That is a very good point. By definition, an attack against a military base, against military members, is not terrorist.
That doesn't change the fact that he was an Islamic extremist, a Jihadist. Of course, with the President of the US, the Army Chief of Staff, and so many others loudly proclaiming that his religion had nothing to do with it, we are all supposed to just ignore the facts.
I wonder how many more of these types of incidents we will have to endure before we start taking notice of the fact that the enemy is already within our borders and we are enabling them. (Not just the US, either.)

Pro-Life Group Asks Military to Charge Hasan for Killing Unborn Baby at Fort Hood
Fort Hood, TX (LifeNews.com) -- A pro-life legal group has asked the U.S. Military to charge Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan with the unlawful killing of an unborn child in the shooting that recently took place at the Fort Hood military base. The initial 13 murder charges do not include one for the death of an unborn child, the fourteenth victim.
Hasan is suspected of killing 12 soldiers and one civilian in last Thursday's shooting and he was shot and wounded by two police officers at the base. Yesterday, military officials charged him in those deaths and U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command spokesman Chris Grey said additional charges may be filed -- which the Alliance Defense Fund hopes is the case.
ADF issued a letter Thursday to the Office of Staff Judge Advocate at Fort Hood, Texas, urging it to enforce the law by bringing the fourteenth charge. It wants Hasan to be held responsible for killing both Francheska Velez and her unborn child.
"All murder victims--born and pre-born--deserve equal justice," ADF senior legal counsel Steven Aden told LifeNews.com on Thursday. "Women who volunteer to protect our country deserve to know that the government will enforce the laws that protect their children."
The ADF letter urges enforcement of Article 119a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, which makes it a crime for anyone "to cause the death...of a child, who is in utero at the time the conduct takes place" regardless of whether the killer intended to kill the child. Ref. Source 2
I cannot understand why they are so intent on disassociating his religion from his acts. He was clearly a "Jihadist", associated with Muslim terrorists, and yelled "Allahu Ahkbar" while killing these people.
If it was a Fundamentalist Christian doing this in an abortion clinic, or a white supremacist, that would the all that the media, investigators, and President would be talking about.
Remember when Clinton tried to blame Rush Limbaugh for the Oklahoma City bombing?
