism? A point that no one wants to admit may be a possibility.
IMO. it is political expedient to call it an act of terrorism, particularly if one wants to further politicize the act.

It doesnt meet the legal definition of terrorism under US law any more so that a radical anti-abortionist killing a doctor or even a mother killing her kids because she was "directed by God" to do so.

These are acts of emotionally unstable individuals who find a self-serving religious justification for their actions. They are not terrorists.
