It wasn't "part of" a terrorist plot, it was a terrorist plot.

I was just going to post the EXACT same thing: It IS a terrorist plot!

Yes, unless they uncover that he was some kind of plant and this was the plan all along, then you are correct that HE plotted and carried out this act of terrorism. HE was the terrorist. What has happened to people that they would gloss over his own actions and statements as to what was motivating him??

Unfortunately we set the hurdle pretty high to declare terrorism during the Bush administration.

Anyone not connected to Al Qeada or some organized terror cell. Instead we have what are called “isolated incidents” or “random acts of violence”.

Absolutely! It was a MUSLIM terrorist plot, even if he acted independently, it is by definition a plot to kill Americans and it was motivated by his Muslim beliefs. To paraphrase David Allen Coe, if that ain’t terrorism it’s a damned bad joke, if that ain’t terrorism you can kiss my ass.
