To call this an act of terrorism like the Ft Dix plot or the Boyd case is a stretch, just as it is a stretch for American Muslims to say this had nothing to do with Islam. What appears to have occured is that a man with a combination of a troubled psyche, mixed with buy-in to the us versus them mentality that many Muslims in the world share, went off the deep end. This is a dangerous mix, and one that could be repeated, and for which we should be watchful in the future. But this guy is no AQ wannabe.
