FBI Wouldn't Know Terrorism if it Walked In and Blew Itself Up

Is an act of violence committed against civilians with the purposes of achieving political ends an act of terrorism? Not when it's committed by Muslim fanatics against Jews:

A man claiming to be an "American Muslim" who was "angry with Israel" was arrested after six people were shot yesterday at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, authorities said. One of the victims was killed. The gunman was arrested without incident, authorities said. "We believe it's a lone individual acting out his antagonism," said David Gomez, who heads the FBI's counterterrorism efforts in Seattle. "There's nothing to indicate that it's terrorism related," he added. "But we're monitoring the entire situation."... After the shootings, the man said to call 911, according to a witness who declined to give her name.

Actually, there's a lot to indicate that it's terrorism related - like the fact that on that 911 call (and this is something that this report fails to pass on) , he said that he "wanted us to get our weapons out of Israel".
This is just like the time that an Egyptian national attacked the booth of the Israeli National Airline in the city that has the most ex-pat Israelis on the planet. FBI analysis: no indication of terrorism.
