Arson at Mosque not a HATE CRIME according to ATF

In Tennesse hateful people are trying to intimidate Muslims into not building a religious center and the Lt. Governor makes anti-Islamic statements.  People are entitled to be anti-Islamic but when some lunatic crosses the line and commits arson against a religious center that is an act of terrorism and a clear hate crime.  According to an ATF spokesperson a probable arson at the construction site of a new Islamic center is not a hate crime. 

ATF spokesman Eric Kehn told CNN on Monday night the investigation is continuing. "We have no reason to think it's a hate crime," he said. (emphasis added)

Excuse me this is a hate crime and the people who committed this heinous act are TERRORISTS!  Terrorism is defined by Merriam Webster "as the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion."  Whether the person is using Islamic ideology to justify heinous attacks on innocent civilians or using misguided senses of Patriotism and warped Christianity to attack intimidate and burn down mosques both of these people would be terrorists. 
America is a country of freedom and Islam is a religion of peace all religions have lunatics who misrepresent the true meaning of the Holy Books.  Please refrain from this hateful speech and attacks on religious people.
