It depends on the definition of terrorism

At FrontpageMag, Daniel Pipes writes the following:

• Anyone following the investigation into the mid-January slaughter of the Armanious family (husband, wife, two young daughters), Copts living in Jersey City, N.J., knows who the presumptive suspects are: Islamists furious at a Christian Egyptian immigrant who dares engage in Internet polemics against Islam and who attempts to convert Muslims to Christianity.
  
  The authorities, however, have blinded themselves to the extensive circumstantial evidence, insisting that “no facts at this point” substantiate a religious motive for the murders.

Why is our President willing to send 1oo's of thousands of Americans into the Middle East to combat "terrrorism" while our officials here at home refuse to identify domestic terror attacks as such?

Has the ACLU such a stranglehold on our courts and law enforcement that only white, Christian males can be suspected of and charged with "hate crimes"?

Which is more dangerous to our Republic, the islamic radical or the modern American leftist?
