orlando shooting: terrorism or hate crime?

[somebody]

Do you think the shooting is linked to terrorism? I think it is more of a hate crime than a terrorist attack. I dont think the shooter had a political target. He might have done this just out of hate towards gays and lesbians. What is your opinion?

Be more tolerant. The solution is to bring in more Middle Eastern refugees.

It's simple American maths
Muslim + gun = terrorist

It's a hate crime because he slaughtered 50 gays after seeing two gays kiss in public. It's also terrorism because he was pro IS

So do you agree that the white guy who shooted several black people because he was black and maybe supported the kkk is a terrorist?

Yes he was but what does that attack have to do with this one? You are belittling today's victims

Apologies if I made you think like that. It just sucks because whenever they call this terrorism I feel they are connecting me with this.

We should not shy away from calling what it is. This was terrorism by IS. 50 were slaughtered because of who they were.
