Terrorism, as the name implies, is an act designed to strike fear and terror in a certain group of people, usually to intimidate those who do not share the terrorist's ideology. It is completely different from serial killings or violent acts done for the thrill or it or because of a pathological condition.
If he committed that terrible act in the name of Alah and strike down the infadel then yes it was a terrorist act. If he was just saying good bye to his god then no it was not a terrorist act. It makes it very hard to determine if the Ft. Hood guy was a terrorist or not.....well for many of us anyway since we do not know the whole story.
Isn't Obama now calling this a terrorist act?
I have no idea, I just remember a lot of people being really pissed that certain people weren't calling him a terrorist, yet none of them seemed to care that the people who shot up the Holocaust museum or the government building in NV recently weren't called terrorists.
"Neighbors and former coworkers said Speight set up a shooting range on the property that he used frequently. He bragged about guns and explosives, and a former supervisor said he was paranoid the government was out to get him."
From the local paper's article.

As an FYI, I was indeed outraged. It would have killed everyone on that plane.
Like I said, if you were thinking rather than reacting you would have understood where I was coming from.
I also believe the right wing was happy when they first heard about the Nigerian because it gave them another opportunity to once again attack Obama and his administration.
Why do you assume the the right is concerned with nothing but attacking Obama? I consider myself a conservative and I am outraged whenever someone tries to attack our country. Your statement is like saying that the left wing was happy when the housing market tanked and people lost their jobs because it gave them a reason to attack Bush.
