Talking About Extremists ...
"Muslim convert pleads not guilty in killing of soldier." Comparisons were made with Dr. Tiller's murder. As the comments note, there are various differences, even if the prosecutor noted conversion to Islam for him was apparently a major influence. Putting aside what a true "Muslim" might be (what is a true "Catholic?"), do we equally see references of other religious in similar contexts? In headlines? Note different facts from Tiller, thus the "terrorism" charges. More.
