#1 If muslims aimed their acts of terror against only IRS offices, we would be in a completely different world situation these days.

#2 Snapping under sustained pressure is not terrorism. Psychotic and/or homicidal perhaps but not terror. I suspect he didn't call out Allah Akbar as he hit the building either.

#3 This is defining deviance down so that Jihadis can more easily be characterized as the actions of deranged individuals unrepresentative of Muslims generally.

#6 It was an action undertaken to cause great harm to civilians in an effort to achieve a political aim. Therefore, by definition, it was terrorism. His mental state, race and religion are irrelevant. Slide the masks back up.

#7 When a jihadi commits terror he always makes sure the populace knows more is coming -- or the group that takes credit and 'claims' him will step in and put out that message.

I doubt the populace of Austin (or anywhere else for that matter) woke up this morning 'terrified' because some nutjob flew his plane into a building. So I agree with Tipover ... a whacko with feelings of persecution from just about everyone does not a terrorist make.

#9 Nihad Awad. Does he pronounce his name as "Awad" or a-"WAD" or possibly it was shortened from "Dipwad?"
